have had continually to repudiate our pre-

gone off and left them, returning after the
interval of a night to find them safely in

hope it will be satisfactory to them. The
main satisfaction to us is that the task is

JEsup, Jan. 9Th 1870.

JEsuP, Jan. 9Th 1870.
Friend Tomdn Having very recently
returned from visit through portion of
Dubuque and Jones counties, have been
rejecting upon the changes that have taken
place there during the last five years, las it
has heen about that time since was there,)
the most noticeable of which is the cultiva-
ton of fruit. Six or eight years ago ap.
Piles were as rare thing in that section Of
country as they are here now. Now, du-
ring stay of about four weeks, and al
most constantly visiting among friends
and acquaintance formed during resi-
dence Of fifteen years previous to coming
to this county, we were treated to apples at
nearly every farmers house at which we
visited, of their own production, and gen
orally very fair, beautiful fruit. 1t has
been the first time since leaving the State
of New York, twenty years since, that l
have sat down evening aftei evening to
big pan of nice apples and felt that | was
at liberty to eat just all wanted, because
they were not scented with money at the
rate of $l.50 or $500 per bushel. What
luxury; and right well it was improved
tell YOU. I could mention numbers of
farmers that have, rot simply what they
want for their own use, but to sell. One
bad some two or three hundred bushels,
and made several barrels of cider. This
orchard is located upon as cold and bleak
ridge as Buchanan county can boast OF,
and has borne well for several years. l
mention these facts as proof in my own
mind that fruit can be raised in abundance
in Northern Iowa by nearly every farmer it
he will but try. l do not think it can be
raised as easily as in many portions of the
United States, but the idea that has pre-
vailed for many years, that fruit cannot be
raised on the prairies of Northern Iowa, is,
l think, a great mistake, as the facts re-
ferred to go to show, for nearly all the or
chards referred to are grown upon exposed
localities, wherein lies think, the main Sc
cret of success. 1t is no doubt true that
we must cultivate hardy varieties, but there
are plenty of such that are adapted to our
climate. l do not believe it is the severe
cold of our winters that causes so much
loss of trees, but ascribe it to an altogether
different canse, aud little attention pafd
to the suitable location of an orchard, will
in my opinion 60 further toward securing
its safety from what is commonly called
"winter killing" than any other thing that
can be DONE This is one of the most i'm
por,ant things to le attended to. 1t is
generally thought that slope to the south,
with a protection of timber on the north
and west, is about the only location on
which an orchard can be grown, while in
fact it should be right the reverse. Without
exception those grown upon northern ex.
posures, with the protection, if any, upon
the south and southwest, have thriv,d the
best and met with far the least loss Of trees.
also prefer trees grown as near home as
possible, and seeding trees grated IN the
limbs are, l think, preferable. Cultivation
is also important; an orchard should never
be seeded to grass.
Yours respectfully,
A FARMER.

some YEARS since poor but talented
gentleman of the medical profession conceiv
ed the idea that if he could produce a med
cine of universal application and extraor
binary merit, and make it known he could
only enrich himself and escape the druid
cry of Physicians life, but also benefit tn
sick in greater measure than by his prl-
waite practice. He therefore consulted will
the best Physicians be could find and th.
result was the production Of the Judson's
Mountain Herb Pills. famous and most
successful medicine. He began in a small
way to make the Mountain Herb Pills know,
by advertising them and such was the value
of his Pills, that in a few years he had not
only ammassed a fortune but had that rare
satisfaction for a rich man, of having re-
lieved the sick, and benefited his fellow
men in every part of the country, as thous-
ands of grateful testimonials could prove.
The Judson's Mountain Herb Pills have
cured Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint, Female
Irregularities, and all Billions disorders.
This little sketch serves both to adorn a
tale and point a moral. DR.. Judson's Pills
were meritcrious and the doctor himself
