Tho peoplo have no use for 1 Journal, or a Journalist, that stands in fear of monopoly or bows down to money or place. What you want Is a fearless advocate, and such we have striven to be, and shall con tinue to be, so long as we live. Tho first newspaper in Oregon to denounce tho com bination which has taken control of the Willamette river and closed the locks, was the Willamette Fabmlu. It has and will give you tho most reliable market reports. We shall ask and desire no support save such as the people can legitimately give, and we submit to your consideration whether your own interests do not demand that this journal, which has served you all so ably and fearlessly In the past, shall receive a united support that will enable us to serve you still better In the future. Oregon with its limited population and un developed resources, is only capable of sup porting one agricultural newspaper and experience has certainly proved that the Farmer is that one. We have only to say that we shall give you as good a newspaper as your patronage enables us to make. THE WILLAMETTE FARMER. The farming community, at the present time, are much exercised concerning the ad vantages to be derived from union and co operation in sustaining their own interests, uul we present to the consideration of tho Agriculturists of Oregon the inquiry, if union of effort on their part cannot be most consistently exercised In connection with journalism, and we ask the careful attention of all readers while we recite the claims wo believe the Willamette Farmer has to their undivided support and entiro con fidence. THE KEEDED NEW IPAI'ER, At this time, when every branch of trade anil feature of commerce nud manufactures is represented by its own journals, it will not be questioned that the great producing class constituting the farming community, need ami must have their own independent news papers. Those exist, and generally com mand the confidence of tho people, and one token ot the growth and power of Agricul tural Interests is the Increasing circulation, and consequent iutltionce and ability, ot the rural press in all the United States. Comrooree suppoih journals of its own; olilic.s claims a large portion of the preBs of the nation as its votaries, and the poopleat large have reason to desire to be in a meas ure independent of journals published in the interest of trade, which depends on their support, and also of the politicians who seek to lead us all in the thraldom of party. They utted a journalism not owned by trade and independent of the tricks and schemes of ixdiUclaus, WHAT WE OITEK. During the more than four years iu which we havo conductod the Willamette Farm 1 1; we have steadily liillllled what we have elived to be the prime object desired in a family and farm journal. We have supplied reliayo news; have lent no aid to combined capital or to conspiring monopoly; have looksd to the larmeis of Oregon ior support s"tul depended only on them lor existence. iJiiring that time public fat or granted as our course has inspired respect and confi dence bis trebled our circulation, and the Knowlpdgo of this Increased support has more than doubled our adveitising pation ae. We have to-day a larger circulation than me year ago, Bud have no doubt that the t-ady increase of the past will continue in ILe iuturo. THE PATBOX-. OP m'sU:IUY.

Unfortunately the American average farm er knows very little of the great value of root crops as food for both man and beast. Those who have learned to grow them with the greatest economy of land and labor have long since become satisfied of the great pro fit lu their use, and appreciate the benefit they confer on all animala that consume them. In some parts of the United States, for a quarter of a century, root crops have occupi ed a very respectable place in .farming, and indicate an increasing appreciation of their value. If the keeping and feeding of live stock upon the most economical and success ful plan be the object of the farmer, then the importance of loot culture Is apparent. The mangolds are prominent among the different kinds of roots grown tor stock. There are several varieties, as the uorbetan giant, long red, yellow globe, and new kinds recently Introduced. The mangold islound to yield more tons per aore, and when led to cows, to cause a greater tlow of milk than any of the roots commonly grown as field crops. Well prepared sandy loam iu the best land for this crop. The best pulverized and manured lands alone will produce a large reliable crop; sow in drills twenty-two inchea apart and work well so as to keep down weeds and grass until about the middle ot July,tt hen the plants will protect themselvos October is the time to harvest the roots. The yield of mangold in England is marvel ous seventy-five tons per acre is not un unfrequent crop, and in New Itngland and New York over fifty tons per acre have been raised. The carrot crop Is also well worth the con sideration of farmers, as perhaps no root is better adapted to constitute a portion of the food for horsea, ronles,--cattle ftlicThogs'. It gives the best flavor to milk and butter, and greatly promotes tho Ilow of rich, creamy milk during the winter ceason. Turnips, and particularly the rutta baga, stauds pre-eminent as stock food; perhaps no other vegetable can be to cheaply produced as, the ruta bnga turnip, or takes up .such lit tle room on the farm. It Is howu from the middle to tho last of Juno, after all 'other crops are piantod, and will grow between the rowsof corn, and will llouriHh 011 lighter soil and with less manure than uiauRold. Frosts will not damage them, and uvon if ther are not housed until Christmas, they will still do for use. The common Dutch or 1'uglish turnip, also, like the ruta bagu, mckes excellent food for both maiinnil beast. Slock fed largely on root.s will bo more healthy, more easily fattenodi moio cheaply fed, mid produce more and hotter milk, than if fed exclusively on buy ami grain. In Kngland ami Kurope no farmer ever thinks of keeping stock without root-food, and no farmer rauks hit root crop of los impor tance than ho does his grain ciop, lloetu, while good for stock food, have become ho very popular as a sorghum or sugar produc ing vegetable, that throughout i:uropa it Is notf r fed to btoCk until thnjiilieswjnxtrac! ed, ami nothing but tho pulp Ik lott. lu the United Sutes "beet f-ugar" lu almont un known, but tho tiino will u)ine,bsfoio many yoars, whoniho great Mipply of sugar lor homo coufumption will bo mp.de from the beet-roolB that will be grown in all parts of our tast domain.

MAGAZINES. CUSTER'S LAST ENGAGEMENT. The following letter has been received by James Mauuioti, Detroit, from his son .Tames who ttas an eye-tvltuoss of the Custer mas sacre. It is the only account of that teiriblo atlatr yet written by a witness of it, and de tails mauy incidents not yet giveu to tho public: CCSlEIlV DILVTlt STKl'l.Ol.K. At lat, when half his command had beou killed, he called on those that remained to follow him, and dashed boldly through tho red devils. It was running tho gauntlet ol at least 2,000 rilles for tiie whole distauco. Ills men did not follow him, and wheu he got through he found himself alone with a siugle Crow Indian, one of his scouts, lie would not leave his met) to perish atone, and, and turned to go back, but the Crow, recognizing that such a movement would be fatal, grabbed hfa horse and implored hi m not to go back. CUSTER ONLY nAVUHKD, and putting tho reins of his horse be tween his teeth, with a revolver iu each hand, he gave a wild cheer, aud dashed back through the hell of smoke and Hying bullets. As if by miracle he reached the remnant of his command, which was now reduced to forty men. Calling on these survivors again to follow him, which the example and suc cess of his former charge disposed them to do, he led them lrom their place of peril over the path of his solitary chaigo. That whs tho last seen of them until the battle was over, when the whole party, with Custer in their midst, were found stark aud dead within a circular rampart formed by their horses' bodies. They had evidently at the last moment made up their minds to -ell their lives dearly, shot their horses, aud then raising them as breastworks, fought on with the vigor and despair until the fast man was dead. What they suffered, and what they did within the fatal circle will ever re main locked In mystery. Of all Custer's men only the Crow scout above mentioned and a sergeant ot Company 1 ecaped. From the descriptions iu the papers you cannot immagme the horror of the coue af ter tho battle. I went over it with the artist as the dead lay lu heaps whern they fell, and I shall ever remember it. CJeneral Ctuitor was found with all his clothes upon him, but his two brothers weretairibly mutilated. When the tight was iu progress the I ml Liu squaws would rush in among the wounded soldiers and beat out their brains with olnb.. A KAHL1-OI.D LU'K. A remarkable story Is told of the fearful scene at the death of Charles l'eynolds, Custer's chief scout, and the best nnot on the Missouri Kit or. He was shot off the back of his horse, and In tailing caught the horse aud killed him, aud making a breastwork of the beast's body, he commenced a terriblo slaughter of the Indian,. He lay behind his horse dying and still aliootlng, and eve ry shot he fired, his deadly Aim wilt a sav age to the devil.

A farmer of Kent County, Ilugland, at the close of the dry, hot summer of 3iT0 had 3Tb lambs on his larni which, in consequence of the drought and fuilure rf the irru- crop, was heavily oteistocked.
