Hon. L. w. Claggett was the frs
President of the Iowa State Agricnl
tural Society, 1854. and J. NJ. Shat
fer, Secretary.
As early as 1854 there were hf'y
FIVE entries at the Iowa State Fair o.
thoroughbred cattle. In those day:
| Timothy Day was cattle king.
DIR. Noel, of Nashville, Tenn. is of
fered -, 1000 for his Fifth Duke o
Hillhurst, only six weeks old. Craig
of Canada. is the bidder.
In these DAYS of tramps, robberies'
and rapes il is good rule for the
people Of the rural districts to put nc
confidence in long haired men OF
short haired women.
The corn crop of Iowa fer 1874
was 10000, 900 bushels, worth $780,
OoO, 900. This is more than the es-
timated value of the entire corn crop
of the United States in 1910.
or the II oo0,o0 bushels OF corn
raised in Iowa last year, from the
railroad reports there was only D.
5..,3ls bushels shipped ont Of the
State. This is good showing for
home consumption.
MANY farmers will be compelled to
buy garden seeds next spring, fer the
reason care is not taken to save
seeds. which he knows are good and
reliable.
II is estimated that in fourteen
counties in Indiana the damage by
floods will reach the enormous ag-
gregate OF sl2, 100000 The loss in
Terre Hau,e Congressional District
is stated at $4,000, 600.
Those not wishing - sell their
wheat, and intending their straw for
winter feeding, should not thresh un-
I'll late in the fall, as the straw will
be better, and the wheat jnSt as
good If well stacked.
The prospects are good for a mar
ket for our present crops. But do
not be too greedy and hold TOO long,
especially ii your honor is pledged
or you are paying heavy Interest.
There has been enough Of the hu-
man race crippled BY reaper acct
dents. Now that the threshing ma
chine is starting for It's campaign. let
not only care be observed. but espee-
ially let all the rods and knuckles be
boxed according 10 law.
Don't complain Of taking stock
long distance to fairs. In la54,wh
Iowa had no railroads. and but poor
wagon roads, Hon. Tom. Mitchell. Of
Polk county. took stock all the way
to Fairfield 10 the State Fair, and
got the first premium.
Nr. Bunker, of Upton, Iowa, lately
sold three steers. three years old,
weighing jointly 500 pounds. or
averaging 2,223 pounds. They
brought at Chicago :! cents per
pound, or 1856 apiece. They we're
thoroughbred Short Horns.
In reference to the approaching
State Fair. the Secretary, in a private
note, says, The approaching Fair
promises to exceed the large exhibit
ton of last year With good wealth
er in our favor | have no doubt Of a
great success.
Onions may be harvested when the
majority of The tops fall over. Pull

before storing. Store in dry place
where there is free circulation ri
