In your last issue, I noticed a communica tion irom a larmer in regard to free trade. I cannot agree with the writer. lie says: "Pro tection has already well nigh ruined this na tion. . . Where is our navy? We almost shiver at the thought, for fear some of us might accidently run against a Spaniard, or an Italian, or even a Chilian. A few modern men of war could take this whole coast with snnrplv tl, n.. f la man." iS Now, Mr. Editor, if this nation is well nigh rumeci, j. cannot see it. Wo are the most powerful and free nation on the globe, and are respected by all the nations of the world. It is true we have a small navy, but we do not require a large one. Our government is pre pared to equip a large navy on short notice. jand just let Chili, or even Great Britain, try to tane tnis coast, iour correspondent would find that he was very much mistaken about them taking this coast without the loss of a man. How was it in 1812? How was it in the rebellion? Our navy was not any larger at we commencement ot the rebellion than it is now,and yet they did not destroy the govern Jment. He further says: "But Congress had father give money to bounty jumpers, and in- livest in improving irog ponds and sloughs, retc." Congress has never given money to im- IJirove frog ponds and sloughs, but has given Utnoney to improve our riv?rs and bars, which Rro a great benefit to the farmers throughout 1ui oure, uut vuur correspondent mean tn y that the appropriations made by CoDgress i improve the bars at Yanuina t tv, mn. if the Columbia river, and at the Cascades, do m ueneni ine farmers: J. think he does anI o will have a great deal of trouble i ttuffina xca stun down the throats of the farmers oi lis State.

Education of Boys and Girls. In Letter from Ohio. ir Willamitte Farmer : iin thankful that by good newspapers we e acquainted with each other and that fejuiug enable i remote sections to commune her with a facility that would astonish Portland, Oregon, Feb. 3, 1883. Editor Willamette Farmer: We are created social beings. Children want companionship with other children; they crave it, they seek it as naturally as a duck takes to the water, and in cases where there is only one child in a family, extra pains should be taken to supply this want; allow them to have pets of puppies, kittens, lambs, calves or kids, birds or fowls; there is no family so poor, but it can gratify this want in some respects, and it aflords much amusement and gratifica tion to the child and relieves in some measure the cares of the mother. When we moved to the mouth of the river our boy was a year old, our house was isolated, and he did not often see a child. There were no roads, and the only means ot travel was by boats. So he was in a boat almost daily; he had dogs, cats, k'ds and Iambs for pets and toys without stmt. At an early age he showed a fondness for picture8 and stories. When he was about three years of age the publication of St Nicholas was commenced; we subscribed for it for him, and have continued it to the present time without missing a number. For several years his mot'iei read it to him, and he was so much in terested in the stories that he insisted on hearing them repeated many times. The summer before he was five years old, a school was started in the neighborhood about half a mile from our house. After it had been in progress awhile, he began to talk about it to his mother; it was on his mind daily; he wanted to go to school with the other child ren. His mother tried to dissuade hiui, telling him that she would not spare him. The sub ject was on his mind and increased daily, till he actually set the time when he should com mence going to sch'Kil. He hunted up an old school book of his sister, found a dinner buck et to carry his lunch, and showed such ear neatness in the preparation that it was evident he intended to set cut for school at the ap pointed time, His mother apprised me of his plans, said she was convinced he was really in earnest about going to school, and asked what should be done shout it. I replied, tne path is plain; there is no danger of bis getting lest and there are no vicious animals about; humor him, let him go; he will soon get tired of it, and will be satisfied. So, on the appointed day, he set out with the book and dinrer bucket in hand and a note to the tea.-ber. He had before this showed a desire to learn to read, so he could read the stories in his papers thu Nursery and St. Nicholas, and hid learned t -t alphabet. He returned st niuht happy, delighted; he bad had a "spIeLdid time; hid lots of fun; he was going every day." icle the enntl rtnnln winlivwl In tl... ,... f I i-i l. i:j . .. . .. - n r--r ...iH..u.;ll,,mu o DB UIU, w me cioie oi the sesiion, ' . k py with h's school experience.

Thus equipped he attended regularly and made fair progress until mid winter, when an accident brought it to a termination. One day, on his re'urn, in parsing through a little hollow tr depression in the road, ho was suddenly thrown from his horse aad bruised a little though not seriously hurt.

The accident occurred nearly a mile and a half from the school house. Before the woman had gone half a mile, here came the pony, on the keen run, dripping with sweat and foam, the saddle turned under his belly and one stirrup torn off. It appars that at the time of the accident, he wheeled and took the back track, and had ttaveled about seven times tho distance that the woman had walked. Some nrnml nlintin.H ..!.....

Friends returned with the ponv, expecting to find the mangled remains of the boy by the wayside. On enquiry we found that he left tho school home on the run, and that that was his usual style of going. On account of his age and having to go alone, I thought best to terminate his attendance. His mother was indignsnt, thought he had abused his pony, and said he must return to school. So after resting several days he started again, and on his first return he met with the Dime accident at the same place; the pony, however, came on home alone, and in this in s'ance he knew what had become of the piny, The horso is perfectly gentle, and not at all scarey, and the most probable solution of his conduct was, that in tho first instance he saw and was frightened at a wild animal. About that time a cougar was prowling about the neighborhood and had been seen by several persons. Although his opportunities for attend ing a regular school have been limited, he has received instruction at home from his mother. in time and amount sufficient to compensate for his irregularity. In the fall before he was t;n years of age he entered the public school or t lis city and attended one year. Here he acquired a little experience not taught in tie school-room. City boys must show their superiority over the new arrivals from the country. College boys must give fresh arri- vals a certiin introduction. If the greeny stands it pretty well and accepts it as fun, he is scon hail fellow with them and ready to assist at the initiation of tho next mw comer. So our biy had to have his turn, and one day as he was set upon and crowded beyond what he thought fair in such cases, he showed a spirit of resentment which the boys, of course, considered needed a little discipline, which they then proceeded to administer, when to their great surprise four or fivn of them lay sprawling in the dirt quicker than I can write it. Boys are usually discreet when there is danger, and in this case they thought a little distance was safer than close contact. As the itreet had just been Mc Adamized they found abundant material and conin enced throwing stones. Here a greater surprise awaited them, for they found the country boy a match for a dazen of them; he could throw further, straighter and hit harder. When they where at a safe distance, he was entirely beyond the reach of their projectiles. Boys recognize superiority as readily as older ersona; a truce followed, and be was toun a favorite among his schoolmates, and alto with hit teachers. He likes school and takes to it kindly, but likes his pets, the animals on the farm, his horse, dog and gun better. We pint nand The Little Granger, reads them, and is interested in all as much as older iwtn'o in !...:- . !l If rr v tu lucir uvuriie periodicals. He is beginning to take an interest in the Farmer, Ilural Spirit and Rural New Yorker, and looks with as rSioh interest tor the arrival of the mails as the older members ol the family. Education does ,not consist merely of a cer tain number of'days' and months' tuition in tide college walls. Remoteness from the con ventional school-house, we consider, a poor excuse for neglect in matters of mental and moral culture. The lack of such advantages must be supplied by the parents. The minds o' our young folks might be compared to a plowed field ready to receive the seed. If we do not sow the grain weeds will spring up and occupy the soil. Our boys are being educated whether wo will or no; there is no standing sun, no middle ground. Shall we sow the seed and occupy tho soil, or gfve it up to weeds or bnari? Thus far our boy loves the farm, its free life and invigorating air, better than tho city. It gives us no anxiety whether he shall follow farm life in the future. If he does wo shall bo content. Should he choose some other vocation the experience of farm life, the self reliance, good health, physical development and muscular fiber will bo good capital to assure success in any other vocation ho iray cho se. Whilo pleading for the boys I should not forget the girls. Their training and culture is quite as important as that of the boys. What are you doing with your girls ? What are vou doing for your girls ? Children and youth of both sexes are naturally seeking information. It is a necessity of their naturo next to that of food and clothing. In what way can wa supply it so easily and so cheaply as with good books and papers? "But," said a father to me the other day, ," my. boys won't read, they don t care for books and papers. " Then the fault is yours; you didn't commence rightly, nor commence early enough. The weeds and briars havo commenced to grow. In such cases I would recommend the course my father took with me when I was eight or nine years old. lie hired me, for a stipulated sum in money, to read the family paper every week, every page, advertisements and all, for one entire year, and after that the history of the United Mates. This awakened an inter, est in books and papers that never le't me. But wasn't it a bitter pill the first few months to wade through the four pages of that paper and in reading the advertisements. It did seem to me that tho family of "Co." was a very largo one, and that nearly every man in business in that town whero the ninsr printed had gone to the "Co." family for a partner. Children and youth need comnan. ionship; tho sexes should mingle and be al lowed to have little parties, visits and reuni ons, under the watchful eye of parents and friends. In what way can families co.operato so easily in city and country as to allow such reunions of the young folks from house to house, the parents of the entertainers taking charge of such gatherings, directing them in amusing and iustzuctive channels. Make the home circle attractive with books, papers and music, aud the young people will cluster there instead of prowling the streets, seeking amusement in doubtful places. J. B. K.VAr the Cold Spring country in Umatilla county, is also interesting, but while in reach of facili ties for transportation via the railroad, I have an impression that it is too far north, that the winters would be longer and more severe than in Wasco.

Keply to Questions. Clarks, Mekrick Co., Neb., Jan. 22d. Editor Willamette Farmer: I have been reading up an old copy of the Farmer, a year or two old, and am quite in terested in Oregon and Washington Territory, as therein depicted. As there may be con siderable of a change within a couple of vtars. relatively, or even in one year, I write for re- neweu iniormation on the various points of interest to an intending emigrant. From reading the farmer, I infer that East of the Cascades is the most natural home of the sheep and from some articles in the paper I have received the impression that the native pastures will not sustain as roauy animals (sheep for instance) as our natural pastures here in the Great I'latte valley in Nebraska. Here, It is estimated that an average of three acres will suktain a grown cow or steer during uie pas'ure season and that what will feed a cow will keep eight or nine head ol aheep. Now if I leave this State It will be because I can find a new location w here winters are very short and where I can engage in farming aud sheep and wool growing in a small way. l should like to own about a section of land or there abouts, where I could keep twelve or niteen hundred head of sheep and raise some grain, fruit, eto , in addition f the prirc'pal limine-a of wool and sheep growing. I have read with much iUereat Vr. Vanderpool's !tt:eriuthe Farmer and think I could suit myself in Wasco county were it not for the fact that thtre is no means of trauaportstion or p-oduce, Mr. Ir!:i r's Utter in regard to Mr. Sweet has been reading the double edition of tho Farmer that reviewed the whole Pacific Northwest and alluded to all interests and occupations and was published just two years ago. It is true that many changes have taken place since then. The Cold Spring country has boon all ett'led and is now tolerably well farmed. Ho is mis taken in supposing that it is too far north. We will try to answer his inquiries in full, so far as possible, for the benefit of all who are interested in the mattors in olved therein. It is possible that the natural pastures of Nebraska will sustain more stock in the graz in season, but probably the grazing season is much shorter there than hero. We cannot say now much land it takes to carry stock, because grass differs in different localities. Here, Btock men drivo their sheep to the mountains tho first of June and keep them there until the winter is at hand in tho fall. Here, too, there is iiMially a great deal out range where grass grows but whero farming cannot be carried on. Stock men do not pre. tend to own the pastures they use East ot the Cascades, save in some instances, as tlio Uufurs of Wasco county. It has always been possible to find wild laud whero stock ran run at large. Half, or more, of Oregon is in mat condition now. Tho samo is true of Washington Territory. It will bo easily possiblo for Mr. Sw:st to locato whero he can combine farming and wool growing in a moderate way. That is ono of tho things we continually urgo and tiy to prove practicable Wo sec no reason why ho cannot carry out his idea in almost any por tion of the eastern country. Sjhool lands are not yet in tho market in tho Territories, and will not bo until tlioy bo come States. In Oregon school lauds are an. praised, they being 82 an acre. They are usually sold at that price, though often worth much more. The State has other lands donated from government, and maintains a land de I artment. The terms are: ono-third cash mid two nurds on time at 8 per cent, interest. As tho Staet bans the money, it is willing to let me deterred payments lie aud collect the in tercst. As to railroad lands in Marion county, tho company has some not veiy distant, but it would bo rough land. The foothills and tim bcred portions of country not taken at an early day are railroad land, aud are sold at various prices according to grade. Actual settlers are taking up all good railroad tract.. It is not possible, to send auy list of such lands. Great changes have taken place since Feb ruary, 1681. That year we went to Walla Walla, making the journey by boat. 05 miles from Portland to Lower Cascades, by rail six miles to Upper Cascsdes, by boat 40 milis on the middle rhcr to Dalles Citv. wUr. w. took railroad agaiii around the Di.ll,.. t n, Columbia 10 miles to Celilo, where another steamer received us and carried us on die Up per Columbia 130 miles to Wallula, where u narrow g.uge railroad SO miles long completed the journey to Walla Walla, almost 300 mibs by rail and river, using three railroads and three steamboats, and occupying two days' time. All tliat has been changed, The Ore- gon Kailway and Navigation Cgnpany have their railroad finished, and you take the train here at 1 o'clock, evining, to find jourself rc-aiiy ior urjakfast at Walla Walla. The Northern Pacific, also, that had made little headway at that time, has now some 350 miles of c mpletnl road that reaches from Wallula to the center of Montana. Other railroad work has been done, and the country is begin- ning to resp:nd by actual progress to these enterprises. As to chsnees to locate lands, you could lo-c.t-j the entire domain of New York in the vacant lauds of Eastern Washington, and cover Pennsylvania with the vacant lands of Kutern Oregon. We have yet vscant lands tha some time will make homes for millions of pe 'pie. in your State sold, and at whst price, now ? To sav another lain. ..tiZZTvii its?! T .! n. ' .

Tho employment of convict labor to subatitute freo skilled labor in the atato 1 nson at S dem, does tend strongly and lursistoiitly to keep emigration out of the cities aud indirectly out of the State.

We havo very positive views on tho use of convict Uboi and havo no hesitation to ex proH them Representing tho farmers of Oregon, we wish to keep down taxation. Tho State Prison has been a great expenso, but promises soon to h self-supporting. If by tho cou tract systom tho labor of convicts can bo made to help pay their expenses, it should be so used, Convicts aro often outcasts, with no trade. To leave them iu prison idle would bo wrong, because idleness begets crimo. To employ thorn in some useful labor is a luorov to them as wi II as a saving to taxpayers. It is poasl- iilo that habits of industry may improve a conviut, whereas habits of idlfness never can leform him. If thev can learn eom. w.u ir. earn a living they may go to work and Lo good citizens when released again. From both the moral and economical points of viow it is advisable to give, the convict employ, nieut iu prison and the small proportion con vict labor will bear to the working world at largo forbids that tho employment of such labor shall be productive of evil. If it is, tho resulting good will far more than offsJt all the bad results. California Fruit Orowers.
