The Farmersof Washington County
are organizing an Agricultural Asso
ciation. Everybody is fitting out for
the next State Fair.
Shall Dotfcre County be Represented
at the iicxt State Fair.
This question is one to which we
ask the earnest attention of our farm
ers and mechanics, and to which we
desire affirmative answer. For sever
al years our farmers have been getting
ready to make a display in the State
Fair, but up to this time have done
nothing shall we allow another
year to pass and Dodge still be with
out premiums? We have the farm
products, the stock with which to se
cure a name for our country, yet, the
indifference of our people so far has
failed to bring the acknowledgement
of merit prominently before the State.
Those acquainted with the produc
tions of the interior of Nebraska,
have no doubt of its superioradvanta
ges for farming operations, but there
are thousands of people yet living in
our State who imagine that all culti
vable land is within thirty miles of
the Missouri river, and we want such
a display as will correct this error.
The next State Fair is to be held at
Rrownville, September 20th, 21st, 22nd
and 23rd, and we hope our farmers
will make arrangements to compete
for premiums on produce and stock.
If we want settlers of a good clats,
something must be done to attract
their attention, and no way is more
effective than a fine display of our ag
ricultural resources.
The mechanics of our town are
among the best in the State, and we
hope some of them will have speci
mens of their handiwork at the next
Fair. Fremont Tribune.

Nebraska For Wheat.
Everybody knows that twenty to
thirty bushels of wheat to the acre in
Nebraska is the ordinary yield in good
seasons. Everybody knows, too, that
In the St. Louis market, Nebraska
Wheat brings the highest and fanci
est prices. Almost everybody knows
also that it is quite a common thing
for farmers ta raise enough wheat the
first year to pay for their land, pay
for plowing and fencing it. '
Upon their wheat crops, Nebraska
farmers brag. A few of them were
bantering each other on the subject
recently, when one of them having
heard the others first, declared tliat
In 1857 he-raised eighty acres of wheat
that stood so thick and heavy on the
ground that he was compeMed to rent
a quartor section of land adjoining it
to shock it up on ! ! Probably some
Minnesota men can over-go that.

The Farmers' Garden.
In the Prairie Farmer for March 26
we find the following :
The majority of farmers consider
that to spend a day in arranging and
planting a garden is waste time. A
few patatoes, a bed or two of onions,
some self-sown lettuce, and a few late
cabbages is a sufficiency.
Now this is entirely wrong; the
former before all others should have a
good garden it is over two-thirds of
his living. In the spriug it will fur
nish him, with asparagus.-which is as
fialatablo as green peas ; then comes
Qttuce, radishes, spinach, and so on
every week bringing something new
aud delicious.
Good Blood.
Blood will tell ; aye, let it be where
it may in swine, cattle, horses, poul
try or man there is no disguising the
fact that blood only, tells, in the long
run. The scrub hog may show well
for a season, under high feed. So,
also, neat cattle and horses, in so far
as grossness or fat may minister to the
eye of a man, bred from the same
crude stock and fattened by chance
with the leavings of a father, or .some
oil or land speculation, but long be
fore the progeny of the one or the
other reaches maturity the want of
pure-blood will show itself. Now, I
suppose- some will read this with a
sneer, but let nio tell them it's no fal
lacy, and whether they themselves
are sprung from good blood or not,
they will do well to heed this Item.
They have, of themselves, in our
schools and other advantages of edu
cation, an opportunity to check the
downward currant of coarse blood,
and If they heed wisely will make in
their stock growing, whether of horses
or chickens, of cattle or turkeys,
more than double returns from the
same amount of labor, care and food::
when applied to stock of thebest and.
purest blood, as opposed to the ehance
bred scrub in horse, cow or chicken

Otoe Red Streak.
The Otoe Ret! Streak
Apple is a Nebraska
seedling; originated in
thegroundsof J.H. Mas
ters, Nebraska City.
Theoriginal tree came up
as a sprout from a root
graft, overshadowingand
finally- destroying the
graft, and by neglect was
suffered to grow until it
fruited", when itwas found
to possess many desirable
characteristics. It was
exhibited atourlastStnte
Fair, and highly com
mended by the Fruit
Committee, all of whom
were practical fruit men.
Specimens were sent to
Eastern Pomoloirists who
also found it promising in all respects. C. F. Elliott, Secretary of the
American Pomological Society, thought sufficient of it to have drawings
made and published in Moore's Rural New Yorker. The following is Mr.
Elliott's opinion and description of this apple:
"The fruit is of a medium size, and of great beauty. In form it is a
roundish, oblong, oblate, truncated. The color's rich, warm, yellow ground,
mostly covered with shades, marbling.-, and short broken stripes of clear
light and deep dark ml; also many large, light gray and apparently rough
russet dots. Stem slender, equal lengthy, set in a broad, open and deep,
sometimes russctted cavity; calyx with closed or double segments, set in a
verv deep and wide, open, regular, smoth basin. Flesh yellowish, breaking

A
OTOE RED STREAK OrxLlNi:.
Grafting Potatoes.
The intention of the operation is to
cause a variation, a hybridization be
tween two kinds of potatoes, by com
pelling the mixture of the juices of
two kinds, and thus to alter the na
ture of the root, to sink a bad quality
and bring forth a good one, ond even
by such a mixture to produce an abso
lute new variety, for the grafting of a
potatoe, unlike'the grafting of an or
dinary tree, scion on a tree or woody
stock, does not produce a continuance
of the branches and body of one kind
of tree on the roots of another, but so
mixes and amalgamates the sap that
the produce is a joint variety, which
is capable of continuing its kind by
the future planting of the so produced
tubers.
The mode of conducting the opera
tion is as follows: Take any two
sound potatoes of any varieties, whose
good qualities you wish to retain, cut
out all the eyes of one of them entire
ly, with a common pocket knife;
then cut out a piece of the potatoe in
the form of a wedge, and substitute
for the bit so removed a piece having
a good eye or two, nicely sprouted,
about half an inch long; then tie firm
ly together with a.piece of bast mat
ting, or string, having first run a
couple of ladies' hairpins clear through
botti potatoes. These hairpins will
prevent the tie from slipping off the
potatoes, as well as assist in holding
both parts together. The fit must be
a good one, and the bark or rind of
each must meet as in any other mode
of grafting. The operation must be
performed quickly, and the grafted
set must be planted as quickly as pos
sible, as the sap would dry up if ex
posed for any length of time to the
air. The trench should be opened and
manured, ready to receive the grafted
tubers, and they should be placed
therein and covered up quickly with
the soil. Rounds may be grafted with
Kidne3Ts, or i?tcc versa, or Rounds may
be grafted one on the other. Let it be
perfectly understood that not every
one can graft potatoes successfully,
because you fail don't blame the sys
tem. The operation should be per
formed "by a person who thoroughly
understands grafting fruit trees ; then
thereMa a chance of success ; but even
he may fail.
Another system is to take two pota
toe plants, growing close together of
different kinds; when the plants are
when the plants are well sprouted,
remove the earth, and take care that
you have only a single stem from
each potatoe ; put the stems close to
gether ; graft the stems by inarching,
binding the stems together with a soft
elastic bandage, and covering the ban
dage with wet clay, or grafting wax
spread out on cloth, so as it may be
removed when the stems have united.
The rusult if the operation is success
ful is, that the tubers on each plant
will show a great variation from the
original kind; and as these variations
in the present "State of knowledge on
the subject, will be entirely chance
work, you will have to select from the
produce; aud try the tubers the second
year, before the benefits, orotherwise,
can be ascertained. Canada Farmer.
Purchasing' Fruit Trees.
It is not fair, good reader, to go to a
nursery to buy fruit trees, and tell the
nurseryman you wish him to select
for you. He ought not to be responsi
ble for the variety of fruits to supply
your wants. Tlie nurseryman keeps
on hand all varieties to meet the wants
and tastesof customers generally, and
is ready to sell you any you wish ; but
you are expected to know what you
want, aud bring with you a list of
your own. If you do not know which
are among the best sorts, then we
have long printed, and you have read
in vain. Rut to be sure you are right
in your order for tcees, consult a
neighbor, some who cultivates good
fruits,, and get him to give you a list
of the sorts he finds best adapted to
his soils; and what would add to the
thing, take a friend along with you to
the nursery, with the list, and let him
assist you. in selecting the specimens.
There is no mistaking au unhealthy
tree, but there is judgement to be ex
ercised in choosing from healthy ones.
It is a good sign for trees to have a
straight, strong main stem, with plen
ty of vigorous branches, and small,
fibrous roots, not naked stumps. All
trees which have any dead leaves re
maining on over winter, should be re
jected, as they are likely not to be
healthy, as well as those which have
auy fungus or foreign substance ad
hering to them.
If you have a gardener, or man of
all work about you, take him along
with you to "lift" the trees, unless a
nurseryman himself, will give it his
personal attention, which he is able
not often to do in the hurry of his
business which has to be embraced
withiu a few months, spring and fall.
There is more damage done to trees in
taking them up at the nursery, by
rough, ignorant workmen, who have
to be employed in the rush of work,
than from any other cause in the
transplantation. This fact we desire
particularly to be remembered.
Be careful also- to cover the trees
from the time they are taken from the
nursery, until they are- transplanted.

Priming the Apple Tree.
E. G. Mygatt, of Richmond, III.,
in writing to the Prairie Farmer,
says :
Various opinions have been enter
tained as to the time and extent of
the operation.
Some good cultivators almost entire
ly omit pruning others simply from
neglect while "many farmers prune
ioo severely, using an ax or saw on
large limbs.
These extremes should be avoided,
and a moderate judicious pruning ev
ery year, will be useful in giving the
trees the right form, and giving the
fruit the benefit of the sun and air,
and removing limbs that cross each
orther, or will soon do so.
As to the season, we all like to use
the pruning knife in the Spring, say
in March, April or May. This we.
may do on small limbs, ; we mean
very small ones. But if we imine at
that time the larger limbs, we shall
find an oozing of sap, a black stem
and decaying stump, but if the prun
ing is done in the latter part of February-
or the month of March, or in Ju
ly, and August, no such bad result
will follow. The writer would avoid
mid-winter, although he once pruned
thorough bearing trees during Jan
uary, without any apparent bad re
sult. Very few limbs should be removed
as such wounds are a long time in
healing, but if done the cut surface
should be covered with paint.
It is well in pruning to le.we suffici
ent shade to the body on the south
side of the tree to protect it from the
sun. With this object in view, it has
been very fashionable to form the
heads of the apple trees very low,
quite too low for convenience in cul
tivation. We have some trees form
ing, the head from one to two feet
from the ground, which we find in
convenient to cultivate.
It is inconvenient to cultivate or
gather fruit from such trees. The
. heads of trees should be iust hiirh
enough to admit a team to pass under
them ; when they bear the limbs will
bend to the ground, some of them.
In cutting off limbs it is a matter of
some importance that the stumps
should be right; not too long, as the
new growth would not cover it. Nor
should it be cut too close to leave a
large wound. A small, stiff bucksaw
works well in pruning, and all surfa
ces, more than, say three fourths of
an inch in diameter, should be paint
ed and then no smoothing of the sur
face is necesoary.
While 1 am writing I will mention
that some 25 years ago, I discovered
by experimenting, that a decoction or
infusion of quassia, was sure to destroy
the aphis or leaf louse, hut had no ef
fect on the bark louse. Ifc does not
injure the foilage in the least. This
was my own discovery, and published
in the early numbers of the Prairie
Farmer. This is cheaper and more
pleasant to handle than tobacco; it
does not kill the lice instantly, but
in the course of two days they die and
drop off.
Burn the Potatoe Tines.
There is a certain kind of potatoe
bug called the stem borer which is very
destructive. The injury it does is im
mense ; still it does not attract much
attention. The editor of the Phila
delphia Weekly Press has found a
method for destroying rhem:
"We bought a piece of land adjoin
ing our farm, last spring, very favora
ble for the potatoe, on which wo pro
posed ourselves to rnise a model crop.
The first week in August the stems
were green 'and growing at the end
of the second week they dried up.
Slitting the stems near the ground we
found them hollow bored by the bar
ridius which explained their sudden
death. An acre measured on digging
175 bushels of saleable, -0 of what are
commonly called seed, and eleven of
small sizes. But for the borer, there
would certainly have been one-third
more.- The larvaie being in the stems
these were collected and burned.
Hundreds jof thousands are thus de
stroyed, saving by so much our future
crops.
But there are some neighbors we
cannot reach. Their potatoe haulm
will lie in the sun till the insects get
out into the ground- We shall have
our share of them next year, we sup
pose. There should be a law to com
pel insect destruction in such cases."
. m -
Skim milk applied with a syringe
to infected vines, is recommended to
destroy currant worms. Worms, they
say, breathe through their skins ; stop
the breathing holes and they die.
Milk does that ; perhaps molases and
water, say equal parts, would accom
plish the same result so would glue
or gum water.
A droll wag of a fellow who had a
wooden leg, being in company with a
man who was somewhat credulous,
the latter said :
"How came you to have a wooden
leg."
"Why' said the other man, "my
father had one, and sodid my grand
father bsfore him. It runs in the family."
Good Farming Implements are the
b'sls of success In making tho farm
pay. Without these, thouRli the soil and
climate arc favorable, farming In the nine
teenth century cannot be made profitable, aa
the basis of nil prlcca la upon that which can
be produced mostfiuecessfulJy, with the least
labor. In the greatest quantity, on a given
am. unt of laud. The first requisite to farm
ing Ik a good Plow, one that will scour readl-
' ly in all soils, and is made of the best mate
rial upon scientific principles based upon the
experlcnceof centuries. The Canton Clipper
Plow will be found the plow combining those
qualities In the greatest degree. As Corn is
the staple cropof this "section, n good Corn
PJanter is a desideratum to profitable farm
ing not to be got along without. Such mi one
ii Selby's Union Corn Planter. The next
implement Is a good Cultivator; such is Par
lin's Wallclng Cultivator. It Is easily man
aged, does it8 work well, with case to the
horses, and is durable. In small grain an
implement Is needed that does Its work well
In all kinds of grain, in all conditions and
positions ; one that works as well In grass a?
grain, and is of light, uniform draft on the
horses. This means the John P. Manny
Reaper and Mower. A Stalk Cutter is also
necessary, and no better can be found than
Cole's. All of these, together with nil the
lesser implements, such as Hand Corn Plan

Skcon-i Beci-jse the peculiar twLst of the plow
makes them scour in all kinds of soil.
Thiko Because they are made of the best materi
