THE Hours OF FARM LABoR.-There Ia a growing
difficulty among farmers about the hours Of farm labor.
Many Of the hireings strongly disposed to adopt
the ten hour rule - IN vogue among carpenters and
other mechanics. A letter from Columbia County
farmer who writes behalf Of himself and his neigh.
bors wants to know what is the usage generally In the
country out Of the way Of city influence, aud suggest
that statements should be sent in similar to the resPon-
ses to the rate Of wages, and that The TRIBUNE pub
lsh the information.
The writer says, that II there Is general usage that
helings upon the farm are working upon the tenhour
syrtem /. will be pscessary for farmers TO make spe-
cia contracts when they hire help, to the number OF
hours that hirengs are TO labor. One OF his neigh
bors the writer says in hiring man at $l6a month";
common farm laborer stipulated that he should DO the
o,p,nu milking before sunrise and the evening milk
inc after sundown and Of course not 70 work by any
ten-hour rule.
In our own care, we are willing 70 accept the ten
honr nile but not a. some of the Irish aborers dis
poeed TO interpret IL that H. never 10 work over ten
hours any day. and of course not over eight hours In

We continue to be favored with piles of
newspapers and other documents from our
own members as well as from Mcssrs. Cool
BAUGH, AINswoRTH, and others, but so little
progress has yet been made in actual legis-
lation that synopsis of proceedings would
neither pay for the making, nor our readers
for perusing.
In joint convention, Mr.. PALMER of d. :
buque, was elected State Printer, and Mr..
MILLS, Binder, for two years. Mr.. DRUM
MoND, of Bremen, in debate said he favored
the election of Republican State Printer,
and the paying of good prices, so that he
would be able to keep up good party pa
per! Mr.. HUTcHINs, who had offered to do
the State work 40 per cent. less than the
present prices, was voted for by all the
Democrats; but Party ruled, and the 40 per
cent. extra is the price paid by the tax-pay-
crs of the State for the economy-loving party
in power.

The majority of the Railroad Committee
report in favor of giving the airline lands
to the Chicago & Nebraska Road; it is
thought the McGregor Road stands the
ghost of a chance for part of them. Mr..
JENNINGS, of Dubuque, in minority report
insisted that the lands legally belonged by
transfer of the Iowa Central to the Dubuque
& Marion Road. Some hot debating follow
ed, and. both Reports were ordered to be
printed.
A bill has passed (if it has not, it ought
to pass,) putting off the next meeting of
the Board Of Education to,1S65! Before
that time the nuisance will be legally abated.
It passes what are called La,cs, and they
are good for nothing till the Legislature ap-
proves, and experience teaches us that they
are good for nothing then. A proposition
is before one or both the Houses to require
property to be taken on execution at two
thirds its appraised value, Such law will
fasten itself on the State for all time, if al
lowed to pass, and will do more injury to
the credit of the people of the State than
the inexperienced imagine.
