/ lie up new grape vines IS last -
they grow. One vine only the 6rst
year, but keep it running up.
Lightning killed nineteen steers ct
one flash, belonging to Mr.. Shower, Of
Greene county, on the 7th inst.
Innoculating can now be done, and
it is so simple process Of improving
orchard and vineyard that any man
could be an adept at it.
Much of the clover will be ready
to cut the last of this month. Cut 30
soon as the larger proportion is in
blossom. Cure principally in cock,
but see that it is thoroughly cured.
The State Grange agent for Indi-
ana has sold to the Patrons Of that
State in the last six months 994
Whitney sewing machines, amounting

One Of the writer's under the head

the Texas Pacific Railroad.
Mr.. johnson, who is reported to
have shipped the best steers from
Marshall county by one hundred
pounds, favors feeding grain whole
to cattle, where they can be followed
by hogs.
1t is generally conceded that the
Republican and Democratic parties
this year viii ignore the Grange in
terest and nominate a railroad man
for Governor. Let the Patrons At
tend to their own interests.
The advice comes to US from ".
rious sources to use salt as protection
against cut worms, white grubs, &c.
But the salt must not be put on the
plant, but around and little distance
from it.
One hundred and ten dollars WAS
paid out of the National Grange
treasury for daily newspapers bought
by the members of the Grange while
in Charleston. Private members Of
the Order have to pay for their own
papers.
Bro J. S. Frew, State Agent for
Illinois T. H., says that wagons, bug
gies, spring wagons, plows and culti-
vators, are offered to the Order there
By the Musca.ine, Iowa, P. Of H.
manufacturing company at lower than
their lowest quotations.
The New York World, in speaking
of newspaper organs, says: "In the
first place, no such paper can pre-
serve its independence, but must vi
timately degenerate into the servile
spologists for the errors ofits owners,
or the extreme advocate of their re-
tention in places of profit or power.
/ Messrs. Mccarthy & Err, Of Ames,
Iowa, went to France about the first
Of April, and bought nine Norman
stations, one of which died out at

They are highly spoken Of by the
Ames Iatelliyencer.
Prof. Bessey must be mistaken in
supposing pine leaves remain on the
tree "for several years" We live in
pine grove, and, have watched the
annual shedding Of leaves elsewhere,
and they fall invariably the second
year. There are several varieties Of
the pinus family, but we refer to
what the world calls pine.
Tn conversion last week with q cit
izen of Illinois, heavy stock dealer
and an extensive traveller, he said in
referring to the large purchases of
Short Horns and fine horses for Iowa,
that in less than twenty years Iowa
would exceed any other section
of the world for true agricultural
wealth, and that it has more true ell
ments naturally to make it such.
Warren county, among the first
counties for fine stock and fat hogs,
still ships corn in the raw state. The
Tribune says the shipments OF loaded
cars from lndianola for the month of
May were as follows: Cattle, 104;
hogs, 81; corn, As; wheat, %; oats,
/; total, 225 cars. This is most
excellent showing and one which
shows the resources of Warren coun-
ty and proves its value as an sgricul-
tural county.
The Cedar Falls Gazette chronicles
the arrival in that city of "the blood
ed Short Horn Young Duke ship
ped from England by Messrs Fields,
and may be seen at their stable in
this place. He is Of the same line of
the Duke and Duchess stock, being
in the same line of stock with the
Duchess COW, which sold in New
York for $40, 900, year since. This
is move of no ordinary Importance
to the stock raisers of this vicinity"
T. r. Allen, Master Of the State
Grange of Missouri, says if the Vest
erm Rural, Prairie Farmer, Far
naer's Union, Western Farm Journal,
Iowa State Register, Cedar Falls Ga
zette, Cedar Falls Recorder and New
York Tribune continue ssto admit
such stuff" about the Patrons, the
order should give such papers . wide
berth. He would propably want tho
Patrons to patronize "organ" papers
which endorse everything done or
said by the patriarchs whether right
or wrong. Organs have no opinions
of their own, and their readers live
in ignorance, which is seldom bliss.
The money is not all going out Of
the State to buy Short Horn cattle
and Norman horses. We can scarce
ly open an exchange paper Of Iowa,
