GROWING TIMBER.

Thus far in the history of Iowa,
very great mistakes have been made
in the kind and variety of trees set
out for timber. The cottonwood and
soft maple are of rapid growth, and
easily propagated, but they are of
second or third rate in usefulness, in
comparison with some other trees.
We trust that the time is not far dis.
tant when the agricultural nipple
ments needed for our State will be
manufactured here. 1t is well known
that for nearly all these the white
ash is used and preferred above all
other timber. No more profitable
tree can be planted. The seed can
be easily obtained, and after the first
few years of its growth, it is a rapid
grower. The white ash f,rests are
rapidly disappearing in all parts OF
the world, and its propagation is sad
ly neglected. No better time invest
ment could be made on our wide
prairies, than a grove OF white ash,
carefully tended for few years.
They can be started pretty thick,
and as they are of use as soon as
they are few inches in diameter,
they can then be thinned out. and in
a few more years are of inconceiva-
BILE value. 1t is a healthy tree, and
thrives well in our soil, and has no
enemies to iced upon its leaves or
wood. A thousand miles of freight
is paid on much of the timber that
now enters into our machines, and it
appears TO us that many OF our farm
ers who are putting out so literally
the soft maple, which is only fit for
wood, had better give place TO the
white ash, for one acre OF 1t will be
worth ten OF the former in twenty
five years. Ash grown in these
groves will be worth double the
brash kind obtained from the thick
forests. And the more rapid the
growth the better the timber, SO if
the groves be fertilized with suitable
stimulants to growth, sooner will be
ready for market, and the better the
quality.-RegtSter.

ga new party must be organized, +"
cay few ambitious gentlemen, "be-
cause the old parties are corrupt"
But where is the material of the new
party to come from? Plainly, the
pure element of the new party must
be got, if it is gotten at all, from the
corrupt element of the old parties.

can they be kept out Of office, or

done no quicker by a new party than
by the old, for the one is controlled
by the people as much us the other.

Gently bought new tangled har-
vesting machine, thinking he would
make quite saving in the matter of
wages during harvest. On the day
following his purchase, he sent his
eldest son out with the machine to
experiment upon the wheal crop. In
few hours afterwards, the old gent
moved upon the scene OF conflict,
and found his son upon the top of a
telegraph pole, over forty rods of
stone fence cut, bound and stacked,
in the most approved manner, while
in the distance the horses and inter
nal machine were seen making for a
grove of timber.

The Chicago Journal in speaking
of the tact that the population of
Iowa as shown by the recent State
census is fully a million and quar-
ter, declares itself ever ready to
avouch for our political soundness
and general progressiveness. l.
thinks that our population will exceed
1000, 900 in 1880, and adds "Iowa is
glorious State, full of good people,
literally dotted over with growing
towns, literally spread over with
constantly improving and develop
ing prairie farms and homes, and
whose progress in popular intelligence
keeps pace with her industrial ad-
vancement.

To show the futility of farmers as
class organizing as secret politi,
cal party, we said that according to
the recent United States Census the
total population of the United States
was 3s,55S,37l; and that by the
same Report all those engaged in
agriculture of both sexes from the
age of ten years and upwards was
$685., All, or about one-sev, nth.
And now comes the Iowa City Re
publican and don't see how a sensible
paper like the Cute City could make
SO absurd statement. And it goes
on to show things that are not at
issue at all and were not involved at
all in our statement. 1t asserts that
a much larger proportion of the pop
ulation than we named depend upon
agriculture for living. A most
learned conclusion; for everybody
in the United States depends upon
agriculture for a living. But we re-
ferred to an absurd prop osition made
in one or two quarters that none but
farmers should be elected to Office.
And we maintained and maintain
that according to the census that was
the attempt of FIVE million nine hun
dred thousand people to take control
of work that concerned over thirty
eight and one-half million people.
And in that FIVE million nine hundred
thousand people according to the
census. are included all the agricul
tural laborers, apiarists dairymen
and dairywomen, farm and planta-
ton overseers, farmers and planters,
florists, gardeners and nurserymen,
stock. growers, herders and drovers,
turpentine farmers and turpentine
laborers and vinegrowers-of both
sexes and above the age Of ten years
in the United States. Now, what is
the use of denying and quarreling
with that statement when it is true,
and the Census Report shows it to be
true, and when no amount of inter-
preting can make it different p Gate

AS cattle feeding is to be one of
the great industries of the country,
every item of experience is valuable.
J. Il. Rock, of Macoupin county, ILL.,,
writes to the Prairie Farmer, that
fifteen years experience in feeding
steers had convinced him that clean
husked corn and good hay are the
best food for tatting cattle he has yet
tried. He is now feeding one hun
dred three year olds in a barn built
for the purpose. From the 5th OF
October, 1872, last, until the LIST of
January, 1878, the average gain per
head 200 pounds.

The Strange HaIIucination Of a Young

The Strange HalIucination OF foung
Man Who Imagine He Sees His Dead
Bride.
The Davenport Qowa) Gazette
vouches for the absolute truth of the
following, though from obvious rea-
sons all names are suppressed: One
of the leading citizens of North Dav-
export had an only daughter who
was betrothed to young man of fair
promise, clerk in a leading COM
mercial house at Dubuque. a
His visits to that city were regular,
and arrangements had been made
tor an immediate union, when the
bride-elect was stricken down by
typhoid fever, and, in spite of all
which skill and care could do, died.
The Gazette reporter says: 'We saw
her in her coffin, dressed for the bri-
dial of death, not for the consumma
ton of all earthly love. We witness
ed the agony of her lover as he bent
in speechless, fearless abstraction
over the satin.lined burial case
