It is especially desired that this county be properly represnled at the stale fair and Industrial Expos ition, after which it is intended to for ward our diaplay to the midwinter ex position at San Francisco, where we will bo able to ruoro widely advertise the many good things which can so ubuudnntly be produced, Saved br Having Them Good Condition. The subject of good public roads at tracts and deserves a great deal of at tention , It is a subject In which farm era have a greator financial stake than they have realized. While the roads romuin as they are tbe farmers are constantly losing monoy by the delays anu unncuitiet of getting their pro duce to market. If extensive repairs anu reconairucttons are attempted the laxci on larm property will be con siderably increased. If the money paiu lor putting the roads in order is expended by people who understand making roads, and who are honest as well as Intel heent. It will be nrofltablv invested. Good roads cost, but they also pay. we ought to have them I he American Farmer says : To tome extent the principle! which are in volved in making and maintaining nignwayt also apply to farm roadt. If no roads are provided, or if the roads which are made are not kept in order, uie uitnouity, and consequently the expense, oi moving loads to aud from tbe barn is considerably increased. To provide and keen in order eood farm roads will involve some expense, but tne cost win be many times repaid by the increased facilities they afford for carrying on some of the important larm operations. wiiiio every larm of much size neods one or more good rootle over which the heavier loads should be drawn there are places which are in more urgent need of attention than are the farms ss a whole. Wet, or sou spots, and lullnides should have good road beds, even if a general sys tern of road-making for the farm can not immediately be Adopted. It prob- biy requires more than twice the power to draw s given load through one ot tbe "mud-boles" which are found on so many farms than it does to move it over a fairly good road. As for drawing a load up hill, every one who has had experieuce teaming on an uneven farm knows that the power required is much creator than is needed on a level road. It not in frequently occurs that small loads must be drawn from the most distant arts of the farm because there are one or two bad spots between that point and the barn. A little work on these spots would open a pretty good road for the whole distance. If fairly well done it would last for years, but it would pay to do this work if it had to be repeated every summer. It would save many long trips every season, would prevent much annoyance both the team and to the driver, and Land on "the Quadrant." Several communications have been received by the Oregontan from per tons who wish to know if it is advis able for them to take up claims on the "quadrant," a tract of land in Wash- ingtuo county, the title to which is now being contested by the govern ment and tho (Southern Pacific com pany. The Oregonian could not take upon itself to offer any ad vine in the matter. The case was decided by Judge Bellinger a short time since in favor of the government, but an ap peal has been taken to the circuit court. What the result will be only a first-class prophet can tell. The pre sumption probably is that the decision will be sustained, but it win not ao to presume too far in such matters. It seems that where there are plenty of public lands, the government's title to which is undisputed, it it scarcely worth while for any one to take up land the title to which it in dispute. It would probably be better to wait till the title is settled than to take chances of being involved in the trou ble and worry which the settlers on the quadrant have had to suffer. There are nearly 500 claims taken on tho quadrant, tome of them dating back prior to tho time oi tne original grant to the railroad company. Many of the claims taken are timber, but some of the settlor! who have been on the laud for yeara have made valuable improvements, and some have patents on their land from the government. The greater number of ths claims have been taken tince 1885, when the commiiBioner of the general land of fice decided that the tract was open for settlement. Some of tho claims were taken previous to the grant be ing made to tho railroad, anou lau, but few were taken from 1872 op to 1885, whon the railroad grant was de clarud forfeited. There are douiitless very many olaimt vacant on the tract, but at to the quality of the land or timber the Oregonian b no definite inforiustiou. to would enable tho farmer to push his work much more rapidly than he otherwise can do. In some cases the hard pull comes at tome point where ruts have been formed. Here there it not merely a (treat increase in ths la- Dor ol teams, hut there is also a severe nd an altogether unnecessary strain upon the wagons and carts. Many a wheel has been spoiled, and a consider- ble bill for repairs has been incurred, by means of these ruts. The delay aud inconvenience caused by such a breakdown are always vexatious, and the expense involved is not always met with good humor. If the time lost in waiting to have tbe necessary repairs lo the wagon made were used u putting the road into good condi tion, future losses and annoyances from this source might be avoided aud occasion for the ubo of a good deal of bad language would be prevented. lo make first-class highways, over which thousands of teams are lo pass every year, requires a good deal of scientific knowledge. Such knowledge though valuable, is not indispensable making farm roads. In order to keep it dry and bard, ths road should be a little higher in the midle than it is at the sides. Ruts should be pre vented by forming as solid a roadbed us possible, and making repairs as soon as the least depression in the wheel tracks is observed. Where the road posses through wet ground the bed should be somewhat elevated and a trench should be made at each side for carrying off the surplus water. At tention to these points, and to a few minor matters which will snggest themselves, will enable the farmer to make, on his own land, roads which ill fully answer all practical pur poses. Railroad Company Incorporated. Mention was made in these columns last week of the filing of articles in corporating the South Shore Railroad Company and Plymouth Realty Com pany. The projectors of the enter prise and incorporators of the com pany are W. D. and G. II. Thayer, of Plymouth, Columbia county, and Jag. D. Chapman and C. G. Thayer, of Fre donia, New York. The company is incorporated undor the laws of Oregon, and capitalized at $100,000, divided in to 1,000 shares of $100 each. The duration of the company is fifty years. It is the intention of the company to build and operate steam and electric railways, ten miles or more in length, both of whose objective points are in Columbia county, and the principal, office of the company will be at Plym outh, two miles south of Rainier. The company proposes to construct a line of railroad from Plymouth to railroad connection at Goble, a dis tance of six miles, and "will also ex tend their line into the interior a few miles for the purpose of transporting wood, lumber, shingles and other pro ductions of tho interior districts which are both numerous and valuable. G. II. aud W. IX Player, of the same company, have incorporated and orga nized the Plymouth Realty Company, which they have capitalised at $100, 000, for the purpose of dealing in real estate in Oregon aud Washington. This company has purchased a tract of land known as the Donblebower place, two miles south of Rainier, which will be platted and put on the market, and where the principal office of both railroad aud realty companies will be located. Ths incorporators are all eaatern men and have ample resources and plenty of rustle and business capacity. They will be a valuable addition to the business fra ternity in this county, to which we gladly welcome them and wish their enterprise success. Notice. Notice is given that George II.

A New York dairyman tolls how make cheese in this way : "Have tinsmith solder a faucet near the bot tom at one end of an ordinary wash boiler, which will hold five or six pail fulls. Fit a movable tin screen inside. about three, inches from the faucet and extending about the same distance above it, which shall hold the curd away from the faucet. This, with long, wooden paddle, is all you need order especially for the work, except cheese cloth, rennet and s cheese press. Six pailfulls of sweet milk with the cream in it will make about fifteen pounds of cheese. It need not be of one milking if ft is perfectly sweet. rut the milk in the boiler on the stove and heat it to eighty degrees. Remove from the stove and add tbe rennet The tablets are easier to use and the direction accompany them. When ths milk has coagulated, which will which will take place in ten minutes or less, it must be cut to the bottom of the boiler each way, making about two-inch squares. The whey will be gin to start almost at once, fiink a small dipper into it slowly and the whey may be removed gradually until twoquurtsor more have been collected Heat this rather hot, not scalding, and pour it over the curd, stirring it care fully. When at 100 degrees open tbe faucet and allow the wbey to drip out, dipping it out from the top as before described. When drained sprinkle halt a teacupfuil of hue dairy salt on the cord and crumble and mix it thoroughly with the hands. Have square of strong, loosely-woven cloth wet and placed in the cheese hoop, tneu should be tne size of a peck measure. Press the curd into the hoop, adjust the cover after the cloth has been folded on the top ol the curd. and submit the cheese to gentle pros sure. Prepare a bandage of choet cloth large enough to go around the cheese and wide enough to nearly cover the ends. Lay os tbe ends an other piece and sew to the piece around the encese. Keep at seventy degrees in a dry room. Too much salt or too much sculdkig when healing the curd hardens the cheese, while careless stir ring starts the 'while whey' and al lows much of the butler fats to escape." The Sckaal Apportionment.
