American Bcof in England.
In mi Interesting paper furnished
m this week by Mr. Thomas Cross, lie
refers to a copy of nn English Journal
xenl liim by his nephews, who aro in
the meat trade- in the Old Country, and
Wo have read with grout interest the
graphic account, therein published, of
the introduction of American beef,
mutton and pork into the markets or
thogruul manufacturing city, Shollleld.
It is so interesting and furnishes such
a comprehensive account of the meth
ods and business of propurlug the beef
and shipping It to the Kngfish market,
that wo shall publish it next week.
The prophecy of Mr. Cross, that before
many years wo shall bo furnishing
beef for tlio English market, is not un
reasonable, ami his point is well mado
that we should bo Improving our herds
so as to furnish a better article of beef.
The Hhollleld paper and Mr. Cross's
letter allude to tho dlueroneo in values
between what is called American beef
and Texas beef. Tho latter Is similar
to the Spanish cattle that roamed over
tlie.se Willamette hills and prairies
twenty-live years ago, and such herds
the writer of this saw as he drove ids
ox team through this lino of valleys,
toward California, in 1S.11. That class
of cattle has nearly passed away, but
its impression still remains, and Mr.
Cross says truly whonlho urges tho ne
cessity of Improving all such stock. Iu
many instances the best plan would bo
to make them fat enough for beef, for
scrub Htock Jof all kinds are poor pro
perty. Mr. Cross means to show tho
necessity of improving this stock by
crossing with belter, and where a cow
has even tolerable points, no doubt
crowing willi thoroughbred would se
cure progeny that would make beef lit'
for any market. This improvement
must bo mnde to enable us to bo sue
('c-sftil stock-raisers in the near future.
Russia and Turkoy.
Of Into tho dispatches have llttlo to
nay about war measures on tho part of
Kus-du, and a great ileal to say about
tho reforms Turkey Is Instituting, very
much In accord with tho suggestions of
European powers. All these measures
leave loss excuse for the Czar to com
mence war, and the intimations are
that both the (V.ar and tho majority of
his subjects aro disposed for peace; that
Russian lluauces are not email to a war
standaid, and that the Russian army is
found to bo dellcient In many respects.
It is even charged that there has been
great corruption and swindling iu rela
tion to army contracts, mi that neither
in number or material Is the Russian
Empire situated to make otl'euslve
warfare. Also, It scorns to bo conceded
that the Turk can and will make a des
perate stand, and as ho will not be re
quired to take the olfenslve, it is cer
tain it will bo dilllcult to compter him.
"'rem able contemporaries wo hear
it stoutly assorted that there will be no
war In Europe the present summer,
and certainly tho news lor a fortnight
past has not been warlike.
War In Europe meaiw money iu the
pockets of Oregon farmers, to be sure,
and wo feel interested iu studying the
situation to determine for ourselves
what the result will tlually be. There
is too much charity In out hearts to
make us anxious that the nations
should wage war with all Its horrors, to
give us a better price for our surplus
hrcadstuirs while at the same time we
cannot help but recognize that their ca
lamity will bo our opportunity, Incase
war should be inaugurated. 1'uder
tho present aspect of atl'airs we may as
well conclude that war will not happen
immediately, and on tho part of hu
manity and modern civilization we
should hope that tho nations will 'learn
war no more.'

Tho Season.
On our tablo we to-day came acrcss
an old letter that wo had notlino lo
answer, wlioro a would-be immigrant
to Oregon asked several score of ques
tions, ono of which was: " When does
.Spring commence?" If wo had an
swored tills manifold qucstion-asker by
letter, instead of sending a bundle- of
documents, tho answer would have
been: wo ltavo had Spring nil Winter,
Willi green grass and farmers plowing
and putting In grain, and wheat-fields
planted early looking llko meadows in
May. Spring in Oregon has an endur
ing quality. Sometimes " Winter lin
gers in tho lap of Spring" through
March, not with frost and snow, but
with cold and inhospilnblo storms of
rain that aro sovero on stock. Febru
ary is a month when farmers generally
plow and sow wheat; Winter wheat at
that, and on nnlands put in oats and
even plant potatoes.
Tlio present Winter has been Spring
like, and farmers have utilized It to put
an extra area of land under cultivation.
March Is proving very rainy, and some
times oven stormy, but tho days aro
warm and not, therefore, hard on
stock. It is veiy likely that tno latter
part of tho month, nnd all of April and
May will bo favorable for sowing grain,
on low lands at least, hast season the
late-sown Spring grain was altogether
the most productive and best. Spring
crops of wheal generally do well.
At the present time the fruit buds
aro .swelling and almost bursting; plum
trees aro commencing to bloom, and it
is to bo hoped they won't bo caught by
a bad frost and ruined. Tho season is
said to bo a month ahead of last year.
Tho raspberry leaves have taken form
and the lilacs lu our dooryard will bo
in bloom befote long, if Nature main
tains the kindly countenance manifest
ed at ilio present time.
As proof of tho mildness of tho Win
ter wo state thai quite n number of
rosy-cheeked apples aro hanging on a
tree iu the garden of Mr. J. II. Moores
of this city. One of tue same ho pick
ed and brought to us, a few days ago,
that is as sound as It was last Novem
ber. I le should lot (he rest remain and
see how they will prosper.
That Oank. Tho very handsouio cane
presented by the cltlzenfl of Sulem nml
