Iowa vs. Big States.

From the State Register.
The Department of Agriculture has
put out some estimates OF last years
corn crop. The crop of the country
runs close to thousand millions of
bushels AN increase over the preceding
year Of 1877 900 bushels. Proud young
Iowa is fourth on the list of no :or,-the
four great corn States being: Illinois,
1874, SG3, 600; Indiana, 9O,s32, 900; Ohio,
7+,Olo,0oO; Iowa, 81, 49,, 600. The good
folks who live in the big, broad States
OF Pennsylvania, and New York are
wondrous full of State pride. If you
propose to compare this newly-born
State with their Commonwealths, they
would crush you with the question,
where is this Iowa you talk about: For
the information of such We will merely
say it is fair little sister of the Union
whose territory was an untrodden will
derness when New York and Pennsyl-
vania were already gray with age, but
which in the year 1858 had . corniie!d

power are returned to it. This process is
going on in many of the Western States. -
The soil is treated like an inexaustible
mine; the tillers crying give, give, give
till in few years it will have nothing to
give. The boast of the West is, large
farms and large fields of grain; plough. SOW
and reap, is tho business of Western far
mers, drawing ont the very life of the soil,
sending away in the heavy exports that
are constantly going onward, without re-
turning to the soil the food it requires to
make it productive.
The light that is being spread abroad
on this subject is beginning to correct this
practice to some extent, but in most in
stances very little is returned to the soil
to keep it alive, till after several years of
continual cropping, it manifests signs of
exhaustion and ultimate barrenness. When
tlllers Of the soil understand their true
Interests, they will cultivate no more land
than they can do we'll. Fifty acres of land
for tillage, brought to high state of cnlti-
vation, pays better than one hundred run
over in the way that many do.

tho result of her experience Our land is
course gravel. In 1867 we had Early
Junes planted without manure. About
ono half werc too small to use at all Last
spring Q86S) [ had the Same kind of pota
toes planted on tho same ground, putting
about half pint OF hen manure in each
hill, covered lightly with earth, laid the
cut potatoes on and covered them. Tho
result was n fine crop, and scarcely enough
small potatoes to be worth picking up,
while those planted contiguous without
manure, We're more than half OF them
small also tho Early Goodrich and Chill
wero scarcely worth digging.
We are in frequent receipt of statements
proving the value OF hen manure in the
growing Of various crops. Coal ashes,
which are generally worthless, may be
mixed with this manure, and will make IN
excellent compost for corn and other plant
ings Sif: the coal ashes under the roost,
or upon pile of the manure placed else
where. Ii in the henery, it will be likely
to prevent the hens from becoming lousy.
