of which were named. The Otoe Red
Streak, Nebraskian, and Early Mar
garet, were among the nmber. The
largest, and finest looking Seeding
apple we have seen, was presented at
our County Fair, by Mr.. Edward Ly-
anna, whose farm is about seven miles
Southwest from Brownyille. 1t
measured twelve inches in circum-
frence; flesh yellow with fine flavor /;
skin thin and tender; blush color; RI
pens about the middle of September.
We attempted to exhibit it at the
State Fair, but it had entirely decay
ed before that time. We exhibited a
a portion of it to Judge Mason, of Ne
braska City, and Maj. Pearman, of
Davenport, Iowa. 1t was pronounce
ed No. !. in all respects, by both gen.
tlemen. Owing to some little circum-
stances connected with the origin of
the apple, Lyanna honored US by call
ing it the Furnas apple. We appreci-
ate the compliment, and make our
best bow to Mr.. L., but really, and
candidly, we are in favor of naming
our fruits after localities, rather than
men. The apple has not been named
by the State or County societies, and
we suggest that it be called the Ne
maha Blush.
We are preparing detailed, accurate
and scientific descriptions of all Ne
braska Seeding fruits, for publication
and filing with the State Horticultur-
al Society, and will be pleased to have
all who have new fruits, furnish us
with descriptions. We want all the
characteristics of both, tree and fruits.
Be particular in all the points.

The agricultural and mechanical
Fairs held this season in Nebraska,
have been, county Fairs, in Richard
son, at Salem Pawnee, at Pawnee
City; johnson, at Tecumseh, and
Nemaha, at Brownville, and the State
Fair at Nebraska City. We were able
to attend only the two last named.
We understand that the Fairs in Rich
ardson, Pawnee and Johnson counties
were successes, in all respects. In
Pawnee and johnson, the Fairs this
fall were the first held in the counties,
but gave entire satisfaction. The ed
itor in chief of this paper has given
the readers of the ADVERTISER, a de-
tailed account Of both, the Nemaha
county, and State Fairs, and we will
not now attempt to repeat what he has
said.
These agricultural and mechanical
Fairs-annual gatherings of thepcOpJc
are grand institutions and if there
wasnota premium awarded by acom-
mittee, or a dollar paid therefor, by
the society, the good accomplished is
beyond computation. In f~act-speak-
ing of premiums-we would like to see
these Fairs held on the principle of
''seeing and being SEEN" Bring your
stock, products, implements and wares
together for a grand exhibition let
exhibitors, inventors, owners and
friends explain, test and expatiate, to
hearts content. Then let public
opinion, really, the greatest awarder-
and even LaaO nldker-known, make
the awards. Let the people come to
see and getacquainted with each other
to compare notes /; to be instructed, and
instruct; a grand autumnal picnic.
The true and grand objects of these
comingstogether would be accomplish
ed in this way, and the labOrious and
vexatious characteristics avoided. But

NCDIdShlauBf VIC AdhO OOCOAuO PO"
err" and run Fairs IN the "old STYLE"
which demands vast amount Ofhard
labor by a few, and often results in
anything but general satisfaction.
We have heard but few complaints,
however, this year, and are warranted
in the belief thatall real friends of the
State feel that great good has been
accomplished. We hope to know
next year, that county organizations
exist in every county in Nebraska,
and that our next State Fair will not
be a whit behind its older sisterhOod.
Let US all commence now to work to
this end.
Nebraska advertiser., 1869-10-21
Next state Fnir.

The next State Fair, as most Of our
readers are aware, is to be held at
Brownville, on the Nemaha County
Fair grounds, commencing on the
third Tuesday Of September, 1870.
We do not intend to speak at large in
regard to this matter now. But will
simply say that the eyes of the whole
State is on Nemaha county for the
next Fair; that every farmer, me-
chanic and citizen Of Nemaha are ex-
pected to do "their duty; their whole
duty, and nothing but their duty"
This being done, MemdhG wears the
6eHg She can do tive know she
WiU. Already we have heard from all
quarters, 'let us go to work, and
beat the world" AS an officer of the
Board, we promise that the Premium
List shall be without falt as TO its pro-
visions all shall be provided for.
The grounds and accommodations
thereon shall be the same; the houses
and hearts of our people shall be ditto,
and If the Grand Ruler over all, will
smile on, and prosper the labors of the
husbandmen, we will show such a
display Of agricultural products, and
gathering of the people, as will
RstOnish the most sanguine.
Nebraska advertiser., 1869-10-21

Will prove of great benefit to Ne
braska. The display of Apples, April
cots, Pears, Plums, Peaches, Cherries,
Ounces, and other varieties Of small
fruits were splendid. That display
will forever silence the croakers who
have declared Nebraska not a fruit
growing state city NeUs.
Yes, the fruit displayed at our Coun-
ty and State Fairs this season, has
done as much real genuine good for
Nebraska, as all else heretofore COM
bined. The J.H. Masters, the Judge
Masons, the ]. s Mortons, the James
Greggs, the Bird Vowells, the w. S.
Horns, the Doctor and Jesse Loves,
the Joel T. Grifins, the ]. @. A.
Smiths, the A. J. Hanscoms, the Hi
ram Aldermans, and more we might
mention, and others whose names we
cannot now call to mind, who had
faith to plant trees ten, twelve and
fourteen years ago, and follow 1t up
to success, Notwithstanding the "croa-
kers," wear brighter and more endur-
ing laurels to-day, than any other man
or set of men in Nebraska. Their
footprints" are for all time. "Cast
thy bread upon the waters; for thou
shalt find it after many days"

Planting.


Since our fine fruit display this fall,
there will be a perfect mania for plan
ting fruit trees. This is all right, and
we are pleased with it. But we hope
what is done will be done well-judi-
ciousIy done. Get good stock, plant
it we'll, and take care of it. Remem-
Der 'that eternal vigilanceis the price
of fruit" Don't undertake to have
too large varieties Of anything. All
who have heretofore attempted to ex-
pertinent with endless lists of various
fruits, have at last come down to a
few leading and reliable varieties. P.
T. QUIN, who is, perhaps, the most
extensive pear culturist in the coun-
try, has reduced his list, formerly Of
fifty varieties, to eight. OF the end
less variety of grapes, for instance,
the general cultivator has use, real
Iy, but for four or five. The same may
be said of apples. We do not wish to
be understood as saying a word to dis
courage the introduction of new va
rieties. All fruit growers, however,
cannot be experimentors. In fact but
few men possess the requisite patience
for this branch Of fruit growing. Get
your trees from reliable men ; direct
from the nurseries, as far as possible,
and let "midile men," as a rule, go
to the dogs. Next week we will pub
fish a list of fruits known to be hardy
and reliable in this region, and also
give details as to the best mode of
planting and caring for trees.

a few days since: 81 was deeply in

did this first commence %,
A few of the faithful commenced in
1854, '55 and $50. and have been at 1t
ever since. They have in every in
stance been paid for their labor, This

doubts seem to be removed, and every

have done years ago.
