Stock-raising is fast becoming a most profitable Iowa is the first State in bogs, the second in wheat and corn in the Union.

FRUIT GROWING.

It has long since been fully demonstrated that Iowa is one of the best fruit growing States in the Union. The beauty and flavor of ben orchard products have not been excelled in any State, and since our nurserymen have cultivated the varieties adapted to our soil and climate, we find no difficulty in raising apples abundantly. Already the older settled counties are shipping large quantities every year. In the new counties, thousands of young orchards are coming on to supply the demand of the future. [Other kinds of fruit have proved equally successful. lowa has for years taken the first premium at the National and Industrial exhibitions for the finest and greatest number of varieties of apples, true to name, which our State Horti- cultural Society hold the medals to;attest.

MINERAL RESOURCES.

The coal field of Iowa covers an area of over twenty thousand square miles, and mining is successfully carried on in some thirty-five different counties, principally situated in' the Des Moines valley, twenty to fifty miles on both, sides of the river, Polk county being the center. This is an important branch of industry, and with the largely increasing demand is yielding remunerative returns for the capital invested. The measures thus far worked are from three to eight feet in thickness. The coal is, bituminous, and in quality fully equal to this class of coal found in other parts of the world. The mining of coal has attracted, large amounts of capital, and gives em- ployment to thousands of men, and a constantly increasing traffic to our railways. Copper, iron and zinc have been found in limited Gypsum of the finest quality exists in large deposits. Limestone, suitable for first-class quick-lime is found in abundance in most parts of the State. Stone of good quality for building pur- poses is quarried in most of the counties, while potter's clay, fire play and clay suitable for the manufacture of brick, are found in abund- ance. Discoveries of valuable deposits of mineral paint have also lately been made in several places. Lead has for years been exten- sively mined.

. quantities.

FUEL.

Although Iowa is a prairie State, nearly all the streams are skirted by splendid groves of timber-the prevailing varieties being oak, walnut, hickory, ash, 'elm, maple, linn, hackberry and cottonwood. Where cultivated in the sparsely timbered counties, it develops a rapid growth, and in a short time the owner of a prairie farm may raise timber enough to supply all his demands for fuel. By means of our admirable network of railroads the vast coal fields are also easily accessible to every part of the State. There are also large deposits of peat in some of the northern counties, but it has been used only to a limited extent.

MANUFACTURING FACILITIES.

The admirable adaptation of Iowa for the production of raw mater- ial, her vast coal deposits, good water power, and her transportation facilities, both by rail and water, enable her to offer remarkable in- ducements to the capitalist and manufacturer. Various kinds of manufactories are needed throughout the State, and those who may invest capital in them here can hardly fail to realize ample returns.

RAILROADS. LOADS.

The railroad system of Iowa now being developed will afford to our people access to the great markets of the world. In addition to her present competing lines of transportation, eastward and south- ward, others are projected. The great national highway across the continent lies directly through lowa .: In 1860 there were twenty States of the Union which had more lines of railroad than Iowa; now

BUSHNELL'S DES MOINES DIRECTORY. (

there are only four. | This wonderful progress in the construction of railroads indicates the confidence which capitalists entertain as to the future of Iowa. Iowa is traversed by railroads in almost every direc- tion, and the work of building new lines is steadily progressing.

LANDS, TAXES, ETC.

Of the 35.228,800 acres of land in Jowa, scarcely one-half has yet been brought into cultivation, and the unimproved lands are equal in fertility to any in the State. | The Various railroad companies are. now offering their lands for sale on easy terms, at prices ranging from $3.00 to $15.00 per acre. There are also large quantities of land in nearly all the counties, owned by private parties, which may be purchased at low rates. As soon as these lands pass into the bands of actual settlers, and improvement is commenced, their market value rapidly increases. Between the north and south boundaries of Iowa the entire country between the. Mississippi and Missouri is one of the best for farming purposes in the world. [ The prices of land of course vary according to circumstances. In some parts of the State, lands of excellent quality may be purchased at from $4.00 to $10.00 per acre. In the counties already comparatively well settled, first-class prairie land is sold at from $7.00 to $15.00 per adre. | It is all within convenient distance of market and railroad advantages. Timber land

of course rates considerably

higher than these prices,

Improved

farms command from $20.00 to 860.00 per acre, depending upon amount of improvement , location and other advantages. The State of Iowa is out of debt. Each county controls its own rate of taxa- tion, many of them having no outstanding indebtedness.

NEWSPAPERS.

The press is a potent agency in Iowa, an outgrowth of the enter. prise of the citizens. In the number and character of the daily and : weekly secular papers issued, this young State is rushing rapidly to the front !! The press everywhere is intelligently and earnestly at work, always endeavoring to promote the interests of Iowa, and to i, aid in the development of her resources.

STATE INSTITUTIONS.

Iowa is well supplied with educational, charitable and reformatory institutions, liberally endowed by the State. In most cases expensive and appropriate buildings have been supplied, and the aggregate. in- vestment in public institutions reaches into the millions." The : fol- lowing is a list of the several institutions and their locations : State University. Iowa City; State Agricultural College and Model Farm, Ames; Training School for Teachers, Cedar Falls; Institution for Support and Education of Deaf and Dumb, Council Bluffs; College for the Blind, Vinton; Soldiers' Orphans' Home and Home for Indi- gent Children, Davenport; Asylum for Feeble-Minded Children, Glenwood, State Reform School, boys' department, Eldora; State Reform School, girls' department, Mitchellville; Hospital for the

Insane, Mt. Pleasant; Hospital for the Insane, Independence; Peni- tentiary of the State, Ft. Madison; additional Penitentiary, Anamosa. VANTAGE EDUCATIONAL ADVANTAGES.

Ibwa, in her educational system, ranks as one of the best in the Union. She has a permament school fund, yielding an annual income of eight per cent, which is applied to the education of her youth. In addition, district and county school taxes aro levied. The public schools are open and free to all between the ages of five and twenty- one years, for at least six months in the year. We have a State Uni- versity, with an endowment by the State, and an Agricultural College, with an income derived from the sale of lands granted by the gener- al government, and appropriations by our State Legislature. The United States official statistics show a less percentage of individuals - who cannot read or write in Iowa, than in any other. State in the Un- ion: The annual expenditures for public school purposes is upwards of $5,000,000. There are upwards of 12,000 school houses, valued at - about, $10,000,000, ! The various religious denominations have also established colleges and schools of the higher grades.

POPULATION AND GROWTH.

In December, 1846, lowa was admitted into the Union as a State, having a population then of but little over 100,000. The capital in 1857 was removed to Des Moines. The United States census of 1850 gave Iowa a population of 192,214; 1860, 674,913; 1870, 1,104,020, and in 1880, 1,524,463. Des Moines is now the metropolis as well as the capital. Since 1860 the percentage of increase has been four times that of the United States at large. Nine States which, in 1870, stood above lowa in population, now rank below her. ; When we call to mind the fact that the present greatness of Iowa is all the growth of less than forty years, we may well anticipate the grandeur that awaits her in the near future-that she is provided with all the means neces- sary for the more rapid development of ber inexhaustible resources. In her healthful plimate, productive soil, railroad and water transpor- tation facilities, and her intelligent, enterprising people, we have the. best guaranty that her future progress will be unprecedented.
