AGMCU LXURAL. R.W. FURNAS, Editor. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1870. a NEBRASKA AITLES. ' Yesterday afternoon we met on the street, the veteran nurseryman and fruit grower of Rockford, 111., J. 8. Bheannaa,. rha has been traveling about Nebraska intending to Invest in some of our lands. In answer to our inquiry as to his opinion about fruit growing here, he remarks Nebraska can beat the world, and I can prove it. And opening his carpet sack, showed us Holland Pippin, Jfennocks Winter, Ben Davis and Talpahawken apples. Superb specimen, and as we surmised had been presented by Col. Furnas. Mr. 8. said they were taken from a large bin, and in the lot he had not seen one that was wormy. We consider this testimony from an old fruit grower of Illinois, worthy of note, and Just what we nave often said was true. Omaha Herald. Mr. Shearman spent a few days In this place, and was in perfect exsta cies over specimens of Nebraska fru its. The varieties above mentioned far exceeded anj'tbing he had before seen anywhere, and he took specimens to the Iowa State Horticultural Society.

A member of the Illinois Constitu finnl Convention has introduced provision in the Constitution requiring County Supervisors to cause trees to be planted along the highways, the cot to be paid by taxation. The plan ' is, that five per cent, of the highways in each county be planted each year. . The Editor of the Wcatcrn Farmer calculates this, "that in a. county 20 miles square there would be 800 .miles of highway. This would require 4D miles of trees to be planted each year. Trees at 33 feet apart would give 12,000 trees in eachcounty, each year." What would such a yearly effort accomplish for Nebraska in a very few years? The difference in . the production of the soil, by reason of this protection, would be ten fold the expense. Few people understand the real importance of tree planting . tn o tMfitriA rnnntrv like OUrs.

Our State is pure Jy an agricultural region, and it wants agricultural effort and assistance A Good Sized Farm. Maj. B. F. Lusiibaugh, a gentle- 'm.n vol! known throughout the State, has recently purchased the old home farm of Hon. Geo. P. Tucker, one of the pioneers and permanent men in Johnson county. This gives the Major, with other lands he own ed, adjoining this, a snug little farm, v.rPA and a half miles loner. He now has five hundred and sixty acres un Apr cultivation, and where he has already planted two thousand peach trees, and other fruits in proportion. He has also just given his order for one thousand apple, pear, plum, cher ry, apricot and Nectarines, to be plan ted the coming spring. The Major has invested quite extensively in cat tie and swine, and is in a fair way t Bhow off a County.

Walker, Esq., Treasurer Btate Board of Agriculture, Is 'laylng on his oars" and enjoying a little leis ure in looking over the country. While &t Fort Boott, Kansas, he wrote us, from which we extract the following: To tell you the truth, the general appearance of fruit trees contrasted with ours at home would seem to Justify me in using the leisure time just now at my disposal, in further ex amining that section of country on or near the 37th degree north. One thing is 6ure, however, that deep, rich and mellow soil is very considerably scarcer on the elevated lands in the region of Fort Scott tlian there in Nebraska on our high lands but more of this when we nave seen more of it.

The largest one cut up in three parts, weighed 562 pounds, net. The bal- lance fell a little short of that weight. I bad not thought of saying anything about it until I saw in last week's Advertiser a claim from Nemaha City for the premium hog of the County, weighing 534 pounds, age 19 months.

We have. just received a copy of the large Steel Engraving that la presented to each subscribe to Dxm. OEEST1 ILLrSTRATID Mosthlt, and we mast confess we were taken by surprise. The whole engraving la done In line and tipple, and Is a charming picture in all its details. Independent of its pleasing subject It Is a work of art, and would be a Taloable ornament for any parlor. As an Illustration of American genius In the design and ezecu-! Hon of the engraving. It is unsurpassed. Each head Is a picture la Itself. The principal feature of the subject, however, Is the serio comic incident of the breaking down of a scup by acorpulent Individual, who had been Induced to try his skill in swinging. There are sixteen figures under thelarpeout spreadlng tree and near the scup forming the principle group, and seven others in the fore ground, making twenty-seven in all. Each face has Its own humorous, or startled ex pression, indicating the feeling that has been awakened by the accident. The figures in the foreground are Interesting themselves la various ways. Fourth of July Is Indicated by the display of American flags, packs of fire-crackers among the debris of the dinner, and the pistol tn the hands of a saucy urchin who, from behind a large log, on which a couple U lovers are sitting while the question Is being ponped, pops his pistol. - These with other admirable details make np a picture that has no superior fox Its faithful represen tation of human life and character. Our wonder Is how the publishers can affbrd to furnish so costly a picture to each euhcoriher at only 13,00. The Monthly alone being the acknowledged Parlor Magazine of the coun try, and worth all tHat Is asked for It, while the enrraving is worth three times the amount of the subscription.
