IOWA LETTER.

A letter from Allen Louks of Cambridge, lowa, says the prospect for fruit in that country is very poor, the hard freezes some days ago killing nearly all of it. There will be some late apples and some peaches. ■ " Oats are looking well and the fine weather has enabled the farmers to get much ground in readiness to plant corn, which in the local market is 68 cuts, and for Chicago markets 65 cents. That locality has been stripped of hogs, only enough being left for breeding purposes. Dairying is an important industry and nearly all farmers keep from 12 to 30 cows for milk purposes. This milk is delivered to the express companies every morning and goes direct to Chicago. separators are just being introduced. Mr. Louks says in conclusion that Hawkeyes don’t seem to be used to seeing democratic literature, and stand with wide open eyes as he displays his Democrat.
