sayst "Tho weather has been very unsettled,

and inildow, which had appeared among tho
wheat, is increasing. Dry warm weather is
much needed to harden grain. Tho harvest

less than other cereals. Tho markets havo
been generally firmer, and most sorts of wheat
have been stitlly held for an advanco, and a
strong feeling in trade is Increasing. Although
July arrivals from abroad were over a million
quarters of wheat and flour, yet Kuglish de
liveries havo been so scanty that tho small
reserve which oxistcd at the beginning of
July mutt be diminished nearly four hundred
thousand quarters. August arrivals from
abroad aro likely to be good, but if deliveries
of Knglish wheat are practically "nil," it will
bedltllcult to meet tho wants. Markets aro
likely to lo sensitive for ScptciuW. Tho
market for forward delivery is of ft different
cliaracter, American red Winter is offered at
about 7 shillings below the price of old gray,
England is taking an increased sharo of Am
erican grain shipments. Purchases for the
continent have fallen lOO.OOOqiiartera. There
are a fair number of cargoes olf the coast, but
buyers aro reserved. Imports into tho United
Kingdom during the week ending July 24th,
were 1,031,089 cwt of wheat, and 230,570
cwt of flour.
NSW YORK HOf MARKET.
Emmet Wells' hop circular of July 30,
has this to say concerning the hop market.
We have to report another very dull week
in hops, with quotations same as last week
nominal. 'A feature worthy ol note, is the
arrival here yesterday of four tudes of the
new (1880) crop, grown in Central New ork.
l'rice realired, SO cents per tU These are the
earliest arrivals and salts, by ten days, of
new Hops, ever quoted iu this market, and
confirms all we have lately written in the
Circular regarding the advanced stage of the
1880 growth. Although picking will not bo
general much before September 1st, a goed
many of the l'almer Seedliug and other early
varieties will find their way to this market
within tho next thirty days. A cablegram
from London anuouuees the aalo of about 300
bales of American hops at CI .per cw t. Fig
uring Exchange at 84,84 (which is high) and
110 pounds to the cwt. tare included we
rlud 7 equal to about 29 cents per pound,
our currenoy. Deducting 3 cents per pound
for charges we find the net price to the
owner to be 201 cents instead of 30 J cents.
The Circular gives the price of Pacific coast
hops at) New, 273lo per pound, and old
nominal at 68o per pound. The report
from England .are good crops, and the same
may be said of all other poiuts including the
United States.

We can count on an increase of about 334
per cent, in our wheat production this year.
WOOL MARKET.
Relative to tho wool market the U. S. Econ
omist for July 30th sayst
There has been no now feature noticeable in
this branch of trade during the week passing
in review. The market continued quiet
simply becauso manufacturers are working up
their stocks, hoping to tire out tho patienco
of wool growers, and that a continued lull
would lead to a reduction in prices. This Is
a mistaken notion, and would bo a calamity
to tho woolen interests if it did occur! hut
there is no fear of that so long as the farmers
of tho country hold themselves at prices equal
to current values In tho, principal markets.
Wo may as well be candid about this matter.
There will bo no break in values, but rsther
an advanco so soon as manufacturers com
mence to purchase supplies. California and
improved Texas wools may bo. relatively too
high as compared with Capo and Montevideo,
but other classes of wool must enhanco in
valtto with an improved demand.
A year ago tho market was sluggish, and in
July had declined 67c a pound. Wo saw
tho mischief of this policy and wo proclaimed
a wool famino at hand. We startled the trado
nufacturcrs aliko, and up went WlAm$aM ftn'1 materials which court fuller Invest!-

i'jis iikg any-rocKct. wo Mere cur-
recjgtor very early in the present year wo
gofaUi o stock. Ono WcsternTmill on tho
fiTJlMHEoast had sent ordsrs hero for four
hundrea thousaud pounds. The small west
crnlnills had to como to a stand, whilo others
camoWro for supplies, which could not al
ways bo filled with satisfaction, unless at ex
tremely high prices. In this emergency all
the lcidlng large mills saw that our prcdic-
tlonstwcro fast approaching, and they sent
largo orders abroad while they.wcro able to
purchase any cheap stock.. Remembering tho
"Donskoi" appraisement, we kept our eyes on
tho Custom Houso) but our'offorts were duct
ed to somo extent by sonding a great part of
tho wool through lloston to ovado high duties
here. When wo stated last Autumn that wo
had a firm in our mind's eye with a capital of
ten million dollars that could carry tho mar
ket up or down, as circumstances might favor,
tho trado becamo surprised at tho announce
ment. Hut it required doublo that amount
to draw forward 73 million pounds of wool.
Tho result of nil this is now apparent to the
trado. Wcro it not for tho heavy iiiijmrUf
tiout of wool, thcro it no knowing whciu
prices of wool would havo stopped last Feb
ruary and March. As It is, wo havo now fair
supplies, and no mill will bo likely to stop for
want of stock for tho next nine months at
least) but wo shall need ovcry av'allahlo pound
wo can obtain to keep the mills iu operation.
In the State of California it Is customary to
shear sheep both in the Spring and Fall sea
sons. Tiiis is perhaps owing to tho peculiar
climate and grasses. The climate it m de
lightful that farmers are not compelled
to house their thoep in Winter anil feed them
on high-pricod fodder as in New York, Ohio,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Ac, Instead of sheep
suffering from snow, as in our Eastern ami
Northern States, they suffer moro from trade
winds, burrs and shieves, to that when the
wool grows to a certain length sheep shearing
becomes a necessity) otherwise, tho wool
would break at a corttiii length or become
lost to a great extent among thistles, hurry
bushes and thorny brambles. In tho corn ami
wheat fields, where the sheep ramble after
tho harvest is gathered, the dust becomes so
finely pulverized that it it blown with such
great force by the trado winds into the wool
on tho sheens' backs m to make It almost Im
possible to clcanso it without going through
tho process of thorough scouring. What is
true of sheep husliandry in the State of Cali
fornia will apply with equal force in reganl to
Texts. In lioth thrto States the farmers ob
tain two clips in tho year from their sheep,
and by this means they obtain 2.33) per
cent, more hioney for inferior burry and med
ium wools than the fanners of New York.
Michigan and Ohio do for ..their fino Saxony
wools, although it is well known that it i'

in any part of Texas or California. Ami then
if" you calculate upon the t eight, It netils no
prophet to announce which is the costliest.
Wool growing iu Texas or California ought
to pay as gool profit for th'b investment as
gold mining, when wo calculate tho cost of
scoured pound to the manufacturer, and the
prices they havo Wen paying the past tear,
And yet the wool growers down South and on
the Vacillo slope are in no w Iso satisfied. In
San Francisco they have taken a bold, deter
mined stand, and are fighting for nearly the
same price for their heavy Sjiiiug clip
of seven months growth as they ask in Mich
igan for their fine washed wool of a twelve
month's growth. I u San Francisco no good
wool can be liought to lay dow n at an Kasteru
mill to-day below 80o., which is several rents
less than the farmers ol Michigan are obtain
ing for their fine light wools. And rather
than submit to any further reduction in (trices,
tho farmers of California are ahinpiui their
wool around the leg of mutton, known as tho
South American continent, in order to keep it
out of the market and to avoid the hlish
freifhta by rail and warehouse storage. If
this is not California ' grit," we do not know
what to call it.

A toss to Agriculture.
There was a young man recently killed by
accident in Napa county, whose death we
count a loss to agriculture. We need not
speak his name, that is tho cherished heritage
of his bereaved parents and mourning friends.
But there are features of his course, brief as it
has been, which ore a treasure to tho rising
generation of young men, and should not be
withheld from general knowledge
Ho was 'city bred and hail pursued with
credit the higher paths of education. His
father occupicd,a leading position in a learned
profession. Ho too had thought to drift
naturally into a profession, as other young
men of his acquaintance wcro drifting. It
was at such a timo that ono of our leading
farmers met tho young man and had somo
conversation with him. "You have the best
tho schools can do for you, now w hat do you
propose to do." "I think I shall study for a
profession," was tho reply. "Hut why do
so," asked the farmer, "tho professions are
already filled with the beat educated young
men. Agriculture has need of such. No
profession oflrrs wider opportnnity for .the
excrciso of cultivated powers) none deals with
gatton) iiono.outholds to a young man a lict
tcr chanco to develop his manhood, to quicken
his mental powers, educate his observation)
none offer a more laudablo success to ono who
will merit it."
Such was the sense of tho conversation.
Tho samo lesson was. doubtless enforced by
others) but that matters not. The idea was
implanted) it took root in tho mind of tho
young man, and hit courso was shaped toward
a practical engagement in agriculture. His
father's dairy ranch, then in tho chsrgo of a
hired manager, afforded him tho chance for
agricultural enlistment. How did ho pro
ceed! Did ho tako to tho saddlo at onco, and
count himself fitted to direct tho enterprise?
No) ho recognized tho fact that there were
methods and materials before him with which
ho was not practically familiar. There was
a herd of cows to handlo properly, and thcro
was cheese to bo mado of tho milk. With his
father's approval this young man went to tho
plneo where tho lest cheeso is made) ho
donned tho factory clothes) ho stood at the
weighing cans; ho held tho thermometer iu
tho heating vat ho waited for tho action of
tho lenuct) ho pushed tho cunt knives and
bared Ids arm to con ti act with tho curd.
Tho lifting of tho curd, the pressing, tho cur
ingin short, all thq countless operations
w hlclt result iu tho mauufactvra of a good
cheeso ho learned by performing each) and
after a few months of practical work and a
wide oliscrvation of others' methods, ho re
turned to his father's ranch, and began what
all expected would bo a successful career as
an agriculturist, becauso thu young man had,
showed a disposition to team, and a diligence
to perform, w hich are at tho foundation of
success in agriculture.
Ho had little moro than entered upon his
lifo work wliou tho summons came for him to
go heuce, and in his death agriculture has tost
tho examplo which wo fully believo Ids life
would have yielded an example of a young
man of richest endowment won from a pro
fession to tho farm.
Soino other young man must begin as ho
begsn and carry tho praiseworthy course far
ther. And there are others whom wo know
to b? already on tho rord, but there is stilt
room. Tho grandest industry of all offers
scopo for tho enlistment nf an innumerable
host of young men to exercise their quickest
and deepest thoughts, and their readiest in
geuuity and skill. Hut thoy must lay hold
with no halfway devotion) with no impulse of
whim or caprice. The teal, the diligence, the
perseverance of the young man whoso death
we sincerely deplore, must be an examplo to
them. As such an example his memory is a
legacy to a world of young men. Itural

Over the Snow,
On July 13th I set out for Priuoville by
way of McKeuiio rood, and on the third night
out camped at ltclknap's springs. My next
camp was on tho summit of the Cascades ou
the snow, of which I found an unprrwdcuted
amount for tho .time of year, the average
depth for fourteen miles being about six feet.
Although I crossed in about six hours with
team and backhand the next night found mo
on thu Deschutes river, where I found A. J.
Tcthrow tcry busy ferrying otcr a drove of
cattle for thu Millinm brothers. Princsvitle is
twenty inilcs from tho place, mid we found
the littto town iu its usual bustle of activity,
with a thoroughfare of emigrants making
their way from California to Knstcm Oregon
aulW. T. The grain crop in tho Ochtco
country will Iw light, causetl by scarcity of
ruin. Ou the '21th I left rriucsville on my
return, and try same route found thu snow
somewhat reduced, but patties with heavy
loaded wagons have some trouble iu getting
over, while light wagons travel along without
delay. Mr. 1. C. ltenfruw is on tho moun
tain repairing tho road, and apparentlydoing
all in his power "to assist travelers over. He
has also done a good job in straighteuiug and
improving the road along the McKetuie, but
considerable labor is yet necessary on tho
two sides of .the mountains, as the recent
hot weather melted the snow so fast at to
form perfect rivers, and taking the road for
their channel, havo gutted it out iu bad shape.
But the natural route, with its juditious loca
tion, makes this, in my opinion, much the
best road yet opened across the Cascades, and I
have traveled them all, with no direct interest
in auy more than for the developing of the
country and for te comfort of Uioao pulling
against the curreut of adversity. Jerry

Tne Army Worm.
This pest is now devastating the country
from Virginia to Long Island Sound, and later
in the season it will doubtless pay a visit to
New Kngland. It is a great lover of grass
and small grain and when iu regular luarcliing
order loaves little that is green in its track.
Though always to be found iu the rank grass
of moist fields, it it only occasionally that it
musters in such numbers as to attract
the attention of farmers, but when it
does its devastations are frightful. Its name
is derived from its habit ol moving regularly
like an army on tho march or rather iu line
of tattle, as if under competent leadership,
and w ith a w ell-defined nlau of action. These
concerted movements, however, are abnormal,
and occur oulv wbeu their bnmhere are so
multiplied as to press upou oito another, and
huiu.tr comnela them to usove ou in. search of
grecuer fields and pasture stew. Hut in suck

, The Short-horn cow Eleanor, belonging to
Mr. W. Armltage, of Yorkshire, Kngland,
made 211 lbs. of butter front the cream taken
from her milk during a tingle week. Count
ing 25 piuts of milk to a pound of butter, she
must have yielded over 87 lbs. of milk per
day. If short-horns, bred for milk, are cap,
ble of reaching" this butter yield, then they
must be considered as superior for milk as w ell
aa for beef. If Short-horn breeders wish to
disarm alt critcism, and place this breed at
the bead of all, let them greatly multiply
these 24 lb. butter cows. National Live
