Fcknas, to whom all communications on "Agriculture should be addressed. Trees Injured by Rabbits. Next to the Gopher the Rabbits in this country, perhaps, injure fruit trees more than anything else. We have heard and read, of, and, tried many methods to prevent their dep redations on young apple and pear trees. The most -effective plan we have tried,' Is to wrap the body of the tree from the ground higher up than the rabbits can reach, with a strip of tarred rapt such as is usually used for roofing purposes. This paper costs but a song, and can WwrappetTand tied expeditiously; .-.The same paher can bo used for the second, and even the third time.: with care. Rabbits will not touch trees thus protected. c Blooded Horses. We have reliable information that there is a proipect of having in Ne braska in this vicinity another fine blooded horse, next spring. It is the horse imported by the Ohio importing association, and by them sold to par ties and presented to Gen. Sherman. We have not his pedigree, but have been promised it in case he comes to Nebraska. Speaking of blooded horses reminds us that Nemaha county has now the best Draft Stallion in the west. We refer to the black horse Lion, owned by Mr. Bush in the Phillip's neigh borhood." Our farmers should not for get that this horse Is in their midst. Glencoe, Judge Mason's thorough bred, is the roadster stock. lie can be seen at the Judge's stables, near Ne braska City. - There is a fine Kentucky thorough bred horse in Cass county. We are not in possession of the owners name. A stock company has been formed in New York, under the. corporate name of the" Whidock Exposition and Exchange Company." As we under stand it, this company introduces a new feature in the shape of a perpet ual agricultural and horticultural mu seum and show room, where it is pro posed to receive on permanent exhi bition samples of implements of all kinds, fruits, nursery commodities, Ac, and also for meetings or gather ings of cultivators, horticulturists, fr it growers, conventrtfris, discus sions, etc. v ine enterprise seems to be desirable for all classes," says the American Agriculturist. The details of this organization are too extensive for a newspaper notice, and we advise our friends to send for a circular by which they can be more fully and satisfactorily posted. Address L. Whitlock, 24o, Broadway, New York. Farmers of Nemaha County, will you write for your own home paper? We hope you will. The elections are now all over; soon your season's busy time will be through, and the long winter evenings on your hands. You can employ those evenings to no bet ter advantage than by jotting down your experience the past season, and communicating any new idea you may have formed relative to the vari ous branches of agriculture. Let your neighbor have the advantage of your experience, and you obtain his. No better plan or medium can be adopted than through the columns of your own home paper. Let us hear from you, friends. Suffolks. We see by Nebraska City papers that Hon. J. Sterling Mor ton has been getting a new enstall ment of Suffolk pigs. He obtained his present stock of John Wentworth of Chicago, 111. Mr. Morton has long been engaged In efforts to improve stock in Nebraska, and is deserving of great credit. In the swine line, we believe he has always favored the Suffolk. The details of his experi ments would be interesting to Ne braska stock growers. The fact that Mr. M. is now purchasing of Long John Wentworth is indicative of a po litical change of some kind hogs only, perhaps. - The Western Farmer is the name of a new agricultural paper published at Madison, Wis. Vol. 1 No. 1 Is be fore us. WTe say new paper. The Wes tern Fanner is," however, a continua tion of the Wisconsin Farrier. W.B. Davis, Esq., is editor, and proprietor. We have perused tjhe number before us with great pleasure, and have no hesitancy in saying that if future numbers are as good as this one, the Western Farmer will take place in the front ranks with agricultural papers. It is a large eight page weekly paper ; terms, $2 per annum. "Country Joe" is informed that the "mark of respect" to which he refers in his article in a late number of the Pre, to use the language of a pol itician, "conveys but a feeble expres sion" of our appreciation of his ser vices agriculturally. -If every county in Nebraska had an Oliver Haimon, agriculture would "leap for joy." We hope our friends Louis A, .Wal ker of Omaha, and C. H. Walker of Ashland, will not forget the long wiri' ter evenings to give us an occasional contribution to our "Agricultural De partment." We would be pleased to have them do so. . , "' . E. L. Raymond, of Hancock, New Hampsliire, writes the Country Qen tleinen that he raised 133 J pounds from one' pound of seed of the "Early Rose Potatoe. That beats our experiment. ( We are often asked "what do you think of the grasshoppers next year?" The question as stated, is akin to the one "what is your opinion of the next war?" Seriousty, wesuppose we can only await coming events. The grasshoppers tarried as usual in this vicinity during the latter part of the season, depositing, so far as our expe rience goeSj an increased number of eggs". They came -earlier this "season than before. We noticed ' millions of the young hatched out before the cold weather came. There are those who think the early deposit of eggs, and the advanced stage of incubation will result In destruction of the eggs. We hope, or at least wis h so. If the eggs hatch out in the- spring as usual, we must expect the usual depredations. .:. Tappaliannock. TS'heat. . A correspondent of the Agricultural Department at Washington, from Cof fee county, Tennessee, says : . "I received from your Department in November, 186G, five quarts of the Tappahannock wheat, Mour of which I sowed, and I think it the most desi rable varieties in this section. . Its vig orous growth, hardiness, early matu ring, freedom from smut and rust, and superior quality and yield of flour, all recommend it to our larmers." . We sowed some of the same wheat, derived from the same source. It was destroyed by grasshoppers. There was quite a quantity distributed here abouts. Will some of those who re ceived it let U3 know the results. The department desire to be kept posted as to seeds it distributes, either directly from the experimentor, or through the agricultural societies. "Country Jeo,'? Otoe county's practical exemplifier, ' communicates many good things to the columns of the Nebraska City Frees. He fur nishes the followingrecipe for making a pickel for both beef and pork, which he says he has tried for eigh teen years, and finds it "good as newy Take six gallons of water, nine pounds of good salt, three pounds oT coarse brown sugar, one quart of mo lasses, three ounces' of salt petre, and one ounce of pearlash or soda, mix and boil the whole well, and skim oil' all impurities.": filler meat should be slightly rubbed with line salt, and lie a day or two that the blood-may drain off, then pack in tight casks, and turn the pickle on coUi, let tnem reniam till sufficiently - cured for smoking, which will be about six weeks. Beet' or hams cured in this pickle iieeds no fresh nine." A slice cut from the ham is ready to co direct to the frying-pan: All the natural juices of the meat are retahred. It is none too pall, and is just salt enough. Properly cared for afterwards, it may Be kept Till nanu "come again." WniTLocic's Horticultural Re corder. We have before us a copy of a periodical bearing the above title, with which we' are well pleased; It is edited by Andrew S. Fuller, author of a book on the grape which we have read with more pleasure and profit than any otheron that subject. See prospectus in another column. i i ; - ' - t ' 'i i : Wm. M. Plant, of the firm of Plant & Bro.," agricultural dealers, St. Louis, died in that city Oct. 27. He was the origiual seedsman and dealer in im plements in St. Louis, and the foun der of the Journal of AgricttttUrc, un der its former title, Fanner1 sAdver tisci :".J :.i.iSb S .'!' Acknowledgment of Errors. When a man does wrong, let him admit the fact? Helicednoft publish it in anewspnper ; he has no occasion to tell his neighbors alKjut it,' or men tion it to his wife, unless he is blessed with one of good sound sense and a sympathetic nature, but, under any circumstances, it is wise-to admit the error in his own mind, and not begin to make excuses, for, if so, a repetition of the evi will surely follow. Of course this is in allusion to agricultu ral matters, for it would be perfectly impossible to allow the mind to dwell on all the follies and injustice which the best pf human nature is prone to- "Myj corn does not look so well as several pieces in the neighborhood" don't add mentally or otherwise to this, "but my land is not so good ; I could not get to work at planting soon enough, and my manure was not very good?' No! accuse yourself manful ly thus "It is useless to deny the fact, my manure was' poor, because ray stock lived bad ; my land was not plowed early enough, and has iiad crop after crop taken off without any return, excepting the slight applica tion this spring." A determination to change thi matter will produce a healthful state of mind, in other cases of mismanagement; the next year, not only will the corn land be ready as soon as the weather is warm enough to plant, but the manure; will be better in consequence of better feeding of animals, and also because, instead of lying iri the "yaM tiiriluuJldltb be put on the land at seed time, it was taken out inthe winterand turned over once ortwice in a heap before being depos ited finally on the ground. Then there will follow thorough cultivation be tween the rows and the' working of tlie other parts of the farmta3 the self accusation system has proved neces sary for snecessju'othef crops besides corn. , Let every farmer keep a diary, re cording every day's work, and com menting on, every .omission .he. finds he has made; stating therein any doubt in his mind as to whether a dif ferent course might not have been preferable, and even . making memo randa of the opinion of neighbors, of his sons,, or of any intelligent work man ; and, no matter how smart a man he may be, an after perusal may be profitable, and, withal, it will be real ly interesting to know in futuro.jcars what were his views at former periods of his life, for many deceive them selves in various respects when there is naught in black and white io prove the' exact state Tjf the case in point. "Great men never admit they have erredr, has been stated somewhere, but many a great man would be found to be far, inferior 'to those-who stand below him 'in the s'cale'bf society If cir cumstances t over which: no genius of his had control had not favored him. 7 TV 3M868.i TO" Clippings and Jottings Agricultural. :!::.! t:i r.v.

To tan any kind of skin with hair on we know 'of no more cneap anq simple, process than to apply to the fleshv-side. when" fresh and wet. "a mixture' of two parts of saltpeter and one' part of alum. These should be finely pulverized over ,every part of the skin ; double m ilesh to llesh, real up and let it lie a day or two ; then with a dull knife remove the meat and fat if any has been left. ( . ." ' '. .. , " After about half dry, ' commence rubbing and continue working until dry ; the skin will be found verj'nice,' white and pliable,, and the hair firmly set-' There is no process for making leather equal to that , of the regular bark tanning mode, and all large hides or skins should be thus treated. Small 'skins may be tanned by first packing in wet .ashes to remove the hair, and then. kept a few days in old, soft soap; wash thoroughly, and nib while drying. Skins thus tanned are very tough and plLablc, and answer. a good purpose for flail-strings, whip lashes, etc., if kept dry. There are several modes of quick tanning by .use of wheat bran and acids ;' but for common uses the above are cheaper and more simple, and an swer as good a purpose. Ohio firmer. , Apple Melange.

"Jtseat the whole to a stiff snow then turn it into a dessert-dish, and ornament it with myrtle or box " , A Delicious dish of 'Apples. take two pounds of npplef,' pare and core' them, slice them into a pan ; add one pound loaf sugar, the mice of three lernons, and the grated Tindof one.

I have inaugurated a reduction in the prlco of Clothing, probably nnparalled io th his tory of Nebraska, and In order that tha pub lic so long subject to the exhorbitant rates of hard times, may thoroughly comprehend and confide in my movement, I desire to say a few practical words about it. Jn the flrat place it is an indisputable, on-. . deniable fact that at the house of the Great Western Dry Good and Clothing Price Regula tor, the very best of clothing of all descrip tions is now selling at cash prices. No eon nivlng competitors can conceal or cancel tho fact,' Every citizen can practically authenti cate for himself by visiting tht Great Wes tern Regulator.' Hundreds are now rejoicing in Its truthhaving practically proved it. The next question is, why do I carry out such grand and wholesale red uction ? Head er, the answer is simple. . Necessity modiXIe and often abrogates all the laws of trade. I have an Immense stocA of assorted clothing on -hand. Via a liUle; time an important change in my Arm renders It absolutely nec essary that I should dispose of this stoc.' " Valuable as it is, this must be done. The I s of profit mae no difference-, ten art bound to sell owf stock. : To accomplish this we &now of no better way than to offer it to the public at 1U, original j.-oet.TlU3 lean afford to do nnder the circumstances, ad this Ian now doing. Let noraadly jealous rival cry "humbug." Let nobody soffer from a paralysis e( aston ishment.. Phenomenal aa may be the enter prise in the bnslnesa world, it ts simple, plain, unvarnished, fact. This splendid st--c of clothing at Great Weftern Emporium Ret;u-' lator Is selling at cost. ETCTy conceivable nr HcJi of dress which a 'man or boy, rich or Eoor, can need, may here be procured at tha bare ,-ost of material and making. ?Let no handsome bar-maids stare as muta " as flhes. And shallow waiters, frightened, drop their dishes." - . ' . -v.- m Tlia thing is a fact, and why it Is so wc havo briefly explained. It Is unnecessary to say any more. If any body desires to see our statements verified, Icthini visit our establishment The busy thtong of customers prt-wnt daily is the best argument nobody can resist. I Invite the whole city wtthln our hall. The freezing breath of winter is in the air, but we hold th antldotc.j i desire to injure no man 'a trad but I eannol undertake to be Influenced by anything but my own interest. I announced tbaf my stock Is selling at cot.t, and to prove It Fin-vita the inspect ka of all. It Is Impossibla to realise that I wUl be compelled to do tha 8aina.wlth my future stock.
