IOWA.

The Methodist Recorder makes the fol.
lowing record concerning Iowa:
"Iowa is destined to become q great
State. During the past year 600 miles OF
railroad have been constructed within its
bounds, and along its different lines of rail-
road, towns are springing up as if by mag
ic. In the production of corn the State
stands third in order in the aggregate
amount produced, and in the average per
acre leads all others. From the official re-
port of the Agricultural Department, it ap.
pears that in 1864 the State produced to-
tai of 48,67I,l 1873 bushels of this crop; in
1866, 55,29s,938; in 1867, 100000 !;
in 1868, 90,O00,0O0; and this year, should
the weather prove good in ripening time, it
will probably be 100000 or perhaps
$4,000, 900. In another thing, as concerns
the pro uction of wheat and corn, Iowa
leads all others, if we may believe the fig
ures of the Department of Agriculture.
In a table showing the average value of
these crops produced to each inhabitant.
the report represents the fact that the aver
age in Iowa was 72-l2 more than any
other State, Illinois being next. Iowa is
good State for fruit, now that her people
have learned what varieties are adapted to
the climate. Apples are raised without
trouble in all sections, and grapes rever
fail. Pears do well, and peaches are he.
coming common in many localities. Tn
1864 there were 634, $50 fruit trees in hear
ing, and in 1866, l,075,l7G. At the pres.
ent time there is nearly double the latter
amount. For stock growing, in all branch.
es. Iowa is particularly well provided. In
edit cational advantages, and especially pub :
lie schools, Iowa has no superior in the
States, old or young. ThsS'amount of its
permanent school fund, as exhibited bv
the last report of the Auditor, is s2,22l 49,.
50. The value of public houses at the
present time is nearly, il not quite, five
millions of dollars.

The CHESHIRE JEFFERSON CHEESE
The last number OF Littel's Living Age COL
tains an interesting article by Elihu Burritt,
on the great cheese which the people of
Cheshire, Mass, made for Thomas Jeffer,
son. Elder John Leland was great pull
pit politician in those days, and preached
to the people of Cheshire such stirring
Jeffersonian Democracy, that for genera
tons they never voted anything but a
straight Democratic ticket. When Jetfer-
son was chosen President, after a contest
of tremendous excitement, Elder John Lee
land proposed that his flock should cele-
brate the victory by making for the new
chief magistrate the biggest cheese the
world had ever seen. Every man and wom-
an who owned COW was to give for this
cheese all the milk yielded on certain day
only no Federal cow must contribute a
drop. A huge cider press was fitted up to
make it in, and on the appointed day the
whole country turned out with pals and
tubs of curd, the girls and women in their
best gowns and ribbons, aud the men in
their Sunday coats and clean shlrt-collars.
The cheese was put to press with prayer,
and hymn-singing, and great solemnity.
When it was we'll dried it weighed 1900
pounds, and as it could not be trusted on
wheels, it waited tin mid-winter, when it
was placed on sleigh, and Elder John
Leland drove with it all the way to Wash
ington. There was more snow you see in
those times than there is now. 1t was a
journey Of three weeks. All the country
had heard of the big cheese and came out
to look at it as the Elder drove along.
When he got to Washington. Mr.. Jefferson
received him in state. made speech, and
in the presence of heads of departments,
foreign ministers and other distinguished
persons, cut the cheese and served some Of
it around with bread. Then he sent q
wedge of it home to the makers, and when
it arrived they also ate it in state. We are
further informed that the cheese was very
good.

Profit ON Iowa Whent..Who P0cl>
cts Ill

A few days since we published the acta-
al quotations Of wheat throughout Iowa,
showing that so cents per bushel was the
average price that the farmer now obtains,
though the real fact is that large proper
ton of the wheat now selling does not
bring that price. What do the farmers OF
Iowa think this same wheat is now selling
for in New York? Our market quotations
published each day show that it brings
from $l.25 to SIPS. That Is, somebody
makes IS cents per bushel out of the pro-
ducts of our Iowa farmers. And who is it
that thus profits so largely out of their
sweat and toll? The railroad and trans
portation companies. 1t does not cost for
CARRYING, storage, and elevating, more than
20 cents bushel 10 set bushel of Iowa
wheat down in the New York market. But
to be liberal, call the actual expense rs
cents per bushel, and we thus see clear
profit Of so cents per bushel. TIE original
eos, here in Iowa, is made by somebody,
and that somebody is the railroad and trans
portation companies.
Now, we contend that this so cents prclit
should 90 into the pocket of the farmer,
and not into the pocket of the middeman.
We contend that if things were as they
should be, wheat to-day would be worth 100
cents per bushel in Iowa, instead OF o0
cents.
We contend that such enormous profit
should go to the producer and not to the
carrier.
We contend that if the river towns, Dn-
buque, McGregor, Clinton, Muscatiue,
Davenport, Burlington and keokuk, were
left to compete with Chicago, this wheat
coad be shipped to New York cia the Mis-
sissippi river and New Orleans for l6 to Is
cents per bushel, as has been demonstrated
could be done.
We contend that the discriminating tar
iff 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 rail
roads 10 be Just to Iowa farmers.
We contend that our Iowa people should
make such buzzing in the ears of their
senators and representatives as will com
pei them to be just to Iowa rather than ov-
er generous to corporations. - Dubuque

Gov. Merrill has written a letter in rerly
to gentleman who had solicited from him
the appointment of an eminent citizen as
U. S. Senator for the short term, in which
he courteously refuses to accede to the re-
quest, and gives his reasons therefor. He
says:
1.-The duty of elccting United States
Senator, under the Constitution, belongs to
the Legislature of the State. The power
of appointment is conferred on the Govern
or only to meet cases of emergency.-In
myjudgment, although there exists va
cancy, there is no public necessity requiring
an appointment. Iowa is well and ably
represented in both branches of Congress,
and there is no question of any vital i'm
portance imperiled by the few days of de-
lay between the time of the assembling CT
Congress and the meeting of the Legisla-
ture. The selection of Senator not only
being the duty but the constitutional right
of the members OF the Legislature, shall
yield TO them the right, unembarrassed by
any selection of NINE"

A new star has arisen in the constella-
ton of woman lecturers, aud one that bids
fair to eclipse all the rest. The name of
the new candidate for fame is Mrs. Celia
Burleigh, and her home Brooklyn, N. Y.
Her lectures in that city and New York
have drawn from the press, special com.
mendation for their ability and wit, ard their
agreeable and effective expression. Her
subject is the all absorbing one of the posi-
ton and destiny of her sex, which she treats
in manner free from the i'll temper and rant
which characterize many of the advocates
of female suffrage. Mrs. Burleigh's de-
mand is for the independence of woman
rather than the ballot; the privilege OF
starting on equal terms with man in the
race of life, and of winning and enjoying
the rewards of her endeavor.
Mrs. Barleigh is described as having
"thc wit of Miss Dickinson, without her
propensity to scold, and the grace Of Olive
Logan without her vanity and lightness a
presence of uncommon dignity and grace,
and an effective and correct delivery"
