f Owing to rush of work, absence of
the editor, and want of time to read
closely, quite a number of typograph
ical errors escaped notice last week.

"What Eastern Pornologists think of
Nebraska Fruits. V. 11. Elliot, Sec
retary of the American Pomological
. Society, and editor of the Fruit De
partment of the Jlural Iscw Yorker,
has recently, under the head "Fruits
Received," furnished that paper with
an article of considerable length, de
scribing some fruits the editor of the
'Advertiser sent him last fall. We
have not room lor the whole article,
but make some extracts to show what
is thought by Mr. Elliot, and what
we have heretofore contended for.
some superior characteristics Nebras
ka id thought to possess as a fruit grow
ing region.
My fruit loving friends, all over the
country will pleaso accept thank
ior ineir Kinuncssin supplying mc
with siecimcns of the new as well as
.the old varieties of fruits for exam
ination and comparison. Of all I
cannot write, but when there is any
thing new or distinct, I shall try to
let the public know it.
Among others to whom lam indebt-
ed comes a box of varieties from Col.
, It. W. Furnas, Brownville. Nebraska.
" a gentleman who is now, perhaps, do
, ing as much or more than any other
man toward increasing the extent of
orchards and planting them with har
dy as well as superior varieties. The
first fruit, marked "Unknown," is
Detroit Black, though larger than
usual.
SWEET IIOMANITK.
This has the bloom and the shad-
ing of red according to the varictv, as
I described in 181;, and afterward in
my fruit book ; but it is more oblique
in iorru; ana from tins oblique form,
wnicn i so oiten Una in the variety as
grown west of Ohio, I have sometimes
querriea ir there might not be a di3
tinct variety, a seedling partaking of
me original, nut cnauged In form.
DETROIT RED.
, Correct; but when the readers of
the -aural learn that this specimen
measured thirteen and one-half inches
around, they concede Nebraska has
large size as has ever been credited to
'California.
MONARCH.
Correct, but more conical, or round
ish conical than usual at the East. It
also has more and deeper color. Why
'it 6hould ever have obtained a sy
nonym of Monarch Sweet, I know
not, for the flesh is a pleasant subacid,
tender and very good.
DOMIXE.
' Correct, but so large that our valu
ed Charles Downing, who looked over
the specimens hastily with me t "uld
hardly believe it true. On specimen
' measured twelve inches in circumfer
ence. WINE.
This was labelled "English Red
, Streak," and its size almost dispelled
belief in its being simply the Wine
Apple ; but a taste of its flesh proved
.conclusive. Thirteen inches around
is, however, a little ahead In size of
those wo Eastern men are in the habit
of growing.
GABRIEL.
Tliis is unquestionably correct, but
the fruit is so enlarged, and so much
deeper colored than we have been
accustomed to see, it Is to be at first
unrecognizable. The specimen, of
which we present a drawing, is large,
roundish, oblate, greenish-yellow
ground, mostly covered, marble and
splashed with red, and dotted with
large acrole dots. Stem rather slender,
set in a broad, open cavity: calyx
with erect, half-closed segments, set
In a rather deep basin ; flesh yellow-
isn, icnuer, juicy, rich, subacid
The extra soil here gives more depth
to the basin than appears in ordinary
grown specimen, but the flesh is all
unchanged, unless it may be perhaps,
a little more coarse. The character,
however, remains, and judging from
this it must prove a valuable .variety
OTOE REDSTKEAK
- Anew seedling variety, originated
in Otoe county, Nebraska, and is
named from a tribe of Indians. The
fruit is of a medium size and of great
.beauty. In form it is a roundish, ob
. long, oblate, truncated. The color is
rich, warm, yellow ground, mostly
-covered with shades, marblings and
short broken stripes of clear light and
deep dark red ; also many large, light
gray and apparently rough russet dots.
Stem slender, equal lengthy, set in a
broad, open and deep, sometimes rus
setted cavity; calyx with closed or
double segments, set in a very deep
and wide, open, regular, smooth basin.
.Flesh yellowish, breaking, crisp, ten
der, sprightly, rich, pleasant, aromat
ic, sub-acid. Best. Core medium.
Seeds large, plump, full, occupying
the entire capscule. Season, October
to January.
The appearance and quality of this
new apple is superior. It remains
only to have the tree exhibited like
good qualities, to cause it to be uui-
Herd Law Petition.
Editor Advertiser :
Dear Sir Last night at a meeting
held at the School House on the Mud
dy near Hays' Bridge, the accompany
ing petition was adopted, and some 43
signatures obtained, and still going.
Now so that the same kind of a herd
law may be asted for everywhere in
the State, will you publish It In your
valuable paper, so that if there really
is any opposition to it that it can be
made manifest. For the will of the
majority should be the law. Believ
that little or no opposition can be
made to such a humane law, and
where all will be the gainer, we hope
.you will make such suggestions as
will induce your patrons to Immedi
ately petition, taking the one you
publish to be signed and sent up to be
made the law. The opposers can also
have a chance. Thus a fair express
ion can be had.
It seems to us that much might be
said as to the immense wealth and
population that would be by such a
.law attracted to our infant State; but
we forbear, knowing that you can do
It much more justice.
' Will other editors giye this petition
notoriety, who have the good of the
country at heart.
J. X. Fish.
February 22, 1S70.
This herd law question is one in
which we have ever taken a deep in
terest, and we are glad to see the peo
ple awakening to their true Interests.
We have not time to go into details
with arguments, but will do so as soon
as we have more leisure. We are pre
pared to f prove ?that. fences are the
most expensive featu) in farming,
and are costing Jfarmers who have no
herd law, statutory or neighborhood,
fifty per cent, more thai) the actual
value of all their stock. Ed.
Richaui-so.n- Co., Neb., Feb. 22, liCO.JS
To the IIonorallG Legislature of Ne
braska :
We the undersigned petitioners do
respectfully ask the passage of a gen
eral herd law so formed that emigrants
may have immediately the benefit
thereof. This will vastly increase our
wealth as well as our population. . We
also ask for a law giving u a premi
um of so much per rod on all hedge
fences planted and grown, the money
to be raised by a tax on all lands sub
ject to taxation, and a poll tax equal
in amount and for the same purpose
on all owners of homesteads, school
lands or other lands not subject to
taxation. Thus, we who hedge and
settle the country, will get some pay
for the vast increase we thus cause in
the value of speculator's lands, upon
the same principle that we have them
to help build our school houses, leav-
nicr the best arrangement of such a
humanitarv plan to supply in a great
measure, the deficiency in timber
without loss to anv and with benefit
to all, to your deliberative wisdom.
1S70 On tlic Farm.
Gold Is about fifteen per cenk low
er now than it was at the beginning
of 1SC9. Wheat has suffered more
than a corresponding decline. A year
ago, No. 1 Spring was worth 51.13 at
Chicago ; now the same sells at 78c.
Oats have fallen about five cents a
bushel from last year. In rye, the
decline is from $1.12 to GGc. Barley,
too, has fallen more than 100 per cent.
Hay has gone down from $20 to 15.
On the other hand, in one important
crop there has been a rise corn being
five cents a .bushel higher than in
January, 'GO. Cheese is quoted two
cents per pound higher at the West
than it was last year, but in New
York it is a cent or two lower.
Cotton is very much higher than it
was a year ago, and .the Commissioner
thinks that the crop will amount to
three million bales, 400 pounds each.
Beef, Is on an average, a cent per
pound cheaper. On the whole, the
review, though not exhilarating,
gives no cause for depression or anxi
ety in our farm houses. Grain has
ruled very high ever since the war,
and this fall is due to three causes
the steady decline in gold, the entire
absorption of the disbanded armies in
peaceful industry, aud the large num
ber of reapers made and sold. Mc
Cormick has accomplish! more for
grain-growing than any agricultural
inventor for any crop, and so much
can be done by the horse that on the
level lands of the West, grain grow
ing has been greatly stimulated.
Chicago received three million
bushels more of wheat in '69 than in
'68, and seventeen million bushels
more han in '59 ; while of corn she
received six million more bushels in
18G2 than last year. Say what the
agricultural writers may, there is no
likelihood that any words will arrest
the westward roll of the wheat crop.
Twenty years ago, the wheat product
of New York and Pennsylvania was
four and five bushels per head to the
population ; now, it is two and a half.
The value of the grain product of
the New England is $2,50 to each per
son. In Kansas, it is $70. In the
prairie States, on an. average it is $G0.
It is of no use to mutiny against such
figures: they indicate a mighty natu
ral law, a drift that must continue
till migration has equalized in some
measure the value of lands in this
country. Oliver Dalrymple of Min
nesota, although wheat is below a
dollar, proposes to devote 5.000 of his
acres to that crop, for his land did not
cost him over 20 an acre. But Geo
uedues or Syracuse whose larm is
worth $200 an acre, and is as good a
grain farm as there is in the State, is
looking, in the direction of vegetables
and fruits.
The inference to which the results
of 1SG9 force us is that: If railroads
and the nearness of cities have given
Eastern lands an enhanced value, it
is not for grain growing. Wheat will
not make them pay six per cent inter
est. Some crop must be sought which
calls for cioser economy of space, freer
use of manures, and a more shrewd
handling in the markets. Another
deduction is sound: That he who pro
duces meat runs smaller risks, keeps
his land in better heart, and saves
more money than the average grain
farmer. As luxury increases, people
consume more well-aliened flesh
Jieet in the ew iorK markets is
about the last article to succumb to
the general pressure. In fact, good
Kentucky and Ohio three-year-olds
sell about as well a9 they, did when
wheat was $2. There was a veay mod
erate down grade in July and August,
when the gras-feds came in; but it
has required 16 cents to drive a first-
class animal out of the yards during
most of the year, and to-day it rrquires
17 cents.
We draw another lesson from these
figures ; that he who confines his la
bors mainly to articles of prime and
universal necessity sutlers less in the
long run than the larmer who runs
his land to such crops as damage rather
than support society, ror instance
neither the barley that makes ale and
beer, the hop that gives them flavor.
nor tobacco, has been a pecuniary suc
cess this year. Oats have been a profi
table crop ; wheat pays reasonably
well; and thousands of fat cattle have
been sold at from $100 to $120 a head
The farm products that have given
least disappointment are such fruits as
the peach, . the pear, the apple, and the
cranberry.
Great advance has been made in the
facilities for disposing of a large crop
or peaches. A lew years ago, the ar
rival of fifty-five car-loads made such
a glut that hundreds of baskets were
thrown to tne nsnes. inis year,
trains of 175 cars in a day did not em
harass the market. The price of good
table apples is nearly the same year
after vear. whether wneat is up or
down, and the prices of cider and good
cider vinegar steadily advance. With
the exception of the strawberry there
is little danger of loss on any of-tbe
small fruits, and all the vegetables of
the market garden are profitable when
rightly handled.
In conclusion, we say to the pro
ducers of milk, cheese and flesh.
Your house stands strong; the increase
of population, the growth of foreign
demand, and the more expensive
habits of the opulent class, insure you
a firm and remunerative market.
Grain growers must remember that so
many will sow less- and furnish a
scant crop in 1870 that scarcity alone
is likely to prevent a further decline.
For years, we have heard the proph
esy that the small fruit business will
be overdone, and the numerous or
chards and vineyards will not pay the
labor of harvesting. Facts do not
warrant the statement. Grapes bring
more per pound than they did when
we had not ten acres of vineyard in
any State of the Union. Fine large
strawberries still command nearly fifty
cents a quart, though millions of
small, sandy berries, do not 6eil for
ten.
When a few thousaud bushels of
wild cranberries were brought to ob
scure markets, they were slow pale at I
a dollar. . Now, the product of three
or four thousand carefully planted
acres sells in New Yoik or Philadel
phia at four dollars a bushel. In short,
while our civilization grows finer and
higher, there is no dinger that any
delicate flesh or any savory fruit will
co a begging for purchasers. The de
mand for them has all along outrun
the supply; and no rush that our fann
ers will make this year, or witniu nve
vears. towards rdantiucr orchards, is
likely to glut the market. N. Y.

have never indorsed the character or usefulness ol
vines, or other articles of any description, and would
not at my present stage of life were It not for two
reasons which seem sufTicient. pirst, I know tbe
Walter Grape, will meet the prejudices widespread
throughout the couutry. caused by the worthlawness
in nitmt localities oi mnny oi us predet-essors. Sec
ond, because I can say from personal observation
that the Walter is the bet variety I have had any
knowledge of. and I think I have cultivated near!
all that have been recommended, discarding them
all and falling back upon the Concord and Hartford
ironncas vineyam varieties. I am interested In
knowing that tiie fruit of the Waiter imnniimu
each year as the vine grows older, being last year
fully one-third larger than it was two years ago. It
grows well ; sets fruit welL I have seen it rioe sev
eral times before Hartford, audi have never seen
auy iiumew on us irun or on us large and thick, but
Ielaware shaped foliage. Tbe flavor of the fruit I
think superior to any other variety. You say In
your circular it is a seedling of tbe Delaware and
Diana; I think the character of each of these varie
ties Is quite distinguishable in the Walter, particu
larly that of the Delaware. I alsd think it would
make a wine of high character. I have visited it
annually since It first bore. six years ago, three times
in Ulster Co., N. Y., in a low vallev, where the Isa
bella seldom ripens, and each time'it was fuiiw nn.
in August. I have seen it each of tbe three past sea
sons in Poughkeepsie. ripening at the same time,
excepting last year, when the constant rains pre
vented all varieties from maturing at their usual
time, but it perfected its fruit by the middle of Sep
tember. The raisins of the last mentioned crop I
have seen and eaten, which were eixsL From Its
succeding In the low valley and tenacious clay ot
