Presidential candidate for renomina tion and re-election, then he placed himself in a [»oeition open to the legi timate criticism of the people of Ore gon bis friendship for the administra tion led him into a situation which in vited attack, and which he must have ex|>ected to defend “under cover.” Col. Irish will make peraoual frieuds throughout the state among members of both parties, and if his sjteeches are all cast in the same considerate and conciliatory mould as that delivered here. I19 will leavo as pleasaut an im pression among Republicans as any Democratic speaker who has made a canvass of the state: but there needn't lie much apprehension of his making many converts for free trade and Cleve land. At a recent farmers’ club in Michi gan one ¡lerson raised the question as to whether it paid to raise stock, de claring he “hail made some very close experiments weighing and feeding, aud oouki aot yet, figure out. a .»«rgtu uiarifiu of , rotit for lnmself.” Tt is r-* not likely that it would pay if one were to go in to the markets and purchase every thing which it consumes, but the con dition under which livestock is grown upon the farms are altogether different. On every farm there is considerable inferior grain and bay practically with out commercial value, which, never theless makes very profitable sbx-k food and which, in point of fact con stitutes a very considerable portion of its supixirt. and there are incidental prixlusts, like straw, stalks aud cliaff, which, but for the value that livestock is capable of extracting, would go to utter waste. There is much coarse her bage consumed by it which the farmer can neither eliminate» from his fields with any reasonable amount of labor nor possibly turn into merchantable prixiucts. There are “gleanings” in all the fields after the farmer has fin ished the most careful harvest aud gathering of the crops, aud there are aftermaths and second growths of various descriptions which could never lx> profitably prepared for market, but which contribute not a little to the growth and support of the live stock. It gathers and turus to profitable use without involving any expense on ac count of labor, the grass growing in the pastures aud upon all [»ortions of the farm not under actual tillage. In short its principal support is its pro duct otherwise without material value or which have not been reduced to a merchantable condition. Besides, its presence enlarges the number of field crops which can be grown with profit, and tqienR the way for the most intel ligent and profitable rotation, for in its absence all manner of root crops, as well as clover and grass (except for hay,; would ls> eliminated from the lists of profitable crops <q>en to the farmer’s selection. Finally tlio rota tion which it permits aud the tuauure it distributes in the fields or leaves around the stabling and feeding lots is the means of sustaining whatever de gree of fertility the farm ixissesses, renders the profitable production of geueral crops possible, and prevents the farm from sinking sjieetlily into a state of absolute sterility. So, even if a farmer cannot always take his pencil aud figure out just w hat profit be is making from the growth of bis live stock just what advantage has been sts-ured each day aud hour, the final aggregate results 6how that it has made good money for its'J owner. Farmers who have devoted themselves mainly to its production have generally grown rich, anil while the farmer may not be able to measure his profit with the same precision as in many other matters, he knows that the sale of live stock and live stock products consti tute a very large proportion of the in- come of the farm. At the same time it must not be supposed that the character of the stix’k maintained is a matter ot in- difference. There is considerable merchantable product fed out first and last, and unless the stock is of an im proved character, a loss is likely to be make on this, which, of course, cuts down tho profits which are realized from sources of growth, aud perhaps dissipates them altogether: and it is also important that the pasturage and coarse fodders be turued to the largest and very best account, which only- stock of an improved character can ac complish. There is abundant occa sion for a farmer to figure elaborately as to the comparative profits to be realized from various descriptions of 6tock. Indeed, it is an encouraging sight to find him indulging in figures of this sort, since the difference Ixv tween the improved breeds and the in ferior and common sorts is so great that a careful examination of the sub ject will be sure to impress any intel ligent farmer with t be great advantages to be secured by keeping only the im proved sorts. But to enter upon cal culations as to whether the maintmu- ance of any description of stock is pro fitable is time thrown away, since the experience of the world, extending through thousands of years, since the day our ancestors were nomads wander ing in the desert with no other visible wealth but their herds and Hocks, has settled that point beyond the possibili ty of any intelligent dispute.— [Breed er's Gazette. United Republicans. •alem Statesman. May l:'.., Hou. Geo. H. Williams on lieing asked Friday, by an Oregonian rejsirt- er. what be considered the outlook for the Republican party in this state at the coming election. Baid: “In any canvass I have made in this state I have never found the Republi cans more united and enthusiastic than at this time. They are unani mous in supporting the state nomina tions. Iu my opinion the Democrats are making a special effort to select their legislative ticket so as to secure the United Slates senator, and are or ganizing third parties in counties where the Republicans have small ma jorities. but the Republicans areawake to their efforts and they will lie un successful. “1 have conversed with a number of representative liepubli.-ans in regard to their preference for a nomination at the Chicago convention, and although some are quite friendly to Blaine I bo- lievo the prevailing sentiment among Republicans is that the nomination of Judge Gresham is the lies! nomina tion that could lie made by that con vention. and I concur in that opinion.” “What is your idea about the pro hibition vote?” “Mv opinion is that the whole vote will not be any larger than it was two years ago. and it is doubtful if it is as large. A number of avowed prohibi tionists tu Clackamas county, where I have just lieeD, say that they will sup port the Republican ticket.” HERMANN'S WORK. [6 h 1 c * id .Statesman, May 18.] The editor of tbs Statesman last night received a letter from Binger Hermann, dated May 5tb, a portion of which will be found appended Mow, although the letter was not intended for publication. These facts which Mr. Hermauu sets forth [»rove conclusively that Oregon has one of the hardest working and most painstaking, aud it may lie truth- fully added, most able, inemberH of that whole body of 325. He has cer- tainly done well for his opportunities. A h Mr. Hermann never fails to answer a letter from auy constituent, and at tends to an immeuse amount of bureau and department work, he must indeed Ixi almost sleepless in bis vigilance and watchfulness of the interests of the state he represents, and which so greatly needs such an energetic spokes man iu tlie national balls of legislation.

They have colleagues to aid them in a close vote. Mr. Cox, of New York, can bring thirty-four votes where New York is locally af fected, while Oregon is sure of but one. New York is thirty-four to 325; Ore gon is oue to 325. In the senate how ever, Oregon is the equal of New York, or oue to thirty-eight. With all these difficulties Oregon has more lulls passed, aud far more reported on tho calendar, than any other state iu pro portion. Her reported appropriations are larger than ever. The labors in volved in different legislation is to the Oregon members nothing in compari son to the innumerable details before the departments, which create an in creasing corrosjiondenoe that is ex acting and laborious. Yours Truly. B ingek H ermann .” Fruit> and Insects. If Oregon shall fulfill the destiny that seems natural to her, there must lie organized fruit-growing on a very- large scale ot production. This will necessitate that the various jieets and diseases that affect fruit trees shall be studied and remedies for them made known. This will be one of the most important subjects for investigation by an agricultural colleg?, for such an in stitution should (Miesess a training en tomologist whose duty should include all insects peculiar to our state and causing loss to fruit-growers. The sooner the state ¡aissesses an agricul tural college that is thoroughly or ganized and ably officered, the better for Oregon. With all the works ex tant, it is impossible to understand local conditions from the general des criptions given of insect pests else where. California differs so radically in climate that Oregon fruit-growers cannot follow the experience of growers there in an exact way. The same fruits do not exist here, and the stime pests, if they do exist, have somewhat dif ferent ways. The entomologist for Oregon must understand the effect of climate on insects, nod their habits here tinder these climatic conditions. Individuals may have some vague ideas, and some may study the effect of cli mate on the existence of insects that injure fruit; but few individual' oc cupied in ordinary avocations can find time to study the nature and habits of insects from a local stand point as a scientist would. When our state agricultural college shall be re habilitated. aud the Hatch bill passes to increase its means for usefulness, these matters will oirae up for con sideration and no doubt will receive special attention. One thing of importance relates to the fungus spots that distort pears, which seem to suffer far more than other fruits. Science has hardly reached a point where it can show the cause of this fungus distortion, but it litis Iteen shown that through drainage and deep working of soil produced a change in an apple tree, mul caused it produce perfect fruit after years of distorted fungus growth. ¿Oregonian.

C., Sunday Gatotte.] No lietter argiuneut for or against any qu.*stiun can be given than a cita tion of facte. The logic of facte is in exorable. ft convinces, even against the grain. It penetrates the thickest I skull and enlightens the ilulleet tnind. It is the best possible defense of a high tariff, and we propose to furnish our readers with the argument pre sented by the facte of the ease, show ing what free trade has done for this ' country. From 1,83 till 1789 the confederated Htates of America had free trade with • all the world. Matthew Carey sums I up the consequences of o[»eui'ug the ports of this country to the commerce ot the world. Those consequences were frightful, but, they were such at never failed to follow such a 6tate of things. Our markets were glutted. Prices fell. Competition on the part of our manufacturers was at an eud. They were Ixsggared aud bankrupted, and the farmers who had felicitated Uieuwelves on the grand adtauLage of busing foreign tncrehtmdHMi -%eap sunk likewise into the vortex of gen eral destruction. Goods often lay on the wharves for many days for want of storeroom. House rent rose to double and treble in our chief ports. The w.-aver, the shoemaker, the hatter, the saddler, the sugar baker, the rope- tnaker, etc., were reduced to bank ruptcy. Their <*stablishmente were sus|»ende<L Their workmen were con signed to beggary. The payment for the foreign rubbish exhausted the country of nearly id] its specie, im mense quantities of which had been introduced to pay the French armies, and likewise from the Hpanish colon ies. Carey’s statement is a terrible one. but it is the simple fact only. As a result of this state of affairs. Congress immediately after the government went iuto o|>eration. under the constitution, was conqielled to pass a tariff law. which was approved by President Washington July 4. 1789. This tariff was the first ever adopted by the coun try, it w;is born with the country, so to 6|>eak, and shows that the United States are indissolubly linked to a high tariff. The condition ot the country under a high tariff has always been very dif ferent from the gloomy picture pre sented above as under free trade. Prof. R. E. Thom| » sod . in his “Political Economy,” quotes from Henry Clay as follows: “If I were to select," says Henry Clay in 1831, “any term of seven yean since the adoption of our present con stitution which exhibits a scene of th< most widespread dismay aud desolu tion it would be exactly that term o 6even years which immediately pre ceded the enactment of the tariff ol 1824.” "Now,” he continues, “we l> - hold cultivation extended, the art flourishing, the face of the country in proved, our people fully and prufitabl - employed * * * a people out of del < * * * our cities expanded and who?- villages springing up as by enchan rnent * * * the currency sound an . abundant; the public debt of two jree nearly redeemed, and, to crown a. the public treasury is ovt rflou in// embarramusg Cou<jrc«s not to Ji: • subjects of ta.ration, but to select < jects which shall be rciiewd of L ]>ost. If the term of seven years wt to be selected of the greatest proape ty which this people have enjoyed sir ; the enactment of the present Cousin i tion it would lie exactly that penod <>’ seven years whidh immediately follow . i the passage of the tariff of 1824.” These are the arguments ot fact, a’: I before it flimsy theories of protect! :i melt as mist wreaths iu the full 14 , of the morning sun. Summer Feed. The farmer who desires to feed p c and cattle in summer aud keep the pigs in good growing order can d< r on clover, if he can secure a stand, e > ’ more reliably still can sow rape s ! and fix'd stock on the ground. S • much has been said about rape that is not necessary to describe the ph ' It grows luxuriantly, and a man < .m make a test with a few square rods n decide its value, if he can Dot taketii- word of experienced nieu everywhiu . Ra[»e is sown in drills, and comes up and makes a rapid growth, so that it can lx* fed off the ground in a moi. : or six weeks from the time of plant, n it. The way to utilize it to the b*-l advantage is to keep a few panels • if movable fence and inclose sever d square rods at a time, and have st»--!: eat it clean. Then inclose anotlc small space. In this way the wl, t field can be pastured repeatedly. 1! crop, being eaten off this way. is . I- ways growing aud tender. If swr are corraled on rape in this way tl leave manure that greatly enriches and puts the ground in condition ; produce great crops for the year f lowing. Cattle do well on it, am. a good crop of rape thus fed off tl ground is the best way to fertilize lami possible. The value of rape is said by tho who generally raise it, to bebeyom! question. For instanoe hogs or youi pigs are kept in growing order all sui mer. can then lie turned into the stub ble field and finally put up and fat tened quickly. Young pigs born i February or March can be kept gnn ing all the time, aud made into tl • best of meat that season. Cows ca lx1 kept up in their milk, and Ixsef cat - tie kept fat. These are [MMsibilitK worth trying, mid the sowing of an acre iii rape involves but little labor o care. The man who is ambitious U / excel will be sure to try iL WAYSIDE GATHERINGS.
