When to Sell Grain.

A series of experiments, instituted
to test the average loss IN weight by
drying, show that corn loses one-6tth
and wheat fourteenth by the
process From this the statement
is made that farmers will make more
by selling unshelled corn in the fall
at seventy FIVE cents than the follow
ing summer at one dollar bushel,
and that wheat at 81. .33 in December
is equal to Sl.4l tor the same wheat
in the June following. This estimate
is made on the basis OF interest at sew
en- per cent, and takes no account Of
loss from the depredations Of vermin.
These facts are worthy Of considers.

THE PROMISES OF GREELEY,
HE 1sply 70 the Southern Democrats VIII
wlshsd 70 Ascertain who would Control
him.

The following is the letter Of Gen.
eral J. B. Gordon, of Georgia, giving
the result Of his interview with Mr..
Greeley in relation to the counsel
ors" by whom he would surround
himself IN case he were elected Pres.
ident:
ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 90, 1872.
Col. Charles 3. AeGreyor, Editor War
yenton Clipper
DEAR CoLoNxL:-You ours Of the 18th
instant reached This city during my
absence. Hence the delay in ans.
swering it. Your inquiry as to
whether the Democratic party can
expect any recognition from Horace
Greeley, its life long enemy, in case
of his election, is . most natural and
important one, and one which has
given me much concern. You ac-
company this inquiry with two re-
marks ~ ssr
The Albany (Ga.) Central city pub.
fishes the foregoing. and says: "As
Mr.. Greeley now publicly pledges
himself to give the Democratic party
an equal showing in his Cabinet. and
promises all that we could now rcas.
onably expect, we shall withdraw
our opposition"
First, that VOC had heard 1t claim.
ed that in . conversation with me
Mr.. Greeley had intimated that il
elected he would recognize in bis ap-
pointments the claims of the Demo.
cratic party upon him.
Secondly, that believing that the
contest IS now as to who shall con-
troll the President" you are under
the conviction that if it is made pub.
lie that the Democracy would have
prominence in that respect, or at
least an equal showing with the Re-
publicans, it would enable all
straight, outs to cease opposition
and rally to his support"
consider the unity OF Democrats
in Georgia of such overshadowine
consequence now that I give you, as
requested, the substance OF Mr.. Gree
leys remarks. with the hope that the
good results you anticipate may to
some extent be realized.
In company with several promin'
ent Southern gentlemen l met Mr.
Greeley. at the request o. Democrat
ic friends, and stated to him the tao;
that it was OF great moment to Dem
ocrats, and especially to the South
ern people, to know what class oI
councillors he would have about him
il elected. His reply was in effect
this: Il am given credit tor having
some common sense. I should moi
consider myself entitled to this cred
it il sheuld turn my back upon q
majority of the men who had elected
me- l can now see no objection tc
making tins public, as he has himself
in recent speech, given publicity te
the same idea. confess this conver
sation had considerable effect in al
laying my opposition to Mr.. Greeley
and 10 connection with other consld
eratione, which shall have the hon
or of submitting to your people in
speech which have agreed to make
on the first Tuesday in September
have declded me to give him my sup
port. Very respectfully yours.

Historical Legal Years.

The fact that down to 1852 the his.
torical year in England commenced
January l, while the civil, ecclssias-
tical and legal year began on the
25.h Of March, led to much confusion
in dates, as the legislature, the
church and civilians referred every
event which took place between Jan
nary ! and March 25 to a different
year from the historians. tsemarka.
BILE examples of such confusion are at.
forded BY two well-kLown events in
English history: Charles l. is said
by most authorities to have been be-
headed January 30, 164S, while 9th
ers with equal correctness says it was
January 80, 1649; and so the revolu-
tion which drove James II. from the
throne ia said by some to have taken
place in February, 1888, and by 9th
ers in February, 1850. Now these
discrepancies arise from some using
the civil and legal and others the his
torical year, though both would have
assigned any event occurring after
the 25th of March to the same years,
viz: l646 and 1859. To avoid as
Tar as possible mistakce from these
two modes of reckoning it was usual,
rs often seen in old hooks or manu-
scripts, to add the historical to the
legal date, when speaking OF any day
between January / and March 25
thus:
9 )i G. the historical year.
or thus. January 30, l6ls'9
This practice, common as it haf
long been, is nevertheless often mis-
understood, and even intelligent per
sons arc sometimes perplcxed by
dates SO written. Tho explanation
however, Is very simple, for the low
er or .last figure always indicates the
year according to our present calcu
latiOn.

Our State, from the advanced po-
eition it haa taken in according to
woman some OF the sovereign rights
hitherto exclusively appropriated by
man, is getting the praise of the pro-
gressive in all directions. It was in
Iowa that woman held tho first elect.
i've Office in this country-womsn
having here. some three years ago,
been declared eligible to the Office of
County Superintendent. AT the pres
ent time, we believe, there are FIVE
ladies in this State filling this Office
in their respective counties. It was
in this State, too that . woman was
first appointed - Notary Public;
now we have seen four or five Iowa
ladies in Notarial positions. Our
appointing power no longer asks
whether the applicant wears breech-
cs it makes its appointments more
with reference to brains and capacity
than to wearing apparel or sex.
That the ancient distinction no long.
er exists has also been made manifest
in the selection Of women together
with men on different State Com.
missions, such for instance, as the
board Of trustees Of the new Insane
Asylum, composed of seven persons,
one OF whom il lady. Ofthe three
persons on the committee under the
new law for the protection OF inmates
and the inspection ofinsane asylums,
one Is . lady.
The wisdom Of constituting these
commissions for the insane in this
manner Is apparent when it IS re-
membercd that at least half of the
inmates of insane asylums are
women. We have seen, recently, q
further suggestion IN this direction
proposition that one OF the assistant
physicians at the new asylum at In.
dependence shall be woman. there
are plenty Of female physicians in
every respect competent. We should
like to see not only . woman chosen
as one Of the assistant physicians at
the new asylum. but also one chosen
tor the same position at the old asy-
lum at Mt. Pleasant. Indeed in all
public asylums, where there are two
or more physicians appointed. and
where the inmates are halt of them OF
the female sex. there might well be
one woman physician. We hope
public sentiment will get back Of this
proposition, and force it forward to
Endorsement and adoption.
We are OF those who find gratifi-
cation in Iowa's recognition OF tho
capacity OF womankind. So far,
wherever she has been tried in our
State, woman has proved herself
worthy of official responsibility. In
several OF the leading professions we
have women who have demonstrated
fair and some OF them superior ca
pacity. We have women in our
! journalism who are second to none OF
Tour writing editors. We also have

Charcoal for Sick Cattle.

The Country Gentleman says: Nearly
all cattle become sick from improper eating.
In nine cases out of ten, the digestion is
wrong. Charcoal is the most efficient and
rapid corrective. 1t will cure in a majority
of cases, if properly administered. An ex-
ample of its use-the hired man came in
with the intelligence that one of the finest
cows was very sick, and kind neighbor
proposed the usual drugs and poisons.
The owner being i'll, and unable TO exam
inc the COW, concluded that the trouble
came from some overeating, and ordered q
tea-cup of pulverized charcoal given in wa
ter. 1t was mixed, placed in ajunk bottle
the head held upward, and the water with
its charcoal poured downward. In FIVE
minutes an improvement was visible, and
in few hours the animal was in the pas
ture quietly eating grass. Another in
stance of equal success occurred with q
young heifer which became badly bloated
by eating green apples after hard wind.
The bloat was so severe that the sides
were as hard as barrel. The old remedy,
saleratus, was tried for the purpose of cor
recting the acidity. But the attempt to
put it down always caused coughing, and
it did little good. Half teacupful of
fresh powdered charcoal was next given.
In six hours all appearance of blcat had
gone, and the heifer was well.

Franklin md His Pnncr.

Soon after his establishment in Philadel-

LEGATION in his newspaper. Being very
busy, he begged the gentleman would leave
it for consideration. The next day the
author called, and asked his opinion of it.
why, sir, replied Franklin, Il am sorry
to say think it highly scurrilous and de-
famatory. But being at a loss, on account

Cruelty to Children.

There Is now protest from Washington
against the imposition of too much work
on children in the public schools. A faith
er complains that the teachers arc sacrifc-
ing everything to the success in "spelling
matches of the pupils. One of them has
custom of calling up her pupils, without
regard to age or capacity, to write out
long long lists of words, and every word
misspoDed they are required to write twen-
tv-fye times afte school hours Under
this system his own little girl, some eight
years old, had to write six hundred words
one night, and another, about the same age,
had to write one thousand. 1r would be a
small matter, of course, for ready pen
man to write thousand words, but for a
child eight years old, who cannot form the
letters EXCEPT with slowness and painstak-
ing effo-., It is wearisome and cruel
task. This ambition cfseaohers Is frequent
