Captious.

The Oskaioosa Herald wants to
know why there is any one portion
of Iowa troops entitled to the adjec-
tive appellation OF the "Iowa Bri-
gade," and we reply that the llth,
18th, 18th and 10th Iowa Regiments
were brigaded together at Shiloh
under Crocker and remained intact
as a brigade to Louisville aud final
muster out, which anomalous oircum-
stance, gradually gave them a name
among their comrades as the Iowa
Brigade" in that army where the
great bulk of Iowa Soldiers served
under Grant, Sherman and McPher-
son.
We don't suppose any member of
that organization ever claimed that
this designation gave them any
superiority over their fellow organi-
nations, and have not heard of any
one before in the army or out of it,
who was disposed to question their
right to the use of o handsome ap.
pellation, given TO them by one of
the fortuitous and rare incidents of
the service.

Fish for the Million.

From the New York Commercial Advertiser
Every farmer-unless the number
of his acres be limited-ought to be
able to raise enough fish to supply
his own table. and we believe the
time is not distant when such will
be the case. Hundreds OF brooks
can be stocked with the finny tribe,
and fish ponds can be built and main.
tanned at comparatively small ex-
pense. Two years ago some gentle
man near Nashua, N H, united to.
gether for the purpose Of raising
trout. They constructed small and
adjoining ponds, and have now over
100000 trout. Recently they placed
q large number of eggs in the water
to increase their stock, which they
estimate will amount to more than a
million Of fish by another year.
Seth Green's disciples, wherever
found, have met with success, and
we are ofthe opinion that were par
ties anywhere within n radius OF if
ty miles of New York to raise fish
fer our markets they would find it a
most lucrative as well rs easy and
pleasant vocation.

How is It.

AT meeting of the American In.
stitute Farmers. Club in New York,
the question was raised as to the
prevalence Of fAgue in Iowa. In the
discussion of the question as publish
ed in the New York Semi.weekly
tribune Of the 18th, one Mr.. Meeker
is reported to have said. eyes, lots
"of Ague, but the land is rich, par.
"ticularly the Des Moines Valley
eff it was not for Ague, 1T would be
athe best country in the United
Estates" This isa very grave mis-
take, Mr.. Meeker, as to the Ague,
but q verify as to the balance. -
This gentleman did not of course de-
sign to misrepresent, but he must
have spoken hastily and without
proper data. He doubtless formed
his opinion from Information that
dates back not less than ten years.
Twenty years ago, in the early set
tlement Of this valley, Ague did pre-
vail, but never to the extent that it
did along the streams of the older
States east, where timber abouaded.
The disease continued to abate year
by year as the country became i'm

disappeared and in the last half of
this decade the cases ofAguc in the
Dcs Moines valley, or elsewhere IN
Iowu,rscept perhaps 10 tho sparsely
tew and far between.
The people OF the Des Moines Val.
ley to-day arc not afflicted with Ague
a tithe as much as those people who
reside in tho Scioto and Wabash val.
leys of Ohio aud Indiana We will
venture the assertion that very
little, if any moro Ague prevails in
the cast half of Iowa now, than there
dces in any State in The Union in tho
same latitude off the seaboard, while
consumption is almost unknown.
Mr.. NJ, is laboring under great
mistake, as also are the members OF
this Club generally, from appearance,
inasmuch asno protest was entered
against the views above stated, as
advanced by Mr. Mceker
Correct information, is certainly
much needed in that Club Upon this
subject.
