AGRICULTURAL. It. W. FURNAS, Editor. tWA Communications Intended forthii Depart- xaent should be addressed to the Editor. Nebraska. Tairs. The agricultural and mechanical Fairs held this season in Nebraska, have been, county Fairs, in Richard . on, at Salem ; Pawnee, at Pawnee City; Johnson, at Tecumsch, and Nemaha, at Brownville, and the State Fair at Nebraska City. We were able to attend only the two last named "TCe understand that the Fairs in Rich ardson, Tawneeand Johnson counties were successes, in all respects. In Pawnee and Johnson, the Fairs this fall were the first held in the counties, but gave entire satisfaction. The ed itor in chief of this paper has given the readers of the Advertiser, a de tailed account of both, the Nemaha count-, and State Fairs, and we will not now attempt to repeat what he has eaid. These agricultural and mechanical Fairs annual gatherings of people are grand institutions; and if there was not a premium awarded by a com mlttee, or a dollar paid therefor, by the society, the good accomplished is beyond computation. In fact speak -'ing of premiums we would like to see these Fairs held on the principle of "seeing and being seen." Bring your 6tock, products, Implements and wares together for a grand exhibition ; let exhibitors, inventors, owners and friends explain, test and expatiate, to heart's content. Then let public opinion, really, the greatest awarder and even law maker known, make the awards. Let the people come to see and get acquainted with each other; to compare notes ; to be instructed, and Instruct; a grand autumnal picnic. The true and grand objects of these comings together would be accomplish ed in this way, and the laborious and vexatious characteristics avoided. But to use an expression familiar to old Nebraskians, we 'have to come to pow er," and run Fairs in the "old style," which demands a vast amount of hard labor by a few, and often results in anything but general satisfaction. We have heard but few complaints, however, this year, and are waranted in the belief that all real friends of the State feel . that great good has been accomplished. "We hope to know next year, that county organizations exist in every county in Nebraska, and that our next State Fair will not be a whit behind its older sisterhood. Let us all commence now to work to this end. Kext State Fair. The next State Fair, as most of our readers are aware, is to be held at Brownville, on the Nemaha County Fair grounds, commencing on the third Tuesday of September, 1S70. "We do not intend to speak at large in regard to this matter now. But will tlmply say that the eyes of the whole State is on Nemaha county for the next Fair; that every farmer, me chanic and citizen of Nemaha are ex pected to do "their duty ; their whole duty, and nothing but their duty." This being done, Nemaha wears (he belt! She can do it we know she cUL Already wl have heard from all quarters, "let us go to work, and beat the world." As an officer of the . Board, we promise that the Premium List Bhall be without fait as to its pro visions all shall be provided for. The grounds and accommodations thereon shall be the same ; the houses and hearts of our people shall be ditto, and if the Grand Ruler over all, will smile on, and prosper the labors of the husbandmen, we will show such a display of agricultural products, and gathering of the people, as will astonish the most sanguine. Tbe American Pomologlcal Society, Ileld its twelfth annual session at Philadelphia, Sep. 15th lGthand 17th. The proceedings have not yet appear ed in full.

The next meeting of the Society will be held in Richmond, Virginia, September, 1S70. IVew Fruits. A great many new and valuable seedlings have been produced and pre tested this season, which should be named and further tested. Our seed ling peaches are particularly fine, They are principally, however, of late varieties. Mr, Jitters, of Nebraska, presented tome vt ry flue seedling apples, some of which were named. The Otoe Red Streak, Nebraskian, and Early Mar garet, were among the number. . The largest, and finest looking seedling apple we have seen, was presented at our County Fair, by Mr. Edward Ly anna, whose farm is about seven miles South-west from Brownville. It measured twelve inches in circum frcnee; flesh yellow with fine flavor; skin thin and tender; blush color; ri pens about the middle of September. We attempted to exhibit it at the Stale Fair, but it had entirely decay ed before that time. We exhibited a a portion of it to Judgo Mason, of Ne braska City, and Maj. Pearman, of Davenport, Iowa. It was pronounc ed No. 1. in all respects, by both gen tlemen. Owing to some little circum stances connected with the origin of the apple, Lyanna honored us by call ing it the Furnas apple. We appreci ate the compliment, and make our best bow to Mr. L., but really, and candidly, we are in Tavor of naming our fruits after localities, rather than men. The apple has not been named by the State or County societies, and we suggest that it be called the Ne maha Blush. We are preparing detailed, accurate and scientific descriptions of all Ne braska seedling fruits, for publication and filing with the State Horticultur al Society, and will be pleased to have all who have new fruits, furnish us with descriptions. We want all the characteristics of both, tree and fruits. Be particular in all the points. m i Planting-. Since our fine fruit display this fall, there will be a perfect mania for plan ting fruit trees. This is all right, and we are pleased with it. But we hope what is done will bo done well judi ciously done. Get good stock, plant it well, and take care of it. Remem ber "that eternal vigilance is the price of fruit." Don't undertake to have too large varieties of anything. All who have heretofore attempted to ex periment with endless lists of various fruits, have at last come down to a few leading and reliable varieties. P. T. Quix, who is, perhaps, the most extensive pear culturist in the coun try, has reduced his list, formerly of fifty varieties, to eight Of the end less variety of grapes, for instance, the general cultivator has use, real ly, but for four or five. The same may be said of apples. We do not wish to be understood as saying a word to dis courage the introduction of new va rieties. All fruit growers, however, cannot be experimentors. In fact but few men possess the requisite patience for this branch of fruitgrowing. Get your trees from reliable men ; direct from the nurseries, as far as possible, and let "mid He men," as a rule, go to the dogs. Next week we will pub lish a list of fruits known to be hardy and reliable in thl3 region, and also give details as to the best mode of planting and caring for trees. The State Fair. Will prove of great benefit to Ne braska. The display of Apples, Apri cots, Pears, Plums, Peaches, Cherries, Quinces, and other varieties of small fruits were splendid. That display will forever silence the croakers who have declared Nebraska not a fruit growing State. Nebraska City News. Yes, the fruit displayed at our Coun ty and State Fairs this season, has done as much real genuine good for Nebraska, as all else heretofore com bined. TheJ. H. Masters, the Judge Masons, the J. 8 Mortons, the James Greggs, the Bird Vowells, the W. S. Horns, the Doctor and Jesse Lowes, the Joel T. Griffins, the J. Q. A. Smiths, the A. J. Hanscoms, the Hi ram Aldermans, and more we might mention, and others whose names we cannot now call to mind, who had faith to plant trees ten, twelve and fourteen years ago, and follow it up to success, notwithstanding the "croa kers," wear brighter and more endur ing laurels to-day, than any other man or set of men in Nebraska. Their "foot-prints" are for all time. "Cast thy bread upon the waters; for thou shalt find it after many days." Nebraska Grown Chestnuts. We have before us, Chestnuts, grown from seed planted in Nebraska. They were presented to us by J. H. Mas ters, of Nebraska City, who is the oldest fruit grower In the State, and who raised these Chestnuts on his farm. The Grasshopper season has "come and gone," and we have all forgotten to congratulate ourselves that "they are no more." Not a hopper has so journed with us this fall, in this region. The soil is free from their pestiforous deposits, and spring vegetation has nothing to fear from that source. Thanks to "Him who tempers the winds to the Shorn Lamb." As President of the State Board of Agriculture, we thank E. A. Rieiil, Esq., of Alton, 111., for a collection, of grapes sent us at Nebraska City, for exhibition at the State Fair. They reached there the day after the Fair. We opened the box at the Seymour House, and with Dr. Miller, ed itor of the Herald, Omaha; J. 8. Morton, of the News ; Judge Mason and others we "sampled" the collec tion. We found the Roger Hybrids No. 1, Goetthe; No. 4, Wilder ; No. 15, Ag awam; No. 0. LIndly ; No. 41, Essex, Salem and Cunningham. They had been on the road too long, but were pronounced by all, very fine. We hope Mr. Rieiil will visit our next State Fair, in person, and bring with him Borne of his fine fruits. A Mr. Wioixs who resides near Nebraska City, has one hundred and Sixty colonies of Bees. He has sold, and has for sale, in all, this year, more than six tons of honey. Make your own figures, at 25 cts. per pound ! Hon. Geo. IIusMAX.the prominent vine grower of Hermau, Mo., writing us recently, says : "I am sorry I could nq attend your State Fair ; but I am very busy making our grape crop into wine about fifteen thousand gallons which takes all the time and attention I can spare." How does that grape crop suit our readers ? West of the Mis souri river! A Nebraska Farmer. We take great pleasare In publish ing the following letter from Mr. Jo-' sepii Loveless, who now resides on, and owns the farm originally made by Bird Vowel : London, Nemaha Co., Neb., Oct. 7, 18G9.tJ Sir: .Co). Furnas wished farmers last spring to furnish him a list of trees, vines and hedges planted, this season.

All have grown well, and are in splendid condition I have made fifteen" hundred "rails from timber grown on this farm From one tree I made 57 rails. I do not miss what I have cut. Col. Furnas thought some time ago, that Mrs. Loveless was the "main ?2ring" on this farm. He will see that ITiave given the gophers some of the "spring" (rap. I caught all in a steel trap except three, two of which I killed with the spade, and Mrs. L killed one with a hoe. I lost one trap and broke one. If this scribble is worth anything to your readers, give It to theni.f Yours, ' ' : Jos. Loveless. In addition to what Mr. L. has planted this season and grown in Nur sery rows, he has the largest orchard in the county : About ten thousand apple trees ten and twelve years old, about as many more six and eight years old, and about three thousand peach trees eight and ten years old. He has sold hundreds of bushels of apples and peaches this year and last Ed. Dcst A Hawvei, who sold Nursery stock extensively v this " summer, for fall delivery here, inform us that their stock will be delivered at Brownville, November 1st." Parties interested will call punctually on that day. . TnE Bio Apple. Through the kindness of J. Dan. Lauk, of the Ne braska City News, we fell heir to the big apple from- Cass Countyand ex hibited at the late Stato Fair. It was of the "Sweet Paradise" variety. It weighed 29 ounce's and : measared-lG inches in clrcumfrence. It. has been forwarded to Gen. Capron, U. S. Com. of Agriculture, at Washington, with a request that Profi Glover make a cast of it for filing in our State Hor ticulture Society. Parlin Orndorf A Co., of Canton, 111., manufacturers of the' celebrated Clipper Plow, exhibited an elaborate ly finished specimen of this plow at the State Fair, to which the first pre mium was awarded., Mr.' Orndorf. who was present, generously donated the plow to our State Board of Agri culture, to be offered as a premium, next year, for the greatest number of bushels of corn raised from & given number of acres. The Board accept ed the present with a vote of thanks, and by resolution, will offer it for the greatest quantity of corn raised on 20 acres of ground. The St. Louis Democrat, in giving accounts of the St. Louis Fair, speak ing of apples "says: "Some apples were labled 20 ounces, and appearance indicated that weight." That don't come up to Nebraska'e 29 ounce apple. When Missouri or any other State beats us, all we have to say is, we will try again. Until that is done howev er, we will wear the belt quietly. . : - . 1 1 , i in . n i i That honored and venerable fruit grower and disslminator,' Marshall P. Wilder, for years past.Presidentof the National Pomological Society, says in a private letter received by us a few days since:. "I was deeply in terested in the account you gave of fruit culture In. your State. When did this first commence ?". , A few of the faithful commenced in 1854, '55 and 756. and have been at it everBince. They nave in every in stance been paid for their labor. This year has produced the finest fruit ev er grown anywhere," and now all doubts seem to be removed, and every body will plant trees, as they should have done years ago. . ' ' We made many new and valuable acquaintances at the late State Fair. Among the number Gen. Wm. DCane Wilson, Editor of the Iowa Home stead, of Des Moines.-, He went home full of Nebraska, particularly because of its fine fruit show. . We expect to hear a good account of our young State, from the General, aud hope he will not neglect to furnish us with an exchange.- , . Jutige Mason has just been convert ing his Clinton Grapes ; into k wine. The grapes, when we saw them on the vines, were certainly the finest display, we have had the pleasure to look at, anywhere.". - We take pleasure in calling" atten tion to the advertisement of J. C. Plumb, Milton, Wis. He claims to present a rare stock. We know him to be a devoted and scientific Ponio logisf, and can safely 'recommend him and his stock to our readers. State Horticultural Society. During the State Fair, a State Hor ticultural Society was formed Presi dent J. H. Masters, Nebraska City ; Cor. and Rec. Sec. R. W. Furnas, Brownville; Treasurer Judge O. P. Mason, Nebraska" City. -A large number of persons enrolled themselves as members, and the books are still open. 'Membership fee, one dollar, which can bo paid to either of the above named officers. Another meeting will be held in Januiry, at which time a Board of directors will be elected, a code of By-Laws adopt ed, and other regulations made for the successful operations of tha Soci ety. The President and Secretary were authorized to collect and forward to the Agricultural Department atWash ington, in the name of the Society, as full a collection of Nebraska fruits as can be obtained. The Secretary has that matter in charge and has been forwarding as above, and will contin ue todoso as long as the season willad mit, and specimens can be obtained. All persons having fruits they wish to have sent on, can be accommoda ted by forwarding to the.Secretary at Brownville. Our old friend M. W. Phillips, Editor of the Southern Farmer, Chat awa, Miss., while wearing silvered locks of between sixty and seventy winters, still has, as he says, "a heart as gay as a school girls," and is as fond of a joke and fun as when we first knew him long years ago. In 1859 friend Phillips sent us a tiny ejar of Brazillian Pop Corn. Last year we sent him an ear, the product of the one sent from him, but increased to a respectable sized ear by growing in our soil. A few days since he return ed us an ear grown from Nebraska seed, with the following jocular salu tation : .

I have never indorsed the character or usefulness ot vines, or other articles or any description, and would not at my present stuge or uie were it not for twn reasons which seem sulTicient. First. I know the Walter urarte. win meet the pre Indices w desnre&il throughout the country, caasd by the wort iilessnesa In mmt localities of many of its predecessors. Sec ond, because I can say from personal observation that the Walter is the best variety I have had any knowledge of. and I think I have cultivated nearly all that have been recommended, discarding them all and falling back upon the Concord and Hartford Prolilicas vineyard varieties. I am inu-rest.l in knowing that the fruit of the WiUrr grows hirtcer each year as the vine grows older, being laAtyeur fully one-third larrer tlmn it was two vein- hio It grows well ; sets Imit well. I have seen it ripe sev eral times before Hartford, and I have never seen any mildew on its fruit or on iw large and thick, but Delaware shaped foiiiige. The I'.avor of the l'ruit I think superior to any other variety. You say In your circular It is a seedling f the Delaware and iana; I think the character of each of these ties is quite distinguishable in the Waller, particu larly that of the Delaware. I uImI think it would make a wine of hiich charncter. I have visiterl it nnuallr since it first bore, six vers nun tiiro tim- n Ulster Co.. N. Y.. in n low vul'ev. iir ih.

I have seen tt each of the three past sea sons in Poughkeeinie. ripening at the san tim excepting Utt year, when the constant rains pre vented ail varieties from maturing at their usual time, but it perfected its fruit hv the middle of Sep tember. The rntins of the lit mentioned crop I have seen and eaten, whi li were good. From Its succeding in the low valley and tenacious clar ot jvioaena, ana also in the dry slatev nosition in ;o!iirhkeersie. I think it will tt wu .,,t,..i .v. varietl sertions of our country.
