AGRICULTURAL
Earlx Pastnres.

~ rNE HlHa
II there is one thing more likely to
give the farmer a feeling Of satisfaction
with himself and the world generally, it
is to have good pasture early in the
spring to turn his cattle upon. He needs
it worse just then, and it is of more &C.
tual value at that time than at any other.
Any man who has a good timothy or
blue grass pastdfe can manage to have
early grazing if he will take the pains
to do SO, and the only secret about it is
that he must let it go into winter with
a good covering of this falls growth.
Pastures that are eaten into the
ground this fall will start very slow
next spring, while those we'll protected
by a good growth will start into growth
almost as o as the frost is out of
the ground, and will give a good bite Of
grass from the very first. The writer
noticed this especially last spring in
passing through several counties of
Iowa, and everywhere found the same
conditions brought similar results.
One illustration will serve as a descrip-
ton of all. Near Traer (the home Of
Hon. James Wilson, who as Iowa's
farmer-congressman did more effective
work for the farmer than any othor one
man in that body ever dld) were two
pastures only separated by a barb wire
fence. In n the cattle were gnawing
into the ground to meet the shoots of
blue grass that were struggling up from
tho exhausted roots, while in
the other the cattle, with distended
sides, were enjoying a good pasture.
Now why this difference? Only this.
The hrst of these pastures was eaten
closely into the ground last fall and had
not the vitality to make the quick start
that 1T should. while the other had been
left to go into the winter with fully six
inches of good grass to cover the
ground. Much of this last years grass
had remained green all winter and a
eaten with the young growth. There
was no perceptible difference between
the soil or situation of the two and
about the same number of cattle were
on each, but one had-purposely or &C.
DISQUALIFICATION allowed to go into
winter we'll rested and covered while
the other was robbed. That was the
cas- of the difference.
1t takes a little forethought to get
the best out of any business, and farm
ing is no exception to the rule, while in
no part of farm work will better results
from good management be seen thar in
rightly managing the pastures.
Now is the time of year to look into
this matter. Set apart some field for
carly pasture and let it go into winter
with q good growth for spring encour-
agement. If pasture is a little short
supplement- with some corn cut green
and thrown out daily to the stock
rather than rob yourself of a good early
pasture next spring. 1t will pay any
man roundly to attend to this.

Potato Truths.

Just now is a good time to point a
moral regarding potato culture. These
columns have often proclaimed the fact
that the old fashioned plan of planting
potatoes shallow and her billing them
up would not produce the best and Of
ten no good results. Such a plan may
be a good one away down east or where
the ground is not we'll underdrained,
naturally or otherwise, but in our great
west, where nature has thoroughly UNI
1crdrained the soil, and where the
suns rays come down with the fervid
heat that ripens our monster corn crops,
W. must adopt some other plan If we
would make a uniform success in grow
ing a crop which when rightly managed
is so profitable.
The writer is moved to these com
ments by noticing the condition of the
present crop during n extensive tour
through Nebraska.
No one needs to be told that potatoes
are going to be scarce and high priced.
There is an excellent crop generally in
northwest Iowa, southwest Minnesota,
southeast South Dakota and northeast
Nebraska, a region of country where
crops of all kinds seem to
always be a Success, but nowhere
else Ices there seem to be a
reasonable crop, yet almost every
where n can find an occasional field
or patch hat will give a fair yield.
Careful examination and inquiry re-
veal the fact that in every instance
where n of these fields is found it is
where the old fashioned plan was aban-
doned and a more rational method
adopted. In a trip of several hundred
miles whero hundreds Of potato fields
were noticed there was not one where
high billing re- shallow planting was
the rule that gave q good crop.
Potatoes must be planted deep and
given such frequent level culture that
the surface of the ground will be fine
and mellow for at least two inches deep.
With this plan a crop of potatoes can be
grown in a soil SO dry that corn will
blight and utterly fail. They are a
profitable crop and as nearly as any alb
,olute1y sure crop, but must be given a
chance to grow in a natural manne
This is the stipulation Dame Nature
makes regarding this or any other crop,
but is a rule man is constantly trying to
set aside with almost every crop that is
crown

Fruit in the Northwest.

The other day the writer visited the
orchard of Mr.. J. Y. Kennedy at Ser.
geant Bluffs, Ia, and took notes Of the
lessons learned from twenty-eight
years efforts at fruit raising. Mr.. Ken.
nedy will have good crop OF apples
and plums and has already harvested q
large crop of cherries, currants and
raspberries. Twenty years ago he com
menced planting apple trees and,
though his success has not been as
great as might be wished, he has in
many ways succeeded, and could he be.
gin over again with the experience he
now has to draw from is confident he
would succeed much better. The So
we're winters IN recent years played sad
havoc with his trees, leaving none ex.
cept the most hardy, and that is one
point gained. There are a few kinds of
hardy apples and planting any but these
is throwing away money and effort.
Another point is that apple trees do not
do as we'll on light sandy soil as on a
heavier or clayey one. Mr.. Kennedy's
original orchard of six or eie hit acres
was mostly planted on a sandy friable
soil, but some of it ran over
into what is known on the
Missouri bottoms as .'gumbo soil," that
is, a rich black soil devoid Of sand and
as waxy and sticky as shoemakar's wax
almost, and as far as drainage and
working characteristics 60 is a most
tenacious clay. Today the trees on the
sandy loan are all gone while those
on the "gumbo" are still there, though
slightly disfigured," and are bearing a
fair crop OF fruit. This confirms us in
the idea long entertained that a clay
soil is the one for apples. In south
eastern Iowa whore apple trees grow as
thriftily as do hickory saplings they
are in a clay subsoil over what is known
as hardpan, and the same may be
noticed in all parts of the Countrywide
thrifty alive and bearing orchards are
on clay and not on sand or sandy loan.
Small fruit Mr.. Kennedy has had un-
qualified success with, demonstrating
that cherries. plnms, grapes, raspber.
ries and currents will grow, thrive and
bear here in the northwest with the
best and will bring profit to the man
who raises them.
VIZ always feel like taking off our hat
to n of these grand pioneers who came
into the then unknown prairies and
with only common sense and indomit-
able courage has compelled success and
shown later corners the true path.

The St. Johns herald., 1890-05-15

Hon. Henry Clay Gooding. re- gently appointed Chief Justice of our Supreme Court arrived from the States yesterday and is at the Will Hams House. Chief Justice Wright met him at a point north of Pres colt and accompanied him to town. He was met at the depot by Mir. $. A. Hawks, U. s. land agent and others. The oath of office will be administered to him as soon as his commission shall have arrived. He is said to be pleasant gentleman of about fifty, a native of Evans vilIe, Indiana. The Courier, in be- half of the people of Arizona, wei comes him and hopes that justice instead of anything or anybody else will guide him in the nnn-political office he is destined to fill. He will succeed a man who has done his duty regardless of persons or poli- tics.-Prescott Courier
 The HERALD heartily concurs in the above, and expresses the wishes of the law abiding people of Apache county in saying, that it hopes Judge Gooding will preside over our courts with the same fairness, with the same impartiality and with the same fearlessness as did his i'm mediate predecessor. Let him do this and he will bear nothing but words of praise from the people of this county.
