I approach the penning of this ar
ticle with a full appreciation of the
responsibility "that rests upon me.
The consequences that may result ei
ther for weal or woe to many readers
at a distance who contemplate mak
ing this country their future home
and might make their final deoision
upon statements made here. To start
fairly with my feaders I will say that

this beautiful country known to the
toning minions or over crowueu anu
inhospitable regions, where the fami
ly cfrole is kept together by the sever
est economy, and by dint of the hard
est labor, from one year's end to an
other. Thousands of people in many parts
of the world are asking themselves,
how can we better our condition and
..fortunes.?, .yhere shall.we go to pro
cure treluxuri9 ana necessaries or
life with greater ease? to lay by a
competency for old age, and an inher
itance forour children? Such is the
universal inquiry all over the old
wnrlil.
The necessity tor a change of popu
lation from countries where it is in
excess to countries sparsely settled is
the same as that for the transfer of
produce or commodities from coun
tries where they are not wanted.
They are without value until they are
transferred, but become of great val
ue when removed to where they are
wanted. The excess of population in
most oarts of Europe not only causes
great suffering from want and desti
tution, but is often a heavy burthen
on the government, requiring the es
nnnriiturp of millions annually for the
relief of indigence and distress. And
yet these thousands of suffering peo
ple, when transferred to a country
like this, are at once made happy,
conteuted and prosperous, atid in
stead of being a burthen to the conn
try where they now are, they become
a source of great national wealth and
prosperity. These considerations
prove beyond all donbt that this
transfer of population from countries
Which are suffering from its great ex
cess, to countries which are suffering
for the want 01 it, is an oujecb m gie.ui.
national concern, and there is not,

the use of fertilizers, and whan it is
considered that these heavy yields are
obtained wi h imperfect cultivation,
there is no reason to doubt that such
splendid results may be obtained for
man j', many years, by more thorough
and improved moites of culture. W
know that to make a good crop of
wheat In New York, Pennsylvania or
Ohio, that the ground is first plowed
deep with two, three and sometimes
four large horses; it is tnen cross
plowed, thoroughly harrowed, plant-
eu witn a seea arm, anu mou new
rolled. If a piece of Nebraska land
was to receive such attention" as thiB
It would blush like a maiden. In her
first love. The truth is our farming
until very recently, has been of the
rudest description, with here and
there an exception, and it is worthy
of mention that these exceptions, all
good farmers, have rarely, if ever,
failed to make good cropa.
FRUITS.
The country is not, as yet, stocked
to any great extent with the different
varieties of fruit; there are,, however,
enough to give every assurance that
fruit culture in time will enter large
ly into the occupation ofour people.
Reaches are now so common In tile
river counties that nearly every fami
ly iioQ nn nhnniiance. The trees
grow without any attention whatever
and upon any variety of soil. Fifteen
years ago it was the general opinion
that apples aud pears would not do
well Here, anu very iew went "
expense of planting. The few how
ever who did are now reaping a gold
en harvest, and all are now planting
to the extent of their ability to pro
cure the trees, as no further doubt ex
icto no tn tliolrndnntation to our soil
and climate. We have eaten as large,
luscious, juicy and as highly liavored
apples aud pears here, as we ever saw
in any State. All kinds of small
fnilfc .rmw horn to nerfeetion. Graues
grow wild in an abundance, and it is
doubtful whether there Is a couutry
on the earth's surface better adapted
to grape culture than this. Gentle
men who have lived upon the Rhine
pronounce It equal to that famous re
gion, where, be it remembered, land
set in grapes is" worth two thousand
dollars per acre, and pays twenty-five
percent, upon that sura. The vine

The principal indigenious trees are
the cottonwood, ash, elm, box elder,
soft maple, and different varieties of
oak, black walnut, hackberry, cedar
and willow. Cottonwood is of re
markable growth. It grows every

Fifteen aoresof cottonwood and black
walnut planted ten feet ripatft each
way and well fended for six years,
will supply all the fuel nnd fence
posts required for any ordinary farm
for all time to com. Those who came
to Nebraska a few years ago and had
the foresight and care in this respect

As to the -soil it is all the farmer can
desire. It will grow anytning

Com. wheat, oats, rye, barley, pota
toes, buckwheat and sorghum are tne
principal productions as yet, but it is
believed that cotton, tooaccu, auu w.
sugar beet would flourish and attain
i,o hirrlipst decree of perfection. Ir-
l hdi and sweet potatoes grow to a size
and delicacy ot liavor rnreiy " -equaled.
Turnips, cabbages, beans,
peas, and all the small vegetables do
well here. The soil is all black loam,
not stickey and stiff, but friable and
easily worked. There are fields in tne
eastern counties which have been in
cultivation for the last fifteen years,
nnd which now, according to tne
statement of the owners, prouuw
thnn in dn without it. is ample appol-
ogy for making the subject one ot par
amount importance, and to bring in
to view everything bearing upou the
subject towards its perfection. Of ap
ples and peaches a number of superi
or varieties have already been pro
duced in our oung Stale, but the
supply of fine varieties of the pear is
yet inadequate, more especially of late
kee ping varieties. To supply this de
ficiency we would recommend the
trinl nf snob varieties us the Chaum-
antelle, the Colman and its subvarie
ties, Bruno, Ranee, Beramot, For

our State, in the occupation of unim

steads, enhancing tho Value of real

great source of national wealth, can
not be too highly appreciated. The

The Platte is the largest in the State. It is
formed by a junction of the riortfa and south
fotks of the Platte, nearly 300 mile west of the
Missouri, they having their sources amid the
snow-capped peaks of the Rocky Range in Col
orado. It empties its turbid Waters into the
Missouri, at or near Plattsmouth. It has a fine,
