As something was said Id a former article n parasites, I propose now toaay something ton this moat important aubjeot the Phyl loxera, or grape-vine louse. The ravages tbla lnaeot, tn it various typea, are causing, in both Europe and America, are amazing, When we takp Into conalderatian that " it Is only a naaty little Insect." Aye, only a nan ty little Insect! What haa It done T Blaated thousands of yineyarda; nearly mined the win Interests of France) deeply Injured those of Germany; and spreading all over the Eastern continent. It haa ruined the Catawba vineyards in the 8tatea east of the Rooky Mountains. And we know how, and why, the vitia viniera, or European wine grape, did not, and will not, succeed in the 15 item, Middle, and Western States. We cow know why many of our beat grapes fall, blight, mildew, rot, die. Mot, indeed, that the phylloxera ia tbe direct cause of these disss sea; bat, with the mots gnawed eaten up no vine can withstand any otherwise irtfllng disease. It Is my firm conviction Chstlf there were no root-lice to destroy the poagloles or little rootlets, and thns weaken Che vises, mildew, rot, Ac, would be com paratively unknown. Now, 1st ua look at this matter as best we may. Why do the leaves turn yellow, curl, and fall off, eveu In summer ? For tbe clear rea son that they are not properly nourished; and tbey are net properly nourished because the roots Imperfectly perform their otttce. If the roots are healthy, the whole vine, as a rule, is so. Just as sure, however, as tbe leaves or fruit show signs of premature de cay, Just that sure may we look for diseased roots. The spongiole take up carbonic sold, alkalis, tbe phosphates, silica, ammonia, sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid, chlorine, ox.vdeof iron, and manganese. Now, I know, from practical experience, that nearly all new soils of the Willamette bivaall the organic and inorganic elements necessary for the bealtby growth of tbo grape-vine. Then it is nut the fault of tbe toll. It is true tbat wet, albuinluous tolls are not tit for grape-vines, and no sensible Man will plant them there. But in our dry lands grapes will do wU. Tbeu, I ask, why are our vinewdy IngT Tbe answer is clear. Tbe roots are out of order. Wbj ? Because be phylloxera is eating them up. It is au un derground enemy when ia the type radio! cola; aud, of course, never sutpected. fly the type raaieicola Is meant tbe root type, the type when it does tbe most harm. When in tbe type galliola, or gall-type, or, wore properly, tne gall-inhabiting type, the inn therts laying egps on Ihu underside, of the. grape leaves, imucturiug tht.se, and Ibirnltig little galls, or bou.,t:, hi which bboi.i,) her 'gus. There -uoou hatch, in miiuu uix -or eight days, and become autivo Utile crea tures, Isanlng fruu the gall. Theao jouug Hco i-citfter over the vine, allLeklnj; the toudk tender leave, pumping up the tap aud appropriating it, und forming other galisaud dtpjsitlug eggs, aH tlu.ir iuimvdi hub parent bad done. Thin prooens continues durkig ihu summer, until the tilth orMxin geueratioii. Kvery egg brings fjrth a lurille female, which Is -very piulillu. By the end of September the galls are niosily deserted, arid tbo-e which are lott .are usunlly Infected with mildew, and evecit 'nally turn brown and decoy. Too young lice crawl down to tbe grouud and infest the soots, aid in this state are tiia root-lice which devastate whole vineyards. But these are not the only typea of this insect. After tbo lice have descended to tbe roots of tbo vine, tbey byberuate; and, Id , spring, after having passed the winter km arva atisciied to tbe ruols, moult, rapidly increase in size, and soon commence lay in eggs. These t-ggs soou give birth to young, which soon become virginal egg bearing or lsylui; motners. For Ave or six fenerations these ogg-beariog mothers fol low aaeU other, and in July some of thenr acquire wings and continue to Issue from tbe -round onlll vine-growth ceases In tbe tall. Having Issued from tbo ground In the pupa state, tbey rise in the afr and spread to new Vineyards, where they deliver themselves of ilislr Issue In the form of ?pg, and then per ish. In tbo course of a fortulgbt, these $.', hiving b-en d"p.-slfed near tin- ground at thf- lube of tbo viiif, jwodnca those stxnil iudivbluals, veMch ore botu j'ornu other pur pose then tbo reproduction of their kind, find ara utCb.cvf. iu;euj of tllbt r U'-U'np A Four-Page SALEM, food, Tbey are very active, readily. We Kin have presented (6 spectaole of an insect at one time w Hying from vineyard to vineyan eggs on tbe under aide of tb dying these eggs hatching MWpropagatlng for five or six generatloujRjw tbe tender leaves as a galMnbabUIuCVype, and these falling on the ground,Bbernate as young larva?, on the roots, anjjpre tbe root-inhabit-ing type; and In tbls'ype ruin our vine yards. And In another type or state are produced the male and female phylloxera which prop agate by couples. The gall-Inhabiting type Is eomparatlvsiy harmless, only Injuring tbe leaves. The root-tnhablllng type to most destruct ive, despoiling tbe roots. The gall-inbablting type and root-inhabiting type are both agamous and apterous. We have thns given a rough sketch of the various phases through which this interest ing, bnt terribly destructive, Insect passes. For fifteen years I have known of the gall Inhabiting type and the root-inhabiting type, but did not know that these were agamout. Nor was I aware or the winged state at all, nor yet of those males and females alone as a type of coupling, for the other types must derive tbelr self-fertilizing power from these msle and female couples, that is, must In herit tbe power of self-procreation. This Is a deep morphological question, and none but an Owen or a Spencer, or at least none bnt good entomologists, can explain tbe va rieties of structure, function, homologies, and metamorphosis of Insects. I always thought tbe gall-louse and root-louse were two distinct insects, and never knew, until I learned by study, tbat they were only types of tbe ssme insect. Our knowledge of the phylloxera is in Its Inclpluncy. But many able entomologists are in the field. Tbe entomological reports of tbe various States are opening up to nnr admiring gaze a bitbvrto unknown insect world. Tbe door is thrown open, and many eager, enthusiastic, and bold workors enter the bouse of entomological studies studies at once doep, Interesting, practical; studies whlub uuravel the arcana of Nature and fit us for understanding her ways, In my next I will ay something of tbe (at present) known remedies or means for de stroying, in its various types, this formida ble enemy to our grspe-vioes. And, In a third article, 1 will classify our grapes, showing what species are Invulnerable to its ravages, and wbat species are an easy prey to Its sttsoks and why It prefers to work on our best, aud ofteu the tenderost, vines.

Then, it took us six long weary months to plow through tbe sage plains, climb over mountains, and swim or ford rivers (hat in tervened between the "starling point" on the Missouri River aud Philip Foster's, tbe "first house" in tbe Willamette Valley. Then, our women were heroes, they washed, cooked, mended, nursed babies, while en route, besides walking much of tbe entire distance from Ft. Hall through, without a mnrraurof complaint. Tbey also assisted In driving the loose stock, took turns with their husbands, when necessary, In driving the four yoke of cattle that beuled the wsRon lo wbion tbelr effects were being conveyed to tbelr new borne towards tko setting sun. My own wife did all this, besides assisting me in carrying our entire load by piecemeal on our backa ap long muddy mountains, an empty wsgon being all that onr Jaded skeleton cattle could haul tbmngh tbe mire. It took Us ten days of constsnt bard travel to cross the Cascade Mountains, from "Barlow's date " to Foster's. It ra'ned on us in tor rents, and some of the mountains were so slippery that our cattle could not maintain a foothold in descending before a wagon. We unyoked, drove the cattle down loose, and tben took our wagons down by band, alter rougn ioomng inree or tne wneeis witn log. ohaius, and tying a small fir tree, top fore most, behind the wagon, to keep It from stampeding down the mountain.

I will Mid en passant, thst, nt "B.irlow's.GatV' I met with au old acquaintance Carey Chambers, formerly from Gates burg, Illi nois, who, with the rest of the volunteers, was returning from a campaign against the Cayusrs, that had told tearfully on tbelr wardrobe, though made in the main of buckskin. .Chambers, trne to tbe noble heart that thumped beneath his buckskin shirt, tendered me a yoke of fat cattle be longing to tbe army, to assist me through the Cascades. Upon declining to accept them and designating a man who stood tnoro In need ot them than I, he 'told ma they had a band of wild Spanish cows, whiob tbe boys would catch with a lariat If I thought I could yoke and work them in mv team. I told him I could yoke and work a pair of tbe bulls ot Btshsn if the boys would lead tbem tip. That yoke of wild cows proved to be Just what wa wanted. They pulled uphill, aud pulled just as hard down hill. Tbey never laumi to pun, mougn rneir necxs soon De cerns terribly galled and swelled. We were nut fourteen camps from the Gate to Yam hill, and every night I chained those cowa in inn yoke to a tree, ana rod tbem on bush es. With this ussge they worked hard, and gave milk enough to keep our babies fat, and enab'e me to get a valuable young skeletnn horse through, which took kindly to bread and milk while In th-t mountains. Tbe "men folks" in Yamhill bad nearly all gone to the newly discovered gold mine's in California. A few tbat were left, at the nrgent solicitations of tbe women, put up a small log cabin, ohlnked and daubed the cracks, and put a mud chimney In It, "war rantnd to draw" hv i.hk si-AhltAAt. uhn laO. the prints of hands In the "cats" made of raua enn grass, aa ne laid tne longrolls over Ihe sticks and pitted tbem down with his bands. A lawyer of St. Helens, now grown up and married,' said to mnlast week, that though "I was then only two vesrs old, I remember Inst bow tbe prints of that man's hands looked to me In the mud on that chimney, and bow the Infernal thing smoked." The chimney did "draw" very well, but drew down mostofthe time. Tbe winter of '4S-9 was very cold, and we bad a good deal of snow. The girls of tbe neighborhood drested in common sheeting colored with toa grounds many going to school through the snow barefoot. The boya wore buckskin, and some or tbem bed moc casins. I wsa tort una to enough lo own one boot, full of holes though It was. and tbe leg and heel of another. A raw hld foot was stitched to this fraction every night, with buokskin "whangs." Oneofmv boy schob era assisted me every night Iu mending it or as he called it "poulticing" It. Of mv boy scholars, one of tbem after wards went to Congress fiom Oieaon, and was atterwards appointed hv Lincoln, Chief Justice of Idsbo. One of tbem became the editor o' a medical (ournal, and Is now a successful practicing physician in Salem, one Is a promising young lawyer at St. Helens. Another became president ot a College at Monmnntl'. and Is now the State Superintendent of Public Instruction for Oregon.
