r P' .. Ct r"5s3r: rT-? - - -.a2-JL-" g I PjfalHS&lltowtKlW. AGRICULTURAL. It. W. rURNAS, Editor. THURSDAY, JUNE 9, 1870. Last week we made n visit to the Eheep farm of S. Cocbran, eight miles west of this place, where we found him and eight or ten other men busy shearing his sheep. He has on his place fifteen hundred fine grade sheep and one hundred and sixty Cashmere Goats. They are all healthy and in good order. The clip of his sheep Is an excellent average. "We brought in with us one ileece, weighing eight pounds. To show the excellent con dition of the flock, we mention that Mr. C. offered $1 per tick, or per case of serious diseases. One tick was found in shearing two hundred sheep. Mr. Cochran has the reputation of being -a successful wool grower, and his efforts, thus far, in this county warrants the conclusion. Mr. Cochran has a fine lot of wool, aud put up in No. 1 style, each fleece being tied up separately and ueatly. "We are pleased to welcome In our midst Dr. Q. E. Kimball, of the Bos&Hill Orchard and Nursery, Iowa City, Iowa, and T. T. Southwick, of the Commercial Nurseries, New York, who are on a tour of observation in our State. We have long known these gentlemen Intimately by cor respondence, and consequently feel when wo meet them that they are. old friends. They are both delighted with our country, especially Mr. Southwick, who Is on his first visit west. After taking a look along the river they went into the interior of the State. There will be some money invested in Nebraska lauds before they return. Early Eose Potatoe. "We commenced using Early Hose Potatoes this year, on the last day of May. They were planted early, but wiih no particular pains, and were cut down to the ground once by frost. Our faith in the Early Eose, as an early and valuable variety, In all re spects, is strengthened by experience. It is an extra good keeper, and a first rate winter eating potatoe. SlajorPearman's Nursery. We maue a Hying trip to jseorasua City last week, when we took a very hasty look at Maj. Pearman's Nur sery, near that place. He has a very nice assortment of everything in his -line, nnd all doing well. He has some very fine specimens of imported Evergreens. We intend to spend more time with the Major, and write more in detail of his operations. m i "We are indebted to Parlin & Or exdorf, of Canton, 111., for a copy of the Premium list of the Fulton county Agricultural Society, for the year 1870. The premiums are very liberal. $500 for the best display of cattle, not less than ten head ; $500 for the best boar aud sow with five pigs, of any breed. Fair to be held Octo ber 11th, 12th, 13th and 14th. Utah Pomologist. We are in re ceipt of the second number of the Utah Pomologist, edited and publish ed by our "friend of old," Jos. E. Johnson, St. George, Utah. We welcome this new periodical to our exchange list, and congratulate our friend Johnson in his effort to advance tee-growing in Utah. Buckthorn for Hedges. The-buckthorn, a small indigenous tree growing to the height of twelve feet, posses more of the requisites needed for forming a satisfactory hedge in this climate, than any other Jlaut with which we are acquainted, tis hard beyond question. Its foli age is abundant and ample, and re mains long upon the plant. It bears any amount of cutting kindly. Its roots are mostly fibrous, and do not extend from the plant. It does not throw up suckers from about its Toots. It is not liable to be destroyed by mice or insects, and is not subject to injury by animals. It grows closely and has a strong spine or thorn and after a few years, when well cared for, it becomes a strong, formable defense that cattle will not pass. This plant is so hardy and so little subject to injury, that in miles of hedges with which we are acquaint ed, we have scarcely known a plant to die, except in cases where they have been wnolly neglected. Mr. A. J. Downing had a large experience in growing hedges, aud used many different plants for this purpose. He also made a careful observation of the hedges in this country, and in Europe. In one of his letters from England he says : "The chief differedce between an English rural landscape, and the harsh and ricketty aspect of a farm, at home, is in the universality of ver dant hedges, and the total absence of all other fences." The hedges, for the most part of hawthorn, divide all the larms, fields, and lino all the road sides, and even the borders of the railways. The majority of these are only trimmed once a year. Hence, for a farm hedge, a plant should be chosen that will grow thick of itself, and with this only single annual clip pine, and which will adapt itself to all soils. I am therefore confirmed in. my belief that buckthorn is the farm er's hedge for America, and I am also satisfied, that it will make a better and far more- durable hedge, than the hawthorn does even here." Any ono familiar with Mr. Downiug's writings, or who are at all acquainted with his habit of close observation, and his mature judgement of forming his opinion, should at least give his opinion, Avlien so decidedly expressed as much considered as they do the statements of those interested and irresponsible men who are trying to sell theip favorite plants, and who scarcely know, and care little, what a good hedge plant should be. M.JIast inrjs, in Utica Herald. i Yineyards of the Shine. Correspondence of the 2f ew York Times. The vineyards of the Rhine are on the hill-slopes at their bases. So steep are many of these declivities that it is necessary to employ basket work to maintain the little soil that remains on the oft-washed-ancient rocks. Fresh soil, to cover the places that have been washed bars, is often brought from a distance. Baskets of earth are in many instances appropri ated to one vine. The terraces, where the slope is not too steep, are made in the soil, but are more usually staces a i?ge ps in the kill-side, support- ed uy waua oi masonry, lour to twelve feet high. These are filled in iiueartn, and the space on which the tiers of vines grow are thus made level or slightly inclined plane. The walls are furnished with rough stairs. "Vine dressers, both male and female, have often to carry manure packed in baskets, on their backs, up these stairs, to a height of 900 and 1,000 feet and plant, prune, cultivate and strip the grape vines at this attitude, is very dangerous occupation, but one which the Rhine peasantry are well accus tomed to. Some of the 'wine at Rudesheim Is cultivated at a height of l,0o0 feet above the level of the sea, Three and a half feet Is the usual dis tance between the vines. The stem or trunk of each vine in the ridge is two feet from its neighbor. For old and well grown vines it is the usual custom to drive in an extra stake. When this is done the space between them is seltlom more than a 'foot. Great precesion is observed in con struction of many vineyards. The height of the stakes is generally four feet. A trellis fence is frequently con structed for the last rows of the vines to trail over. Every precaution is taken for the rays of the sun to fall directly upon them; The direction of ridges generally is from south west to north-east, with a southern aspect. A spot sheltered from the wind and exposed to the sun is more desirable, Xight fogs are considered detriment al. The vines of the Rhine after fif ty or a hundred years growth, are taken up, as they lose vigor after that time, and the soil is exposed for two or three years. The roots of such vines, especially of the Orleans varie ty, have been found to be eighteen and twenty feet long. Slate rock of a peculiar kind is used as a manure in certain parts of the Rhine districts, and is found beneficial in generating them about the roots of the vine. The vintage time is the month of Novem ber, in planting young vineyards the cuttings of the vines are placed in boles about an inch and a half wide and three feet deep, drilled in soil that has Jain fallow for two or three years, and are manured with loam, and what we would call much. The allowance to a single hole is about three cuttings. These cuttings are severed from ma ture vines in the autumn, 'and for about six weeks in the spring the ex tremeties at which the cut has been made are steeped in water of a mod erately high temperature. Electing of Horticulturists. The meeting of the Hqrticultrists on last Saturday for the purpose of making preliminary arrangements for the meeting of the State Society on June 15th, although not as largely attended as it should have been yet evinced considerable enthusiasm and determination among those present. Several committies were appointed with power to enlarge their numbers as they saw proper. Quite a number were placed on the committies who were not present, but for their well known horticultural tastes and the interest they will feel in an afinir of this kind, as well as the assent of at least a portion of them, it was thought tney "would De pleased to Help in so good a work. The committies ap pointed were asfollws : Finance committee L. A. "Walker, Herman Kountze and A. D. Jones. Room committee J. Evans, J. H. Lacy and J. H. Pickens. Committee of Arrangements J. T. Allen, C. Y. Ryan, C. M. Aumack, Mrs. J. McCormick, Mrs,. A. D. Jones, Mrs. J. W. Towsley, Mrs. J. H. La cey, Mrs. A. P. Saunders, Mrs. Haw ver, Mrs. DImmick, Mrs. O. F. Da vis, Mrs. "Win. Lawton, Miss Hults, Miss Peihmer, Miss Kellom, Miss Ab by Shaw, Miss Frost. Committee of Entertainment J. W. Towsley. Dr. G. B. Graff, A. D. Jones, Dr. G. L. Miller. The meeting adjourned to meet Sat urday afternoon (June 4), in the office of the Central Union Agriculturalist, at 4 o'clock. Everybody is expectod to attend, and the committies are ex pected to be on hand to report. Come friends, a long pull, a strong pull, a pull altogether.. The expense is small.

James Pine, Sec. Omalia Hcpubliean. Sex in Potatoes. Mr. Editor. In JRural World, April 30th, I find Perry, of Saratoga, contends that in every varietj' of the vegetable, as in the animal world, there is male and female. This we are iuny prepared 10 ueiieve m? iuv the bloom is concerned- Ag:thi, he saj's: "ot tne potatoe STje end is male aud the other female the female end producing more ana of better quality than the male eua, and the potatoes not so liable to t when the female end alone is pitted." I guess Mr. Perry cuthis pf$3ioe3 to single eyes and planted the stem end, aud it did'ut come up sll hence he sud denly arrived ntilu1 conclusion that it was a niasculiini y'nap ; then, meet ing such good result from planting the other end, he se!$ that dou n fe male. After a few mounts thought on the subject, I contrail thr.t tijs fntm rli tlocr inVnr rF tla ptil?..r ? 3 -': the same principle is developed in the potato that we see in trees and vines the tendency to the better develop ment of top buds. "We know that the higher buds on the vine always push first, because they are stronger or bet ter developed. Just so, precisely with the potato. The buds at the base, or around the stem end of the potato, are not, as a rule, so well developed as the blossom end buds; sometimes they are in round potatoes but in long potatoes the blossom end or up per buds or eyes are much the strong est, and as a matter of certainty would produce better fruit. Just upon the same principle that the highest'appie upon the tree is the best. Springfield, Mo. Potato. nut jiuuuiiujiuj u iiigomin.-ir;f.j;tij Instinct in Vegetables. The root constitutes the plant's mouth. It terminates in a little sponge. The sponge drinks up the moisture from the surrounding earth. A simple experiment proves that whatever an amputated branch may do for an hour, the mouth of the plant is necessary to its permanent vitality, Two plants are placed, for this pur pose side by side, in contigouous ves sels. The roots of the one are in wa ter or moist and fruitful earth, while a layer of dry sand surrounds the stem aliove. It flourishes. The roots of the second are in dry sand, while the water or fruitful earth surrounds the stem. It dies. Indeed one need not try such experiments. Nature hits demonstrations quite as striking. Every boy has seen in the woods, the roots of some tree, planted by some birds or the windsj in a crevice of a rock, w'audering down the sides of the great boulder in search of nour ishment. Dr. Davy tells of a case in which a horse chestnut, growing on a flat stone, sent out its roots to forage for food. They passed up a contigu ous wall of seven feet, turned at the top, and passing down on the other side, found, the needed nourishment there, which their own barren home denied them. Thus closely does the instinct of vegetation imitate the wisdom of animate creation. In an other instance, narrated by Malhef be, an acacia threw its roots across a hollow of sixty feet, to find its labors rewarded by the discovery of a well of water, in.which they plunged, and from which they drew the food it bo much needed. "What strange sense draw them toward the water rather than toward the rock orsand ? A yet more singular instance of this search for foodris narrated by Wallace"' In his "Malay Archipelago.-" A seed had 'been dropped by one of Nature's husbandmen, a bird, in the decaying trunk of an old tree. It sprouted, put forth roots, branches, a little stem. But Its roots In vuln sought nourishment at the breasts of ite dying foster-mother. At length, abandoning all hope of support from her, they pushed out from home to seek a living. They dropped to the ground, a distance of sixty or seventy feet, and fastening there succeeded In securing an independent livelihood. As time passed on the old trunk died, decayed and disappeared. The new tree remained suspended, as it were, in mid-air the roots proceeding down ward, and the branches upward from a point about equi-distant betweeuthe two. It is not thu3 alone that the root ex hibits its intelligence. It displays equal sagacity in selecting from the soil only those elements which its plant requires. Sometimes it errs, and drinks in deadly poison. But its native instinct is more rarely at fault than the supposed superior wis dom of man. Trees rarely eat un wisely. They are never "guilty of gluttony. Yet if the root be the principle feed er of the plant, the chief source of supply for its marvelous circulation, it does not alone fulfill this office. The leaves also absorb moisture from the air. "Jn burning days of sum mer,"'sflys M. Pouchet, "I have found carpets of ice plants on the most arid rocks of Greece. Althouprlt had not rained for a month -these plants dis played a remarkable freshness, and their leaves were none the les3 cover ed with icicles." Harper's Magazine. i 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 Nebras ka wheat brings the highest aud fan ciest prices. Almost evervbodv knows also that it is quite a common tiling for farmers to raise enough dur ing the first year to pay for their land aud pay for plowing and for 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 that in 1857 he raised eight acres of wheat, which stood so thick and heavy on the ground that he was compelled to rent a quartersection of land adjoin ing, to shock it up on, there wasn't room in the field where it grew. Probably some Minnesota farmer can overgo that. Little Blue. n i r- Nebraska is second to no State in the Union in an agricultural noiuf of view. We can raise.on an average, more corn, wheat or potatoes, than any other portion of our domain. In tuis way we defy competition. We have less failures, surer crops and bet ter farmers. Intelligent farmers of the worn out eastern States, who are wasting their capital on almost bar ren lands, would do well to hasten to Nebraska, and secure some of our lands with, garden soil, while there is yet room.

An exchange says : It is said by tra elers in Virginia that one of the singular sights growing out of the war is a continuous Iineof peach trees of nearly fifty miles in length, around Petersburg, and extending toward Richmond. They are growing from the breast works thrown up by the rebel army, and are the only legacv left by the poor fellows, who were oil the advauce line within one hundred yards of our forces. Saving eaten the fruit while on picket duty, they cast the seed aside, and now they ap pear in one continues line of forty-five miles of beautiful trees, which yield ed an. abundant croplast year. ii The Nebraska City Chronicle savs : Tfcera. have been more forest and fruit trees planted in Otoe county this spring, than ever before in one year. The prQiH.of growing such a crop on either farE or town lot, is so easily estimated ihat every owner of land is planting. . -. .j . m Good Finding Implements are the basis of shocks in making tho farm pay. WifUqjit these, though the soil and climate s?c favorable, farming in the nine teenth catitfy cannot be made profitable, as the bricr all prices Is upon that which can be p?-nip.-;d most successfully, with tho least itia- in the greatest quantity, on a given muountof lend. The first reouislte to farm ing Is a good Plow, one that will scour readi ly in all soils, and Is made of the best mate rial upon scientific principles based upon the experience of 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 Corn Planter is a desideratum to profitable farm ing not to begot along without. Such an one Is Selby's Union Com Planter. Tho next implement is a good Cultivator; such is Par lin's Walking Cultivator. It is easily man aged, does its work well, with ease to the horses, and 1 durable. In small grain an Implement is needed that docs 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 neccssary,-and no better can be found than Cole's.
