AGRICULTURAL. It, W. FURNAS, Editor. y All Communications Intended for this Popart inent should be fcddressea to the Kditor. Planting Trees. Last wetk we jiromi.ed an article for this issue of the Advertiser, on tree r.lantinff. To rive a detailed article touching &U the points on this iartic vir.r wnnld rpouirethis whole " , j j - i i page of our paper. . As to the proper time for planting, Fftll or 8nrinF there is difference of . . . . . . . . m ,, onmion. We would ilant in tne iaiu - - - and for tne following reasons, nisa mistaken idea that a tree is entirely dftrmnnf. durinn- the winter months, ' It performs, during that time, some of the ground the peach tree is dead and with snow. So unexpected and sud .It. most Instant functions. T. out of the vay, or cn be cut down S&taS; a simple expression, it gets ready for fpring work. In cases of transplant ing, the pruned, or cut roots, callous, (which they must do before they begin to grow,) and in most instances send out the small rootlets, or feeders, and begin, or are ready to take up the - nourishing properties of the soil. True, all this takes place in cases of ppring planting. In fall planting, however, we have all this, the start of spring planting, and actually gain, at least three months in growth in one season. Again, the ground is in better con- dition In fall, and as a rule we have more time to cive to Dlantinz. and consequently it is better done. It is urged as an objection to fall planting, that the ground does not become suf ficiently "packed down" before freez- ing veather, and a3 a result the roots are liable to suffer. When planting is done In the fail, the ground should be "heaped up" around the tree from four to six inches higher than is de cerned should remain, and raked away again to the depth it is to remain In the spring or what Is equally as good, heavily mulched with straw, or litter of some kind. This extra work or care is worth more to the tree than it costs. Perhaps the next consideration would be the location on which to plant north, south, 'east or western slope. It we could have choice we would not prefer a slope at all, but would select the highest, dryest piece of ground we could get. If compelled to select a slope, it would be northern, western, eastern or southern, in the order named. The toil should be well prepared before planting : well and deeply stirred. For planting small lots we recommend regular trenching On elopes, or hill sides, all plowing should be done crosswise with the hill or 6lone. to prevent washing. The - . . I Holes lor planting snouiu oe aug out at least twentv inches deen. and wide enough to give every root its natural position. Plant about two inches deeper than the tree before grew. Before planting the tree should be judiciously pruned. To tell another just how this should be done, is impos sible. The condition of the tree, its necessities and the judgement of the pruner, alone determine thisoperation If the tree has beeu well taken up, (which, by-the-way, is a very import ant point,) and well preserved, this task will be less difficult. If, on the contrary, the tree has been badly taken up roots ruthlessly mutulated and roots exposed to sun and air until badly withered there is an ugly and difficult job on hand. The essen tial points to he understood are, first, that the tree has been removed from the ground, and isolated from all that gave it life ; second, that It must again be committed to the soil, and all aid possible given it to commence opera tions again. Both roots and top should be pruned with a slmrp, clean cutting blade. The more roots especially the smaller . fibrous ones the better. Is o bruised or lacerated roots should be permitted to remain. The cutting ehould be smooth and fresh at plant ing, and the slope or curf, if any, from the lower side of the roots. The top should then be pruned for two purposes, particularly; to give pre ponderance to the roots and future Ehhpe to the tree. In the spring, when growing commences, and pro gresses during the season, the roots and leaves are mutual assistants and co-laborers. The roots extract nour ishment from the soil, and the leaves acting as the lungs do the breathing. The roots commence labor and the leaves 60on follow. The object in pruning should be to so ballance and regulate this mutual labor between roots and leaves, as to facilitate their operations. The roots should have a preponderance over the top. This 13 an extensive, and to us the most in teresting feature, or characteristic in plant growings But wehave nottime or space to go farther into details. After the hole is dug and ready to receive the tree, let the earth bo well loosed and fresh in the bottom; throw n a shovel full of soil ; set in the tree; being careful to see that every root assumes, as near as may be, Its origin al and natural position. Throw in loose soil until the roots are well cov ered ; then throw in enough water to make a thin mortar of all the soil in the hole; now take hold of the body of the tree and gently churn it up and down until this mortar or mud settles well around every root and fiber; then fill up the hole and tramp dcrn the earth well about the tree. As be fore said, if planting is done in the fall, heap up the dirt about the tree, or mulch It deeply. If in the spring, leave the ground about the tree, if anything, a little hollowing, that it a At J ? m 1 A may caicn me rains, uue uuiicuiiy In this open prairie country, of our is the winds. It will pay to stake all trees of any size. We have said nothing as to size or age of trees in this article. We have, cowever. ireauenuv exnressea our views cn this point. We not only advise, but urge the planting of young, email trees, especially ir they are brought from a distance. We know that most persons have an idea that the older and larger a fruit tree is, the Booner iney will get fruit. This is a grand mistake. It can only be true, perhaps, where trees are very carefully taken up, and put in the ground again umncavxicbj. As a rule, and when trees are shipped any distance, a one year apple tree is preferable to a three year old one. They cost les3 ten cents in place of thirty less for trans portation ; less work to handle them; less work to plant; are surer to live? have better and more roots according to their eire; are more easily adapted to a hew soil ; you can train the tops more as you want them; and in nix ucars then arc aftcad of your three C7 - w " vear old trees in all respects. In our oninion vou will ret a bearing orchard j sooner witn one year om trees, sooner with one year old trees, than with three or older year tree. As to distance apart, we plant apples I . .. r . . j i. l At,rnnn iniriy ieei, anu a peacu urv wtnctw I . . eacn appie. auc peacu win - protect the apple for a few years, and bv the time the apple needs all the and used for fire wood.

Peach tree wood makes the best of fuel, and a few acres managed in this way will furnish any farmer with all the fuel he needs. Standard Pears we plant twenty feet apart, with peach between each one Dwarf Pears ten feet ; cherries sixteen feet, with something between each for the present. Currants and Gooseber ries four feet. "We plant these, how ever, alternated between other trees. w They are much better renewed every few years, and can, when thus plant- ed, be easily removed when the space t, T i LI i T in J iwjjuciirauuu samewa3r.

The Plattsmouth Herald copes our article, commenting on the State Jour naVs remarks relative to the coming State Fair, and adds the following: "We fully concur in the ideas of Col. Furnas that Brownville is the best located town in the State at which to hold an agricultural fairat the pres ent time. We hope to have the btate Fair at Plattsmouth Boon, and believe the day is not far distant when even Lincoln can be reached with ease from all parts of the State, as our railroad svstem is developed : but for the pres-1 v . . . eut, JirownvilJe is the place, and Uass county endorses the selection. Last week, the representative of. a single nursery in one of the eastern States, delivered at this pointalone be tween thirteen andfourfeen thousand dollars worth of stock. This looks like tree planting. Take care of your trees, friends! Plant well, and look after them here after. It is with pleasure we place before our readers tne loiiowing letter irom F. P. Elliott, Secretary of the American Pomological Society, Cleve land, Ohio : Cleveland, 20th Oct., 1809. R. TT. Furnas. Esq. Dear Sib: Arriving home from toy Eastern trip of four weeks, I find yours and box or fruits, piled up with over two hundred of others and I say, Oh! Lordy! But to-day I have got at yours, and believe me I thank you for the samples. Downing was here a day and we run them over together nastily, but to-day I have written out my notes, and shall send them to the Rural Ncio Yorker for publication, and there you will have to look for my say-so'a, for I cannot possibly copy them. In your letter you name a Nebraska Green apple. JNo such wa9 in the box. And you sneak of two new seediimrs we found only one. The red apple, "name unknown," we first thought Identical with Detroit Red, but its flesh told us our error. I leave it for the present, but if you have half-a-dozen specimens of it I wish you would send them. About your request as to a book of colored fruits, there is no such thing. The London Pomological Magazine contains the bettof any, but they are made from fruits grown in England under glass. A. J. Downing, before his death, told me he regretted ever issuing a colored edition, because it gave no true idea of the fruit. No one specimen colored, covers a true im press of the fruit grown in various sections. Outlines and shadinsrs are mere impressional guides to a 6tudy of a life time, and then the student feels he knpws just nothing at all. Yet. let us work feeling as we may our inca pacitybut a knowledge of other's greater inferiority of knowledge, the which we hope we are guiding to their good, if not a truithful knowledge of varieties. Iam cordially indebted to you. You are spoken of by all our fruit friends East as valuable to us, and we hope some day to take you by the hand. Meantime please continue to remem ber that like you, I am working for the good of all, and anything you send me will be used, not to aggrandise you or me, but to help forward the welfare of humanity. Truly but hastily, &c. F. It. ELLIOTT. We copy below another interesting letter from our friend, M. C. McLaix, of Charlston, 111. Charlston, Ili., Oct. 27, rG9. In my last I stated that our State Agricultural Fair was a success, but took no special note of anything I saw on exhibition, and at this time do not propose go into de tail in fact, only speak of one and that only, because it is receiving consid erable attention pro and con, lust at this time. I allude to the Mexican ever bearing Strawberry. You have doubtless noticed consid erable sparring between the Prairie Farmer men, Thomas Meehan and F. It. Elliott on the one side, and several eastern editors and propaga tors on the other, in which the Farm er, Meehan fe Elliott commend, and the eastern men condemn the variety. After so much had been said pro and con. it is not strange that myself, with others, became quite anxious to see and judge for ourselves. Well, this opportunity was afforded us at our late State 1 air. The propagators were on hand with plenty of live plants, as well as ripe berries, all of which I cave a most critical exami nation and come to the following con clusion. 1 1st. That the vines are healthy and good growers. 2d. That they are a great novelty, fresenting as they do, bloom and fruit rom that just formed, through all stages or growtn, to ripe fruit, atone and the same time. ' - 3d. That although they are what is popularly termed Ever-Bearing, the fruit oeuig quite small ana uns;gnuy, flavor insinid. can never become a Donular. nrofitable. market berry. 4th. The fruit being small," liavor noor. cannot bo 'recommended for family use; and when stripped of Its novelty, i. e.. producing iruit and flowers at the same time. Late into the fall season it becomes worthless. and at best can only be recommended . t i - a? it I f - y r.:fnT1 nearly thirty years, but have no rec- collection of ever before having ex- I rio ri rnrfH :rirri PT'S!)ivp onlr!

Canada "West, writlnnr us under date October 19th, says : You will see a short account of my new wheat in Country Gentleman of ' 14th of October. Judging from the results of my experiments in crossing wheat. I have almost come to the conclusion that by judicious crossing desirable qualities of all varieties of wheat now in existence in to some new kinds, and some of these new kinds shall be better suited to the extreme than any varieties at present in exis tence, with much increased vigor and productiveness "That the country would be greatly oenenteu uy sucn a proauction, no one will for a moment doubt; but the question with me is can the origma tor get hair paid for his Jabor and ex perience in producing them.
