" The following varieties would be a good and certain list for an orchard of five hundred apple trees, or less. New York Pippin or Ben Davis, White Winter Pearmain, Wine Sap, Wilton, Jonathan, Janette, Oskaloosa Apple, and Nonsuch, for Winter varieties. The Maiden's Blush,-(a little tender)-Dominie, and the Dutchess of Oldenburgh, for fall varieties. For summer, the Early Pennock, Red June, Sweet June, Red Astrachan, and Keswick Codlin.


" One and two year old trees are best to transplant. When trees are planted in the Spring, always put some simple muleh, such as straw or hay, for several feet around the roots. If you plant large trees cut off some top. If the tree does not bear by the middle of May, cut off some more. Never plant large trees if you can get small ones. The best location for an orchard is on the east, north-east or north location. South, or south-west, or west, should always beavoided. Trees require no manure in our soil ; the richest soil is not the best for the apple. Let trees top near the ground, not higher than one or two feet. Look out for borers all the time. The trees need a general going over each fall and Spring to clean off all worms; and a washing with soap-suds will be found very beneficial.


" Canada Fink, one of our fruit farmers, who is, perhaps, one of the best posted fruit inen in the West, gives us the following items in regard to apples : " Apples are peculiarly adapted to this country. Whenever the wind blows on an apple tree so that it stands to the north- east, it will not be long until the worms eat it up, unless it receives frequent attention. This is one of the reasons why there are frequent

HISTORY.


vacancies in many of the orchards of this country. All apple trees, whether large or small, must be diligently watched to rid them of all worms. By a little attention, apples will thrive exceedingly well in this climate."


There are many thriving young orchards in the county ; almost every farmer deeming a good orchard indispensible. It is estimated by our nurserymen that over two hundred thousand apple trees have been planted in Madison county during the past four years. The county already raises almost enough apples for home consumption. In a few years it will have largely in excess what may be needed for home use.


STRAWBERRIES.


Strawberries are indigenous to this county, and they grow in the greatest profusion in many portions of the county. This excellent fruit, when cultivated, thrives exceedingly well, and yields more bountifully here than we have ever known it to do elsewhere. Its cul- tivation requires but little attention, and when grown for marketable purposes, it is, perhaps, the most profitable of all fruits ; a small bed in a garden, say twenty feet square, is generally sufficient to supply the wants of an ordinary family.


In regard to the cultivation of the strawberry, Canada Fink gives the following advice : It is the universal recommendation to plant for a new bed in August; but this will not do in this county, unless it is a wet August, which seldom happens in this country. It is also generally recommended to confine the plants to one hill, and cut the runners. This will not do in this county, as far as my experience goes, because a vine thus treated will form a large bulb, out of which the fibres strike. The best time to plant is early in the Fall or in the Spring. The surest plan to raise strawberries is to keep them clean, and in a good season they will cover the ground.


RAILROADS. .


As early as 1853, General Curtis, the prime mover in the great Pacific Railroad enterprise, and who was honored with the title of " Father of the Great Pacific Railroad," made a speech on the subject of the Pacific Railroad, in the "Old Log Court-House" in Winterset. He after- wards, in the year 1858, delivered a speech on the railroad in the east front of the St. Nicholas Hotel, then known as the Pitzer House. His ·speech was one of the most masterly orations ever delivered on the subject of railroads in the West; he also pictured in the most vivid and eloquent manner the importance of that road. He pictured in glowing terms the magnificent perspective of a line of new States that would

HISTORY.


grow up across the continent-of a commercial stream diverting the commerce of the world from its accustomed channels-withdrawing the teas, silks, spices and the great trade of China and the Asiatic Empires across the Pacific to San Francisco, and thence across the Pacific Railroad to New York, from whence they would be distributed to Europe in half the time now required in their transit. He also spoke of how it would develop the great natural wealth of the Rocky Mountains, and seemed to grasp the importance of the great enterprise in all its bearings. The town was full of people at the time he made this speech, and the writer well remembers-for he was present at the time-with what eagerness the crowd listened to his prophetic remarks. Half doubting the success of so great an undertaking, vet they could not help being filled with visions of the wealth, the greatness and grandeur that would necessarily result from an enterprise of that kind, But eleven years have now elapsed since Col. Curtis made that pro- phetic speech, and his predictions are being rapidly fulfilled.


In 1852 or '53, Alf. D. Jones surveyed the route of the Philadelphia, Ft. Wayne & Platte River Air Line Railroad, through the State from New Boston, on the Mississippi River to Council Bluffs. The route of this road passed directly through Winterset, and depot grounds were marked out for it in the north east part of town.


To aid in the construction of this Air Line Railroad, Judge Pitzer, in compliance with the petition and request of a portion of the people of Madison county, called a special election for the purpose of deciding the question, " Will the people of Madison county subscribe one hundred thousand dollars stock in the Philadelphia, Ft. Wayne & Platte River Railroad." The election was held on the 24th day of December, 1853. and the election resulted as follows : one hundred and eighty-three votes were cast in favor of the loan, and ninety-four against it. For the payment of this sum it was provided that the county should issue bonds payable at such time as was deemed advisable by the County Judge, in not less than ten or more than twenty years from the time of their date, to bear interest not exceeding eight per cent per annum. To liquidate these bonds, the County Judge was authorized to levy such annual tax, not exeeding one per cent, nor less than two mills on the dollar, of the county valuation, as may be necessary therefor. This loan still stands in full force and effect on our statute books. A route through the state along this line must yet be built, it being on a direct air line continuation of the Pacific Railroad, from Omaha to Philadel- phia and the East, and the nearest and most natural route for the road. It will be built in time, and will be the main thoroughfare of the great Pacific Railroad.

HISTORY.


The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad passes through the north line of Madison county. It was completed through to Council Bluffs last May. This road has developed the country along the line of its route, with the most astonishing rapidity. Of the towns located along its line in, and contiguous to Madison county, we will men- tion elsewhere in this book.


The Bedford, Winterset & Des Moines Railroad is an organization which has in contemplation the building of a railroad from Des Moines via Winterset and Bedford, to St. Joseph, Missouri. The Iowa divi- sion of this company is officered as follows:


William Compton, President; L. M. McPherson, Secretary; John A. Pitzer, Treasurer, and F. W. Palmer, Theodore Cox, Eli Cox, W. W. McKnight and D. P. Kenyon, Board of Directors.


The State of Missouri has granted this road a subsidy often thousand dollars a mile from St. Joseph to the Iowa state line, provided, the road is completed to the State line by the first of December, 1869. The road will be completed so far, within the time specified. The road will also be completed as far as Bedford, in Taylor county, Iowa, by the first of January, 1870.


The citizens of Madison county have raised by taxation and subscrip- tion, about seventy-five thousand dollars to aid in the construction of this road. But the late decision of the Supreme Judge of the State de- claring taxation for railroad purposes illegal, has compelled the citizens to drop the plan of raising money for that purpose by taxation. Efforts are now being made to raise the amount required of this county, one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, by donations and subscriptions of stock. There is no doubt that the road will soon be built clear through.


TEACHERS' INSTITUTE.


The Madison County Teachers' Institute was organized at Winterset in October, 1858, by J. H. L. Scott, an eminent educational man, who resided at that time at Osceola. The organization has held its annual meetings from its commencement down to the present time; and it has been the means of accomplishing a vast amount of good for the cause of education in Madison county. The teachers of the entire county attend its meetings and all take an active part in the various exercises of the Institute. And many citizens of the county who are not teachers often take an active part in the exercises. Its meetings are always interesting and instructive and they are very largely attended. The citizens of the county take a great deal of pride in the Institute, for it is doing much to advance the cause of education in the county.

H. W. Hardy, our excellent County Superintendent, has visited all the schools during the past winter, (1868 and 1869) and reports them all in a flourishing condition. Every exertion is being made to advance and Improve the schools, and the standard of qualifications of teachers is being raised.


THE WINTERSET PUBLIC SCHOOL-HOUSE.


Winterset has a magnificent public school-house, one of the best, perhaps, in the State. It was finished in the fall of 1868. It is located on a very beautiful eminence-overlooking most of the city, and very beautiful scenery to the south and southeast-about three blocks from the Public Square. The lot on which it is located contains just two acres of ground, and is the most beautiful location in the city. The grounds slope off gradually in every direction, and they are fenced in with a good substantial fence. And the grounds will be beautifully ornamented with trees and shrubbery.


The house is a two-story building and built of native stone, strong and durable, and cost $30,000. Its dimensions are 653 x 81} feet, with a front projection of 6 x 19 feet. It contains eight rooms 30 x 30 feet each ; two rooms 16 x 25 feet ; two halls-one up stairs and one down-16 x 40 feet, and a large cellar, or basement, in which the coal and wood is stored away. A well proportioned cupola or belfry sets off the building in fine style. The bell inside the belfry is a clear sounding one and weighs 420 pounds.

HISTORY.


The several school-rooms are all well seated and furnished with all necessary furniture, books and school apparatus. The seats are all of the latest improved patterns.


The school-house was commenced, managed and completed under the charge of the following Board of Directors: M. R. Tidrick, Presi- dent; I. G. Houk, Vice-President; W. H. Lewis, Secretary ; and H. J. B. Cummings, Fred. Mott, J. T. White and W. W. McKnight, Directors. They deserve great credit and the thanks of the community for the faithful manner in which they have discharged their duties.


Mr. C. C. Chamberlin is the Principal and Superintendent, and is a teacher of long experience, in every respect eminently qualified to fill the duties of his position. He is also assisted by an able and experi- enced corps of teachers.

BARTLETT, M. D."


" In compliment to Dr. HUTCHINSON, and for the benefit of the afflicted every- where, I wish to say that the Doctor has successfully treated me for Catarrh of the nose - a complaint which is very obstinate, and which has given me much concern. O. T. CONGER, Pastor of Winterset Baptist Church."


" I hereby desire to state for the benefit of the afflicted, that I was relieved of deafness of ten year's duration, by the treatment of Dr. DAVID HUTCHINSON, of Winterset, Iowa. ELI ODELL."

HISTORY.


of Iowa was included in one Conference, and Winterset formed a part of the Three Rivers Mission, Iowa City District, Iowa Conference. Rev. Andrew Coleman was Presiding Elder of the District and Rev. G. W. Teas, Preacher in charge of the Mission. Three Rivers Mission inclu- ded the following appointments, located in Madison, Warren and Polk counties, viz : Linden's, Laverty's, Allcock's, Smith's, Fleming's, Winterset and Linn Grove. The records of the first Quarterly Confer- ence of this year are lost, but at the third, Felter's appointment and Indianola had been added to the Mission. In September, 1850, Rev. David Worthington, now gone to his reward, was appointed Presiding Elder of the District, and the pastoral charge of the Mission was sup- plied by Rev. V. P. Fink, a Local Preacher belonging to the Mission. During this year the first Quarterly Meeting in Madison county was held in Winterset, July 12th and 13th.


At the session of the Iowa Conference in 1851, Rev. James Hayden was appointed Presiding Elder of Ft. Des Moines District, and Rev. D. T. Sweem, Pastor of Three Rivers Mission.


The history of Madison county Methodism properly commences in the year 1852. From this year it was no longer lost in the wide field embraced in the Mission. It was recognized by the Annual Conference of this year as Winterset Mission, including all of Madison County. Henceforth it has a name, an individuality, a history, all its own.
