Keokuk has a paid lire department , and points to it as one of the best in Iowa. Storm Lake is proud of its now hall. The building is 50x100 , and the stage is 10x48. Huscatino is one of the old cities of Iowa , but not until February 1 , 1884 , was the monthly bill system inaugur ated. ated.St. St. Joseph's , the now Gorman Catholic church in Independence , was dedicated on the 30th ult.

Congressman Holmes lias a bill to pay $2,500 to Abbio Sharp , formerly Abbio Gardner , who was captured and whoso family was killed by Sioux Indians at Spirit Lake in March , 1857. The Grand Army of the Republic post in Mason City have made arrangements for HID erection of a BoldiorV monument in that city. It will stand over twenty- eight feet in height , surmounted with a soldier's statue. The material will bo vrhito bronze. The nine-year-old son of Thomas Shan non was killed by the cara at Waterloo on the Ulst ult. The boy undertook to jump from a moving train , to which ho had climbed , when ho foil under the wheels and was so terribly injured that ho died in a short time. An effort is being made to ruvivo the Buchanan County Soldiers' Monument association. This association was organ ized in I860 , with Jed Lake as president and Captain IS. 0. Little secretary , and preliminary stops wore taken to sccuro the erection of a monument. But fur ther than this the association never went. Secretary Shaffer , of the State Agricul tural society , says Iowa is found to bo the chief ( Ux growing state , the area for 1883 having been 287,400 acres , or about three-tenths of the whole crop of the United States. Ho also gays the product of the sorghum syrup for the year vrus 2,010,000 gallons , worth § 1,425,000. About 30,000 acres were planted. A singular circumstance is reported in connection with the accident Wednesday night west of Cedar Ilaplds.Vhen the stock cars had completed their somer saults and lay piled together in a fearful wreck two steers were seen standing on the ground unhurt , in a space loss than twelve foot square , with cars and debris piled over and around them in such a manner that they were kept imprisoned until Monday , being fed through aper tures in the broken cars. Forcing Him Uarl ) , Asparagus , Klo American Agriculturist. The forcing of the production of veg etables tar in advance of the usual season - son , by aid of artificial heat , occupies a largo share of the time of the English gardener. It was formerly much moro prevalent in this country than since the rapid carriage by railway and steam brings largo supplies raised at the south to northern markets , and furnishes many vegetables much cheaper than they can bo produced hero by forcing. Lettuce , which docs not boar long transportation , is about the only vegetable that is now forced on a largo scale. Boston is the headquarters for this industry , and there are many acres of glass devoted to it in the neighborhood of that city , the grow ers supplying the markets in nearly all the eastern cities. Asparagus was never forced to a great extent for market with us , as the plants must bo four or five years old before they are largo enough for this. The beds in the southern states are now productive , and the supply is annually increasing. It comes in small quantities in January and is abundant in February. Rhubarb is occasionally forced as an incidental crop by ilorists , who thus utilize the sjiaco under the benches of their greenhouses. lUofs frem an old bad , or plants raised for the purpose are stacked closely under the benches and line soil sifted over to fill up all the spaces between the roots. With the temperature at from sixty to soventy-livo degrees stalks are soon pro duced , and the florist often derives a handsome return for a small outlay. A A supply for family use can bo readily forced by placing a few roots in a barrel or cask with earth to fill the spaces. The plants do not need light ; indeed , thu stalks are all the moro tender when pro duced in the dark , hence the barrel should bo covered , taking care to supply water as needed. _ It may bo sot near the collar furnace or in a warm place in a spa * cious kitchen. If more convenient , it may be Hot under a shod with fermenting manure piled around St. Of course , pro- T.mration for forcing in this manner should bo made before the ground closed. Still , advantage should be taken of the usual "January thaw" to lift a few roots for the purpose , and still give a supply of stalks much earlier than they can bo had from the open ground. The roots after forcing are worth but little , and it is bettor to keep up a supply by making now plantings than to set out. Draft IforHO UuslncsM. Stookman , If you liavo not already plenty of good draft stallions in your neighborhood to brood from next spring , don't wait until the eoaion for breeding is lioro before you begin to think about the matter. If you are not able or do not care to invest as much as some first-class horse will , cost , mention the fact to some enterpris ing neighbor , or twt or three of them for that matter , and BOO if you cannot arrange for the purchase of a horse that will pay a gooJ return on the amount invested , and the trouble , and by HO doing enhance the viiluo of your horse stock from 50 to 100 per cent in a few years. It is time now to begin to map out your arrangements for next year's breeding , and the sooner you begin the bettor it will bo for many and various reasons. You can se lect with more deliberation , and if ono firm can't suit you , you have time to visit another. You will have time to acclimate a horoo and become accustomed to his habits and requirements before the rush season begins. The matter of advertis ing is no small consideration , as farmers who know positively that a worthy horse is within roach are likely to brood moro marcs. All the advantages derived from taking hold of such a work would take up moro space than could duvoto to it , but the principal point should not bo lost sight that of inaugurating suoh work , and of doing so at once. Corrcspondcnco New York Trlouno , The farmer himself is the most fascin ating adjunct of a Kansas farm. It is hero that the contented steadfastness of the population of the far eastern status haa mot half-way the disorder and turbu lence of the far vrestand the mooting has resulted in a type of character which I believe has not itscounterpart elsewhere in the world. His history has usually boon somewhat as follows : Ho was born and "raised" in Ohio When ho reached man's estate the estate , by the way , being I "struck out" for the west and perhaps in Indiana. Thoncr "things got too thick , " ho in' Illinois , and after a few r state ho was swept on by tl- . gration into Missouri , wf < toll you , "tho rebels w so ho soon hitched up and embarked the f , gods , and croflsod On his travolc . ? up a companir carefully pr' ' ho has bor peace , o' as "hi , havr h qu. tledj. vaguely in Iowa w . . days have agu ate him to push thing , however , a * certain class of the , intend to pre-empt "thu ' . do before the land is all to < . While waiting at a little , on the Kansas Southern railroau , I noticed on thu platform a young i , I took him to bo , who with "his won. and family of three children suoinod v. bo also waiting for the train , "Well , " I said to him , "nro you off for Colorado ? " "No , " said ho , "lowoy. " "Going to settle thoroi" I inquired. "Yes , " ho replied - plied ; "I was up there in September mid 1 seed nice littla farm a that I took a notion to and so I thought that if I could sell out hero for anything like what that farm would cost mo I would go and buy. Wall a follow came along and ofi'ored mo $10 an aero for my 80 , and that 80 up that in loway wasn't but $12 an aero and so I invested. " "Well , " said I , "is the Iowa farm a better farm ?
