TOBACCO.

From appearances Iowa will, the coming
year. raise her own tobacco. Well, We don't
believe in the dirty stuff, but if it has got to
be used we are in favor of raising it at home
We have no doubt but what it can be made
profitable to our valley. We heard OF a
German that cleared from one acre, five hun.
dred dollars worth Of cigars. Friend Abbo
Of GAINESVILLE, Butler Co.. raised four acres
of beautiful tobacco. The variety was the
Conn. Leaf, and seems to thrive admirably in
this locality. Mr.. Abbot has promised us
his mode Of culture. AS we remarked above
five have got to have the critter among us.
let us have the best If we do not grow I
somebody else will, and We may as well
have the profit as 10 send to Cuba or to the
rebollious South for it.

~ TUAAL SOCIETY,".

We have just returned from the annual
meeting Of the State Agricultural Society.
which was held at the capital ON Wednesday
and Thursday, January 18th and 25th. The
attendance was not very large, only some
thirty Societies being represented. Secre-
tary Wallace's report for the past year con.
tains some valuable hints to the farmers Of
our State. We will at some future time rive
some of them to our readers. The Treasur
er's report showed balance in the treasury
Of about seven hundred dollars. Though
there was not a very full attendance the meet
ing was characterized by degree Of enter
prise and spirit. 1t is evident that We
are progressing, and that the members
manifested disposition to prosecute with
energy the advancement of agricultural i'm
provement in our noble State The White
Willow and the raising of sheep were discuss.
ed at the evening meetings, about which we
will have more to say at some future time.

THE NEW YEAR.

The last year has been one Of great ag1'
cultural prosperity throughout our Stat.
and, one, we confidently believe, of much
progress in the art. Mind, among farmers
has had more thought for the causes and rca
sons Of things than ever before, and il prom
Uses to be still more active and inquisitive II
future. We int nd the coming year if Ii
rs spared, to keep steady draft in the d,
harness, attentiyeiy gathering up for your
pleasure or profit, whatever seems OF pernia
nent value. To each and all we wish a pros
porous and happy year, and to subscribers

RACK I'm THE HARNESS.

We resume our work in the Field and
Garden this week, with some reluctance.
knowing that we are not competent to con
duct it as it should be done. Agriculture is
the first and most important occupation Of
man. He was appointed to it by the Creator
himself, when he received fee simple title
to this magnificent domain, the Earth
Cincinnatus and Washington sought ana
found, in its peaceful lahers, relaxation from
the cares of State. 1t is the broad founda
ten to national prosperity. 1t will be our
aim, in our feeble way, to present whatever
is really useful and practicable in agricultur-
al improvement, to collect and exhibit the
results Of the practice and experience Of Iowa
farmers. To the intelligent and patriotic
farmers Of our noble valley, we confidently
look for the aid and comfort necessary to
sustain our enterprise.
We solicit the contributions Of your pens
and your friendly efforts to extend our list
of subscribers We shall present each week
about one column Of original matter. We
have the promise of variety of articles from
the pens of practical farmers. And now,
readers, may the mantle of your charity fall
over our errors-if there should be sny-as
silently as the night-dew upon the flowers
And now. may he who sustains us, each in
his position, grant us another year of useful
ness and kindly intercourse with each other.

. THE WHITE wILLOw-"salix Ava,


The West is just now going wild on the
White Willow question. We caution our
readers not to 60 deep into it until it has been
tested, and call to their mind the Multicau
lis" fever Of late years. There is no doubt
but what it is Of a quick growth, and will
make good shelter for our prairie farms
but as to its fencing qualities we have our
doubts. A correspondent Of the Country
Gentleman says: :" 1t appears that the White
Willow was planted to some exte Mt in Illinois
some years ago, and in few instances, acct
dsntally grew into complete fence. The
owners did not discover its merits as fence
lin other words, did not see the fence -
but some cute trce-peddlers did see it, and
proceeded to buy up all there was to be found
in the State, and then bring it before the
public in such manner as to raise the presen
fever" We therefore advise our farmers to
be CAUTIOUS. We will advise our rea lers of
ell the iHfsrmation we can gather in regard
to this subjsct.

LOOK TO YOUR FENCES AND WOOD.
PILE.

See that your fences are all in order-new
ones built and old ones re-lsid, 80 as not to
be hindered by this business when spring
blowing and planting time arrives. Look to
your wood-pile also, and while the ground is
roz,n haul home plentiful supply for the
coming summer.

A COUNTRY HOME,
BIT A FARMERS DAUGHTER.

j X.
Oh! give me home in the country wide,
And seat by the farmers wood freside,.
Where the fire burns bria hit frosty night,
Where the jest and the song and laugh are free
Oh the farmers home Is the home for me.
Oh give me home in the country wide, 80
When the earth come out. o. ushilg bride,
With her buds and lowers,
In the bright spring hours,
Her bridal song ringing from the fresh leaved trees
And melody floats on the perfumed breeze.
In summer a seat in a shady nook,
And close by the side Of a cooling brook,
Where the violet grows,
Or the pale swamp rose,
Painting and OK meath the suns scorching beam,
Dips her fair petals in the cooling stream.
Oh give me home In the country wide,
In the golden days of the farmers pride,
When his barns are filled
From the fields he's titled,
And he feels that his yearly ask Is done,
Smiling at Winter, he beckons him on.
