THE FARMING MAN, nviQmiti.Miif . Somebody somewhere at some time wrote "Almost any man can run a hotol,n fai m or a nows paper," meaning, we suppose, that in those three vocations brains did not count for much. Of course the subject thus flippantly slated is far from the truth. But it goes to show that some people, at least, consider that hotels, farms and news papers can be practical!' left to run themselves. As to hotels we have at various times during our livei? come to the conclusion that the lard lord then entertaining us had si 'ghtly missed his colling and that he ought be gathering soap-fat or digging postholes in plno of running, or at tempting to run, a hotel. And we have quite frequently seen men conducting news pnpeis who would out a -better figure and mow a wider swath if they were grubbing brush or wheeling cinders. But when it comes to farming it is a lamentable fact that a great many people think the business is. hardly worthy of dignifying as an occupation. There is a wide belief, particu larly among chy dwellers, that farming is only a lower species of unskil ed labor, and that the farmers as a rule are thoe who have failed at everything else they have undertaken and have finally resorted to farming as a kind of final calamity in their career. - There aro of course excep tions to this, but there is no denying the fact that the farmer the tiller of the soil has iong been looked upon as a person of a low order of intel ligence, unfit for any other occupation or calling, and that, they have simply taken tip farm work as a last resort. Here ?s the Statute:, Whoever drives or over louds drives when over loaded over works, tortures, torments, de prives of necessary sustenance, cruelly beats, mutilates or cru elly ldlls, or causes or p1 ro cures to be so over driven or over loaded, over worked, any animal etc., shall be punished by m prisonment in the county jail for a period cf not less than three montho or more than one year A OIiOSE OALL.

To the Editor of the Pioneer: Thinking a few straws from Hay stack sunlit oe palatable to your many renders theft; stormy dnyu, I will send you u few sheaves. Miss Ciusio Bant a is having tjuite a siege of typhoid levjr, hut hhe is re ported to be some better today. The Red Rod. Literary Society and the Opal Prairie Literary Society are to have a foint debate some Urn' ic tiie sweet bye-and-bye. The Fair View Sunday school meets every Sunday at 10.30 a. ru. and they are liaving a good attendance. O. II. Belknap is fuperinleiideiit. G. B Danta has been quite poorly for the past few days. Mrs. J. C. Wilson has been very Pick for a 1'iig time, hut she is reported to be convalescing. Dave Barnett s iys that all of the old batchelni'8 from Havetaok to the John We all know how iar Irom Day wants to oomo to his house. the truth these ideas and opin ions are, bnt there are not many who will admit that there is no occupation under the sun where knowledge counts for more, or can be made to count for more, than on the farm. And the sucessful farmer of today and of the future will be the one who has been educated as a farmer. The coming farmer who ex pects to lead the van will have to be well versed ip chemistry, and botanr. He must be able to analyze soils and know the whys and hows of plant life. He must not overlook hydraulics i not kut,w'u' and civil engineering and must m"s Emma p,ke ,8 llv,n" " htir . , . , i . u r! homestead now and several old batch- at least know when a job of( , . ,. . .... , . . v ' elots around here would like to lie em- carpentering, blacksmith Ulg, or ; voycd to improve the farm for her. It has 'been noticed of late t hat Fannie Bant a is gttiug culr blind. It is said (hat she can't see nothing but Green. O. C. Hale has a large crew of men baleing hay, and from a distance it looks like he has more men than hay. Fred McCallieter and several others have beeu making war on the rabbits during the recent xnow ami have suc ceeded in killing several hundred of the measly little brutes. Claude and Joe Ilinton have gone to Beaver Creek on a bu-duess trip. Myrtle Banta looks wistfully o-ver toward Haycreck but everything In sight teems to Parrisli. It is reported that R. II. Barnett has sold a bunch of big stfeis to Bid Steams, of Priuevllle. Consideration in this condition until ho was found by Nt lbon fJrewell, his neareat neigh bor, about 0 o'clock in the mnrnli g Mr. UreWell said: "When I found htm he was b.utiy chilled and I don't be lieve he would have lived to sfe night If I hadn't found him Junt as I did." Mr. GreWell i.ullt a fire and tried to get li t tn waini, hut all ellbrts failed.' The further advanced the day the coh'tr it not, i-o when Peter Vlbbert came along with his bugsiy I hey put him iu agninst his will and look him to .Mr. Greweii's hom, where Mrs. Grewell took etiargo of liiui.. Under her kindly administrations and with t he assist ance f generous dosis of ginger in; and copious drinks of hot wuisky, Billy, with hot irons and bottles all around him, soon commenced to ge somo life into him, and by Saturday eight, witli the continual inn of the whisky in large doses, he had gottetr j warm. Smniiy nfiernoou word was biought to his brother, Timothy Brownhiil, of his condition, who immediately went to see hi in to tlnd, in substance, juM whi'.l is recoided abuve. Wu are glad to say that he in now getting along very nic. ly, thanks to' Mr. and .Mn. Ntl.M.u Git well, who Iiuve given him ;v4-ry atteution. Wo wouldn't wonder now that if Billy had to take part in another de bate concerning '.'Batchelordoin vs .Miiried Life1' ti is argument would be altogether di til-rent fn-m what it'aa on the nigiit in iiuualiou.

Albert Yocuin, who lia'I the mis fortune to break his leg about two months ago, intends (o start for the Valley one day this week, where he can get better treatment for the In jured member. than a novice. And, strange as it may seem, we now have hundreds of insti tutions in this country training thousands of young men every 3'ear and educating them along these lines to the end that they may farm with skill and intel ligence. A couple of generations ago "book farmers" were laughed and scolfed at, but under the fostering care of our government farming is becoming' more than an occupation, more than a tradeit. is becoming to be a science, and those of the future who succeed best will be those who are best equipped by our schools and colleges to take up the work as a science, and at the same time to enter upon it as a worthy, ennobling life work.- Irrigon Irrigator. One man killed, several fatally in jured and sixty persons more or less severely hurt is the record of a street car wreck at a curve on East Tweuty eigiith and GHkoii street, Portland. The accident occurred lal week. The car was crowded with working people and from r ports now at hand would seem that the accident was caused by the car riiin.ing at too greatafcpeed when it struck tlio curve, causing It to leave the track and f)l over on lt side, with the results already meu tioned. --a - A valuable driving mare belonging to the Madars Milling and Mercantile Co. received a serious flesh wound last Wednesday noon while in the blnck hop, where she hnd been, together with her mfe, while the blacksmith, Judge Brooks, had gone to dinner. The Judge was very much surprised upon his return to flud that tbe-mare had in some unaccountable way re ceived a deep Hush, wound on the loft hip 5 Inches wide and 4 Inches long. The mare wan immediately throwu and the wound sewed up. 0ULVEE ITEMS. 0EUELTT TO ANIMALS.
