Dog-Lair..
P ;We call the attention of oli interest
ed 'In this State to the inadequacy of
the existing dog law. Jf n dog kills
your sheep, you must prove that the
owner knew the dog to be a aheep-
killing car, hefore you can obtain
damage. Ab the law now Ib, it is
.Twortfc nothing. Let the members of
thajaext Legislature be posted and In
structed to have tho law so shaped aa
to &Jord protection. "We like a good
(togajts well as any -one, but these
worthless, roving, sheep-killing
whelps we want to see exterminated.

Sprouting Honey Locust Seed.
3W. Peabmax, of Davenport, la.,
Jaas jeplied to Mr. Dinainy's enquiry
lii regard to honey locust seed, more in
detail, than we did, and which we
'tae-pleasure In publishing. It is as
follows :
Davenport, Iowa, March, 15, 1870.
T. M. Dlnninj, Eq., Tecumseh, JYco :
Dear Sin: I see you nsk through the Ad
vrriUer thenroner method of nrotmrlnK Hon-
rX0cfiat seed before planting. Col. Furnas
'has'answered you partially, and If you have
no objections I will give ray views or plans
from practice.
. Havo your seed oil cleaned out and kept dry
MUGLybaf ground Is perfectly warm which
would bo April 25th or Muy 1st then put
ycuraeed In a light vessel ; All the vessel
With hot boding water; cover the vessel or tub
with an old blanket for twenty-four or thlr-
iv-slx hours, and at that time take the seed
oat, Tim through a selvo course enough to let
me ury scea inrougu. jvh mi umt pasm
through the sivo should be placed in tlio tub
again, nnd hot water used as before. The seed
already for planting are swollen nearly three
times their natural size, and should be plan
ted out immediately, covered about two
leches. They will soon come up, and if prop
erly cultivated, will make a growth from
two to three feet the first year.
I grow .honey locust for hedges, and Bhall
plant out all I can get at Nebraska City the
coming spring. Should you have more see.l
than you want, I will buy it of you. I shall
move my Nursery to that place this spring,
aad6hould yon have occasion to visit that
place, please enquire for ine. 5 shall be glnd
to make your acquaintance; and hereafter
if youhaveany, or can get me some Honey
ixxiist seed. I will pay you well for It.
xours very respectfully,
J.AV. Peakjiaw.
From Johnson Connty.
Tecuiseii, March 19, 1S70.
Coi. JR. W. Furnoa, Ed. Advertiser:
Sib: At no time in our history, as
s country, has the prospects for a pros
perous and a brilliant future been
more flattering than those at present
are to the farmers, although the low
price of grain last fall was not wlth-
ouTlts effects In retarding Improve-
nfents generally; yet, extensive prep
arations are being mado for the spring
campaign, and the acres that will be
gown and planted this year will more
than double that of last season.
But the most permanent improve
ments will be made in planting fruit
trees, which are now trenched in the
ground and ready for spring planting.
The most of this stock was purchased
from an agent of an Ohio Nursery,
and delivered at Brownville last Oc
tober; and thus, in many cases they
were hauled in the open air and sun
for fifty miles, then "heeled" in tho
ground for protection until the proper
season arrives for planting.
I do not like the above system very
well. I would prefer to buy stock of
home dealers, as far as possible, trees
aclimated here, and going direct to
the nursery whero they are grown ;
take them fresh from the ground and
replant as soon as possible, so that
none would need be out of the ground
more than two or three days, instead!
of as many weekB. I think by this
method that but few trees would die,
and those that live would be more
healthy, grow faster, come to maturi
ty earlier, and fruit sooner.
T.tl were to buy trees in the fall, I
would plant in the orchard immedi
ately ; and I know of no great dif
ference between fall and spring, any
more than the fall season is very
short, and many might plant out of
season then, which would be as inju
rous to the tree as late planting in
in the spring.
Forest trees are receiving much at-
tention ; and now to find a farm with
out a grove planted, "is the exception
and not the rule." I think the area
of young timber now growing, and
what wili bo planted this year, will
greatly exceed that of natural growth.
So in & few years we may find some
beautiful parks and artificial forests
on the once nearly treeless prairies of
Nebraska. The principal timber is
the cottonwood. The soft maple is
also largely cultivated, as well as tho
Walnut.
Hedging Is also favorably remem
bered, and hundreds of miles will be
set out this season. The Osage Orange
ia the only kind that is used much,
and we can boast of some Yery fine
hedges that are now sufficient to turn
stock. Our friend, Mr. Ellsworth,
has about twenty-five miles that is
two and three years old.
Yours,
Frank M. Dininny.

new harrow made by Mr. John Wor
thing, which we are inclined to think
more favorably of than anything we
have before seen in that line. It is all

which throws the teeth in proper

Franz Helmer, n double revolving

said to possess desirable features. Can

IThy Fruit Trees are Barren. .
Trees that expend all their forces in
the production of wood growth can
produce little or no fruit. Indeed it
is not possible ibr any tree to produce
afruitgerm,andnotagaininsomeway
disorganize it, unless the wood growth
shall cease in time for the leaves to
elaborate food enough to grow both
leaf and fruit the following year, or
until a partpf the leaves shall attain
to nearly or quite their full size. That
this is so will be apparent, when we
consider that the leaves which appear
first in the Spring, were formed in the
previous year, perfect in all their
parts, and in the embryo state, con
tained each individual cell found in
tnem wnen tuny grown.
The question may arise, when there
is no addition to the number of cells,
how do the leaves grow ? The answer
is, that the only difference we can see
between an ambryo leaf and one fully
grown, is-in the size of the leaf cells.
As growth begins in the spring, these
small cells which are formed the pre
vious year, begin to expand. Each
individual cell thus enlarges until
all the numerous cells of which
these leaves arc composed are of full
size. To further illustrate this, let us
suppose, on a brick wall that each
brick at the same time was gradually
to expand to several hundred times
its present diameter, and you have
just what takes place in the growth
of an embryo leal. Here we have a
tree in possession of a full grown leaf.
This leaf did not form itself, but was
formed bj' the tree the preceeding
year.
To produce and sustain thiscellular
enlargement, there had been stored
the previous year a large share of nu
triment in the buds, and in other
parts of the tree..
This nutriment must be not only
sufficient to feed the embryo leaves,
but must also be sufficient to produce
the small, warty excerscenees this
rootless and spongioles. These new
leaves and spongioles are a tree's la
boratory. And those leaves and
spongioles first grown were made,
with the exception o f moisture wholly
out of the material that wasstored by
the tree during the growth of the
pnvious year. When these vegetable
stores are in sufficient supply to do
this, and nourish the fruit germs also,
then we shall hear little about imper
fect fertilization. On the other hand,
had the food been consumed the pre
vious year, by ripening an over crop
of fruit, orby making a very succu
lent growth, then the tree would not
store a sufficient amount of plant food
to preform its three-fold office in the
production of leaves and roots with
their spongioles and and fruit.
In this condition a part of the leaf,
and a larger part of the fruit buds,
yield up their nourishment, which
goes to the production of rootand leaf
growth. The tree, therefore, is bar
ren of fruit for the Summer, its whole
growth being required to recuperate
its own vigor. Such trees often bloom
freely, and then cast their blossoms.
When this occurs uniform persons at
tribute it to want of fertilization, or
supposed that the rain must have
washed away the pollen. Dr. Jicll,
Kansas Farmer.

How the Timber Goes.
Tho present consumption of wood
in the United States is enormous.
One hundred and fifty acres of the
best timber is cut every year to supply
the demand for railway sleepers alone.
For railroad buildings, repairs, and
cars, tiic annual expenditure in wood
is thirty-eight millions of dollars. In
a single year the locomotives in the
United Stotes consume fifty -six mill
ion dollars worth of wood. There are
in the whole country more than four
hundred thousand artisians in wood ;
and if the value of their labor is one
thousand dollars a year, each, the
wood industry of the country repre
sents an amount of nearly five hun
dred millions of dollars per annum.
It will be seen, therefore, how ex
tensive are the interests dependent
ipon the production of lumber.
.Probably laws will have eventually to
be enacted by the State Xegrslatures
to prevent such destruction of the for
ests as will be likely to result in natu
ral injury to the country, and it may
be. uecessar3T to encourage the plant
ing of forests, to meet the demands of
the future.
"A O. J." a correspondent of the
Gazette, giveajhe following recipe for
grafting wax :
Pour parts of rosin, three parts of
beeswax, and three of lard, melted to
gether, maka a good wax. It takes'
much less wax, and is much handier
to work with, and will make a hptfur
job to coat rags with wax. This can be
uone oy tearing the rags into strips1
from H to 2 inches wide, and dropping
them into the mixture while cooking.
It should be permitted to gef cooj
enough before the rags ara taken out",
so that sufficient will stick to them to
glaze nicely.

Stock Farming.
Gen. Capron, Commissioner of Ag
riculture, in his forthcoming report,
says:
"The tendency of present prices of
farm products indicates the necessity
of increased attention to the propaga
tion, irrowing and fattening of farm
animals, and to the production of
meats, poultry, butter, cheese, milk,
anil" various other animal products,
while the prevalence of special crop
ping, upon a depleting and exhaust
ive system, enforces urgently the ap
peal for a mixed husbandry based up
on stock growing."
J. Winne, of Massachusetts, writes
as follows on the value of sheep:
When I wentiutosheep feeding it was
6rthepurpo3e of improving my land,
which at 1 hat time would hardly.grow
a good crop of beans. My success has
been beyond anticipation. I wanted
to get two spears of grass where I
then had but one. I 'have certain Iy
got three, and my neighbors say four.
From meadows which I formerly cut
one-half ton to -the acre, I now get
two. Then I could not raise rye. Last
year I got from 16 acres 400 bushels
and straw enough, if I had sold it, to
have amounted to $900
A horse that is in harness every day
needs an abundance of food, and the
right kind. Oats make more muscle
than corn, and should always form
part of the food of a hard working
horse. Corn gives plumpness, and
imparts warmth. The colder the
weather, the more corn ; the harder
the work, the moreoats. Mass. Flow
man. Many will remember tho case of
Martin Green, of Benton Harbor,
Mich., who lastspring, had 300 of his
peach trees girdled in a night by un
known scoundrels; and how the citi
zens turned out in mass and dre& ed
the trees with salves and rags, and
how the trees bore a marvelous crop
01 peacnes. boon alter their burden
had been gathered, they were girdled
again, and Mr. Green in despair,
thought he must have some enemy
in the neighborhood, and sold his
farm and.moved away. Mr. Hunter,
a Chicagoan, bought it, and, a few
days ago, the orchard was again out
raged. The people are teraibly ex
cited over it, and are making extraor
dinary efforts to detect the despoilers.
