sometimes its consequence; there is nothing,

etc, may give rise to the animal. This asser
ton has been refuted by NJ. Piogey, as he re-
suits of his observation at ST. Louis Hospital,
of 800 cases: 81. The acarus is never NOR

SHEEP AND WooL.-Ilaving taken deep
interest in sheep husbandry, as business
for Northern Iowa, we have been favored
with a promise of articles on the importance
of making Iowa sheep State, by the Hon. J
B. GRIyNELL. Our readers will find short
letter from Mr.. GRINNELL below. We think
there is no business that the farmers of Iowa,
and, particularly, of the Cedar Valley, can
pursue that will yield such an adequate re-
turn for the labor employed and capital in
vested, as wool-growing does. To make it
profitable, the person engaging therein should
know how to manage them in winter and
summer; also something of their diseases
and how to cure them. We intend to give a
series of articles in each number of the Field
and Garden, on this subject.
Mr.. MEIENpY-Dear Sir :. You ask nc
about sheep news. can only say that the
per cent. of the value of our heavy products
being required to transport them to the best
markets, has turned the attention of many OF
our most intelligent agriculturalists to wool

The New Year.

Kind friends of the agricultural department
of the GAZETTE: we salute you again in this
our first issue in the new year. Friends of
progress, and friends Of improvement, a
happy new year to you all !! happy new
year to all our readers! happy new year to
the great Cedar Valley! successful new
year to all improvements, all good intentions
and enterprises s..s...s. .. .... 49,.
Friends of agriculture, for a moment let us
stop and look back upon the year that is
gone. Let us ask ourselves if we have uni
formly improved that time as we should have
done, in "going on to. perfection in the
practice Of the glorious calling in which we
are engaged? s-... ... ..- -t..-f
To us it belongs to clear away the rubbish
and make smooth the road, that our children
may walk therein, and assume that rank and
position in this world of ours to which the
intelligent tiller of the soil is rightfully emit
tied. Let us all then enter spiritedly into
" the work Of clearing away this rubbish as
fast as we can. Let as kaaoso rastly more al
the end Of eighteen siety-taeo than zee haoa'
npo.
Farmers and friends, do not forget to write
for our department. Whatever you have
learned, that you regard as valuable acqui,
stion in knowledge, do not keep it, miser-like
to yourself, but write it down and send it to
the GAZETTE, that others may know, too. a
great many of our readers have items Of
knowledge that are of the highest Value
Now, kind friends, do not begin to excuse
Yourselves with the plea that "you cannot
scrite" If you have thoughts within, you
can tQlk them, and we are certain you can
write them, too. No matter if your writings
are not exactly in proper shape for the printer
to put in type, for any later dressing up, that
may be needed, shall always be cheerfully
and kindly given. Let us all be true to our,
selves and to one another, and labor vigor-
o,sly for the upbuilding of an empire here,
in the very center of which is the queen q
the Prairies, reposing like a proud monarch
ess, and looking out upon the glorious vallies
that surround her: an empire of glorious
thought and vigorous action, that shall tell on
the history of our valley for all time to come
Let rs. arouse our energies and acquit our

"The shutter closed, the lamp alight, #THs
The faggot chopped and blazing BRIGHT
40 The farmer BOW, from labor free,
Dances his children ON his knee;
While underneath his masters seat,
The tired dog lies in sumber sweet"
This is the season of drcary and gloomy
weather. The sun rises late and sets early
noon treads upon the shades of night. Its
now winter. But, gloomy as is the approach
of this season, "winter is not the death of
nature, but is preparing in her womb the
embryo OF the coming year. A thousand
secret operations are in progress, by which
the seeds, buds, and roots of future plants
and flowers arc not only preserved, but elab-
grated, that when the prolific months of
spring arrive, they may burst into life in all
the freshness and vigor of new birth" So
all seasons are important to the production
and perfection of the farmers crops. Winter
is period when, in comparison with other
seasons, there are few objects of interest to
arrest the attention. Many of the important
and pressing labors of the farmer being end
ed for the year, it leaves him opportunity for
reading, for study, and reflection. Then we
have this to say: Let each hour of this COM
paratively leisure SEASON be as faithfully de-
voted to the cultivation Of the mind and
heart, as the hours Of spring. summer, and
autumn have been to the cultivation Of the
several crops, and contentment and happiness
will surely flow from your efforts, as the
springing corn and the waving grain were
the consequence of your timely industry in
the spring. '...'
A benifcent Providence has so arranged
things that there are duties demanding our
attention at all seasons; and among them,
at this time, an uppermost one is to look well
to your stock Cold acts as a stimulant to
the system, and that is why we require ami
NAL diet in the winter more than in the sum-
mer flesh supplying the waste occasioned
by the cold more readily than vegetables
If, then, the animal is cold, it requires more
food, and of more nutritious nature, to
keep up the natural temperature Of the body
than when comfortably sheltered. 1t will,
therefore, be found cheaper to protect the
animal from the cold than to supply the ex-
sGa amount of food Young animals must
receive careful attention. If stinted in food
and exposed to the clements, they will scarce
ly ever assume those full, plump, and hand
some proportions so desirable, do what you
will for them afterwards. d. Ers

New Years Morning Thoughts.

IT'S New Years morn, and all Is still
And while silent sit, sober
Reflections throws her mantle DER
MY mind; and thus In breathless
Whispers says,-"Another year Is gone;
Another arch in the bridge OF life
Has fallen, and with il how many
Lives have persisted! Ye who still survive,
Review the past--review your deeds,
And ask why you've escaped.
Is it for your own & iod works?
/. Can you claim superior skill
In guiding the frail bark of lie
Down Times rapid tide, in which are q
Rocks and shoals nnumerable?
Nay, verify but He who sees the
Sparrow fail, hath still upborn you,
And, II in Him you trust, well ever"
AS thus musng sit, the future
Breaks upon my view. Anticipation
Steals my thoughts, and thus she seems to say:
Past errors may forgiven be, yet
Better far, never to commit them
Therefore be wise in future commence
Anew thy life, firmly resolved to
Pass the present year-if life be spared
In doing good then shalt thou be blest,
Ard have indeed a Happy Year." ..f -- ..s.
Hes wort, Sri wise, her counsels good,
And may it be well received! May all
Pursue the paths of Peace guard well their
Thoughts and acts, and aim at happiness.
So living, when our Father calls,
Cleerfully the summons well obey.

the noble calling in which We are engaged.
Onuard! is the watchword for all true men
in this moving, stirring age. Let us enter

let us grow wiser and wiser every day.

to do what they can to increase the circle of
the readers of the GAZETTE the coming year.
We know that the crops of the farmers Of our
Valley are low in prices, and tlrat men are
forced to economize, but we feel sure too, that
$3.50. invested in family newspaper, and
which contains such an important feature as
we try to make our department in agriculture
can be saved in many. ways, and that it will
pay better intercst.invested in this way than
in any other, and we hope the Field & Gar
denis weekly visits may be hailed with pleas,
ure by hundreds of families all over our State,
and we appeal for kind words and influence
on its behalf; and friends show it TO your

Our Mission

VIII be to give our farming community all
the information that We can gather from the ag-
ricultural world. Our columns will be devo-
ted to all departments Of agriculture, grain,
stock, gardening, fruit, fencing, forest trees
from seed flowers to household affairs, &c.
Our selections will be from the best agricultu-
raj works in the country of such matter as
will be suited to our location. We trust that
those who have borne with US during our in
fancy will continue to support us in our more
mature condition. In defeating our col
umns to the cause Of agriculture and horti-
culture we consider that we add one more
spoke to the great wheel of human welfare
and improvement.
The importance of agricultural papers is
now so generally acknowledged, that no
apology is thought necessary or any argu-
mert required, to induce the great mass of the
farming community to subscribe for the GA
zETTE, and it is hoped that the friends and
patrons of our department will renew their
subscriptions, and secure two or three more
in their neighborhoods.
We will have contributions to our columns
on agriculture, horticulture ard miscellaneous
matters from some of the best men in the State,
among whom are Hon. j. Il. GRINNELL, j. II.
WALLACE, Sec'y of the Iowa S. Ag Society,
SuEL FOSTER, President Of the Iowa State
Agricultural College, WIN. Duane WILSON,
Secretary Iowa State College, DR.. SrRAGuE,
and host of others. These gentlemen are
well known and their talent and zeal in the
cause are sufficiently well known not to need
any comment. v~ .....
