Breweb, , irattllaitcougL Condition of the Farming Interest In England. Most of our readers aro aw arc that sinco 1874 farming has been a losing business to a very large proportion of Engliuh farmers. A succession of very wetandcold summers, com bined with American competition has been tho cause; and the sums that have been lost arc simply fabulous, and tho hard-working, w ell to do farmers, w ho ha o been ruined by causes entirely beyond their control, is le gion, Present prospects aro more encourag ing but the remark on every hand is, "It will tako a succession of extra good crops to put us right again." I was greatly surprised to learn on what a largo scalo farming is carried on here. Through Yorkshire, Liuconshiro Cambridgeshire, as well a in many of tho Midland Counties, 400 acres iB quite an ordi nary sized farm, and they go up to 600, 900. 1,200, and many of them in theirteens. I spent quito a time with one farmer in Cambridgeshire who is farming 1,800 acres, and he is not an exception. Tho outlay re quired to stock and equip these farms is a for tune in itself. Horses by the score, at 200 to 400 dollars each, ttore steers by the hundred at "from 55 to 70 dollars, ttore sheep by the hundreds, at 7 to 10 dollars. Then tho mat ter of machinery is a large item; portable en gines for plowing and threshing at 3,200, sometimes two of them on one farm. An other item on artificial fertilizers, and another oilcake, Indian corn and bran, again creep up into the thousands Then a small army must be paid dvcry w eek. Then comes tho inevitable "rent day"; tho taxes, tho tithes, church rate, road tax, poor rate, drain tax and school tax; and 1 am sorry to say ttutt in many places, I heard the latter almost com plained of. It will readily bo seen that a poor crop, not to say an utter failure, is a serious matter. Corr. Lhe-Sloek Journal. Changing Conditions in American Farming. It is not stranpo that year by year the grain aud live stock pioducts of our country increase faster than does tho population. We liao been an exporting nation, and each year with an equal yield per acre, tho surplus for export grows larger. Tho increased acreago put into cultivation each year, more than supplies the wants of tho imcrcased population. Until now, good markets have been found for the surplus. Homo markets have been improved, and now foreign markets have been developed. Ono of the most striking illus trations of this is seen in tho exports of meats. Thq quantity of preserved meats sent to for eign countries is enormously greater than it was a few years since ; and tho now branch of export trade that in fresh meat aud livo animals has already become an important factor in the prosperity of both American and British farmers. Thoughtful men look to the f uturo not with out somo anxiety. The question is not an idle one "Where are markets to be found for tho surplus of American farm products, if they continue to increase as rapidly as they have in tho past?" Of course the time is not very far distant when all available low-priced lands of this country will bo under cultivation, and the increaso of production will bo much less rapid. It is also true that the home con sumption promises to increase even faster than in the past. But even now, gi ing a few years of abundant harvests, both in this coun try and in Europe and the problem of the salo of onr surplus at a profit would be a very difficult one, Xationa I Lhe-Stock Journal, ofCMcatjo, Exporting Raw Materials. Tho ugliest featuro of the export trade of California is the fact that we export so much in the shapo of raw materials. Our wheat should go in tho shape of flour, instead of as it does, just as it comes from tho thrashing ma chine. 'Our wool should go at least ia a cleansed form, instead of its dirt, as it does; perhaps wo should havo said in the form of yam or cloth. Our hides should go out of the State in tho form of leather) or rather in the form of boots and shoes and harness. No country ever became truly prosperous, anfl to country ever supported a large population, whilo its commerce was employed in ttio ex port of raw material and in tho import of manufactured articles. Agriculture and com merce cannot alone build up a State; manu factures must bo a co-ordinate industry with them. We need homo markets, which can le supplied only by manufactures. Itecord- Union. Success to tho Fruit Canneries. Canning fruit for export in California is comparatively anew industry, but, notwith standing, it is to this industry that the pres ent boom in fruit culture is chiefly due. We like to ship our green fruit to Chicago and New York and realize large profits, but there is groat risk in tho business, and at best this trado can ditnose of but a small, verv tiltrc-U. amount of fruit. To tho canneries wo uru'Jt- look for the great market. When once care fully put up in cans, fruit can bo kept almost an indefinite period, and can be shipped to any pirt ot the world. The markets for green fruits aro easily glutted, but for canned fruit tho market is too extensive and too continuens to be supplied in a day or a week, or ever. Those who contemplate, going into the fruit butincu will do well to make their calcula tions on tho maikct the canuirica promise rather than on those that call for green fruit I'teortl-Union. A certain parson, who it also a school teach er, handed a problem to his class in mathe matics the other day. The first boy took it, looked at it awhile, and said, "I pass.' Seoondboy took it and said, "I turnitdoun," Third boy stared at it awhile and drawled out, "I can't make it." ",Vry good boys," said the parson, "wc will tut for a mw ileal." And the switch dancod like lightning over tbe s'loiildcrs of those depraved young math era ticum. LOST IV THE XIOl.VrAI.N8. (ienrec F.. Strong mnnilrr Into the Moun tain In Lnnc I'nnnly Two Meek Since, nnd Is still .lllsslne. From a gentleman who arrived last evening from Southern Oregon wo learn tho following particulars in regard to Mr. George E.Strong, of Salem, whom wo reported a day or two since as having wandered off into tho moun tains near Springfield, Lane county, whilo in a fit of mental abberation. Mr. Strong, who has until lately been an agent of tho Oregon Military Road Company, is well known in this city, having at one timo been assistant editor of tho Orcgonian, was coming from Linkville in company with General John F. Mi'ler aud three hired men, and stopped fur the nicht at Hill's station, on tho military road about fifteen miles from Springfield, whero they lodccd in a barn. Durinir tho evening Mr. Strom;, who was suffering from thepVprivation of ACCUSTOMED STIMULANTS, fFrom tho effects of which his nerves were in a shattered condition, ho not having been able to sleep for se eral nights, was observed to bo acting strangely, and appeared to be undergoing much mental worrnnent and anx iety, said he heard music at a distance and was going out to see what it meant. Mr. Miller fcent a man to watch him. no went to Hill's house and told him that tho men in tho barn were trying to kill him, nnd. that Miller would not prevent them. Ho was brought back to tho barn and went to bed. Just be fore daylight lie slipped quietly out, leaving his coat behind him. As soon as it was light search was mado for him and he was TRVCKKD TO THE RIVER, Into which ho had stepped, nnd then he truncd toward the mountains. His trail was followed for somo distance, uutill all trace of it was lost in tho rocky and w ild region to which it led. General Miller and party re mained at Hill's for somo timo and searched In all directions, hut no traco ot tho missing man could bo touml. .Mr. lull told him that ho w ould collect the neighbors and make a TIIOItOL'MI SEARCH, And General Miller reluctantly proceeded on his journey. This was on tho Othjnst., and on Wednesday ho received a letter from Mr. Hill stating that tho country had. been searched far and near, but nothing had been seen or heard of Mr. Strong. It is hardly to be expected, owing to tno Into inclement weather and the great length of time ho has been missing, that ho will ever bo found alive. I3T I'OI.VTEUS. A Correct list or Oregon nnd Washing ton Graduate. An item has been going tho rounds of our exchanges lately, says tho Talk, purporting to bo a list of tho graduates from this Stato and Washington Territory at West Point, which is incorrect in its main points as far as Oregon is concerned, and leaves Washington Territory shorn of her cadet glofy in the lato war. The facts are these, as we clean them from an old pioneer, and ono who knows whereof ho sneaks : Oregon's first cadet was Adair, of Astoria; her second, Medorum Crawford. Jr . and not Lane: tho latter never graduated there. Although wo believe he served some three years and 8 months, and if our memory is not at fault, young Lane was with tho party of Southern cadets who hoisted tho rebel flag on one of tho towers of West Point, and who were mot in the building by tho cadets of the loyal States, driven out, tho rebel flag lowered, and the stars and stripes thrown to the breeze. The next day all the Southern cadets resigned, young Lano with them. Tho third, Lieut. Fred, Schwatka, of Arctic fame, and the fourth, Lieut. Scott; tho fifth will bo young Geary, son of Rev. Dr. Geary, of Eu gene City, who will graduato in June, 18S2, and likely bo succeeded by a son of Quincy A. Brooks, of Lako county. Washington Territory was honorably represented in tho late war by her first gradmtc, Capt. Robot t Collins, who lost a leg at Gettysburg, nnd is now on the retired list. We havo been sur prised to see the item referred to pass through so many papers of Oregon and Washington Territory, without a single attempt to correct it. It is a matter of history, and as such should bo correct in a few of its leading fea tuns at least. Oregon Tobacco Crop. From tho census report of 1880 on tho tobacco crop of tho Unitod States, by coun ties, wo mako tho following referring to Ore gon.

He paid Portland tho compliment that it looked lor all tho world to him like a New England city, and tho only thing to make ltt advanced civilization tho more appirent was a Woman's f'nilrago Convention such as ho was then attending.

The sidewheel river steamer Idaho, recently brought over tho Cascades and hauled out on the cast side ask for repairs, was launched .Saturday. Under tho direction of Mr. J, J.

YILLARD'S TALK. lie Addresses onr Business Men Vcsterdnr nnd Tells Thrm Plainly mint They con Expect. Steamers to Liverpool Iron Industries Onr Utter liars, Etc., Etc. Mr. H. Villard had a conference with some forty ol the prominent business men of this city Saturday afternoon at tho rooms of the Merchant's Protective Union. Thomeetingwas presided over by Mayor D. P. Thompson. Tho distinguished visitor was introduced by Mr. Kenneth Macleay, and in a speech of an hour and a half's duration, explained clearly and plainly to his listeners his views and in tentions in regard to tho all absorbing topic of transportation. His remarks wero to the effect that those Portlamlers who imagined that it was his intention to make this city the incus of the entire transportation system of tho Northwest and not to mako connection with deep water AT THE SOUND And effect railroad connection w ith California, wero mistaken. It was his intention not to discriminate in favor of or against any town, but as this matter of transportation was purely a business afiair, it was his purpose to so conduct it as to assure tho best interests of tho company and the producer, and if wheat could be shipped cheaper from Kalatna or the Sound than from this place, it would be done. In such acasoour merchants could build ware houses hero and havo their wheat shipped at theso points. In any event tho rivers ought to bo dredged and kept open to navigation. Mayor Thompson stated that tho dredgo would snon bo ready, and that the working time still available would bo amply sulh cicnt to KKMOVE THK OBSTRUCTION Which at present impedes our navigation nnd that hereafter tho city would raiso by taxation the sum of $20,000 yearly which would bo sufficient to pay Iho expenses of tho dredge in keeping the liver open. In answer to objections urged against tho picpayincnt of freight Mr. Frescott satisfactorily explained that tliero wero several bundled stations on their lines, and it was not practicable on tho ground of economy to havo an agent at each and that they picferred to collect from tho merchants hero whom thoy know, and 'et them collect from their customers. Mr. Vil lard hinted at tho probability of largo iron in dustries being started hire, and stated that it w as possiblo ho might lunnlinoof steamers direct from here to Liverpool. From esti mate supplied him by CAPTAI.V aOIUHNCIK, He was satisfied that tho schemo was fcasiblo. A steamship could make tho passage from here to Liverpool by coaling at tho Straits of Magellan, and coming back with immigrants bring coal to resupply tho station for tho re turn trip to Liverpool. In the course of his remarks Mr. Villard intimated that Portlamlers wero not fully awakened to, nor their city prepared for tho culmination of tho great system of transporta tion now in course of construction. Ho said that in a short tiino 1,200 miles of railroad, tributary to this city, would bo completed and that in two years wo would havo through connection with Lako Superior, and bo tho terminus of a 0.000 miles' stretch of rail. Mr. Villard and party will leave for tho East on or about Wednesday next. The Imuias School. Tho scholars of tho Indian school at Forest Grove, 75 in number, aro coming to this city to remain until Mon day, and aro to bo the guests of tho Sunday Schools and Churches of tho city. Meals will bo supplied them at tho Taylor street M, K. Church, beginning this af'cruoon, on ar rival of tho tiain, Tho public is cordially invited, and tho Sunday Schools nnd Cluirchcs expect to supply provisions for tho purpose. Tea and coffeo will not bo served. A commit tee will bo in waiting at 10 o'clock this morn ing at tho M. K. Church for the purpose) of receivinc provisions. Tho object of this visit is an educational ono, giving the scholars an opportunity to visit tho fair, and also tho Churches and .Sunday schools of tho city Too Bad. GiptainlU. C. Ainsworth, lately shipped ninety joung black bass from San Francisco to Mr. W. B. Blackwell, of Ta coina, to bo placed by him in America lako near that town. Owing to tho water not be ing changid in tho birrel in winch thoy wero placed, unfortunately they died beforo readmit; Kulama. Capt. Ainsworth has already introduced tho Kastern speckled brook trout, with which ho has stucked a lako near Iiih resi lenco on tho Sound, whero they aro doing well, and it is a pity ho Ins failed in tho at tempt to introduce this other splendid game fish. Such fish as sptcklcd trout and black baBS are likely to prove of more valuo than tho mud eating carp. Fiicst Ti.ll'. Tho handsome new steamer Joseph Kellogg, named alter the captain and owner, started yesterday for Freoport She was linlt to supply tho placo-of tho old Day ton on this route, and is a great improvement on that boat.
