The Grand Army of the Republic post in Mason City have made arrangements for tho erection of a soldiers’ monument in that city. It will stand over twenty- cight feet in height, surmounted with a soldier’s statue. The material will be white bronze, The ning-yenr-old son of Thomas Shan- non was killed by the cars at Waterloo on the Slst ult. The boy undertook to jump from a moving train, to which he had climbed, when he fell under the wheels and was so_terribly injured that he died in a short time. An effort is being made to revive the Buchanan County Soldiers’ Mouument association. This association was o ized in 1869, with Jed Lake as presi enc and Olpum E. C. Little secretary, and preliminary steps were taken to secure the erection of a monument, But fur- @t | ther than this the association never went Secretary Shaffer, of the State Agricul- tural society, says Iowa is found to be the chief flax growing state, the area for 1883 having been 287,400 acres, or about threo-tenths of the whole crop of the United States. He also says the product of the sorghum syrup for the year was 2,640,000 gallons, worth $1,425,000. About 30,000 acres were planted. A singular circumstance is reported in connection with the accident W‘;dnuday night west of Cedar Rapids, When the ue |stock cars had completed their somer- saults aud lay piled together in a fearful wreck two steers were seen standing on S T AL thu ground unhurt, in a space less than twelve feet square, with cars and debris piled over and around them in sucha manner that they were kept imprisoned until Monday, being fed through aper- tures in the broken cars. - Forcing Rhu barb, Asparagus, Etc American Agriculturist, The forcing of the production of veg- etables tar in advance of the usual sea- son, by aid of artificial heat, occupies a large share of the time of the English gardener. It was formerly much more prevalent in this country than since the rapid carrisge by railway and steam brings large supplies raised at the south to northern markets, and furrishes mauy vegetables much cheaper than they can be produced here by forcing. Lettuce, which does not bear long_transportation, is about the only vegetable that is now forced on a large scale. Boston is the headquarters for this industry, and thero 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, a8 the plants must be four or five years old before they are large 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 Kebruary, Rhubarb is occasionally forced "as an incidental erop by florists, who thus utilize the space under the benches of their greenhouses. Roofs frem an old bed, or plants raised for the purpose are stacked closely under the benches and fine soil sifted over to ill up all the apaces between the roots. With the temperature at from sixty to seventy-five degrees stalks are soon pro- duced, and the florist often derives o handseme return for a small outlay, A A supply for family use can be 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, the stalks are all the more tender when pro- duced in the dark, hence the barrel should be covered, mkmg care to supply water as needed. It may be set near tlm cellar furnace or in a warm place in cious kitchen, If more convenient, n may be sot under a shed with fermenting manure piled around iv. Of course, pre- paration for forcing in this manner should be made before the ground closes, Still, advantage should bo taken of the usual *January thaw” to lifts fow roots for the purpose, and still give a supply of stalks much earlier than they can be had from the open ground. The roots after forcing are worth but little, and it is better to keep up a supply Ly making new plantings than to set out. TT——— Draft Horse Business. liwnkmln f you have not already plenty of good dnu stallions in your neighborhood to breed from next spring, don’t wait until the season for breeding is here before you begin to think about the matter. If you are not able or do not care to invest. ae much as some first-class horse will [wl!, mention the fact to some enterpris- ng neighbor, or two or three of them for that matter,and see if you cannot lrrlngul for the purchase of a horse that will pay a good return on the amount invested, and the troublo, and by so doing enhance the value of your horse stock from 50 to 100 per cent in a fow years. It is time now to begin to map out your arrangements for noxt year's breeding, and the sooner you begin the better it will be for many and various reasons, You can se- lect with more deliberation, and if one firm can't suit you, you have time to visit another. You will have time to acclimate a horse and become accustomed to his habits and requirements before the rush season begins, The matter of advertia- ing is no small consideration, as farmers who know positively that a worthy horse is within reach are likely to breed more mares, All the advantages derived from taking hold of such a work would take up more space than could devote to it, but the principal point should not be lost sight—that of inaugurating such work, and of doing 8o at once, G — Kansas Farmers, Correspondence New York Trlvune, The farmer himself is the most fascin- ating adjunct of a Kansas farm, It is here that the contented steadfastness of the population of the far eastern states has met half-way the disorder and turbu- lence of the far west,and the meoting has resulted in a typo of character which I believe has not its counterpart elsewhere in the world. His history has usually been somewhat as follows: Ho was born and *‘raised” in Ohio When he reached man's estate the estate, by the way, boing ln\ing *‘struck out” for the west and perhaps in Indiana, Thence “things got too thick,” he m" Ilinois, and after a fow r stato he was swept on by t} gration into Missouri, wh tell you, *‘the rebels w: 80 he soon hitched up and embarked the f gods, and crossed On his travelr up & companic carefully pr/ he has ber ence, a have me r qu. tled 1. vaxuuly in Towa wu days have ag. ate him to push thing, however, as certain class of the , intend to pre-empt *‘tha do before the land is all to.
