The Senate, on the 14th, disousfed the Geneva Award bill. The House considered the Indian Appropriation bill In Committee of the Whole. Chas. H. Worthek, a traveling salesman for Field, LelterCo., ef Chicago, lost a leg by a collMen on the Grand Trunk Railway at Detroit Junction, In July, 1870. He employed General B. F. Mutler as counsel, and secured a verdict for

the manufacture of sugar, tor this purpose the sugar factories pay Sre dollars per ton. But they are very valuahln for feed, and it will par to cultivate
them for this use until a supply could bo grown fora factory. The manufacture is now established in this country, and nothing more is needed than a certain supply of the roots. The culture of this crop is not difficult; good soil and clean cultivation only are required. A fair crop is twelve or fifteen tons, and a good one, twenty tons per acre. Milk Fever in a Cow. Milk ferer is caused by the irregular excitement of the circulation consequent upon the
changed condition of the animal. If
the trouble can be noticed at the outlet, bleeding from the jugular vein is tbe most effective remedy, but after the disease is continued this is dangerous; the remedy is thn to give an active jwrgativc, (sixteen ounces of cpsum salt.) with one ounce' of saltpeter dailjr until the fever abates. Then cooling food, as bran mashes or chopped root, should be given, but no grain food for some time. If the animal is very weak ami torpid, give one-half dram of nux vomica and fMie-haH ounce of carbonate of
ammonia; mb the limbs brwkly with a i

For two loaves, peel and boil six good siaed potatoes, remove them from the water, masJt hoe, and while warm add a little saV, a heaping teaspoonful of lard, and sifted flour to make it quite crumbly.

The public need of an Inetttntton ot
this kind no one will deny who knows
aught about our forest, or ot-tneir reckless destruction, entailing widereaching damage. Aoeonrmg to the estimate of the Uh'iUhI States SurveyorGeneral, there are in Northern Minnesota atone thirteen millions of acres mbsurveved. The Government has been robbed of millions of acres of timberland, as the report of the CpmmWioner of the Land OfHee deelare?. by "the fraudulent use of Homestead laws, soldiers wUlitional homeeteml aad halfbreed scrip." Whole townships, once covered with luxurious pine forests, hnve been entirely denmled of the same, and are now unoccupied wastes. Something should be done to arrest at once this wanton destruction of our Northers
forests, aad efforts made to diRttse & more correct sentiment in reference to their worth, and how -they may be economically consumed, or, where alreaily destroyed, be reiroiluceL The prent Secretan of the Interior, ia his report for 1878, savs: "The dumstrolM ooase3uences which always fcilow, the estruction of the forests of & country are known to every -wellrra . - ...... . .

To no CMHinty would a school of forestry be of greater utility than to ours, while European experience in the premises is sufficient to show tut the economical advantages of the same. Wh a school would become a bureau
of information in reference to the culture of forests aad their sanitary and material benelits. It wmiid snpply as men competent to explore them aiwl report the best methods of preserving or regrowing them. Our timber-lands may be so cared for as to become sources of permanent supply, and not, as by present jwaeiice. be reduced to desert wastes.

The popular ignorance pre vale ut as to the worth of our Umber-lands, as well as the disastrous oonequeaces attending the present wanton destruction of the forests of the country, tend to make the movement for the estaldwhment of a school of forestry both timely and imjHMlant. Such schools, it may not be reaerally known, are in flourish
ing existence in Europe, ami are now regarded no longer as experiments, but have r roved themselves to be of im
mense public utility. Throtnrh them
1ms come an impulse to the growing of
timber on waste lands, as well as a
morn economical management of forests,
sufficient to vindicate the economy of
their foundation.
These schools are found in Neustadt-
Eberswalde. near Berlin; at Tharaudt,
in the vicinity of Dresden; at Eisenach.
Stockholm. Zurich, Aschnnenberg, awl
other nlaces: and the testimony, after
Years of practical workin. is that
through their influence forests have
been grown ujkhi once barren and sterile lands, while systematic effort have been sttccessfully made for the
itreserration of woodtands or the re-
srrowth of timber where once out off.
The instruction furbished in these schools embraces mathematicn, pure
and mixed, so that, according to the
report in question, "the foreeter may
reckon interest on capital invented, tie
termlne the value of a riven piece of
forest-land, measure distances, eomjiute
the cubic contents of a group of trees, anil ascertain the average annual in
crease of the same by growth." Furthermore, the course of study ineludee

That this state of things has in a great measure been caused bv ignorance we charitably admit; but whatever be the eause of the evil the effect is the same. In this vital principle of true and successful farming sustaining fertility by sufficient manuring, we are a a Satkw, shamefully ignorant and criminally negligent. In this matter many of our farmers seem toU.IIy indifferent, either to precept or example: and the work of deterioration is still going on (to a great Mxtentl unchecked and unheeded tn all
