his somewhat irlsome task and having
reached the time of life and acquired the

titled him, he thought to lead an easier
life, sold most of his cows and devoted
his time To other agricultural pursuits
than dairying. This is the principal
reason why Iowa has refrigerated. Too
| much good times is bad for dairying.
In Iowa, however, for two years past,
the springs have been so cold and
damp. and rains so excessive through
the summer that crops have been very
short over a great part of the state.
Eut this one thing has been noted
