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.

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

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

at 4 o'clock. Everybody is expectod
to attend, and the committies are ex
pected to be on hand to report. Come

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.

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. Nebraska City Times.

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.

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.

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. All of these, together with nil the
lesser Implements, such as Hand Corn Plan
ters, Hay Knives, Porks, Spades, Rakes,
Iloes, etc., can be examined nnd purchased at
