In such districts growers will ah"ys find that the product which pays best is a sound Merino, long enough for combing purposes says the San Fran cisco lii.'llttin. The question of shipping greasy wool or washed wool dejiends on the growei's facilities for preparing it. If soap boused, one should avoid crude alkali, or any soda which miiiht, with hot Water, render the wol harsh or ruin the sparkle. Sim. j,le cold water, unless used immedi ately after shi-aring, is apt to set the yolk, and so lessfau the irarket value of the woo!. Tpaitlal washing sometimes givenj k;s and creeks before shearing, islfarih little. It sheep Iimvc been well washed before shearing, dust must, be avoided. When wools are to be washed after sheaiing it will he found that the coarser grades are apt to hecoine tangled in the scouring machine, and this lessens their value. In the case of superior fiocks of fine wool sheep i he proper appliances for thorough washing should he procured, and will soon pay tor themselves. A special circular recently issued for New Zealand farmers, after dis-cu-sing the above points, remarks thai laoiW wool should he more generally shorn than it is, hut that local conditions must determine wheilu r or not it is profitable; also that it should he shinned in the grease, rat Ik'I' than washed or scoured as it can he workoJl better when in the srrcase. and so br'nes a hiyher price. As regards si oannir, second cuts by the oje-ratois should not he allow ed, as that I i.j 'i rt-s llie staple. 1 lece and locks should he kept separate from the rest of the fleec-. J5lack wool should he vut ill a separate h .lc, or i!' there he not sBtJicia-nt to fill a whole bal", pack a portion, and mark it "part Idack." Fleeces which show burs or seeds, or are broken, should le separated from some fl.eces. The hales shouLl all b one keil from one einl. 1 he nv-ces after being lagged and carefully looked over should tic folded or rolled, but should, under no circlim stances, he lied whti string, as this is said to cause trouble in many cases to the manufacturers, small portions rrsehios the machim ry, and being tn-xt to impossible to separate be fore the wool is fairly made into cloth. Concerning the best classification ot wooN, the leading distinctions are those bet ween fine crossbred for the Cotswools and Southdowns; and be tween combing wools and clothing wools for Merinos. Wheat and other Grain Stored on the best of Terms by -AT- Corvallis and Booneville. SAnKS fhrnisheiTto patrons. i ta-bilu tfio nnnulstlinn has not increas- Farmers will do well to call on me before making arrangements elsewhe d thap 40 per cept. So Ah& consumption has beat out the increase of population five-fold. It if evident that the increase here is due not only to increase of popnla tion, but to the increase of that por tion of it using wheat as food, and also to a larger consumption per head by those using it. Therefore there need be no fear that we will ever be able to produce more wheat than the world consumes. The ex tension of the culture in California, Oregon or Washington Territory, or the Great North west is not to be dreaded. It is true that wheat may be a good deal cheaper than it is now, but this indicates plenlly and in creases the number of consumes. The old and worn oat lands will be left to run fallow, or then owners a ih have to use fertilizers and keep up the quality of production. With an increased production we need have no fear that lower prices will not pay. With an increase of 60 per cent, a reduction of one-third in price would pay, allowing a mar gin for the cost of fertilizers. The more wheat we can produce and the greater care we can take in tl-e cul ture of our land the belter. Tli?n i he 1'iisgivinsrs that have found ut terances through the press and at meetings of farmers w ill . have no place. YliiLETS FOR PROFIT. WHEAT COlfSl'flPTIOS A";D PRODECTlOtf. The. San Francisco Journal of Commerce on the wheat situation says: There are many facts that may be drawn from an analysis ot the situation which proves that there is nothing to he feared by farmers from an increase in the wheat pro duction of the world. There are enough mouths to consume all thai can be raised for many years. The New York C "nmercial Bulletin says that Fiance has increased her acre age 16 per cent, since 1885, hat is in twenty years. While the yield per acre has also increased. Prussia has increased the outcome of her cereal crops ,from 102,000,000 bushels in 1841 to 4G5;000,000 bushels in 1879, or from 6 bushels to 18 hiirhels per head. The same journal says that the Russian Empire has increased its exports from 010,000 tons in 1866 to 6,150,000 tons iiL 1878. In 42 years the average yield in Austro-Ilungary has increased from 12 husl-.els pel acre to 15 bushels per acre in 1876 and more to day. Besides this there has been a great increase in the im ports of some of these countries, France for instance, and on the whole it appears that the consumption of these countries has more thau doifbled daring the past halt century. Ii is reported, on what appears to he good horticultural authority, that the ravages of a microscopic irsect in the violet fields of Southern France, threatens the entire destruction of that profitable industry. If this be so, an acre, and eyen ten acre violet farms may soon become a California institution. Wideawake horticultur ists have known for some time that it was worth while to keep an eye on the course of events in Southern France, for the occupations which now prove lucrative there, may, ere htttg, from exhaustion of the soil and development of" new diseases, cease to do so, and w ill like viticulture, be eoii.e a possible heritage tor the Pa eif c Coast. Where is the capitalist who will carefully tes". possibilities of soil and elimate here for the commer cial growth of flowers, and the man ufacture of pure perfumes for the world's market? There need not be loo many kinds tried at once ; the violet, the rose, the bitter orange, the acacia, the jasmine, ara all desirable and profitable if lightly grown and used. lint, even in some seasons the bees find scant honey even in the whit sage, so in some seasons, even i,n the best of flower land, the blossoms have i-oiiiparatively little fragrance. Some years, however, the pertntne is belter than usual. A flower farm is beaut if ul to look upon, and gives- em ployment to a larger number of wo rn, n and children per acre cultivated, than does almost any other bran h of horticulture. 1 Rich Red Gravel Cla'm. Among the many valuable mines of Butte county is John IIupp's red gravel hydraulic c aim of 160 acres, held under patent from the United States Government. This claim was located in 1871, and purchased by the present owner in 1872, who has worked it, when water was obtaina ble, ever since. A ditch having a capacity of from 600 to 700 inches has been constructed from the mine to Middle Butte Creek, which sup plies water for a few months tvery year, sufficient for hydraiiiicing. For a length of eighty feet an exposure has been made along the gravel de posit shotting a depth of from eighty to 125 feet of paying gravel. A good dump of a perpendicular height of near 500 feet enables the impounding of tailing, which are carefully stored for future washings the bottom stratum being so hard as to require exposure to air, which slacks it and frees the gold carried off in the lumps which unavoidably go off at the first time of washing. The past season but thirty-two days water was had, which never exceeded in volume more than 400 inches, and the owner cleaned up from the flumes .$1,790. lie employed about five men. A large proportion of the gold yet re Attains in the pit, oa the bedrock, that having not yet been cleaned up, while at the second washing of the impounded tailings the yield is often as much as the first. Mr. Hupp was iu town the fore part of the week and exhibited to us a nugget ot two ounces weight which he recently picked op in the claim. He has re fused an offer of $64,000 for the mine. Oroville Mercury. DISTBCSMX; ACCIBEXT. TITO Hen Badly Injnrrd by Ammonia at the Portland Ice Works. A serious accident occurred at the Portland Ice Works recently where by Mr. J. Zumwalt, who has been employed by the company for the past nine years, and his son Otto, were severely injured. They had lumped the ammonia, which is used in freezing the ice, into a reservoir in order to examine the valves of the pump, but forgot to turn off the cock which was situated between the res ervoir and pump. Tho moment the pump valve was loosened the amonia which was then in a liquid state and under a pressure of about fifteen pounds to the square inch, hK-w it out and a stream was forced out through a two-inch aperatus striking Mr. Zumwalt in the breast and splashinj-in his face and r-yes, burn ing him fearfully 2ad causing the most excruciating torture. His son Otto who was standing near also re- ca ceived some of the jjowerful liquid in liis face, and both inhaled the stifling fumes. Mr. Salmon, who was near by, shouted to them to run to the water which they did and obtained temporary relief, The young man was taken to Plummer & Byerley's drug store where his injuries were attended to. His father was taken home, and it was feared that his eye sight was destroyed. a a a THE PROPOSED SHORT TOIACE The scheme for constructinj a rail way across Newfoundland as a lik in a system of swift transportation between New York and Europe has been indorsed by the Assembly of that Province. By making the ocean voyage as short as posr-ible, selecting points on the east coast of New foundland and the west of Ireland, and thus re luciug the voyage to 1,- 700 miles and establishing connec tion with fast express trains on both sides of the Atlantic it is proposed to effect a saving of time between London and New York amountirg to forty eight hours. The syndicate intend to do things on a large scale, employing ten steamships for the ocean traffic, and anticipate a monop oly of mail carrying, and conveying 200,000 passengers annually. In or der to secure the advantages accru insr from the diversion of this traffic from its present channels to the New f'oundland route, the Government has been lavish in its concessions to the enterprise. It has gi anted 5,000 acres ot selected land for every mih of railroad constructed, with a com plele monopoly for lorty-five years, and im nnniiy from taxation on nil railway material 'during that time. An annual subsidy or the indorse ment of bonds to the extent of $3,- 000,000 is also in contemplation and will depend on the verdict of the elec tors in the contest which takes place iu the fall. Intact, the island has been placet at the disposal of the Syndicate almost as completely as the Northwest has been handed over to the Canadian Pacific Toronto Globe, May 10th. , i Carrect Definition of A Contingent Fee. A citizeu had occasion to cunsult a lawyer regarding a suit which he con templated instituing, but of the defi nite outcome of which he was in doubt. He did r.ot wish pay a re tainer f e, Oecause he was uncertain of winning. The attorney said he would accent a eontinsrent fee. The party met Mr. Bnrleih some time afterward and asked him the denni tion ol a contingent fee. "A contin gent fee, " jocosely said Mr Burleigh " is this: If a lawyer loses the case he gets nothing; if he wins, you get nothing." "But," said the perplexed party, scratching bis bead, rtI can't sav that I esaetly comprehend you." "I thought I was quite char," said Mr. Burleigh who repeated what he had said. "But it seems that 1 dout get anything io fitHr event," said the Rates of A-dvertisingT MAtiE KNOWN ON man, when his intellect had fullv grasped the situation. "Well, that is about the Size of a contingent fee," replied Mr. Burleigh, terminating the' conversation. Detroit rree ifress. CIKLS SHOULD Ul A KNOWLEDGE OF HOUKEKEEPIie. By all means let this g rrs learn how to cook. What? right has a girt to marry and go .into a house of her own unless she knows how torsuper- i n tend every branch of housekeeping,- and she cannot properly superintend unless she has Some" practical knowl edge herself. Most men marry with out thinking whether the woman ot his choice is capable ot cooking hinv a meal, and it is a pity he is so short-' sighted, as his health, his" cheerful ness, and indeed his success in- life depends in a very great degree upon' the kind of food he eats: iu fact the whole household is influenced? by their diet. Feed them on tried cakes, Iried meats, hot bread and other in digestible viands, day after day, and they will need medicine to make them Wei. A man will take alcohol1' to counteract the evil eft". -eta of such fooi, and the wife and children must be 'physieed .

The Chattanooga Commercial in Tenuesse says: Our Democratic brethren are "all tore tip," onf thf, tariff question, in all parts of the country, some advocating extienv free trade, others want a protecti. tariff, whilst many are astride tl . fence, wailing to" see which witf b the winning side. In Congress, . few days ago, Mr. Hes-ilt, of Ala bama, coming from a manufacturing district in the North part of the State, earnestly supported the tariff com mission bill, staling thai he' wanted protection for the infant manu fac luresof the South, and expressed theop'nion that one great cause of the failure of the Southern Confed eracy was the neglect of the States composing it to encourage the di development of their mining, and1 manufacturing resources. His col league, Mr. Herbert, from the same State, bitterly opposed tJttP bill,! and was in favor of a "tariff fer revenue only." Sojl goes.

Mr. Ayer, a lew days ago, sold" the Dennison' farm, near Mechanic ville, of 200 acres to F.
