Miter Willamette Farmer: I oo in your last itsuo Old (irant (tuck on tho paper, and jou went en filling up the paper with all his good deeds and forgot to toll any of his mean ones, not knowing tlat wo once knew him at The Pallet. Therefore 1 order you to stop the Faumer. at I don't want any such paper. I remain your old Democrat, Wm. C. McClubi:. Twj weeki ago the grcat eveat of the time wasthaaiiit of Gen. Grant. As this it a general newspaper, and niuc-tenthi even of Grant's political opponents recognize his great reputat!on and his services to the coun try at Urge, and at even Confederate ex oldicr took pain ts givo him aa ovation at San Francisco, wo supplied tho readers of this pajwr with tho current new, taking pains to exclude everything of a political na ture. What wo gave was now, and nothing .,..-. n,l tl. nl.mn letter shows that ono man in Oregon has more politic thau he has brains or respect for his country. If there is ever any politics of a partisan character in this paper, it should bo discountenanced by everyone, but no man who reads this paper know tho editor' politics by what he reads in it, though w unhesitatingly discuss all public questions on their merit. Good-bye, Mr. McClure! The back you owe us we charge to Gen. Grant. THE MECHANICS' I'Ain. During the past two week tho Mechanics' Fair has been held In Portland in tho largo pavilion built for that purpose in tho upper part of tho city. It ha been a lively scene, especially of ovculngs, when tho townspeople havo turned out to promenndo tho floors and galleries among tho many and varied objects presented. Tho show was in great part xiado by jnerchants and manufacturers who found this a convenient way to advertise their busi ness, anil besides thcro wcro many articles oxhlbitod of privnto valuo and Intrinsic merit that wcro worth notice. Wo havo taken less Interest In It than wo should If tlioso left to manage it had howi; omo consideration for exhibit ors from tho country, who wcro often treated with disrespect. Unfortunately the majority of tho directors left the chief management to men who wcro glaringly Incompetent. Thcro was a great dual of reasonable complaint in fact wo never heard so much complaint mado over an thing of tho kind, and it was duo to obvious mismanagement and continual dis. courtesy. Considerable nllowanco must bo mado for inexperience, and wo have no doubt tho di rectors will improve on tho management an other year and avoid fault that created an noyance thla year. Tho enterprise should be ccuductcd lu tho interest of tho public and not as a prlvato (peculation. Portland has wealth enough in tho present and ambition enough for its futuro to warrant that all uch affairs should bo conducted In a liberal spirit and managed with courtesy. Tho Stato Fair is managed and conducted by plain farmers, but they can teach lemons of management and order to tho individual who had charge of tho Mechanics' Fair here, yo. tho Stato Fair I ft much inoro complicated and embarrassing matter. Wo shall look for great improvement an other year hi all thce rospects, and hopo that thoso allowed to take charge In tho tuturo will recognise that the agriculture of this country I the mcature of it power and pros perity and not acorn to glvo the products of the aoil'both apaco and privilege. While wo talk plainly about the error of management and aro ready to prove) moro than we care to lay we do not wish nor in tend to ignore the great value of tho exhibit wade, its attractiveiics, axd its unexpected ucces. The futuro of the enterprise is as sured and the stockholder must have means enough from tho present Fair to warrant their covering the entire block with buildings for their use, anil another jear much moro room will bo needed. Thoro will naturally !o a greater rango cf manufactured goods, works of art, and articles of vertu oxhlbitod at Port land than at tho Stato Fair, thoi'gh the latter will not fall behiud in ccneral interest. It Is not probable that tho frequently oxprcssed wish will come to pats that theStato Fair will be removed to l'ortlaud, for if tin Society can hold its own under suoh adverse circumstan ce! as have attended it of late yciri, it can doubtless work out of all ita ditlicultie. The Mechanics Fair at Portland can be all it fricr.di may desire without being jealou of the other, and with the futuro growth and prosperity of Oregon will attiact thousands annually to attend it, and so catch a holiday glimpse of city life.

W. Thornton, Freeport, W. T., who hat theso roots for eale. To give his views we publish below hll private letter, which, though not intended for publication, gives better than we call hl views and objects, The doctor say i "If tbi enterprise lusceml I intend to ao cUuutizo tho various improved seeds that are from timo to time brought before the pub lic, and introduce them on thi coatt. "I experimented with the 'Defiance' wheat thlt icason, but will not have enough to paro for eed till next year, when I will bring it under the notice of your readers. "I think there is a proStabls bus'.ncas to ba dono in that way on thi coast, for although I would be one year behind the Kastem seeds men, it takes longer than that to convince farmers that a new seed or plant I of any ex tra value, and at last when they find what other are doing or havo done, they will pay for choice varieties of seeds. "However, this is my first trial of that bus inets, and I (tart out with the improved arti choke and the comfr both really valuable articles of produce and next season I will aid the Defiance wheat and whatever else I may see among the noveltie of this season that gives a fair promise of beuijf improve ments upon old roots."

Much confusion exists In tho minds of many owing to tho fact that thcro aro two totally distinct plant known by tho general name ot "artichoko."

Thcro arc, however, two improvod varieties, both of which aro of tho greatest valuo and will re pay tho cultivator theso aro tho "Bed lira ailian" aud tho "Largo Improved whlto French," and to which two varlotlc tho sub soqucnt romark In thi artlclo nbovo refer; to avoid disappointment I would rocommcnil experimenter to purchato only cither or both of theso improved varieties. Theso artichoke aro hardy, vigorous grow or aud immensely prolific, yielding from 800 to I, COO bushels ot tuber to tho aero accord ing to soil and cultivation. They ore cultiva ted in the (aino manner a potatoes, otily be ing much hardier they may bo planted carlior and tho tuber may bo cnt vory much (mailer than potato act a every cjo or cut, amluvcn part of a cut, will prod uco a vigorous plant, consequently but ono-half tho quantity of (ood I required; thoy may bo dug In tho fall after tho talk begin to wither or may bo left in tho ground all winter and dug in tho oarly iprlng before darting to grow again. Tlio plant, a littlo floworlng, form immense num French the better, although tho lted Brazil inn is immensely prolific, and in fact I would advlso nil farmer to tiy both varieties and select that best suited io their (oil and cll matu. They thrlvo beat on rich randy loam and otcn ou clay laud witl do well it not too wet, wot land ia injurious, and white good culture will well repay by an enormous yield yet they aro so hardy that oven to carclos and neglectful farmer thoy will yield hand- f.onio returns, and they nro emphatically tho careless farmer' orchard, as tho hogs will da tho plowing, needing and manuring year after year if tho fanner is not too indolent or shift less only to turn them on and off nt Iho prop er season, whllo ha loaf around tho saloon, store, post officii and blacksmith (hop bo- w niling thero Is no money In farming, Tho writer of this has knowu of farmer in tho Wcttoin Slate who, although working late and early, could never got ahead or before hand, take to planting tho improved variolic ol nrtlchokc and raising hog and in n vory fow years mako rm independent fortuno.
