the sport naturally began to dag. While
Mr.. Schoelhurst was examineing his
watch, very fine gold one, to which .
black ribbon and seal were attached, his
line being left csrelessly In the water, .

fish-pOle from his hand, SO startled him
that in trying to grasp II with the other

continued fishing for couple Of hours
after the accident, and then rowed home

knocked from under the steamer, and
settling down upon the smooth and slip

Iowa Facts.


west seek immigration by the high col
ored pictures of each. Iowa never took
precedence more truthfully than this
year. Her wheat crop was never so
good as this year. Oats, by their plenti-
fulness, will be drug In the interior at
q Yankee shilling a bushel. The corn
Is Of a most luxuriant growth, and gras-
ses, cultivated and native, are far in ex-
cess of the wants Of the stock, the in
crease and value of which animals give
our State the peculiar occasion for boast
ing.
The value of live stock in Iowa in
1860 was $21 ,00O, 600; in 1885 1t was ST.
100000. Three hundred and fifty per
cent. in six years, during four years Of
which one-fourth Of our agriculturists
had gone to the war. Comparisons will
best illustrate. The New England States,
justly boasting Of their blooded stock of
Devons, Morgans, Merinos and Downs,
have an advance of fifty per cent. in the
same nerini and the total value of ami
surpasses that Of the stock Of Iowa.
New York, with five times our popu-
lation, has not half our proportionate
value Of stock to POI, i!ation. Indiana,
the paradise of swine, only leads US q
few millions In the value of all stock
Illinois, 80 successful in obtaining the
credit for the beeves of the Northwest,
to be the equal of Iowa should have .
valuation Of $50, 600 900, but falls short
of it So, 10000 Wisconsin and Mich
igan, each surprising US in population
by 1000, fell behind Iowa in the value
of live stock, the former $24 ,OO0, 900 and
the latter $19,0oO,00O. Taking wealth as
a basis, our pre-eminence among the
States is still more apparent.
The legitimate deductions from these
facts are: First-We are enriching and
not impoverishing our soil as is done by
grain raising for expectation. Second
Our people, In the care Of domestic ami
mails, find more time for recreation and
improvement than those engaged in any
other agricultural pursuits. Third-The
marvellous advance is At once an argu-
ment in behalf Of the sagacity and care
of our breeders, and for the richness of
our crops and cereal products, and the
adaptation Of our predominating domes-
tic animal races.

not overlook these attractions Of State
where fve-sixths Of the acres bear luxu-
RANT grass, unclipped by brute and
left for the autumnal fires, as rich as the

cheer, have an invitation and welcome
