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

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.

all that have been recommended, di.-acardinj? them
all and falling back upon the Concord and Hartford
Prolific as vineyard varieties. 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

in Ulster Co., N. In a low valley, where the Isa

in August. I have seen it each of tbe three past sea- i

excepting last year, when the constant rains pre- j
