Editor Willamette Farmer r
Since writing my last article, on the above
subject, Mr. Gear, of Butteville, has tik'ii
some exceptions to the instructions as given
by me in my last article. And while I lo
not w sh to discuss the subject with Mr.
A'Gear (for they are minor differences), but
..would say the tules, as laid down, are the
"fiules that the fcatm era of the States of New
sYork aud California are gc verned by as w ell
;as the growers of our own State and Wah-
Sington Territory, with pet haps a very few
texceptions. By persons wishing to experi
finent, I will say again, if you vary from th i
giule of two poles to the hill, use three instead
of one. One of my neighbors has for two
years used three poles to the hill, the result
i jof which is three thousand pounds per acre,
1 (Another friend used four poles on a yard only
(j jtwo years old, and redized 3,500 pounds per
If acre. One pole per hill is sufficient on a

from 160 to 180 degree?. When your hops

("have your bop well cured, or else they will

ient and avoid mistakes ; and at the end of
the week you can settle up with your pickers
iu a very few momeiit, by giving them their
pay and taking the checks. A hop yard, if
properly attended to, will last forever, as we
have accounts of hop yards that have borne
continually for sixty years. And if in grub
bing or plowing vou should so injuie your
crown lull as to cause it to die, you should
replant ; but of all plant), hops are the hard
est to exterminate. Grubbing should be done
in the fall of the year, after frost has killed
the stems, say the latter part of November or
the 1st of December. Use a deer tongue hoe
blade, about ten inches long by three wide ;
dig around the hill ten inches deep, cutting
off the runners from thecrnwn head (the lim
ners have eyes) carefully. Avoid cutting
ground roots which have no eyes. Use a
sharp knife to cut off the run r era from the
crown head.
I have gwen the above instructions by re
quest of persons all the way from Da ton,
W. T., to Roteburg, in Southern Oregon, and
whilo there may be improvements on some
ideas I have give yon, you will find the rules
laid down as safe to go by, and while the ar
ticle written will be of little benefit and in
terest to the man thoroughly acquainted
with the business, yet there are hundreds
awaiting information on the above subject.

Bijttev illk, Or., Dec. 14, '882.
Editor Willamette Fatmer :
The hop fever continues unabated. I un
derstand that 30C.00O sets are being imported
fiom the Sound, and 60,000 fiom the Waldo
Hills, besides what sets can be bought in this
neighborhood, which I estimate to bo about
300,000. Imported and homo grown, total-,
about 060,000, or equal to 3G0 acres ; and I
heard a person Bay to-day that he wanted to
start a hop yard, but could not get sets. In
estimating the acres, I calculate hills seven
feet apart, and two sets to the hill. If they
were sure to live, ono set w ould be equally as
good lis two. Some put short poles to the
lulls the first year. I think that if the Bets
can be planted by the middle of March, it
w ill pay to do so, if a price above 20 cents
can be got for the hops. Below that I don't
think it would pay, as they need shorter
poles than they will the second jear. I have
heard some advocate the regular length of
poles the first year, and cutting off the end of
the vine when up about eight feet. It look
well, but it don't pan out, with me. I have
never teen a yard in this valley that would
yield the first year to compare with what I
have heard from Puget Sound, and even an
old yard here this j ear the yield was disap
pointing, while all the reports from the Sound
show that they had a better yield than here,
which leads me to think that they can beat us
raising hops, and while thtrt the hop raisers
co-operate, htre, it is, " Every man for him
self," etc. I don't think that poles should be
more than nine feet long the first year and
set about 14 inches deep. The pole need not
be very large. In speaking of "first crop,"
as I did in mv last, I mean the second year's
growth, as it is so seldom that I have seen
them poled the first year. A correspondent
wishes to know if in "planting 1.1 acres it
would not bs a good idea to have an early and
late kind, so as to extend the picking season."
It would, if an earlier kind could be got. I
know of no early kind on this coast that is
worth cultivating. They are grown in
New York to advantage. The picking sea
son can be prolonged by planting on high aud
low ground. About all the hops around here
are of the English Cluster variety. Them
are a very few of what we cali the " Wells "
hops here. Not knowing any other name,
they were named after Win. Wells, as they
came from his yard. Mr. Wells has good
lucceas with them, but they are not liked so
well here, principally because they do not
cluster so much and have rougher vines, mak
ing them harder to pick. I will five a rough
plan for a cheap dry house in my next.

Letter from Bishop Morrta.!
Editor Willamette Farmer :
May I trespass upon your space long
enough to express my gratification at the an
nouncement that you propose to do away
with the publication of the current news in
the columns of the Farmer. My judgment
may differ from that of other's of your read
ers, but I think your proposition a wise one,
and if yon abide by it, you will add greatly to
the real value of your paper. You will in
this way gain space for many articles of posi
tive instruction and benefit to your readers
they would otherwise never see.
Very much of the matter which is called
" news," and which crowds the columns of
the papers of the day, is not only trivial and
worthless, but positively harmful, especially
to the young, whose taste and moral Chirac-
PORTLAND, OREGON,
ters are yet unformed. I am amazed at tho
conception the ordinary news gatherer seems
tj have of the nature of his office, and tho
msntal calibre and taste of his readers. He
seems to tliiuk that his gre.it work is to make
up a daily record of the crimes, tragedies and
horrors of every sort, for the daily delectation
of his readers. Tne excuse is that thi-t is
what tho readers want, and this they must
have. Aside from the want of princple in
such a defense, 1 maintain that it is not true,
and that vast numbers of the most intelligent
readers are annoved and disgusted with these
daily details of crime and its consequences
that fill our best journals. And all ibis is
done, be it lemcmbcrcd, to the exclusion of
other most intere-ting and valiiinle i formv
tion. I had occasion recently to examine the
weekly issue of one of our leading Portland
papers. It contained more than one hundred
separate and distinct articles relating to mur
dtrs, suicides, criminal arrests and tiials, fatal
accidents, and other trigediea and horror'.
Tliise items, mostly telegraphic, and in small
minion type, measured in length over eight
feet. And this is the tort of pabulum that if
terved out fifty-two tunes in tho jcar, as
netcs, by our best pipers Why is it that
this icture of crime, with all its details and
giossuess, must daily Iw spread out beforo the
whole world, and brough, home to our sons
and daugiters, whoso characters and habits
of thought are largely formed by what they
read? Aside from what is p sitively coarse
and vulgar in this rews of the day, much of
it is so trivial and senseless that one is
amazid that rcspectablo journals arc willing
to lumber their columns with it, to the exclu
sion of sensible and edifying matter. Let me
illustrate what id a common characteristic of
our telegraphic news. On the 11th of No
veniber, tho Rev. Dr. Twing, the sicretary
and general agent of the Domestic Missionary
Committee of tho Episcopal church, died in
the city of New York. This mm had inti
mate relations with filty bishops, and over
three thousand e'ergv men and their cotigru
tons in the United States. His name was a
household woid with members of this com
munion in every State and Territory in ur
couutry. He was so well known and highly
esteemed in the city of Niw Yoik, ihatthe.
day before his death seventy-five elergjmeu,
of different di nominations, called a' his door
to ii quire what hope there was of his life.
His funeral services in Now York were at
tended by two hundred clergymen snd two
thousand people, and when his remains wire
being borne to their last rest, in Lansinhurg
eiery church bell in the town, including that
of the Roman Citholic's, rung a solemn peal
of respect and revprence for his memory. Not
one word of this is worthy of telegraphic no
tier, .nit the next day and the day alter wu
have our full quantum of "turf news,-' mur
ders, suicides, rapes and other startling and
sensational information. Again, on the 20t'.i
of November, occurred auother notable death
in another department of life's work, that
of Prof, Henry Draper, one of the most dis
tinguished scientific men of the world.
Dr. Draper's achievements, won from
ttie ioiigiess 01 the United States its
hrst recognition of a scientific discoverer,
in the form of a gold m dal in his honor,
bearing the inscription, "He adds luster to
ancestral glory." His early death, at the ago
of forty-five, has earned sorrow into the cir
e'es of science all over the w. rid. But of all
this the telegraph was ignorant and dumb.
To make amends, however, it did the next
day after the death of this illustrious man,
give the fifty millions of people in the United
States the follow ing important piece of infor
mation :
Gilbert Partbrick, better known as Gilpat
rick, the oldest living jockey in America, wht
ho
rode Lexington. Lecomnte and mmv nther
fam'us racers in this country, and Prior
ess, Starke, Umpire and ethers in England,
lor len jiroecu, is dying ot pneumonia, at
433 Second avenue, New York 1
Aud to-day I observe in the Ornmn'uin n
article of nearly two columns, giving with
much detail and painstaking the history and
achievements of this great man, " the oldest
innzav in A motni '
These are but aamples ef the character of
our telegraphic news, which any day's reports
will furnish. It is not to bo wondered at
thn that a distinguished citizen said in a
puuuc assembly in Hew York, sometime
since, that the telegraphic reports of the
daily journals were a disgrace to our civiliza
tion. Remember what we have suffered
through this agency by the wretched Guiteau,
the Scovillts, Jameaes, Tanners, etc. For
nearly a whole twelvemoi.th the doings and
drivelings of this miserable asaaaain and his
kindred were daily spread by the telegraph
through the whole length and breadth of the
land. Well hate vou done. then. Mr. Pjlitnr
in your determination to give the readers of
your paper something el.e than this for their
instruction and entertainment. The editor
of the Ortgonian, with much good reasoning,
objects to the proposition to use the daily
newspapers for reading exercises in the public
schools. He refers to the light and ephem
eral character of much ol the contents of
theae papers, and claims that our children are
far Utter off without this than with it.
Every thoughtful person must surely agree
with him, and be thankful for his influence in

Agriculture.
Mo.nmoutii, Or., Dec. 6, 18S2.
Editor Willvinette Fanner:
Agriculture is " the science of cultivating
fio soil." From tho days cf Cain until the
present time, mankind has followed this pur
suit. Tlis ancient Egyptian were occu ie 1
m i inly m "the cultivation of the soil," and
from that timo until this, it has ever engaged
the larger put of the civilized world. It may
be cillcl the crittrion of civilization.
The Chinese havo giv.n their attention
mtinly to the tilling of the soil, and it is as
tonishing hov great a population that country
h s sustained dining the lonj period of its ex
istence. Their fourth emperor is said to
have invented the plow, and each emperor
was required "to guide a plow around a field
in the ceremonies of his coronation."
At the present time agriculture isredticid
to a science, aud is taught as such. In
densely populited countries it is necessary to
study tho science, aud acton scientific prin
ciples, in order to sustain the population.
But, on this wrsteni coast, not much atten
tion is paid to the science. The tanner hast
tily plows his groun I and sciatches iu his
grain, and from ten to twenty bushels per
acre is the result. But when the population
be ome8 much thicker, it will bo necessary to
give moro attention to "tho science of culti
vation." P. Kw.lv,
Concerning Orchard Pests.
LaCestfr, W. T., Dec. 6, 1SS2.
Editor Willamette Farmer:
I read, with cons derablo interest, all jou
or your correspondents have to Bay about or
chards and orcharding. I am raising a small
orchard ; therefore, am glad to learn that
which will enablo ino to niako it a snecers. I
have had some ixperience in rai-ing fruit, in
a small way, in the East; but tin ro wo had
so many enemies to contend with that I found
it very discouraging business. On coming
here tivo years ago, I was much gratifiid to
find this section comparatively free from or
ihardpeBts. I then asked myself the ques
tion whether they would' not all, in time'

ones hero that I did not find there. It is true
tiiat some of these pests aro not doing serious

effort and stringent laws. In your last ycu

Survivors or Immigration of '43.
Editor Willamette Farmer :
And now I will correct a statement you
made in the Fakuer with regard to the im
migration of '42. You said there were but
four living. Besides the four you mentioned,
there are six this tide of the mountains, and
there aro nine in the valley, betides Mr.
Shaddon's family. I see many a mistake in
the papers with regard to things that hap
pened in the early days. From the pen of
J. H. Brown, there has been many a mistake,
aud others. I should not have written this if
I had not been writing to you on business.
Yours truly, James Force.

In the siege of Troy, Apollo encouraged the
Trojans to be valiant against the Greeks, by
raving: "The mighty Achilles does not fight
to-day." It wouM seem as if Death had been
bidding disease to make its greatest inroads
upon men, by saymg: "Hunt's Remedy is
out of the market." But the Trojans found
to their cost, that the mighty Achilles came
to the field, slew their greatest champions,
and made short work of the battle. And
Hunt's Remedy, as an Achilles against 1 ver
and kidney diseases, has taken the field, and
is making short work of all such ailments.
Hundreds ot testimonia's from all quarters
are coming in at to the might of this champion
medicine. Not surer was the sword of Achilles
than this powerful, et peaceful, remedy in
battle form, as it wages war against dropsy,
urinary and kidney complaints, and over
comes. It is wish to call in its aid.

RAILROADS AND THE PEOPLE.
The Railroad Commissioner, in his annual
report, mentions the necessity for some super
vision and control of railroads to protect the
people. Tho fiures given of the Southern l'a-e-ific
road, w hich is a little over 700 miles long,
are that the bonds and stock of this corpora
tion amount to over $63,000,000, almost
$100,000 a mile. By what systom the en'er
prising figurcrs roach this result is not shown.
The sum total stares the world in the face,
tlit, t the pretended cost of the work is four
times wlmt the actual cost may have been. It
ie porsible that they may have built the road
out of their own vast resources, gained by
swindling the government and imposing on
tho people, receiving those bonds for fully
double iu amount tho actual cost, and iVniog
themselves stock in the same proportion. The
financial world will not inquire too closely
into their methods so long as it knows that
interest will be paid, and so, iu time, the
bonds will begin to circulate It is satiBfn"
tion enough for Stanford &. Co. to draw inter
est regularly on twice the cost of the roads;
they can afford to build tho road anil hold tho
bonds in their own safes and vaults for as
loiix time as may be nccessaty,
No se isiblo and honest man can doubt that
the Central Pacific management is plundering
the hard-woikiug people in an infamous man
ner. 1 ho Southern Pacific is their own, while
the Central is bonded for all it is worth. They
can afford to run that as long an the govern
ment cannot collect interest of them. What
ever happens to them thoy always will bo
fabulously rich by rubbing the. people that
give tin in wealth. As tho Railroad Commis
Bicuer sajB- The problem is intricate, but
some control over railroads should bu estab
bulled. The roadts should bo well paid and no
more. Populai ignoianco might impose on
tho loads as badly as soino of tho roads iiu
poso on the people. Wiiat is needed is a jtmt
and wisu tribunal, competent and ablo, and
firm enough to do the tight thing between the
publio and the great corporations.
No fail-minded man can fear the actim of
a just tribunal of tho kind. Tho public do
not wish to destioy or even oppress the cor
porations. Tne men whodisregard tho rights
of capital will us soon disregaid tho rights of
labor, if they have opportunity. It is uo fair
or honest, or even txcuiablc, liownvcr, that
men like the Central Pacific ownors, who have
been ten tunes enriched by publio liberality,
should use the wealth so acquired to become
despots. Their only aim is to rule for their
own ends; to tax production all it can pay,
and barely live. The answer to tyrnnnny
of this degree will come some time
or other in such a storm as swept
the Bourbons of) the throne of France
nd the Stuarts off the throne of England.
Our country cannot support such outrageous
imposition. It must cease, aud as no human
mind can be trusted without control to exer
cise the despotic powers same corporations
possess, the national government must pro
vide reasonable control to protoct tho rights
of all classes; but especitlly to see that the
rights of the people aie maintained aud public
prosperity is encouraged.
The Central and U. P, roads discriminate
against the local traffic of the interior in an
arbitrary manner. They charge as much to
Ogden as to Han Fraucificn, about a thousand
miles beyond, and twice as much to Winne
niucca as to San Francisco. There may be an
excuse for some discrimination, but not for
such wholesale imposition. The government
should protect the people from the tyranny of
the corporation it so greatly favored.
Bills are now before Congress looking to
government control, in somo degree, of rail
roads. If some reasonable plan can be
adopted to secure fair treatment of the people
by the roads; to prevent great corporations
from waging U8elens wars with each other, as
well as to prevent combinations that will en
able them to rob the public, it will be for the
general good as well for the good of the cor
porations ss for the safety of the public the
serve.
MUTTON SHEEP.
It will be in order for ton.e practical men
whoundertUnd the ins and outs of sheep rail
ing, to write us communications showing
fully the relative profit in growing sheep for
wool and mutton. Take, for instance, the
different breds of aherp that we have in this
country, and examine their productive capac
ity in all mpect and draw conclusions.
Thert is the hardiness of the different breeds
to be considered, and a cnh value put on that
feature, for sheep hntbandry must Lo carritd
oi entirely with a view to its money return.
Some breeds incrtfaie more prolifically than
others, aud some lambs when born tsko can
of themselves sooner. Koine breeds w ill live I
where other. w,ll starve, and some produce
good wool under circuin.tances that others
NO. 45
will not. The easo wit'i which sheep ran b
kept in good order is an uupo taut fact ir in
the general account.
The next consideration thould bo tho value
of respective fleeces It is possible that
somo sheep, bred highly to Merino, should
average ten pounds 1 1 the floei'c.nnd tho wool,
average to be worth twenty cents, whilo other
bands may rnnge iu weight fiom five to seven
pounds to the fleece, aud their wool bring
twenty-rive to thirty cents per pound. That
will involve the respective vnlius of conrso
wools, medium and combing wool", and
nally covers a very important blanch of
sheep husbandry. This ort of knowledge
will qualify a man to grow wool moro umletw
Htandingly.
Then we must consider tho value of meat
in different binds, and thii is an impoitvit
question, Merino sheep lungo from 60 to CO
pounds net and go more to wool. This mutton
is not so good meat as others, and thu difler
ence iu weight of meat and wool together
ninkc up the valno of the sheep. Mutton
hci p range in weight from fiO to 100 ounds,
mid when mutton is worth five cents per
pound, the difference of 2f to 40 pounds
amounts to no small item. What, then, are
tho mutton sheep f In tmgen wo have flocks
more or less pure of CoIbwoMb, Leii esters,
Oxfordehiret, Shropshirca and Southdowus,
and what will cover the rango of this discus
sion will be to tiko the Merino, as commonly
bred with us, show how it should and can be
bred to advantngo and then show how each of
those other breeds, known an mutton bio ds,
or long-wool sheep, compare with the fairly
bred Merino.

We do not know whether any one
has tried those Minnrsott wheats, and we

a request that any reader who has tried other
wheats, or knows of those who have tried them,
will inform us of the remit in such case.
