That the State shall provide suitable
rooms, which shall be provided with
newspapers, periodicals, school and
miscellaneous books, and a competent
teacher. Then. let tho privileges of
this room, under proper regulations,
after the hours Of labor, he extended
to such convicts as conduct them
selves in deserving manner. In
our opinion a large majority would
avail themselves OF such privilege,
and the disipline of the prison would
not only be improved. but large mum.
bers OF the inmates ofthat institution
would be returned to society CON.
plctely and thoroughly reformed.
To scores it would furnish better
improvement than all their previous
lives had afforded; in fact many OF
the convicts who did not know their
letters when they were incarcerated,
have in the brief time allowed in the
Sabbath. school, learned to read quite
well. In our judgment any convict
who desires to study any of the
branches taughtin our public schools.

books and competent teacher, pro-

There is q constant advance in the
direction of ameliorat,ng the harsh

has been attended with good results.

it is notorious that comparatively few

study to this great problem, have
universally inclined to the side OF hu
manity-have urged that, however
vicious and dangerous the inmates Of
our prisons are, they should still be
treated like men. The subject is one
on which much might be written, but
we leave it for the present, hoping
that the State of Iowa will at the
next session OF our Legislature lead
off in the direction Of supplying the

said to do excellently IN this county,

Iowa Fruit Crop.

In no one thing has Iowa been
making more rapid progress in the
last few Yeas than in fruit raising.
For a long time the cry Of the croak-
ers and boobies that fruit could MT
be raised in Iowa, kept orchard
planting back, and forced public sen
timent TO coincide with the absurd
and groundlcss opinion. But the
boundless generosity Of our sol.
would not permit tho false notion to
take permanent root. Whenever an
apple-tree native TO the latitude
could get a chance it would bear
iruit-despite encouragement aud
neglect. The good people who had
come from the warmer lands, were
determined to have just the same
fruit their fathers had had, and so
brought their tender trees along
with them. Not being suited to the
climate of course they were killed.
But Nature. always kind, even to
winners and grumblers, by grace OF
patient effort has finally forced our
people to see that they are possessed
Of q soil and climate susceptible OF
raising all kinds OF fruit, and Of rails
ing as many and as good apples as
any other State in the Union. So
kind was the overwhelming power
that it would not let us be fools, aud
cruel to ourselves, even when we in.
sist on beng.
The rapid progress Of Iowa in this
respect is we'll illustrated by the
statistics furnished by the State.

wrinkle IN fencing. lie takes an oh

in each end, at right angles to each

two holes bearing like relations to

through the other hole runs the wire
of which he makes his fence. When
the tree has grown 40 as to threaten
to overgrow the screw he draws the
screw out Of danger, SO continuing,
no matter how large the tree may
