This mode of doing business is not very honorable to the Company, as it looks much as if the Gentlemen were trymg.to make mon ey off of the generosity of the friends, of the patrons of the cx nrosa pnrrmanv. As the railroad J-.VWW X company has located a telegraph of iice at this place the expense of an express office here would be compar atively light. W. D. Fittenger o this place has generously offered to keep an office for the express com pany in his store for nothing if the company will locate an oflice in tne town. It has been the policy Wells, Fargo & Co., we believe, to establish offices for the accommoda tion of the public even where tliey do not pay, in order to shut out competition, and because such a policy tends to increase their busi ness," and so profits them in the long run.

It is known that the annual swarms of grasshoppers are produced from c"s laid by preceding swarms. "iTrkw tr lpstrov these ecrrrs was the problem that a Congressional com initee appointed for the purpose and the farmars could not solve, altho' several States offered large rewards for an antidote. Now the telegraph ic dispatches state that a bug has appeared which is fast destroying the grasshopper eggs. Here is Inarint.inn of this bucr of salvation: It is of a deep red color, almost the size of a flea, or rather of a louse, re sembling the latter somewhat in shape and movements. It seeks for the egg deposits and having found them never leaves off eating until ev ery egg is consumed. Great joy prevails among the farmers of Min nesota at this discovery, and many who had made up their minds to sow no wheat, are now taking heart leaves it. Though thi3 practice seems to be sustained by an argu ment of necessity, we cannot regard it otherwise than extravagant and wasteful, and profligate in the ex treme. This may seem like strong language to the farmer who is in the babit of placing the torch to his straw piles each year to get them out of the way of the plow which turns up the stubble for the sue vear: but let the VVfVUtUQ w Wheat is selling at Eugene and Salem at GO cts.

STATE NEWS The Walla WalhwSVatommn gives the following as the experience of a man in sheep raising: In 1874 he bought 800 head of sheep. From this fljck he sold the first year's wool to tha amount of $800, and had 500 lambs. In 1875 his wool clip netted him $1,200. and he ha I GJ0 lambs. For farmer set himself down and make a the prosenk year wooi ci;p at the low figures that now rule, will give the value of a ton of straw for stock feed, and then multiply the figure represent ing this value by the numbar of tons he burns each year, and he will find that the destruction of his straw in him $1,500, and he has 975 lambs. During this period he has improved his stock by the introduction of thoroughbred rams, and ha3 so work ed up his stock that he is now offered a few years will represent a pretty at the ratj of 2 each for hu lambs large sum on the loss side of his far- Ffom fais originai investment in 800 niing accounts.

We think who wish to discuss the subject at the practice of burning straw is prof- ronenmiMA lAno-th. H.atfi in the extreme, aaa iarmers who continue it will, in the end come to the same conclusion. Bu straw has a value to the farmer in addition to its value as stock feed which alone prevent him from burn insr it. It has a value as a fertilizer as a manure and the day will soon come when the farmers will rue the practice they are now indulging in of burning straw to get it out of the Messrs. Frazer Hacket, of Umatilla county, lost k head of splendid sheep out of a band of over 3,000 last month by a bear finding his way into the corral and causing a stampede, by which the above number were suffocated. The corral was on the side of a hill and the sheep tried to escape on the lower side: in duiug so they piled up six or eight thick; hence the loss.
