Ri -v - , jj.'ta1 Jf : ' v,,ijf -,y 7 'J a T1- niiii'i ' j i S - X Deversified Farming. Tho Urccloy (Colorado) Tribune given the following excellent notice of B. S. I.i Grange, Master of Cache La I'outlre Orange, which is so much to the point that wo take pleasure in reproducing It. "First, he will devote fifteen or twen tyacres to corn, fecjuafehes and pens; ee ond.thc will have n good stock of profit able hog; ay twenty or thirty spring pigs, which arc to be fed peas and i-nuuMies -o f-oon as fit, nnd nlo on the waste milk from the dairy. Thiid, lie will keep ten or twenty cow. , and raise onlv heifer calves the other -ort of valves being sent to the butcher, bring ing fiom ib to S8 a held, thus, tnese spring pigs are to be brought up by means of the pen-, squaMics and waste ,,. . .t- .in. ...!. ......l. i.. r.ll mine, 10 weign iu" wuuui luiii uv i.ui, and then when corn Is fit to be fcd.they I are to be pu'heu, and by I)iifnilipr jJCLemoer iivA they will weigh from iMlto.lUO pounds. Thfi hog crop will be worm from s-boo to $1,00U, and tho heifer talves and butter, Wdo, more, makinga total of not less than 51,200 lrom twenty ncies of land, while other crops can be grown to the amount of several hundred dollar-. Tills plan, so presented in the outline looks extremely well, as there are lc-s ehances for failure, than anyother,since wo all well know that the crops named out 1)0 grown with tolerable certainty whether we have grasshoppers or not. Therefoie, we are not to consider whether wo would be better off if we had no railroads, but wc arc to consider what can bo produced by skill and in itustry, which will be worth ten cents a pound against two cents a pound, giown by our present system. What our fanners need, above all other things is to make two or three thousand dol lars In the same number of years, so as to become a little Independent; after that they can sail along with flying colors." ALiTTi.KamiiGivJSs Liskai:i.i as Ait(i(JMi:NT. Whatever may be tho final action of the British Parliament on tho bill to irivo Queen Victoria the title of Empress of India, the lising generation in that country Is being educated to regard tho title as belong ing to their sovereign. This fact was shown by Mr. Disraeli in a recent speech on the bill, when, alluding to the Dumber of letters he had recieved, all bearing upon tho subject, ho said lio would allude to but two. One refer red to a prominent almunac which adds tho title to thoso of the Queen. Tho other, ho said, was written to him by a lady, and ho thought no mignt com municate Its contents without compro mising himself or tho lady for whom ho entertained sentiments of warmth for ability displayed. Tho writer of tho letter had lived to the age of twelve years, and had nnnlyzed tho novelty of tho title, Empress of India. She wrltos: "What'sllly men you arc in l'arlia- mont. I havo known that title for ' three years; It Is in ray geographical book." Laughter. Tho book alluded to in this note was i.uod in 187., is in Its eighty-ninth edition and in tho hands of something , like a quarter of a million of children. Tho statement It makes involving this matter of tho Imperial title is that "British Indlu is under tho dominion of Great Britain. Her Majesty bears tho title of Empress oflndiu." Doni". Enouoh tor his Col'xtuv. An old American Itevolutionory sol dier was a canidato for Congress, and Ills opponent was a young man who "had never been to tho wars," and it was tho custom of tho old soldier to tell of hardships ho had endured. Said he: "Fellow citizons, I havo fought and bled for my country. I have helped to whip tho British nnd Indians. I have slept on tho Held of battle with no other coverniug than the canopy of heaven. 1 havo walked over tho froen ground till overy footstep was marked with blood." Just about this time, one of tho voters, who had become grealty interested In his tide of suflerlngs, walked up to tho speaker, wiped tho tears from his eyes with tho extremity of tils coat tall, and interrupted him with, "Did you say you had lout tho British and InginsV'v "Yes, sir." "Did you say you had slept on tho ground wlillo sorvlng your country, without any klver'."' "Yes," replied tho speaker xuitingly. "Well, then," said tho truthful speakor, as ho gave a sigh of pent-up emotion, "I guess I'll vote for t'other fellow, for I'll be hanged if you httin't done enough for your country." Soanhaij. It wns tho saying of an eld acquaintance of ours, when his at tention was called to anything that had A smacking of Hyundai in It, "I have so much to do that I cannot hear it. One half my time is taken up with my own business, the other half with lottlmr alone that of my neighbors." How many excellent opportunities of lotting ulouo other people's business are slight od, and the world Is troubled with tho Jntorl'eroneoof people with what does not concern them! Neighborhoods are driven um.y by reports of idle or mis hi!vnu4 people who watch for occa sions for scandal, and loso no oiinortii- aity of making it public, regardless of ittjtruth, or ot tho, injury it mulcts up on tho feelings of others. Gossip pass es for faet, nnd surailso fur history. "It is not our fault," says n Milwau kee editor, "thtit wo are red-headed una small, nnd the next time one of tioee overgrown rural roosters in a ball room reaches down for our hoad nnd .midia tlmt usiiyia fttlfnu? Iitw tfvat it rosebud out of hla buttonhole, there M-JII bo tronblo." I A Profitable Hog. Tho following description of a profit able hog was reported by the committee at the Swine Breeder's Convention at Indianapolis, Ind.: He must have a small, (-horthcail, heavy jowl, and thick, short neck; ears small, thin, and toler able erect, not objectionable if they droop slightly forward, must bo straight from the neck back to flank; must be let well down to the knees in briket; of irood length from head to tail: broad on the back: ribs rather barrel shaped; must bo slightly curved or arched in tho back from the shoulder to the sett ing in of the tail; tall small; long in the ham from back to letting off the loins ; shoulder not too large to give symmetry to the animal, ham broad and full: hair smooth and evenly set on skin soft and elastic to the touch: legs short, small and well set under; bro.wl between the lei's: trood denth between bottom and ;.i- .. i..- ...i.t ! .ir .,. m.. "T"1 me ot?i uii iiun-i tuiiijsuiuii, ti. i.i . ii. .. i, onu inn lbs. gross, at 1- or 18 months old, ac couling 'o keep, color black or whlte,or u mixture of the two. The above tie scribed hog will measure as many feet feet from the top of the head to etting on of tail, as he does around the body, and will meaure as many inches around the below the knee, as he does feet In length around the body; depth of body will be four-fifths of his height. The following horse talk is, at least, iiuciici ueje nuiun uiuiej limn uvu iji -jie rational and worthy of consideration: "Suppose you were in the harness, and I were In the wagon, I had tho whip and you the traces, what an anient ad vocate you would be forklndncss to the irrational caeation'.' Do not let the blacksmith drive the nail into the quick when he shoes me. or burn my fetlocks with a hot tile. Do not mistake the "dead-eye" that nature put on my fore leg for a wart; to be exterminated. Do not cut off my tall short In fly-time. Keep the north wind out of our stables. Care for us at some other time than during epizootics, so that we may sue your kiudnes is not selfish. My dear friends, our interests are mutual. I am silent partner in your business. L'uder my sound hoof is tho diamond of na tional prosperity. Beyond my notirl the world's progress may not go. With thrift, and wealth, and comfort, I daily race neck and neck. Be kind to me, if you want mo to be useful to you, Rixics ron tub Centknwial. Among tho interesting relics of more than 100 years ago, to do exhibited at the Centennial Exposition, is the print ing press at which Benjamin Franklin worked In London, when a journey man printer there in 172.V20. The press has remained in England all these years, and will be exhibited in Frank lin's native country for the first time during the coming summer. Among tho relics of more modern days is the plow made on the Daniel Webster farm at Franklin, New Hampshire, under tho great Granger, Daniel's, supervisi on, and partly by Daniel himself, which is to be sent to the Centennial. From the Albany Democrat we learn that a civil engineer has been engaged to mark out a town at Smith's Ferry on tho north fork of the Santiam. There is not a prettier or more lovely snot in Oregon for n summer report or site for maiiulactories, and as it lies at tho com mencement of the route over the MInto pass, it may yet be a town of consider able importance. We learn that the name of the new town will probably be called "Weatherford," in honor of J.W. Weatherford, Esq., of Salem.who last year bought property there for a summer residenco in anticipation of that locality being selected at some futuro day for a post town ami rural village. A correspondent of the lit porter says: "Amity has had a proposition to extend tho O. C.,It. R. on to that place, and they liaYo accepted the terms and now wo aro going to have a railroad at last. There is no section of country that needs it worse than this vicinity. The time occupied in hauling off tho hun dreds of thousands of bushels of grain hero in the fall of tho year may now be occupied in putting in fall grain, besides the business of the road will be doubled by this short extension.' There will bo in the vicinity of a half a mil lion bushels of grain to ship from this point, besides the other products of this agricultural region." Tin: Cui.tuui: oktiu: Arri.cnoxs. There is a famous tisage in the writings of Itousseau, that great de lineator of tho human heart, which is as true to human nature as it is true and beautiful in expression. Ho says: "Were I in a desert. I would find some, thing to call forth my affections. If I could do no better, 1 would fasten them upon some melancholy cypress. I would write my name upon them, and dodaro that they wore tho sweotost trees in all tho wilderness. If their loaves withered, I would teach myself to mourn, and when they rejoiced, I would rejoice with them. A niaro thirty-three years old is In daily uso In Baltimore. She is so well preserved that four or five years agn a conuois.sour in horse-flesh made a sur vey of her points, more particularly subjecting her teeth to a careful scruti ny, aud then sagely announced that slut was Just four years of age. He also offered to break her for a moderate compensation. Tho most easy way of keeping hums perfectly is to wrap and tie them in paper, and pack them in boxes or bar rels with ashes. The ashes must fill all interstices, but must not touch the hams, as it absorbs the fat It keeps them sweet, aud protects from all kinds of Insects. Commencement exercises of tho Pacif ic University, at Forest Grove, will comuipnco on Monday, tho fifth of June, closing on Wednesday, tho 7th, The various exercises will Iks interest ing as usual, consisting of lectures be fore the alumni and literary societies, and nf the cniduatinir class. lne graduating class for this year is ns fol lows: Miss Ella Watt, II. Tamlro, J. T. Martin, Kin Saito, Agero, Xosca. Edward Atkinon completed his course also, but will not be present, having sraHrwl 1 mfln.it ivootr siarieii j-asr. lasi wcck. ,. t,. '. ., ... ,, ,,. 'I ho J,nlcrprw mys: Itoiii all P'Jits, of Clackamas county ;wc are receiving the gratifying intelligence that tho fall grain has never looked bettor within the memory of the oldest settlers. The fine Weather that We at present are! enjoying is also a godsend for the far mers and they are taKing luivuumgu ui it; the plow and harrow arc running in every direction, nnd a fair spring crop will probably be put in. The farmers of Clackamas county intend to keep their wen deserved reputation ior ruiswu good crops. The residents of Upper, Molalla nnd vicinity, Clackamas county, aro making arrangements to celebrate tho forth coming Centennial anniversary in grand style. One of tho principal fea tures of jho day Is to be an old-fashioned barbecue. The site selected for the occasion is tho spring between the Molalla bridge and Wright's house. Col. Geo. K. Shiel, of Salem, and Mr. C. F. Beatie, of Oregon City, two well known speakers, aro expected to speak on this "glorious occasion." In pursuance of a call for the shcep raiseis of Wasco eountv to meet in convention on Monday, the 5th day of May, to deliberate on the feasibility of organizing a wool-growers' association for the promotion of the wool-growing interests ot Eastern Oresron. which has become onu of the leading industries of ims portion 01 our nouriiiiug ouuc, . good representation was present. Messrs. Floyd, Wclle3 and Dufur were appointed to frame a constitution aud by-laws for the government of an asso ciation, to report at lue next meeting. The Antoriun or the Sth says: Mr. Elnberger caught ninety fish at one drift, last Friday night, and on taking up his net found six docks in it, which had become entangled in the meshes while diving and were drowned, s0 .says a fisherman, Wilson captured H'O fine salmon last night, for Kinney's llshery; 1,150 fish were taken in at that fishery before noon to-day, and they were numbered by hundreds at all other lisherics along the river, so far as heard from. A letter from Stevens county, W. T , dated May 1st, says: "There is still considerable snow in tho mountains, nearly or quite as much as there was four weeks ag.. We aro having a great deal of rain. Grass Is excellent; nearly all the grain is sown, and much more than over before. There are quite a number of persons looking around for locations, and most of them talk ns though tltey were well, pleased with the country, ami tho only fault found is tho lack of market. " The lust great storm which swept over Colorado and adjoining Territo ries "was very disastrous to herds in the sparsely settled parts of New Mexi co. In the vicinity of Las Cruees and Las Vegas the storm was terrific, and sheep perished by thousands. One man lost 750 head out or a herd of .'1,000, and others suffered in the same projKir tion. It is the most disastrous blow that the sheep Interests of New Mexico have sustained for years. The Owyhee Acutaiicic says: A chunk of rock weighing over one hun dred pounds was taken from the win.o in the Maggio mine nt Francodl City a few days ago. It boars evidence of being unusually rich, abounding in streaks that will assay from three to four thousand dollars to tho ton in sil ver. Parts of it aro almost solid sliver, and it is said to be ono of tho richest specimens that has yet come to tho surface in Owyhco. Tho man reported to have boon killed by Deputy Sheriff Hawk during the recent outbreak nt tho Steilacoom penitentiary, was only dangerously wounded and is fast recovering. The last one of tho escaping prisoners has been recaptured, so all they gained was some severe wouu'ds and bruises anil additional Irons and more severe dis cipline. This chap was Iroin Derby Ind. He Imught a $2 accordion, and was sitting on the levee pumping "Mollle Darling" out of it when the goat came along. The music stopped, tho man fell, and the accordion looked like an elephant had tramped on it. Goats, aa a general thing, don't like to hear music that has to be squeezed out of a snutf box. Tilton B. Scott aud John W. Miller were arrested ut Boise City a short time ago as tho parties who have been robbing the stage in that vicinity late ly. They wore held to anwer In the sum of $3,000 each, and in default ol which they were committed to jail. A story is told of n venerable negro in Iowa who was on trial for an offense against tho State- When the case was announced In Court, "The State of iowii versus sumpsou uesar," The agea African exclaimed: "What! de whole State of Iowa agin, d is chile! Den I sur renders." uj The -theory of a Connecticut doctor is, "After a person has hetui in a trance for five days aud cmi't be urousod, he or tbo is pruvUculiy doud."
