Alt through the United States
may be found farmer by the bun
drvd, living on run down farina,
attempting to make a liWnr
growing corn and wheat, and keep
lngao large a. part of their land
under the plow as to continually
reduce its fertility more and more,
while the yield of their cropa i no
sfuall aa to leave them uo margin
of profit, and they are kept eon
tinunlly poor, Now, I not only be.
lleve, but I know, that there la
better way to manage thefte,fitrm
a way that will reduce tbe expense
of cultivating theui, give a fair
chance to Improve the aoil, and re-
(luce tbe expeuao of living by mak
lug the farm furniab the family
more than it now doe.
I wUh I could iuipruM on the
mludit of my roadera thetw pointa,
for their observance would bring
relief to nutny a diBconrugod, pov
orty-Btilckfii farmer, and, pern-
vemiin, wouia in a few yean
place hint In drcunuttaneea of com'
fort. Solomon auyn, 'The dent ruc
tion of tlio wor U their poverty,"
and this 1b fully exemplified where
the farmer, having gone in debt
trie to get out by keeping a large
ht cent, of bin farm nnder the
plow. lie nndertttkea wore work
limn he rati do well with the team
ami help he baa, and cultivates
more land than be can keep t'crtil
I .ml, and aa a coiutequence hi
cropa pay no profit. -
I can m from my tipper window
a half down farms mauaged In thin
way not an acre to cut for hay on
any of them; but a auialt per cent.
of them in pasture, and that over
atocked, ao that tu eae of a tlrotiglit
tit stock mntit be sold at a low or
Buffer a loaa of fioKb, and often hay
muxt be bought at high prices, for
feeding, the latter pait of winter
aud early apring.
The garden on these forma Is
aearcely worthy of the name. It is
lowed luto in the spring, a few
vegetable planted and indifferently
cared for, and then it lu left to grow
up to weeds, and tho cultivation of
garden Blocked with weed Jn
thin way la a kind of purgatory.
Ou ntOHt of these farms there la no
fruit other than what a neglected
apple orchard furubhea. What
there la attractive about farm life
uniler such conditions it is difficult
to see. In fact, there is nothing,
and these farmers stuy on tbe farm
Himply bceaiiHo they do not know
what else to do.
One of the first things to do is to
pnt tho larger part of such farms
into grass and clover. This will at
once stop the reduction of fertility
which constant cropping Is canning,
and reduce tho expenses of cultiva
tion. It will enuble the owner to
fertilise and thoroughly cultivate
the reduced area under tlia plow,
so that the few acres will give prof
itable crops, and as there will be
little labor and expeuso with the
gnu land a reasonable profit may
be expected from each acre, where
as now, after coat of cultivation is
dcducUnl, there Li no profit nt all.
This plan of farming is a hopeful
one, for the land cau lie continually
improved uudur it, while the old
way Is improvising it. I lave an
excellent illustration of the two
methods of farming on a farm that
I pass every ,day. The former own
er lived on it for twelve years, and
the present owner hits been on it
eight years. The farm contains
fifty acres, thirty-five' of which is
fair plow land. The first owner
rarely plowed more than ten acres,
often not more tlmu seven, and kept
all the balance of the farm in grans
ami clover. He kept a few good
cows and sold butter, fattened a
few pigs, raised on the milk of the
cows, and sold a quantity of hay.
His plowed land was all put in corn
except in the years in which he
wished to bood some laud anew to
gratis, when he would grow a field
of wheal; all tho manure , was put
on that field put in corn, and with
but one small field to plow and cul
tivate, the work was always done
enrly nud thoroughly. Ihitveoften
known him to have his corn
worked over three times before his
neighbors begun. The butter, hay,
poultry and pork, gave a good in
come, and without being hurried
lib Beldom hud to hire a day's
work, nis mule calves were sold
for veal, and : the heifers raised,
and occasionly ho had a cow to
sell. Thoro was plenty of time to
cultivate a garden, and small fruit
patch, and the farm was a model of
neatness, ami when its owner be
came too old and infirm to cult!
vate it longer, It sold for one thou
sand dollars more than it would if
delapitlated and run down in soil,
buildings, aud surroundings.
The picture changes, llie man
who bought it had a mauia for
acres uniler cultivation, and for
somo years has had from thirty to
forty acres of it under the plow.
and In addition has often rented
from tea to twenty acres a year,
ofton where he must go from one
to two miles to reach his work
For several years past he has not
cut a pound of hay at home, but
will go from three to five miles
away to out grass , on the halves,
and be usually runs out of hay , be,
fore March. I have never seen
pasture on this farm that was not
overstocked, and he has grown
fewer bushels of corn on twenty
acres than his predecessor did on
seven. I need not say more; the
picture Is true In every particular,
and its counterpart can be found
too often. -
A WKAK UttJKCTIOM.
The great objection to Hermann
for re nomination to congress in the
First district is based on the opin
ion or several ambitions gentlemen
that '"one man shouldn't have it all
the time," and that it is "somebody
else's turn." That is, a man isn't to
be sent to congress to serve the pub
lic, but as a favor to himself. He
feels that it Is ''bis turn," and he
wants iL-Qigvmia.
This is the merit upon which IL
a Miller, of Grant's Puss, and Sol,
Abrahams, ofRoseburg, base their
oaudidacy, It will be seen, how.
ever, when Jjie district convention
meets, that this flimsy pretext to a
nomination will be over-ruled by a
large majority of the delegates.
The question in the First: district
ought to, and uodonbt will be, who
can best serve the district and the
state la congress. . Not whoso turn
it is to go, that the position belongs
to the people and Is not the proper
ty of a claimant. We take this po
sition, not because Mr. Hermann is
republican, so much as he is honest
and capable, and has become, well
versed in tbe minutia ot legislation,
has formed friendly association with
members of congress, understands
the situation, is well informed as to
the wants of the people, and occupies
position wherein he can labor
more emcleutly in belt air of tbe
needs of tho state tlan any other
new and untried man can possibly
attain to.
When it is considered that the
Republicans have less than 2000
majority in tho First district, there
is a good fighting chance for the
Democats, and a change from Her
mann to anyone else will be a big
thing in their favor. In case this
opposition inaugurated by the gen
tlemen from Itoseburg and Graut's
Pass, on the grouud that "it is their
turn," instead of more efficient re
presentation in congress, should
become sufficiently strong to defeat
the will of a majortity of the Re
publicans in this district, it is hoped
that tho Democrats will put up a
broad minded, liberal man oue
who will be able to show those
fellows who are so desirous of a
change that it is "bis turn" next
year. Whiteson Adounce.(Itep.)

Loams, Oct 18. Tho birthday
of the Prince of Wales, November
0, falls this year on tbe lord mayor's
day, and the conjunction of (lie two
occasions Inspired certain loyalists
to arrange a big celebration in
honor of tbe prince, and have the
expense borne by tbe city of Ion
don, along with the mayors' show.
The fact that the present Prince of
Wales is the first Of those holding
that title to reach his fiftieth year
without having the throne, was to
have been utilized as an additional
reason for making the event not
able. But the idea has been aband
oned, and it is just beginning to be
learned why it was not decided to
carry it out, H seems that the
ord mayor called a meeting of the
aldermen to discuss the subject,
and supposed there would be noob-
ection, but some democratic spirit
not only opposed the scheme, but
used strong language in doing so.
Vrcwasquile a scene sad the
references to tbe prince were such
as to impress the originators of the
idea as disloyal. It became evi
dent that there would be stren
uous opposition to the granting of
money for such a celebration as the
one suggested, and the meeting was
suddenly dissolved Efforts were
made to keep the proceedings from
the press, and they have been suc
cessful, bnt the facts have been
mode a matter of gossip in the clu bs
and tho occurrences cited as anj Il
lustration of the falling off in the
spirit of unreasoning devotion to
royalty which not long ago pre
vailed. MR. TtU'KMAM.
