Gather your Seed Corn.

The corn crop Of Iowa is Injured evcryvear
more by the shiftlcssness that ncgiects tosave
seed corn at the proper time, than it is by the
whole gopher, dreutl grub and frost army.

but to the fact that the seed ras poor. Seelcorn

never fails but that picked f'om cribs in the

Against Shoeiug Horses.


W. W. Beebee, Of Dubuque. Iowa, in letter
to the New York Farmers Club, disapproyes
the shoeing Of farm horses, He says:
II drive and work span Of ! 900 ID. hors.
es, who have not had shoes on their feA for
five years, and never on their hind feet, and
always regretted the mistake of putting
shoes on their fore feet. even in one winter
avoid all heavy hauling while ice prevails,
but drive them Up and down hills, and as fast
as Tie best of shod horses. They were made
lame by shoeing, but never since, and their
hoofs are almost as hard as iron itself. So, I
say, keep shoes of colts as long as possible.
If their feet become tender, let nature have y
little time to increase her power Of resistance,
then GO on again. 1t is amazing TO all ihvet-
crate horse shocrs to see what substantial
work nature viii do for the feet of onr horses
if we only give permission. Against the
practice of early, constant aud indscriminate
shoeing ! urge the following considerations,
viz: The time, travel and cost the breaking
Of hoof--by shoeng and becoming tender
if shoe comes off unawares, or at a distance
from a blacksmith the liability of distressing
limpings and constant lameness fron, inter-
fering eorks the habitnal cerking Of them-
selves, causing long times of lameness and
often split hoofs for life; the serious results
that attend the kicking of shod horses = the
putting of iron weights upon those extremitics
that God intended should be as light as pos
sible. My young span, Lghtfoot' and Fleet
wing, who easily &c three and half miles to

ed clogs are well nigh inhuman. have known
very heavy horses unshod when young, at,
tain an elastic, light step that lasted all their
lives even though shod at a later period
sBut do your horses ever fall upon the
ice?'
~ answer yes, about as often as the shod
ones, and with this difference: They have
thereby damaged themselves with their ever
dangerous corks, while mine are unha rmed
and soon learn better than to fall, if ever 50
icy. speak not Of heavy draft horses and
macadamized streets and levecs, or of road
sters in rock bound country, but Of prairie
farm horses, and thousands Of others too
which are so very needlessly shol. say,

horse>shoeing shop off the farm. While talk
ing about horses, want to condemn most de-
cidediy the barbarous practice Of binding
down upon the brain that foretop that God evil

Oh cut those bands off your brides, or else
pull out those soretops especially in hot wealth

sand times if they could speak.

Who FINDERS tion?

Congress has prescribed the terms and
methods of Reconstruction the Generals com.
manding the several Southern districts have
obeyed the laws prescribing the registration
of the legal voters in the several revolted
States; and elections might and doubtless
would have been held in most of them ere
this, but for theiptervention of Andrew John
son and his Cabinet. They have ordered the
elections postponed and the registries reopen
ed, under conditions which Gen. Sheridan so
justly condemned as openinga macadamized
highway for perjury. And those elections
still await the signal from Washington
If, then, Military governments, such as Con.
gresr has established. are despotic and every
way Objectionable, the President is response
Bile for their continuance. These s'satrapies,'
as cur adversaries stigmatse them, are de.
signed for gateways through which the South
ern States shall return 10 that position in the
Union which they deliberately abandoned
Not by Congress nor by the laws, but by the
Presidents arbitrary will are those States
kept under Military rule.
Ifthose States shalt not return to their nor

The Paper dent Say.

A few evenings ago, farmer Slocum was
reading an account of dreadful accident
which had occurred at factory in the next
town, and which the village editor had de-
scribed in a great many hard words. II de.
clare, wife, that was an awful accident over
about, Mr.. Slocum ~ "rll read the count,
wife. and then you'll know all about it, Mr.
Slocum began to read:
"HoRRlBLE AND FATAL ACCIDENTAL be-
lars of an accident that occurred At the lower
mill of this village yesterday evening, by
which human being in the prime Of life was
hurried to tllat .bourn from which, the in-
mortal Shakespeare has said, no traveller re-
turns. Il Don tell" exclaimed Mrs. S. ''Mr.

tangled. His arm was drawn around the
drum and finally his entire body was whirled
over the shaft at fearful rate When his
situation was discovered, he had revolved with
immence velocity .about. fifteen. minutes, his
head and limbs striking . large beam . dis

"Now," said Mrs. Slocum, 81 should like to

One-Armed Ingenuity.

A correspondent writing to the Indianapolis
Journal says: At tPennsylyaniaburg, Ripley
county, Indiana, | met most remarkable
ease of one armed ingenuity. Robert Lewis
q young man without home or kindred, who
had to earn his bread by hard, daily labor
entered the service as a private in General
Spooners regimeas the SD Indiana. At the
battle Of Chickasaw Bluff, Robert lost his arm
at the shoulder. After much suffering he re-
arm only seemed to impress him with the idea
that greater energy would be required if he
would make an honorable living.
He began to study at night and every leis-
ure moment Soon he qualified himself for
teaching. About this time he did what would
usually be, under similar circumstances, q
very foolish thing-he got married. But his
wife accepted the situation, and was willing
to laugh at poverty and help her husband to
earn their bread. He taught school in the
winter, and in the spring began to build
house. was through his house day or two
ago, it has six rooms, is Of the Gothic style Of
architecture, and is neat and substantial
From foundation to roof, all the
work was done by this one armed man, except
that his wife and her mother assisted in raiss
ing it. Not being able to procure joists to
suit him he sawed them out Of wide two inch
plank.
He laid the foundation, bull. the chimneys,
made the doors and sash, in short no sound Of
hammer or any tool was heard about the
building Of that house, except those welded
by his arm. Let any one try to start ten
penny nail with only one hand, and he viii
doubt this story; but strange q it may ap-
pear, it 10 in every resp.ot true
