As our readers are aware, we have always personally been in favor of a general Herd Law. While a member of the Legislature, we voted, under Instructions from what we believed to bo a majority of constituents, against the measure. Our convictions, how ever. a3 to what is the real interests of this prairie country has never chaug ed, but grown stronger by experience and observation. The Journal of Agriculture, of St Louis, published an article pome time ago, headed "Nebraska State Board of Agriculture," in which it referred to efforts in our Legislature In regard to the Herd Law and from wmcn we extract the following: "The State Board lives on a epare diet, and yet appears to le vigorous It received only fGOO from the State last vear: but after paying all expen pes $73 were left in its treasury. But tho Board is composed of live men, who believe in dowg something aa well as talking about it. They have at their recent meetings discussed three questions of the highest impor tanco to the State : Introduction of Ttxas Cattle, Tree Planting, and Herd Law. A large portion of tho most fertile part of that State Is nearly destitute of timber. Hence tho imiortance of planting croves. But to do this suc cessfully the cattle must be kept from tho young trees, as well as from other crops, wuicu must ue raised (11 raised at all, in many cases) on laud not en closed; so that the hrst tiling to be done is to take care of the stock. Two plans are proposed; first, to pass a law requiring that all stock shall be re strained by the owner from encroach ing on the cultivated fields of other persons, and leaving it for each coun ty to adopt or not, as they may choose second, to make such a law at one supreme and binding on the whole State. We sincerely hope that the expert ment will be tried. Let Nebraska adopt such a law and her treeless prairies would soon bo dot ted over with rustic homes, around which would rapidly spring up groves more or less extensive, transposing the present desolation into a scene of un- equaled beaut jT. under such a law may be that occasionally a poor man might not be able to keep a cow, as he now does, by letting her live largely at the exiK'Xiseuf his neighbors. But where one sucli c;uso would occur we mlht reasonably expect to see a score of poor men making homes lor tucm selves on the prairies, who are now doterred from such an undertaking bv tho want of means to fence the few acres they can buy. As an induce ment to immigrants we tninu a -new prairie State could adopt no more sue ccssful measure than the passage of i herd law like that now advocated bv prominent men in Nebraska Enterprise of the "Rural JTcw Yo rlter." Our friend, D. D. T. Moore, publish er and proprietor of this magnificent agricultural journal, seems to be pos sessed of a Moore discontented dispo sition than men generally, a by the issue of the 10th of last month, he showed himself not satisfied with the laurels already gained iu the greatly enlarged size and other additions to his paper, but has been getting up stil Moore improvements. Iu this issue he has given us decidedly tho finest poultry engraving yet mado in this country, embracing some twelve of the choice and prize poultry at tho re cent New York Poultry Exhibition Every one of the birds thus delineated will boar critical inspection, and the grouping also is admirable, Moore so than usual. Moore subscribers to his Tery valuable paper will doubtless re- "milt from thi3 Moore than ordinary enterprise, wmcn, we wouia suppose would cost near five hundred dollars as we observe that an extra thick raper had to be manufactured for the purpose. The motto of the Rural Xctv Yorker is MLxcelsIor,u and we think he Is far Moore entitled to it than many who have claimed it. May his shadow never be less, but always juoorc. XTacticai u armcr, I'aca. loes some one want to accept our proposition made some time ago, to improve forty ftcres of number one fruit land near this place for half o it: we 10 iurnisn an trees, vmes ana plants? If so, come along. Now is a goed time to clear up tho ground and get It ready for fall planting. A little figuring will show this to be a mag' nificent offer. a nee master in maiana lias sue ccs-sfully protected his bees from the disease which has swept the hives throughout the eountrv. by feeding them with salt, rye flour and sugar woneu to the conMsteucv oi honev. Tlie Antl-Uors Racing: Slove- . ment. There is ageneral movement among the true friends of agricultural im provement, throughout this country, against the toleration of horse racing at agricultural fairs. The Patrons of Husbandry have co- rlarwl tvr Acalnst the practice. The only plea upon which it is defended Is that of financial expeuioucy iuai fairs cannot be sustained without horso race3 to attract visitors. A prize fight between two celebrated pugilists would irobably attract a much larger num ber of paving visitors, inciuuing me whole class who would not pay to get nto agricultural fair grounds if there were no horse racing, and the whole breed of physical improvers who feel more interest in contests of muscle than of mind, and find more enjoy ment in a dog fight, than in any move ment for the social and intellectual mprovement of their fellow men.' "Let turds or reamer noes togeui- er,".and let there be "a place for ev-; erythingand everything in its place," and then there will be a speedy end to lorse racing at agricultural fairs. . "It is." ays Mr. Jb aile, Jate rresi- dentof the New York State Agricul tural Society, "undeniably true that the racing and trotting or horses, whether at fairs or upon the track, is accompanied by falsehood, trickery, rofanity, and the excessive use or in toxicating drinks." we would say kindly to those who advocate horse racing on the plea of improving the breed of fast horses, is not what Mr. Faile says of the bail tendency of horse racing, true And If the exclusion of such exhibitions from our fair grounds would have the effect of discouraging improvement in the breed of race horses, is not that preferable to sacrificing, endangering moral improvement in our. breed of men ? ThaV the question ! Minneso ta Monthly ; We are among thoso who have al ways held that the exercises at Agri cultural fairs should bo legitimately applicable to agricultural pursuits, and while personally opposed to nor3e ra cing, have beon compelled to yield to pressure and seeming expediency. In new countries like ours, it has, here tofore, Beemed necessary to resort to every expedient to get out people enough to pay expenses: there was actually not sufficient real agricultural Interest exercised to get up fairs and run them on a purely agricultural ba sis. The people of the county, terrl tory or state came together as much to meet each other annually, and have a general good time, and exchange of ideas as anything else. And, by-the- by, this is one of the grand features of our fairs, and should not be lost sight of. We are glad, however, to see 1 growing disposition to make agricul tural and mechanical fairs purely ag ricullural and mechanical, and to dis pense with every demoralizing feature of a gambling tendency. We like as well as any man living to see a trot ting, pacing, running or walking race by horses like to see tho grand, dis play of "bone and sinew, n but when gone into lor purely gambling pur poses, and with the surroundings usu al, we are free to say fairs are not tho place for them. Wheat. That the region Wct-t of the Missis sippi, is to be the great wheat grow ing section of the world, is fast becom ing apparent, Tills is clear to every observer of ordinary intelligence, up on the subject. The soil, climate, extent of prairie, facility with which machinery can be emplayed in sowing and harvesting the crop, cheapness of transportation and nearness to market all combine to show our statement true. Going further, let us look at the figures. It appears from the Reportof the Bureau of Statistics, that the region West of the Mississippi, in 1857, produced, in rouud numbers, 2-3, 000,000 bushels of wheat, or onc.tucvcnth of all the grain in the Union ; in 1SCS the same Terri tory produced, in round numbers, Co, 000,000, or onc-tldrdof all the grain in the Union; an increase of two hun dred and sixty percent.; yet, while the "West has thus increased, the amount Kastof the Mississippi has not iu creased at all. It is confessed that all the West contains, no better wheat growing sec tion than this part of the State of Mis souri. The oot of production is less here, while the average crop teas large as anywhere else, and facilities for market are superior. . The average production per acrej in this county, is twenty bushels and is grown with very little expense. We buy raw prairie and enclose it in the spring; break it up in the summer; sow the crop in the fall by machinery; and, in .the ensuing summer, harvest and thresh it by machinery, and mar ket the result for cash and tho ' pro ceeds will more than pay for farm im provements and cost of production. Some two years ugo, our good friend, Gen. Pratt, of Linneus, byught a farm and improved it at aa "expense of less than six thousand dollars and sowed it to wheat; last summer he sold the crop of a single year, and received iu cash twelve thor.and dollars!? We know many another that has done as well! . But the wheat growing capacity of our county has never been tested. Let us see, for a moment, what she is equal to in the premises. We have in round numbers, 430,(O0 acres of land in this county, one-third of which, or 113,3o3, is timber; the balance, 287,000 rich, rolling prairie, admirably adap ted to wheat growing. Suppose one half of this last number, or 143,33."$, be devoted to wheat growing, what then would be the extent of production and revenue? The amount of wheat grown would be i!,SG'J,G0), which, at 1.50 per bushel the lowest possible market rates would make $-l,o00,0)0 in round numbers. What would be the results finan cially cf such an operation? This whole body of land can be bought at Slo per acre, thus costing $2,14:),tj4 : thus, by the first crop of wheat, ami in a single year, the whole land would be paid for, and a balance of $1,150,000 left, cut of which . to pay costs of production, interest on capi tal, fcc. What is true of the whole tract, is true in detail of every farm of 1C0 acres, more or loss, as the means of the purchaser may enable him to buy and farm. Mizzourl Messenger.

I have een it ripe sev eral time before llartford, audi have never seen any mildew on Its fnilt er on its large and thick, but ivlaware shaped foliage. The ilavor of the fruit I think superior to any other variety. You say in vsir circular it Is a seedling of the Delaware'and l)iana; I think the character of each or these varie ties is quite distinguishable In the WalUr, particu larly that of the Delaware. I alsd think it would make a wine of hieh character. I have visited it annually rlnce it flrstliore, siz years ago, three time in Ulster Co., N. Y.J in a low valley, where the Isa bella seldom ripens, and each time it was fnlly ri;e in August. I have seen It each of the three pa.st sea sons in Pougbkeepsie, ripening at the same time. excepting last year, when the constant rains pre vented a:l varieties irom maturing at ineir usual time, but it perfected its fruit by the middle of s-p-tember. The mir-iim of the last mentioned crop I have seen and eaten, which were good. From itn suersstiiig iu the low valley and tenacious clay of Modena, and also lir the dr j slatey position In Pouphneepsie, 1 think it wiT bi will adapted to the varied sections ol our country. ou may make whatever use of these opinions vou deem proper.
