IS t B1EEB eslEBsB t I u brought up on a farm ; that is, I come up with the cows. Labor has been to , me a sweet boon. There is ao fanner in this ooantry that has done more real sitting around than I hTe. It was my practice in youth to sit on the fence aud see the hireil nen work. There is no more ennobling occupation than swinging the reaping nisehias or holding tha plow. I nerer held the plow much, because the oua w had was gtntle. It would stay without being helit The brewing ef cheese aad butter was among the earliest industries. Away back in the history of tho world we find Adam and F-r conveying their milk from the fianlen nf Eilen in a eoe-horss wa gon to a cheese factory in the tied of Nod, to be weighed in the balance. Whatever may be said to the discredit of Adam and Ere in the marketing of the products of their orchard, it has never been charged that they stopped at the pump and pat wter in the milk cans. Doubt yott will remember how Cain killed his brother Abel, becsaae Abel would not let htm de tax churning. Even then boys quarreled abeut doing the family churning. They ail want! to do it We can picture Cein and Abel driving moo loy cows up to the house from the pasture in the southeast corner of the garden, and Adam standing at the bars with a tin pail and a three-legged ssool, smoking a sneer schaum pipe and staging " Hold the fort, for lam coming" "through, the Rye," while Eve sits on the veranda with a sewing ma chine, altering her last year's fxilonaise, and winkiiig at the Devil, who stand behind the milk hon;, singing "I want to be an An-cL" After Adam got through milking he came up and saw Eve blushing, and seid, " Madame, rhtftf if," and she chat k. Put, to come down to the present day, we find that chevse has become one of the most important branches oi manufacture. It is next in importance to the silver interest. And, fellow cheeee-uakera, you are - taping yourselves great injustice that yu do not petition Congress to pass a bill to remvnetise cheese. Cboeie was demrnetised when Con gress passed an act establishing tbe theory that the moon was made of green raceso. -There is more chese raised in the United States than there is silver, sad it is fsr more valuable. Suppose, you had not eaten a mouthful in thirty day and you hoId have placed on one plate on a table before you ten dollars (tamped cut ef silver hi-Um, m-A nine dollars stamped out of cheese belli-i :i another plate ; which would you take first ? Though th far value of the nine cheese dol lar should be 10 per cent, below the face value of the ten silver -dollars, yon would take tbe chances on the clreese. You coald ase it to better advantage in your business. Hence I say that cheese is more valuable than silver, snd it sbeuld be made a legal tender for all debts, public and private except pew rest. I trust the day is not far distant when 412) grains of cheese hall be equal to one dollar in cod-fish, aad when ths merry jingle of slices of cheese shall b heard in every pocket. Then every cheese factory can make its own coin ; money will be plenty and everybody will be happy, and tanre never will be war any more. It may be asked how this currency can be redeemed? , I wonld have an incontrovsrtibls bead made of Litu burger' cheese, which is stronger and more durable. When this is done you can tell the rich man from the poor by ths smell nf hi money. Now-a-day s many of sa do not even get a smell of money, but in the good days which are coming the gentle lephyr will waft to us the delicate violet aroma of the able bodied Limbarger, and we shall know that ssoaey ia plenty. Th manufacture of cheese is a business that a poor man can engage in as well as a rich man. I say it without fear of successful contradiction, and say it boldly, that a poor man with, say 200 cows, if he thoroughly .understands his business, can market more cheese than a rich man who owns 3410 oxen. Thi is 9crrtible of dem-ensr-',ioa. If ;iy trw-nd rf mine showed a desire t W?irr.; u jui?uuaii, I would say to him, "ioung man. get married ; buy a moo ley cow and go to Eastern Oregon and start a cheese faotory." Speaking ef cows, did it ever occur to you what a saving it woald be te you if you should adopt mooley cows in stead of horned cattle What geod do horns do in making cheese J " takes at least three ton of hay aad a large quantity of ground feed annually to keep a pair of horns fat, and of what earthly rue are they Statistics show that thsr are annually killed 45,000 Grangers by cattle with noma. Yea pass laws to muzzle doss because, one in ten thou sand gees mad, and yet mere people are killed by borns than by dogs. What the country needs is more moeley eows, and but ter, and cheese-makers, for Oregon is the land of milk and honey. J. W.. H. Oregon State Craaae.

Hre is what the Portland Similar I has to say in regard to the ganio of basa lal which was played there last Saturday be tween a Portland pickoii nine and the linn's, of Albany: The game of base ball which wa arranged a few das ago between the Linn club of Al bany, and a nine of this citv, took place yes terday, at the ground ou Eight street nesr Mr. Kichcr's residence, and resulted in a Waterloo defeat for the Portland nine. But five inning were played and th scare stood 29 to 2, in favor of the Allwuiy club. It is but justice to say that our loys were much younger than their competitors, that most of them had not played even a practice game this season, and that titer bad nerer practiced together at any time. They played badly all ths way through. The Allutny club is composed of mrn.ail experienced play, r in good practice. No remarkable plav ing was done on either side. We sinecreiy hope thst thi defeat will "stir up" the Port land boys. No oae doubts but that we have the finest players in the State, and it is a little galling to our prido, to have a niue from "up vender" come down and thwe us so badly. ' This begins to look a little liUo our boys would recoive a chllcuj;e from the metrr-po-lis before long, and so it would !c a gooil idea for theut to keep in trim. "Practice makes serfitct," boys, and dou't yen fillet it. Prttrna-lll's Dlrrrtarr. PetteniU ha published hit Xru-wptr Dittcforf for 1 73, and it shows not merely ; that his ksowltdgt of American yirwspnpers surpasses thit of all his contcmperaries, liut also that there is a n:e thud of ettai'lint; every man who po:ies a crpy of th book to utilise that knowledge pi-olitably.

I.ste Friday evening Fred Cooper started to Corrallis in a carriage with a Mj. Dotttrh laa, and jist as they arrived at the ferry the team scared at a pile of shingles and turned so quick as to cause the buggy to upset Both gentlemen were thrown violently to tho ground and, received severe, but not serious bruises. Tie horses very soon recovered from their scare snd did not damage any. thing very bsdly. Friday morning a team belonging to to Mr.. Hyde ran away just after they had been unhitched from a waon. They came tearing up First street like "greased light ning" and ran against Ed. Bantu's sign aud tore it down. Somebedy got hold of both lines and held n until he had been dragged qnito a distance and lost considerable dry goods. Ed. Carter them got hold of one of the line and rua them around in a circle un til they were fintlly tsiught. The old gen tleman who was knocked down and rsn over by the team was cot hart at alL Msrc Base Ball. A ahorfc time since tho Monmouth bust) ball club rent a challenge to the Linn's of this city, for a. single game, but our boy could not accept it at that time, on account of other engagament. Yesterday they wrot to the Monmoutbs that they whould play them "two bst in three," cad commence next Saturday if convenient. As the Mon mouth club isssed the challenge, tho lirst game will be played in this city. Ravages el Scarlet Fever. Throa additional deaths from the scarlet fever occurred at Sweet Home last Tuesday two of Ed. Abbott's children and Esther Eckerman, oldest, daughter of Hiram Ecker rcsll, who buried three children only last week. Others ara dewn with the wtuu fa tal maladv. ' - . (40, o. r.

The committee who have the ease of the injured tireman, Logan, in charge, to-day called on Ikictor Plummc-r at his uthce, corner of First aad Salmon streets, and requested bis bill for service rendered, lie very po litely replied that fur such medicines aad services he neither wanted cr expected pay ment, as he freely gave tbem to all who would be injured in tbe discharge of their duties ss firemen. Such commeudsble action as this is indeed worthy of special mention ice. It made ns feci proud when we road the above for the rt-sion that Dr. Pluuimer hails from our own little city. He was well liked when he lived here, and the above item shows that the people of the metropolis arc beginning te appreciate him. Mrrlt.rloa Meatiest. The Linn Base Ball Club are loud in their praises of Mr. Aaron E. Cohen, formerly a member of ths club, who acted as nmpira in the match at Portland yesterday. He was very fair and impartial, aad no one could have been selected who would have given better satisfaction. Our boys are under special obligations to him for causing the or. ganixation of the picked nine in the first pis-, and also fur furnishing a coach for thir con veyance to and from the' grounds. By bi kindness ho has made many friends up hr-.t who will never lose an opportunity o show -ing their regard for him, A Hevere tall. Yesterday forenoon Mr. Win. Ralston met with a saver accident which will have the effect of laying him up for a few days. Some workmen wcro repairing the roof of bis dwelling, and in geing up to see th work he lost hi footing aud fell to the ground, go ing through the veranda on his way down. Ho wa stunned so that he had to bo carried into the house, but an examination ' fails to show any severe bruiaes, though ho ia injured to some extent in the small of the back. Mr. t vrN Besigaa. On the day tho Stale Grange adjourned, Win. Cyrus, tho Master, stated that he would bo unable to scrr during tho ensuing year, and conacquectly tendered his resigna tion. Tho Grange then proceeded to the elec tion of a person to fill the vacancy, which re sulted in the choice of A. B. Shipley, of Clackamas. It ia to be regretted that Mr. Cyrus was compelled to resign as the affaire of that Order has prospered greatly under his administration. . Take Tkem Heme. Two young men from Salem, one of e '.cm has beon engaged in the sewing machine business for a few weeks, created a great dal of comment among our citzens yester day afternoon by riding around our streets in company with one of the demi ,rund;. Our community has no use for any such persons, and their friends, if they have any, will do well to-take them home.
