FAT CATTLE.-As the question of pure
blood, good handling, and the points of a
good ANIMAL all finally eliminate IN the fat
steer, from which "a large part of the real
wealth ui Iowa is derived, why does not this
animal take more prominent position at
our fairs, in our periodicals, and on our fan
cy farms. Fat cows and noble bulls have
their places and rightly, but while there are
hundreds of the latter on exhibition the fat
steer is seldom seen. There were two at our
late State Fair. They were noble specimens,
bat why so few, and why do they occupy so
dimInutive Il position on our list of prizes
The cows and the bulls are only the means
by which the animal Of utility is produced.
Why is the animal neglected which fills our
pockets, and whose JUICY steaks maketh richer
than the wine of the valleys of Burgundy
If they cannot have "A more prominent place
at our county fairs, there should be a fat cat
tie show of itself. 1t would tend greatly to
induce our people TO put their corn and grass
in shape which will command better
price than in any other form. Fat cattle are
not the farmers character for bank, but
they are the cash in the vaults. They are
not what the agriculturists expects at some
future day, but they are the present realiza
ton of his hopes and labor. They are not

ROTATION ESSENTIAL IN HORTICULTURE.
1t is quite as essential that trees and shrubs
should be allowed to rotate rs annual farm
crops We should, if possible, not renew
old orchards on the same ground, as Is the
general custom. 1t is probable that the dy-
ing out of old apple trees indicates to de-
gree of weakness of the soil for their recup-
Grafton Food can be to an extent supplied,
but no amount of stimulus gives health. 1t
may arrest decay for time. Strawberries
and raspberries in like manner give little
satisfaction without the principle OF rotation
IN the fruit garden Nature is very particu.
lar in carrying out this principle OF rotation.
Destroy q side hill of baCkberries, and you
may expect patch of raspberries or straw,
berries A close watch of wild grasses proves
proves the same to be true of them. Weeds
march over the country in platoons-one
kind departing before strange successor.
In the same way insects are never stationary,
but move eastward or westward by yearly
marches. Precisely the same has been true
of human races Nature certainly has been
very positive in enforcing rotation OF
plants. Burn beech forest, and IN oak or
hemleck grove springs up. We have learn
ed to consider this law in farming, hut it is
quite as essential in horticulture.

Political Question:, Affecting the Farmer.

Although your columns are devoted prin-
cipally to the development, of agriculture,
vet it may not be entirely out of order to offer
a few suggestions in reference to political
matters, where they effect the tliers OF the
soil noticed strong combinations formed
by various parties to protect their individual
trades or occupations; resolutions passed Tor
their defense (y), as it appears to them: bui
which is really to give them their relation TO
consumers. Among them may be mentioned
the sheep growers of Missouri, etc; the luin.
bcr'dealers of our Northwestern States, and
the iron manufacturers of the East The
acts of each and ali of these majestic com
panies tend to produce hard times and great
deprivatiOns among those who live by honesty
and industry. The Reciprocity Treaty, now
pending between this country and Canada,
if carried into proper effect Will be OF great
benefit to those in the Western States who
are ill.prOvided with many comforts enjoyed
by our Eastern cousins The convenient
barn found upon nearly every Eastern farm
should take the place Of the rudely construct.

the present facilities, it is considered losing
trade to pay SIS for q male hog, and from
500 to s., 900 for bull. II we were able to
erect suitable protection for our stock, there
would not be so many car loads of corn, OATS
etc, finding an Eastern market. So much for
the lumber question. AS to the wool 1t is
true that some farmers keep few sheep, but
not majority of them. All we need to open
our eyes to the question is an examination of
the shelves of our dry goods stores, and u
comparison of the prices and qualities with
Canadian manufacture, and we will at once
discover that a removal of the duties will fur
nlsh better articles at greatly reduced prices
Iron: Why protect this? To erect foundries,
etc, in our own country Very good, Mr..
Smith, with your pockets lined with money,
got not by honest toll, but by the prevention
of competition by The overthronged popula
ton of Europe. We need machinery upon
our farms to save manual labor, our wiz 8
need the speedy aid of the sewing machine,
etc, that they may have little time for the
improvement of their minds, and little re-
spite from the never ending household tasks
Our legislation should be to procure the
greatest good to the greatest number, and not
to uphold few purseproud monopolies to
the deprivation of the majority, who live by
honest toll and fair won merit These things
will eventually enter our political campaigns,
so let us watch and cast the little but power

When farmer is planting shade'trees
around his house, he might rs well plant
walnut, chestnut, and hickory trees for beau
~ as any others, and have all the nuts they
produce besides. There are no finer trees
than these except where evergreens are pre-
ferred. 1t is commonly said that nut trees
grow best from seed, and do not bear trans
planting well. 1t might, therefore, be best to
fence in a strip of land on the windy side OF
the house, and after preparing II well, plant
it with nuts of the kind wanted. An hour ol
two would suffice at any to clear it of weeds
and as the trees grew, the poorest might b,
cut down, only leaving sufficient number o
the best to form grove. This would be
thing of beauty, and also of great utility, fol
MANY generations. The fence would. how
ever. have TO be kept in good repair till til,
trees attained a good size. The boys nigh
be entrusted with this matter.

The best soil for wheat is rich clay loan
Wheat likes a good, deep soft bed
Glover turned under makes just such a bed
The best seed is plump, heavy oily and

About two inches is the depth for sowing the
seed
The drill puts in the seed better and cheaper

From the middle Of September to the last
OF October is the best time for sowing.

good.
