PLANT TREES Franklin (Neb ) Guard The pleasant winter is very favora- ble to orchards and small fruits. Tt in this respect much like that of '8, tollowing which was the re- markable fruit orop of 1878, when thousands of bushels of fruit were raised in Nebraska, and such a fine peach crop in the middle countries as is usual after mild winters The spring was very favorable to plant- ing. Orchards and vineyards started that year did remarkably well, The leisure days of winter should bo im- proved by planning for the busy days of spring and summer. The high price of corn emphasizes the import- anco of having large pastures for hogs. Those who planted hodges years ago find at the age of five"to six ye osage hedge can readily be mado t plashing, to turn pigs as well as cattle, and that by sowing rye and clover, and planting artichokes in suitable lots, one-half the corn usually fed can be saved. The expense and difficulty of growing osage hedge has been greatly over-estimated. Acres of forest treos should be planted erch year by every farmer for protection and fuel. ve acres judiciously planted and cared for will, in ten years, supply all the fuel needed. Unless plans are laid and these im- provements determined upon, farmers arcapt, in the hurry of spring, to overlook such work until too late for the best results. Karly planting is always more successful than late. The Care of Horses. Dunlap (I ) t eporter. Horses should be provided with warm stambling. No other farm an- imal is 8o sens.tive to cold. The coat of the hog is no warmer than the horse's, but it has a greater compara- tive amount of fat and its organs are more closely aggregated; while the kine are provided with a much thicker hide and heavier coat than the horses. Much of the blindness of horses is due to exposure to excessive cold. In the eastern states much bet- ter stabling is provided than in the west, and in this connection it is a sig- nificant fact that the proportion of blind horses is considerably less in the east than in the west. Blooded Stock in Nance County. (Genoa Leader. N. Reynolds, who has been east in the states of Tllinois and Indin returncd last Saturday evening. Wh east, Mr. Reynolds purchased a ear load of fine brood mares, and one full blood stallion, of Norman stock. The brood mares, Mr. R, informs ns, are all fine grade. He proposes to sell them to Nance county, and desires to get some good, careful horseman to take a half interest with him in the stallion, with a view to improving Narce county horses. This is indoec enterprise in the right direction, and Mr. Reynolds should be justly com- mended for the active interest he takes in this direction. On last Tues- day, Mr. Reynolds purchased 1,500 acres of Nance county land, south of the Loup; will fence the whole with barb wire this spring, and stock it with five or six hundred head of young cattle Experience in Feeding Hogs. Danlap (lowa) Reporter. An Towa farmer put up thirty, one- year-old hogs for fattening, and for the first twenty daysfed them on shelled corn, of which they ate eighty-three bushels. During this period ‘hey gained 827 pounds, or upwards of ten pounds to the bushel of corn. He then fed the same hogs for fourteen days on dry corn meal, during which time they consumed forty-soven bushels and gained 535 pounds, or 11§ pounds to the bushel. The same hogs next fed 14 days on 1 meal and water mixed, consumed bushels of corn, and gained pounds, or 13} pounds of pork to the bushel. He then fod them 14 days on corn meal cooked, and after con- suming 45 bushels of the cooked meal the hogs gained 799 pounds, or very nearly 15 pounds of pork to a bushel of meal. Patronize Home Nurseries. A correspondnt of the Johuson county (Neb.) Journal wr.tes, “This 18 no fruit country. I've tried 1t, and can't get trees and vines to live, so I have just quit, disgusted.” No doubt we have, as farmers, heard the above words quoted frequently, or something similar. I believe two words will be a sufficient text to ex- plain why we have such failures. The words are ‘‘tree peddlers.” It has been a custom among farm- ers in this county to give their orders to these peddlers, and in due time receive their trees with very fow roots, and those few badly dried out. Consequently their trees and vines would not grow, and the fault was im- mediately charged to the country. Now we have plenty of men in our own county that are known to be honorable and honest, who will fur- nish us with anything in the nursery stock line that we may want, true to name and with good roots, that will grow and do well with reasonable care, Why not order through them! Experiments with Oil Cike. Pawnee City Enterprise, Tn conversation with County Com- wmissioner Scott, a fow days gathered some very interesting facts a8 to stock feeding and particularly as to feeding oil cake. Mr. 8. is proba- bly the heaviest feeder of stock of all kinds, in the county. He is now feeding for the market 450 sheep— wethers - a carload of cattle and about 250 head of hogs. In addition to these, which are being fattened, he has a number of other sheep and cat- tle and 55 head of hor Mr. Scott was the first feeder of oil cake, to any extent, in the county. He bought & car load early in the winter and has it about all used. He ig pleased withit, and is of the opinion that his stock never did better, or were fattened more cheaply than this winter His method of feeding is to make one-third the feed oil cake. To his fattening cattle he feeds two (uarts to a feed or about five or six pounds a day, and they tatten with remarkable rapidity. His horses get six cars of corn at a feed and about a pound of ol cake, and are in fine condition. He finds it | a splendid appetizer, and is altogether | woll pleased with it. He feeds 400| pounds a day to his large lot of stock. | Profitable Stock Graf on (Neb ) Gaootte That sheep-raising in Nobraska is highly profitable has been proven o often th repetition of the state-| ment seems almest ridiculous, Nev ortheless 1t is a thought that should | bo impressed more foreibly upon the minds of the farmers in this state, and anything that will turn their | thoughts to an investigation of the | [ subject is a bleasing to them. Every | producer should have a fow hoad sheep on his farm, for they are o invaluable assistance in obnoxious woeds, and turning poor land into good tillable soil, besides the yearly revenue to bo derived from which i proportion to other investments, is very large. Tho ready demand for wool keeps the price at such a figure as to make the clippings alono pay a handsome re- tarn upon the money invested, and when we add to this the increase in the flock and the increasing value of the shoep each year, the fizures pre sented show so large a profit that it is a matter of surprise that the farmers do not inyest a spare dollar in their purchase. It is true, sheep-raising | is sometimes unprofitable. They be come diseased and dio at a rapid rate But in nearly every instance such lossen are traceable to the grossest carclessness, and shameful ignorance of tho wants of tho flock, Wih proper attention given them, there is little danger of the sheep becoming diseased, and in such cases they re- turn to the owner a big per cent. on the investment. The Profita of Onions. Alma (Neb.) Herald, *John Everson, of Alma precinct, last spring purchased one pound of onion seed, paying §4.50 for the same. He sowed the sced, gave the crop careful cultivation, and gathered forty-five bushols of onions, which he sold at €2 00 per bushel, amounting to §00. Besides this he has three pecks of sots which he proposes to plant carly the coming season for early onions, which at five cents per bunch, will yield him $20.00 more. Ho will aleo sow threo pounds of onion seed the coming spring. Cultivating Tobacco. Fremont Herald, The amount of tobacco used in this county every. year for sheep dipmakes it advisable for some one acquainted with tobacco culture to undertake to. baceo raising to supply this demand. Tobaceo has been successfully raised lere almost every year since 1873, and we are convinced that ite would pay to raise it in larger quantities. Nebraska Fruit. The Alma Herald has been shown samples of grapes, cherries, raspher- ries, pgooseberrics and other fruit grown during the past scason by Har- lan county farmers, which demon- strates that the climate and soil of the scction is admirably adapted to fruit gro; The first shown were excellent epecimens of gooseberries, cherries and raspberries grown by P. W, Fen- nessey, of Albany preclnct. Mr, Fen- nessey had an abundance of small fruit grown on trees and bushes planted in the spring of 1880, not quite two years ago. Louis Cramer, near Orleans, had a fine large orchard of growing trees, and 1,600 grape vines—somu of the latter bearing a few bunches of fine flavored fruit, although it was their first season. Mr. C. has 200 moro trees ‘heeled in” to plant in the spring. Mr. J. W. Carrothers, also near Or- leans, has a fino orchard growing nice- ly and surrounded by a fine osage hedge fence, B. F. Thrasher, of Spring Creek precinet, planted a large number of apple trees last season, and all but two are growing fi of the same precinct, has a fine lot of L | fruit trees growing. Theodore Schrack, of Lewisburg precinct, is growing a nice lot of fruit trees and shrubs. Many other farmers are successfully growing fruit trees in the county, which will come into bearing next season. General Notes. Some of the Kansas farmers raise sunflowers for fuel. When ripe and thoroughly dry these weeds make ex- cellent fuel, and in localities where prairie land is plentiful and timber scarce it pays to raise sunflowers. Bare pastures and poor cattle are a sure consequence of overstocking land. The grass should gain on the animals during the growing secason. Cattle that aro obliged to eat night and day to satisfy their appetites cannot ma- ture properly. Give both the grass and the cowsa chance and do not crowd your pastures.— Dunlsp (Ia.) " | destroying | Reporter. The United States court for the western district of Michigan have de- cided that the patent on drive wells is a fraud and no more royalty can be extorted. Thero is no reason why a Butler county farmer, or a Nebraska farmer, for that matter, should pay freight and profit eruumugo on beans that are shipped here trom Vermont, But many of our people do. More pota- toes and less flax would have been thousands of dollars in our pockets this year, had we only raised them,— David City Republican, A reader of The Indiana Farmer, speaking of the vitality of Dblue grass seed, zaid that he knew of an instance in which this seed, after being buried under the embankment of a mill race for sixteen years, started to grow when a flood washed the dyke away. The money received by the dairy- men of the Elgin (11).) district for butter, cheese and milk during the past year is estimated at a total of 4,000,000, In some parts of the country sheep raisers are putting goats with their sheep to protect them from dogs. It is said that an old billy goat is afraid of no dog, and will butt the sheep- worrying propensities out of a canine at his first effort. Two or three goats to a flock of a hundred or two hun dred sheop, it is sail, insures protec- tion. Ttis also suggested that the o means of defense might be used 84 ! against wolves, It is worth trying.
