Dear Sir: As L purchased some wheat
topfft&smyrW&Wtfy
oi writing lo yoUf as i see vy mo'oira you
sent me, you have a. wheat and grain experi
mental farm. I thought you would like to
join With' ns'tn forming an association for the
freo exchange of fruits, grains, seeds, plants,
etc., etc., with the members each member
gives what he has to spare;' that Is, any per
son may join our association by sending on
to the Secretary his name and address with
membership fee, 23 cents, to pay for printing,
etc., and what seeds,, trees, shrubs,. plants,
etc , he has to nxohange, and what plants,
&c, he wishes at present. The Secretary
sends htm a list of all members, what they
have and want, with rules, etc. We have
members from all parts of tbe United States,
bnt none from Oregon yet. Thinking, from
your letter, that you would b9 willing and
glad, to have somethtngof this kind, I thought
I would let you know. We have only organ
ized the Society a short time, and have about
thirty members now. I hear about Oregon
lilies. Do they bloom wild where you live?
I would like very much to obtain a few
bulbs. If I can seud you anything, seeds,
plants, fruits or bulbs, I will' 'take pleasure
In doing so.
If you conclude to Join the asseoiatlon 1
will take pleasure (If you send on soon) in
sending to the members some of yonr cards
or circulars, as I have tip doubt many would
like very much to try Oregon wheat. By the
way, that wheat you sent tne In 1672 I could
not plant that year, on account or sickness;
last fall I planted It and It looks Ann. t
If you send on your name, please try and
get some of yonr fi lends to send with vou.
They can eet almost anything, seeds, small
fruits, Ac, bv mall, for nothing only post
age on coinethlng lu return. .Hoping to hear

nndereuneut of our Im la a restless lids.
Rest may come for hands and brain, but It is'
not rest; there is yet that "nameless long
ing" for something beyond. To n cultU atertt
tasto it may seem that wo wield the pen with
the hope of paining a cheap notoriety. We
deny haviug so unworthy an objoct, yet tho
thought leads us to discuss an Important
subject.
It has been a matter of considerable remark;'
of late years that tho number of ouien wh'o
occasionally contribute to tho papers fs great
ly In excess of the men. and that ainco nra-
jndlce has begun to wear away more women;
limn nvm am oomlrlg Into the field as lectu
rers Mauy theories hne been ndvancedns
to tho uause of tills, but thev havei
beon either unsatisfactory or uniust to
womankind. There Is nover a girl who
le brought up merely to finger the
piano and adjust her ribbons and laco
but Is troubled with "a vaguo unrest" and
seeks to find peu-e in (llrlntlon; never "a.
household ilrndijo" but quarrels with fate
and questions If It Is all of life to live; and
never a woman with brains and leisure hut
longs to make thorn both ofusoto tho world.
It is this restlessness discontent, If you
please that has elen rlso to our Womart
Sutlrage Associations, founded our aid socie
ties and established many ot our charitable
institutions. It is this that sots ro many
tongues to talking and pons to scribbling.
Wo have been hedged In. True, we hare
helped to build onr own wall hut now that
we feel cramped for space and want wider
fields for activity, wo rush in flocks to nverv
low placo and new opening and crowd each;
other in escaping from tlio field. Men ohoose
an occupation and oxert e ery energy to make
that pursuit n success. Women more often
are placed bvciruumstnncesln situations that
aro distasteful, or whore they cannot sea the
fruit of their labors, and where half their"
faculties are not required.
This surplus energy will not always be
dormant, consequently we plungo headlong
Into all manner of fashionable follies, work
busily at pretty nothings, and, when be
nevolently inclined, loin sewing societies to
help clothe tbe needv. When these fall io
satisfy, we usually, without tbe faintest hope
of winning distinction, flood the newspapers
wfth sentimental poetry and fill the ladles
magairlnes with senaatloual stories. We are
compelled to confess that these efforts are of
ten of more benefit to the writers than read
ers, and though this Is a perfectly harmless
way of employing the mind, It Is embarrass
ing to many women of talent anl preventer
them from becoming professional writers.
Even lnslgntflcant as we sre,'we have always
hesitated before taking up tbe pen, though
our figures ached mimetluiesto grssp it, tor
fear some ceusorlous critic might ludge that
we did so, merely it) gratlfv a whim, rather
than, because we had something toty. This
