"WILLAMETTE FARMER,
Winter Irrigation.
Under the signntaro of W. T. n correspondent
ol the Rural Press says: It may be cou-iclcreilm
an axiom anrnng those whtdovote their attention
to tho true principles on which a rational sys
tem of agriculturo should bo conducted, that
ono of the most important objects in good
farming is the proper condition of the
soil in winter. In this State, farmers know, to
their bitter experience, that in seasons when
there is little rain, a deficient crop is the tiutu
rnl result. In soveral others, and in other
countries, too much rain, except duo prov llon is
made to secure the laud against becoming over
soaked with water, is found to bo equally inju
rious. It becomes, therefore, the duty of those
who would instruct the less informed in agri
cultural science, to explain, so that practical
men may be oblo to appreciate their lessons;
why it happens that a largo supply of whiter
Tain, even in this State, sometimes proves of
little service. Without pretending to bo so
much of n guide that I would dislike to be eon
trtullcteel, I do claim to linvesomo practical ami
scientific; knowledgo of agricultural mutters,
and therefore expect that your rtiuloin will
have patience with mo in attempting to reason
with them, whether in regard to tho present or
other ugrlculttiral subjects, iu tho columns of
your widuly-ciiculuto I periodical, as they may
rest nmure.il that I shall always be influenced
by tho prime motivoof an endeavor to promote
their interests.
Water, although indispensable in the growth
of plants, is by no means their only requisite.
Such was the idlo dream of tho old Dutch
chemist, Von Ilvlmont, when after p'auting a
slip of willow inn box of earth, ami supphliu
it with distilled water, ho found that, though
the earth iu the box had only decreased a few
outlier), tho sprig of willow had beoomo u tree.
We tnuet excuse him; for vegetable physiology
was iu his timo but poorly understood, and
the sources from which plants derive thtlr food
only a matter of conjecture. Yet I often think
of his Idea when I read the high-touud notices
of tho vast advantages to bod-rived from irri
gation, as if Irrigation alono were all that is
wanted to render our dry soils perpetually pro
ductive. btill it is true, aud indisputably true,
Unit without a sufficient supply ol moisture iu
the Koil, tho best of cultivation must prove
aboitlvc; although it is iqtially true, that too
much watir may bo evtn worse than too littlo.
Ilonco in nrguiug for or against winter irriga
tion, tho particular condition and preparation
of tho soil to bo so treated has to be taken into
account; aud more especially in tho growth of
wheat, which is gouerally sown before winter
proper commences.
In almopt all countries where agriculturo it.
prudently conducted, tho greatest caro requires
to bo taken to provent tho young wheat from
suffering from an excess of winter rain. In
Euglami, for instance, wheat 1b sown on ridges
about 20 or 23 feet iu width, having water fur
rows between them to drain off tho surplus wa
ter of winter rains; aud in tho polder lands
ricvr Antwerp, in Uelgium, tho ridges aro fre
quently not more than half that width, and the
water furrows twice as deep. Such practice is
in cithtr case in nccoidauco with hcfeueo; for
air is incited in tho growth of plauts as will as
water. If water is iudispeusablo for tho pur
pose of dissolving unit holding in solution tho
inorganic ingredients of plants, nir is e finally
needed to produce the disintegrations aud de
compositions by which the soil, which furnish
es those iugrtdients, is n mitred capable of do
lus so; and it is only whtu the soil U in a cor.
tain condition as to dry uoss that it is sufficient
ly permeable by air; and without air iu thu soil
plants as will as animals whtu deprived of it,
would die fioiu as hjxia.
The qui stiou, theiefore, of the propriety of
winter irrigation iu this btate depends on the
char.iftir and condition of the noil aud its
propu preparation previous to tho application
bf an increase of water to it, over thut which
naturally falls upon it iu rain. To udd more
water in wiuter to a soil which ordinarily be
comes too wot and poachy, in tho way in
which it is generally cultivated, would only
result in increasing nu ovil which ought to be
preveuted. If, on tho other hand, tho soil is
of a dry and porous nature, aud care is taken
thut the additional wattr is so applied as only
to put it in such a condition as ft would natur
ally have in those rainy wiuttrs which iu
suro on such laud au atmudant crop, I do
not see why a prudent farmer should not avail
himself of securing, by artificial means, if
within his power, what ho lluds to bo in favor
able seasons so advantageous to him. It is
really a question which can not be decided,
generally, but must depend on the particular
ciicumstances of each particular case.

KniTors rAiiiim. Tho harvest is past, and
the summer is ended; oud now is being nmdo
a preparation for tho cold cutting wiuds of
winter the time in this latitude aud longitude
when the hous of toil nuticipate rest aud recre
ation, because here, from string to wiuter is
ono continual hurry in tho agricultural districts
Perhaps too, n drought for ono month's dura
tion may blight all hopes, or rains may mock
all desires, cousequoutly the farmer is, as tho
adige has it, "in hot water all the timo."
How different therefore, in nearly tho iden

respecting the Uoleleu state; ono uas nearu mat
there is never any frost there; another, that it
is very cold there; another, they hive such

in that country; while another would like to go
and buv a farm and dig gold if tho ludians
were not so plentiful, etc., tto.;meautime many
would like to quaff the juico of the grape

for being the home of a great number of Dutch

the principles, peculiarities and tongue of

The valley rests on the Limestone hence

high, J300 per acre being a common price.
Oue may very correctly estimate the value of
the farm by the size and architecture of the
out-buildings. especially the barn. Notwith

yield per acre of wheat, fruit and vegetables
will not begin to vie with the average of Cal

Squirrels and Birds as Nuisances.
From the Peclflo Hural I'm.
EniTons I'iiess: I am very glad to see you
calling ptiuuo attention to the "squirrel nuts,
ance. Although this vallev lucoreiiuc to
report does not suffer as much as many other
places iroru mat cause, still tuo aggregate loss
If the real facts weie collected would be almost
beyond belief. Probably no one thing that
entails so much loss to the farmers of this
State could bo so easily remedied as this. Ex
perience proves that with united action on tho
part of all land owners in properly using a few
dollars worth each of posion they can be ex
terminated, tlut tho refusal or neglect of oue
laud holder in u neighborhood to cooperate
with tho rest, neutralizes the combined efforts
iu a great measure of the others.
How a mm gifted with the usual amount of
conimou sense who toils from morning nutll
night to earn ono or two dollars per day, prac
tices tho most rigid economy ninl watches every
opening for a chance to make a dollar will neg
lect or hositato to spend a few dollars for poi
sou, which in many cases would save hun
dreds, is past my comprehension, but is
nevertheless a fact, with which we are too well
acquainted. If nothing else will reaih this
class of persons it is to bo hoped the Legisla
ture will devise an effective way. It is not
right that one man by his stupidity or neglect
should entail serious loss on a whole commu
nity. There is not a corporation iu the State
thatpiys dividends as largo as the farmers
would realiso for money rightly employed iu
exterminating tho squirrels.
Now a few w ords ou another subject. I shall
no doubt bo considered by many an outside
barbarian, but it is well enough to investigate
facts sometimes oven If they do not always
agrco with our own ideas. Calling whito black
never made it so. To come at once to tho
point, it is tho bird nuisance, and which I con
lend is at present but littlo less than the "squir
rel nuisance," with tho prospect soou of far
exoeediug it.
Horn and brought up In an eastern State, I
was educated iu the belief that destroying little
birds was n crime, and for some time after my
rcsideuico hero supposed tho birds wore of more
benefit than injury. That opinion has long
sirco been changed. As but very little effort
has been made to destroy birds, they have in
creased the hist few joint at a fcarlul rate.
Our splendid climate is so favnrablo to thtlr
reproduction that unless some means aro de
vised to Keep them in check, fruit-raising will
soon bo a failure-. I think no one acquaint) d
with the facts will deny that the birds haw
eaten and destroyed one-frnrth of tho grape
crop iu this valley this season, while no one
can estimate torreetly tho amount of grain
destroyed.
It is impossible to frighten them away, mid
shootlug them is very slow business, and ap
pears to have very littlo t Meet on tho survivors.
I know it will bo said that tho biids destroy
tho itisects that would otherwise overrun us
and injure our crops. Tho fact is wu have but
few insects of any kind that injure our crops,
aud I would rather divide with them than give
tho whole to tho birds. Tho most destructive
birds iu n viui'.vard are eiuails, bluejijs, lin
nets, spirrowsund larks. It is all very nice to
listen to the birds singing in tho trees, but the
charm is broken when you find they have elos
troyed tho fruits of your labor.
If I mistake not tho signs of tho times, tho
fruit growers will this winter demand tho !
peal of the law protecting quail, for the probabil
ity is. they will Increase yearly in such limn
licrs, that a bounty may eventually bo mi-is-sary.
Iu respect to other birds not valuable
as game, it is difficult to seo how tlie-y aro to
bo kept within reasonable limits, except by
wholesale poisoning; and as if tho cup of the
fruit-growers was not quite full.wo aro now told
that some one has iutroehu-id tho English
sparrow, ono of the most rapacious fruit birds
known, if report is true.
Charity compels mo to beliove that thoy were
imported with good motives and iu ignorance
of the evils they will cause. Tho importation
of tho uamo number of wolves or panthers
would havo been a blessing iu comparison
Tho sooner we awake to the mnguitudo of this
(il the easier we can ovei tome it. Well know
ing that many of my ideas will bo unpopular
with a largo class not rouvcrsautwitii mo tacts,
I sign my name iu full that no other person
may sutler, even by implication,

Carbonic Acid in the Air.
Sir Walter Trovelyan, iu a communication
receutly addressed to the Uanltnrr's Chronicle,
startup curious aud ingenious theory on th
advslutrt'so of a Binall per centago of carbonic
acid in tho air. The sedative nature of this
cas is well known, aud with most animals in a
state of nature, sleep comes on at tho time
when plauts commence to develop carbonic
uciil, tliul is, at suuset aim u relaxes us uoni
about suurise, when plants begin to exhale
orvcen. Further, when me n and animals com-
pose themselves to sleep, they not only do so

lion to the muscles, but they "place the head
so as to favor tho accumulation of that gas
about it. aud conseeiueutly its inhalation. The
head of a man. when at rust, otne rally lies low,
on a soft and depressed pillow, tlienu of most
quadrupeds couched between their paws, and
tlioso of blrils nesiieel among tno leatmrsoi
their back or wings," so that in all these, cases,
owing to the low and confined position of the
mouth aud tiostrils, much of the air must be
inhaled again ami again, and Incomo gradually
mixed with a larger proportion of carbonic acid.
lie also aetducesthe fact that the carnlvora, who
aro nocturnal in their habits, retire during the
day to deep and narrow caverus, in which the
air becoming vitiated by their respiration, tends
in iirnmnin kIhimi. The nbvioos objection to
this theory Is, that the carbonic, aciil becomes
rapielly diffused, so that the air in eve ry part
of the room would probably be found to be stn
sibly of the samo composition.
Tilt Comino Stobm. The farmers, mechanics
and laboring men aro in numbers sufficient to
rule this nation, to make and administer its
laws, aud it is not within the nature of things
that they will submit to toil aud pay taxes for
the support of an idle and profligate, political
aristocracy, and a moneyed aristocracy that
grows rich from unequal laws. They have
stood the impositions and flagrant outrages that
have been committed iu their name, till for
bearance has ceased to be a virtue. The great
mass of the people, the toiling millions, demand
reform In the administration of the Govern
me nt. and a simpler mode of life for its repre
sentatives. Already from out the dim future
mine rnmbllncs of the Catherine storrn, lit up
hr the forked lichtniucs of a just wrth. Let
scheming politicians aud insolent corruptionists
beware how they tempt
