Editor Willamette Farmer:
Leaving home on the 10th of Novembor,
andUklng the Btayton atago for Turner'
SUtlon, I arrlrod In time for tho tram to Al
bany. I notlcod aouae Held of flax that wore
bolng wlnterod over without harvesting.
We passed through a delightful country,
and arrived at Halsoy about ouo o'clock,
and Nlators MoMlchaol, Klsor, and Taylor
were on the platform to wolcomo mo, with
the drango alroady In session, llro. Mq
Mlchaol was proaldlng, and thore wa a good
atlondanco, notwlthalandlng tho Incoasant
rain. Tho oxorolsoa woro qulto Intoreitlng.
Among tho speakers, wo noted Uros. Klsor,
Master of Charity Drango, McClure, Mastor
or Grango No. 10, Portor, Mailer of Peoria
Drango, Dr. Brackens, lato of Missouri. Tho
Drango horo has a modol co-operative utoro,
litorally filled with goods, And thrto clerks
busy. After tho Drango closed, wo wont
homo with Bro. and Slstor Klser, andsuob
oordlal pooplo aro pleasant to moot. You
may bo suro thoy have a fine farm hero.
Next morning, Bro Klsor took mo on my
Journey to Bro. MoMlobaol's. On our way,
I obierved a fine Held of fall wheat lltorally
surroundod with wild geeso, but tho Held It
aolf was " twlnod " in auoh a mannor that
tho goeso could not alight in It. This was
now to mo, and porbaps could bo adopted by
many farmers with profit. Whllo erjoylng
tho hospitality of Bro. and Slstor Mo., tho
rtuosllon of who Aunt Mohopsaboth is, was
dlsoUNsod. I gavo thorn Slstor Mohnpsa
both'a regards, and told thorn wo would hoar
from her soon. Bro. Mo. took mo (o Harris-
burg, six mlloH further. On tho way, I saw
mvoral machlnos standing out In tho llold.
This Is cortalnly bad policy, but of courso
thoy did not bolong to Drangorn. Wo no
tlcod Hint Bro. Mo. had built n good, sub
stantial mnchluo-houo, nnd his machinery
was all nicoly Housed. Wo cortalnly think
such it one could bo built with profit on ov
ory largo farm.
Llarilsburg Is well Hlttiatod on tho river,
and ImHHomo ovhloncos of substantial pros
perity. Wo took dinner with n Brother who
knows how to kiop n hotel. Wo hero look
tho cars for Kiigono City. I'asslng along, I
could not holp thinking how strange that
nuy ono should bo dSsatlstlod llh our lovo-

On arriving at Kitgono, I could not hot)) ex

well located here; tho thu studontH ntimlior

Htoppod ut tho hotel, mid for tho first tltno In

City must bo u g.iy. good-humored, festlvo

wont homo with him. Ho Is mirroiuuloit by
an Intorcsllng iiitnlly, and 1 bociimo niiioh
aiUithutl to IiIh oxcollunt wllV). On nrilvlng
at tho Drongo hall, wo found tho mcothtg

innnT After tin btttiiiM-H of tho Conn
ell was over, wo no-opted Iho hospitality of
Bro. nml Slstor Bolshaiv, and went with thorn
to their Hun farm, whiro llro. Belshaw hus
llU'riilly Aurroumliul his homo with hrnuti

On arrUlngatSiloui, on our wny hotuo,
wo found no co-operative store, .but wo did
find n froo rldo In tho Chomtikota Hotel. I
bellovn gliosis aro not oharuod either to or
fiom tho hotel, lu their omnibus, and wo did
fool quite at homo hero, tho bout kept hotel,
porlmps, In nil Oregon the rooms nro so

After rusting bore awhile, wo found our
old homo in tin boautiful Waldo Hills,
somewhat wearied with travel, but with tint
llrm conviction that tho Orange Is a perma

grander result than aro yet dreamed of by

Our valley Is not tho least among tho many

Coos Bay for coal whon mon como In with

good farming laud as there is under tho suu,
tho soil rich aud fertile, producing every
thing that will grow lu Oregon, and as much
of It. All It wants Is men and women who
will work for tholr living, and they can
make aa good a living here as any whore In
Oregon, and the reason wu don't raise more

hv, without mnoh hard work. Tills valley

YYu want nioro machinery here than wo

A reading farmer, abook farmer, Is simply
he who avail himself of facta already
demonstrated by men of thought and prac
tice, thua giving him greater strength and
nansnltvln llfn'a work, and flavintt to him
the chagrin of failure, the loss or valuable
time In isbnrlnir in anlvn oroblems by him
self alone. And how shall this best bo done?
Plainly by reading standard bookaand well
conducted agricultural Journals, as well ns
by meeting together aud dlcusslngmothocls
of culturo and practice. Tho accumulated
knowledge orthe world should be utilized ns
far as pcsslblo by each Imlivldual. Man is
suporlor to tho lower animal mainly from
tho fact that ho can avnll himself of tho
recorded e.tperlonco of others, who havo pro
codod him, for his guldanco, and hence does
not noed to commence at tho bottom round
of the loddor oaoh time. The man who does
not thus avail himself of such opportunity,
signifies Lis willingness to bo a child of
knowledge, to be a slave to Ignorance, to
spend bis llfo and strength In vain battling
with nature's forces, which wiser heads have
loarnod to conquer In a for easier manner.

IN-and In ltiiKKDiso. As a good deal on
this subject has occurred In tho Agricultural
Qa:ttteut late, I beg to sta'o a point of breed
ing whlohoime under my notleo tho other
week, i. e., one of our small Hook masters
was iiellverinir some roursiioar wethers from
the Moor flock. All parties who saw them
admired them greatly, nnd, of course, tho
master was questioned as to how he got such
astounding sheep, and the answer was that
they were never pampered or Inllulged, but
when they had a good ram forgetting, they
did not part with hlni asn deal of people do,
changing every two years or so. The last
ram, which they were utlmrnow, they had
In service for six years, and tho ram before
was his sire, and thoy had used him eight
years. Those wethers wereof the North York
shire Moor, and will weigh, when lit for tho
butcher, IS to 3) pounds por quarter.
A curious detail from the Shlpku Pass Is
reported by a llussUn eye-witness: "The
llrst detachment of pioneers which had
reached tho crest of tho pass bad erected
i hero a wooden pot, surmounted by the
Iluxslau t-agle, aud bad burled btneath It
about fifteen roubles' worn of ltusslan
wins, 'Now. your Honor.' said to me oue
of the soldiers, 'we have cot ltuslan pi ope r
ty In this soli. We have a right not to
return It.' " Those words sounded Ilka a
prediction; It Is around that pot ami the
"Kussl.ui property" beneath It that lor ten
daysandas many nights ouo of the most
terrltlo and stubborn balllea reconUd lu
modern warfare has ben railing.
The Kentucky hive Slock Jieeonl having
rsserted, that whenever It was stated that n
pound of butter was made from less than
sevcu pounds of milk, there was either a
mistake or a folsehood. Judge Hayes, nl
Cllntou, Iowa.cotnea to the front with the
assertion that he would not keep n Jersey
cow on hi farm that, durjug the Winter
mouths, would not do better than that. He
further say, that aix pound of milk from

The Growth of Bomo.
Slnco the removal oTThe capital to Rome,
the population has Increased nearly lOO.W"
It is now over 285,000, and, although, owing
to tho scarcity of houses, rent and the
general expenses of living are higher thftn In
other cities of Italy, it continues to grow.
Tho first lino of a street ralway from the
Porta del Popolo to tho Ponto Molle, about
two and a half miles, has boen opened to
faollltato the movement, and others aro n
contemplation. Senator Rossi, in order o
supply the want of houses, has onlored into
a contract with the municipality for the con.
atructlon of a new quarter on the hiqulllno,
chiefly for tho working classes. Ho asks no
privileges or compensation except tho eon
cession ol tho site, some seven nere, and lie
promises todivldo with tbo local authorities
all oxcoss of profit over flvo par cent. In

Peruvian Syrup.
Brooke, Me., Sept. 7, 1870.
Dear Sir From early youth I was in feeble
health, troubled with humor in my blood,
weakness and debility of tbo system goner
ally ; was tinablo to labor much, and only at
sotno light business, ond thou only with
great caution. Sovon years ago, tho past
spring, I had a sovoro attack of Diphtheria
which loft my limbs paralizod and usoloss,
so I was unablo to walk or ovon sit up.
Noticing tho advortlsoment of Peruvian
Si-nun, I concludod to glvo It a trial, and to
my groat joy soon found my hoalth Improv
ing, I continued tho uso ot tho Syrup until
threo bottlos had boen UBed, and was restor
ed to com plo to hoalth, and havo remained
so to this day. I attribute' my prosent
health ontlroly to tho uso of Peruvian
Syrup, and hold ft in high estimation. I
cannot speak too highly in It nralso. I
hayo in sovoral cases recommended it In
cases very similar to my own with the eamo
good rosullB.
