HORTICf1L TURAISOCTETy


We publish elsewhere a letter on
fruit growing in Minnesota, and some
suggestions from the Western Rural,
on tree planting as means of modify
ing the climate and making fruit-cul-
ture on the prairies success. We be-
lieve the successful growth of nearly
all varieties of fruit raised in the North
Oh these prairies is only 4 matter of
time and of the growth of timber for
protection. During the early settle
nent of Michigan and of Northern Illi-
inois, it was thought that fruit could
not be raised there, yet Michigan has
become the leading apple and peach
State of the West and fruit-culture
tlourishes in Northern Illinois. These
suggestions are by way Of preface to an
other one, viz: that we should or
ganize a Horticultural Society here
as soon as practicable. We can culti-
vate small fruits now without any doubt
Of success, and other fruits will he

HEEn WHNAT

Much of the seed wheat sown in this
county last season was inferior, but
we are glad to announce that the seed
which is now being distributed by the
Committee is very superior in quality.
From two to three thousand bushels of
first-class Fife wheat, from Rock Coun-
ty, has been purcha sed, and is now be-
ing issued. The seed from which this
wheat was grown, we understand, was
procured last Spring in the Missouri
Valley. The Commissioners, when
here last week, pronounced it ''hand-
picked" and did not expect to find such
seed wheat in any quantity, but when
taken to the bins and shown several
thousand bushels of plump grains al
most entirely clear of cookie, they were
surprised, and did not hesitate to say
that it was the finest lot of wheat they
had seen in Minnesota. This wheat
was grown in Rock County, and DEM
onstrates that as good wheat can be
grown in Southwestern Minnesota as
in any part of the State. Three-fourths
of Mobiles County, we judge, is as we'll
adapted to wheat as Rock County.

WORTHINGTON FLOWERS
Ladies, now is the time to begin to
think of our flower beds and gardens.
Do not let the seed time pass or we
shall surely have no harvest. Let us
have every garden in Wortllington cul-
tivated to the very highest possible state
of perfection this summer. and while
we are putting in the vegetable seeds,
let us not forget to drop in occasional
ly some flower seeds, that the beautiful
as we'll as useful may be cultivated.
Let each home be made so beautiful and
attractive in this way, that our town
will be the admiration of all who
come here. Make the subject of flower
gardening and the best modes of reach
ing the most satisfactory results a
theme Of conversation whenever and
wherever we meet. Let us go to work
IN earnest to see what can be done in
one summer, and after the summer is
over, let us come together at our Agri-
cultural Fair this fall to compare flowers
as well us vegetables. Let us endeav-
or to do something with our vines
climbing roses, honeysuclzles, wood
blle, morning glories, cyprus, medaril
vines, sweet peas, Towering beans, & c.
to see what can he done toward shad-
ing our windows and arching our door
ways, and making beautiful designs in
front of our houses. If we cannot af.
ford trellis or vine frame, let us put
our wits to work TO design something
Of poles and hoops and other things
that the fancy and memory of each one
will suggest the moment she reads this.
Don't you remember what pretty things
we used to make of vines in our East
ern homes ? What is to hinder us
from doing the same thing here p
Nothing. Everything grows as luxu-
riously here as there Before we put
our houses where they are the wild roses
and prairie flowers We're as abundant in
our yards as they now are away from
town. DO not allow civilization to
drive away the flowers. Nicely prepare
some beds and till them with verbenas,
pansies, piliks, phloX, marigolds, for
get-mc-ncts, everlasting tlowrers, &C.,
the latter Of which will furnish us with
beautiful boquets for all winter, or as
many winters as we will take care of
them.
l wish our girls would go to workz
too. Don't be afraid of your complex
ions, girls. You will gain far more
than you will lose. Besides, how nice
it will be to furnish papa and the boys
with button-hole boquets every morn
ing all summer. Then, one of these
days, if some nice man should ask you
question that could be answered by a
bouuet of roSe-buds, how nice it would
| he to have the rose-Duds ready.

The Dramatic Entertainment, given
on Wednesday evening at Miller's Hall
for the benefit of the &. Il. r., was
probably the most successful entertain
ment OF the kind which has been given
in Worthington. We have not space
to speak of all the parts individually,
but it seems due to Mrs. 7. G.. Bell, as
''Fanclon,' and Mrs. O. BigeloW, as
$'Mother Fadet,' to make special me1l-
ton of their parts. which the popular
verdict has pronounced rs very well
sustained. All the parts were well car
ried and gave general satisfaction.

SPECIAL RATEX.

There is an impression upon the
minds of some that the railroad is not
carrying seed and trees at special rates.
The circular of the company, issued
March 16, says that all ''seed wheat,
and other seed grains, flax seed, and
garden seeds, and seed potatoes, in any
quantities, also fruit and forest trees,
shrubbery and cuttings, in less than
Car loads" will be carried at half tariff
rates. These rates terminate on the
4th day of May.

Up to last evening there were fifty

but with friends.

reference to settlement will number

acre. Potatoes grew so large that one
will almost make meal for family.
They crowd each other out of the hills,
and are as fat, as big, as white, and al
most as lively as so many pigs crowd
ing and pushing each other in the nest.
That we had partial failure of crop
last year is true, but we have not taken
the opinion of a single farmer whose
opinion is of any value in the commu-
nifty who does not have almost unques-
tioning faith in the superior fertility of
our soil, and who does not say that
from the time we get one good crop, we
shall begin to advance rapidly, and
shall soon have here one of the garden
spots of the West. But, says this wri-
ter, in conclusion, the whole Colony is
a farce" Now, if to expend about
$5o, 900, as the Colony Company have
done, in locating several thousand set
tiers on government lands, and in help
ing the Colonists to build up the most
thriving town in Southwestern Mime
sofa, is Il ''farce," then the National
Colony is Il ''farce.' If it is Il farce to
build a 900 mill, a So, 500 church, a
81 600 public hall, and a $4,000 to $14,-
O0O hotel to organize good schools and
seminary of learning to keep th7
liquor traffic out of Mobiles County, and
to form in two years time what is rec
ognized as the most thriving and prom
lslng frontier community in the State,
if not i'll the West-if to do all this is
a "farce", then the National Colony is
farce"
Now, word, in conclusion, to per-
sons abroad who contemplate coming
here. We offer you rich soil, healthful
climate. and community above the av-
erage in intelligence and character. We
offer you land for entering it, or at
minimum figures if you wish to buy.
But we cannot secure you against all
the ills OF life and give you a little Par
adise where you can sit down and en-
joy yourself without effort. We have
drwbacks and hardships here as else
where; our soil requires u year or two
tosubdue it fully ; the poor man will
j find that he must work hard here as
elsewhere at first; if he comes here
with little and eats that up in II few
months he must not expect that the
whole prairie will produce him har-
vest which he has only to gather. The
prairie is tenfold more easily conquer
ed than the woods of Michigan and
Indiana, and to the poor man who has
! average pluck and industry, there is no
more inviting field than the pr;,iries of
i Southwestern Minnesota.
