The following letter from the pen of one of Uackamae county s successful farmers appeared in the Farmer and Stockman lor January: "From all appearances at the present time dairying, in all its branches, bids fair to be profitable for 1898, as there will surely be a large demand for dairy products to go North with the mining excitement. The dairvman who baa been impr vine his cows, with a view of making dairying pay, will stand a good pro8)ect of matin it a success this year, especially if he has bee-i fore handed in raising feed for them with a view to making butter, at to make dairy ing profitable the dairy farmer must aire bis own feed, or otherwise) we can not compete with the Middle states, where bran and shorts sell for about half the price obtained in Oregon, and all other feeds io proportion, whereas butter brings only about four cents a pound more than in the East. The dairy cow should make at least 300 pounds of butter yeai, or she should milk at least 6000 pounds of milk a year. A cow to do this must have plenty to eat at all seasons of the year, aad to get that we must raiee vegetables and early corn to help out the grass, as after July, the farmer who depends on grass for dairying will find it too dry to be profit able, except on the river bottom lands, where they are subject to overflow or (ubimgHtion. In tie fall and early winter on bottom lands late-sown oats and peas mixed make good green feed to January 1, and on the higher, dryer lands the thousand headed thale will produce equally ai much feed at corn, and can be used through fall and winter as a cheap and valuable fodder, in connection with hay. It stand frost well and is relUhed by all kinds of stock, and for my part I like it better than ensilage, although I know my brother dairymen will not agree with me. Yet no one will deny tbat ensilage has lost some of its nutritive value due to fermentation. To make butter and cheese manu facturing a success we must make the best, an 1 fix it so as to tempt the eye as well as the palate. Today if we had to sell butter and cheese like we found in the Portland market of 30 years ago, it would be an uphill business. Now the beHt butter is made by cream eries, and thos run on the co-operative plan have piiid well in the past year, with every prospect of being more so in the coming yea . Where the milk has been sold to the creameries, as a rule, the hutter-inakur has made the nioHt money, as he has purchased the milk even below the cost of production. This year, if the dairymen all try to put the bent of their products on the market in the best possible condition, and manufactured bo as to be shipped in airtight casex, we will make a good showing on our balance sheet at the end of 1808.

One of tho clover, pretty girls in Smalltown hud gone abroad to stndy musio and had there met uud made a serious impression ou this Hunguriuu gentleman, who had crossed the Water to make ber a visit. He held a military potation in his own country, and the tails of his military coat, liued with a brilliant red, near ly prostrated the entire community. "One Sunday morning he accompanied the youug lady to church, mid of course Smalltown was out in full force to get a good look at him. Certainly his church deportment differed widely from anything ever witnesed in this coun try. He was seated iu the pew with the young womau when her father came down the able. As the father entered the pew the tall Hungarian arose, placed his bund across bis breast and bent double in a ceremonious bow, thou seated himself, the red coattuils being much in evidence during the salnte. When the girl's mother entered a few minutes lafar, tbo same formal recep tion bow was inude to her. As a rule, Americans do not rise aud make sweep ing bows iu church; but, as is evident, such is tbe Hungarian fashion, and Smalltown was naturally much inter ested and agitated over this unusual dis play of foreign manner."
