Why Fruit Trees are Barren.

Trees that expend all their forces in
the production of wood growth can
produce little or no fruit. Indeed il
is not possible for any tree to produce
a fruit germ, and not again in some way
disorganize it, unless the wood growth
shall cease in time for the leaves to
| leaf and fruit the following year, or
until part of the leaves shall attain
to nearly or quite their full size. That
this is SO will be apparent, when we
consider that the leaves which appear
| first in the Spring, were formedin the
previous year, perfect in all their
parts, and in the embryo state, con-
tanned each individual cell found in
them when fully grown.
The question may arise, when there
is no addition to the number of cells,
how do the leaves grow? The answer
is, that the only difference we can see
between an amhryo leaf and one fully
grown, is in the size of the leaf cells
AS growth begins in the spring, these
small cells which are formed the pre-
vious year, begin to expand. Each
individual cell thus enlarges until
all the numerous cells of which
these leaves are composed are of full
size. To further illustrate this, let us
suppose, on brick wall that each
brick at the same time was gradually
to expand to several hundred times
its present diameter, and you have
just what takes place in the growth
of ali embryo leaf. Here we have a
tree i'm possession of q full grown leaf.
This leaf did not form itself, but was
formed by the tree the preceding
year.
To produce and sustain this cellular
enlargement, there had been stored
the previous year large share of nu-
triment in the buds, and in other
parts of the tree.
This nutriment must be not only
sufficient to feed the embryo leaves,
but must also be sufficient to produce
the small, warty excerscences-thi
rootless and spongiOles. These new
leaves and spOngioles are a trees la
boratOry. And those leaves and
spongioles first grown were made,
with the exception f moisture wholly
out of the material that was stored by
the tree during the growth of the
priyious year. When these vegetable
stores are in sufficient supply to do
this, and nourish the fruit germs also,
then We shall hear little about imper-
feet fertilization. On the other hand,
had the food been consumed the pre-
vious year, by ripening an over crop
of fruit, or by making a very succu-.
lent growth, then the tree would not
store sufficient amount of plant food
to preform its three-fold office in the
production of leaves and roots with
their spongioles and and fruit.
In this condition part of the leaf,
and a larger part of the fruit buds,
yield up their nourishment, which
goes to the production of root and leaf
growth. The tree, therefore, is bar
rem of fruit for the Summer, its whole
growth being required to recuperate
its own vigor. Such trees often bloom
freely, and then cast their blossoms.
When this occurs uniform persons at
tribute it to want of fertilization, or
supposed that the rain must have
washed away the pollen.-Dr. Bel,

Sprouting Honey Locust Seed.

J.W. PEARMAN, of Davenport, Ia,
has replied to Mr.. Dinniny's enquiry
IN regard to honey locust seed, more In
detail than we did, and which we
take pleasure In publishing. 1t is as
follows:
DAyESPoRr, Iowa, March. Is, 1870.
y. M Dinniny. EsQ., Tecumseh, Neb:
DEAR SIR:-I see you ask through the i'd
yersiser the proper method OF preparing Hon.
ey Locust seed before planting. Col Furnas
no objections will give my views or plans
from practice.
Have your seed ell cleaned out and kept dry
until your ground Is perfectly warm-whfch
would be April 18th or May lst-then put
your seed in a light vessel hn the vessel
with hot boiling toGter; cover the vessel or tub
with an old blanket for tweBty-four or thir-
ty-six hours and at that time take the seed
out, run through a seive course enough to let
Che dry seed through. All seed that pass
again, and hot water used rs before. The seed
already for planting are swollen nearly three
times their natural size and should be plan-
ted out immedistely, covered about two
erly cultivated, will make a growth from
two to three feet the first year.
grow honey locust for hedges, and shall
plant out all can get at Nebraska City the
coming spring. Should you have more seed
than you want. will buy IL OF you. 1 shall
move my Nursery to that place this spring,
and should you have occasion to visit that
place, please enquire for me. shall be glad
to make your acquaintance; and hereafter
II you have any. or can get me some Honey
Locust seed, VIII pay you well for IL.
ss- Yours very respectfully.

Many will remember the case of
Martin Green, of Benton Harbor,
Mich, who last spring, had 800 of his
peach trees girdled i'm night by un-
known scOundrels; and how the citi-
zens turned out in mass and dressed
the trees with salves and rags, and
how the trees bore marvellous crop
Of peaches. Soon after their burden
had been gathered, they were girdled
again, and Mr.. Green in despair,
thought he must have some enemy
in the neighborhood, and sold his
farm and moved away. Mr.. Hunter,
a Chicagoan, bought it, and, a few
days ago, the orchard was again out
ragged. The people are teraibly ex-
cited over it, and are making extraor-
dinary efforts to detect the despoilers.

IA @. J.n correspondent of the
Gazette. gives the following recipe for
grating wax:
-Four parts of rosin, three parts of
beeswax. and three of lard, melted to-
gether, make a good wax. It takes
much less wax, and is much handler
to work with, and will make better
job to coat rags with wax. This can be
done by tearing the rags iato strips
irom to inches wide, and dropping
them into the mixture while cooking.
lt should be permitted to get cool
enough before the rags are taken out,
SO that sufficient will stick to them to
glaze nicely.

NEW HARRows.-We examined q
new harrow made by Mr.. JOHN WOR-
THING, which we are inclined to think
more fayorably of than anything we
have before seen in that line. 1t is all
iron, the frame made in zig-zag shape,
which throws the teeth in proper
shape. 1t is called the ''zig-zag har-
row." One can be seen at Worthing's s
Commission House in Main street.
Another new harrow made by
FRANZ HELMER, a double revolving
machine, is admired by many and
said to possess desirable features. Can
be seen at his shop on Main street.

Dog LAW.

70 We call the attention Of alfinterest-
ed I'm this State TO the inadequacy OF
the existing dog law. II a dog Kills
your sheep, you must prove that the
owner knew the dog to be a sheep
killing car, before you can obtain
damage. AS the law now is, It is
worth nothing. Let the members OF
ths next Legislature be posted and In
structed to have the law so shaped as
70 &6ord protection. We like good
dpg as well IS any one, but these
worthless, rowing, sheep-kiiling
whelps we want to zee exterminated.

Stock Farming.

Gen. Capron, Commissioner of Ag-
riculture, in his forthcoming report,
says:
1.-The tendency of present prices OF
farm products indicates the necessity
of increased attention to the propaga-
ton, growing and fattening of farm
animals. and to the production of
meats, poultry, butter, cheese, milk,
and various other animal products,
while the prevalence of special crop
ping, upon depicting and exhaust
I've system, enfOrces urgently the ap-
peal for mixed husbandry based up
on stock growing"
Nebraska advertiser., 1870-03-31

J. Whine, Of Massachusetts, writes
as follows Gil the value of sheep:-
When went int sheep feeding it was
10, the purpose of improving my land,
which at that time would hardly grow
a good crop of beans. My success has
been beyond anticipation. 1 wanted
to get two spears of grass where
then had but one. / have certainly
got three, and my neighbors say four.
From meadows which / formerly cut
one-half ton to the acre, L now get
two. Then / could not raise rye. Last
year got from 16 acres 400 bushels
and straw enough. if had sold 1t, to
have amounted to $500

TEcUMsEH, March 10, Is

TEcUMsEH, March 10, 1870.
Col. Il. W. Fisrnas, Ed. Advertiser:
SIR AT no time In our history, as
. country, has the prospects for pros
porous and q brilliant future been
more fiattering than those at present
are to the farmers, although the low
price of grain last fall was not with
out Its effects In retarding improve
ments generally; yet, extensive prep
erations are being made for the spring
campaign, and the acres that will be
sown and planted this year will more
than double that of last season.
But the most permanent improve
ments will be made in planting fruit
trees, which are now trenched in the
ground and ready for spring planting.
The most Of this stock was purchased
from an agent of an Ohio Nursery,
and delivered at Brownville last Oc-
tober and thus, in many cases they
were hauled in the open air and sun
for fifty miles, then "heeled" in the
ground for protection until the proper
season arrives for planting.
do not like the above system very
well. 1 would prefer to buy stock of
home dealers, as far as possible, trees
aclimated here, and going direct to
the nursery where they are grown /;
take them fresh from the ground and
replant as soon as possible, 30 that
none would need be out of the ground
more than two or three days, instead
Of as many weeks. i think by this
method that but few trees would die,
and those that live would be more
healthy, grow faster, come to maturi-
ty earlier, and fruit sooner.
II were to buy trees in the fall,
would plant in the orchard immedi-
ately; and know of no great diff
ference between fall and spring, any
more than the fall season is very
short, and many might plant out Of
season then, which would be as inju-
rOus to the tree as late planting in
In the spring.
Forest trees are receiving much at
tention and now to find q farm with
out grove planted, ''is the exception
and not the rule" I think the area
of young timber now growing, and
what will be planted this year, will
greatly exceed that of natural growth.
So In few years we may find some
beautiful parks and artificial forests
on the once nearly treeless prairies of
Nebraska. The principal timber Is
the cottonwood. The soft maple is
also largely cultivated, as well as the
Walnut.
Hedging Is also favorably remem-
bered, and hundreds of miles will be
set out this season. The Usage Orange
ia the only kind that Is used much,
and we can boast of some very fine
hedges that are now sufficient to turn
stock. Our friend, Mr.. Ellsworth.
has about twenty-five miles that is
two and three years old.
Yours,
