I do n't know how no curato the govcrnnuiut reports may he in Iowa, but I do know they won't do to swear by In Oregon, I tlilnk It la mostly guess-work with them hero, and to lie ou tho safe side they are apt to undcrguess most of the time. Two years ago I had a field of 100 acres of stubble wheat, which averaged .12 bushels to the acre, machine measure, and it weighed thirty-three bushels at the warehouse. It never got Into any government report, and it stands to reason that I tin not the only one that Is not reported. In regard to our hay, he has this to say: "During my live months' stay lu the valley 1 did not see oha jjounif (f timothy ho; In faet, they can't raiso enough to speak of, it is too wot," Hero Is another He without a hair to lis head, "I have seen some cheat and wlld-ont liny which sold for $15 a ton; that kind of liny they would be glad to got rid of, but It Is Impossible to do so," It looks a good deal to a man up a tree t hat $15 a ton Is a pretty good price for hay to bring when the market yliltni.

He eoine at u thla wny alHitlt our fruit: "Vou will be cntlng alraw ocrrle lu Iowa long before they do lu any part of Oregon, and of much ta-tter flavor, although they ralae a few very nice looking ones lu their hothouva; but theae are placed 111 glass jars aud con-red with alcohol and placed lu the laud ageula ofllura for haatern auckera to bile" "Hhadcs of KU I'erkln!"

This la another entirely halrk-ss lie, showing conclusively that Die writer is not only an Ignoramus, but (hat ho has entirely forgotteu his early Hunilay-scliiKil training. Next hesoours a little on dog' fennel). He don't like ourdog's fennel, Why not, pray? pog' fennel la dog's fennel, Is it not, whether here or In Iowa?

NOTES FROM MONMOUTH, Our Reporter Flndi Batch of Inter eating Brioflets from the City of Schools The following extract from a private letter will be Interesting to the mauy friend of Will Dawsou: We readied Washltigtou Monday noou, after a tiresome ride ail night from llult'alo. ll was rather ssr sleep ing ou Ui train, sitting lu the ooach, aa the tars were very much crowded, There were nine cur loud ou the ex cursion train. We took brrnkfastat MorrUburg, I'a. That U, they vailed it a brvakfasl M eelil fur a sand wit h and cupof oollev, We arrived at lial 11 more, Md,, atsiul IQOO, but only sUpmm1 tiiere alxiut twenty mluuu-s, and eotutequcully we ouuld Hot see much of that city; but it bud the ap pearance of a vry beautiful city; It looked as if il were a aolld iiiaM ol brick. Ou retelling here we engaged a rooiii, and spuut the day at the vaplloi buildlug, v lulling the houmj of rt-pre-avnativtt aud senate. The north and aoulh wing of the buildlug are mode of marble, aud Ihe atciat leading up to the eapltol am of while marble. The lualde Is dixumled lu Uioal elaborate atyle, wltheoatly paiuUug baugiogou the walls. From this you can see that ll la a very beautiful building. The next morning we v billed the uaval,war, aud aute departmeula, .which occupy a building ouunidcivd to lie one of the haudaomeal lu the world. From half ptui tell until twelve we aal watching for J anna tl, llialueto eiiu to hi oftlco, but he failed to put lu appear auue. We were shown Into LU room, which you may know Is a very beauti ful union. From here we w eul over to the While House to a public reception glveuby President Harrlnon, when I had the pleasure of shaklug bands with him. From the White Houae we went to the treaaury demrtiiiout. Wtiile going through the nxuu w here they print Msr money aud put it In pack ag, they ahowed us a package con UlnlngHVM). Pasalug through the vaults we saw vault No 1, which Is the targost lu the world, containing (saigas) silver ilollurs, and vault No i, ooutalmug Ha,UU),Mi0 dollars,; uirt of which was gold e al saw where the mutilated cunviicy was ground up into tine pulp. Paitdug from the treasury department we weut to the room known as the aecrvl-acrvloe room, when, counterfeit money Is exhibited, aud also tho tools aud wenpoiia taken from the counter feiters; also, their pictures are hanging ou the wall. These picture constitute the roguw' gallery. From here we returned to the capltol building, and vUited the supreme court chamber aud the house of representatives. This morning, alter eating a hearty ba-akfaat, we visltisl the jiatent oflVee, where every patent made In the I'ulted States could Is) eeeu. Of course we could uottake time to examine ail of thein. I saw Win. Mason's patent gate. From hero we weut to the post ofllee department, where we saw them opening letter and packages sent to the dead-letter olllee. They receive JO,0O0 hitters dally, and between 80,000 and 100,000 packages per J'ettr. They have aome'very queer things ou ex hibition which they have taken from packages and letters. FYoih here we visited the White House. The llrst room was; the publio reception room, then the nsan known as the green room; next la tho blue room, which la the ftuwt nKim In the house. Kvery thing Is blue. Tho walls are covered with silk Uqiestryflhe chairs are gold aud the tlncst of plush. The ceiling has a painting on one end represent ing the cloud of evening, and ou the other the clouds of morning. In this nmn the foreign nil ulsters are re- The Sham and the Real. Every good thing has its imitators, every genuine article its counterfeits. The Ammonia and Alum Baking Powders sold over tho counters are no more like Dr. Price's Cream "Baking Powder, than the paste is like the real diamond, or a counterfeit is like one of the old master's genuine paintings. Vhen greedy and merciless manufacturers claim their adulterated and harmful baking powders are as good as Dr. Price's, they know they are not telling the truth. Theae people know they are destroying the stomachs and the com plexion of the consumers, and there are many grocers recom mending such powders over their counters knowing same to be injurious and worthless simply to make a large profit. Dr. Price, a concientious physician, has spent a lifetime in perfecting and popularizing his Cream Baking Powder, the only Pure Cream Tartar Powder now to be obtained. Multitudes of imitators all over the land have sprung tip. not to imitate the purity of Price's Cream Baking Powder, but to see how cheap they could make their counterfeits and hoodwink the public. ' . Some use Ammonia and others Alum, but all these shams cry in chorus, "Buy this, its just as good as Dr. Price's and much cheaper. ; ' Price's Cream Baking Powder is the standard for purity and perfection the world over, and is beyond comparison. Dr. Price stands for Pure Food and a foe to all shams. ' Hived. Next we were taken Into the red room, which Is used as the family parlor. These were the only room visitors are allowed to enter.
