That excellent publication, the Coun
try Gentleman, contains m any valuable
and practical hints, especially for farmers.
In the last number we find the follow ing:
‘ ‘ Farmors see more o f minerals in their
native localities than any other class of
men. It is sometimes important for them
to distinguish such as are valuable. Many
yeays ago, in traveling through Central
Pennsylvania, we saw a farmer who was
drawing lim e fifty miies over a rough road
for building purposes. W e inquired why
he did not burn the limestone scattered
over his fields. He denied that there was
any limestone in that region. AVe called
for some strong vinegar, and pouring it on
the broken fragments of a stone, succeed
ed in convincing him by the effervcsence
which took place that plenty existed on
his own land. There are a few simple
tests by which any farmer may at once
know limestone from any other rock. The
first is to try its hardness with his pocket
knife. It may be cut with some difficulty
and a little practice in this way will ena
ble him to distinguish its peculiar degree
of hardness, although this will vary in
some degree with its purity. AVater lim e
stone and magnesian limestone are hard
er than that which is purer. Next, burn
a fragment in the fire, when it will soon
turn white, and if pure slack with heat
when a third of its bulk of water is pour
ed on. Generally a very ready way is to
pour on a small quantity of nitric or m u
riatic acid, the effervescence which takes
place in any form of carbonate of lim e,
whether it be chalk, marl, lim estone or
marble, being alike in character with all.
Magnesian limestone effervesces move
slow ly. There are some other minerals
which will effervesce, but i hey are rare.—
Sulphuric acid will not answer for this
experim ent, as it forms a crust ofsuiphaie
of lim e, through which the acid w ill not
penetrate, ami the effervescence soon
ceases. The Three tests—nam ely, the de
gree of hardness, the effervescence and
the burning to lime—are infallible distin
guishing characters. These m ay be learn
ed in a few minutes, and when learned
may save much labor and expense—as
would have been the case with the farm
er in Pennsylvania Whom we have just
m entioned.”
FROM OREGON.
W o take the following letter from the
Plattsburgh, Mo., L ev erei June 25, 1875.
It was written a short time after Mr. For-
see arrived in our city, and in the main is
a very fair and correct statem ent of m at
ters and things as he found them here; he
has made some slight mistakes as to dis
tances, which we will correct as we pass
along in the article.
B a k e r C ity 7, O r e g o n , June 11,1875.

I am sorry to know that you are
again in the land of grasshoppers; hope
they will leave time .enough for you to
raise a sufficiency to live on. AA’ e are troub
led with nothing o f the kind here; the
spring nas been rather backward in Eas
tern Oregon ; the prospect is better now for
warm weather. AA'e had a splendid rain
here this week, which is hurrying all
kinds of vegetation on. A’ egetables of dif
ferent kinds are being brought in daily
now, which bear good prices.
Baker City is situated in a beautiful val
ley, which is from 6 to 10 miles wide and
80 long. [The valley is from G to 30 miles
wide—average 18—and 45 long.—E d . D em
ocrat .].
Powder River passes through
this valley; it is a nice sfcrefim which af
fords plenty of w ater all the year. The
land in this valley is rich and can all be
cultivated; the river affords plenty of wa
ter for irrigating purposes. Good farmers
are needed very much here; [that’s a fact];
they can soon m ake fortunes in tiiis val
ley by proper management. Oats sell
here for two cents per pound, wheat from
1 to 1 cents, barley from 2 to 1 cents, [grain
ranges from 1 to 3 cents, according to sea
son, and hay, delivered, from 88 to $16.—
E d . D emocrat ]; bay from 32 to 16dollars
per ton; hogs, gross, from 6 to to 10 cents;
bacon, sides 25 cents; h am ,27 cents; [sides
from 13 to 25, ham 15 to 27. E d . D emocrat ] ;
beef, 6 to 15 cents; chickens 50 cents each;
eggs 50 cents per do?en ; butter 30 cents per
pound, and oilier things in proportion.
Land is cheap here; good farms can be bad
for from $15 io §30 per acre, owing to loca
tion. Government lands 81,23 per acre.
A ny man that will work can m ake a liv
ing here; it is the best poor m an’s coun
try I ever was in, AVages $2.50 per day in
gold; farm bands $10 per m onth. Gold
mines ore paying in m any diggings near
the citi7, wages there $4 per day. Wood is
plenty within 6 miies of the city and can
be had for nothing by hauling it yourself.
It sells for from $3 to $5per cord delivered;
it is ail pine. l ’ino lum ber is worth at the
m ills $12 per thousand, $15 delivered.—
[Lumber at the m ills ranges from $10 to
$20 per thousand and delivered $13 to $23—
E d . D e m .] This is tho best place I have
struck yet, and I will endeavor to get a
foothold here and locate .permanently. I
wish you were here; I am satisfied you
would like it better than in Missouri. You
could m ake a living with half the labor
you have there. The land is just as good,
and I think better; you can raise from 80
to 100 bushels of oats to the acre, 40 to GO
bushels of wheat, the same of barley, and
the finest vegetables grow here I ever
saw; beets grow to weigh .‘» p o u n d s each. I
never saw fine potatoes until I came here;
some of them weigh 4 lbs each; they are
white Neshanuocks. Times are said to be
dull hero just now7. I d o not think the
people of tiiis country know what hard
times are. M oney appears to be plenty7;
all gold and silver; paper m oney is only
bought and sold. Hands scarce; Joe Coff
man and Fred Rogers have been working
ever since they arrived, at $2,50 per day,
m ixing mortar and carrying the hod. A n y
one that w ill work can always find em
ploym ent at good wages. Theo. has been
working a little for the Coffmans; they
think of building them a house soon. Air.
Rogers has a jo b for Charley, sprinkling
Main street at $100 per m onth, which he
will com m ence next week, «end all pa
pers and letters to me at this place for the
present and until I advise otherwise.—
Should any of our Clinton farmers becom e
dissatisfied there, tell them to try this
valley, and I am satisfied they will do
well; all they have to do is to work and
take care o f what they raise,, watch after
their stock. Plenty of range here and al
ways will be in the mountains. Mechan
ics make from $5 to $15 per day here. If
there are any items in this scribble that
your editors wish, they are perfectly w el
com e to them. I can assure them that
there is nothing herein contained that is
not true. Best wishes to yourself and
fam ily and all enquiring friends.

W hile the balance of the Democratic pa
pers i” the State, and especially those west
of the Cascade mountains, have had con
siderable to say in relation to w ho should
bo the candidate and in relation to his an-
ticedents and qualifications, we have
said nothing for or against any man
who is a candidate for the position of Con
gressman. W e believed and still think the
people should be left free from prejudice
to act in their primary meetings, and then
the delegates sent by them to their county
conventions do not go there as the slaves
of any man or ring, but as free men, who
do not wear a collar, and are free to act for
the good of the party—this is democratic,
and will keep down all bickerings, strife
and heart burnings, and will lead our par
ty to success and victory. W e have no fa
vorite candidate, present com pany except
ed, among all who have been mentioned a s .
candidates, and we are not over strenious
about locality, but believe that, for the
good of the party and in ju stice to this
portion of the State, the candidate should
be taken from Eastern Oregon. Both the
United States Senators and all the State
Officers, except Treasurer, (and that made
worthless by the action o f politicians o f
Western Oregon), are held west of the
Cascade mountains—that portion of the
Stato seem to act upon the principle of
selfishness—they hog it all—and appear to
think, as they have the power, that they
can ignore our rights and that wo, like
whipped Spaniels yvii 1 lick the hand that
smites us, and continue to give our usual
democratic majorities when the election
takes place. This has been the case here

At the time Lee Stewart was killed in a
First-street saloon we were given his his-
tary, coming, as we supposed, from au
thentic sources. In it we stated that he
had been in the Confederate arm y and
had fought under Quantrell, the raider.—
Last evening Coroner W etmore received a
letter from his m other, Mrs. Elizabeth
Stewart, of Independence, Mo., giving his
true history. At the outbreak o f the re
bellion iris father, who was a minister
and a Union man, was murdered in cold
blood by a band of rebel cut-throats, he
being the first man killed in that county.
Lee was so incensed at this that lie at
once joined the Missouri State Militia,
where he fought nobly during iris time.—
Upon being mustered out lie at once en
listed in the Sixth Kansas Cavalry, where
he was promoted to a Lieutenancy for his
bravery. In 1865 he was mustered out of
service, and began a reckless career which
ended in death. The cause of his m ad

Speaking of the excellent crop prospects
in the South and the evidence of the return
of prosperity to that section, tlie St. Joseph
Gazette says: The people plant less, but
cullivate their crops more carefully and
thoroughly. Nor is this all; but being no
longer content with cotton or cane, they are
cultivating grain crops more extensively and
are therefore becoming every year less
dependent upon other sections for the abso
lute necessities of life. The people of the
Southern Stales begin
to realize that
Radicalism will no longer be permitted to

Phil. Sheridan’s occupation is gone. The
time is near at hand when the last carpetbag

how many eggs here are in the ovary of a
hen. To determine this, a German naturalist
a short time since instituted some careful in
vestigations, the result of which showed the
ovary of a heu to contain about 600 embryo
eggs. He also found that some 20 of these
are matured the first year, about 120 during
the second year, 135 during the third, 144 du
ring the tourth, and during the fifth, sixth,
seventh and eighth years, the number de
creases by twenty annually; it consequently
follows that after the fourth, or the most
the fifth year, hens are no longer profitable
as layers,' unless it may be in an exceptional
instance.

tho woman is supposed to be in possession of
