Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Conn
pany.-We have received call from
our our old friend and fellow-citizen =.
Nj. Case, Esq, now Special Agent for
the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Com
pany. Mr.. Case was called East few
weeks since to make arrangements for
the special agency of this Company for
Northern Iowa and Minnesota, and we
are pleased to learn that he has received
the appointment. We are confident
that life insurance is beginning to be
much better understood than formerly.
A few large companies are taking the
lead, and those desiring investment are
looking to their interests. to insure their
lives in a company where they can do it
at least cost, and where their invest
ments are safest. We know of no life
insurance company better than the Mu-
tual Benefit, and none where ii is cheap
er or safer to invest. We feel confident
that the Company have made wise Sc
lection in appointing Mr.. Case their
Special Agent for Northern Iowa and
Minnesota, and would recommend all
who may wish to know more of this
important subject of life insurance, to
seek an interview with him, as he is
well posted not only with his own Com
pany but with all life insurance COM
panies in the United States. We learn
that the Company place the headquar-
tiers of this agency at Dubuque, and
that Mr.. Case is about removing there
to take charge of the Office.

Wood.-Cold weather is approaching
in fact, during the past week has been
uncomfortably close-and warm fires
are getting to be by no means the most
disagreeable things in the world. 1t
makes poor people, however, like the
writer of this item, tremble to contem-
plate the probable price of keeping
warm. Good wood is now selling at
seven and eight dollars per cord. Poor
wood, a dollar less. If any one has
wood to trade for intellectual food he
will confer favor upon a couple of de-
serving young men by calling at this
office. 1t is particularly urged that the
call be made before the weather gets ex-
cessively cold. -."..

PopeHation.-The Des Moines Register
has a way OF figuring up the population
of Its city which is quite novel. We
propose to make an application, and see
how big we are. So, here goes. Cedar
Falls east three hundred and fifty votes
at the recent election. There were GER
tainly two hundred men entitled to vote
who didn't appear at the allot-box,
making five hundred and fifty in all.
We must estimate ten to every voter
for the number Of children is perfectly
astonishing. Therefore, we have, by
this easy method, a population of $500;
or, twice the population Of Waterloo.
We trust our neighbors will not pretend
to dispute the business of our calculation.

Cole O. Idirs Rakcry.---Our Bakery
business is Of much more importance,
we opine, than most Of our citizens con-
slider. Messrs. Cole & TAFT commenced
work on the 9th Of June last, and IN the
short time which has elapsed have built
up trade which taxes their utmost ia
cilities to supply. They are making
now about two hundred loaves of bread
per day, averaging thirty barrels OF
crackers per week, and filling a large
demand for cakes and pies. Since the
start, down to Wednesday night, they
have made 1925 loaves of bread also
barrels of crackers, 500 dozens Of cakes,
and proportionate number of pics
These figures are perfectly correct, as
surprisingly large as they are. Had we
been required to guess, we certainly
should not have come nearer than half
way to the actual amounts. The manu-
facture of crackers, by the way, was not
commenced for some two weeks after
the business was started. This Bakery
is good institution for the town, and
its enterprising proprietors are altogeth-
er worthy of the success they have gain
ed, and our hope is for their increased
prosperity.

Quite Correct. The following dispatch
to the Chicago Tribune will be interest
ing to our readers:
"The cotract for grading the first two miles
out of Cedar Falls OF the Iowa Central Railroad,
has been let to Messrs. o. German and Marety.
The general impression Is that the road will be
completed to Toledo by the first Of July next"
Excepting that the "two miles" should
read ten miles, and Messrs. o. German
and Marety be translated into Messrs.

Wise Decision.-A meeting of citizens
was held last Saturday, to tax into con-
sideration what was best to do in regard
to the bridge across the Cedar, which
has been shaky for some time past, and
of late very badly in need of repair.
New stringers aud other. material had
been provided with a view to making
permanent Improvements. The meeting
of citizens, however, wisely concluded
to max the old bridge answer during
the winter, with the least possible re-
pair, and to replace it in the spring by
a new and better structure. Were q
considerable expense gone to in fixing
up the old bridge, it would be an old
bridge still. In all probability it would
not out-last another summer 1t was
wise decision, therefore, to build one
new bridge, instead of one and half
considering high taxes, depleted treas
ury, and absolute necessity of getting
across the the river, of course. BY way
of hint, we make bold to hope that the
new bridge may be built on some good
plan, promising convenience, perman-
ency, and good looks, and by men who
understand their business and can con-
troll their propensities to cheat.

The Public Square to be Fenced
Street COMMISSIONS Sessions informs
US tilaI the Park, or Square, or whatev-
er you have a mind to call it, is about to
be fenced. Good for that! We've pray
ed for it these five years. The material
is all ready, and the work is only-w
ing for the laborcrs. The money comes
in this wise: In 1856, we believe our in
formant stated, the ladies undertook to
nruwide means for securing the fence.
They raised scme forty dollars, and the
enterprise went by the board from some
cause or other. The money, however,
was put at interest, to be used in proper
time for the object for which it was
raised. The principal and interest now
amount to about eighty dollars. Prop
erty holders round the Park subscribed
seventy dollars, to add to the ladies'
fund, making one hundred and fifty
dollars in all. This amount will put up
substantial four-board fence, that will
keep cattle off the ground, and enable
the authorities to make it Park, if, in
deed, it be now but a Square. 1T is a
beautiful piece of ground, and should
have been taken care Of years ago. Many
of the fine trees have been sadly injur.
cd, and many totally ruined. That il
is not longer to be utterly neglected

After standing ten hours the lye will be

boiler with another gallon of boiling
water. When the contents of the vessel
boil, four pounds of any grease must be
added slowly, poured in a thin stream and
stirred WE'LL When intimately mixed, the
boiler should simmer slowly from four to
six hours, and half an hour before taking
off another gallon of hot water may be
added, together with a half a ~teaeupful of
salt. The latter is not necessary how

few wears ago, most farmers in our
wheat growing regions, thought that IN
order to raise a good crop of wheat the
ground must be well summer fallowed.l
The ground was ploWed usually about the
frsF 0f jane. aud then narrowed and
plowed a~lfarhately until September In
some instances it was plowed SIX but
usually three times ; and those who did
30 fancied that they received ample re-
Enumeration IN an increased amount OF
grain for every blowing. But when the
ground was broken up late In June, or
the fore part of July, and plowed only
twice. as a small number of c~ultivators
were accustomed to do, the work was pro-
nounced as only half done land the diff
ference between the crops where the soil
was plowed five or six times and that
where it was plowed only twice, would
Justify such aIremaFka Thus it will be
perceived that the soil yielded only one
crop in two years or as it was then term
ed, "tWo-crops in three years, as oats,
tor Ihdian corn. followed bv wheat, and
then summer fallow or grass. In some
instances three crops of winter wheat
were raised in succession. AS only a
Limited quantity of manure 0f a very IN
ferior quality was made, summer faltow-
ing seemed to be essential to the wheat
crop. There was not that demand for
pork, beefland mutt0nit that now exists
consequently only a portion Of the coarse
grain Of the farm furnished any fertilizhg
matter by making manure while fatting
stock. The great bulk of the manure was
of q strawy character and only increased
the already too large growth of straw
There was but little grain producing ma
terial in it. The good effects of summer
halE6Wi1g BEGAN 60 fail. 1.-THE straw was
often large enough to yield Forty on fifty
bushels of excellent wheat per acre, while
there would sometimes be no more than
ten or twelve. Every year they were
growing lighter and shorter and the kerr
nels fewer and smaller. These who were
accustomed to rely on the wheat crop for
theirTeyenuey were in g. grieyousdilemma.
This was clean farming, but low culture
ewhile8 scientific, progressive agriculture
requires high cultivation and fertilization
IN close connection with clean Farming
This IS the certain tendency of summer
fatioWfng. It is good for wheat Temporal
rily, but bad for the farm, and worse still
for the farmer permanently. Summer fall
