We fad in the last "Capital Reporter a very
serious, yet silly effort to make capitol out OF
our recent enlargement, in favor Of the State
Printer being located at Iowa City. The editor
becomes remarkably nervous at every addition
al manifestation of prosperity on our part, and
makes it the occasion for putting up a poor
mouth and petition to the democracy Of the
State, to be rclnstatcd as Public Printer 1t
is but very recently that he has finished one of
the most profitable jobs, that has ever fallen to
the Public Printer, and yet so morbid is his ap-
petite for the putcr, that he cannot bare to see
us draw upon the State Treasury for few dol
lars or make any improvements in our establish
ment, without making it the pretext for an cleo
| pioneering article
We do not intend TO make our paper the me-
dunn through which to blow our trumpet FOR the
office of State Printer, provided we should
conclude to b, candidate, and we think he
would consult discretion and good taste if he |
would bestow upon his readers other matt or for
their consideration.
Our brother Paul mast be alarmed about his
reelection, if he commences this early to start
the mill. AS to the necessity of LOCATING the
State Printer, at Iowa City, it is all CANNON

work as well and as promptly as it was done at

in the end by the fertilizing effects of the

have in readiness by the middle Of Octo-
Der, cotton seed sufficiently heated to pre-
vent them from sprouting. Sow down
broad cast from twenty-five to thirty BUSH
els cotton seed per acre; do this when the
earth is in good order for plowing, follow
ing the sowing Of the cotton seed with
good square-pointed scooters, putting the
best plow hands to the work-breaking
up the lands close and deep. This done,
let it remain until you wish to SOW the
wheat which should never be done when
the land is wet-but select a time when
the ground is quite dry. As regards the
time of seeding, much will depend on the
kind of wheat. | usually SOW about the

last twelve years. planted no other kind
but the Red May Wheat, which Yields
me from twelve to fifteen bushels per acre,
weighing about G3 pounds per bu5hel.
Having my land prepared as above
stated, when | find the earth in proper
order, and the proper time has arrived
for seeding, we run the land off in rows,
or lands of proper width for sowing;
this should be done with a very small
cutter, SO as to leave as small furrows
open as possible. Sow according to the
quality of the land. An average quality
will bear about one bushcl per acre, but
vary, according to the strength ofthe land,
from three pecks on poor land, to five pccks
on very good land. feel warranted in
saying that this plan Of preparing and
planting will insure good crop of wheat
nine years out of ten. Try it. We all
agree that soaking the seed in blue stone
is necessary to prevent smut.

Mr.. EDITOR: As the time is near at hand
when we planters should be preparing our
lands which we design sowing down in
wheat, have concluded to give your
many readers my plan of preparing my
land, planting the wheat, DC.
AS the wheat crop should follow after
corn, it is necessary that the corn should
be gathered off the land rs early AS il will
be safe to do 50. Let the hogs have time
to eat most ofthe peas; but do not suffer
cattle or any other stock to eat the vine
and leaf-as you will be much better paid
--
*The crop Of wheat on all this land was
very fine, Except the portion DESTROYED by
the joint worm,) and the result may be satei
estimated IN the following manner:
Crop tobacco, 1000 pounds per acre, Mt
scents, 80 90

On the Death of Philo Henderson, Esq
BY ETIwAN.

Muse of the South alas he dies.
What premature decay!
Bards Of Carolina! he lies
Beneath unthinking clay.
In sable doth Catawba's Tyre
Unstrung, on willows hang.
The minstrers mute, who sang with fire
As minstrel never sang.
The morning star of Genius rose
In splendor bright and gay;
Yet, ere the dazzling day could close,
Its brightness passed away.
The flowers, brooks, and warbling throng
Have lost poor Philo's pen;
Nor can we e'er in sweetest song
Be charmed by him again.
The "Flower Of Catawba," led
The dark and untimely way.
He sighed-he followed-now with the
dead
They sleep through endless day.
Come Walkup, Wiley, Badger, all!
Combine your tears with mine;
Let grief in burning torrents fall
Upon his sacred shrine.

Oft in the Silly night,
Ere slumber's chain hath bound me,
The blamed mosquitoes gin their flight,
And all come buzzing round me,
L lose my rest,
And do my best,
To rid me of this evil,
But It's in vain,
And for my pain
I hey bite me like the dickens.
Thus in the Silly night,
Ere slumber's chain hath bound me,
The tarnal 'skeeters gin to bite,
And all come buzzin' round me.

The nights we've passed together.
I'm glad when comes the fall,
The cold and wintry weather,
Then Pm the he
That from guile's free,
Then I've no thoughts of evil,
But when the critters come again,
| wish them at the Dead Sea!
Thus in the Silly night,
Ere slumbers chain hath bound me,
The tarnal varmints' gin their flight,
And l drag the kiver round me.
