Which Knuwd Lord Itadlay and Formed a t'rlandnhlp. One of tbo curl of Dudley, who was addicted to thu practice of thinking aloud, found himself in a very awkward predicament ou a certain occasion, if a story told of him may be credited. He was to spend the evening at tbo house of a friend mid ordered bis carriage early, as ho bud n long drive buck to bis own homo. When the hour arrived, the carriage was not forthcoming hcvitig that Lord Dudley was cuin-ideraidy annoyed by tho delay, one of the guests, wIiom! wuy homeward lay past his lordship's house, politely offered him a scut iu bis cur riaga The gentleman was almost n struugur to Lord Dudley, but thu offci wus accepted. Tbo drive did not provo a very so ciable one. Lord Dudley took bis scat aud immediately rulupwd into silence, bis thoughts apparently engrossed by some unplcuNunt subject. Presently he begun to speak iu a low, but distinctly audible, tone of voice, and bis compan ion, to bisuHtouiNlimeut, beard him say : "I'm very sorry I accepted his offer. I don't know the man. It was oivil cer tainly, but tho worst is I suppose I must ask him to dinner." Silence followed this bit of audible, thinking. Ills lordship was unaware that bo had betrayed bis thoughts aud was probably still meditating upon tbo saruo uupleusaut subject when the voice of bis companion broke tbo stillness. Appareutly this stranger was afflicted with the same malady from which his lordship suffered, fur be exactly imitat ed Lord Dudley's tone us be said: "Perhaps he'll think I did it to make bis acimalutuuce. Why, I would have done tbo same to any farmer on his estate. I hope he wou't ask mo to din ner, for I shan't accept bis invitation. " Lord Dudley's abstraction was all gono. He listened to tho other's words, immediately comprehending the joke against himself, and frankly offered his band to his oouipunion, making many apologies fur bis involuntary rudeuuss.

II Couldu't Plow. A certain incident oounected with tbe great Nanoleou wbile be was in exile in Elba is commemorated in the island to this hour by an inscription affixed to the wall of a peasant's house. A man named Giaoonl was plowing when tbe famous exile came along oue day aud expressed an interest iu bis work. Napoleon even took tbe plow share ont of the man's band and at tempted to guide it himself. But tbe oxen refused to obey him, overturned tbe plow aud spoiled the furrow.

The Illinois experiment station some years ago made numerous experiments to dotormiue the comparative merits of thick aud thin planting of corn, and the conclusion reached waa that the thicker tbe planting within reasonable limits the greater the amount of fodder, but that there was very little difference In the value of both combined. If tha ob ject is to get a liberal supply of fodder without much reference to ears, thick planting is ndriwd.

STALEY, Salem, Oregon.: The Marketing Point OF CLACKAMAS COUNTY The factory towns of the East are noted for affording the best market to the neigh boring farmers and gardeners in proportion to the population of any of the towns in that section. The reason for this is that the people of these towns have a fixed in come upon which they can always depend, and, as a consequence, they are liberal buy ers, paying cash for all their purchases. As the Great Manufacturing Center of the Pacific Coast OREGON CiTY-. Is Coming to be One of the Best Marketing Towns in the State This is proven every day by the number of farmers, who are to be seen on its streets selling their produce, who, until just tho last few years, sought the markets of other towns. The system of macadamized roads that is being built into all parts of Clack amas county, will enable all the people of this county to share in the profitable mar ket that Oregon City affords. If, as it is sure to do, the demands of Oregon City in crease in the next five years as it has in the past five years, this city will rank next to Portland as a market place for THE PRODUCE of the Farmer Get our Prices on Job Printing.
