Downing, standing committee: In tlio first ulace. it Hlioultl Ik tlio study of nil furmora to know liowvto ontnin trio jronicjt yieiu irom ma furm from tho least amount of lalxr. Sinco It 1h nn admitted fact that every (lino land Is plowed or stirred, (c Iteclally in dry, hot weather) it lows n grent deal of tho properties requir ed to produce a large yield, plowing in the fall for miring crops has heen recommended by home limners, lo-cnti-jo there was jnore leisure and the team Is usually in hotter flesh and .strength than in the spring, and that laud ho plowed i.s in hotter condition for sowing oats in in the spring, and Oiat dry land t-o plowed does not suf fer ho much from drought. Hut T disagree with all such theories, and Iwliovc that it is the host policy to sow immediately after plowing, If it is to he sowed at all. If laud i.s to ho summer fallowed it may he plowed in the fall or winter to good advan- inrrrt ItihlKnil nf Imlntr nlnufil In Mm' or June as is usually lono. Tlio aii vanlago of fall or winter plowing for Hummer fallow is, (here is generally more leisure time to plow than In the .spring and by turning all tho obnox ious seeds including tho wild oats,iu tho fall or early winter, they will unroot and bo ready for growing by tho first of July, the time to begin stirring the ground with cultivator to kill such growths which I believe Is much lKttr than plowing, since it is a nettled fact that plowing land In July and August Is very injurious to the laud. In regard to crops, I am of tho opinion that fall sowing of wheat is Indispensable to tho farmor that wlshestobosucces.sful,and tho white fall wheat is preferable to all other kinds, unless It Is the Chile club, which Is a white wheat and succeeds well. sowed either in the fallorsnrlncr und 1 believe will out yield tho old white wheat. For a fertilizing crop, T would re commend peas, or rye. tlio rye to be sowed in the fall, and pastured the following summer, and plowed under in the fall and sowed to wheat. Such practice has been known to succeed well. Thoro aro other crops, such as pumpkins, squashes, turnips, ruta bagas, and cabbage, that aro Indis pensable to the farm, and can bo made profitable to tho farm In the way of feud for his stock.

Tlio foliowlngraphlc 'description of mi ci til uiu viiia in ivrinvii u) u wr- respondent of tho Mercury: " Almost e vorybody has experienced the sensa tion of " riding on a railroad keer." You buy your ticket,- enter the car, rush for n favorite seat, takeneurvoy around you from out of tho corner of your eye, the cnglnegivesa "wlioop-ah-whoop!" you hear a clang and a crash of the couplings, and off you go, faster and faster; until you can't see anything for smoke and noise. Away you go, " rlp-rip-rat, rlp-rlp-rat, rlp-rip-rat;" shriek tho rails, as tho wheels fairly Hy over them; " rip-rip-rat," faster and faster, then you begin to think of railroad smash ups, terrlblo disasters, nnd such llko incidents. Btuiuenly you are nrouseu and a wcll.(lre.el fellow with a gori ciVins cim.t'llf ferine with n cold bnnd irom your rovcry: tne door . Mnafca. I I I r jlxs'Vta ifttnl1l enters. Your eyes aredazzled by the glitter of an inimen-o gold chain, a diamond pin, etc., and tlio cry of, iiCKiunr leieiies.vou ui.vuursuiisu.i and sots you groping nbout your per- son lor mat article, utit you can't find It. No, sir; you have got to let a ticket have its own way. Its bound to make you hunt and fume and vex youtvelf: and then it will reveal it self of its own accord, perhaps, in the very pocket that you have ex nuiined a dozen times before. You give tlio article to tho Individual, who has caused nil the confusion; but ho gives It back to you, so ns to re peat the confusion over again. He enjoys it; ho is used to it! You set tle down again, nnd once more are at peace. Again you aro startled. A small boy with a huge basket and a Hoodlum-looking leer in Ids left eye, shrieks, " Peanuts!" You answer mildly "No; no peanuts." Ho de parts. You settle down again, nnd Legiqip ruminate of personal mat tors or vital IniDortanco to vov. and go off inn convocation with yourself, and finally got mixed up in an argu ment. Then your oyes close, and you get more mixed; for tho "rlp-rip-rat, rlp-rlp-rat" of tho mils lulls you gently olv to sleep. You start; ehango your position, plnco your foot upon the shoulders of a young lady In front, who gives you a look; but you see nothing of It, nor does your oar catch her muttered exclamation, " Sir!" Hut you aro brought to your feet like a shot; nnd tho small boy with tho big Iwsket again stands be fore you, nnd your ears aro saluted by n Horles of yells" Prlzo candy, sir! Hero's your prize candy; only one bit or package, and every pack age contains or quartor of or dollar!" "No!" you shriek, "no prlzo can dy!" " WUoop-nh-whoop!" onco more from thedeafenlngstoain whis tle, the train stops nt it station, and you nro there. Tho young man goes for you again, onco more. This time ho shouts, " Paper! moriilu' paper!" You deign no answer but rush for tho door, and in a moment are standing on tho platform outsido surrounded hy a lot of madmen who shout "Freu coach, sir!" "Free coach; hore's your free coach." They siezoyour lmggagc; in n moment you sc.o It whirled otf somewhere: you open your mouth to cry " stop!" Hut no; a dozon strong arms slezo your porson and fling you into a di lapidated looking stage, tho'driver mounts tho box, and you go " to the bett hotol in town, sir," as the driver assures you in tho most confident tones. Such nro the horrors of rail way travel. Says the Olympln Tribune: "Set tlers In tho Puyullup valley report earthquake shocks to be of almost daily occurrence there. The last of these Is said to have continued nine mtuutcH. That Is the fountain head of all the quaking; from there It goes swinging around tho circle. We have had enough of earthquake here, and hope tho Piivallup will keep tho remainder In that locality." ItAitN llUiiNKD. Tito bnm of Hollls Alger, on Columbia Slough, seven miles east of Portland.
