' ' ' ' ' PrrmiuB lAt Agrlctrl fiMUty.1 Amwtln? of the officers and maTmjrer of the" Nemaha County AgrrlrnltriTnl and Me chanical Association Is en I led for Monday, Kay 21st, 19, at which time it is expect! the Committee appointed at the Annual Meeting to prepare a Premium hist, will re- crder of the Present The Crop Prospects In Xcmalia County Notwithstanding the backwardness eCihe Spring, End the devastation of grasshoppers in sonze portions of this county, we are warranted In saying that the crop prospect was never more fiattering; is well advanced, and loots well. The breadth sown was never so , large, nor promised better. There ha3 been a great deal of Barley sown this Spring, and as a rule, prom ises wclL The grasshoppers have ta ken a particular liking to it, aud where they abound, have cut it badly. 8ome fields are entirely destroyed, and Lave been marked off and planted to corn. Oats look well. Early Potatoes and Corn are up, and if present pros pects continue, the farmer will be am ply rewarded for his labors the pres ent season. "What we say as to the unusual width of wheat sown this season, Is equally applicable to all other classes of crops. The average planted this season far exceeds that of any other. The fruit prospects were never more cheering. A good many tree3 were Injured by the winter; owing, we think, to improper cultivation and care. Teaches will be something shorter than last year. Grapes and Apples will be equal at least, ' to any ther season, rears are far ahead of anything before. ,-. . We will take It as a great favor If those who have planted either fruit or forest trees, or both, this season, will furnish us the extent of their opera tions for publication. The Peach crop was supposed by many to have been winter-killed. From representations made by our ex .changes, we feel safe in saying that throughout the country, there will be a fair crop. L .. Mr. Peet, of Weeping Water, Cass County, in this State, has planted, this year, one hundred dollars worth of Osage Orange Seed. Mr. Cole, of the same locality, has planted 00,000 young cottonwoods this Spring. He has planted with a spade, on ground broke last year, in rows two feet by eight. "Express Robbery." The Lincoln Commonwealth copies rir article on "express robbery," and adds the following: - -. " "We can xvit that In the Express records of Lincoln.

A mail carrier found that there was a package directed to the lady in inn n.f ,r.nfrht itwmiM hea kindness to advance the charges and deliver it to her. lie did so.

Dee Keeping. All lovers of Agriculture, Horticul turc, Pomology, and kindred branch cs, love or ought to Bees. We in tend, after a little, to write what we know, and reprint what others more posted know, as to Bee Keeping their management and results. The pres ent month and next, are perhaps the most important season, especially in producing colonies, and preparing for the collection of honey. We have, as yet, no experience with Italian bees, but have made arrangcraenta for a few Queens, and will introduce them this Cprlng. For the present, we copy from the Rce Keeper's Journal an excellent ar ticle, written by Mrs. Ellen Tcppeh, of Iowa: The important work for the bee keeper In May is to encourage every way the production of brood. The workers reared in this month are the ones that store most of the surplus honey Without goodly numbers, no colony can do much at business. Let a hive have no honey on hand in this month and though they may gather enough to keep them from starving, they will not progress with their brood but wit till honey is abundant. Then workers wrill be reared, in time to be consumers only. We do not believe in feeding when bees have honey enough, to encourage thera in rearing brood steadily from March until . white- clover blooms. If they have net enough fox-this, give them more. Every hive Bhould now be well fill ed with brood.' Italian colonies will have it even to the outer combs. If this is cot their condition, some thing is wrong with them. If you wish to increase your number of colo nies, allow but a little surplus room now; but if you wish to prevent swarming put on the whole comple ment. Abundant room is not a sure preventative of swarming, but if it is civen to the bees early, they often take possession of it and do not swarm. We have had them swarm when working in boxes that would held sixty pounds or more, and again we have- known then to fill several sets of boxes and mal e no preparation for swarming. All who wish to divide their bees in the best manner, should in the lat ter part of this month rear young leens sufiicient for all the newcol- ' they wish to make so that when ;es are divided both the old and p new will have a fertile queen. This is little trouble compared with the great benefit.- If one part is left to rear a queen, after the division", is, made, full three weeks must-elapse before more eggs are hatched, whereas, If a qneen is given to each part, both are iu" working order" at once.: If a cold sttrm occurs the last of May, look well to all hives. .. The very strongest some times sutler at this season; having used up old stores, they are now dependent on what they gather from day to day, and if confined for several days to the Mve they arc In danger, if not of per ishing at least of receiving a serious cheek. A pound or two of sugaT made into a pyrup will give them timely succor. All hives should be fn readiness for swarming time, and watch kept; some seasons Italian colonies swarm in May, unless divided. CHOPS. From our exchanges we glean the following items In regard to crops : The Albia (Iowa) Union reports an exceedingly fine prospect for spring wheat in that section. The winter wheat is not so good. . - The St. Joseph (Mo.) Jlcrald of the 11th, Bays: "From farmers from all parts of the country, here to attend court, we learn that there will scarcely be a half a crop of winter wheat. In some parts of the county a considera ble portion of the winter wheat has been plowed up and planted in corn. Near Ilorse Shoe Lake the grasshop- Eere are coming out in immense Burn ers." The Clark County (Wis.) Republi can learns that the winter wheat looks well and promising. The Jackson (Mich.) Citizens of the 11th says: "The wheat was never bet ter at this time of the year. The fruit crops, without exception, are now showing a prospect of a large yield." The Winona (Minn.) Republican of the 12th says : " 'I am Inclined to the belief,' said an observing gentleman residing in the country, to us, the other day 'I am Inclined to the be lief that this is to be an old-fashioned wheat year.' An old-fashioned wheat year, in Minnesota, with good soil and careful tilliage, implies an average yield of from 20 to 2-5 bushels per acre. Whether the result this years will justify our friend's prediction we can not say, but the prospect thus far Is certainly very good for its realization. The breadth of ground sown to wheat this year is said to be largely In excess of any former year." Pinclifngr In. Mr. A. S. Fuller says : 1. It is difficult to give directions that will suit all localities and soils. In regard to pinching back the young canes of raspberries, my practice is to pinch back blackberries but once or twice In the season, according to the strength of the plants, and then only 41 l I a T r wib mam vuuv is cfieesea, as x - preier to let the side shoots grow their whole lengtn, and prune them back in wm ter or early in the enrintr. I usuallv commence pinching off the main cane in July, and if tne upper bud3 start and grow too strong, I check them again in August; but never later than the first of September. Late summer pinching or pruning is always injuri ous, particularly n tne plants are growing very vigorously, because they are very likely to produce new shoots which will be killed by the frost. Be sides this, the fruit buds which are relied upon for the next season's crop win sometimes start in tne fall, and of course, be destroyed by the first frost. I have never found it necessa ry to check the growth of raspberry plants in summer, and 1 doubt if it is ever ueueuciai. ine duration or raspberry and blackberry plantations, will depend entirely upon tne soil and care given mem. rrobaoiy about five years is the average duration, but I have known some to be as good at fifteen years, as they were at three or four years. 3. Plowing the soil up to the plants In the full is certainly to be recom mended for both raspberries and blackberries, but the . soil should be made level again in the spring. Ilovr Shall we Plant Grapes. The following article we copy from Col. Colman's Rural World. As it is in exact accordance with our ideas, and corresponds with our experience, we copy it entire : There is much to learn on this sub ject, on which there are so many con flicting ideas floating about. Whether we shall plant deep or shallow, will depend very much upon the character oi tne sou natunury, or by artificial preparation. If the soil is good and the sub-soil Is cold and wet, deep holes are an injury. If the soil is dry, warm, and the sub-soil gravelly, deep eus cs.rn.-ui.iai. xi nie son is ani' ficially prepared, so as to become horn ogenecus texture to the depth of two- ana-a-naii or tnree leet, tnere Is con slderable latitude in planting, al tliougli we prefer to plant deeply in sucn cases. Another rxdnt of importance In planting is, how shall we manage the roots? Shall wo cut them off close to the cane, or have them loner? This will verv iartrelv denend unon the nature of the roots of the vine, or mode by wnicn tne Plant was onjnnaiiv nro duced. There are some plants, produced from both cuttings and layers, that are a mere mass of small vegetable fibres too small to have any effective vital force, especially if once permit- ea to flrv rmt. or h pxrnfs.pd t.n nntlnn of the light. These are much better cut back to very near the stem of the plant, bo as to get rid of as much in- lured or feeble fibre as possible, and induce the formation of more power- full roots, even If much fewer In num ber. We have had to cut back such to within an Inch of the stem, and ob tained a healthy root formation and strong growth. But we have had lay- .1 f . a 1 r . era, iuiu la a particular sinirie-eve plants, that had from five to ten roots eacn, as thick as the main stem, and tnree feet lonsr : and if the Question Is. how long shall we have these roots ? we 6ay cut as little off as possible, if you remove an tne dried or decayed root. Much of the material that is to sustain the vital force of the plant is stored up in these roots ; and in pro portion as these are destroyed or im- S aired, the plant is enfeebled and its evelopement retarded.

I am interested in knowing that the fruit of the Waller crows utreer each year as the vine grows older, being last year fully one-third larrrer than it was two years ajto. It grows well : sets fruit welL I have seen it rii sev eral times oenire nuniurn, ana i nave never seen any mildew on its truit or on its lanre ana thick, but Iinlnware shaped foliaee. The flavor of the fruit I think superior to any other variety. You say la your circular it Is a seedling of tbe Delaware and Diana; I think thecharactcr of each of these varie ties is quite distinguishable In the Walter, particu larly that of the IwlaWare. I alsd think ft would make a wine of hicta character. I have vlt.ited it 1 annually since It fl rst bore, six years ago, three timet in Ulster Co., N. In a low valley, where the Isa bella seldom ripens, and each time it was fully ripe in August. I have seen it each of tbe three past sea- i sons in Pouj;h.keeKie, ripening at the same time, excepting last year, when the constant rains pre- j ventea an varieties rrom maturing at tneir usual time, but it perfected its fruit by the middle of Sep tember.
