hood hurled against it by those who by
all good reasons should be it's warm
friends and supporters.
It's time to speak out on these subjects
Cease this impractical, impossible twad-
die about abolishing the Agricultur-
al College, but set to work to i'm
prove it where it can be done and still
more particularly, seek to obtain and
spread the benefits of it over the entire
State.
The analysis of soils is but just com
menced. Let this work be carried on
there, The germ of disease is yet per-
haps to be found. Let the state here
do its part in finding it out. The posi-
bilities OF improvement in stock, grain,
fruit and forestry are but entered upon.
Is there not work here to do ? Climat-
ic effect on even man can be traced by
it's effect on other products of nature,
and what SO important at the present
as this investigation. Then when the
apparatus is but just gathered, and the
will to use it partially acquired, all as
the gratuity of our National Govern
ment, shall the Great State of Iowa
throw up the sponge, as an idiot or a
knave. Be done with this nonsense.
Acquit ourselves like men and be going
forward in this noble work.
What is true Of this institution is
true of our great charities. There
is no such thing as dropping them.
We do want steadiness in their manage
ment and liberality in their support.
The same is true in regard to u
educational system. The idea Of abol-
ishing the agencies employed because Of
some incompetent incumbent or some
temporary or accidental misfortune is
not manly or wise. Steadiness at the
helm is most required during storms.
So of u railroad legislation. We
want no sudden changes, no flying off
on tangents. Prune where necessary
but don't destroy the tree till found to
be worthless.
The present situation OF our State is
%precarious in M particular. The last
assembly did an unwise thing in refus-
ing to levy the tax necessary to cover
the needed appropriations. Let this be
corrected at once as far as possible.
The people want no subterfuges. What
is necessary in connection with rigid
economy and prudent management
should be voted at once. The limits of
the constitution are perhaps a bar to
the full extinguishment of the floating
Indebtedness but to the extent of the
fundamental law, it should be done.
The appropriations to all purposes for
the next two years will necessarily be
less than the actual requirements, but
should come as near the real necessities
as possible. Steady, then, but forward.

MEXICAN
Mustang Liniment,
FOR MAN AND BEAST.

This liniment very naturally orig mated in Aneri'
ca, where Nature provides in her laboratory such
surprising antdotes for the maladies Of her chill
dren. Its famo has been spreading for IS years,
until now It encrcles the habitable globe.
The Mexican Mustang Eminent is q matches
remedy forall external ailments Of man and beast.
To stock owners and farmers It is invaluable.
A single bottle often saves human life or re-
stores the usefulness Of an excellent horse, OK.
COW, or sheep.
Il cures foot-rot, hoof-ail, hollow horn, grub,
screw.worm, shoulderrot, mango, the bites and
stngs of poisonous reptiles and insects and every
such drawback to stock breeding and bush life.
1t cures every external trouble OF horses, such
as lameness, scratches, swinny, sprains, founder.
wind-gall, ng-bone etc., etc.

cure In the world for accidents occurring in the
family, in the absence OF O physician, such as
burns, scalds, sprains cuts, etc, and for rheuma-
1sn, and stiffness engendered by exposure. Par
ticularly valuable to Miners.

clover and Timothy Hay Compared.

Many Of the best farmers in the
northern states sell their timothy hay in
cities and villages and feed cloyer to
their own stock, because 1t is found by
experience to be more nutritious and to
produce the beat manure made on the
farm. Clover cut early is nch in
nitrogen and albuminoids, being nearly
equal to wheat and little better than
corn. Beussingault makes the nitrogen
2 40: while the average of timothy is
1.5O. If clover or timothy be allowed
to ripen seed, the nitrogen in hay Qeaf
and stem), is greatly reduced. This is
why corn blades on ripe gram are poor
fodder.
Taking nitrogen as a representative Of
nutriment in the best clover and timo-
thy hay clover will stand twenty-four to
Timothy only fifteen. Hence 1t follows
that two parts clover will represent
forty-eight in feshy-forming material,
while three parts Of timothy will repre-
sent forty five 10 the same nutritive
substances. The same remarks apply
to the solid and liquid excretions Of
horses, cattle and sheep that may be
fed on clover or timothy hay.
Clover is equally rich in phOsphates,
and requires a soil strong in the mineral
food plants to produce large crop.
Salts of Inns. potash and magneSia do
the needful for clover and timothy. The
last named needs ammonia or nitric acid
as manure more than the former.
Wood ashes rarely failed to greatly
improve meadow and pasture which con-
tam both clover and such grasses as
timothy, redtop, orchard and rye grass.
A mixture Of clover and grass makes
the best hay. Meadow foxtail deserves
tar greater attention than it receives in
this country. There are several spicies
of fescue and oat grass, hardy, peren-
NAL ane nutritious, whose value is littles
known. Hay production is too little
studied by all farmers.
1t is the backbone OF nature and grow
ing fertility. Corn plants are worth
more for hay than for grain at this time,
because their forage benefits are gener-
ally neglected: Some farmers who can
grow only two tons of timothy hay on
an acre raise ten tons Of corn fodder to
timothy pound tor pound. In rich per-
meable soil corr is grass feeder and a
rapid growing, sending its roots far in
to the subsoil. In this respect it resem-
bles clover, lucerne and peas. The pc
culiarities. ofall the plants cultivated
should receive attention that all may
be returned to the best account.

Shelbyville, the county-seat of Shell
by county, is live town of about 5000
inhabitants, in the centre Of one of the
most productive counties in the State.
This county, like Jefferson, frigfes the
great bluegrass region. Corn, wheat
and hemp are produced in great abun-
dance, and the farmers are far more IN
dependant and less in debt than in any
county we have visited. Bourbon and
Fayette, the most famous for blue. grass
and fine stock, present weekly lists OF
dozens of failures and arguments, and
not unfrequently suicides of extensive
farmers.
All this bluegrass region is limestone
lying deeper than in Maryland or Vir-
ginia, and usuallya brownish'red clay
soil, very deep, containing considerable
humus. Bone-dust IS the only CONNER
cial fertilizer used to any extent. The
practice of turning under rye, is al
most universal.
AS a specimen of the acumen Of the
leading farmers in this region, they have
tired, approved and adopted the MGin'

Latin Pronunciation.

Tho article Of "E. G., in your column of tho
l2th instant, upon this vcxcd question of
rightly pronouncing Latin, shows the difficult
ties with which teachers meet iu not having
Que uniform method adopted aud adhered to.
That scholars are not ut all agreed which
method Is the best Is certainly conclusive proof
that each one now in use has merit rs well Us
faults and this is substantatCd by the fact
that of the colleges in this country ninety
adopt the English method sovcnty.fvo tho
continental, aud Scvcnty.twu the Roman. W.
IS Scarborough uf WihcrturCe University,
saws he is IN favor of the English although
the Roman has been recently adopted in that
institution
Dr. Iiarkncss says that "strictly speaking
there is no continental method rs every ma
ton OH tho continent Of Europe has its own
method = and also that SCHOLARS Ia different
countries generally pronounce Latin substau-
TALLY as they do their own languages" Why,
then, not pronounce Latin according to tho
rules of our own lanCuagc7
The Roman method is in the minority in
this country, aud very justly think, for it is
harsh and not in the least ruphOni0us have
now in my class in Latin pupils who have
