THE WILLAMETTE FARMER.
We w ill suliinit to all tlio producers of the
Pacific Northwost the great importanco of
having anil effectually supporting a popular
organ that will bo an able anil rchablo expo

ORASS AMD CROPS.
An interesting question to answer, and that
needs to be answered too, fully and specifi
cally, is : How can a man farm so as to rcal
i7c the greatest benefit and leave his farm in
pood condition after a term of ycafs ?
Wo have endeavored to show, for some
time past, that the farmer who keeps a cer
tain amount of land in good pasture and makes
stock and wool raising a special feature of his
production, as far as possible, has the greatest
certainty of goods crops and ultimate profit.
We have presented facts to show this, anil
there can be no doubt that the wheat-grower
who is also a wool-grower, will prosper, with
good judgment exercised, when the man who
only grows wheat will only make a partial
success.
Tlio land cannot only be kept up, but can
actually be improved, by judicious cultivation,
whereas, under continual cropping it must de
teriorate. Tho man who canies out a well
laid system of farming and sheep raising, and
keeps some other stock as well, has resources
that can avail him in caeo that wheat is not a
success or has a poor price. Stock on a farm is
like an insurance policy on a man's life. It

With tho development of this region there
must come a subsidized press, ond corruption I conies in as rclitf when hope seems gone. Stock

WiiXAMFnr. jVarmkh claims tho confidence
and support of all the producing class. For
ten yo.u a it has been citited by the samo
hand, dircctod by the samo mind, and has
grown useful and influential, because the pub
lic have learned to respect its opinions as ably
expressed and bcliove they are sincerely held.
This paper claims support only from the
agriculturists of Oregon and Washington, nu
others aro asked to take it. We depend on
farmer!) and farmers only fur tho means to
do business, and wo work only for their inter
ests. Wu aro not able to put canvassers in the
field, so wc appeal to friends universally to do
what they can to increase our circulation, and
call attention to tho liberal premium wo offer
to all who procuro now subscribers.
Two things are necessary for our success:
Wo must have liberal support and jmnctual
)re)jymrnt -must be paid in advance.
Now is tho time when wealth greatly in
creases in this metropolis, and capital hero
socks to overshadow all outsidu interests. Tho
producers Jiave only one organ, and thoy givo
that a hall hearted support while others are
investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in
building up great newspapers in tho interest
of Portland.
To speak plainly: So far wo have given ten
yenis of lifo and labor to this newspaper;
havo proved by that long fidelity that wo
know no in tenuis hut thoso uf agriculture;
havo eomo to this cily to better maintain the
interest of production, and are here boldly de
fending our patn ns in tho very house of their
traditional foes.
If any mini thinks this journal is doing good
work, it is his duty to sustain it and work for
it with otheis. It is no support to forget to
pay dues until tho end of tho year. It is no
support to nhliirc an editor, whoso wholo tout
is unlisted in your service, to do double work
to cam money to live on, while ho docs your
wot k without a ilnllir of pay for a year at a
time.
This is plain talk, but is the truth. There
aro farmris enough in this region to givo
princely support to a first class newspaper.
Many who are our friends givo us such a sup
port, anil wu regard their tried triendship and
words of oiicouisgciuciit as worth moru than
gold.
Tho great majority of produeeis need wak
ing up to their own interests in many respects,
and especially to the need of supporting a
first class join nal devoted to their interest.
You, of course, naturally suppose that a
man protects himself in his business, but the
truth is that for tun years money has beon con
stantly put into this paper to nnku it what its
publishers believed it should be. Wo havo
had an ambition to desurvo support, and have
received enough, had it been given substan
tially, to reward our efforts well, but in ten
years wu Invo I, tt a small fortuno by had
debts, and havo now determined to do busi
ness for cash, or not do it at all.
Wu present this matter to the attention of
all who wish to maintain the integrity and in
ileptnilenco of the farming interests, and bo
lievu that fanners havo rights worth defend
ing. This is not a sensational or a radical
newspaper; does not cry "wolf" as loud as
some, but it stands squarely up to its work
and belongs to the people. It lias all tho more
influence that it refuses to light wind mills, or
pander to visionary sulicinoa. We propose to
go slow and sure, and shall bo found stead
fast, favoring notljiiig that is evil, and feuing
no power, ho ever great and arbitrary, that
seeks to do harm or wioug to tho tillers of tho
oil.
income, and there is not any more just subject
of prido than reputation as a successful stock
man. The man who is considered a good
judge of stock and successful in keeping and
propagating the best breeds, always has an
enviable reputation among his neighbors.
To havo more than one string to one's bow
is good judgment. It has passed into a pi o
verb ; and another proverb says: "Don't
carry all your eggs in one basket." If pro
verbs havo any forco (and they aro tho epit
omised wisdom of all time since the world
knew man), then the farmer has plenty of
guides to follow mixed farming. It lias been
a question to decide : What Bort of mixed
farming can we follow t But that is now
decided in favor of farming and stock-raising
combined. How to combine them to the best
advantage f wo suggest as tho most appropri
ate subject for farmers to discuss. Let us have
your experience, friends. Givo us facta and
vions in general, and lot us havo afrco discus
sion of when, how and whero stock can bo
kept, and how a farmer of few or many acres
can best conduct his operations to win the
best results.
The History of an Improved Flock of Sheep.
Kditor Willamette Farmer:
I sco by the FAiiMrnand other papers men
tion made of tho salo by Jacob Frazer. of
Umatilla county, of 800 head of rams this
season, which realized $5,4'.!, a little over
10 70 per head. Mr. Frazer's manner of
selling was that ho would draw from the flock
at $5 per head, or allow the buyer to draw out
at 10 per head. Tho sheep wcro sold mainly
by the well earned reputation of tho flock
from which they were driven as a wool grow
er's flock. Probably few of Mr. Frazer's cus
tomers w ho wero content to pay him $5 per
for tho inferior portion of his rams
head
Mil. Vii.i.auu certainly has a clear appreci
ation of the value of education aud the neces
sity of endowing literary institutions liberally,
which is evidenced lij his geneioua gifts,
amounting to at least $7,000, made to the
State University, Wealth is accumulating
rapidly in this State, aud especially In this
city, and we havo reason to fear that those
who accumulate so successfully havo little ap
preciation of the good thry can do by judi
cious aid to institutions of learning. There are
already several very excellent colleges started
in Oregon and ashiugton, and some of them
have been placed on a good footing, where a
little money aid to furnish equipment, or to
endow professorships, would have a most en
couraging olToct. Wo wait in hope that Mr,
VillarUe example will havo many fellows, and
that our men of wraith may learn the ex
quisito flavor of judicious giving.

President Arthur has named Thursday, the
24th day of November, as Thanksgiving l)y.
reflected while doing so that ho did not get
his Hock up to that point of excellence by
buying inferior, and consequently low-priced
sheep.
Knowing something of the history of tho
origin and general course of management of
tho flock, I will give it, as I understand it, for
the benefit of your interested readers.
Mr. Frazer's first plant iu Umatilla county
was 1, COO head of sheep (700 of them wethers),
mainly of tho old leggy, coarse wooled Mexi
can stock, which wero driven out of California
by the dry season of 1801. They wero infested
with scab, besides being of low grade. To
improve them Mr. Frazer had bought some
half-blood Merino rains of Mrs. McConnell, of
California, but before they wero ordered
shipped Mr. Fruzor csmo to my farm near
Salem and found he could get thorough-breds,
aud he purchased them aud ordered his grades
sold in California. As ho needed moro lams,
ho came here a second time and bought of
myself and my neighbor breeder, T. L. David
son, and subsequently got fresh blood as he
needed, alwvys keeping in the lino of tho best
Meiino stock ho could find, except a little
experiment vv ith New Oxfordshire from tho
Hock of Hon. M. Wilkin.
A rather amusing incident occurred between
Mr. Frazer and one of his wool-growing neigh
bors (Mr J. Dcspain), who has also been a
fairly successful wool grower, though pursu
iuga dilleieut course from Mr, Frazer. At the
commencement of their neighborhood Mr,
lesuiu was inclined to make fuu of Mr,
Froer's " little black sheep," as ho called the
tho thorough-bred rains. Ho believed in
"noses" (numbers), without much regard to
quality and relative weight of fleece, At tho
end of three years Mr. frazer sheared 1,000
pounds more lleeeo wool from 000 less sheep
than Mr, Dcspain sheared, aud sold his clip
at ono cent per pound higher price, on the
same day, to tho same party. At tho eud of
ten years 0f breeding towards the Merino,
Mr. Frazer informed mo that from 1,500 head
of wethers ho clipped an average of 11 pounds
of fleece. Theso facta being well kuowu,they
enable Mr. Frazer to sell bOO grade rams in
ono season almost without eflort. Itut the
most important fact should not be lost sight
of, which is that the excellence and high rate
of profit was secured by persistent breeding to
the Ivcut attainable thorough-breds,
J. MlSTO.
The Willamette Farmer has no canvassing
agents in the field, and seldom makes any
effort in that direction, except that Mr. Clarke
and his son occasionally find new friends in
their travels. To sustain a circulation usually
requires constant work in the field, and per
haps the strongest proof of the popularity of
this newspaper is the fact that without any
organized system of canvassing, its subscrip
tion list is much larger than any weekly news
paper in the State, except the Oregonian, and
has a much larger circulation among tho pro
ducers of Oregon and Washington than any
other newspaper.
Simply by the force of its own merit and
the popular appreciation that recognizes it,
the Farmer has found its way to every corner
of the Pacific Northwest, but it still needs
the assistance of good working friends to
increase this circulation and place it on a basis
of prosperity that will furnish its publisher
means to improve it in all its departments.
No other agricultural community, with tho
same population, anywhere in the known
world, has as good a local journal, devoted to
producers, as this is. The growth of the
country, and its rapid improvement, justifies
tho belief that support will increaso in the
future ; but this being the season of the year
when producers realize for their harvest, and
when they provide reading matter for the
coming year, we request all our friends to do
what they can to increase our circulation in
each neighborhood.
We do not ask this for nothing either, but
will extend the proposition we have made for
years past, which is more liberal than club
rates given by any other Oregon newspaper.
For three new subscribers and $7 60 m coin
we will credit the sender one year on his own
subscription, and to all who may procure now
subscribers wo will credit four months on
their own subscription for each new name,
and S2 00 accompanying it ; or in that pro
portion for as many names as may bo sent.
Any persons desirous to work for the
Farmer in this way can apply to us for
special terms, for wo wish good work done
everywhere.
While we are willing to pay liberally for
increaso of circulation, and offer the above
terms in proof of tho fact, we still recognize
tho good will and friendliness of those who
get up such cluhs, and appreciate their efforts
as dono more for friendship than for gain.
Wo will send sample copies, or send the
Farmer a month on trial, free, where those
desirous of getting up clubs may request, for
wo are glad to have tho paper thus intro
duced to tho noticoof now readers, and almost
alw ays retain thoso who try our paper in good
faith, as permanent subscribers.
We especially 09k our friends to call the
attention of new comers who may scttlo near
them to tho value of tho Farmer as a farmers'
organ, a news journal and a general family
newspaper.
There is an old saying : " What is the uso
of having friends if you can't make use of
them!"
POLITICAL NEWS.
It is strongly surmised that President Ar
thur is flxinc his Cabinet so that in a short
time he can reconstruct it to suit his friends,
and it is predicted that it will be "Grant from
top to bottom."
The elections occurring in various States on
the second Tuesday in November have caused
moro general interest throughout the United
States than in tho several States in which
they wcro held.
Now York State is very close; the Sun
claims it Democratic by 10,000 majority; W.
W. Astor is defeated for Congress; Dem. re
turns indicate the State Senate is a tie and 3
Democratic majority iutlic House; Republicans
carry Brooklyn; Democratic majority in New
York is 37,000. Republican State Committee
claim State and legislature by a fair vote.
Pennsylvania gives Republican nnjorities,
and elects State treasurer over both Democrat
ic and Independent candidates.
Returns from New Jersey show that the
Democrats control tho legislature.
Republicans carry Peoria, Illinois, the first
time in years. Massachusetts goes strongly
Republican. In Mississippi many negroes
voted with tho Democrats, and the State is
overwhelmingly Democratic.
Maryland goes strongly Democratic, but
Republicans gain Senators in Democratic
counties, and -have more members in the
Legislature than last year ; Republicans elect
Judges in the ninth district.
In Virginia the Readjusters' Stite Ticket is
probably elected, but if so, by a very small
majority, and Democratic gains leave the
Legislature close and in doubt. Readjusters
claim the State and Legislative by a good
majority.
Klcctiorts in Colorado, Nebraska and Wis
consin show Republicans successful.
In Ireland tho work of the land courts goes
on in a satisfactory manner, and the reduc
tions the courts are making in rents astound
and affright the landlords and seem to satisfy
tenants. Parncll, interviewed m jail, con
fesscs that the result is to a degree satisfacto
ry. Many thousands of cases are already be.
fore the courts. The laud league will hardly
make headway against the government in the
face of such acceptable reforms.

Monkv In-gius to come in, rather later than
usual, and wo hope for free renewals and
inauy new subscribers tho present mouth.
Complaint is made all tho world over that
farmers arc very negligent about money mat
ters, and with considerable truth, aa we have
found iu this busiue. Wo have a goodly
number who are punctual and encourage us by
their promptness, while others, whom wo
know to be wealthy, aro some times Uie most
dilatory. The Willaulttk Farmer appre
ciates friends, and when we see name on thj
list that have become familiar with the lapse
of years, it doe us good especially if they
are paid in advance.
Live men can succeed anywhere. Last
week wo had a call from two men lately arriv
ed from Canada, whero thej had read tho
Farmer, so they made us a friendly visit after
their arrival here. Ono of them was an elderly
gentleman, with a grown up family of boys, a
carpenter by trade. He went to work imme
diately on his arrival here; took a contract to
build two dwelling houses, and had them up
ready for tho plasterer. This was a good be
ginning for a new coiner, and shows tho value
of push and energy. No man, w ith sense and
sound sinews, need suffer from want of occu
pation licro H no lias any energy. Men went
back from California in '49, and pronounced
tho gold mines a fraud. No country is good
enough for people who want a Garden of Eden
ready for them, but would bo too lazy to sew
lig leaves together to ludo their nakedness.
Tens of thousands como out hero yearly and
disappear in all directions, finding homes in
the new country to the Eastw aril often, but
wo do not hear of any, or seldom hear of any
who do not mako their w ay and remain satis
lied. Mr. C. K. Russell, lately of Centervillc.
Umatilla county, now living near Vancouver,
gives us a statement of his harvest returns for
1881 that show conclusively how productive
that region is. Ho had 100 acres of now land
in wheat, and 30 acres that was in last year
he let alone to volunteer as it would, never
putting oven a harrow on it, but letting tho
seed that scattered at harvest in 1SS0 come
up and grow. On tho wholo 130 acres ho had
an average of over 37 bushels to the acre, but
ho saul his noxt neighbor, w ho had exactly
the samo sort of a crop, acre for ore, realized
38 bushels to the acre on hit. Umatilla
county is a wonderful county to grow wheat
in, and sinca the Farmer published so full a
description of the Cold Spring county, from
tho peu of Mr. Parker, last Winter, the whole
comity has rapidly settled up, and wo pre
dict that it will soon be seeoud to no other
county in Oregon in tho single item of wheat
production.
The Forest Grove training school for In
dians made a creditable exhibit of the work
manship of its Indian students, both girls and
boys, at the Mechanics' Fair in Portland last
week. Coarse leather shoes of first class vv ork
mauship, the work of boys from 14 to 20 years
of age, arc shown. The names of the shoe
makers whose work is on exhibition are Benj,
Miller, Frank Meacham and Sammy Ashue.
Alongside their work a pair of native moc
casins arc displayed. A set of jack straws,
which are miniature oars, knives, forks, lad
ders,, etc., are displayed, being tho work of
Benj Shattuck, an Alaska boy 12 years old,
with ajvck knife. A wash stand of Oregon
fir is Bhovvn by Augustus Kautz, and a hand
some toy bureau. Nugen Kautz, aged 19, ex
hibits a bureau made by himself of Oregon fir,
which is really a good piece of workmanship.
Although held together by nails, not one is
visible. The handles are clear imitations of
clam shells, and tho whole is prettily or.
namented with scroll work. OtUer exhibits
arc: A neatly darned sock, by Kate James, a
complete dress by the girls of the sewing
class, a patchwork quilt made by two Spokan
girls and a variety of toys and small articles,
all showing tasto and skill An exhibit of ar
ticles from the blacksmith shop at the train
ing school will be added to this interesting
collection this wtek. In the absence of Capt,
M, C. Wilkinson, last week tho exhibit was
brought down from Forest Grove and arranged
by Mrs. Wilkinson. On Saturday 75 children
of the school came down to visit the fair, and
were in attendance in the afternoon and even
ing. They were tho guests of tho various
Sunday schools of the city. Tho girls wero
housed in tho basement of the Congregational
church, tho boys in the Presbyterian church,
and they took their meals together at tho
Methodist church. Their presence was an in
teresting feature of the fair Saturday evening.

rOHTLA.NI PADEHIWtt TO PAGANISM.
Idolotrens Riles Celebrated en tile Street
or This Clljr.
Ho is dead. Gin Hen, a celebrated star
actor in tho Chinese theatre in this city, is
dead, defunct and will soon bo turned to
clay. Yesterday afternoon his funeral was
celebrated and tho whole Mongolian popula
tion of Portland turned out to givo him a
grand send-oft. The thing was immense. A
description of pageant is fete beyond our
weak power of description. At about one
o'clock in the afternoon the body encved in a
ten dollar casket was brought out into the
middle of Second street and placed under a
rude canopy of white muslin, attached to a
frame about the size of an old emigrant
wagon. In front, ranging toward Stark
street, were placed thrco tables laded with
Chinese delicacies, such as fat disemboweled
pigs with their ears encased in white paper;
lambs skinned from tail to nose with liver
and other vitds lying by; stained chickens
standing upright and looking ghostly; dough
balls of about two pounds weight each; wax
cacdles stuck in every place where one could
be inserted, and a thousand other emblems of
Chinese religion, and taste were strung along
the ftreet in front of the canopy. Twelve
Mongolians all dressed in white gowns kept
up a constant ceremony about tho canopy,
and the tables consisting oi alternate panto
mime and howling too hideous for description.
Meantime a half dozen gongs kept up tho
most diabolical racket. When all was ready,
the procession, consisting of forty carriages,
started with three Chinamen dressed in white
robes and barefoot, walking in front. Tho
procession moved to Stark, from Stark to
l'irst, up tront to lamlull, trom lemmll to
Fiont, down Front to Stark, where the whole
procession embarked on the ferry boat, and
proceeded to Lone Fi' Cemetery where the
moribund Celestial was left to moulder iu the
dust until tho time comes to convoy his re
mains to the Celestial kingdom.
MtiKDKRrs ATTACK.
Two Men Enter n China lVnfth llonse nnd
Falallr Shoot the Proprietor.
The citizens of Goldendalo wero roused on
Friday evening last by the sound of pistol
shots and cries of fire. It was soon ascer
tained, says the Klickitat Sentinel, that the
alarm had been raised by two men who had
made a murderous assault on the inmates of
a China wash house, and who during the ex
citement had effected their escape. About 8
o'clock theso two men went into the wash
house of Lee Son, who was in bed and asleep.
Lee Gin was in the front room alone, and
asked what they wanted. One of them re
plied that they wanted to warm themselves,
and suddenly drawing a revolver said to Lee
Gin : "If you holler, I'll Bhoot you," where
upon the Chinaman called for Lee Son, grab
bing the pistol as he called; the man then fired
a shot, the ball just grazing the Chinaman's
wrist He then commenced beating him on
the head with tho pistol, Lee Gin still holding
on to it. Just at this moment Lee Sin,
awakened by tho noise, came to tho door in
the partition when the other man fired, shoot
ing Lee Sou, the shot taking effect in the cen
ter of his abdomen, about one inch above the
navel, passing out iust above the left bin.
Immediately after tlio shots were fired, two
men were seen bv several citizens running
down Grant street towards the creek. The
cry of fire misled nearly every one, or the
murderers would have besn taken red handed
in tho fiendish act. Tho description of the
men as near as can be led from the Chinamen
is as follows : Ono is a tall man with dvrk
beard and eyes, pallid complexion, dressed in
dark clothes, with a soft felt hat.dark colored.
Tho other is a short man, rather heavy sot,
wearing a light coat and hat, rather shabby in
looks. Tho tall man had a handerchief tied
over his head. The attending physicians pro
nounce tho wound fatal.

Marshal Clark, who left here last Spring
says the Levviston Teller, with John Knifong
and John Harvard for Hood River, leaving his
family at Anatone, wrote home to his family
in Juno that ho would be at home on the 4th
of July. He was seen at Grande Ronde val
ley on the 1st of July, where he had on his
person about $000. No news was known of
him till last Saturday, when tho trunk of his
body, minus the head and one arm, was found
on the margin oi the Grande Ronde river, a
little below the house of Mr. Owsley. A part
of his clothing was still on, and in them was
found papers identifying him, and receipts for
postal ordeis, and about $160 in greenbacks.
Tho place where found was about 13 miles
from his home. It is not known how he came
to his death, hut the supposition is that he
attempted to swim the Grande Ronde river
at a high stage about tho 2d day of July, and
was drowned, and that his body has lain in
the river ever since, and that the head and
arm had been forced off by the current against

The new machinery for the Salem Mills
Company has arrived in this city, says the
Statesman, and will be put in running order
within two weeks. This is a new method,
and said to be the best known. When the
machinery is set up, tho present mill will have
a capacity ot 200 barrels Der dav. Next
spring they will build a new mill, which will
have a capacity of COO barrels per day. The
flour made by this mill will be for export only,
while the present one will do the custom work
and manufacture flour for the home trade.
Tho two mills will have a capacity of 700
barrels per day, or one hundred barrels more
than the present capacity of the Salem Flour

largest manufacturing city in Oregon, and a
great share of the credit will bo due to the
Salem Mills Company, who also intend to re
build the old woolen mills, which will add
much life and activity to our city.
