Edison Gaylord, Of Iowa, in the
New York Tribune, advises the use
Of common tarred sheathing paper
around fruit trees to protect them
from the sun, mice, rabbits and bor-
ers. The paper comes in about
fcrty-pound rolls and is eighty-two
inches wide. 1t costs at retail five
cents pound for single roll, less
where a.halfdozen are taken. But
one roll is enough for this purpos.
ordinarily. Cut in stripes wide
enough to 60 around the tree and
lap a little, leaving it the whole
width OF the roll. Tie it around the
tree with wool Irvine.
At the annual meeting of the
American Dairymen's Association,
held at Ingersoll, Canada, last month,
Prof Arnold read paper on the
subject of "Western Butter Makers"
written by Mr.. John Stewart, Man
chester, Iowa. The writer first le-
ferred to the prejudice which had SO
long prevailed in the East against
Western butter. He maintained
that Northern Illinois, iowa and
Southern Wisconsin were, III soil,
water, climate and atmosphere, well
adapted to butter making, and that
the prairie grass of the West pro-
duced quality Of that article which
could be preserved longer than that
made in the East. Some OF the real
reasons, why for atime Western But
ter did not command high price,
were the want OF conveniencies for
its manufacture, lack of attention to
dairy farming, the absence of prop
er means Of transportation in warm
weather, and the carelessness of ex-
porters in packing. These draw
backs had lately disappeared to a
very grea. extent, and Western but
ter made OH the creamery system
now rated very highly, as was shown
by the awards ut the Centennial En-
hibition.
One way of breaking balky horse
is to harness him with a reliable
horse, and when he refuses to pull
tasten one end of a two-inch pole to
the singletree of the true horse, and
the other end to the bit of the balky
horse. Then when the true horse
goes ahead the other is obliged to go
with him. Another method, which
| think is the best, is this: When
the horse balks take off al the har-
ness excepting the brille, then take
a small rope, like a pillow line, pass
one end through the ring on the left
side Of the bride, under his jaw, and
fasten it to the ring on the right
side of the bride draw the horses
head around to his left side, pass
the rope under his tail like a crup-
per, and fasten it, being careful to
have his head close to his side; then
let the horse go. He will, of course.
travel in a circle, and will soon fall
from dizziness. Loosen the rope at
once, let the horse get up, and then
reverse the position of the rope so as
to bring his head to his right side,
and then let him 90 until he falls as
before. Then harness him, and you
will probably never be troubled
with his baking again. l have
known farmers who have tried this
method, but stopped when they were
halt done-a great mistake, as it is
essential that the horse be made to
fall the second time. Always speak
and act kindly to the horse.-Cor.
Ohio Farmer.

The Dubuque Times
FOR 1877.
FOR 1877.

The Dubuque Tin,fs was established in 1856 and
is now Of age-2l years old. With its career most
Iowans are familiar II has ever been the earnest
and sturdy advocate of the Republican party, and
has shared its grand achievements and glory. 1t
has contributed to the upbuilding Of Dubuque and
the State and Its wide and growing circulation at
tests that it is recognized and important factor
in the material and political progress apparent on
every hand. Long years ago ii passed the point
where it was but a venture or experiment. For
years it has been one OF the necessities OF the
Northwest. Its growth in popular favor during
the past Ave years is at once proof Of this and the
pride Of its publishers In response to this rec
ognition it has kept pace with the public demands
by frequent engagements, until 1t is now
THE LARGEST DAILY IN IOWA.
The T;mts is the only Republican daily in nor
thern Iowa. save that at Sioux City; hence its 10
cal field is larger than that OF any other journal
in the State. While it has vigorously defended
the principles of the Republican party, it has
serted its independence to the extent Of denounc-
ing its unquestoned errors, has advocated genuine
reform in its ranks, and has been swift to
sparingly condemn wrong doors and corrupt men,
whether in its own party or otherwise. The TIM $
fought the good fight Of its party during the late
wards" Well done that comes up from the
tongues OF thousands. 1t aided not little in re-
deemng the Third District from the Democratic
Misrepresentation in the lower honse OF Congress.
TELEGRArHIc NEWS.
The cream OF all the current news of the coun-
try is daily published in its columns. Literal re-
ports OF the proceedings Of Congress the state
Legislature, OF Conventions and public gatherings
OF every description are promptly printed. Nor
does it limit its news to its own party. but gives
liberal space to the proceedings of its opponents.
No journal outside the metropolitan cities pub
fishes such extended commercial. financial and
market reports as does the Dubuque Times
These reports are obtained daily by telegraph
from all the great business and commercial centers
and the local markets reported with great care.
1t is conceded that its market reports the most
reliable Of any Iowa paper
Its editorial columns alive with discussions
OF the current topics of the times. Political com
mercial. financial literary and social problems.
will be considered with point and vigor. Its con
victions are honestly entertained and announced
without fear or favor. Believing in the widest
| federation these columns will always be open to
adverse opinions upon all proper questions. Its
position during the Presidential contest is well
known. In the resultant issues THE TINES will
! insist that the lawful verdict be PEACEFUL" Oh
served and il will advocate such amendments OF
the election laws will make like complications
impossible.
