The Profit OM IOWA Wheat
" iaO Pockets Els

a lew days since we published the
actual quotations OF wheat throughout
Iowa, showing that 80 cents bushel
was the average price that the farmer
now obtains, though the real fact is
that large proportion Of the wheat
now selling does not bring that price
w hat do the farmers of Iowa think
tins same wheat IS now selling for in
New York? Our market quotations
published each day show that it brings
from sl.25 to S1.2S. That is, some
body makes - cents per bushel out Of
the products Of our Iowa farmers
And who is it that thus profits sc
largely out Of their sweat and toiI?--
The railroad and transportation compa-
MES. 1t does not cost for carrying,
storage and clcvating, more than 20
cents per bushel to set down a bushel
OF Iowa wheat in the New York mar
ket. But to be LIBERAL call the actual
expense % cents per bushel, and we
thus see that clear profit OF so cents
per bushel, the original cost here in
Iowa, is made by somebody, and that
somebody is the railroad and transport
tation companies.
Now, we contend that this 80 cents
profit should go into the pocket of the
farmer and not into the pocket of the
middleman.
We contend that if things were as
they should be, wheat to-day would be
worth 100 cents per bushel in Iowa,
instead OF so cents.
We contend that all such enormous
profit should go to the producer and
not to the carrier.
We contend that if the river towns,
Dubuque McGreeor, Clinton, Musca-
tine, Davenport, Burlington and Keo-
kuk, were left to compete with Chica-
go, this wheat could be shipped to New
York Ella the Mississippi river and New
Orleans for 16 to Is cents per bushel,
as has been demonstrated could be
done.
We contend that the discriminating
tariff rates of Iowa railroads are the
cause OF this trouble by which every
Iowa farmer loses so cents per bushel
on his wheat.
We contend that it is the duty of the
Iowa Legislature to compel the Iowa
railroads to be just to Iowa farmers
We contend that our Iowa people
should make such a bnzzing in the ears
OF their Senators and Representative
as will compel them to be just to Iowa
rather than over generous to corpora
tions.-[ Dubuque Herald.

carrots for horses, especially in

that a peck of carrots and a peck
of oats fed together are worth
a peck of Of oats fed alone, while
the general health of the ami

use Of the carrot. Horses thus

half as much water, and will

why DO animals Need Salte

Prof. James T.. Johnson, OF
Scotland, says upwards of half
the saline matter of blood (57
per cent. } consists of common
salt, and this is partly dis
charged every day through the
skin and kidneys; the necessity
Of continued supplies of it to the
healthy body becomes sufficient
ly Obvious. The bile also con-
tains soda Zone of the ingredi-
ents of salt) as a special and in
lispensab!e constituent, and so
do all thecartilages of the body.
Stint the supply of salt, there
after, and neither will the bile
be able properly to assist diges-
ton nor the cartilage to be built
up again as fast as they natural
" waste. 1t is better to place
salt where stock can have free
access to it, than to give it occa-
sionally in large quantities.
They will help themselves to
what they need, if allowed to do
so. at pl ,asure; otherwise, when
they become "salt-hungry' they
may take more than is whole

J. NJ. Chase, of Ann Arbor,
Mich, has believed that chess
could be produced from wheat,
and has tried some experiments.
Commencing last October, he
sowed from a single head of
wheat 45 kernels in a line, eight
inches apart; stuck stakes, num-
bered from l to As, near each
one, to mark the spot. Every
one grew and "weathered' the
Winter. April II, 1869,
pinchcd offhalf the odd numbers,
as an animal would by feeding,
and stirred up the roots of the
other odd numbers with stick,
supposing the effect would be
something similar to Winter
freezing out the roots. June l,
repeated this operation, raising
the stocks of some nearly out of
the ground. The result was IS
stocks of ripe wheat, with no
chess, and an abandonment of
his long-cherished theory, that
destroying most Of the roots or
close feeding the tops Of wheat
will somehow produce chess
where no seed was soWn.

BUTTER!-We are almost
ashamed to state the fact that
the houskeepers Of Des Moines
have to pay at this time, and
have paid for weeks past, forty
cents a pound for fresh butter.
For some years past the price Of
butter has been very high in
our own State, especially in our
Iopulous towns, and cities, and
we should not be astonished that
we would have to pay fifty cents
a pound for it before spring.
Wheat selling at an average
of 50 cents q busLel and butter
at forty cents a pound! This
Is not very pleasant fact to
state, as it reflects very serious
~ upon The judgment and skill
of the farmers or upon our soil.
When our farmers cannot raise
wheat as q general crop and
sell it for within twenty-five
cents Of the cost Of producing
it, and they can make butter
