Wc are pleased to announce that James T. Allen, of the Omaha Herald, an enthusinstic agriculturist, horticul turist, pomologist, &c, and member of the State Hoard of Agriculture, aftcrCreTpeated solicitations, lias gone, or will go in a few days, to the Rocky Mountains, for the purpose of collect ing a fewHhousand specimens of the va'rious Rocky Mountain Evergreens. Mr. Allen had on exhibition at the -June meeting of the State Horticul tural Society at Omaha, a small but very rare collection of plants from the inountains.umong which were some fine specimens of evergreens, new to most persons, and greatly admired. The Rocky Mountain Conlcrtc is con sidered, we believe, peculiar to that region, and both rare and superior in many respects, uno ceuars or rue braska, esjecially those found on the Blue, are rare, and much more desira ble for ornamental purposes than those from other parts of the country. Mr. Allen now goes, as before said, at the solicitation of a few friends of arborculture for the purpose named. Wft llflDO. lift m.W ' onnwaofiil. J that his efTorts may result in the in troduction and growing of new and valuable evergreens. We hope Mr. Allen will also take pains to collect what evergreen seeds he can obtain. "Wc are pleased to meet and make the acquaintance of T. H. Garlick, of the firm of Veitch fc Co., manufactur ers of Woolen Goods and Yarns, Oak land, Iowa. Mr. G. is here both to sell goods and make arrangements for a removal to this place or vicinity. "Wo think he. can find no better loca tion and hope he may be suited. "We ask our boy readers to peruse carefully the article in to-days Issue 'Boys can Beautify the Farm." The girls might read itj with profit, too. TIjejideas therein suggested will not only i. "beautify the farm," but the home everywhere In town and city," as well as on (he farm. Hoys can Beautify the Farm. If the farm is to look better next year than it ha3 this, if it Is to be made an attractive spot for all future time, the chances are that the boy must take;the matter in hand. It Is fitting that they should plant the trees and vines, since they and not their fathers will enjoy the benefit of their shade. A farm, whatever be Its location, may be made beautiful without the expenditure" of money. The materials can be found in the nearest forest and along the banks of the neighboring streams. Trees are io.the landscape what pictures are to the walls of a room. Vines are a sort of natural tapestry, suggestive alike of gracefulness and beauty. Fortun ately there are few neighborhoods, even in this prairie country where there are not trees and vines suitable for transplanting, that can be obtain ed for the asking and digging. Taste ftilly arranged about the homestead they would trail form it from the dreary place it is into a rural para dise. The present is the fitting time to set about it, and the persons to en gage in the enterprise are the boys. To begin with, the side of the road in front of the farm should be decora ted. Here is a strip of land ordinari ly of no use except to rai3o weeds, the seods of which find .their way in to the adjacent fields. It has become the fashion in many places to Bet here a uniform row of the same kiil of trees at the s-nine distance apart. Now it must be admitted that this is an improvement on a barren waste ; but, after all, they have an exceed ing iornuu iook, reminding us oi a row of telegraph polos. " A better plan would be- to plow a strip, six or eight feet wide, coming as near as possible to the fence, ami to plant a greater variety of trees with leas re gard to lines and distances. We late ly rode thromrlmn avenue in Toron to, Canada, which was; in this re spect, a model of taste. The trees otwtl ns wo tfmi them in a welf grove ; some singly, others in groups; nowceveral of the same kind, amj again a dozen varieties internerscd. and all so skillfully done that we rode for some distance thinkingjtho street had been cleared through a natural forest It would be well in every respect if a strip on tno side or the farm most exposed to the wiuds could be treated in the same manner. Tho trees would be of no use as wind-breaks and would grect- add to the beautv of the premises. If, however, there are reasons againstoccupyingso much land, a simpler plan may be adopted. Suckers ofLombardy poplars can be obtained in almost " any "neighbor- hood, and these, even stuck into the green sward and left to take care of themselves, Avill make good trees In a dozen years. Two boys, with a meas uring line, a grubbing hoo and a pointed stick, can plant a row half a mile in length in a few hours. The jiative larch would be a bettor tree to plant than the poplar, and the Euro pean larch -would be preferable to ei- tnex, out we are talking of beautify & place without money, and of hav ing the work done by boys. Some nut trees, of course, should be planted. These aie valuable for shade, for beauty, and, more than all, for their fruit. Some of these trees, like- the black walnut,, may be trans planted, when, they are small, but the surer way to get hickories is to plant I the nuts m the places where you wish the trees to grow. It would be an exceeding' good plan to have some chestnut trees, but as these cost money, their planting can be de laved a few years, unless you have an uncle. n the east who can send you al oox-oi iresu nuts paeKeti in sand, jCroro which you can raise jour trees. These nut trees may be planted in pices wherathe ground is of very lit tle value.; by, the side of ravines or where the laud is so "broken that it is not plowed. They may .even be plac ed in the pasture, where the cattle, which will not eat the nuts, can en joy the shade. If there are old trees about the farm that have seen their best daya,- their appearance may be improved bj Slanting wild grape vines and: wood ines side of them, and training them about their trunks and branches. In Truth, these native, hardy vines, easi- Jy .transplanted and easily propagated ns they are, may be put out: to good effect in many places. A" rough, cheaply made out building, becomes ateautiful when covered by graceful TtliitijWQpcIbhia grows, we hardly ncs. feand attaches itself to pla- know howjis can hardly support oes where nuJ wonderful way of iUelf, and has xjU in covering up making itself usef bejn the-jhape- 4efo'ty..wlifitherikco The wild! of a house, tree or feu honeysuckle, of which we have sever al varieties, compares In beauty with any or our foreign vines and shrubs, and deserves a place where it can be seen tmd admired. The door yard and lawn, Jf there is one, require more care and study in 1 order to have them fitted up with taste, in tills it is wen to consul i me girls, and, if possible, to study the plans that are given in newspapers or in works on landscape gardening. We have said the present is the. fitting time. to set about this work. Perhaps we should qualify this by saying this is the time to maKe the plans, pre pare the ground and to select the trees and vines. Later In the season some of them may be dug up, brought to the farm and heeled-iu, so that thev may be ready to be plan(edut earfy in the season, before spring work on the farm commences, Prai- 'ric Farmer. A Pica for Raral Sports. There was a time when the farmers of the great Northwest were boys among the hills of Now England and in tho valleys of the Hudson and Delaware, that there were sports and pastimes appropriate in their nature and adapted the needs of people liv ing in the country. Who, among us grey bearded farmers, has hot plea sant recollections of the old fashioned paring bee and the husking party? What sober matron among us does not recall the pleasures of the quilt ing prrty and the bee for making ap ple butter? In those very old fash ioned, but after all very good old days, there was pleasure ns well as toil to the dwellers on the farm. If there was hard work In raising the little crop of corn, there was rare sport in stripping the husks from the shining, Colllftll enrB. If tl"ro woro nraary fingers in picking the cart loads of needling apples, there was promised joy when they should be ground in a cider mill or quartered and strung up at an apple bee. " Even in the later times, when these prairies marked the frontier of west ern civilization, there were more sports and amusements among the then pioneers than among those who now cultivate our Improved farms. Then every man and boy had his rifle and knew how to' use it. Game was abundant, and had no rights that farmers were bound to respect. Pianos were never heard on the prai ries, and the sewing machine had not been invented ; but every woman and girl had her side-saddle, and counted it not coarse and vulgar t- ride on horse-back. When the frost ripened the wild grapes and caused the nuts to fall, the boysf and girls formed parties for gathering them. If a new settler arrived the men turned out and put him up a cabin ; while the women brought in a feast of good things. The house might hot bo large, but the house warming was worthy of a palace. ,At the re cent Old Settler's meetings through out the West, the burden of all the speeches was the. good times they had as pioneers. Time has changed all this, and changed It not for the better. "We have put away these old oustoms, but have established nothing in the place of them. We quote Solomon to prove that there is a time to work, but nev er complete the sentence that says there Is a time to dance. False pride, wrong ideas of propriety, and, more than all, a disposition to imitate the ways of city people, have abolished all our old rural sports and have given us nothing instead. "We husk our corn as we raise it, every man fpr himself; we dry our apples as we dry our "beef, every family doing hs. work; if quilts are wanted for winter bed ding, they are made by a machine and not by a quilting party. When a new comer arrives, a couple of vil age carpenters set up a baloon frame, and he moves into it like a hermit into a cave. Even the country 'spell ing school and singing school are in stitutions of the mist: John learns orthography by writing words on a slate, and if Mary Jones wishes to learn music, a teacher comes from somo large town and gives her pri- vaie lessons. We have well nigh forgotten the meaning of having a good time. Farmers' boys know us little of the game "I spy," as of the Olympic games. The wives and daughters of larmers, who keep no carriage, prefer to stay at home to riding on horse back or in a wagon. In growing rich and refined we have grown unsocial, if not absolutely selfish. The few sports we have in the country are those imported from the citv. and are at best, miserable apologies for the diversions that were once so common in the farm houe and the fields. , All this is wrong; diversions, sport and social amusements are more needed by farmer tban by any class of people, inasmuch as their labor is harder and their confinement is closer at home. These-sports slvould be of the-cmintiy and be associated- with its belongings. They should bo of a nature that would not only make the country pleasant to those whoiive in it, out attracting to those whose homes are in towns and cities. One of the principal reasons whv farmers and farmers' wives grow prematurely old, is that recreation is almost un known to them. But this lack of muuscmeiu among farmers produces another injurious eflect. It is the means of driving thousands of young men and women to ahe city "every yean. It is-theiiesireforamusements, more than the dadike for farm labor, that leads so many boys to prefer the yard stick to the pitchfork. Tie a boy to a pair of plow ban-dies and he wijl embrace the first onnortnnitv tn run away with a circus company. There is a deal of sound sense in the foregoing, especially as applicable to the young folks. Farmers fail to make farm life attractive to theyoung, uuu wnsctjueiuiy, iney make every effort to get away and into tho towns and cities, where success is but a lot tery ten thousand fail, where one suceeds. Keep the boys on the farm. While there may not be the fortunes to which would-be millionaire aspire, there Is corapetancy, healthnd1 un- aloyed pleasure. Ed. HsmyliAW.

Will, so far g this region is con-, cerned, become the Platte Valley Trade within five years. Up to this time Texas has exported cattle in a headlong way old and young, male and female," indiscriminately. But the ranges in northeastern Texas have become much depleted, and most of the cattle which have come from that State this year have come from the West of the Brazos. The demanu ior western cattle is so great that the stock busines will have to be better organized and disciplined than it has been up to this time. Texas will be compelled to keep most of her cows at home for breeders, and send out few cattle except steers. And the same thing will be done in this valley. Up to this time our stock dealers have been too anxious to turn their money every year, without waiting to set a proper system in operation, by which cattle could be produced here. But better ideas are beginning to prevail. Keith and Barton, of this place, have now more than a thousand cows, on whose offspring they will, to a gieat extent, rely to keep up their future herds. This example will be follow ed, and in a few years there will be sold every year from this valley a vast number of male four and five year old cattle, which were born here, and soon. Buying, keeping and sell-, ing cattle is not a bad business, cer tainlv. But it has not the solidity of the one we indicate. So says the ven erable stock dealer from whom we have the foregoing thoughts. Lin coln Advertiser. The country west from Plattsmouth Is being settled very rapidly.
