SEX. BUCHANAN AND THE BOARD OF REGIsTRArIoN
The commendable spirit of the "trooy loil gentry
who pretend to represent the late convention, was
exemplifed in the recent published proclamation OF
the board, assuming the responsibility of Packards
acts. Now, until the legislation of Congress shall
direct otherwise, the of Gen. B. is clearly de-
feasible. But the occasion of his decision against the
immediate Inauguration of the STATE government
promptly seized by the patriotic gentry, merely
to suub officer, who acts from his own sense OF
duty and not in compliance with the mandates of
party. Gen. B. need throw away no time or effort in
trying to neutraEse the acid of this sharp and eager
description of men" They we're spoiled by the AFRO

Take Care Of Your Horses.

It is a lamentabIe fact that the fewest
number of even farmers, know how to
take care of horses; or if they know
how, fail TO act as they know. A horse
well taken care of on a farm should be
"none the worse for wear" at twelve and
fifteen years of age. The treatment Of
a horse should be regular in all respects.
One important point NEST farmers are
deficient in, and that is grooming. We
say most, because we believe, while there
are many noble exceptions, most men
who are engaged in farming are negli.
gent in grooming their horses. There is
20 doubt at al but that it is just as essen
tial to thoroughly clean a horse every
day, as it is for a man to wash his face in
the morning. 1t is essential to health.
A horse wet with either rain or perspira,
ton should not be allowed to "cool of,
standing il the stable. without being
rubbed dry.

Is Nebraska Soil IngenlOus?

Yes! Soil so highly favored by Prov
idence, as to richness and fertility as
ours is, cannot fail to be inven.
tive, in a high degree. We have from
the first, maintained that much will be
gained by experimenting with our soil.
Take the Peach, for instance. So far
as our observation and experience ex-
tends-and that has been for twelve
years pcst-we have never known a
peach tree brought from the East, either
seeding or grated, that did much good.
Seedlings of our own are more reliable.
In fact in this section of the State, have
rarely failed. With perhaps a few ex-
traOrdiDary exceptions, we have seen
Seeding Nebraska peach trees, produce
as large fruit, and possessed of all essen
tial requisites, to enIiile them to be
classed as first class fruit, as we ever
saw anywhere. In our opinion this is
the important feature IN fruit growing In
Nebraska.
What is applicable to fruits here is
applicable also to grain. Corn and wheat
after a few years close cultivation, en-.
tirely changes in leading characteristics
Small fruits in our soil are entirely
changed, and that too, for the better.
We have experimental a good deal, and
with most gratifying success, and advise
our farmers and others to experiment.
Il requires time and patience to discover
however, and those who undertake this
matter must not be discouraged at fall
ures, If one discovery or success only
is obtained with an hundred failures, il
pays.

VIII Grapes Pay?

We are among those who have always
maintained the practicablity of grape
growing in this country hat it will pay
better than almost anything else. We
are not disposed to enter into an aFgu.
ment in a temperance point, but will
venture an opinion that if more wine
pure wrne-was drank, there would be
less whisky cOnsumed-less fighting,
strychnine, boiler burning, real fire mater
drank, and hence less of its consequent
ces.
There is no reason why grape wine
should cost more than apple cider any
where; but in this country many reasons
why it should cost less. Reference is
made to making il for ones own use in
this remark.
Any of our high land, even out on the
open prairie, will produce grapes abund-
antly, and of excellent quality. The
rough bluff lands adjacent to the river,
is we think, however, better than any
other. Il is higher and better protected,
and can not be used for general farming
purposes. The most successful grape
growing and wine making point in the
United States, we presume, is at Her
man, Mo. For the benefit of our read
ers we give a few reports from that
place. They are taken from Mr.. GEO.
HUssMAN's book on this subject. Mr..
H. gives the cost and product of a vine.
yard of his own, consisting of 5000 vines
on W and a half acres. His plants cost
him the first year S777.5O; clearing.
blowing and planting $3.50 or $50
acre. Putting up trelIis $4,000, or
Sl50,00 per acre. Interest on capital,
500. Total cost, 81, 377,5 so. The first
year after planting he realized from sale
of layers and cuttings, $4,000 The
second year 81, 10000. The third year
S2.500,00, and for grapes sold $500, 90.
The fourth year, for layers and cuttings,
S4, 5000 grapes sold, S469,6O. The
fifth year be realized from sale of wine,
SS,690.00; grapes sold. 5000; from
sale of layers and cutting, SIS, 10000
Total for the first five years, 500, 3O5, so.
The total cost of plants, labor &c., for the
five years was So, 627,O 90. Leaving a
clear profit for five years of Sl9,679,S0,
from two and a half acres of ground.
The varieties planted by Mr.. Hussman
were Concord, NOrton's Virginia, Her.
bemont, Clinton, Delaware and Cum
ningham.
We give, for the information of those
who may desire to. do their own figuring
as to prices, what is necessary TO plant
an acre of grapes. 700 plants set 6x1O
feet, or $50 plants 6xS feet, will plant
an acre of grapes. 45O posts and 600
pounds wire will trellis an acre. Most
of the wine grapes can be had now by
the thousand, at from eight 10 fifteen
cents each, and wire is now selling in
this place at 10 cents. The price OF
posts and labor will depend upon circum.
stances.
