IowA,s PROGRESS.

1t is not merely the fact that nearly
all the cattle sola at the public sales
in Iowa are bought TO stay in the
State and that at the sales in Illinois,
Indiana and Kentucky, Iowa figures
largely, but we see announcements
all over the United States of private
sales of thoroughbred stock to our
citizens. This is evidence of a gener-
al effort al Improvement and enter
prise. We see that Geo. II. Manning.
Secretary of the American jersey
Cattle Club, Newport, r. l., last week
sold Jersey cows to three citizens Of
Iowa.. And several important i'm
portations have lately been made from
Kentucky to this State. And although
the depression in money matters may
create a slight falling Off in prices at
the public sales, it is no intimation Of
waning interest on the part of the
people in the Improvement and rear
ing Of stock. The great work will go
forward, and our state will soon
stand with Illinois, as the choicest
part Of the world for stock raising.
and that to this region the seekers
after neat models of neat cattle will
hither come. Kentucky has no such
broad acres of rich alluvial land for
blue grass pastures, for corn, or for
the finer cereals as Iowa. As to our
pastures, read the Hon. Edw. Camp
BELLS article in this days REGISTER
on Blue Grass pastures, and feel a
double assurance that you are at home
in the choicest part of the globe. Few
scarcely realize the blessings that are
under our feet and in the atmosphere
we breathe. And no circumstance
has attracted more attention to the
superior claims of Iowa as an agri
cultural State than the choice beevei
we are sending forward to market
and the rapid improvement we arc
making in our grade of stock.-C. II

Agricultural Items.

Plow deep for corn and deeper for
clover.
Sow radishes every week for sue
cession.
A fleshy cow givesricher milk than
a poor thin one.
All soil, whether wet or dry, are
made more productive by under
drains.
Look ont for the first crop of pota-
to bugs. BY the second crop early
potatoes will be abo4tahead of them.
Most seeds will germinate sooner
by being stirred in scaiding water
for a few minutes. The smaller ones
the least time.
Insects must now be fought. The
tent-ca terpillars, canker-worms,
bark lice, borers, &c, must be watch
ed and destroyed.
This is the season for sowing grass
seeds. Our wild grasses must be
supplanted by the sweet and nutri-
tious tame grasses.
There were neither farmers nor
weeds, until after the fall of Adam,
and that was short time ago, in
comparison to the age of the earth.
Iowa can spare more bushels OF
corn, after feeding bountifully her
millions of hogs and cattle, than all
the world buys of the United States
annually. .
All agricultural associations tend
to give the farmer more confidence i'm
himself, to aequaint him with the
business, duties, amenities oflife.
Farmers should keep in mind that
clover is valuable for pasture, for
hay, for seed, for fall feed, and is the
cheapest and most valuable fertilizer
now known.

A Small Flower Garden.

A writer in the UesterR Farm,
Journal recommends for small
flower garden the following list, as
they do not require treatment, are
good sturdy varieties, will stand neg
lect, yet do well; Asters, balsams,
dianthus, pctunias, phlox, calliopsis,
verbenas, sweet peas, mignonette, Gin
nipa, marigolds and portulaccas. The
same writer again says: "Thc plants
| have named will afford profusion
of flowers from June 10 October
Phlox will be the first TO bloom, anf
then pctunias will come on, and both
of these flowers continue to increase
in beauty until hard frost comes
Asters will be in perfection in Au'
gust and September. Calliopsis be-
gins to bloom in July, and nearly all
the others come on early in the
month. IF old flowers are removed
and not allowed to 60 to seed, you
will have much greater profusion
of bloom. If You do not remove
faded flowers, but allow them to per-
feet seed, you will soon see that youl
plants are losing large share OF
their former glory. You can't eX.
pcct plant to ripen seed and bloom
protuscly at the same timc.'

Stand by the farm my friend, who

farming don't pay nothing else can
prosper. When farmers are poor the
whole business world is poor, and
prosperity will knock first at the far

an itching for city life, rent his farm
for one year and make n trial of life
in the city, and we think that in three
cases out of four he will be cured
When he comes to pay from three to

Chickens and Chicken Cholera

The Columbus Ind.) Republican
relates the treatment adopted by DIR.
VonKlein, of that city, for suppos-
cd case of chicken cholera. "The doc
tor pulled out the feathers over the
craw, and that organ plainly indicat-
ed the seat of the disease. TWAS in
famed to the highest degree. An in
cision was made in the craw, and
pair of tweezers inserted, and more
than pint of dry hay or grass was
drawn out. The doctor said this was
indigestible, and when once in the
craw, death must ensue, unless relief
was had by extracting it, as demon
strated in this case. This was evil
dent to all who witnessed this opera
ton.
During the operation alluded to
above, the chicken made no signs Of
uneasiness or pain. The chickens
were operated on as above, and are
now running around the yard as we'll
as ever. The doctor contends that
two-thirds of the chickens die with
this indigestible grass or hay taken
into the craw, and yet, most people
think it cholera. This theory is new
to us, yet we have been convinced of
its trnthfulness by witnessing the
operations alluded to above"
1t will be easy for those interested
to satisfy themselves with regard to
the dry grass and feather theory, by
examining the contents of the crops
of chickens dying of the cholera.
Will correspondents losing chickens
in this way, please make such exami-
nation, and report results to the Far.
ner, and oblige the editors.
Now is the time to purify your
chicken houses to prevent disease
Burning sulphur in the houses
sprinkling with carbolic acid /; white
washing with hot lime; cleaning on
frequently; providing literally will
ashes, charcoal, burnt oyster-shells
lime, gravel, pure water, will all he'll
in stopping or warding of disease.

Valuable Information

Tho constitution of the United
States provides that: Congress shall
have power to promote the progress
OF science and the useful arts, by Sc
curing, for limited times, to authors
and inventors, the exclusive right to
their respective writings and discov-
cries"
The present law of Congress az
fords patents for machines, processes
and designs; the registration oftrade
marks and labels; and the copyright
of books, charts, maps, engravings.
photographs, paintings, drawings &c.
A book, within the copyright law,
is not necessarily a book in the ordi-
nary and common acccptation of the
word, that is, volume made up of
many sheets bound together; it may
be printed only on one sheet, as the
words of a song, or the music accom-
panying it.
A fair abridgmcnt is not an in
fringement Of a copyright, but in
such case the infringement must be a
condensation of the materials and in
tellectual labor, though the same idea
may be embraced. 1t must not be a
mere copy of certain parts, and the
omission of others.
In questions of infringement Of
copyright, the enquiry is not whether
the defendant has used the thoughts,
conceptions and information promul-
gated by the original, but whether his
composition is new work requiring
invention, learning and judgement,
or only a mere transcript of the
whole or parts of the original, wheth.
er the thing is new combination Of
old or new ideas or Of both, or sub.
stantially the same as the original.
Copyrights are granted by the Ii.
brarian of Congress, without any ex.
animation as to whether the subject
matter isa proper one for a copyrigh,
considering its nature and novelty
The validity of a copyright is there
fore much less certain than the valid
| ity ola patent for an invention, which
is only granted after careful exam
ination as to its relation to the STATE
of the art and the law. A copyright
however, as patent, is prima faci'
right, and relief can only be had b.
a contract, or by contest in a United
States Circuit Court. T. q. W.
