The first need of the farmer is a sound! acre of land to jts be.t possible use. healthly body, strong and able to per form well the !ators that are required of him as a tiller of the soil, and as the prin cipal factor in this country of supplying 76,000,000 of people w ith the necessaries and luxuries of life, savs R. C. Trow bridge in New York Farmer. The farmer needs to be possessed of good judgement and a head w ith a large, active brain capacity to manage Ins farm ami business in the ma.t success ful manner. He also needs proper training, experience and education. A genuine farmer needs to be born and reared on the farm, for the experience of childhood and youth give him an ad vantage over those who do not begin farming till of m iture age. A farmer, to be a emcees, needs to love his farm, his work and bis home surroundings. If he delights in keeping stock, he should secure good stock that please him, and should take the best of care of them. A farmer needs a good wife to preside over and take charge of the household affairs ; one who is accustomed to farm life, and enjoys it ; one w ho cn make a genuine loaf of bread, w ho is indus trious and frugal, who will help him to preserve and care for what he produces. He also should see thtt the w ife has thing handy for her coinlort, and strive to make her happy in all her family relations. The first need of a young farmer start ing off in Hie is to respect himself, by being honest and true in his dealings w ith mankind. All farmers need to be men of moral worth, having a character for honesty above reproach, command ing the re? poet of every one, known as the true salt of the earth. The one gn-at need of farmers is money for the proper transaction of business, to purchase sttk, tools and machiuerv. to pay hired help, and for repairs on farm and building. Then.edofa young man of small means a would-be farmer is to hire to some goxl farmer for a term of rears, save his money till able to purchase a suitable far.n, rather than mortgage a farm and probably lose it in the end. Farmers need to build good houses in which they may live comfortably, and pass the summer and winter with their families. Farmers usually need Urge, commodious, well built barns in which to ftore hay and grain and house their stock, besides tlieJl and oulbciidil in w hich to store tools and machinery to protect and preserve them. The build ings should be so arranged as to be con venient and handy, forming windbreaks to protect stock while in the yard. Farmers as a class need pluck, energy and push to succeed in all the varions duties on the farm, being exposed to all kinds of weather sunshine and heat in snmmer, and the cold blasts of winter, which demand such qualities to save from discouragement. Farmers need to steer clear from the use of intoxicating liquors, that ruin the body and befog the brain, nnfittin? them to properly manage their business. A drunken man ia worthless in any place that you may put him. A farmer needs all his brains kept in perfect order to suc ceed well in his honorable calling. Farmers need the best of all around common sense of any class of people in the world, on account of the importance of their occupation. They need the re spect of all classes of society in striving to obtain an honest living by hard labor and by fee-ling the millions depending on them. Thus farmers are humanity's true friends; the great saviors from starvation, promoting comfort, health and happiness in this world, and saving life. A farmer needs a variety ot tools to work his land properly, and to till thoroughly and cultivate the soil accord ing to the most approved and improved methods to produce the best results He needs to learn to use these tools properly, to keep them in order, and house them when not in use. The farmer needs to study the nature of different soils and their best adapta tion for raising certain grasses, grains, seeds, fruits, berries, vegetables, etc., and should strive hard to turn every Farmers need plenty of fruit of good varieties for their families and to fur. nish for the markets. They should have well tilled vegetable gardens and flower gardens for w ifo and children. Many ignorant farmers are much in need of instruction which they might secure by reading our form pajrs, which treat on the different ways of fanning and of the liest methods; but they are f ) prejudiced against w hat they trm "hou farming" that they cannot be improved. They w ill not read to in form themselves if papers cost them nothing, and they are too stingy to pur chase. Such farmers are saving at the spigot aud wasting at the bung. You cannot make th ;m believe that some times for a few tents exended for papers will be saved to them by lesions learned from those w ho have had large experience. Fsrmers have need to attend the farmers' institutes that are being held for their benefit every winter in many States Much valuable knowledge can be gained from able and exi-erienced farmers, from instructive and educated lecturers, and troui teachings of our scientific men on the various matters pertaining to stock raising, daiiying fruit growing, tiib'ng the soil properly and all matters of interest to the farmer. Farm ers need all the know lede tbat can be gained from books that treat on farm ing, giving experience aud lessons from able men of the j-a.-t and present. Farmers need to be industrious, care ful and systematic in all their arrange ments, and should be modes of progress in all departments of farming, having the best farming tools aud machinery. Farmers need to appreciate the priv ileges tbey enjoy in oor Ameriea, the grander and best country in the world for'farrting purposes. Its treat extent, with nii'.l.ons of uncultivalol acres of rich hind ready to be occupied, with it great variety of climate, soil and pro ductions, its beautiful prairie soils, su perior to anything on earth for stock raising, for grains, fruits and vegetables AH these combined advantages will place our farmers conspicuously before us as the world's greatest producers and benefactors. Farmers need to organize and unite as one body to place men ia power and potition who will h-gis'ate for them and protect their interests. In times pat fariMKMjjave bten considered incapable of rualing laws or of executing them properly. They have Iven called mud s. lis, clodhoppers, hayseeds, etc., but their intelligence of today and their important position are caliing them out to take a hand in matters ef 1. violation. Farmers need all the help w can get from our farm papers that are being published for their special benelit, w here everything of importance in the farmer's line is discussed weekly by m-n of ex perience and intelligence, men scientific and educated, men w hose heads are filled with useful farm knowledge that farmers should know. A farmer needs that keen discrimina tion in planning for the future tbat is adquired by constant practice and ob servation through his past years, know ing that time and exj-rience are neces sary factors in developing and rounding out the capabilities of the genuine farm er. Yet people talk, and many suppose that almost any person who fails to suc ceed in any other business is good enough for a farmer, and may succeed and perhaps excel, in farming. Such an idea is false ; only taught by people who are ignorant of the needs of a farm er. Let us for a moment consider the fanners and stock raisers of our West ern States, who raise horses, cattle, sheep and swine, w heat, corn and wool, to supply not only our great Ameiica, but many other portions of the habit able globe. No other such class of strong, hardy, industrious, enterprising and valuable men can be found in the world, so necessary, so helpful, so re liable, so useful and indispensable as our farmers, who feed the world, and to whom America and many other nations should do homage as the strongest pil lars on the earth. j CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION Will Be Called by tfee Governor Be tween May 1 and June 5. "A special election for the purpose of choosing a congressman from the First District to fill the vacancy occasion I by the death of Thomas H. Tongue w ill be called between May 1 and June 15," said Governor Chamberlain on Sunday. In giving bis reason for calling the election at the time mentioned, th governor said : "A greater number of citizens w ill be able to vote at that time It is a season when the farmers can leave their work, and the roads, are good enough to allow them to get to the polling places without great inconveni ence." "The new congressman would not see much of a secial session of congress if one fdiould be called immediately follow -ing the present one," was suggest ed. "That is true." answered Mr. Cham berlain, "but it cannot be helped. Be tween May 1 and June 15 is the natural time for an election in Oregon, and it is the time I shall call this election for the present congressional term, expires in March, and it would be useless to elect a man to serve during the short time before this term expires. If a man ia to be elected for the coming term he can not take office before March 4, so it would be impossible for him to attend the present session. A special session, if it should be called, would adjourn be fore the summer months set in. I do not believe it is possible for a congress man to be elected in time to take hit place before the next regular session. it 1 cnould call an election now aome sections of the countrv would cot be represented stall in the vote. 1 want thia to be an election in which every citizen of the state can take part. At ttiw time the roads are bad in the country, and there are many gord citi zens from the country who could not take the trocble to go to polling places again, they are busy with tleir farming an l otlser wurk, and could hot well leave it. between May 1 and June 15 is the natural time for an election in thii state, and I do not tnink the rule should be chnr.ged in this case.

The Pacific Lumber Trade Journal say : The general land office has decided that any bona fide settlers may cut off and sell the timtier damaged by the for est fires of last September. The com missioner of the general land office has written the following opinion to a mem ber of the Washington legislature: "You are advised that a bona fide settler, who has established residence upon the land for the purpose of cultivating and im proving the same, and intending to make a ernianeiit home is permitted to apply the burned or dead timber to wards his support, and in making im provements upon the land whilo perfect ing title." The settler must have settled upon the land in good faith and entry of the land must have been made as soon ab possiblo after the plat of the survey was filed. It is not necessary to have a per mit to remove and disposo of burned timler under these conditions, and it is not necessary that tho settler be located upon surveyed land if he is otherw ise complying with the law.
