Editor Wlllamotto F.irmor:
For Foreral months your very roadaWo
paper has found its wy to my oddross
thanks to somo kind frlond aud It has been
read, aud uflon re-read, with a great deal of
pleasure and prollt, not only to myself but
to others. I Und tho people bore very In
qulsllivoas to tho cllmato and agricultural
productions of Oregon, aud often tho best
iiuawor I can tnako to tholr Inquiries Is to
haiid them a copy of tho WitXAUKTrK Fau

Information wanted. Owing to ourill'jrtet
tho Contenulal, I a 01 continually mooting
many porsonj who, seemingly, cannot apeak
lit two high terms of our productions. A
very lino scholar aud pomologlst of this
pi it co, lells mo that, whllo at PiitUtdnlpbla,
ho ntftdo rtpoclal itotlco of our exhibits, aud
that ho was surprised Ht Ihotr superior ex

iivinu ndvorttsoinouts for Oregon I havo met
nlneu leaving there last spring.
Although much has been done to bring
ourStutolulo favorable notion, much romaltis
to Im done, for, ns yet, tho generality of peo
ple know hut little about It; mid oven in this
westorn country I am often aaked, ' Do you
grow apples In Oregon?'1 ' Is it much cold

tho team lo como, that I might show tho drl
ver whro to deliver It, tho overseer invited

accepted, as it was biting cold without. Af
ter wo wore comfortably seated around tbo
lire, Iho ovortetr, knowing I was from Or
ojjon, began to quiz mo about our crops. Af
tor satisfy loir hiHcuriotdiy as to the number
of bushels of wheat and oatn wo could raise
to tho aero, ho asked mo what wo did with
all our grain, lo whlnli I replied that we
shipped a great deal of our wheat dirt oily 10

Und loading with gialu. That was too inuali
for him. How In tho world slesmera could

LOSS OF ASQOBA O0AT3.
IMItor Wlllametle Farimr:
I wish to enquire or Iho mm who aro en
gaged In laUlug Angora goats, und tholr
crosses, on 'ho PhcIUj coast, through your
column, f any of them aro troubled with
their goats dying. TwoyoarH ago this wlnter
I lost 10 ho td; they would appear dull anil
M'.upld, and llually would lake tho scours,
anil If they wore renu'loa, esthoiiiOHtof them
were, thoy would drop an Immature kid, aud
soon nftor die. The males would take Iho
soours and die. Last wln'er, I lost 13 head.
Up to tho present tlmo this winter, I have
lost two, mid there are two others e Hooted.
I havo tried thu reiuetltos innutbuud In ltun
dall's Pracilcal Shepherd, hut up to this tlu e
have failed lo suvn a elnglo goat that was af.
footed. Uy oluuging Uiem 10 dry feed they
lat a good tleul longer, but Ihey finally go
oil. 1 havo opened some of thousand find
tho intestines badly attectod, Iu one, the
lungs were dU'jased, but thu lungs of all aro
not atr.Kjted, or ut lesvi not enough for mo lo
discover It. Two jhhm ago ihot.o that died
wero mostly feinalea, ono and two years old
and pist; lt 3 tar tlioy wtro thn oldrstowta
and tho April khU. ThU winter hi fur, thoy
am nld owes, wlih one exuepilon, anil that
wit-, lour j oars old. Now, il'aoy olyourcor
renpouilouis can give 11111 any ro edy, or
even tell mo whutiMiisos It, I will feel under
obligation-, in them.
Wo havo had up lo this tlmo a very lino
winter Mr farm operation; there is a ry
