S. takes the negative, and my experience justifies me in agreeing with him. I visited this section from Middle South Carolina in search of a home in 1830. Abont J lily 1st I was in Vicksburg, and about 12 miles east, on Big Black river, I was asked to see a remarkably young mother, a young . cow under 2 years old, a matter of wonder to tat old countrymen. I moved out that Fall, and became owner of said cow, and kept her until she died. She was known as "old Dun," and one of the best milch cows in a radius of 10 miles. She dropped a number of heifer calves, and I am certain that no four or five of them over gave as much milk as she alone. .Since that time I have had heifers calve even Minder 18 months, and I was always satisfied tiey proved the best stock. My stock was 1 wll kept, and T did not believe in size of ani- eaals in the cow line; it was quantity and ality of milk. I have followed early teach- as to holding back for size, and I tried it my loss. I know of at least three of tlio t bred and finest sows, that by being held k to one year or over for breeding, failed ood breeders and nurses. I adopted early ding with sows, even to pigs under 12 nths, and my success was proved by getting zes at fairs. I have seen the same advan- e in mares, and have come to the conclu- that we (farmers) keep stock for increase eat, milk, etc. and wo had better train m for that business than to train for car- A. P. S. refers in this connection to a friend who was a mother at 15 years. I go farther and namo two cases 13 years of when married, both hale and hearty when dreu were t;rown up and out of the way. I e seen so much of this, and my mind hav- been directed to it, I concluded to feed ill, take good care of the stock, use best ,les, and let nature alone, only to help, with iter feed and better stock Clinton (Miss.) of Country Qenlltman. A Combined Flow and Barrow. o small amount ot inventive skill is con- ually applied to the improvement of agri Itural implements. A recent invention, ich is said to have stood successful tests at New Jersey State experimental farm, is a ibined plow and harraw contrived by Chas. Sackett, of Mount Union, Pa. The Sack- plow and harrow does, in a superior man- atir, it is said, the work of both the imple- jenra wmen ic BuperseueB, auu uy jus ueur iparatioa of the soil increases the crop from to 30 per cent. So apparent are the merits the Sackett plow and its wo'rk that one of highest agricultural authorities of the country predicts that it will prove "the great ' ,eiit advance of 50 years in implements for the 'preparation of the soil." The plow is double, or rather two plows are used, that in front ratting two or three inches deep, and throw- into the preceding furrow the sward, sod, stubble or whatever may lie on the surface. lie rear plow goes down to any desired depth, and pours its entire burden constantly into a revolving wheel, which does the har rowing, the greater portion of the work, and is the essential distinctive novelty of the plo ow. A Wise Madman. WM )3 Arab literature is full of anecdotes of wise ana sooer men wno nave reproved tneir aissO' Jlute "betters ;" here is one of this kind. A certain King went to visit a mau-nouse, anu a found there an intelligent youth, who after replying sensibly to a number of questions v put to him by the sovereign, at length ad- Sjdressed the latter saying : IUU nave asikvu IIIC maujr tmiigo, A nm now ask you one. At what period does a '.lApnpr ftninv Ilia nlecn most?" '' The king reflected awhile, and then said: 5' "while he is actually sleeping." "That cannot be," said the man, "for he has no perception while asleep." "Then pefore he gojs to sleep," said the king. u "now can one enjoy anyining, uma ue T "madman, "before it comes?" Then " r.iM fhfi kintr. 'n.ffcnr he has been I i. asleep." 4P "Way," said the madman, "a man cannot f be said to enjoy a thing that has passed away.' So pleased was the king with the other's v it that he determined to make a companion of r 17 ' him, had a table set in front of the window fi of the madhouse, and bad his attendants hand J.j ia cup of wine to himself and one to his mad V i?i'.

I The king, on hearing this speech, threw 3 away his enp, and remained a total abstainer forevermore. Several of the States of the Northwest have formed independent farmers' alliances. This is a move in the right direction. When the farmers, at their own instance, without the interference of politicians or others who have individual axes to mind, organize a movement such a movement necessarily bears an impress of honesty and success. If it be desirable to Awnnt.ii Jntinnnl alliance tfiA nrniwr mm a-of proceedure is (or several State alliances to ' Bcna delegates to couiiuuic me ueiurai uwjj( Such an organization would command the al I" Jlegiance of all the agriculturists of the country, formed, as it would be, according to tbe cus- iy toms and traditions of representative govern ment in the New World. J'raine farmer. Postjiaster-Gesekal James has devised a plan for sending small sums of money through 1-, me mans at a cneap raic. imiuciii.uiu 'of a card having three columns representing dollars, tens and cents, and the amount to tit riv drawn is dem'gnated by punching out figures. VwJTwo denominations will lie issued, one for all sums wtliin 2.50. and the other for all sums U. within $3. Tne orders will be payable to bearer, and the postetfice will not be respon- ' sible for their safe delivery any more than for fractional currency, for which they are a sub- stitutc. The orders will bo finely printed on bank-note paper. The postmaster will sell the $2.50 card for two or three cents premium, and the $5 card for four or five cents pre mium, and will himseli punch out the amount paid, and the buyer will simply inclose the card in his letter, and the receiver can cash it at anv office. The postmaster will enter the amount of the order on a stub, which will be the only check the department will need, as the name of the sender and payee are not en tered. In order to prevent the use of the post al orders as currency they are to bo redeem able only for three months from the date of ssue. Wheat Boll. The farmer must sow his wheat upon such land as he has, it may be clay or sand, wet or dry, rich or poor. If it be clay, and the other conditions are favorable, ho may expect a plump, soft berry, and a full crop. If his soil is sandy, and other conditions favorable, the wheat is likely to have a smaller but harder kernel, the quality will perhaps bo better, put the quantity somewhat less. If the soil be too moisi,it will pay toundcrdrain. Tile drains, two rods apart and at an average depth of three feet, have doubled the crop and paid the total expense of the drainage in a single year. If for any reason underdraw ing cannot be'practised, no fear of incommod ing the reaper ought to be allowed to prevent making a sufficient number of open furrows for surface drainage. The greatest possible inconvenience at harvest time is a poor crop. Black mucky land, after it is drained, may need to be dressed with fertilizers, such as salt, lime, or bone-dust." A dry poor soil needs barn yard manure. Prof. N. S. Town send, in American Agrieultnrht for October. The Underground World or England. The proposed tunnel between England and France under the Channel has suggested the preparation of some interesting statistics in regard to what may be called the undci ground world of England. According to these figures the number of persons omployed in English mines, many of whom live in them constant ly, is more than three hundred and seventy thousand; in other words, there are men, women and children below the surface of Brit ish soil sufficient to form one of its largest cities of the second rank. The length of tun nelling in which they labor is set down at the extraordinary figure of nearly fifty-nine thou sand miles. The deepest gallery is at the level of twenty-eight hundred feet. These facts and figures are adduced in support ( the practicability of constructing and operating the Channel tunnel. The depth of the Chan nel, it seems, is nowhere more than one hun dred and eighty feet, and taking this as a basis it is estimated that the lowest part of the tunnel would not be more than two hun dred feet from the surface. If the engineer's figures and theories be correct the project is not only practicable, but simple. A Thousand Dollars a Minute. Mr. Eddy the veteran patent solicitor of Boston, is a regular encyclopedia of incidents referring to inventors. He tells of a man named Hurd, who realized $30,000 and gave to the world one ot the most valuable inven tions ever produced all the result of about half an hours thought. His invention was the machine now everwhere used for extracting molasses from sugar. When the idea occur red to him he sketched it down and gave it to Mr. Eddy, and authorized him to take out a patent. Returning home, he forgot all about the matter and applied himself to other affairs. Subsequently a gentleman engaged in the sugar business saw the invention in Mr. Eddy's office, and at once appreciated its value. The solicitor was instructed to pur chase the patent, which he supposed he could do for a moderate sum. The first ofTr of Sl',000 was refused, and not until the figure of 830,000 was reached did Mr. Hurd surrender. Tho machine is used in all the sugar countries of the world. Mr. Robertson, who was Am erican Consul at Hague, and the Aspinwalls, of New York, made millions out of tho inven tion. Boston Herald. Improved Harness. A recent writer calls attention to the fact that with all the inventions and improvements that have been made, we are still driving and guidint; our horses by means of appliances practically the same as in bygono ages. Horses still run away, as in years past they have run away, and the appliances for slop ping them are, in a great many cases, inade quate. Tho writer alluded to makes the sug gestion that, instead of attaching the lines di rect, as now, they might pass wer a pulley on the headstall, one end to be held in the hand as now, and the other fastened to some fixed part of tho harness. This simple contrivance, in accordance with well known laws of me chanics, would exactly double the power ex erted by the driver. All possible safeguards should be thrown around the liability of acci dent to life or limb, especially as the handling the reins is often entrusted to timid or inex perienced persons. Mississippi Grain Trade. The grain export business of New Orleans is assuming vast proportions. A low rate of freight by way of the Mississippi river is in ducing large shipments, and it is throught that the minimum rates have not yet been reached. A tow of barges from St. Louis, loaded with grain at five cents a bushel, gives now a net profit of $15,000 on a single trip, and a, the return freight pays all the expenses of the round trip, it is thought that grain could 1 profitably carried down the Missis sippi at even three cents a bushel. Tbe val'io of the land grant of the 'Northern Pacific Railroad is greater thau is usually known. Where it runs through a State the company has half the land for 20 miles on each side of the track. Where it goes thronh a Territory it has half tbe land for forty miles on each side. It takes one half of a belt forty miles vide through Min nttota, eighty miles wide through Dakota, eighty miles wide through Montana, eighty miles wide through Idaho, eighty miles wide through Washington, along tho Cascade branch, forty miles wide along tho Portland branch into Washington, and twenty miles wide in Oregon along the last named branch. The foothills of Benton County. Two miles West of Corvallis, which town is pleasantly situated upon the left bank of the Willamette river, tho foothills cemmence. Those nearest Corvallis are now covered, a great part, with oak trees and oak shrubs, be neath which thero is very fine pasture. A few years ago these hills were covered with thou sands of sheep, which were a source of consid erable profit for the farmers who owned them. The farmers here used to make 75 per cent, profit on their sheep, and it can be done again if they wero properly attended to. The scab got among them, and, owing to the bad fences, spread rapidly. One by one the flocks were sold ofT till now there are but two or three left. Owing to thero being no bounty on cayotes, of late years, they have increased wonderfully and the farmers now lose nearly all their increase by them. Half a dozen good hounds, however, would chaso them out of the neighborhood as they are great cowards. Horses and cattle have now' taken the place of sheep and pay very well. Tho land on these hills is worth from $5 to ?25 per acre, accord ing to situation, etc. One of theso farms, if well farmed, will pay for itself in five years. I know ono which has done much moro than this, for it is how worth three times its cost five years ago, and annually has been bringing in the owner at least 40 per cent, on his capi tal invested. Dairying and hog farming also pay well, for tho hogs need very little but grass and apples here to fatten them. The lat ter at the present time is au especially lucra tive business, owing partly to the scarcity f hogs in this neighborhood. Towards tho end of Winter and in early in Spring, bacon fetches from twelve to eighteen cents per pound in Corvallis, and it is often impossible to get it even at that price. The foothills also grow splendid grain. A farmer who lives three miles from Corvallis had 4,800 bushels of wheat and oats off 200 acres. Another on an adjoining ranch had 2,800 bushels off 120 acres. Some of his oats went as high as 70 bushels to the acre, and the whole of them averaged 50 bushels. Some of his wheat averaged 40 bushels to the acre. One great advantage of these foothills is that plowing can be continued all through the Winter. The land never being too wet to plow, thus enabling the farmers to get their grain in early. Another advantage is that on account of tho elevation thero is little or no ague. A case of ague is very rare. Here are also some of the finest orchards in the country, one I know annually yields about 1,000 bushels of pears, 500 bushels of apples, besides large quantities of plums, quinces, cherries, grapes, etc. These hills are very lovely in Spring, covered with green grass and beautiful wild flowers. On the 23d of March, last Spring, I picked a bouquet containing thirteen different varieties of wild flowers in a few minutes. Wild strawberries, too, abound everywhere. In a good year the ground in some places is nearly covered with them. Al together, it would be difficult to find a pret tier, pleasanter or better farming country. From the tops of the foothills, near Corvallis, very extensive views are to be had embracing the surrounding hills, the valley below dotted with tho houses and barns of the farmers, with here and there a small town or village, the winding Willamette and the distant Cas cades stretching in one unbroken range as far as the eye can see, with Mount Hood (11,025 feet,) Jefferson and Three Sisters rearing their lofty snow-capped heads above the rest. But there are far prettier smaller landscapes of creek and canyon, hill and dale, brush and timber, amongst the beautiful foothills them selves and wider views arc to be had in the mountains near the summit, where the hill sides are covered with pino and cedar and the valleys with thick brush, where every little canyon has its rippling stream and every val ley its river. The burntwoods which lie between the sum mit and Yaquina bay are especially adapted for stock raising. Cattle hero require very little extra feeding even in Winter, often none at all. Tho valleys are generally beaver-dam land and are extremely fertile, as land of that description generally is. Timothy, oats and all kinds of vegetables grow splendidly. Three tons of timothy, 50 to 100 bushels of oats and 250 bushels of potatoes are not un common yields per acre. I have even heard of 1,400 bushels of onions to the acre. But little comparatively of these hills is yet under culti vation, and there is room for a class of people who would clear and cultivate their home steads. Now the Oregon Pacific is a certainty and Yaquina bay is being improved by the Government, there will, no doubt soon be a good market for all kinds of farm product. An an instance of what can be done in these hills, I mention tho following: A Swiss, I am well acquainted with, started in four years ago on a ranch of 160 acres, only ten of which were clear, for which he gave $800. He paid $400 down in cash and for the remaining $100 he got a mortgage, paying the usual interest here, viz., 10 per cent. He began with no farmin? machinery or horses, but only $100 worth of provisions. Look at him now I He flias reduced his mortgage to $200, besides paying the interest. He has three horses, two cows, several head of cattle, over 100 heal of ioultry and pigs, plows, harness, etc. He has 30 acres cleared, ot which 10 acres are iu timothy, off which he gets over 20 tons of hay per annum, 12 acres of o'ats and 3 of wheat, oil which he expected over 500 bushels this year; half an acre of potatoes which would yield 100 buthelt, and a splendid garden and young orchard, besides. He and bis wife have made 30 pounds of butter per week, this Summer, from eight cows (six of which were lent him) all of which, with his cattle, horses, etc., frd on hit outside ranch. Thirty pounds of but ter at 25 cents per pound, the market price here, would bring him in $7.50 per vccii. He told me that his butter and eggs alone paid their store bill tho year round. T. S., in Or egori Colonist. The Oregon Pacific Railroad. Our readers will expect us to chronicle the progress of tho undertaking. A walk or ride for a few miles from Corvallis along the gride westwards, will show us what has already been done, and what is in progress of execu tion. Nearest the town the gangs of plows and scrapers are at work, and tho "cuts and fills" in the rich valley lands are rapidly ap proaching the finished conditions of several adjoining miles of road. Further along, gang after gang of blue coated Chinamen are filling tho dump carts, which movo along in an un interrupted succession. Then comes some rock work by tho side of the Mary rivor, eight cr ten miles from tho town, and here the white men aro busily plying the drill and hammer, widening out tho road begun a year or two ago into the fair proportions called for by tbe first-class scale on which the lino is now laid out by tho engineers. Still ahead is a largo gang of white men felling tress and clearing away tbe brnsh fur the party setting out grade stakes for the graders following fast on their heels. All is life and vigor, and it is safe to congratulate the valley farmers on the reason able expectation of moving at any rate a large proportion of this year's crop throuch the now outlet at the Bay. Oregon Colonist. Associated dairying has not been very pop ular in Maine, says tho '(inner, and adds: "Nothing seems plainer than that the manu facture of butter and cheese designed for the market, is soon to pass entirely into the hands of skilled workmen employed in factories, which are furnished with the necessary appli ances to produce a first rate article. The days of poor butter are numbered, as aro the days of eleoinargarine, with all other substitutes for butter, as unfit for the human stomach, which will be let alone." ITEMS BY TELEGRAPH.
