From a Siberian Crab apple tree
growing in our own garden, our little
boy has sold this season, twenty-four
dollars worth of fruit, besides what
was put up for use in the family. The
tree is twelve years old, and has pro
duced nearly as good a crop for four or
five years past. An Early Richmond
cherry tree, eight years old, produced
twelve dollarg in fruit this aeason. A
Dwarf Pear ten years old yielded this

are extraordinary yields. We men

Agricultural Advertising.
"We have an abidiug faith in fruit
growing in Nebraska, and our great
clject in consenting to inanacrc the
Agrieujtural Department of the A
vekttskk is to aid and encourage tree
planting. One way to accomplish
this, Is to let the people know when,
how, and at what prices, good and re
liable stock can be had. To this end
we are making agricultural advertise
. menU a feature in our operations. It
is our intention, and we wish it dis
tinctly understood by both advertiser
and reader, to admit no advertise-',
merits except from know reliable
nurseries, and for whose stock and re
liability we can fully vouch to our
farmers and others wishing supplies
iiotn parties may therefore govern
themselves accordingly. As we have
often heretofore -said,- we think it
much the safest and best plan to pur
chase direct from reliable nurseries.
Let Tliem Come.
We are pleased to learn that a large
delegation from north of the Platte
will be in attendance at our County
Fair. We feel sure in saying that the
people of this county will sustain the
reputation of Nemaha in exhibiting
its agricultural and mechanical pro
ductlons. Let all prepare and be on
hand.
T California Cm pes.
'Senator Tipton and Lis wife have
just returned from a pleasure trip over
the Unioo and Central Pimfie Rail
roads to-California. To Jlrs. Tiptoe
we are uzwtr nec;;,l pbnrr.ticn for a
sample of these fin a delicious grapes
for which California 4a so celebrated.
The specimens are of the Kowood
Muscat variety. It is a superb grape ;
bunches very large and well should
ered; berry large, of bright amber
color, with suirary muscat flavor. Of
course we cannot raise such grapes in
Nebraska out doors. They can be
crown, however", under glass. We
have a few of the vines of this and
other varieties of this class of grapes
growing, and intend providing them
withasuitablehouse. While of course
we yield the palm to California, that
on account of its climate it can grow
out door these large bunches and ber
ries, and of superior quality, tre will
not yield a "jot or tittle" to Califor
nia, or any ther locality, as to the
quality of some, at least, of our Ne
braska grown grapes. Take for in
stance-tlte DelavareandDiana, plant
ed in the proper soil, properly cared
for. and properly matured, and we
wiTT place the fruit in comparison with
any other grape, grown in any coun
try, soil, climate, or under and other
sun.

THE CROPS IN JULY.
Our attention is frequently called to
omissions in the premium list, both
for the Nemaha County and State
Fairs. , It is impossible to make a per
fect list; some articles will necessarily
be overlookedeven some important
ones. It is the intention to provide
for every worthy article on exhibi
tion, whether provided for In the pre
mium lists or not. To this end a
'Discretionary Committee" is ap
pointed whose special duty it is to
look after such matters.
Fixe Pears. Mr. Geo. W. liratton
of this place has presented us with
a specimen of Seedling Pear which
we "pronounce number one in all re

Mr. Bratton has some other very

produced forty-six pears measuring

The Pawnee Tribune says
prospective yield of corn was
better than this year, while potatoes
are so abundant mat it win not pay
hogs to root them out of the ground.
With retard to the yield of wheat
In this county it is much larger than
most people anticipated. But few
fields go lesj than 20 bushels and some
yield over 2-5. But there M ere a few
fields 'scabbed' so bad as not to be
worth cutting. The surplus wheat in
thi county M ill pobarbly be over 10,-
000 bushels."
The Nebraska city News says "the
corn crop of Cass and Otoe counties
ooks remarkably fine. Plenty of
warm weather and a late fall is all
that is required to secure the heaviest
crop ever produced in Nebraska."
Speaking of big apples the Nebraska
City Frcss says: "We saw speci
mens from Mr. Harmon's and Mr.
Masters' orchard, each of which
measured one good round foot in cir-
cumf?rence and were plump,- eoundj
and finely flavored."
