THE IXBEPESDEXT FAHJ1EK,
Let sailors sing of the windy deep;
Let soldiers praise their armor;
But in ray heart this toast I'll keep
The independent farmer.
When first the rose, in robe of green,
Unfolds its crimson lining,
And round his cottage porch U seen
The honeysuckle twining;
"When banks of bloom their sweetness yield
To bees that gather honey,
ITe drives his team across the field,
w Where skies are soft and Eunny.
The blackbirds cluck behind the plough;
The quail pipes loud and clearly; .
Yon orchard hides, behind its bough,
The home he loves so dearly;
The gray old barn doors unfold
IIIb ample storo in measure,
More rich than heaps of hoarded gold,
While yonder in the porch there stands
His wife, the lovely charmer,
The sweetest rose on all his lands
The independent farmer.
To him the Spring comes dancing!y;
To him the Summer blushes;
The Autumn smiles with yellow ray;
His sleep old Winter hushes.
He cares not how the world may move;
Xo doubt or tears confound him
His little flocks are linked in love,
And household angels round him;
He trusts to God, and loves his wife;
Nor griefs nor ills may harm her;
He's Nature's nobleman in life
The independent farmer.
Horses sell at about two and a

It is the province of agricultural
papers to repeat knowledge, rather
tlftin to give news. People forget and
must be reminded. New facts, worth
recording, are few and far between.
A new method of preserving
milk has been introduced by the
Anglo-Swiss Company,whose factory
is situated on the lake of Zug. The
process adopted is simply the abstrac
tion of the watery particles from the
milk and the addition of beet root
fiiigar. Milk thus prepared w ill re
main good for months after the tins
in which it is packed have been
opened, becoming neither mouldy,
sour, or rancid. It bears the ordi
nary changes of temperature without
injury. It is sold in tins, each con
taining the equivalent of rather more
than half a gallon of milk. -The
price of the tin is 3d. The cost of
the tin being a penny, and the duty
a penny, the price of condensed milk
when diluted for use with five parts
of water, is Cd. a quart. About one
third of a pound of beet root sugar
is introduced into each tin. The use
of this preserved milk is increasing
in England.

it in, first pricking it to prevent its
bursting. Boil it one hour.

LtOts of a Large Trade Tlucatem tl.
Hitherto, San Francisco has been
the supply depot for Oregon, Wash
ington Territory, Idaho, and a por.
lion of Montana, says the San Frail",
cisco Morning Call. This trade has
been one of no little importance to
this port, being worth many thou
sands of dollars annually. If the
movement recently inaugurated by
the merchants of Portland proves
successful, all of tbis valuable trade
will be lost to San Francisco, and
the commercial ' importance of the
city materially diminished. Already
several ships have sailed from New
York, laden with general merchant
dise, direct for Portland, and prepara
tions are making for shipping all the
jroods required for that market. If
one cargo can be taken direct to
Portland, a dozen can, and as it will
cost no more to send a ship to that
place from New York than it does to
send one here, the probabilities are
that Portland will soon cease to pur
chase in this market, while the grain
and other produce of Oregon will be
exported direct from Portland, in
stead of through this port. It will
thus be seen that a valuable portion
of our trade is seriously threatened.
With the exorbitant port charges
ruling here, it is folly to expect to
keep our trade from seeking other
channels, and in this matter our mer
chants have been wcfully blind to
their own and the interest of the city.
The Chamber of Commerce has
steadily opposed all movements for
increasing communication to and from
this city, and by its course in rela
tion the city front, has assisted in
materially increasing wharf and dock
charges to a frightful degree. The
difference in port and w harf charges
iu San Francisco and Portland is
enough in favor of the latter to amount
to a fair profit on a general cargo of
merchandise. People n.ay fancy that
the Columbia Bar offers serious ob
structions to vessels from New York.
Not so. With good tug boats those
obstructions can be readily overcome,
and vessels taken into Portland with
as little risk as they are brought into
this port. Our merchants and busi
ness men shou'd look into this mat
ter, and adopt vigorous measures, or
else our commercial supremacy will
be destroyed. Trade here is dull
enough already. What will it be if
we lose the trade of Oregon, Wash
ington, and Idaho, with 1 he city de
barred of quick and easy modes of
communication with all parts of the
interior. I

Buckwheat as Food. M. Isdore
Pierre has been making some investi
gations on buckwheat, from which we
condense the following results : Buck
wheat cakes are equal to pure white
bread as regards the phosphates in
bone material and nitrogeheous priir
ciple which they conta'n, and are su
perior to bread in fatty matters. The
general yield of buckwheat when

require a strong stomach and much

THE OUEGOX GHAPE.
From the earliest settlement of
Oregon, the " Oregon wild grape
root," as it is familiarly called, has
been known and prized for its medici
nal properties, principally as a tonic.
The plant, or rather shrub, is in
digenous to the Pacific slope, and is,
so far as we are aware, entirely un
known to the materia medica ; the
dispensitories make no mention of it.
The Oregon grape grows from one to
five feet high, owing to the richness
of the soil, etc. It is an evergreen ;
has large, angular shaped leaves, and
is admired for its deep green verdure.
The flowers are of a yellowish color.
The fruit is formed in clusters, and is
of a dark parple color, about twice
the size of the ordinary currant ; the
grapes have an acrid taste, but not
unpleasant. It i3 owing entirely to
the resemblance of the fruit that the
early settlers called it the Oregon
wild grape, for it has none of the
properties of the vineyard grape.
But it is of the medicinal proper
ties contained in the root to which
we wish to call attention. The root
of the Oregon grape has been used
since the first settlement of the coun
try as a simple remedy for fever and
ague, and all classes of billions de
rangements. It is chiefly prized by
the old settlers as a preventive.
From the manifold evidence of num
bers, there cin be no doubt of its
being a valuable tonic. The wonder
is, that it has not before this attracted
the attention of scientific medical men.
In view of this fact, Mr. Chas. II.
Woodard, druggist, of Portland, has
forwarded packages of this root to
eminent medical chemists in the
East, to have its properties analyzed
and defined. We doubt not but that
in a few years the Oregon wild grape
root, or when science deigns to give
it a more euphonious name, will be
justly appreciated and take its place
as an article of importance in the
world's commerce as a valuable med
icine. One who eays he has been made
a Good Templar thus describes the
process :
The victim for initiation is first
blindfolded, bound hand and foot, and
then thrown into a cider press and
squeezed for five or ten minutes. This
is done for the purpose of clearing
his system of all " old drinks." He
is then taken out of the cider press,
and by means of a force pump,
gorged with cistern water, after which
sealing plaster is put over his mouth
and he is rolled in a barrel four or five
times across the room, the choir at
the same time sinking the cold water
song. He is then taken out of the
barrel and hung up by the heels until
the water runs out through his ears ;
then he is cut down, and a beautiful
lady hands him a glass of ice water.
A cold water bath is then furnished
him, after which he is showered with
cistern water. He is then made to
read aloud the articles of incorpora
tion and by-laws of the water com
pany, ten times, drinking a glass of
cistern water between each reading ;
after which the "Old Oaken Bucket"
is sung and hung around his neck,
while fifteen sisters with squirt.guns
daluge him with cistern water. He
is then forced to cat two pounds of
ice cream, while the brothers fill his
ears full of powdered ice. Then he
is run through a patent clothes
wringer, after which he is banded a
glass of water and his boots are filled
with the same, and he is laid away in
a refrigerator. Aftcrremaining in the
refrigerator half an hour he is taken
out, ran through a clothes wringer,
takes the whole lodge down to a soda
fountain, stands treat, and becomes a
Good Templar.

of them curried on our line, and we consider

your watches pive us less trouble, unit have

Waltham Watches are the moat satisfactory
of any for their uses. They run wi(h the
greatest accuracy and steadiness, notwith
standing the rough riding of an engine, and,
as I have never known one to wear out, they
must be durable. I hope to see the tima

it would greatly tend to promote "regularity

GANG PLOWS.
As the aye in which we live demands
progress in Farming Imjyletjienls as
well as in all other branches of indits
try, we have determined to enter exlen
sively upon the manvfaclure of the
celebrated
ITcil amix Plow !
Better known inOregon as the WOL
GAMO TPLO W. This Plow com .
bines all the desirable points of a -per
fect implement, being simple in con
struclion, cheap, durable, ana of light
draft. The only Premiums ivhich were
arcarded to Gang 1'lows at the great
Implement trial at Mat toon, Sejit. 4,
I860, by the Slate Agricultural Soci
eh of Illinois, were awarded to this
rioto. The following is an extract
from the Report of the Commissioner
of Agriculture, for the year 18GG, and
may be found on page 21G of that re
port :
"The Gang Tlow made by J. C. Pfeil,
Arenzville, ('ass county Illinois, is received
with no little favor in the west. Almost in
credible stories are told of its excellence
and elliciency in plowing the prairie lields
of Illinois and other States.
" The depth of the furrow is regulated by
the crank-axle, which is so arranged that
the ploughs can be driven deeper or shal
lower at the pleasure of the driver, when the
team is moviug.by means of the lever.
We also manufacture sulkey plows for
small boys, or infirm persons who are unable
to manage a team of three or four horses.
This gang or sulkey plow, will cut a fur
row from 2 to 10 inches deep.
"The committee who tested the draught
of this plow with a dynamometer state, that
it ran lighter by 140 pounds, than other plow
when running at the same depth, ami held
by the plowman while on foot."
CsS"" With this Plow one man can do
more, work than two men can do iv'th
walking Plows, and the same amount
of team. Hence, it will be seen that
it will more than pay for itself in one
season's plowing.
KSF'In ad-lit ion to the above, John
W. Lewis will also manufacture the
WEB-FOOT GANG PLOW !
AND THK
Web-Foot Walking Plow !
Both patterns of his own invention,
for which patents have been applied
for, and which have, withstood practi
cal tests with the best rcsnlts, receiving
flattering testimonials wherever seen
or tried.

are invited to give the Oregon City
