Horticultural science Is progressing.
The horticultural societies Of the differ
ent states are doing a great deal 10
clear the way for a more eomprehen-
sive view OF all horticultural truths.
Among the progressive societies Of the
West IL that OF Indiana. This society
has begun a work that promises TO
partly settle the long-eontinued con-
hict over fruit varieties as 10 their
adaptabllity 20 different localities.
Hitherto II has been a difficult task 10
make UP a fruit list that would be
valuable 20 the people % an entire
state In Illinois they tried 70 get over
the difficulty by dividing the state into
three parts and making a list for the
varieties 81 fruits best adapted 20 each
section. But In Indiana they have gone
much further They have decided 10
recommend fruit lists by counties. The
work is already under way. and In the
Indiana report for 1897 Is given seven
ty-eight pages Of reports from the
counties as 20 fruits best adapted 10
their localities These county reports
are carefully and simply arranged. A
separate part Of each report is given
70 each % the fruits. apples. pears,
peaches plums. cherries, ounces.
grapes. currants. gooseberries. black
berries. raspberries and strawberries.
In each case the question Is asked and
answered. on what kind Of soil are
these being grown In your county?
A study OF these reports will reveal
much OF interest II will probably be
found that certain varieties do well on
clay and certain other varieties on
sandy loan. and so forth. The work
will certainly have the effect OF TAX
ing away much Of the uncertainty from
fruit growing operations. Little by
little the fruit list for each county will
be revised. TIL Il will be certainly
found what varieties will do the best
In each county II may be found that
some OF the varieties Of fruit that We
have discarded will do best IN some
OF the counties where the common va
rieties will fail; In other words. that
We may have discarded valuable vafie-
ties for the simple reason that We had
not tried them In enough localities.
This new departure by the Indiana
Horticultural society will make Il pos
sible 20 begin the testing OF varieties
In all OF these counties. II will also
have the effect Of inducing other state
societies 20 take up a like work. In
addition We may expect that the plant
ing OF more fruit by amateurs will be
stimulated. simply because the knowl-
edge gained by the county reports will
make the percentage OF successes ia
frult growing greater. and the greater
the number OF successes the greater
the number that will 20 Into Il. The
Farmers Review believes that The In
diana society has taken a decided step
In advance. and expects to hear good
reports from the new departure

The question OF pastures Is one that
will always be Of interest TO the farm
er. Whether the pasture Il 10 be in the
rotation or a permanent pasture must
depend very much on general and even
local conditions. In the great West our
rainfall Is not what Il Is on the sea-
board. and therefore the question
changes considerably for this reason.
On the Jersey Islands the rainfall Is
such that the permanent pasture Is a
great success. The moisture and the
sunshine stimulate growth 10 such an
extent that the supply Of her5age Is SUI
hcient. The permanent pasture Is GER
tainly 10 be preferred In countries
where the growth OF herbage Is rapid
and continuous. But In many eoun-
titles the pasturage early fails 10 give
good account Of itself. and in such
eases soiling has 10 be depended on.
This IL illustrated In parts Of Europe
where soiling has become a permanent
feature on the farms. To illustrate:
Holland has ten million cows and four
~en million acres Of pasturage. The
Jersey Islands have seven thousand
cows and fourteen thousand acres OF
pasturage. a greater proportion Of pas
turage per COW than IL the case with
Holland.
In the United States permanent pas
lures are easily kept up where the rain
fall Is abundant and well distributed.
In the dryer portions crops are grown
that serve for pasiurage in the very
dry time In the Central West much
can be done In this line 10 tide over the
drouths without going 70 the labor OF
soiling. The Nebraska experiment sta
ton has been growing some crops for
additional pasturage. and some Of these
might be grown In many Of the states

plants used was sorghum. the Early
Amber variety. II yields well even on
