ABOUT ORCHARDS IN IowA.-The
curse of the west is scarcity OF fruit.
This is the effect of another cause, which
is scarcity of fence. We have the tree
peddler in all his phases. We also have
the nurseries in abundance. We see
nice samples of fruit, we listen enrap-
tured to the agent and believe his gos-
pei, get enthusiastic and purchase trees.
In April they come to US twenty miles
from railroad station or nursery on hay
rigging, the roots frozen the night be-
fore, thawed out to-day in the bright sun
shine and drying wind. We take them
in hope. plant them, thinking we will
fence the orchard this fall. Autumn
rolls round, we have no fencing pre-
pared; think we will watch the cattle
away this winter. In the spring those
that survived are browsed or broken off.
l describe the experience of ten thousand
farmers in the west. But we have hopes
OF better days. The fence question is
approaching solution. 1t is being
demonstrated that iron is to be the fenc-
ing material of prairie countries. Many
years ago farmers experimental with
wire fence, and, owing to defect in con-
struction, it was condemned. Now we
are building wire fence of four strands,
No. 9 wire, that will resist anything but
| stampede OF Texas cattle, and come
nearer restraining them than any wooden
fence we can build. This wire costs
now in Chicago cents per pound, and
four pounds makes one rod Of fence. We
plant posts thirty-three feet apart. The
wire is fastened to posts with staples
made of the same size wire, costing 10
cents per pound. The staples are not
driven in far enough to prevent the wire
from slipping. We tasten stays every
six feet, the lower end of the stay reach
ing three inches below the lower wire,
which is fastened to the post twenty
inches above the ground, the next space
ten inches, the next eleven inches. the
last twelve inches, making fence more
than four feet high, and costing for ma
terial not over 36 cents per rod. The
wire is stretched by winding on two inch
pins, with square head, on which a
wrench will fit. Forty or even eighty
rods on level ground can be drawn tight
i. and loosened in hard freezing weather to
allow for contraction. 1t halfth money
: wasted by destruction Of trees, &C.. had
} been invested in fences to protect the
remaining half purchased, Iowa would
: now be rejoicing in plenty of apples. Al
, bounty to stimulate orchard planting
5 our State exempts from taxation $50 for
each acre planted, and 800 for each acre
: planted in forest trees. We must az
5 better in future. Procrastination, the
: thief, not only steals time-we nigh
e forgive that-but he steals fruit. and rob-
t our lives Of half their solace. In behal
: of thousands OF discontented, homesicl
8 wives, who are looking back east, think
f ing of the orchards bending with deli
!, cious fruit. exhort all farmers to plant al
a orchard. and your children will rise VI

What a Squirrel Can Do.

The following overture tale is told of
the squirrel by the Stockton (Cal.) In
dependent of July 21: 30. 2. F. Kal-
enbach made raid few days ago on
the squirrels which abound in the neig gh-
borhood Of French Camp and prey upon
the wheat fields, from which they are
gathering their winters supplies. lie
informs US that there is an army of the
pests constantly on the move transport
ing the wheat from the fields to their
dens. One of the most active OF the ar
my of transportation, whose jaws were
distended with plumber, was shot, and
from his mouth was taken a small hand
full of choice, plump wheat Kallenbach
had the Curiosity to count the grains. and
found they numbered 1862. and weighed
few grains over one ounce. 1t is cal
culated that an able-bodied squirrel that
will attend strictly to business and not
waste time in discussing political ques-
tons, will steal and transport to his un-
derground warehouse a pound Of wheat
per day. With his relatives he would
get away with ton, worth to-day S42.
A person, from this, can form some idea
of the damage the millions of rodents are
doing in the country, tor they are all in
dustriously at work" These Calitor-
MIA squirrels are gray like our ordinary
squirrels. and Of about the same size
but they live in the ground.-ED.

CALIFORNIA; IMPoRrs.-Dur.ng the
year beginning on Dec. /, 1873 and end
ing on Dec. /, 1874, there was shipped
East over the Central Pacific Railroad
81, ,4oo,9O4 pounds of barley. During
the same period there was shipped West
over the same road 2,5OS,616 pounds of
bacon, $3.50 pounds Of mess pork and
beet, 25O,770 pounds OF butter, and
1,54e,5l4 pounds OF lard. AS to the
shipping of barley East, this is all well
enough. for the reason that we can pro-
duce better barley, and more Oft to the
acre than our Eastern neighbors but
when we come to buying bacon, and
pork, and lard, and beef, and butter from
them-articles we can produce cheaper
than they can-the propriety of the op-
Grafton is presented in an entirely differ
ent light We can produce all of these
articles at less expense than they can be
produced at any point in the Eastern
States and yet we allow them to supply
our markets. they making profit on
