The following preamble and resolutions

| ed: :fss s5..
WHrREAs, We, officers and men of the
nth Iowa Infantry, feel deep interest
in the coming State Election, and be-
lieve that aa expression of our Telling will
be q matter Of interest among our friends
al home, do therefore submit for publica-
ton, the following resolutions:
|. Thatawe hayesanlimited confidence
in Col. VIM. M.Stone, the present Union
candidate for Governor Of Iowa. From
literally aspeor boy, he has, by his energy
and ability, attained an eminent position,
and we regard him eninently "the man
for the times. Since he has, been res4
ident of our State he has never been
found wanting In ability to discharge any
dutysifltrusted to him. As q soldier, his
conduct was .ao5ls, such IS 10 add increas-
ed lustre to- the renoWn achieved by our
State troops. Expecting the malicious
and the envious, the enemies OF our
common country, will be found to be ms
only villifiers. We shall rote for him fer
our next Governor. -. -
2. That since Gen. J. II. futile has be-
come candidate for Governor on the
pseudo Democratic State Ticket, we deem
it but right to state why we shall unani-
mously support Col, Stone in preference
to the General. Gen. futile was good
soldier and we believe him still to be q
loyal man; but it va the not.another-
dolIar-and-not-a nother-man-for -the-war
men who put him in nomination, and we
cannot vote for him without compliment
/ ing these ntiscfeqhts.' Should the General
be elected it would be trtlmpeted as a
Copperhead victory This is not all. The
South is now looking to the coming cleo
ton in the Northern States as the final
arbiter of their destiny. If they see that
the~North is united in the policy to pros
ecute this war till the reRolted States are
subdued and an honorable peace restored
the rebellion will be at an end.
3. That a copy OF the foregoing res
olutions be sent, for publication, to the
Burlington Hawkeye the GAZE City, the

Washing Sheep.

Washing Sheep.
Mr.. EDITOR Much is being said in favor
of abandoning the practice Of washing
sheep, also on the great contrast between
the condition Of the wool before and after
washing. Would something adverse to a
change be out Of place If not, let any
recreation, call to mind the amount of filth
and dirt oozing from the fleece, discoloring
the water as the expert operator keeps it in
motion about the carcass Of the subject un.

Never should q sheep be caught by the
fore leg or the wool on it's sides or back
They IRE not likely to be injured if caught
by the hind leg or the wool on the neck
near the head. l@ SILT "
Washing the wool on sheep is said to be
unnatural" But there are other unnatural
practices in connection with sheep hus-
bandry which are universally approved
Never having known q sheep to take cold
or show any signs Of cold Ut chilliness in
consequences of being washed, apprehend
no danger in that direction.
If one escapes unwashed, as now and

~@ ing. Pc
Ed. FARMER Many of our Wisconsin
farmers have experimental with nothing
but wheat, until now many have scarcely
the means to experiment on anything else,
and some even have not the seed left to 20
into another experiment with wheat. As
has been often suggested in the FARMER, I
believe we should go into greater variety
in our farming operations. just now it
would seem that the whole attention might
be very protitably directed to the produc-
ton of any one article of farm produce,
with good prospect Of ample remuneration.
All kinds Of grain are now commanding a
good price, equally SO are pork, sheep, wool,
&c. Now is not that good reason why
wc should have some of each article for
sale? Some one article Of grain may fail
and not produce a good crop Disease or
dogs may attack the sheep, or the hogs may
be destroyed by some, now unknown to us,
distemper.
Undoubtedly the aggregate sales from .
farm, yielding a variety of produce, will
foot up as large, for term Of years, as one
producing for market only one or two
articles, and without doubt the farm will
be in better condition and Of enhanced
value: l.. R. BINGHAM.

POPLAR RAILs.-,Joseph Roberts, of

Farmer: II can produce poplar rails,
made in the month Of April, in the year
1916, that are sound this day, free from rot,
and better than any oak rail have in my

we're felled after the leaf had come out, and
in splitting the trees the bark came of, and
every rail being free from bark, the timber
seasoned at once-hence the durability
