Tree Stealing Again.
Last year, it will be recollected by
our readers, that we hud occasion to
complain of fruit trees being stolen
from our orchard after having been
' planted; The same fellow, or "some
of "the sarao sort," seems to bo about
again this Spring. He or they are
lazy fellows too. They do not go into
the nursery row and dig up to suit
themselves, but wait till they arc lift
ed and heeled in. We repeat, we ad-
. mire the taste of the depredators, and
will present any man with a hundred
Peach trees who will identify t'heni.
Hot that we care so-much about the
loss, but would like to make the fellow1 8
acquaintance.

Trees on Declivities.
We deem it rather remarkable, Bays
the Jl uralist, that we find, in visiting
fruit growing districts jn Europe, in
our last visit, five years since, the best
cultivators there, when they could,
planted their orchards or vineyards
on a gentle sloping hill, with a south
eastern aspect, experience having
taught them, as they stated to us, that
such was the best situation for an
orchard or vineyard. Dodart first
observed that trees pushed their
branches in a direction parallel to the
surface of the earth. If a tree stands
on a steep hill side, it pushes both to
wards the hill and the declivity ; but
on both sides it still preserves its
branches parallel to the surface. As
there is attraction between the upper
surface of leaves and light, we are
also pursuaded, and more than
that, certain of it from experiment,
that there is an attraction of the same
nature between the under surface and
- earth. This we consider the true
cause of the phenomenon. We had
Jong observed that the most fruit
ful orchards, and most fertile trees,
are those planted on a declivity, and
the steeper it is, though not quite a
?recipice, the more prolific they prove,
t is well know that the spreading of
trees always renders them fruitful. On
the plane they incline to shoot up
ward; and, therefore, art is employed
by skillful gardners, and applied in
various waysHo check their perpeudic
ular and promote their lateral growth.
But this point is obtained on a decliv
ity by nature. There a tree loses its
tendency, although its character of
growth may bo that way, to shoot up
ward, and in order to preserve its
branches parallel with the surface, is
constrained to put them in a lateral
direction. Hence an important rule

FRUIT GROWING, TREE PEDLEBS,
ETC., ETC.
Editor Advertitcr z Yonr valuable
paper is at hand. L am glad 16 see
you have live fruit growers in your
young State, and wish you the great
est success. Experience keeps a dear
school and that schooling we have
had here in Minnesota; and a fe'wjn
structive lessons from our successes
and failures, and many of the causes
of those failures, may be of some
benefit to the new beginners in your
region. 4 -? ;; . . . . ,i
Climate has worked hard upon us
here, of which I will give details at
another time; but far worse ha3 been
the base frauds and swindles of tree
dealers, Jn selling worthless rubbish
under false names, and at the robber's
prices. Thousands yearly are swin
dled out of the people of Minnesota
by humbug tree dealers some in and
some out of the State. To successfully
expose them is no easy matter with
out a union of tree planters a lack
we yet suffer from in Minnesota.
Though we have a so-called Horticul
tural society, and make some fine
printed reports one is a fraud and
the other also. The thing is run by a
small-fry of nurserymen and tree
dealers, save where a big salesman
drops in from another State, with
honorable credentials in his pocket,
to puff his credibility, and thereby
insure his frauds through the society's
reports. They are a set of expert an
glers ; none know how to hide the
hook, and perfume, the bate better
than they, and few ever done it more
successfully. They go on themotto,
"in union there is strength ;" and till
the tree planters adopt the same mode
to expose them, we will be swindled,
and the progress of, fruit culture re
tarded. Our salvation is in organiz
ing anew, with a code of honor, and a
bond of union as well; but if your
State society is in the hands of live
fruit growers, you are all right, if at
once you adopt safe guards similar to
the following, which we presented at
the last meeting of our State society,
but which was overwhelmingly voted
down, and not even the ayes and
nays allowed us.
Jicsoh-ed, That this society will receive no
delegates from any State Horticultural Socl
clcty, against whom a cha rge of corruption
Is prefcred by any member of this Society,
till the case Is fully investicated.
Second, That any member of thia Society
who shall feel himself grossly injured by any
nurseryman or tree dealer, shall be allowed
to enter his complaint on the minutes of the
Society; unless In the opinion of the Society
the charges are not well founded.
Three-nurserymen, to-wit: F. Mol
ton, O. F. Brand andW.E.Brimball,
voted to sustain the resolutions, and
they were also sustained by two ama
turecultuiists Judge D. A. J. Baker
and Peter M. Gideon. The Secretary
of the Society, John H. Stevens, Ed
itor of thfe Farmers' Union, headed
the opposition, and made no mention
of the proceedings in his reports for
sooth, he advertises for them.
These resolutions were offered right
on the heels of one they passed with
only one dissenting voice, (that of
your humblo writer,) advising tree
planters to buy only Minnesota grown-
trees, though the majority of them
dealt largely in trees grown in other
States. So if you have the reins,
make them tight while you can. We
have to cut and start anew. Don't be
deceived, though a big man, with a
big belly, and a big puff of self-importance,
a large stock -of trees, "just
suited to your wants," comes along.
We are prepared from dear experience
to give pedigree " he that asketh
shall receive" gratis.
Fruit growers are the exception.
All other callings, good or evil, have a
code of honor, and so must we if we
would succeed. Fruit growing is a
noble calling. With it civilization
has ever kept pace, whether upward
or downward ; and it's our duty to see
that it goes upward, and only in hon
est deal can it be done. Weare plun
dered and defrauded by a class whose!
desire is for money; and tobettersub
serve their interests, we are asked to
go to horse-racing fairs to do homage
to blacklegs. To bolster baseness that
can't live on its own respectability,
our presence, countenance, and dona
tions are asked ; and, sorry to say, too
many that grow fruit lend themselves
to such base ends. We can, and
should, show without them ; but with
out us they sink, as all other baseness
is bound to do when the countenance
of the moral is withheld.

Grape Cure for Consumption.
The use of grapes, according to ac
counts recently published during the
past two or three years, has been very
successfully applied to the cure of
consumption in its earlier and less de
cided stages, in particular. The
"grape process" is conducted now to
a considerable extent on the Banks of
the Rhine, where several physicians
have establishmentsin which patients
afflicted with consumption, or with
deranged digestive organs, are treated
by eating grapes, as in other places
they are by drinking water.. The pa
tients assemble in the garden twice a
day, and each fills a basket with the
grapes, under the watchful eye of a
special doctor. They sit down to
slowly suck the juices of the fruit,
while lively music is played in their
hearing. From four to six weeks is
the time required for a cure. This
story, if true, may prove a sad dis
couragement to doctors and proprie
tors of quack medicines, which are
upheld to cure consumption ; but we
believe the main virtue of the "grape
process" will be found in the regular
ity of habits which the treatment
otherwisc-imposes. A gentleman for
many years connected with a celebra
ted water-cure, once told us that this
imposition of regularity in sleeping,
eating, drinking, bathing and walk
ing constituted all the virtue that ex
isted in the water-cure process. Chi

of future enjoyment did not tremble
for the safety of his trees, and what
owner of stock unsheltered witnessed
their terrible sufFri'ngs through those
three dreadful days, did not resolve
that he, at least, would improve the
present Spring to plant trees for the
benefit of his poor, suffering brutes?
"Thn mornifnl is merciful to his beast,"
and old freighters, at least appreciate
the value oi a paicn ui urusn, u

the farmers of Nebraska, the import
ance of surrounding every building,
orchard and stock yard, with a good
nnrl cnfllniint wind-break of timber
not even omitting a row of trees along
the roadside. But to plant trees in
every out-of-the-way place in every
nook and corner where & tree can find

Don't be afraid that it will not pay,
for it will pay. Don't say that you
have not time, for you have time.
Sow less wheat and plant more trees,
and soon, from your increased enjoy
ment, you'll decide that it was wise.
The glad songs of the happy birds, as
they seek your groves to build their
nests, to rear their young will proclaim
with each morning anthem, that it is
wise. And when'you note that the
vast number of insects, that prey up
on your growing plants, daily destroy
ed by these melodious friends, yourself
will vote that it pays. And when you
reach their yards in the morning, the
sleek coats and satisfied looks of your
beasts will prove a benediction, and
future generations will call you bless
ed. Bo not delay another day for the
seasoii is upon you, but go at once to
the roads, to the sand-bars, to the
nurseries, procure enough, procure a
variety, and remove them at once to
your home, and if your grounds are
not prepared heel them in.
Next,plow, harrow and prepare the

Cultivate sufficiently to keep down
the weeds, and in three years if the
rapid growing kinds have been plant
edyou will have tall, straight, grow
ing trees, of a size that will begin to
furnish fuel and need thinning out.
Farmers J sDeak from the book of
some experience. Try my plan, better
it where you can j .but plant trees.
The season for planting timber and
fruit tree's is near, and it becomes ev
ery farmer to avail himself of it ; aside
from the prospect of future profit in
the growth of timber, its benefits as a
wind-break, the value that a thrifty
grove adds to a farm, the beauty
which is given to the landscape, the
refined and cultivated sentiments
which are engendered to the home on
which each tree has been planted bjr
your own hands, there is a present
and immediate source of revenue to
be derived from the cultivation of tim
ber which is not generally known.
The Legislature at its last session,
passed "An Act to encourage the
growth of timber and fruit trees' by
which the sum of one hundred dollars
annually for five years, is exempted
from taxation for each acre of timber
planted and cultivated, and fifty dol
lars for each acre of fruit trees. Ifc al
so provides, where parties are living
on homesteads, and have no realty
subject to taxation, the deduction
shall be made from their personalty.
The law we believe to be justandgen
erous ; and Aire hope the farmers of
our State will avail themselves of it.
When Nebraska shall be dotted all
over with groves, no region will equal
her in beautiful scenery, as none sur
passes her in fertility of soil. Fre

Tlic- Horse of all Tvorlc..
He weighs from ten,"to twelve hun
dred. He is pony built ; in other
words, well and evenly developed.
He is docile, strong and hardy. "He
is any color that happens, but in the
good time coming he will shed the
mongrel coat, and appear in jet black
chestnut or blood bay ; breeders will
learn not to mix colors, but to secure
"fixty of type," in thatas in other re
spects. The horse of all work can go as fast
as gentlemen drive say ten miles an
hour. That speed should never be
required of him on a full stomache,
grass diet or poor fit. His forte is-en-durance
and not speed. He is emin
ently practical. He has talent, not
genius. He is ready to do anything
that needs to be done. He keeps easy,
lives longer and has fewer ailments,
than the fleet racer or the huge draft,
horse. The horse that I have describ
ed is about the only horse needed in
this American Republic. He may,
like imported Messenger, Patchen,
Green Mountain Morgan, have speed
as well as strength. The horse for
"long distances must be a horse with
power to draw a load. It is eminent
ly proper to cultivate speed so far as
it can be done without sacrificing
strength and endurance. A horse
that can trot twenty miles within an
hour, as "John Stewart," a Philadel
phia horse, and some others have
clone can trot ten miles with ease, and
without much 1 ability to injury.
A horse with a good constitution,
good size and proportions, capable of
drawing a plow or a heavy load over
muddy roads, is all the better for be
ing fast. If breeders were wise that
description of' horses would now be
common.
I am thoroughly convinced that
there is one model of a horse that
every American breeder should pat
tern after and reproduce. There is
but little use for any other kind in
this country. Doctor, lawyer, mer
chant minister and farmer, all want a
docile, compact, symmetrical, hardy
animal, weighing from ten to twelve
hundred. Such horses. do Jarm work
profitably. If the work is too heavy
two two use three.
Farmers make a great mistake if
they do not provide themselves with
the horse plows, harrows and wagons;
thus the same driver can accomplish
a third more at the same time.
Three thousand three hundred
pounds of horse material, if done up
in three parcels is far more available
than in two. You can then rake hay
while you are drawing it, and if per
sistently besieged spare your wife the
old horse to go to the sewing society
with. An eleven hundred liorse,
properly made up answers well for the
farmer, and is about right for the pro
fessional man, who often has long
drives over bad roads. Let breeders
then as a general rule aim to produce
horses weighing eleven hundred
pounds ; compact, muscular and 'as
:fast as tou cart are't them. "Rnfc-nevpr

'H. HrG.lX'awrence"Eransas,writ
ing to the Journal of Agriculture,
says :
Jjlvergreens, though: not natives of
thb,; great Western Prairie, seem to
thrive where planted vith care, and
Wkirid of trees arc half so beautiful
the year round ; besides they make
one of the finest screens. The only
objection to them with many planters
is that they do not grow well after
transplanting. I planted,, last spring,
over sixty-five trees, of Austrian and
SnntGh nines. Balsam and Norway
snrticeahd cedars, ahout the" first of
May. I took them up. with care,- left
all the dirton them that would adhere
to the roots, and, dug a hole large
enough to admit tire roots without
crowding them, only a little deeper
than they stood in the nursery, and
put the bes't, fresh, fine dirt next to
their roots, and when the hole was
nearly half full I poured in a little
water, filled the rest with earth, press
ing it firmly around the roots, not too
hard. Only two died. The rest
made a good growth. With some I
put coarse river sand, some small
stones, and would have used rotted
manure if I had it; fresh manure or
coae litter is not good, but well rot
ted barn yard manure is. good either
in the hole or on top. When put in
the hole there should not be too much
in a place. Pig manure is stronger
and less will do.
Evergreens in door yards can -be:
amazingly improved in color of foil-,
age, by a liberal appIieatioirof cow or
pig manure put on top'of the ground
and covered with dirt to hide it; the
old sod or dirt may be removed to
cover the manure, with. I knew one
planter who would dig a hole andline
it with dried cow manure, picked up
in the pasture. He had good success.
I never tried it in the West, butiutend
to do so this spring.
Good Farming Implements are the
basis of success In making the farin
pay. "Without these, though the soil and
climate are favorable, farming In the nine
teenth century cannot be made protltable, as
the basis of all prices Is upon that which can
be produced most successfully, with the least
labor, in the greatest quantity, on a given
amount of land. The first requisite to farm
ing Is a good Plow, oue that will scour readi
ly in all soils, and Is made of the best mate
rial upon scientific principles based upon the
expcrlenceof centuries. The Canton Clipper
Plow will be found the plow combining these
qualities in the greatest degree. As Corn Is
the staple crop of this section, a good Com1
Planter Is a desideratum to profitable farm
ing not to be got along without. Such an one
is Selby's Union Com Planter. The next
Implement is a good Cultivator; such is Tari
lin's Walking Cultivator. It Is easily man
aged, does its work well, with ease 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 as
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 all the
lesser Implements, such as Hand Corn plan
ters, Hay Knives, Forks, Spades, '"Rakes,
Hoes, etc, can be examined and purchased at

Weir's Cultivator has not only stood the past eight
vears. but is wowlmr more and more nonular. It
received the FIRST HOX0R3 at the Illinois State
Fair in 1SCT. and the MEDAL VREJSIV2C at the St.
Louis Fair inlS68, where were over twenty-five dlf-
lerent wanting uumvaiors in competition: tne
FIRST PREMIUM fAVka Great Flld Trial at St.
Louis Fair, 18G9,ordered by theMissouri State Board
of Agriculture: FIRST PREMIUM at 61 District
and County Fairs lnJ8G9.
During the eight years our Plow has been In the
market it has PRO VIU ITSELF RELIABLE at all
times, and where others fall It gives universal satis
faction. THERE ARE OVER -25,000 -EV USE:
It Cultivates the ground deeper than any other
Machine of the kind, and by an arrangement of the
Joint it can be made to work as well alter six year's
usageas when Hrst put Into the Held. We have let
ters from more than a thousand farmers, informlre
us of its durability and wneral good qualities, and
recommend It as the BEST CULTIVATOR iy USE:
IT POSSESSES MAXY ADVANTAGES OYER
OTHER C0RX PLOWS:
1. It is so simple that it can be operated by a boy.
2. By means of a peculiar twist in the Diamond
Shovels, (a late improvement,) -we1 avoid all side
pmntrct, wneiner tne snoveis are se 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, thehorses'necfcs.as well its the wheels,
are relieved of all downward, pressure.
4. By means of a patent square frame, the knuck
les are held in an exact vertical ixjsition. 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 nimseir ana norses, ana thus .save the wages
and board of a hired man , which is equal per month
to the price of the machine,
