KniTtm Farmkii: As we bavo lon a read
er oi tour valuable paper Tor some time, and
as .u liavo not chanced to too anything In
your columns from this section of the coun.
try, we will try mid write somethliiir, hoping
4hat it may be beneficial to some person, if
no other than ourselves.
AUhougli there are of necessity dlli'areiit
opinions among men, as it wero, ital to
their very existence and general lunpluess,
olill on principles relative to the wants of the
mejor part of humanity, all thinking person
are a unit. We are firmly or thooplulou
that poltlcal divisions among the Individuals
of a nation aro indispensable; and good
government Is only made perfect where
iheso divisions exist in an unbridled state
lan Is bv nature corrupt (so the Good HooV
tells tin ) and whenever unlimited power N
granted him, he will, In many Instances, eon.
vert the ptoceeds of his position to the tilling
ip of his own pitrsr, in have somo of ovu
late otllelals. And while it is the case with
nil opposing parties to cover tip their own
" short comings " and howl over the wrongs
ot others, we are unmeaaurably plea6d to
nolo the Will.vmiuti: Fahmeji exposing
wrong wherever it may be tound and doing I
ood woik for tho people of Oregon. It
isems to mo there ought of necessity to he :
homothtng that would bring the labelling j
-cHspes neater togetuer, both Iti sentiment '
and well-doing. What is there thul is better
calculated to meet the universal wants ot the ,
laborer if properly curled out, than the
grange movement? It is an orgariUitioii
that is bound lo work out good lor tho lar-1
tuer. At the same lime we must not txpect
too much from the Orange; let us do some
thing ourselves. lUlse grain of all descrlp-,
t'ons, m that when theprlce of somo kinds is '
hv, others will Iie3ra ijood piico. j
Sjlotk t aiding is a necessitj-among ns audi

raKeis ot K-tattri) Oiegou are turning mot
ot their attention to kheep; and in a .short
'time the ant holds of cattle and horses ol
that section will dwindle away and prices
Viill again be good. Oj not stop laising bo
oiuse they re low, accumulate all you can
ind bell when they get high.
The people'of Oregon could have many
comforts in alter years if they would but
work while it is day. We lose more by nog-
leetlng our limitless at the present than we
nan make in many years of toil in the future;
tor by neglect and bad management the
farm is mortgaged, and in a short time it has
to be sold to satisty the liability never
mortgage your place.
Mr. Kdltor, on commencing this It was
our Intention to have said something regard
ing our section of the country, but as we
wpent the time and occupied the space writ
ing about something else, we will have to
defer that until some future time, when we
lll gie a limited description of a vast area
of country lying lu this county (Clackamas)
and which is of en lor settlement.

Kditou Fak.mkr: Perhaps an occasional
correspondence from this section will Interest
many ot your readers. As our climate Cast
of the Cascades is so diversitied, I will first
-sp-ak of the past winter. We had an tin
isual amount of rain in the fall which
started the grass early, thereby leaving
stock in much better condition than they had
lieeu lor several pieceding winters. Wo
bad three snow storms of about two weeks'
duration each. Stock remaining on the
range did well, requiring no feed whatever.
A large amount ot bay remains on hand for
tiiixt winter. Sheep hae done well this
winter, the baud nearest here belouging to
Walker and Churchman requiring only one
week's feeds and are now in good condition.
We have had flue weather during the entire
mouth of February, which continues at the
present writing. An unusual amount of
grain is being sown In the vicinity of Weston
this season. In this neighborhood (six miles
west of Weston) the farmers are sowing tlax
principally. Ttils is as good lor wheat as
the lands uerer Veston,but the devastations
iv the squirrels for two successive years
tiavd Induced the farmers, In the outskirts of
,0 1 the settlements to resort to a crop that the
soulrrtH will not molest.
Klax has not been cultivated very exten
sively heretofore In thU section, but enough I
was sowu last season to demonstrate its en-1
tire success. Your correspondent resides in I
v hat is known here as the squirrel district, ,
and to show you the extent of devastation
ctused by this pest I will refer to a single,
.case. Mr. K. Al. Mansfield, residing live
miles west of Weston, sowed fifty-two acres
of wheat from which be harvested one ton ,
of hay. Many of our farmers have sold out 1
and left with no motive whatever save to get 1
rid of the squirrels. Kor some time our fu
ture has bet n gloomy Indeed; hut a brighter
rt Is now dawning. A machine has been
invented with which wa can exterminate
Chepwt. We have organized a club In order
to secure sytinatlo action. The result
ec in to have infused ne v life luto our clti
y.snu. In whatever direction we may gaze,
ore) see the plowshare baring to the suu the
virgin soil. Tnousauds of iturea will be
sown In wheat this fall where no grain was
ever before planted.

Kditoii Farmkii: Yesterday there 00
curred in this village, ono of those Incidents
which mark epochs In the historyof a young
community, and serve s land marks to
show the progressofour national civilization
in its westward course. When the May
lloner lauded her Utile band of determined
pilgrims on the eastern verge of the new
worl J, oue of their first acts, slgualbiliig their
existence as 11 community, was laying the
founduiouaud building thereon, an edllke
w herein to worship fiod. And the ollsprlng
ot that mother oil communities, which was ou
that eveutlul day born to this western conti
nent, has spread over the laud, until tbeo
ptouosisof civiliuloo, tin church and the,
sclio. 1 house, have rtwehed the remotest oc ,
cldeutal verge, ".vbere rolls the Oregon and '
hears no souud save his own dashings." '
And jist3rd.iv, In this plonear village,
anions the mountains, while the towering
ilrs like grim sentinels ever ou gusid over
looked tho scene, was laid the corner stone
of tho lirxt church in this pleasant valley.
The Iter. .. Cook, 1). 1) , a Universalist min
ister late of Detroit, has boon for nearly a
J'6ar, laboring in connection with a few
mombers nnd friends of that sect, to build a
church here, aud has so far succeeded that
the tiujbors are now 011 the ground, the
corner laid, and the building will rise there
ou in due time. Tho day was charade: Istlo
of this rainy winter, and tho 1.1U1 descended
alike on thojust aud the unut, of the good
ly number that were gathered to assist aud
witno's the eeroniony. The ladies drew
their shawU closely about them, and the
mou In their rugged pioneer manhood, stood
tlrm as the loiest trees niMinut the storm;
and when the minister bared bis groy head
to invoko the diviuu blessing upon their H
bois, the pitiless lain pelted tho uncovered
crowns ot every stuidy citien present.

That Question.
Mr. Editor: Tho question lu the Kakmkk
of March 3d, taken from the Slaleiman of
Mayllth, 1800, by H. B. May of Oregon
City, was made for the bouellt of all concern
ed, and especially for W. H.T.of Aumsvllle,
Oregon. The beginning point, which Mr.
May did not furnish, was Jan. Is', 1841).
Let me furnish another practical example.
J. M. B. who lives not far from Silvertou,
Marion Co. Oregon, is 70 years old. He ad
mits that he has spent at least twelve dollars
a vear, for the last GO years, for tobacco.
Suppose, Instead of spending his money for
tobacco, he had, each year, loaned the money
at twelve per cent, per annum, compound
interest, what would be the amount?
I hope the farmer's boy, H. A. Cornell, of
Portland, who divided the stick of timber so
nicely, does not chew or smoke tobacco, and
that he will give us a solution of this ques
tion. Or, suppose a man begins at 20 and
continues its use till tie is CO, as above; what
would be the amouut7
W. Porte i .
Aumsvllle, March 0. 1870.
Ko. Farmer: In looking over the last
number of your paper I saw an article which
stated a tobacco consumer spent money
enough each year to buy a cow. Now, sup
posing that he bought a cow on the first of
January I860, aud one each succeeding year
until the nrst of January 1873, he would
bavc 15 cows, and a rough estimate shows
that the profits derived from the sale of the
steer calves and the money placed on inter
est uutll the first of January, 1870, with the
mouey derived from the sale of all the cons
and calves, he would have the snug little
sum of 20,010, which would make many a
poor uibteco user comparatively rich. To
bacco consumers, take notice.
