our lands We're fresh and new, stand in evil
dence against the system we have pursued.
This robbing of the soil is serious question
hay more, it is a crime, and thatsystem of
farming which does not tend to keep up the
fertility of the soil to its original standard of
fertility is one unbecoming the age in which
we live. Let us seriously consider the ques-
ton of what system we should adopt in or
der that we may not willfully or blinuly rob
those who are to come after us, of their Just
and rightful Inheritance. Should we not cul-
tivate a less area of land, do it better, keep
more stock, especially more sheep, adopt
proper rotation of crops, and, it need be,
adopt in all its thoroughness and complete
ness, the plan Of the old-time summer fall
lowing farmers, who, working in the interest
OF science anG according to its laws, ''builded
better than they thought?n Let us have the
views of practical wheat growers in the Old
est settled wheat producing localities in the
west on the subject. Let this subject be dis
cussed in the grange, as well as many others
of equal Importance. What grange will be
the first to give to the readers of the Rural
World their views in regard to the best
methods of wheat culture ?-Col7uaa,'s Rural

NATIVE RASpBERRIES.

A. S. Fuller writes to the Horticultmist his
descriptions and opinions of several native
varieties. Wenotice that he puts down Clarke
among foreign varieties, but is he certain
that it is any more foreign than Herstine's
Seeding? lie says:
The wild red raspberry or Rufus st,igosus,
furnishes us the best fruit, both in color and
quality. 1t is a very widely-distributed spe-
cies, but more plentiful in the extreme north
ern states than in the middle or southern.
Wild varieties are numerous in fact, it is
not difficult to find very distinct sorts in any
locality where this plant abounds.
Quite number of these natural or wild
varieties have found their way into cultiva-
ton, but many persons object to cultivating
any of them on account of their tendency TO
produce a great number of suckers from the
roots or subterranean stems. This should
consider q great fault if it were not easily
remedied, for once or twice cutting them oil
with hoe or cnltivator, during the summer,
will prevent any injury to the stock plant,
and a man who does not 60 through and
cultivate his raspberry plantation this num-
Der of times in the season, deserves to fail.
Among the best known varieties of this
species are the following
Kirland-This is one of the Oldest. but is
still one of the very best. The berries are
only of medium size, slightly conlcal, bright
light red or scarlet, quite firm IN texture
and ripening very early. This is an excel
lent market variety Oh account OF earliness
color and flrmness.

AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY Ar THE
CENTENNIAL,

The Centennial Commission is making
thorough provision for the reception and dis
play of agricultural Machinery and imple-
ments. %
a section of the agricultural hall, an inn
posing structure covering ten acres, will be
setaside for the exhibition of farm appliances
and it is anticipated that this feature will be
second to none in the agricultural depart
ment of the International Exhibition.
1t will be evident to the manufacturers of
agricultural machinery that as this, our ma
tional exhibition, is also open to the compe-
tition Of the whole world, which has been
invited to participate, our past progress and
present position will be closely scrutinized,
and we shall be judged by the general aver
age Therefore, the admission of any OBJ
ject will be granted only when it possesses a
character of unquestionable worth, and in
the case OF machinery, under the rulings Of
the commission, the elements Of merit are
held to include considerations relating to
9 originality, invention, utility quality, Skill
workmanship, fitness for purpose intended,
adaptation to public wants, economy and
cost.
Within the agricultural hall will be steam
power, and all necessary appliances for driv
ing all such machinery as cotton gins, sugar
presses, plantation mills, threshers, tanning
mills, etc.
1t is contemplated to test in the field, plows
for animal and steam power, reapers, now
ers. tedders, and hay rakes.
Manufacturers, designing to compete in
the field will be required to use the same
machines as they offer on eNhibition.-Ans.

AGRICULTURAL PAPERS.

No good farmer, much less true Patron
can now afford to do without at least one
good agricultural paper, published in his
own state. The old habit among some most
excellent, but much mistaken men, of ridi-
culing what was called 'book farming," is
fast dying out. This denotes healthy pro-
gress, and is one fayorably sign Of the times
Farmers are now beginning to realize that
they as class need education and informa-
ton in regard to their peculiar pursuit, as
we'll as the other classes, and really can no
longer afford to do without it. The aglicul-
tural paper is to the farmer what the COM
mercial paper is to the merchant, the litera-
ry paper to the student, or the medical Jour
nal is to the doctor, ETC. 1t is our medium
for interchange of experiments and expert
ences with our various productions, enabling
us to mutually inform and educate each 9TH
er, and thus availing ourselves of each others
knowledge gained in the great school Of
practical experience, we are enabled to save
much valuable time and hard labor in haz-
ardous experiments that have already been
passed through by others. The time has
come to us farmers when it is absolutely
necessary that we labor with the brain, as
well as physically, and then we avail our
selves Of the experience of each other to the
greatest possible extent. In my much trav-
cling over this state, and many times par
taking Of the kind hospitalities of my brother
farmers, it has been my fortune few times
to accept these hospitalities in houses where
no agricultural papers were found, and some
times few or no books at all of any kind.
At such instances an instructive shudder
came over me at the thought OF a farmer
without books and papers in this age and
country! The man and his family were eX-
tremely kind and hospitable, and doing and
saying everything they could to make me
, feel comfortable. But how could | fee
: comfortable under such circumstances? A
man trying to be prosperous, and good
, and useful member of society without read
: ing! Perhaps raising family of children
| in the same way! It was impossible not te
feel depressing influence, and escape I'M
z pleasant reflections under such circumstan
} ces, all efforts to the contrary notWithstand
/ ing. How can we reach the minds OF mer
who do not read? | suggest that every
: grange, While under the order OF business
9 suggestions for the good of the order,
l make dilligent investigation as to whether
V all it's members are furnished with necessary
: good and wholesome reading matter fo
, themselves and families, and that if any ar
$ found without such that proper measure
be taken to supply the need.''

Master of the Missouri State Grange, and
is pointed and forcible. Feeling that our
agricultural and stock-growing interests
were suffering for want of proper represent
ations, we have been induced to commence
the publication of the Rocky MOUNTAIN
HUsBANDMAN, believing that it could do
more to develop the interests it represents
than half dozen political papers.
1t has been, and shall ever be, our endeavor
to publish a first-class paper, one whose
merits alone, will win it patronage one
that will represent fairly and impartially the
entire interests OF the industrial classes.

AG RIG 7 L T 7 RAL.,
SHALL WE SUMMER FALLOW OUR WHEAT
LANDS?
LANDS?

Experience has shown most conclusively
that in order to succeed best on the farm
there is just as much need of what we call
business foresight and sagacity, as in any
business Of commercial character There
is just as much need of taking advantage of
surrounding circumstances and using them
for ones benefit in one pursuit as in the other
The practical farmer who makes farming
success, must be a wide-awake one. lie
must not reject old methods merely because
they are old, but, being aided by better i'm
plements, he ought by right to secure more
time for thought and investigation, and for
Inquiry into the why's and wherefores of his
various farming operations.
1t is question worthy Of more considera-
ton than it has received Of late years, wheth-
er, after all, the modern plan of wheat grow
ing is as good, all things considered, as the
old-fashioned plan of summer fallowing.
Also whether the sowing of the grain imme-
diately after plowing is a good plan as that
of exposing the soil for two or three months
to the action Of the rain and dews, which
renders the fixed potash free, and allows the
finely pulveriZed soil to absorb ammonia and
other gasses. If summer falloWing is prac-
ticed, small quantity of nitric acid is pro-
duced during the thunder storms which fire.
quently occur, and is absorbed by rains, thus
affording an appreciabie quantity of this
acid, which is available as plant food, which,
acting as stimulant, it incites, in connection
with ammonia, a vigorous growth Of the
young wheat plants, assuring as it were a
bountiful harvest of clear, bright, plump
grain.
In whatever direction we have made pro-
gress in the wheat growing districts of the
west, our system of wheat growing is not IS
productive of as good results as it was twen-
ty years ago, as the general average yield
goes to show. 1t is our duty to keep up our
choice wheat lands by proper system Of
culture and rotation Of crops, to the original
standard of fertility. But Notwithstanding
the continued multiplication of improved i'm
plements, we have, by the system of culture
and constant cropping practiced by us, al
lowed a gradual diminution of the whea
producing capabilities of our soil to takt
pltce. w may YET nave W auOpC the Olu
fashioned plan of summer fallowing, keep
few sheep to roam over the fallow lands dur
ing the summer season, not only to destro,
any noXious weeds that may appear, but tt
increase the fertility of the soil by an ever
deposit of rich manure.
Another advantage of summer faHowin:
is, that it hastens the termination of tn
seeds Of weeds, which are quickly destroye'
by successive plowngs and by the harroy
gress we have made in the art of farming
but in too many cases fine houses and barn
have been erected at the expense of the soil
and lower annual average yields than whel
