The Iowa Homestead. - This old friend comes back to us again with its good old
name. Gov. B. F. Gue, who, our readers will rrecollect [recollect] for many years, owned and edited the
Northwest, now the Messenger, here in Fort Dodge, has lately bought of Dr. Sprague the Stock
Journal and given to it is old name, The Iowa Homestead, so familiar to us all, and is going to
give to the farmers of Iowa an independent agrricultural [agricultural] paper. We expect to see some pretty
plain truths spoken. Gov. Gue speaks his own thoughts, and he has ability to express them
on the pages of the Homestead in a way tthat [that] will tell. This is only another evidence of
the facts we have before called to the attention of our readers viz., that there is a grand day
dawning for the farmers of Iowa. There is talent and ability being given to agricultural
writing that will tell wonderfully upon the intelligence of the men and women of the
farm. With unfeigned gladness we hail Gov Gue as one of the writers in farm literature who
will be true to the highest interests of the farmers. We would rejoice to see the Homestead
go into every homestead of our great State, for we believe its weekly visits would be
a mighty lever to lift up the tiller of the soil to his true position. We can most heartily recommend
every farmer to make it one of the indispensable things of his household.-L.S. Coffin
in Fort Dodge Messenger.
