Brownville. May 30, ly. CHAMBERS &. NOTES. BROWNVILLE iS THORN, COLEMAN, CO., Announce to the traveling public that their splendid commodious Steam Ferry running across frcm Brownville, r-2 Nebraska. is one of tha best in every Tepect on the Upper Mis souri river. The Boat makes regular trips every hour so that no time will be lost in waiting. The banks on both sides of tho river are low and well graded which renders unloading nnneceesary as is the case al most other ferries. No fears need be entertained as to difficulties at ornea this crossing, as everybody in this repion, on both sides of the river, Is for the Union the strongest kind. Our charp es too an item thene hard Umes are lower than at any other crossing. Travelers from Kansas to lowi end totheea't will find this the nearest and best route i every respect. THORN, COLEMAN & CO. Brownville, Nebraska, Sept. 21st. 1S6I. mt TT TT From the Nebraska 1 publican. To, the Agricultural Society of f ROfiT. W. FtTRXAS, NOTARY PUBLIC, BUOWVILLEN N. T Gentlemen fThe settling; up of new countries with he right kind of emigrants is, in my opinion, a subject of much im portance, and one on which the ultimate success of this Territory iu a great meas ure depends. The short-sighted policy of our Gov ernment, Territorial Legislature and land owners, have done much to retard our pro gress, and hence the smallnnss of our pop ulation in this, one of the most healthy and fertil legions east of the Rocky Mountains. une onering a iew suggestions on tne best mode of making the Territory widely known, I can have no desire to see re-enacted the selfih expedients of 18-55, 6, &, 7. or by adopting some other well disguis ed system of fraud, again induce hundreds of all sorts of characters to come to this fair Territory, and have again repeated a similar system of wholesale swindling, that we in our great hurry to become rich, were then to some extent parties to. What we now want is an honest state ment of facts, well demonstrated in some tangible shape, clearly showing to the world that the great Missouri and Platte alleys from the Kansas line on the south, to the Running W ater on the north, are the most healthy aud as productive as any portion of this continent. A healthy cli mate is a blessing which to the emigrant cannot be over-estimated, and that this is pre-eminently healthy, is a point which cannot be disputed even oy interested per- :ous. Ditlerences of opinion may be en tertained respecting our mineral resour ces and supply of timber, but that the climate is healthy, the soil fertile and well watered, none will venture to dispute. First, a healthy climate ; becond, a rich soil; Third, an abundant supply of pure water; Fourth, every acre of land susceptible of a high state of cultivation. Only make known the above facts to emigrants seeking homes, and the super iority of our rolling prairie, over the rich level prairie lands of the central Western States, will be at once and forever estab lished. In short, the lands of Nebraska are capable of producing as fine wheat, corn, barley, potatoes, and all other vegetable products, with os much certainty, and in as short a period as any State east of the Missouri river. This is saying a great deal, but it is no less true. The great exhibition which will come off in London in the summer of 1862 is the first, and will be the best opportunity of bringing this healthy and interesting Territory fully before the notice of the civilized world. Every effort consistent with truth and desire to spread correct information should be adopted as early as possible. Our Legislature and county Agricultu ral Societies j-hould take action on this object, which is of such vital importance to the welfare of the Territory. 'Tis true it may be said, we have not much to exhibit, and as far as the arts and sciences are concerned, we have nothing; yet a small space secured in the American Department for Nebraska, would be a move in the right direction. Let a fair sample of our products be de posited there for exhibition, &c. I would next suggest that some compe tent person should accompany our pro ducts and lecture on our soil, climate, water, &c If possible, visit all the best agricultural coumies in England and Scot land lecture and exhibit our wheat, flour, corn, corn meal, oats, barley, potatoes and all other vegetables which will stand ex portation. By a well arranged statement of facts in relation to our soil and climate much might be accomplished. I would farther suggest that the person thus sent should be instructed to meet the Elders of Brigham Youn on the stump if practica ticable ; also correct the one-sided state ment of. the Hon. Mr. Caird, member of the British House of Commons, and a large stock holder in the Illinois Central R. R. In his over anxiety to sell his own, and the Company lands, he repre sents Illinois to be the Garden State of the Union. By such a movement the comparative merits of Utah, Illinois and our own healthy Territory, Nebraska, would be decidtd on the spot; and I have no hesitation in saying that our ef forts would be followed by success not far short of Brigham's and hi3 Mormon El ders who, by a similar effort, have this season alone, sest nearly 4.000 emigrants to a comparatively barren waste at a great sacrifice of money, and physical suffering. Gentlemen, the above are not the views of some visionary, but the actual results of the well directed missionary enterprise of Brigham, that has not only made the whole continent of Europe contribute to his service, but even South Africa has sent her share of men and wealth to build up his mountain Empire. I am, Gentlemen, yours very truly, Ao.ua.- A rmmh Vino kppn invented in CJnrinj nati which contains eleven explosive shells, and these inner shells contain each a number of prnlnsive bulleti. It is snlrl tf be the. mn?t rlestrnctivft and death dealing article cf war which has been tried. Raisins Turnips for Stock. This root probaly contains Ip.-s nu triment in proportion to its bulk than any oiher, yet, from the facility with which it is cultivated, and its whole some effect upon stock, it is one of the most profitable to rahe.- If ten bush els of English turnips can be produc ed with less actual expenditure of cap ital and time than is requisite to pro duce three bushels of potatoes or car rots, the former is certainly the more profitable crop, as no one can doubt that the nutritive value of the former will upon analysis, be found consider ably greater than the latter. On green sward recently broken, and prepared, especially if an appli cation of some sort of alkaline matter they do well; so rich crop3 have been produced on alluvial lands where the deposit was of a silicious description, intermixed with a slight per centage of alluminous earth. But the largest and finest crops we have ever seen, were raised on land where the bushes had been cut and burned, and the land plowed quite shallow, and sowed about the tenth of July. Advantage should be taken of a recent rain, when the seed should be sown either broadcast or in drills, and slightly covered. If sown in drills the labor is more at the start, bnt less afterwards ; they are more conveniently tended, and will generally propuce double the crop that they will when sown broadcast. The turnip is sown in corn fields at the last hoeing to good advantage and Or? o we have not seen that it decreases the corn crop any, coming so late as it does in the season. On old lands that have long been cultivated, it rarelv makes a remunerating crop, unless a considerable expense is incurred in the application of lime or ashes, which tend to drive away worms, with which old land is infested and which sup ply the peculiar nutriment which the turnip requires. In Europe the turnip is considered a great article for sheep. The seed is sown, either broadcast, as with u3 or in drills, and as soon as the crop ap proximates maturity, a portable fence is placed so as to divide a portion of the field from the remainder, and the sheep are turned in to devour the crop on the ground. When the turnips that are within the pale are all devoured, the fence is moved, and an additional section included, and so on until the entire crop is consumed. The. advan tages are secured in this wav, viz: the labor of harvesting is obviated, and labor of conveying manure to the field by no moiins an insignificant con sideration saved. The best English mutton is made in this wav. When a farmer has a large flock of breeding ewe$, probably the best veg etable he ci cultivate for them is the English Turnip. Fed to 'these ani mals during the last stages of gesta tion, and liberally for a week or so after parturition, the turnip appears to have a much more prompt and sal utary effect in promoting the secre tion of milk than the potato, without its physical properties. Before par turition, however, it should be fed but sparingly, as a large quantity would induce too copious a flow of milk, and tend to produce swelling and disease in the udder. Where turnips are giv en once or twice a day, even in small quantities, a free use of salt, or a mix ture of salt and ashes say one part of the former to two parts of the lat ter is recommended. In our climate, turnips could not he fed where they grow, later than No vember or December, but till the hard frosts come, we think they might be fed advantageously in that way. FN. h. rarmer. From the Farmer nl Gardener.) lie Honey Loeust for Hedging. Messrs. Editors: Seeing an in quiry in your August No. p. 43. con cerning Honey Locust as a Hedge plant, is my excuse for troubling you with this scribble. I have no experience with hedges, but almost every day I see one that I constantly admire. If your corres pondent would see this hedge, I am confident he would not for a moment hesitate about putting out a Honey Locust Hedge. The Hedge I speak of is on the grounds of J. II. Clark, foreman of the Syracuse nurseries. The plants were thrifty two years old when set out. It has been set five years next Spring. The ground is good, but not rich. The hedge is now five feet high, with a diameter at the base of three and a half feet. It is really a beautifully sight, and as stroug as beautiful. No animal could force it3 way through it, even when but four years old. It has been let grow rather high, so as to serve as a break to the west winds so prevalent here ia the Spring. The plants were set out in the spring, sir inches ppajrt. Konc of theia seem at all smothered, and in my opinion it is as perfect a hedge as can .reasonably be deired. It has gener- ally been cut twice a year, cither in the fall or spring, or about tho niidaic of July. "Mr. Clark had also two very fine Osage Orange hedges, I suppose about the same age. Last winter they were both ruined, since which, one has been dug up and Honey Locust planted in its stead. These hedges were not ex posed to the west winds, the most in jurious here. They both run cast and west. Honey Locust is not likely to be winter killed, judging from last winter, which I think was a pretty severe test. They, the nursery firm, have about a hundred rods of hedge now three years old ; it is doing remarkably well, and is the foundation of a good, permanent, "live fence." Mr. Clark has a piece of hedge, planted this spring in the place of the dead Osage. It looks fine. The nursery firm, Smith & Ilanchett, have planted a large amount of hedge for the well known agriculturist. George Geddes, of Guides, near Syracuse. It is also doing finely. I understand they have one con tract to put out next spring, one hun dred rods of the Honey Locust for one man near Syracuse. Iliese facts prove they have confidence in the plant. The plants are not expensive, cost ing from five to ten dollars per thou sand, at two years old. lours, &c., J. II. Foster, Jr. Syracuse, September, 1861. As the sty is the first thing to be provided, let this be built of any rough materials, say six feet square, with a raised floor, sloping in a trifling de gree towards the corner of the next opening. The roof must be of tiles or slats; the whole side3 and front, weather tight. The opening should be about two feet wide, but no door. Outside this, rail a space off as large as you can afford (the more room a pig has the better he thrives ;) to this outer place there must be a door to enter for the purpose of cleaning, as well as to accomodate the tenents. Let the outer space be paved or con creted in a solid, substantial manner. If twenty styes were .required, this should be something like the plan of all; the only imprvoement that could be made would be in size, whic might be increased. Ilowover, we are pro viding for only one sow, or a couple of store pig3. The outer place should slope a little towards the door, for the facility of cleaning. A substantial vessel to hold wash, and occasionally water, should be one piece of furni ture, and the trough for the food an other; and, with a good litter of straw inside, the pig house may be said to be finished. Of the various hrceds and cross breeds of pigs, it would be useless to sav much : thev have been crossed in everr direction, till every feeder calls his pigs a breed of h:3 own : and we arc-as wise after looking at fiftv al ledged sorts, as if we had seen only the Ia?t half dozen. In one little treatise on the pig, there are nearly thirty breeds and crosses mentioned; and if every cross were recognized, there would be a3 many to record a3 there arc feeders. In selec ting a pig look for a good square bo dy and short legs and head, and there will not be much am:s3 ; forunles3the pedigrees are regularly handed down like those of horses, and grunters are named like racers, none will know Tom Noke's improved: Essex from Jem Style's improved Sussex, and so of the rest. A well formed pig cannot be a bail sort ; judge for yourself therefor, and select one that can be recommen ded by a vender whom you know. II you are going to keep them for kil ling, buy two the sty is large enough to accommodate them unless they fight Once place them in possession of their mansion, and a few good feeds will soon reconcile them to their situation. As pig3 are not over dainty in their food, all that you have to care for is, that however coarse, it is wholesome. Save for thern the water that anything nutricioi:3 is boiled in, but the food should not be sloppy, whether it be meal of any kind or midlings, bran, or otherwise. Let what moisture von put to it be scalding hot, and do not make it thin ; let it be of the consis tence of very hasty pudding, such as the spoon will almost stand upright in Let the animal go to the wash or water-trough for his drink. Grains from home brewing are good for them ; but the ordinary brewers' grains have lit tle nourishment. If pigs can have run on a common, give them a good meal the first thing in the morning, and when thev cor.o ai night; they will forage during 'tho day, and thereby amuse, if th?y do-r.otsati-fy them solves. TLcv iilVcv- j er require to bo utci.cd he : ilr tho coTi.furt.-tbh .mr.tl ;md a gvd Led will do that. While try are thu3 treated they will grow, but not fatten much; when you resolve to do this, keep th'eiri in and give them the midday meal. We are advocates for changes of food, that is, changes from poas to barley meal or oat or cornmeal, and vice ver sa ; but when fattening, all their food should be substantial: wheat meal is excellent, that is, with nil the bran, huk, &c, in it, ju?t t;s it leaves tho mill. Potatoes, boiled are good; but not more than onetr.cnln day shoull he given, when getting ready" for tha knite. In fact, some who are in strait ened circumstances make tho pig livo on the waste of the garden, aud tho run of a common, or roadside, and givti them but one solid meal in the twenty four hours, and that on their return in me uv L-ujiig. nnere mere is a goott farm yard, and plenty of dung, and all the vegetable waste is thrown,, pigs will thrive greatly what with the un thrtghed corn left in the straw, and tho numerous pickings among all kinds of collected waste, they want but little" other feeding ; water they require, cr drink from the washtub, "and but lit tle else. The most profitable mode of keep idg is to grow your own provinder. The ordinary vegetable garden will do a good deal towards it. The small po tatoes from your stock cannot bo bet ter applied. The peas haulm, after gatheiing your crop is a great favor ite. And a feud of good barley meal pollard puddings, or other grain or infill supply, may do. As, however, tho pig advances, there may bo two feeds a day of the substantial food, and aa. much a3 he likes of tho vegetable. One of these feeds may ly of peas, when vo'i cme to the four or five last weeks of his life, and change the mid lings into barlev or uatmcal. Thy run of the garden vegetables, as a sort of mid day meal (if he has not got a run in other fields,) peas the first thing in the morning, ami as much meal as ho will take in the evening, will bring on a pig rapidly. The last fortnight ve ry little vegetable matter is to be giv en; but we must increase the peas to as many a3 he will eat. and the samo with the meal: yet it is a good plan to change the barley meal and oat meal, or any other meal of a similar naturo m f f . 1 . Larc siiouia be taken upon two or three essential points , for instance, all tho' vegetable food will be better for boil ing, and giving it warm, especially ia the winter. The midlings, meal or pollard, h to be scalded, and not made thin. The wash should be given in another trough: and not mixed itli his- mcro substantial food, His stye should bo regularly cleaned out; his bed shoud be well stiDnlied with straw, and madd warm and comfortable; he should be fed as much as he will eat at any meal but no more, and whatever he leaves should be removed ami the trough bo cleaned. His meal times should La morning noon and night. But he may always be supplied with Vegetables, because he will not cat more than h9 likes, and they should bo put into his wash-trough, after having been boiled or stewed. Potatoe3 stewed or boiled do a pig infinitely more good thari raw ones, and are next in point of nu triment to the different kindi cf meal. Glennys Farming. Braiding Straw.
