4 Few Needed Small Things,

There are a great many farms that
are supplied with the best Of all kinds
OF large field implements, such as
r,apers and mowers, horse-rases,
h e-pitchforks, hay-loaders, gang
and single plows, cultivators, plan
tiers, harrows, markers. and SO on
through the list. but vet YOU cannot
find about hem many little consen-
fences, triiiing so far as cost is con-
csrned. that save time and labor. aud
do away with many Of the vcxations
that heset the craft. How many farms
arc well supplied with ladders for
fruit picking. mounting the house or
barn. or with step ladders for inside
use? The garden, or even the orai-
nary wheclbarrow is not found with
any great frequency yet their exceed
inely convenient At most all seasons
Of the year.
The wagon jack is another Little
thing that finds a welcome place in
the considerate farmers hands. The
farm scale should not be forgotten.
neither should a small kit of carpen-
ter's tools, including plane or two.
saws, chisels, etc. We only enumer-
ate few Of the many little articles
of tools not often found but ALWAYS
needed. and all upon our readers TO
fiji out the list with all the smaller
conveniences that they have invented
or whose usefulness has been prosen
by others.
Another thing, when purchasing
these things, always yet the best
they may cos, little more than re-
pays. When got, beware Of the bor-
rover Choose your customers in this
respect.

fat steer, from which large part of
the real wealth OF Iowa is derived, why
does not this animal take more
prominent position at our fairs, in
our periodicals, and on our fancy

while there are hundreds Of the lat

late State Fair. They we're noble
specimens, but why so few, and why
do they occupy SO diminutive posi-,

which the animal OF utility is pro.

Mexico, it is rumored, is willing to
dispose of a piece of territory on the
Mexican side of the Rio Grande,
running back from the river to the
mountains. This territory has been
the stamping ground Of Mexican rob-

ranchmen rather than cultivate soil
on their own account, and the Mexi
