Agricultural Products, We live in a country, oxpiceally fitted bv nature (or the homo of man and his domestic animals. Nature produces abundantly in its wild state, grasses, timber and berries and fruila alonij tlio entire Pacific Slope. We tlnd here Brow ing indigenous to the noil, cheat, wild onts, wild plums, rosebushes black berries, raspberries, strawberries, cur rants, gooseberries, celery, rhubarb and u great variety of plants; all in an abso lutely wild state, and they have probab ly ho continued to grow for thousands of years. Mere, written in nature's great book, for the education of man, is the agriculturist's lesson. Let man study the laws of nature; follow the rules written on every leaf uud branch, and apply these rules according to the in telligence Uod gave him, and vast, in deed, will be the advancement in all the vegetable and nnimal kingdom. The magnificent thoroughbred, with his sjieed, courage and endurance; the hiu derous draught borne, with Ins ton of weigl.t, his brawn anil muscle; the lightning trotter, drawing a man and sulky at a 2:01 gait, are all results of cultivation. They all sprang from a common ancestry, a little, long-hnired hort-o no larger than a ehevJierd dog. iireeding, environment and culture, through long peiiods of time, in a di rect, hcientific line, have produced pres ent results. ( heat and foxtail are the generally accepted ancestors of wheat and barley. The great "Shadoland Wonder," pre eminently the king of all oats, is the re sult attained by a careful cultivation and selection from a little, wild, black, bearded out still found in its wild state, in Spain and Mexico. From the wild plum, growing all over the Pacific C oast, and found in most of the south ern and western states, have been culti vated all our valuable plums and prunes of today. The Italian prune, in all his regal glory, traces his ancestry, ill an unbroken line, to the little, wild plum, and it is no mean parentage. Tlio royal Nouton Pippin and tho ipieenly, blushing Spitzenl erg aro di rect, lineal descendants of the little, much admired and much hated wild rose briar, developed, improved, trans planted, nurtured and cultivated. ino rescniuianco oi tlio wild rose sred-pod to some of tho smaller varieties of apples is still quite striking. In it not thou jiossihle to attain yet higher results? Is there no higher do greo of perfection? In tho year 1S70 there was one horso in all the world able to trot a mile in two minutes and seven teen seconds. Today there are thou Hands that can do a mile in L' : 1(1, ami hundreds between 2:10 and 2:02 ihirty years ago a horse weighing 1800 lbs. was a wonder; today we have thou sands weighing over 2000 lbs. Who will say that in another hundred years horses weighing two tons will not bo common? Have wo reached the highest jmssiblo limit in agriculture? I'nquestionably every species of grain mav bo impioveil, and that again improved, until every producing element in the soil, tho air, and the moisture is utilized. Ily a care fuUnd scientilicfXK'iimentinglt may be losfliblo to so feed a plant that its fruits will lie multiplied nianv fold. Who can say that in a hundred generations it is not K)Fsilile to pr nluco a species of wheat with a kernal 6 or 10 times as largo and twice as numerous in tho or dinary, or corn producing an ear two feet lung? This can 1h done, if at all by a careful selection of the titteet and bestowing upon it every season tho greatest care, ascer taining and supplying its wants in the fullest sense. In other words "feed it." find out from observation and experi ment what element of soil the plant re quires, and if the soil is at all delicien in tins element, supply it. Select from this cultured plant tho fullest, health lost seeds and plant again, and again for ears and by all the laws of nature the plant should respond by an im provement both in quantity and quality. It ion can produce wheat from cheat, yon can jut iu surely produce a bette grade of wheat from wheat. Always breed up, always mltivato, always mi proxe.

Kdltor I'l.uniibalek: Concerning an enactment of tho lato legislature where the tax on marriage was increased, I hereby write to agree that n feo for a license to marry is a tax on virtue. To treat tlio subject further, and in scientilic light, let us sny that a license to nitirry implies that marrlago l un necessary, or that it is a. crime. A li cence to marry is a precedent to bo tol lowed until the tax is increased, "all the traffic will bear." Marriago is not only a natural function, but is a social necessity. It is a human iclationship, a binding together. It bears a vital re lation that adds value, and furnishes a living necessity and is begotten by a civilization that gives the cixihzation utility. Marriage should be encouraged. Full erton & Richardson DRUGGISTS We want your telephone and mail ordor business.

I He complimented the wuumu'a club ofrreeport which erected tho tnon-1 uiuent.

It is iconoclast r'f prostitution, and in stead of maltliu'iaiiim sexual produc tion m shodM be considered, is not only a private title but a title to hitman wealth- The deprivation of marriage by a heavy tax caues a shrinkage of tlw ."octal state, anil enfmirages p.Trniiocuity among the sexe, or foster prostitution It would lie advantageous to the ttate that it give a liberal bounty on marriage than to impoe a tax. lAa and mai risgo is an equal convenience of human existance and continuance, and the legi- mate union of sex in sultlciencv and purity is the moral relationship between the individual and society, and liecomes the noima of moral law. The rise of the individual relationship of sex is the cen tral feature of social proires, while promiscuity of the sexes, and prostitu tion is a harbinger of social decadence. In fine n tax on virtut is a change from social cosmos to social choas. Jam hi In-m.is. Looking Glase, Ore. Not ce.
