What Is the Most Valuable Metal F.?

The so-called noble metals are
usually considered the most valuable;
but if we consider that the true value
of a thing does not depend on its mere
appearance, but on its usefulness to
mankind, it is evident that neither
gold, silver, nor any Of the other rare
and expensive metals deserve to be
considered the most valuable, but that
the credit of superior usefulness over
any other metal must be awarded to
iron. bHe iHafsg zifrg 50
The charming fiction called the
"History of Robinson Crusoe," con-
tains an incident illustrating this. 1t
records thatwhen the hero of the story
found a lump of gold, he exclaimed
with disdain that handful of iron
nails would be worth more to him;
and the fact that the value of thing
must fluctuate in proportion to the
necessities of the individual, is illus
trated by the well-known story Of
the famishing traveller, lost in an At
rican desert, who found a bag, which
he eagerly pickedup, supposing it con-
tanned nuts, but when he looked inside,
saw that they were only pearls and
diamonds, he sank down in despair.
In civilized and well organized soci-
ETY. there is never want Of food. The
famines of which we read in history,
and which nowadays occasionally
ravish semi-civlized and barbarOus
countries, are, thanks to our progress
and practical science, unknown among
us We have not only the food, the
fuel and material for clothing which is
needed, but all the metals useful in
the arts; and among these iron stands
foremost No golden or silver rail-
roads, steam-engines, etc., would be so
efficient as those made of that abund-
ant and therefore cheap metal, iron,
which unites with its remarkable
9 property of malleability, high melting
power, ETC., the interesting property Of
being capable of having all these pro-
perties increased or decreased by diff
ferent treatment, so as to be almost a
different metal. Who Is not struck
with the difference between common
cat-iron, wrought-iron, Bessemer-
steel, cast-steel, cement-steel, and that
extremely hard variety of cast-iron
which the Germans call Spicgel from
and is made. from the Franklite ore
They all behave, to all practical intents
and purposes, as totally different
metals. E -
The late eloquent Edward Everett
brought the usefulness and superior
value of iron forcibly out in one of his
public speeches, inwhich he compared
the most useful of all metals with the
most useful of all classes of society
the laboring class, the toilers, to whose
hands we are indebted for everything
that has value. His words were re-
ported thus: 30 :.

The Forests of Germany.

In SaXony there are very few forests.
Often for miles not tree can be seen save
the fruit trees that skirt the highways
but in Northern Germany there are more
forests. They are mostly of modern
growth having been planted and carefully
cultivated The general growth is pine
Adjoining almost every village in North
Germany IL a small piece of woods, which
is guarded and protected with the greatest
care. The trees are planted In rows
When they are young they are used for
various purposes but no one ia allowed to
cut one except the man who has charge Of
the forest. When tree is cut down the
price Is liked, and money paid To the forest
man. At the end Of the year the forest
man makes his report, and the money is
divided among those villagers owning the
forest, as the wood is held in common.
The house in the village either does or
does not have the right II common a.
tached 70 i. One SEES every state of
growth in these forests, from the little
pines one foot high to the trees Of hund-
red years. They ascend like stair steps
from one height to the other, and thus
show what care these people are taking,
not only To secure to themselves the
hcCcssary NOpu Tor building and furn1-
ture, but to leave the coming generation a
forest which like themselves il growing up
to maturity. Nothing but this wise fore
sight and care has prevented Germany
from being entirely without wood Many
Of the wooden toys, and, indeed, almost
all we buv la America, are not only made
here in the Saxon Alps, but the very wood
out Of which they are made has been culti-
waited, and the tree, before il il hewn down
and made into toys, has been the care and
attention Of several generations that have
passed forever from ear5hly scenes.
1t Is very seldom that wood is used for
fuel. The houses o. the peasants are very
warm, and do not require the same amount
of fuel that ours do. / have not seen a
fireplace or CRATE in Germany. The
stoves are mostly made of brick, and when
heated in the morning they keep the room
warm all day. In North Germany the
usual fuel is peat, which burns well. aud
makes far better fire than We in America
think. This fuel is very cheap, four or
five goshens buying enough to last all
day.

SCIENTIFIC ECONOMY 1t is said to be
real economy to use entirely fresh wicki
in kerosene and oil lamps very often for
with the best of care the wick becomes
clogged and poor conductor after few
usings. and much more of the fluid is ex-
hausted in producing the requisite amount
of light than if the conductor had been
wholly renewed.
EXTERNAL ALCOHOLISM. Mistaken ex-
tremists in the matter of Temperance
are being continually confronted by new
proofs Of theeunquestionable medical value
of alcohol. One of the latest professional
writers on the subject says that if, in case
of wounds or burns the part affected be
immersed in alcohol. the pain Immediately
ceases and the subsequent cure in greatly
accelerated.
OLD PRoGABILITIEs.-By eternal law

top, will mount TO the surface when the

Where Shall We Go TO Better Our.
selvawf

Again and again have We been asked
this question: question that we know il
one OF the deepest solicitude to ever
thoughtful man for the selection of home
u often the most important event Of life
time. success attending him from thls start
ing point, as good or bad judgment may be
exercised in the selection. That we might
lntelligently and satisfactorily answer this
question we have thoroughly investigated
the advantages OF location presented b.
the various Railroad Land Companies OF
the West, and the result is our hearty
recommendation Of the middle region Of
Western Iowa and the domain of the
Iowa Railroad Land Company therein as
the most desirable that Ia now remaining
for settlement and occupation. Among
the advantages presented are the low
prices of the lands and liberal terms of
payment, the reader market facilities and
cheaper transportation as compared with
the farming country farther west-the
fine educational and church privileges,
with none of the hazards and hardships of
frontier life the excellent soil and
healthful climate the pure abundant
streams of water; the prosperous and
contented people already established, with
the high reputation Of this company for
responsibility and fair dealing-these are
deservedly the attractions that are effect
ing such successful results in peopling this
region so rapidly, and induce us to com
mend it to all patrons of ours who are IN
quiring-"where they shall 90 to better
themselves" Having said 90 much in its
favor. we are led to add something by way
of more particular description Of the
country-how it can be reached, and the
terms offered to settlers for the benefit Of
those of our readers who may desire to
select one Of these homes near home.
The lands for sale by the Iowa Railroad
Land Company are exclusively those
granted to build the Iowa line of the
Chicago and Northwestern Railway, which
passes through the center of Iowa from
Clinton to Council Bluffs and Sioux City
line Of the Illinois Central Railway, run
ming from Dubuque directly west, all ly-
ing adjacent to these thoroughfares, mostly
In the middle regions Of Western Iowa, and
comprising over n .l.lOn and half acres
in the counties of Greene Carroll, Craw-
ford, Harrison, Monroe, Webster, Cal
houn, Sac, Ida, Woodbury., Baena Vista,
Cherokee, Plymouth, O'Brien and Sioux
On the G. & n. W. Railway line the
grants to the Company embrace both the
even and odd numbered sections by which
solId bodies Of lands can be had BY stock
ralsers, large farmers or cOlonists to any
desired extent an advantage that no
other Land Grant Company in the coun-
try can offer All the Companys lands,
however, are for sale in tracts of 40 acres
or more as may be wanted by the pur-
chaser, and the same terms and prices are
made to the farmer Of 30 acres as to one
desiring 5000. The map below shows the
relative location Of these lands and the
Railway lines traversing them.

cate our principles or give an impair
tiaI report Of industrial pursuits.
That cheap leaflets or tractS be
multiplied, setting forth the more promi-
nent and important principles Of the con-
federation, and recommending temper
ance, frugahty and economy. Also, that
it be recommended to patronize those
reliable merchants and grocers, who will
favor the workiDgmen and women in the
necessaries of life. And that every mem
ber of all industrial associations, who are
citizens, withhold their suffrages from
every man, irrespective Of party, who is
either deficient in moral honesty, opposed
to the elevation Of the working-clssses, or
who is in favor Of those principles or
measures which oppress the producers of
wealth. Further to recommend, while it
has its own bylaws and regulations, not
contravening general principles or welfare,
that each organization endeavor to increase
by all honorable means, the number of
trusty, candid, efficient members Of good
character, that fees for charters and initia-
ton be reduced, wherever practicable,
without destroying efficiency
To promote cooperation further, it is
suggested to the Senate, to recommend
the appointment of a committee Zone from

demonstrated in the higher prices whicl

west Of the Missouri.
AoKfcULTURAL PRODUCTIONS.
In no part OF the country do the plant
ing, eultivating and harvesting machine,
hnd o more general use and il ia to these
lAbor-ssving appliances that the rapid
development of the resources of the
praires OF Iowa il mainly due.

leads all the States. The agricultural re-.
ports for 1872 give the average from 80 to
20 bushels per acre, while many fields pro-
duced los bushels.
Wheot.-The soil furnishes q congenial
growth TO this cereal which yields with
more certainty and abundance than in any
other part of the country, and from this
region the general average last season ex-
ceeded twenty-five bushels per acre
Data, barley, rye, and fax, in fact every
thing that produces well in good soil,
yields abundantly here. Potatoes yield
enOrmOusly-over FIVE hundred bushels
being frequently dug from single acre.
CATTLE RAISING.
This branch of agricultural industry ia
becoming one Of the most extensive and
profitable in the State. The fertile
pralries, covered with the most nutricious
grasses, afford q range Of pasturage un-
surpassed in excellence or extent The
grass known an the blue joint, equally ne
good a. the cultivated varieties, grows with
great luxuriance in the valley bottoms.
and can be had in an unlimited quantity
for merely the expense of cutting and
curing. The fine pasturage and good water,
which 50 generally prevails, give to dairy
products uniform excellence, equalling
an quality those Of the Wsstevn Reserve.
FRUITS.
Apples, plnms, grapes, and the many va
rieties of berries, are natives Of the soil,
and the cultivated varieties yield with
great thrift. The first premium for the
best and largest varieties Of apples at the
late National exhibition at Richmond, Va,
was obtained for the products Of Iowa.
HOW TO REACH THESE LANDS.
The passenger fare to Chicago, from
any railroad station in the United States
or Canad: can be ascertained at almost
any local ticket office.
At the Office of this Company, in Chicago
or in Cedar Rapids, land exploring tickets
are sold, good on all frst-class passenger
trains Of the Chicago and North western OF
Illinois Central Railways, with the privilege
of stopping over at intermediate stations
within the land district. The amount paid
for an exploring ticket will be allowed the
purchaser of 30 acres on his first payment,
(or half the amount on 40 acres, thus, in
fact, giving to every settler q free pass to
his land.

principal stations to show these lands, and

Bustard's Imp. vement on Coke Ovens

Mr.. j. Bustard, Of Barnsley, has lately
built for the Dodworth Silkstone Coal Co
a number of coke ovens on an improved
system, which, after thorough tests, have
been found to work will. The system is a
very simple one, and the cost OF the ovens
no greater than those of the ordinary pat
tern. The ovens are built in two rows,
back to back, with fiue running between
them, each having an aperture cOmmuni-
eating with this fue. but 50 arranged as
to be opened or closed as required by
means of damper, The heated gases
from the ovens passes along the fiue to
boilers or pipes containing water, so that
steam is raised to supply the engines either
at the pit or or any place near to the ovens
But when the heated gases are not required
they pass directly to the chimney shaft by
using dampers at the end Of the fine. The
result of constructing the ovens in such a
manner il to produce q quick draft in the
fue and complete combustion in the ovens,
so that, the gases being drawn off quickly,
the coke is improved in quality and in
creased in quantity. A considerable i'm
provement has also been effected by Mr..
Bustard with regard to the charging of the
ovens by means of a tramway over them.
The cars with the coal pass along the tram
way, and there being an opening in the
ovens between the rails, the coal is tilted
from the cars into the ovens The drawing
of the coke is done most effectually and
quickly. For that purpose a rake with
teeth projecting upward is placed on the
floor of the oven, being covered with a
sufficient coating Of clay to protect it from
the fire, and when the coke is made and
the gasses drawn off the doors are opened,
and the rake being attached by chain to
o windlss the coke is pulled out by the en-
gine in q solid mass whilst hot BY taking
the coke out hot, time is saved by not
having to cool it whilst in the ovens, whilst
the latter can be recharged before they
have had time to become cold.-LOndoa
