The cai.ir.on cchc
lut in a formation cc
Our School law has
p rore its adaptation to our sparcely set
tled Territory, lot have our people fully
understood its prcviji,r.3. The apparent
jirrir arnor, the pccrle in their c flbrts
to carry cut the law, Lzi not arisen from
any lock cf interest in paUia school j, lut
frcn ccr.f.i'jtir" rp:r' r.s in regard to
v: hat the juj i.;."ani from local jealousies
and private preferences. Aud this state
cf things will continue 3 Iocs: as ths
same cr similar elements esist. V'e
need net lock for onyihinj like unanimi
ty in the people for the present law or
any other that could Le enacted ; and for
the following reasons : Our population
is made up of emigrants from all sections
of our common country. Sections ivhere
common schools are held to be the pub
lic guarranty cf the people's liberty,
growth and prcsperty,' or where free
schools are ignored, cr made of minor
importance. We have many from the
Eastern, Middle and Western States,
where the common school systems are in
ali conditions of development, from that
of tried and settltd utility dow-n to that
cf experimenting doubt and uncertainty.
Each class of emigrants has become wed
ded to its respective , system, and there
fore opposed to all others. The result is
distrus-t, confusion and mismanagement.
Yet this would, in time, work its own
cure it. the law was fairly and judiciously
explained anu carried out by efficient of
ficers. But instead of waiting, and giv
ing the law a fair trial to prove its inef
ficiency, our legislators, -filled with the
idea that there is wrong in the system,
somewhere, go to work changing and re
pairing until we hardly know what the
law is. One party is for a Territorial
Commissioner, because the State froo
which it hailed had them. Another be
lieves that the Lterests of Education can
be looked after by other officers for a
similar reason; and so of other parts and
provisions of the school system. By this
mode of procedure, the injudicious zeal
to heal a difficulty that time and popula
tion and forbearance only can heal, the
r ni is made worse, and the patches only
stuck on for the next mender to tearoM'.
If we could learn to give our laws a. pres
idential term of probation until their mer
it or demerit was fairly tested, we would
find ii to the adv antage of education and
the growth and prosperity cf otir schools.
Until our people are educated to work
together, and become accustomed to the
school laws, we must look for mismanage
ment and confusion in the. best system.
The school laws of New England, where
population is dense, would cot suit Ne
braska with her ualf dozen families to a
four mile district. We must of neces
sity Jabor under difficulties and work at
a disadvantage for years to come. ; I am
not now arguing for any particular sys
tem ci education, but simply wish to show
that our former preferences should not
govern us in our present action; and that
continual changing is not only injurious
to the prosperity of our schools, but cal
culated to confuse the people. What
may suit one locality may injure another.
What would please the North would d'u
please the South, and so xn. What the
people want is a plain, straight forward
law, suited to a new country; easily un
derstood, and capable of practical dem
onstration. It is evident to every reflect
ing mind, that a new law in a new coun
try, in order to prove successful and ben
eficial, must be uuderstood by the people
upon whom it operates. To put such a
law into successful operation among a
people educated to a dozen different sys
tems, requires a special superintendent
to guard its interests and explain its op
erations. To commit such supervision
into the hands of an officer chosen for a
different purpose, is only calculated to
defeat the end " desired. Even if such
an officer was qualified: for the position,
he ha3 not the time or means to attend
to it. If the object is to curtail expenses
it is at best but a weak and short-sighted
policy. "Penny-wise and pound
focliih." Like trying to catch water in a
stive while you save the drops jrcu loose
the quarts.
I am neither speaking in behalf cf de
feated office seekers, or disappointed as
pirant, but am writing from the experi
ence cf older Sia'es. -and from what I
feel to be the wants of our young Ter
ritory. If thvohKrand best organized
school systems of th" States require such
suprrvijors to louk after and attend to
the interests cf education, much more do
we incur infancy need such supervise rs.

know how, are more apt to do S0'wh;n

Our new correspondent "Eno.'V.iost
certainly takes the proper view as re
gards a School Law, and its operations.
The School Law of Nebraska, when first
enacted, was one of the best in the conn
try. As our friend says, perhaps its every
feature did not suit every particular local
ity; nor could such a law be made. But
ignorant cnes have tampered with it eve
ry session of the Legislature since, until
we consider it now nearly destroyed.
Nobody can tell head or tail cf it. The
last Legislative action in regard.to the
School Law abolishing the office of Su
perintendent virtually took from the
system its main Spring. Telo.

Timber Trees.
Now that there is a bounty ottered for
the cultivation of forest trees we expect
to see our wide extended prairies dotted
with beautiful groves; so relieving to the
eye and so enchanting to contemplate in
a rural scone. It is all we need to render
our territory as attractive as it i3 now pro
ductive. Trees are companions; who
has not felt their soothing, still, small
voice, when sitting in the solitude of a
leafy grove ? Or, wandering lonely
through a vast "contiguity of shade ?rt
And, independent of any premium, I
have thought their culture might be made
profitable. It i3 certain that in a region
so sparsely wooded there is an absolute
necessity to turn our attention in this di
rection. And, as there is every proba
bility that the Homestead Bill will become
a law, strangers, desirous of finding a
home, will in addition to the invitation
held out by the almost unparalelled fer
tility of our soil, so easily worked when
once broken have many inducements to
settle among us.
To encourage those desirous of engag
ing in the pleasing occupation of cultiva
ting timber trees we will state, that,.hav
ing had some ten acres of prarire plowed
we were surprised, the following year, to
see several thousand trees up all over the
breaking, the offspring of seed blown
from a neighbo ing grove. In plowing
for corn most of them were, however, de
stroyed, those that escaped, by being in
the rows, we trimmed to prevent them
from shading the crop too much. They
grew astonishingly, and whether removed
to another spot, or suffered to remain,
they will in a few years be large enough
for raita and posts.
I would advise setting out trees in rows
twenty-five feet apart, and cultivating the
ground as usual by raising wheat, oat3,
corn, barley, sugar cane and potatoes un
til the trees shade the earth to much for
these crcps. Then, as a final operation,
sow grass seeds; and you will have a
beautiful grove in which to rove, cr re
pose ; nay, more, in ten year3 a profitable
one. For if sufficiently extensive, you
may not only use nil the timber you need
for fuel or fencing, but have it to J-ell to
your less provident neighbors; and your
cattle will in it find a screen from the
scorching beams of summer, while crop
ping the herbage beneath.
The cottonwood, maple and willow
grow rapidly, but. as they are net suitable
for poits, though they do well for nils, it
will be requisite to plant out oak, walnut
and locust, the tops of which will do for
fuel. I am informed by a neighbor that
he raised these sufficiently large in Illi
nois to make four posts to the cut cf mere
than ordinary dimensions in ten years
without any care.
I think the premium offered is an ex

Gating IVIuat f Earlv.Ua who
sows his spring wheat as early a3 the
ground will permit can rely on a belter
crop than he who waits until a gecd day
comes. If you have a piece cf praiiie
broken up list summer, t-ov: cne and a
half bushels of wheat upon it to the acre,
au l then drag it well two or three times.
A crop put in that way in this (O:oe)
county last season returned a gocd yield.
In some of the Western States, particu
larly Minnesota, this method cf sowing
on the soil is becoming very general.
Farmers try it.
Raise Sugar Cans. Let every farmer
the coining season raise half an acre cf
sugar cane, and have it worked up in;
molasses. It will pay you for all trouble
and expense twice over. In thh county
the past season quite a number cf acres
were planted, the juice pressed out and
boiled down which we pronounce passa
ble. Let there be twice the quantity
planted the coming spring end you vill j
never regret it. It costs no more to ruli;;
it thn corn, while an acre will produce
SCO gallons of syrup !
Give Caille Good Cere. Reader, I
have been engaged this winter in testing
the adage of an old Pennsylvania farmer,
given rne year3 ago, said he: "Feed your
cattle three or four times a day, instead
cf but once or twice ; rely on it, it will
pay you." I find the eld dutch farmer
was right ; for my ccw3 lock better than
my neighbors, who have had better shel
ter than mine. Feed cften, and a little
at a time in ccld weather, never let any
be left on the ground, if net eaten ta he it
! away until you feed again. Let cattle be
welJ fed, have a good warm stable or
shed, and free access to good water, and
our word fcr it, it will pay you a b'g per
cent in the spring.
Farmers Save Your J.Tanvre. Not one
farmer in a hundred in the west ever
saves the manure about, his stable cr cow
yard ; whilrf its application properly upon
his land would be more thin five dollars
an aero yearly. You approach the sub
ject of manuring to most western farmers
and theytellyou their land is rich enough.
That may be, but it i3 not tamt enough,
if we nay be allowed to use such a phrase.
It needs deep plowing and plenty cf well
rotted manure to neutralize it for most
small grain. In New Hampshire, New
York and Ohio they raise forty and fifty
bushels of wheat cn an acre cf land,
where it ha3 been manured farmed
cultivated! While we, here in Nebras
ka, with a soil as prolific as the fun ever
shown upon, are content with fifteen or
twenty hu-uVIs to the acre. Let us awake
from this lethargy, my farmer friends,
and go to work in earnest.

Lice on Cuttle.
As I have bten in the habit cf read
in? your paper, and have received much
valuable information frcm it, I take the
opportunity cf giving some cf my expe
rience in destroying lice on cattle and
calves, and licks cn sheep. I have tried
almost every receipc that I have hfard
cf. but found none that had the desired
effect without injury to the animal, such
as feeding sulphur and cepperas in suf
ficient quantities to saiurate the bleed
more cr les3, according to the weather at
the lime cf feeding. T.Iy way is to
smoke them with tobacco, blowing it in
to the hair about the bead and neck, nose
and along the back, and whererer the
lice are most to be found. I have used
this for four cr five years to a perfect
satisfaction. It makes the hair soft and
smooth, and makes it smell so much like
a tolr.cco smoker that tbey cannct stand
it. What it does not kill, run fcr their
lives; they cannot stand the smcl?.
The instrument I use is made cf tin,
shaped like a tin horn, about sit inches
long, with a cover that fits tight ever the
bier end, two and a half inches in diam
eter, with a small tube in the center, sol
dered to the cover to blow through. Put
th" fchacco in, with a coal cf fire cn top,
