What Farmers Should Be.

A farmer,should be well instructed
in chemistry generally, more par
ticularly as applied to agriculture;
he should!be well versed in mineral
ogy, geology, botany, and in the
physiology of seeds, plants, trees
and animals, including the species of
bimana; he should learn geometry,
mensuration, etc., he should study
political ECONOMY so as to have a
clear conception of the sources Of
wealth and prosperity.
In our Republican government he
should be instructed in his constitu-
tional rights, and t9sht to vindi-
cate them byl terse an condensed

for our country when our farmers,
so educated, shall have the ascend

TUSCALOOSA, ITS LOCA1
TON, ETC.

The town is beautifully situated on
the dividing ridge of uplands, be-
tween the Des Moines and Skunk
rivers; distance mile from the one
and four from the other. Surround
ed on all sides by prairies of unsur-
passing beauty and fertility, dotted
here and there with natures most
delightful groves, it is one of the
most desirable locations in Iowa.
Possessing the advantages of both
rivers, which are noted for their
great water power privileges, and
being on the main route of travel
from the Mississippi through the in
terror to Council Bluffs on the Mis-
souri, it cannot fail to be one of the
best towns of the west.
The average distance from the diff
ferent points on the Mississippi-be-
tween Keokuk in Lee county and
Muscatine in Muscatine county is
about 100 miles.
The county of which Oskaloosa is
the seat of justice was organized in
April 1874; on the 18th day of May
following the present site of Oska-
loosa was Eselected as the county
seat. 1t was then an uninhabited
prairie-it now contains population
of near 800 inhabitants.
The following statistics will give a
tolerably correct idea of the business
of the place:-It contains nine dry
goods stores, two drug stores, two
groceries, two saddlery and harness
establishments, two tin and stove
ware shops, one ready made cloth
ing house, three blacksmith shops,
one gunsmIth, two wagon and car
rage makers, one chair factory, three
cabinet and furniture rooms, one
bakery one hotel, one steam saw
mill and cording machine and one
oil mill-eight lawyers, nine physi-
clans, one printing establishment,
four or five congregations of the
Christian church, one Masonic lodge,
a lodge of /. o. o. F., one division
of Sons of Temperance and one
union of the Daughters of Temper
ance, all Of which are in very pros
porous condition.
A large number Of good and sub
stantial buildings are now in process
of erection. And judging from the
enterprise and spirit manifested by
it's inhabitants, its central aud heal
thy location, the many manufactur-
ing and agricultural advantages of
the surrounding country and the
rapid ingress of emigrants, we be-
lieve but few towns of the west at
