Profits Of Farming.

y great deal has been said and writ
ten Of late years, rs to the profit OF
loss of farming. On one side it is con-
tended that handsome profit can be
realized, on the other, that nothing
but bare living can be made. Now,
both may be right in certain sense,
and both wrong. The difference
seems to lie l. the fact that each per-
son looks through separate medium
and draws his conclusions accordingly.
1t is natural to make differences from
ones own management, and for this
reason we see such a variety of opin-
ions in the agricultural discussions Of
the day. To our mind it is as clear as
the MONDAY sun, that no business is
more profitable in the long run than
farming. We all remember that a
few years agO--say just after lS57-all
that the farmers could do was to pay
taxes and support the family-and
come out almost behind at the end of
the year-in most cases. Then wheat
was worth 10 cents per bushel, butter
3 to cents per pound. cats 10 cents
per bushel, and eggs three cents per
dozen. But with few exceptions these
same farmers Of the good old terrific
rial days have become we'll off. Farm
products Of every variety has ruled
high, considering all matters, ever
since the second year of the war, and
some Of them claim that when
produce is high, the cost of production
is prop0rtionally increased, and when
it is low it will not pay to raise it.
However, farmers will grumble. One
thing we notice too, they have as we
stated befOre-gOt rich.
It is often said that farmers are not
as industrious now as they were forty
or fifty years ago. We are not will
ling to assent TO the assertion. Then
the expense in the family was not
half what it is how. 1t is true good
management and system are necessary
to success. The old skinning and eX-
hausting process has run the gauntlet.
OF course, if farmers intend to make
money, they must keep up with the
times, study their business. abandon
old sayings, oil maNims, old tools, and
they are bound 10 come out all right.

Farmers as Manufacturers, de.

In one sense the farmer is a manu-
facturer. He changes his grass and
corn into beef, pork, wool, butter,
cheese and variety of products. In
another sense he is chemist; he so
compounds manure with his soil as to
make available plant food. He should
be an artist, so rs to be able to pro-
duce beautiful groves, orchards and
lawns. He is a merchant because he
sells the product of his farm to feed
the world, and yet he receives less
money than any one of the single
barnches Of industry named as a re-
ward for his services and employed
capital. How necessary then that he
should make the most out of the soil
he cultiyates. In order to do that
his land must be in good order.

self, too, had cOunteuanced the report
to the extent of going to church with
Hicks and appearing in his company
at places of popular resort. But on
the day before that appointed for the
marriage Miss Ida was not to be found.
The same day Frank SlOcum, the day
fireman Of the engine at the Flushing
waterWorkS, was not at his post. Sub
seQuent Investigation showed that
Miss Ida had followed Hicks to the
gate as he left the house the evening
before, and, instead Of returning, flew
to the eXpectant arms Of SlOcum, who
StraightWay took her to his parent S
house in Jersey City where they were
married. Thursday morning the en-

Ncrino Sheen.

Abel Wilson of Bloomington, Henne
pin Co., in this State, sheared this sea-
son 100 pound of washed wool from
eight yearling bucks. He also OBJ
tanned 100 pounds Of washed wool from
ten yearling ewes. From some of his
aged bucks he had all the way from
eighteen to thirty pounds per head.
Mr.. Wilson was successful in wool
growing in Vermont. In this State,
he has demonstrated that there is no
one thing that pays on the farm better
than the sheepfold. We are pleased
to learn that his experience is in favor
of the finer wool rather than that of
the cOarser varieties.

ADDlps in Minnesota

Peter NJ. Gidlon of Excelsior has har-
vested this season about 800 bushels of
apples, mostly of the variety
known as the Duchess Of Oldenburgh,
though he must have quite large guam
titles of the Wealthy, the Blue Pear
Main, the SaXton or fall stripe and
one Or two other varieties. The
Wealthy is an apple of much merit,
and originated with Mr.. Gidlon. but
we do lot hear that this variety of
Standard fruit has come into gener-
al bearing throughout the State. Yet
it will undoubtedly be the coming
apple III the more northern parts of
Minnesota. In the more southern sec.
lions of the State, there are not as
many difficulties to contend with in
raising apples as north of latitude 45,
but we expect the Wealthy is proof
against the froSts of winter and heat
of Summer.

How Did the Name Iowa" Originate.


Various definitions are given to the
term 'IoWa." Some have defined it
rs The beautiful land - others,
This is the Place Various Indian
traditions are given respecting its ORR
gin. One is, that a party of Indians
left their parents on the shore Of Lake
Superior during a snOW-StoTm, and the
snow falling on the sand gave gray
appearance from which circumstance
they were called the Py-hO-j jas, or
Gray Shows. They came westward
to the land of the Omahas, and. by the
latter the term was corrupted to Py-lo-
ii. thence to kiowa.
Another Tradition is, that the Sau-
kies, OF Sdcs. and Foxes, with Black
Hawk, We're travelling westward for
home and, when they reached the
Mis-sis-sppo, (AIis SSH, grass Mis-sis-
ke-wdw-kuk. meadow; sepe, river),
they exclaimed: Iowa - ('.This is
the place J. This is the Interpretation.
given by Antoine LIE Claire, who was
many years identified with the Saukies
and Foxes, and COnyersant with their
traditions.
Still another tradition is, that eight
families left the Saukies on Rock Riv-
CT, which was formerly their home,
and wandered into this territory. For
a long time thev maintained eight fam
ily-distinctions-e each assuming the
name of an animal, by which they
were knoWn-as the. Eagle. Pigeon,
Wolf, Bear, Elk, Beaver, Buffalo, and
Snake. They were identified by the
mode of cutting their hair. -Four OF
these families were distinct when tie
white people came To this territory.
The other four had became lost OF eX-
Jlnct. Now, il is Weil-hnOWn that the
word kioWa was not ia the language
Of the Saullips and Foxes, but was a
part OF the language of the tribes
west of thes Mississippi. Hence it
would be more reasonable to look for
its definition among the tribe who
spoke the language Of which the word
was part. kioWa was the name Civ
en- TO those Indians who occupied the
territory along the kioWa river, and
who We've probably those bands which
came from the Sdukie tribe. mixed
with the GRAY Shows. The word
kioWa means crossing over ; hence the
river which these Indians Gro @-d
over WAS called ki0Wa, and the hi
dianS were called the kiOWas. or the
Indians who crossed-Oyer the river.
Their main village was at what is now
IOWIyille. Early settlers who are
still living inform me that the word
Iowa was originally Kiowa, and so
used 10y the old chiefs and their tribe;
and that the meaning WAS going over.
Iowa river WAS called ki-o-wa-sepO, OF
tile river which was passed over and
the Indians were called kiOWas, or
those who crossed Kiowa-sepo.
Il was at kioWavijie that Black Hawk
gained his last victory, having fought
his way from the mouth of Saukie
Creek. on Lake Superior, conquering
as he went.
The Inference is, that, if Black Hawk
used the word kiOwa Us interpreted 10y
Lecture, he must have had communi-
cation previously with the families
who had gone-out from hini,an whom
he expect 4 TO find over 4 river, and,
on crossing Mis-sis-sepo, supposed that
was the place; but he found them
farther west, at kiOWayille, on the
west bank Of KioWasepo, from which
river the State took its name, which
has been corrupted to Iowa.
