Iowa Farmers College and Farm.

Iowa Farmers College and Farm.
We gather the following from an al
ticlc written by the President of this
college, in the Muscatinc Journal
The FARM.--Hc says it contains
about Gas acres, of which about $50
acres is good timber land, 100 of creek
bottom, and the remainder rolling
prairie. There is some wet land on
the high prairie, as well as on the bot
tom, all of which can be made tillable
land without much cost Of draining.
The land cost S54O0. Sundry expen-
ses in locating, surveying, getting
title, &c, about $3.50. Work done
upon the land and preparation for
building, 5000, leaving $3.50 in the
treasury. This falls short by about
$500 of the requisite fund for build
ing house, barn and fence, and break
ing l60 acres. In the way of assets,
the Board have Story county bonds,
bearing per cent, to the amount of
$4,000 $4,000 in subscription notes,
payable in two years, a part of which

800 acres of wild land in the vicinity
of the college, and 5000 acres nca1
Monroe, in Jasper county.
THE BARN--The size is AZ by &C
feet with basement open to the east
cattle shed on the north side of the
yard. The upper part is for the floor
way, to run lengthwisc north and
south, with the intention to add any
length to the south end which the
farm may require. 1t is to be built
with oak and covered with oak siding,
and painted with durable brown paint"
THE FARM House is to be 80 by AZ
feet front part, with an ell back for
pantry and kitchen. Front two sto
rics, and ell one and half or two-o
brick, with cellar under all. Back o.
the kitchen is to be milk room, wasl
room, with kettles set, and back o.
these wood house. The site of the
College is not as elevated as we would
like, but otherwise it is beautiful.
1t is proposed to build plain, sub
staEtial houses for the college, com
mcncing with one capable of accom-
modating 100 students, and in time
completing three separate buildings
sufficient for 400.

mating in hillary arrangement, caused
By the Malaria Of miasmatic countries.
No one remedy is louder called for by the ne.
cesstics Of the American people than sure and
safe cure for Fever and Aguc. Such remedy
we now enabled to offer, with perfect GER
tanty that it will eradicate the disease, and with
assurance, founded on proof, that no harm can
arise from its use in any quantity.
That which protects from or prevents this dis
order must be of immense service in the commu.
mites where it prevails. Prevention is better
than cure, for the patient escapes the risk which
he must run in violent attacks of this baleful
dstempcr. This "CuRE" cxpcls the MAS
matte poison Of FEVER AND AGrE from the
system and prevents the development of the
disease, if taken on the first approach Of its pre-
montory symptoms. II L. not only the best
remedy ever vet discovered for this class of com
plants, but also the cheapest. The large guam.
tity we supply for dollar brings ii within the
reach of every body; and in bilious districts.
where FEVER AND AGUE prevails, every body
should have it, and u~c it freely, both for cure
and protection. 1t is hoped this price will place
it within the reach of alI-the poor well as the
rich. a great superiority of this remedy over
any other ever discovered for the speedy and
certain cure of ln,crmttcntS Is, that il contains
no Quininc or mineral, consequently it produces
no quinism or other in furious effects whatever
upon the constitution. Those cured by it are
left as healthy as il they had never had the dis
ease.

The snow-liA keS come with noiseless tread
Dressing in white the withcrcd flowers,
Forming curtain in summer bowers.
And a covering for the dead.
Dancing along in frolcsomC glcc,
Kissing the hOughs of the leaflcss tree,
Pressing its lips to the window pane,
In at the door and out again
BcleckiHg the earth in winding sheet,
As ID skips along with its downy feet,
Swimming the air in eddies wild,
Growing the head of the fair haired child
With crystal wreath of snowy spray,
That sparkles a while, then mclts away.

Sailing down on the frozen street,
Dashing along Ter the dreary moor.
Chilling the hearts of the wretchcd poor.
Borne on the breath Of the winter blast,
