SALEM AND MARION COUNTY.
When we get worked down licro in tlio big
oity we run off at timos, for a day of change
mid even if busmeai calls u away it gives
recreation, and thla timo of tho year ofllco
work crowiU. and a chango ia very desirable.
Wo naturally make a trip onco in a whilo lo
Salem, which has been our homo for more
than a quarter of a century, whero wo havo
inoro frionds and intiuiato aiiociationa than
anywhere) else. Homo pcoplo are industri-
oualy circulating tho idea that '.ho Capital
city is in tho last stages, but wo venture the
assertion that no intorior town has nioro life
animation, business and trado than Salem or
will do better in tho future. Business
seemed to be better than ono year ago and
tho Salom Flouring Mills, alone, havo stored
one hundred thousand bushels lunro wheat
than last year, and that year was an iucrcaao
over any other. Wo could seo no lack of
animation, though no doubt tho building tip
of other towns and tho construction of tho
west side road will prevent that town from
liaving as much growth and trado as it
would had the situation remained unchanged,
hut theso changes must occur.
Salom possessos a great trade in Marion
county alone, a county that is rapidly extend
ing its wheat fields by tho clearing of now
land and every year produces more and more
Tho increased prcduction of this year is in
itpito of great ravages from rust, and had
tho crop of 1879 been well savod tho proipcr
Ity of Marion coutty would havo been in
creased by tho circulation of half a million
dollars tnoro coin. The total receipts of
wheat from the crop of 1870, at Salem ware
houses will probably reach half a million
bushels.
Tho dif'iter that most affected Salem was
. tho burning of the extensive woolen mill
which gavo food and substance" to. several
ItunilraU'i'enpons.'Wheirtbeie' mills banted
the operatives and their families and those
who incidentally.doponded on the trade con
neeted with tho mills, left tho city, and the
result has been vacant bouses, lower rates
and poor sale for property. There is a
scheme on foot that promises suoccss. A
lumber of citizens, including T. W. Daven
enport, K, P. Karhart, Geo. A. Edes, Lewis
Johnson, W. II. H. Waters, and C. A.
(bed, have incorporated the Willamette
Woolen Works, and have encouragment to
. believe that all .the money needed can be had
here in Portland it a certain amount can bo
raised there. They may build on the old
site, or still better utilize the so-called
agricultural works that are practically un
used. Whenever this enterprise proves suc
cessful then (he city of Salem will hold iU
own again and vhilo it cannot expect as
was the case as wo remember quarter of a
-oentury ago to command the trado of four
uountles, it will live and thrive and be beau
tiful and dolightful on tho trade that natur
ally belongs to it.
Marion county, too, is a county that will
take pride in supporting a beautiful city, and
das a prospect before it of growing rioher
and greater with the lapse of years. The
peoplo there appreciate their ad7antagcs and
will not neglect tho means to improve them,
The new Pavilion at the .State Pair grounds
attest their wealth and liberality. Wo went
.to Marion county in tho prido of youth and
grow gray thero n tho labors and viciut
tudu of q'urtor of a cintury left thair im

when life's cares are over, an I shall never

ERA OF IMPROVEMENT.
Tho news that a railroad will bo built next
year from Cclilo to Wcllula is about the most
gratifying intelligence that wo could give our
readers. Such a road, connected by feeders
with Walla Walla and tho different wheat
growing districts of the uper country will
bring all that region within easy reach and
short time of Portland and must redound to
the great advantago ot all the Pacifio North
wist. Tho very news of this undertaking
beiug determined upon must go to tho world
potent with results iu favor of Kastem Ore
gon and Washington. Population will iur
in to all the eutern agricultural districts, as
an increased rate, as soon as the fact of eou
.itruction is placed l-eyond a doubt, and we
seo no reason to entertain any doubt after the
assurances that are received. The era of rail
road buildinj once actually commenced roust
go on for jvars to come, and tho money ex
pended for labor and materials will rnako
times lively there and hero as well, and in
troduce a prosperity that will be felt far and
near. Wo hate all waited many years for
the good time coming and at last it seems to
Im in the near future close at hand.
Ths operation of the Oregon Railway and
Transportation Company will inspire the
Northern Pacifio with now zeal. That road
may go to tho Sound direct, but it cannot rcfuso
connection with tho Oregon branches that
will reach it. Tho building of tho northern
road will indiico the Union Pacifio to reach
out towards tho Columbia river, and tho re
sult will bo competition for ovcrlaud trans
portation and tho opening tip of an Asiatic
commerce direct with tho Columbia river and
Puget Sound, and fu a conscquenco tho Pa
cific Northwest will devclopo at a rato never
boforo drcamod of. Tho nows scorns to bo
too good to bo trne.
GOOD TIMES AND HIGH FRIGES.
Wo hesr a groat ileal said nliout rovital of
industrios and advauco in prices. Tho manu
facturing industries of tho country arc getting
on n Ijetter basis, which is a Mossed thing,
for lliey havo dragged along for years and
opcrativos havo worked for too low wages or
not worked andgouo hungry, Tlio, bad times
havo bred tramps and mailo misery and dis
honesty, and mo far as the revival of industry
is concerned, and tho payment of good
healthy wages, the world is tho better for it
and tho fanner will got equally better
prices as ho has inero paying customers and
more mnnry is in circulation. With revival
of trado men who havo money will unlock
their coffers to start public enterprises and
that will make mora work and pay for tho
idlo and make tho world healthier and lion
ester. We can stand nil that, and bid it (lod
pood, taking our chances that tho farmer
will livo and thrive when every ono olsodocs,
but that wont oxplain why sugar goos up
fro-n lOo a pouml to 15, why coffeo shoot
aloft liko a rocket, why speculators aro
choming and striving to got tho better ot
overy body else. Tho fact is that just at this
timo tho most ot us aro beiug victimized by
this sharp, pry of -"renewed prosperity and
good times." It ia mora than poasiblo that
in the excitement of tho hour tho farmor will
come out at tho little end ot all the trade
that are made. When tho speculator makes
a corner in sugar it is the working man who
pays the heavy margin. There I no particu
lar reason why tho farmer should pay S3 U
50 per cont. more for all hi supplies, oxcept
that speculators have put up a big Job at tho
world's oxpeuse. ,
Death of a Swindler.
Editor Willamette Farmer!
Tho pajicrs announce the death ot Dr.
Allison, of Ilrooklyu, alia "Hnv, Joseph T.
Inman" who advertised so extensively in tho
papers, capi-cially the religious journals, his
euro foe consumption. The reader will no
doubt remember him, especially if ho has
been bilked by Lint; he advertisod his ad
dress as "Station I) lltble House, N. Y."
In a suit njainst him tho lliblo House
obtained a perpetual Injunction restricting
him from using the term liiblo House, but
he went on with his nefaiious business how
over. He never had n room iu the liiblo
House and was in no way connected with it.
The postal service tried for n timo to check
his business by holding his plks of money
and letters at Station I),, but were finely de
feated and gavo it up. In tho suit Allison
acknowledged that hu was tho "Iter. Joseph
T. Inmau ami that he had realised over
$J.M,000 out of tho advertising and sales.
So carefully did he manago the affair that
h s associate iu tho business did not know
that any other thtti tho "Itev," till attrudiug
tho funeral of I);. Allison across thu fer.y he
lecognized his Kav. partner in tho coilfci.
He aukhowledjvd tint ho never was a mis
sionary; never was in South Amorica and
nover knew such a ix-mm as Jos. T. Ininan;
that tho whole thing wai pure invention of
hi own, His widow for a time tried to
stop th- business, but finally, It being so
lucrative she concluded to go on with it. So
all who wish to 1k swindled can teud their
money to " Itev, Joseph T. Inman,"
Suckers on Raspberries.
Wo luo discarded the plan of allowing red
rasplierries and blacklierrics to sucker and
grow all over and between the runs, and now
keep the cultivator muuiug through them
cery two weeks, cutting oil all sucker that
come up between the rows, and giving plants
in rows double the chance. This is what we
couiider good advice, and it means to use the
thumb and finger to pinch in time. In re
gard to blacklicrries aud raspberries, it is a
great mistake to allow- them to grow up tall
and spindling, and then in tho Fall or next
Spring have to cut off one-half to two-thirds
of the wood and cane to mako a stalk to bear
fruit. Watch tho new- growth, and w hen it
gets two or three feet high owing to stocki
net of plant, if they be small two feet, and
large three feet nip off the tip of tho new
growth with the fingers, or with a knife or
shears. Fruit Recorder.
PORTLAND, OREGON, NOV. 21,
1 1 MR. FAROEY'S FRUIT DBY2R. I Weather and Croi
Scio, Nov. 7, 1870.
ICditnr Willamette Farmer:
I thought a few words to your numerous
readers would not bo amiss. I havo been
drying fruit for a number of years. Tho first
dryer I made was n very rudo ono; I run it
for a whilo and then romoddlcd it again.
Finally I had ono burned up; then I built
anothor a little batter, and still 1 invented
ono that I nm running now, nnil which is as
good as any of tho patented dryer. I havo
tho capacity of drying throo thousand pounds
a week w ith ilvo hands. My fruit is equal to
tho boat, I havo a girl by tho namo of Sarah
A. Fargvy who puod forty-Ova bushels of ap
ples iu Ilvo hours and I curod thorn iu tho
samo timo and did nomo othor work. I dried
tun thousand pounds of apples last year, hut
apples being scarce I will not roach that this
Fall. A great many prefer my fruit to tho
Plummer fruit. Jamks Faikiuv.
Wo havo heard, for aoiiio years, of Mr.
Fargoy's succers at fruit drying, and when
wo visited tho Santiam soma years alr.oo saw
a fino orchard that showed good care, which
wo learned aftorwards was u hi place, and
had wo known it at the time should have been
glvl to stop and visit him, Mr, V. is ono of
our oldost subscriWs aud wo are glad to
chroniclo his tucccss. Wo havo no doubt that
his dryer equals any iu operation and greatly
doubt itauy of them havo excelled tho quali
ty of his fruit or the rapidity of bis work.
Tho performance he tccounts is vory remark
ablo, and to talk plainly alxnit tho matter,
wo believe fruit drying can be carried on
without such outlay for purchase ot machine
a has beeii deemed necessary. Fruit grow
ing, and drying tho sama for foreign markets,
will bo a great business iu the future, and
should beoomo one of the most reliable moans
of income for Oregon f armors, especially a it
offers a way to carry, oo mixed husbandry to
great advantage, by utilizing home labor and
causing little deterioration of soil, while It
results in a condensed prod not tiut can bo
easily exported without requiring a fleet of
Vessels to tako it away.
The letter of Mr. Fargey shows what indi
vidual enterprise can do in the direction of
fruit drying and it should oncourago others
to go into fruit culture and undertake the
drying and packing of tho article for export.
A great deal depends on the condition iu
which any product is presented to tho cus
tomer, Tho farmer wont purchase goods ot
the merchant unless they aro iu good shape,
and his products, including butter, cheese,
cured meats, fresh and dried fruits, will not
fln quick sale ajid bring good prices nuless
they are handsomely prepared for market.
The loss to the producer, occasioned by care
less and unmerchantable preparation of all his
products, amouuts tu an imnieruefiuni. This
it a subject that is worthy of mora extended
comment.
Where Does He Live!
Some timo ago a Washington county paper
had tho following: In a certain county in
Oregon is a man nearly CO years of age, who
has lived nomo thirty years ujwn a half seo
tiou nccurcd under tho Donation law of 1852.
Siuce he located he has cleared uoine twenty
acres of small slushing and planted a few
applo and plum tries, erected n polo barn,
ahako house, beuht a cow, a pig and a fow
chickens, and ha.i lieeu perfectly contented
fur a quarter of n century, wheu his section
liegaii to 111! up with (i i.cw class of people
who made the oil man angry by their tnery
Ho has, as absurd us it may seem, never
owned ft ho'se, aud nover had any use for ono
until two j ears ago, when ho put In five acres
ot wheat with tho aid of n neighbor's team.
About this time ho purchased a wife, so re.
ported, by giving tho father 40 acres of laud.
It is au odd match a case of 15 and CO.
This mail has opposed tho building of
bridges, tl.o opening of roads, and thu pro
gress of internal improvement, lie fiuds
fault with the Assessor, puts tho County
Court to unuoeessary trouble, and tho only
real aim hu seems to have iu life is to mako
his neighbors feel his hatred and head every
remonstrance as againht petitions for roads
and other itiipioveiueuts beneficial to the
neighborhood of which he is a citizen.
Thero are a great many others of liko ilk in
Oregon. Men who hau arowu rich by tho
increase of the value of their laud ; one can
uot bay a foot of it ; they firmly believe they
made this country what it is, when in fact, if
it hadn't been for tho euergy of their pioneer
neighbors and tho determined and industrious
men who followed iu the train of immigra
tion, these very men would bo feeding en her.
rlca aud roots, while their big farms, the
quarter of which they will not cultivate nor
sell, would cot bo worth a picayune Instead
of rich men they would bo the paupers they
were before others' energy enhanced the
value of their farm.

Weather and Crops.
Never before have tho farmers of this valley
had a hotter opportunity for putting in fall
grain, and never boforo havo thoy improved
tlioir opportunities so well. Prominent farm
ers from all parts of this county tell us that
already over half of our grain fields aro seed
ed, and the earliest sown is up and looking
well. It has now commenced raining and
will probably continuo, but there will be
mora grain sown yet, on high ground. Hero
toforo there was probably not over ono tenth
of tho acrcago sown to fall grain, but tho
ilatnago from rust was so great this year that
our farmers have worked untiringly to got in
fall grain. A great deal of stubhlo land has
been turned under and sown, and some think
it will not yield very well, but others say it
will turn out a good average crop and will
not 1)0 damaged by rust, and that is all they
ask for. Looking at it from ovcry point wo
aro lod to bcliovo that Linn county's, wheat
crop next season will be large and of tho Itcst
quality, aud if good prices rule wo will onco
mora bo as prosperous as any locality on tho
globe. Albany Democrat.
What Constitutes a Good Roadster.
Tho truo test for tho roadster is his valuo
to use, until ln wears out, at light driving on
the road. It is uot oxpected that he should
draw anything heavier than an ordinary
buggy containing two men, or if two horses
aro harnessed together, about doublo that
weight. Great speed is not the desideratum.
A lively, pleasant driver, ot goo'd disposi
tion, with sound feet and legs, and speed
enough to go a fast as a gontleman caros to

after day,, week after week, and year after

Feeding for Eggs.
Heut cannot produce eggs unless their food
soubins tho elements of which tho egg is
composed, Tho kind of feed that is offered
t- hens must bo determined by the object to
bo attained in feeding them. Hens intended
fur tho market should bo fed that kind of
grain which is known to contain a large er
leutago of thu fatty or contains a larger sharo
of albuminoids or oily substances. Hut hens
kept as layers should bo fed on tint kind ot
grain which contuins egg-producing elements.
Ill addition to the essential quality of al
bumen required iu the nrgutiiain of the fowls,
