Recent market reports from hicago quote corn and wheat at 2 in 5i cents with the latter a lade in adrance. Corn is scarce Ind selling at an unusually high rice, which is causing efforts to be le throughout the Middle West toward substituting wheat for corn fas food for hogs. Some expe i- ments made in that section are said to show the farmer a return, at the present market . price ol hogs, of $1.30 per bushel. True enough, pork is bringing a fancy price at present, but such a wide margin, as is indicated by these experiments, leaves the farmer plenty of leeway for changes in either commodity. In Oregon, particularly in the Willamette valley, where little or no corn is raised, the experiments be watched with considerable interest. Pork raising, at present prices, is a very profitable indus try in this state and it should be given more attention. Daring the 70's the farmers of Illinois, Iowa, Kansas and Ne braska were growing corn on such an extensive scale that the price fell in many instances below the cost of production. During that period a very large proportion of the crop was sold to Chicago grain buyers, as at that tims compara tively little feeding was being done. This depressed condition of the corn market caused the farmers of that section to look into t he matter with a view to discovering a remedy 2i.x found anoerDroiiuctiou of this commodity but also discovered yfTTTat r by ft that a higher pneo mi;ht be had by feeding their corn to stock. As a result an increased interest was soon' shown in hog and cattle feeding. Many who had given the subject of stock raising no consideration at all, soon had a, few head of hogs or steers about him which he was feeding for the market irom his corn crop. In this manner the farmers were en abled to get an increased price for their grain' as the fattened 6tock were sold .to good advantage. This also reduced the amount of corn for shipment to Chicago, thereby creating a market for the farmer's furplus corn at an ad vanced price. At present quotations, wheat growing in Oregon is unprofitable. Our farmers should let foreigners feed Europe and.turn their atten tion toward something that will furnish some adequate remunera tion for the labor "and capital they are now investing in an industry that makes them poorer each year. With pork at present prices, wheat can be made to yield from CO to 75 cents per bushel by feed- , ing it lo the hoiis. Ihe results of experiments made by Prof. Fiench at the Agricultural college last winter on this line are such as to : dispel all doubts from the minds of those who have thought that , wheat could not be made to pro duce pork equal in quality to corn led pork. The fat on these hogs was very thick and firm in texture while Ihe lean meat was light in color and very juicy, which charac teristics have marked all the re sults in feeding wheat to pigs thus ' far carried on at the station. In a bulletin on the subiect of Di'r feeding Prof. French says, in the rate of gain produced the results will, com pare favorably with those obtained from feeding corn. .Twelve pounds of gain in live weight were produced from each bushel. The hogs sold for Jive cents per pound gross weight. ;This shows an increase over the present price of wheat of,20 cents per bushel. One of these pigs on July 1st weighed 60 pounds and six months later, 331 pounds, showing a gain of 271 pounds. Reckoning wheat at 45 cents per . bushel, the cost per pound of gain in live weight was 3.6 cents or a profit on the gain in weight of 1.4 cents per pound. The Oregon farmer is now pay ing the English 6hip owner 26 cents per bushel for, 'transporting , his wheat to Liverpool, and then turns around and buys his meat in the East, to the price of which is added the cost of freight charges. This is a losing game as every wheat raiser in the Willamette . -valley can plainly see. Of course all" the wheat grown in Oregon -."could not be turned into pork with profit to the giower: but sulfi-' cient pork should be raised here for Pacific coast consumption. mere is no need ot Duying our lard, bacon and hams in the East. These commodities should be produced at home. ' Gazette, store -for stationery. HOW ABOUT IT? Speaking of a 2000 ton ship that sailed recently from England to the Pacific coast to receive a cargo of grain for Liverpool, for which her owners are to be paid as transportation charges 26 cents per bushel, the Times has the fol lowing: If she had been loaded on lierwest hound trip with a caro of tin plate, the would have been able to carry back her caro of w heat at half the price she is to receive, or 13 cents, in which amount the price of wheat would have been raised to the Ore gon farmer. Now Frank let's figure on this a little and see if your argument will bear investigation. Two thousand tons of wheat, or 06,007 bushels, at 38 cents per bushel, is worth $25,333. Two thousand tons of tin plate or 4,000,000 pounds at six cents per pound which is a low price for that, com modity would be worth $240,000. According to your theory, the tanner would save at 13 cents per bushel for freight charges, $8,000. Now in order to save this amount to the Oregon wheat grower we must buy $240,000 worth of tin for which is paid $25, 333 in wheat, leaving a trade bal ance of $214,007 which must be paid in cash while our own tin plate manufacturers are standing idle. Where is this $214,007 to come from? The Oregon City Courier says: Rev. lthys OJwynn, a United Brethren minister, has written a letter dated at Wil hoit, to Governor Pennoyer in reference to the pardon from the penitentiary of C. Bur leigh, aged 72, for raping Glenn.i Mabel Irish, a little girl, in which he says: "The people of Lincoln county are highly pleased with your actiou as far as I can learn. I have known Mr. Burleiuli since 1S53, and there is not a blemish on his character." This meek and lowly sky-pilot; this disciple of the society for the encouragement of raping 13 year- old girls, stands up and runs offjvt- Ih he moulhto the effect JIuAt there ! s not-a..MlemrSii oil Burleigh's i is . character. Blemish, fOl SOOtll! The creed of the denomination to which Rhys belongs must evi dently consider the raping of VOUilg girls as a joke; a sort of' religions ecstacy, as it were. It might be well to keep an eye on "Ilhysie." Sunday's Kxcursion. Two hundred aud fifty residents of Al bany and Corvallis escaped the intense hiat of the valley last Sunday by taking advan tage of the Oregon Pacific's $1.50 rate to Newport. Aud what a jolly crowd they were! It is seldom, indeed, that so con genial and pleasant a company of Corvallis ites are gotten together ou an occasion -of this kind, aud all who were fortunate enough to take the trip, enjoyed the going and coming, quite as well as they did the surf bathing or a stroll on the be.ich. To add to the pleasure of the party, the Ma rine band accompanied the excursion and discoursed several selections that seemed to put new life and animation into every pas- senger on board. At Newport, the boat was met by the 2nd regiment band, which has been stationed there during the season, and a thousand happy faces greeted the passengers as they alighted from the steamer and wended their way toward the dining room of some adjacent hotel, or to ward the culinary department of some friendly camp or cottage, whose hospitable inmates were expected to extend a pressiug invitation to the new comers to partake of their Sunday meal. As the train leaves the. valley at 7:30 p. to. and necessitates early rising, breakfast is had before one's appetite has beeu whet, up sufficiently to do the morning meal that justice due it and which it is usual to pay it, and in conse quence, a ravenous desire for food has been engendered long before the destination is reached, that takes a wonderful amount of provender to appease. Peui Abbey, the genial proprietor of the Bay View house, is authority for the statement that these Sun day excursionists have such ravenous appe tites that lie loses money ou everyone of them that stops at his place and is think ing seriously of asking Receiver Clark to discontinue Sunday trains for the balance of the summer in order to play partially even. This, however, Mr. Clark has no notion of doing, and on next Sunday another opportunity will be given the beat oppressed residents of Corvallis to hie away to the coist and thus escape, for a few hours, the mighty rays of old Sol, which, during the past week, he has sent down with a vengeance as to arouse us to a reali zation of his migljt. The season is just now at it hight. .Some tew seasiders have left for their homes, but each incoming train brings a goodly number of valley folk and thus the interest and activity about Newport has not begun to wane. DOITT BE FOOLED by the denier who brings out eome thiug elee, that pays him better, and says that it is "just as good." Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is guar?- anteed. If it don't benefit or cure, in every case, you have your money back. Ho other medi cine of its kind is so certain and effective that it can be sold so. Is any other likely to be "just as good"? . , As a blood-cleanser, flesh-builder, and strength-restorer, nothing can equal the "Discoyery." It's not like the sarsapa rillas, or ordinary "spring medicines." At all seasons, and in all cases, it puri fies, invigorates, and builds up the whole system. For every blood-taint and disorder, from a common blotch or erup tion, to the worst scrofula, it is a perfect, permanent, guaranteed remedy. Or.

While at the college this week, p Gazette reporter was shown a sample of the Flat Pea vine (Lathyrus Sylvesteruf) that was recently imported to this country from Gern.any. In gome respects the vine re sembles the vetch used in many parts of the state fur fodder; also the pea vine that grows with a great deal of vigor in the mountains of the Coast range. The vine in question, however, is a perennial, and in that respect differs from any plant which it resembles. It was propagated by Professor Wagner, of Germany, who experimented exteiuively with it on various kinds of soils, before anything was said of its merits. As the vine proved such a success in its mother country, some of the seed was taken to England where it was sown on the barren chalk hills of that country. The soil is very thin in these districts, but the pea mule a luxuriant growth and promises to reclaim the entire section to the use and benefit of the agriculturist. Soon after its introduction into America, the state of Michigan established a branch experiment station on what is familiarly known as the Jack Pine plains a vast section of that state upon which no vegetation suitable for grazing purposes has grown for the pur pose of determining whether or not the Flat Pea would grow there successfully, and their expectations, according to Prof. French, hava been more than realized. Reports from the experiment station of that state show that from 12 to 15 tons have been grown to the acre. It is also proving a success in Kansas, as well as in several other states where it has beeu given a trial. Three years a;;o Professor French tried to import some- i f the seed, but it cost 10 per pound, and as a quantity less than three pounds would not be sold, the matter was given up for the time from point of econ omy. While on a visit to the experiment station at Berkeley, California, some two years ago. Mr. f rencii touna tlievuo grow ing there and made arrangements to have some of the roots sent to him at Corvallis during .-t'iS 'following winter. They came ij mail and were planted according to di tllof five fet . t. rections, ltiis year the vino has made a feet and will yield about a ; quart oi seen. b nn. li t of seed. It has a vcrv strone root !,.,! trtnkpfl n. Ii..althv. hnrilv lTrowt.ll. It is of very much the same composition as clover aud all kinds of stock do well on it. A good sized bed of this rare plant is now growing on the college farm from a couple tablespoon fuls of seed which Prof- French received last winter? The plants at this time are very but?!, but in another season it is expected that they will attain large proportions and produce a quantity of seed. It is said that the vine attains a length of 20 feet in a single season and the plant will grow for a period of twenty-tire years from one setting. As this peculiar vine will thrive in shal low soils, it is expected to do well ou the barren foot hills of the Coast rane, where at present nothing but poverty grass will grow at all, and that only during the rainy season. By this means thousands of acres of land, which at present is almost worth less, could be converted into paying prop erty for hay and grazing purposes. By this means also, much of the land in E .stern Oregon, where the bunch grass has been trampled out and thus made practically valueless, would be reclaimed for the im mense herds of stock now roaming the praries of the vast Inland Empire. Prof. French is of the opinion that he will be able to get the plant well introduced throughout the state within the next live years. Should it prove as much of a success as it is expected to, the benefits-that will accrue to the state by its introduction will alone more than reimburse the goverumeutfor its outlay iu maintaining the experiment sta tion duriug the past live years. Roy llaber has returned ffrom Arizona where he has been superintending the oper ation ot twelve amalgamators at the Mam moth mine. Cool atmosphere and ocean ozone can be enjoyed for several'houra at a cost of only $1.50 by taking in the Oregon Pacific excur sion to Newport next Sunday. Cards are out announcing the marriage of Miss Deli i Elizabeth, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Gellatly, to Lieut. Clarence E. Deiitler, of the 11th U. S. Infantry, to t ike place Sept. 12th at the Gellatly res - deuce. They will be at home in Corvallis after Sept. 20th. The Southern Pacific company announce that they will issue, effective September 1, 1894, a special tariff on hops in carloads minimum weight of 12,000 pounds of $1.70 per 100 pouuds from Oregon terminal aud intermediate points to Missouri river, Mis sissippi river; Chicago and . points common therewith; Cincinnati, Detroit and common points; Pittsburg, Buffalo and common points; and New York, Boston and Atlan tic seaboard points. This is nearly 25 per cent, reduction and will be of great bene fit to the hop growers of Oregon. . ihe Southern Pacific company recognize the fact of the present low prices being offered for hops, and are willing to help the situa tion by reducing freight rates. People seem to forget the fact that Ben ton county officials are now working under the salary law aud that all instruments sent to the recorder for record mast be accompanied by the cash. Owing to the leniency of the recorder while working uuder the fee system many seem of the opinion that that official can still be "stood off;" but he can't. The law expressly pro vides that no instrument shall be deemed to be of record until the fees for recording same are fully paid. Recorder Wattera in forms the Gazette that it is a very common occurrence for persons to bend in deeds and mortgages without the cash, and that the senders no doubt think they will be imme diately filed and recorded. Iu this they are mistaken, and those who, since the 1st of July, have mailed any instrument to the recorder without also sending the cash, will find it to their welfare to liquidate without delay should they wish such instruments to be on record. Farewell Party. Society was awakened Wednesday night from the lethargy in which it has lain dur ing the past two months. Will H. Bloss was to leave town on the morrow for Van couver, Washington, where he had accepted a position, aud an informal farewell party was tendered him by Mrs. Bloss, who -was ably assisted in the entertainment by mem bers of Benjamin Harrison Camp, Sous of Veterans, of which Will was captain.- His final determination to leave Corvallis was not made until Tuesday, so that little time was afforded Mrs. Bloss to arrange for the alfair, still, for all that, she has reason to congratulate herself upon her efforts, as it is seldom that so thoroughly enjoyable a social event is gweu in this city. On the lawn south of the residence was spread a canopy of bunting, from the four corners of which streamers of flagging were stretched. Under the canopy aud alung the streamers Chinese lanterns were hung whose soft light gave a uleasant effect. About the lawn, chairs, tables, and rustic seats had been arranged which added comfort to the hun dred or more friends who had accepted invi. tations for the evening. Games and con versation occupied the guests until 9:30 when ices were served. After refreshments, while the company were enjoying a march to the sweet strains of music furnisned by an orchestra inside the house, Captain Bioss was called under the canopy by Mr. Bert Van Cleve aud in a few words presented with a gold chain and charm in behalf of the members of Beuj. Harrison Camp, Sons of Veterans. In a few well-chosen words Mr. Bloss accepted the gift, and cordially thank ed the donors for their expression of frater nity and good will. At a late hour the company departed feeling deeply indebted to their charming hostass for an enjoyable evening. In the departure of Mr. Bloss from among us, Corvallis has lost a desira ble citizen; the football team of the O. A. C. a coacher of exceptional ability, and the Sous of Veterans an earnest and able worker. In his new field of labor the Ga zette wishes him unbounded success. A Good Thing to Keep at Hand.

Yesterday's dispatches from Washington state that the senate adjourned without having coufirmed the appointment of James Ball, as collector of customs at the port of Yaquina. This appointment was made by the president several months ago, but for some unaccountable reason has hung fire ever tince aud It A. Bensell is still holding the fort against all comers. Later. The last official act of the presi dent before leaving for Gray Gables was the consideration of the Yaquina collectorship, when he reappointed James Ball. The sen ate having previously adjourned, a coutirm ation of the appointment by that body will be unnecessary, and Mr. Ball will probably assume the duties of the office as soon as his official bond and oath of ollice can be tiled and approved by the proper authorities, This was one of the Markley-Murphy selections, aud naturally John is feeling jubilant over the result, even though the matter was a long time iu being finally settled.

An Unpatented Sleep Disturber.- Some one down our way owns a cow, which, unfortunately for those living in the vicinity, is troubled with a serious attack of insomnia. She has a deep bass voice and evidently contemplates an early en gagement with some comic opera troupe, and has gone into active training with an assiduity worthy of a better cause. These insomuious attacks usually come on between the hours of four and eight in the morning, which time seems to be set apart for dress rehearsal, although not infrequently the coarse, raspy tones of her deep, gutteral voice may be heaid as she bawls right iu the middle of the ni&ht. Whenever the cow is troubled with insomnia the whole neighborhood cease their morning nap just out of sympathy, as it were, for the poor old brute. Unless her owner takes her to the country, where fresh air and mountain scenery are more plentiful than on the block just north of the court house, and where neighbors are extremely scarce, this cow may get insomnia in a malignant form. It would be a pity to have her young life cut off suddenly in the prime of cowhood.but it is almost impossible to save a cow from the ravages of insomnia if kept in a thickly populated commuuity, especially when the disease affects its victim daring those hours of the night when the neighbors are putting in their best efforts to drive away the cares of the day in refreshing sleep. A Racking Cough Cured by Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. Mrs. r. D. Hall, 217 Genesee St., Lockport, 2J.

During a recent atta.ek of La Grippe, vliieh fissuined the form of a catarrh, soreness of the lungs, accom panied by an iiravatiii; cough, I used various remedies and prescriptions. 7hile some of these medicines partially alleviated the roughing during the day, none of them afforded me any relief from that spasmodic action of the lungs which would seize me the moment T attempted to lie down at ni.sht. After ten or twelve such nights, I was EJearty In Despair, and bad about, decided to sit up nil night in my easy chair, and procure what sleep I could in that way. It then oc curred to me that I had a bottle of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. I took a Kpnnnfnl of this preparation in a little water, and was able to lie down without coughing. In a few moments I fell asleep, and 'awoke in the morning greatly refreshed and feeling n:neh -better.

It lias been the leading subject of professional research and study in all uses. But notwithstanding this fact it is not gener ally Known that the seat of life is loca ted in the up per part of t lie spinal cord, near the base of the brain, and so sensi tive is this portion of the nervous sys tem that even the prick of a needle will cause instant death. Rseent discoveries hare demonstrated that alltheorsansof tho body are under the con trol of tho nerve centers, located In or near t he b:tse of the brain, and that when these are deranseJ the orsans which they supply with nerve liuicl are also deranged. When It is re membered that a serious injury to the spinal cord will cause pVralysis of the body below the injured point, because the nerve force is prevented by the injury from reaching the paralyzed portion, it wilf be understood how the derangement of the nerve centers will cause the derangement of the various organs which they supply with nerve force. Two-thirds of chronic diseases are due to the imperfect action of the nerve centers at the base of the brain, not from a derange ment primarily originating In the organ it self. The great mistake of physicians in treating these diseases is that they treat the organ rather than the nerve centers which are the cause of the trouble. Dr. Franklin Miles, the celebrated spe cialist.has profoundly studied this subject rot over 20 years, and has made many important discoveries In connection with it, chief among them being the facts contained in the above statement, and that the ordinary methods of treatment are wrong. All headache, dizzi ness, dullness, confusion,, pressure, blues, mania, melancholy, insanity, epilepsy, St. Vitus dance, etc., are nervous diseases no matter how caused. The wonderful success of Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine is due to the fact that It Is based on the foregoing principle.
