Ffnrefkllfdjres Hfrd Law.
Tlie jueation of fences and herd
Jaw are becoming, all over the coun
try, the most prominent and impor
tant of any other in which the farm
er, aud agriculture generally, are in
terested. In the old and timbered
Ktate the subject i Mng d!tcused,
more, If possible, than In our own
prairie country. New York, Ohio,
Iudiana and Missouri, are particular! v
agitating the question, and the weight
of opinion is decidedly in favor of
what w e call out here, a "Herd Law."
That is, that fences are, or ought to
Ik?, to keep stock in, not out. That
jtock has no right as commoners to
roam, at pleasure, in the high -ways,
or over other people's lands besides
their owner's. Rt sides these joints,
the !tem of expense of dead-board
and rail-fences is being Investigated,
and found, even in timbered coun
tries, to be over burthensome, and
farmers find jt necessary to get rid of
this heavy expense.
Let us make n few figures on fences.
If any one can build a loard or rail
fence for less than $1 50 a rod llu-y
can !cat our experience. At this rate
it will cost $9G0 to fence a quarter flec
tion of land, to say nothing of parti
tion fences. It will cost 10 per cent
of this amount each year to keep it
up ; $06. The interest on the invest
ment is 10 per cent, more; $0G annu
ally. " This class of fence is gone In
ten years, and thus the farmer has
been taxed in that time the original
investment, $060; ten years in keep
ing it up, $300 more, and the interest
on the original investment, $960, to
say nothingof the interest on the ex
penses of keeping up fences. We have
a grand total In ten years of $2,SS0,
for each quarter section, or one hun
dred and sixty acres of land, and the
farm, without a fence.
Now give the same man a chance
to build a live-hedge-fenceand see the
difference! A hedge fence can be plant
ed, and successfully established for
about eighteen cents a rod say twenty
for round numbers. We find the ac
tual outlay for the same quantity of
land to be $123 00. Twenty-ft ve dol
lars a year, for three years, will culti
vate the hedee. at which ; time it
ought to be ready to turn out, and all
expense, of any amount, at an end
This makes the sum total $203, and the
farmer has a fence that will last him
and his children's children for ages.
The difference In actual expense or
outlay, is as between $203, and $2,880,
which is $2,G77 to each tract of 160
acres of land, or $38,438 for each town
shin, six miles square. There is this
much saved to the farmer alone in
fences, to say nothing of the value of
of the hedge fence, and the additional
value of land in other respects.
'. We profess to be holding out induce
ments for the man of limited means
the poor man to come to our prai
rie country and make him a home. If
he does so, and proposes to raise corn
and wheat, we subject him to this
enormous expense to fence in his crop,
while his neighbor's cattle may range
over the orairie at pleasure. There is
no justice in this all wrong from be
ginning to end.
All this can be avoided by the pas
sage of a general Herd Law. This
thing of excepting this, that or the
other county or precinct is simply
nonsense of the hugest proportions.
You can't learn stock to respect the
boundary lines, and there is no useto
talk of it.
We are confident the people are be
ginning to understand this question,
and will act wisely by giving no rest
until our Legislature passes the re
quired ctt : We venture the assertion
that if a vote was submitted to-day to
the people of Nemaha county, who
are directly interested, it would result
handsomely in favor of a Herd Law.
State Horticultural Society.
The Board of Managers of the State
Horticultural Society talk of holding
a meeting soon at Omaha Bay in
June. Again at Nebraska City, mid
way between that time and the State
Fair, and at this place during the
Htate Fair. What say the friends at
Omaha and Nebraska City ? The Idea
Is to arouse and get out all the Horti
cultural interest In the State. The
meeting at Nebraska City or Omaha
could be held during strawberry sea
son, and a good social and profitable
time had.
Few persons know the value of the
droppings of the hen house. In the
kitchen or flower garden its value is
almost beyond computation. Mix it
about three parts to one of soil, and
put a hand full to each hill of garden
corn, or tomato, or cabbage plant, or
about the same proportion to any
garden plant, and the result will be
wonderful. A decoction of the drop
pings applied . occasionally to pot
plants will make the greatest imagin
able difference in growth and bloom.

en." Our attention was
first called to this apple
a year or more ago by 3.
B. Marshall, of Cleve
land, Ohio. But until
within a few weeks past
was it, that ve had an
opportunity of seeing
and tasting the fruit, for
which . our acknowl-
edgenienta are due to
Dr. Z. Hollingsworth,
of Sandusky, Lee Co., .
and to Mr. Johnson
Meek, of Vincennes, of
the same county. On
our return home from
the meeting of the Illi
nois Horticultural Soci
ety, In December, we
found liberal don:iti m
of the fruit from both of
these gentlemen. And,
after having seen and
tasted, we are free to confess our happy disappointment In "Grime's; CJolpkk''
that too much in commendation of its man v excellent qualities can scarcely
be said an opinion that has the unqualified endorsement of good judges who
have seen and Us ted with us. It is a matter of surprise that a tree and fruit
combining so many desirable qualities,
notonety-ere tins. The aceomuaiivinir
received from Mr. Meek, and represents the apple truthfully. Mr. Meek in
forms us that he planted ten three-year old trees of "Grimed Golden" In 1849
and 1S50, that they came into bearing early that they stood the hard winters
of 1S."6 and S7so well, that the following season he planted forty-four more
trees in place of others killed out that
annually, and that the fifty-four are

- Dr. Warder, in his American Pomology, (and by the way a most valuable
work ) desc ribes this as follows :

Otoe County Horse Fair.
We are glad to see the enterprise of
Otoe county setting the example of
holding a Horse Fair. This is another
move in the right direction. David
Martin,' President of the Otoe Fair
Ground Company publishes the fol
lowing communication on the subject
in the Nebraska City News:
" While our agricultural organiza
tions are but partially formed, shall
we avoid the mistakes that have dis
tracted them in nil the older States
the mingling of interests that are en
tirely incongruous. These fetes were
first called cattle shows, where the
production of the stock raiser, the
housewife, tho mechanic, the fruit
grower and gardener, were the objects
of attraction. But these have all had
to take the dust from the heels of the
racer, as he has steadily forced him
self to the front, and became the great
center of attraction. The producer,
confident of the superiority of the
claims of his productions, has become
soured and dingustedat being elbowed
and jostled by these racers, while the
horsemen are annoyed and vexed at
the snail's pace of the farmer, with
his shows of huge piles of flesh without
motion. .
Thecombiningof these incongruous
interests in the same exhibitions, we
think is the mistake that has caused
the decline in the interests of these
fairs, and made them a hybrid between
a horse race and an industrial exhibi
tion. Then is it not best for both that
they be separated ? Admiration for
the horse is a passion too firmly fixed
in mankind to be reconstructed. And
as speed is the most obvious test of
excellence in the horse, the ambition
to own and drive fast teams is as an
cient as the myth of Zanthus and
Balus, beside which Dexter and
Mountai Boy are mere plugs.
In consideration of the fact that it
is impossible to harmonize these Inter
ests iu the same exhibition, the Otoe
Fair Ground Company have deter
mined to hold a purely Horse Fair on
their new course on the second and
third days of June, 1870. What say
you horsemen of this and adjoining
States? Shall we bring together our
racers, our roadsters, and our drafts
ters, without the bulls, the pigs, and

the Uuited States, for fou r reasons, vii :
FiasT Because they are made expressly for the
soli of Nebraska and Missouri. -
Second Because the peculiar twist of the
makes them scour in all kinds of soil.
plow
Thibd Because they are made of the best materi
al, and are light and durable.
Fourth Because one man can cultivate fifty
acres, and save the expense of one hand, which
i Is 57 in one year.

Weir's Cultivator has not only stool the past eight
years, but Is growiiiff more and more popular. It
received the i'l RST HONORS at the Illinois State
Fair in 1S;7, and the ME OA L J'JiEMJ VM at the !St.
Iuis Fair in l9t, where were over twenty-five dif
ferent Walking Cultivators in competition: the
FIRST TK KM I VMM the Great Field Trial at St.
Jouis Fair, ls9,ordered by the Missouri state Board
of Agriculture; El RST VREMIVM at CI District
and County Fairs iu lfl.
During the eight years our Plow has been In the
market It has VROVF.l) ITSEI.ERELIA RLE at all
times, and where others fail it gives universal satis
faction. THERE ARE OVER 43,000 IX L'NEf
It Cultivates the ground deeper thuiinuy other
Machine of the kind, und by an arrangement of the
Joint it can be made to work as well after six year's
usage as when first put Into the field. We have let
ters from more than a thousand farmers, informing
us of its durability and general good qualities, ami
recommend It as the REST CVLTIVA TOR IX I SE.'
IT TOSSKSSKS 3IA5Y ADVANTAGES OTEtt"
OT1IKU COBN TLOWS:
1. It is so simple that It can be operated by a boy.
By means of a peculiar twist in the liiamoiid
Shovels, (a late Improvement,) we avoid all tule
prejuurt, whether the shovels are set to throw dirt
to or from the corn.
3. By means of the evener, and the draft being
on a direct line from the gangs to the horses'
shoulders, the horses' neck.v as well as the wheels,
are relieved ot all downward pressure.
4. By means of a patent square frame, the knuck
les are held in an exact vertical position, thereby
keeping the gangs in the same potition, and pre
venting that rocking motion so common with other
plows.
5. One man will do the work of two, with greater
ease to himself and horses, and thus save the wages
and board of a hired man, which is equal per mouth
to the price of the machine.
6. It is strong, duntble, and with proper care will
last many rears.
EVERY PLOW WARRANTED
after three days' fsir trial, to give perfect satisfac
tion or the money refunded.
