So far we have had a remarkably fa. vorable year for all farming operations, iu Western Oregon, and work is far ahead of ordinary years. Thoso who wish to make a comparison of other cquntries with this, enn judge of the difference when we tell them that the fall was favorable for putting in wheat and all fields sown in October, Novem ber and December Lave the best possi- ble.npiearaiice ..end Lava made ..cood Xr-m,W . mgy.T'-. j .. t . W"2pJ5SlSE deal of ground has bei-n lurntt urnetl oytr'i and Spring1 sowing has concluded 'on all high lying land, and is in full prog less on the prairies where April is oftPii too wet to allow plowing and .seeding. So .far there has been little rain in April, but enough to keep everything growing finely. Grass is well grown and it was necessary to cut the lawns here in Portland on the first of April, at the time when on even lower lati tudes than this east of. the, Rocky mountains the country was covered with snow and locked with frost. The dispatches daily tell us -of snow and storms, while for almost a month we havo had delightful Springtime, flowers in bloom, maples in bloom and leaf, lilacs building forth and our yards green with grass that was too luxur iant. There is promise for an extraor dinary crop of grain, gardens are in early, fruit promises to yield very abundantly and we feel rather sorry for people at the East who imagine the Oregon rainy season to be horrid, and plunge about in slush and snow and encounter fearful blizzards while we are making garden and rejoice in the ire.-tncc of grain fields mid fragrant bloom. Eight years ago, this March, wn left New York and went up the Hudson river road whilo loaded teams were crossing on the ice at PougliRepsie; we found the t alleys of central New York snqwed in under fearful drifts; along the lakes it was bitter cold and Chica- go was ' bleak as winter. Across the Mississippi the same condition of things; the oierra Nevada route heavy with .snow, and then the train went curving and whirling down the West ern .slope of the Sierras to find the Sac ramento valley dressed in Emetahl and rich with a wonderful bloom a very Eden, and when we got home tho Wil lamette had the same aspect. For a month past no fire lias been needed much of tho time and the latter half of March would compare favorably with an eastern May, but our March just past we confess was more than commonly agreeable.

Waie, of Column, lias planted on Lis Cortina farm, now, some 300 acres of cotton and is continuing the work, lie will have, in all, sonio 500 acres. This is one of the most important moves ever made in this county. The interminable wheat crop must be var ied by some other industry. Mr. Wart hesitated between cotton mid .sorghum. From his investigation of the subject lie is satisfied that soigliuin will pay, and he says ns he is trying the cotiint he hopes some other large laud cwner will try the other.

Introduction of Turkeys. The tukey w;as brought to England, says a writer in an English paper, iu the ear ly part of the sixteenth century by William Strickland, lieutenant to Se bastian Cabot. Since that time it has been acclimatized iu most parts of the world; hut the domestic bird contrary to the usual rule, has degenerated in size, flavor and beauty. The flush of the wild turkey, it may not be known, is more .pleasant like than that of the domestic varieties of the bird.

The trouble is, nono of our young women are willing; to become poor men's wives professedly, even though they may be so in reality. The girl who marries upon SI, 000 a year looks forward ton lif spent in second-rate boarding houses, from which she will squeeze out n certain cheap domesticity und. some expensive pleasures. The children which Heavriu may send ai not thought of nor jirojided-for.'s-It.is self a.wholt'j.on.umea. of .victuals. iSh married for freedom, to have a good , - T. time, to spend money which she neith er earns, nor helps to earn tor Heaven knows that but certainly not to nmke. a comfortable, if humble, home for her husband. Iu this respect wo consider the. British girl has an im mense advantage over tho American. From the highest to the lowest circles of society in Britain, girls are trained tc make good and useful wives, inas much as ladies preside over the depart ineiitM of their household and see that every thing is kept.clean, and the food is well cooked; so also in the lower classes mothers teach their daughters to do the samo for themselves, with out suffering any loss of dignity in the doing of it. Manv of our American iris will be surprised to learn that tho Princess Louise frequently makes her pastry, and makes it well, too. On one occasion, some apricot tarts of her making being praised by a guest, tho royal lady wiote out the recipe, with the words underlined, "If you desiry to have an apricot tart properly cooked, always make it with an upper crust." The story- has a point, and tho point is that ono can never know how to do a thing too well. One of the great hindrances against getting a good wife arises from the false basis upon which society is constructed. . The idea that equality is the peculiar birthright of all jiuiencans is erroneous. ""Wnere-' every person thinks he or she is as good as the next, there is always the oppo site proof of incompetency. A person U neither better nor worse than an other except in tho degree of worth which is honestly sought to be attained. But the dispositions of young women of the present day, (and the sam,e may be raid largely of young men, though perhaps not to the same extent) is to think they arc as good as any one else, without taking the trouble to be so. From this erroneous belief arises many of the evils from which society suf fers. Kingston Freeman. ' , .

A Christian "What are you doing there" calmly asked an elderly and pious-looking skater of a young man who had fallen on the ice and rubbing liis thigh with considerable energy. "Doing!" ho exclaimed, pressing his jaws together to keep back a volley of protanity, "I am trying to he a Chris tian." Brooklyn Eagle. Some arithmetical chap has figured out that Vanderhilt's income would allow him to visit 8,000 circuses, eat 10,000 pints of peanuts and drink 5,000 glasses of lemonade every day in tho year. But he doesn't do it. Thus it can be seen that wealth is given to those who don'tknow how to enjoy it. , Boston Post. xS - . C'T- -' .A -x- s r -4S --- V vs
