Tillamook County An Isolated but Attractive
Reclon.
The following taken from the Astorian,
gives a good idea of the coast region and
shows how easily the beautiful region of
Tillamook bay is reached in a few hours
from the Columbia river :
A visit to the country immediately
south of Clatsop county shows a great
stretch of coast line, equal to any of the
coast counties, and a country whose nat
ural attractiveness is a source of surprise
to all new comers. Leaving Astoria at 6
A. M., on Leincnweber & Co's new steamer,
A, B. Field, a run of six hours down the
Columbia, across the bar and out to sea
along the coast, and wecomo to Tillamook
bay, the natural entrance to a region rich
in resources, and which is destined to play
an important part in the futuro.history of
our great State. The bay which is of ac
cess opens to the southeast; at its enter
ance is a bar which has fifteen feet of wa
ter on it. To tho right as wo enter is a
sand spit, a long narrow peninsula, widen
ing to the south, and extending down tho
ocean coast for several miles. This is a
resort for tourists and pleasure seekers,
who contemplate abiding for a season by
the sea shore. Tho east or bay shore af
fords admirable shelter in which to pitch
one's tent, while the west shore has a broad
and firm beach on which a wheel would
scarcely make a dent forming a natural
roadway for miles to the south where a
great cap puts out its spruce-crowned
summit. Crossintr the bar. and ronndim
.f in a covo to tho east wo come to Garibaldi.
At this place the Miami river finds an out
let. About two' miles up this river, is a
large tract of fine land, now known Foley
valley, so called from the Foley river which
heads above. Cedar, spruce and fir are to
be found of a size and quantity one would
scarcely expect to see so close to the coast,
and so situated on benches as to be easily
got out. On tho point at tho south side
of the Miami Joseph Smith has a force
engaged in leveling off for a mill site, on
which he will build a saw mill. A short
distance below is the now town of Hob
sonville. Hero all is bustle and activity.
Leinenweber&Brown have built a cannery
and extensive buildings, including a well
stocked store, boarding house and out
buildings, and aro making preparations
for the beginning of tho season's salmon
pack. Last year this cannery began oper
ations, and the experiment has proved a
success. Tho enterprise has infused new
life into this part of country, and will form
a nucleus for permanent growth.
Heading to the south we strike the
channel en route for Hoquarton. On the
left we pass Fuller Bros, saw mill, anil
farther south Idasville comes in view ; be
low, tho Kilchis empties, and still farther
south Wilson's river comes from its far-off
mountain sources. This is a splendidly
watered region, as well as a spendidly
timbered one, and a country that has
such great areas of timber, through which
flow logging streams need wait but very
little longer for the echo of the settler's
ax. On each sido of tho winding chan
nel stretch great areas of rich bottom
lands, covered with a luxuriant growth of
grass on which feed herds of fat cattle.
These .tide lands aro only covered two or
three times in the year, and at a com
paratively small outlay, could bo dyked
so as to insure permanent immunity from
overflow. The channel grows inrrower,
and it is only by the utmost skill of our
captain that hocan keep the A. B. Field
from running into tho projecting banks.
At a distanco of sixteen miles from tho
entrance wo reach Hoquarton, Lincoln,
or Tillamook as it is severally styled, the
county seat of Tillamook county. This
is the largest settlement in the country,
is the county seat and is a thriving and
prosperous fittlo town. It is situated at
tho northern extremity of tho Hoquarton
prairie, at the head of navigation, and has
all the natural elements of successful
erowth. Tho country immediately sur
rounding Lincoln is fertile and yields
good grain and root crops ; tho town is
headquarters for a large settlement. Until
recently a saloon in tho placo had things
pretty much its own way but now the
proprietor feels like one who treads alono
some banquet hall deserted, as the good
templars have displayed renewed interest
in the formation of Tillamook Lodge No.
415, which at present boasts of 55 mem
lers. The climate of this valley, and in
deed tho whole country U similar to our
own county; cool foggy mornings, brac
ing breezes from the ocean throughout
the day, bright sunshine and a nevor fail
ing rain supply. Tillamook is emphati
cally a dairy country ; in that industry
lies its greatest present source of wealth
though the natural resources of the coun
ty appear almost inexhaustible. To the
sporUman and hunter it offers unrivalled
attractions. Its waters teem with fish ;
its woods aro full of game from quail to
grizzly bears, and whether it bo fur, fin or
, feather that tho tourist seeks he can be
L amply accommodated. There are few
sections of Oregon which contain more
vacant land than Tillamook county. It
was more to look into this matter of land
than forany otho rpurpose that we visited
Tillamook, as there is constant inquiry
from intending settlers.
The best land in Tillamook county is of
course, taken up, and some of it has been
in pasture for a generation ; there is very
little cultivated land; the chief reason
seems to be that a good living nnd an
easy one can be made from dairying and
stock raising, by those who were fortu
nate enough to get in to Tillamook at an
early day. Anyone coining in now, if he has
some money can buy good land at what
wo consider cheap figures. He ought to
have enough over after buyi-ig his land to
stock it, and with a fair industry ho can
make money and grow rich. The settler
without means can find good opportunities
to make a home. He can homestead or
pre-empt 160 acres and from tho start can
make a living for himself and family.
1 no waters would give him trout that a
king would enjoy, tho shores and inlets
abound with clams, his rifle ought to fur-
msa lum with plenty of fresh meat, and
a garden patch can give vegetables which
neeil but planting to grow. But without
he has grit, energy and goaheaditiveness
ho cannot expect to amount to anything.
It is hard work ; there is brush to cut
down, land to clear, tho sunlight must bo
let in, roads must bo made, and though
such a life has attractions for the men
who go to make up a country, it might
scare a lazy man or a slouch who prefers
to stand with his hands in his pockets
if ho started on such a job. Tho reward
is certain. An anxious man whose wants
are few can in a few years have a fine
homo for him and his children as long as
they wish to keep it. But anyone who
wants a soft job has no use in going to
such a country as wo traveled through
tho first three days of this week. Nature
has done much for Tillamook country ;
sho has been lavish in her gifts ; she fur
nishes soil, climate and resources of great
value. There aro in Tillamook county
men who discourago immigration, men
who think now peoplo and the bustle of
industry may interfere, with their present
pastoral style of life. They aro well-to-do
because they couldn't help themselves,
and are unable to see that nothing can
so add to their own prosperity as the
coming of industrious men.
It is not the province of this articlo to
attempt any description of the county.
From where tho Nehalem flows into the
ecean JJto that wido tract of country
towards the Ncstucca, which was burned
over many years ago, and is now practi
cally a prairie, there is throughout a di
versified area of land that might justify
any intending settler on any part to tako
up an unoccupied tract and improve it.
Along Trask river, and farther south on
the Tillamook, is a stretch of country
that ought to be made produce a largo
amount of dairy exports, and what is
needed- most is men to open up the
country.
A Cradle of Oreat States.
The New York Times says there is a
line of five Territories lying between Min
nesota and the Pacsfic Ocean, upon tho
development of which the Northern Pa
cific railroad is destined to have a re
markable effect. Their united area ex
ceeds by more than 100,000 square miles
that of the entire rango of Atlantic Estates
from Maine to Florida, which comprised
the original union of States, and they
contain some of the richest lands on
which tho sun shines. Tho great streams
of migration from all directions are pour
ing over their eastern and western fron
tiers and building up the material for
great States. Farms spread over the
plains and through the country as if by
magic, and towns spring up in a month at
the touch of enterprise and industry. De
posits of priceless minerals await tho
miner, and water power of stupendous ex
tent is wasting itself on cataracts and wild
streams alive with undisturbed fish. Cap
ital and labor, eager as they aro for pro
fitable employment, are embarrassed by
the extent of their unused opportunities
in the great Northwest.
A letter from Portland, Oregon, gives
some idea of the rapidity with which imp
utation is pouring into that region and
preparing to work its unlimited resources
and of the impetus which will be given
to its development by tho completion of
the great northern lino of transcontinen
tal communication. As soon as the main
iinets through it will begin to throw out
branches and feeders into the adjacent
Territory and make connections in every
direction. The process is destined to go
forward on a scaloand with a momentum
unknown before. From the very nature
of its attractions this region is acquiring
a population of an industrious, sturdy
and useful character. It has no use for
idlers. Capital and industry aro tho
means of winning the prizes it offers, and J
PORTLAND, OREGON,
people are going in from tho settled States
and from foreign lands, and they are of
the witio awake and industrious kind.
For these Territories census statistics
grow old in three years. The enumera
tion of 1880 put the population of Wash
ington Territory at 75,110. Our corres
pondent believes that before the end of tho
present year it will bo 175,000 and by tho
closo of 1884 225,000. Dakota, on the
cast of this great range of Territories, had
in 1880 a population of 135,177, which
was more than twice that of tho State of
Nevada. It has been growing with great
rapidity since, and probably does not at
tho present moment fall far short of 200,
000. These two Territories will probably
next winter ask foradmission to tho Union
of States. A movement looking to that
has already begun in Dakota. Indeed,
the question of admission of tho southern
part of tho Territory has already been
agitated at Washington, and it was oj
posed on tho ground that Yankton coun
ty had repudiated certain bonds. That
stain has already been removed, a new
location has been fixed for a permanent
capital at Bismarck, and it is probable that
by the time Congress meets a State Con
stitution will bo presented for acceptance.
In Washington Territory action is a lit
tle mare tardy, but is likely to como very
soon. Should these two territories apply
for admission next winter, one as the sister'
of Oregon and tho other as the next neigh
bor of Minnesota, there is every reason
why they should tako their places in the
Union in timo to have part in tho election
of tho next President. Their population
will bo more than sufficient to entitlo them
to a Representative in Congress, and their
material development will givo them the
right to a full share in the government of
the country, of which they will form an
important and growing part. Their ad
mission would add at least six to tho
number of Presidential Electors and the
votes of their peoplo would represent an
intelligence and character equal to that of
the best of tho younger States. Montana,
Idaho and Wyoming will soon be follow
ing with equul strides in tho race of de
velopment, and tho great northern lines of
States will in a few years bo complete,
and they will unquestionably add greatly
to tho strength as well as to tho wealth of
the 'Union.
Good Vacant Land Not Far From Portland.
This is what the Hillsboro Indeiien
dent has to say about a foot hill region in
Washington county :
Two weeks ago, in company with
Messrs. A. H. Garrison and S. I). Powell,
we went out into tho mountainous coun
try north of Dairy cieck and east of Ne
halem, from twelvo to fifteen miles from
Forest Grove, to examino the character of
a largo body of land reputed to bo valu
able for stock range and farming pur
poses ; and wo were surprised to find it
much better land than wo expected, easily
cleared and even. Messrs. A. H. and J.
M. Garrison havo taken up two claims at
the very beginning of tho tillable land, in
Township two, rango three, west of tho
Willametto meridian, tho former's being
government, nnd the latter' railroad land.
On tho mountain sido toward the
South fork of Dairy creek, running west
forthreo miles at a distance of a milo or
two from tho creek, and about five hun
dred feet abovo its bed, aro a succession of
flats or bodies comparatively oven land
coursed by creeks fed by springs of purest
and coldest water, tho many flats being
divided by creeks running in steep can
yons. Tho first fiat, beginning at the
Garrison's claim, is more or less wooded,
covered with maple, cedar and fir, with
an undergrowth of vino maple, aider and
hazel, and the wild pea in somo parts is
as thick as oats and from two to five feet
high. There is an extensivo lxxly of fir
on this flat that would make good lum
lcr, trees often rising to a liight of 200 to
300 feet high, 25 feet in circumference
and CO to SO feet to tho limbs. This flat is
big enough for a tier of half a dozen
farms of 40 acres each, if each occupant
would Ijo satisfied to take 40 acres moun
tain and 40 acres prairie land. AIkivo this
flat is another lxxly of land which
we will call Hig Flat. The timlier on this
flat is mostly killed and much of it is de
nuded of undergrowth. There are aider
fiats along tho brooks and creeks that
flow through it and some small marshes
which could 1k. easily drained and turned
into excellent meadow land. The soil on
this flat is much lighter than on the ono
wo have just described and fern grows
rank and abundant. It is much wider too
than tho flat In-low, and would afford land
for several furms. Abovo this, east of
"Lookout Mountain," and south of "Green
Mountain," is what is called "Volcano
Flat." It is a largo basin wooped out in
the mountains which is interspersed with
moundii, ridges and alder flats, the latter
being quite rich anil would lo capital for
meadow or vegetables. Tho most of this
flat has a light friable soil and is covered
FRIDAY, JULY
with fern, and tho timber has been burned
out leaving big cedar and fir stumps.
Clover would grow here and afford fine
pasture. Mr. Garrison found a bco tree
on this flat. The streams we aro told aro
full of trout, and we saw plenty of deer
sign and some deer. A mile and a half
west of this flat is another largo body of
land in a "big burn" on which Charley
White, who lives near Reedville, has lo
cated a stock ranch. We did not have
time to visit this land but are informed
by W. D. Tittingcr and others who have
hunted in that region, that it is valuable
for settlement. Mr. Pittengcr says also
that there is a still larger body lying to
tho north of Volcano Fat that is still bet
ter for farming and stock raising than
any we have described.
Wo also examined a body of land north
of tho first fiat lying on tho north side of
the ridge where two or three farnjs might
easily bo got. This land, too, is fertile,
and has been burned over so that clearing
would bo comparatively easy. There
is plenty of cedar, mostly dead and
down, to make shingles, lumber and
fencing.
On the higher reaches of this mountain
land, as Volcano Flat, for instance, snow
lies on until about April, as vegetation is
not advanced so much by two or three
weeks as on tho first flat. But this would
have the advantago of tho lower land in
not being subject to scvero frosts in the
spring and autumn, and fruits would do
much better thore. The southern sido
would be good for tho culture of grapes
and peaches.
Perhaps there are in the region wehavo
described nearly two townships fit for set
tlement, most of it easier cleared than
that in the valleys which fetches from $5
to $10 an acre, and much of it being bet
ter than that now held at $20 and $40 an
acre.
Mr. A. H. Garrison, who is anxious to
have this, region settled, wishes to guide
persons who wish to see this country, and
ho is acquainted with it, having traveled
and hunted over it for many years. It is
nonsenso to go east of tho mountains
when such land as this can bo had six or
eight miles from Greenville, and but two
or tbreo miles from settlements on Dairy
and Quick's creeks.
Carp and Carp Culture.
Tho very general interest felt in fish
culture, and especially in carp, justifies
printing every scrap of information on tho
subject. In this vioiV the following ex
tract from tho fifth annual report to tho
Bureau of Labor and Statistics of New
Jersey, will bo accepted gratefully by
many readers. The paper is by Milton 1'.
Pierce, assistant United States Fish Com
missioner: The carp is partial to stagnant waters
with a loamy or muddy bottom, rich in
aquatic plants. They will live and thrive
in water where most other fishes could
not possibly exist, such as small pools in
bog-meadows, or in localities affording no
regular outlet. Of course, it must not bo
expected that such waters will produce as
good flavored fish as pure waters.
Tho carp subsists upon vegetables, and,
to some extent upon worms, larvio of
aquatic insects, etc., which it turns up
from the mud with its head, or gathers
from aquatic plants. It will not refuse
the olful of tho kitchen, slaughter-houses,
breweries, etc. It attains a much moro
rapid growth in warm waters. In a
climate where tho water freezes or lie
comes quite cold, they will hibernate by
burrowing in the mud. This they gener
ally do in groups of fifty or moro. They
select a deep place, and forco their
heads down till nothing but their tails are
visible uIjovo tho mud, and sometimes they
disapjiear entirely. They group in con
centric circles and remain immovable,
scarcely raining their gills for the purjxtso
of breathing. In this iiosition they con
tinue till the water Womes quite warm
again, during which time they do not tako
a particle of food, and what is very re
markable, (luring thishilxirimtioii they do
not diniini-li in weight, but uiKin leaving
their winter quarters at once commence
feeding and increasing in weight.
The carp is a prolific breeder. A female
carp, weighing fivo jtouiids, contains live
hundred thousand eggs. In the middle
States it will probably commence spawn
in May, while in southern States it will
spawn earier and continue later, and in
the north vice versa.
When all tho conditions are favorable,
tho growth of the carp is almost incredi
ble. The ago of the oldest carp that I
havo ever seen, was hut three and half
years, and they weighed fourteen jioimds
each. They wero of tho " leather" variety,
and had never received a particle of arti
ficial food, but had an ample jxinil rich in
natural food. Tho growth of can), of
course, depends much utmn certain con
ditions. The best results are attained in
6, 1883.
small ponds of warm water, which of
course are more rich in natural food sup
ply than are large, deep cold bodies of
water.
Overstocking of ponds would Ik) attend
ed with the same results as the overstock
ing of pastures with cattle. Large, deep
bodies of cold water, with stony or gravelly
bottoms, are not favorable to tho success
ful growth of carp. Their growth will
vary from year to year in tho same waters,
aeconime as the season is a cold or warm
one, very much as farm crops will vary
according to tho season. The season lias
undoubtedly much to do with tho food
supply of waters, It has been practically
demonstrated that tho waters of this
country mo far richer in fish food thai,
those of Europe.
To what ago to carp live? How Iarce
will they grow? These are questions fre
quently asked. Those who choose to
learn by experiment arc advised to com
mence tho propagation of century plants,
expecting to seo them bloom. There arc
carp in some of tho preserves in Austria,
known to bo about 150 years old. There
is an authentic record of a carp being
taken which weighed ninety pounds anil
numerous records of their weighing from
seventy-five all tho way down to thirty-
tivo or forty pounds, tho latter weight not
being usual. Carp known to bo but fifteen
years old havo been taken, weighing from
forty-five to fifty pounds each, and oven
more in somo few cases. A fifty pound
carp is said to bo about four feet in length
oy three leet m circumference.
I have not been ablo to obtain any data
showing very accurately tho number of
pounds of carp which can be raised in a
given area of water, but by a careful ex
amination of all obtainable data, I find
that their a crago growth in European
ponds, in tho latitude of New England,
is more than two pounds each annually.
Wo may reasonably expect better results
in this country, particularly in more south
ern latitudes. In Europe, hundreds of
thousands of acres of tho most fertile lands
aro devoted to carp culture, which is pretty
positive proof that these areas of tho most
profitable account. Tho propagation of
carp, in Euprope, is becoming universal,
and is prosecuted on every imaginable
scale, from immense artificial lakes down
to tanks holding but a few cubic feet. It
is said that in China carp are reared to a
great extent in ordinary wash-tubs, and
fed with vegetable refuse.
what tbe Orange Did In Michigan.
In a recent address, C. L. Whitney,
Post Lecturer of Michigan State Grange,
said :
What aio tho benefits of membership?
The truo object of tho grange is not a
financial Having, but the elevation of tho
social and educational condition of the
farmer. It has, however, been financially
of immense benefit to its members.
One instance is tho famous "plaster
war" in Michigan. Tho plaster urinilors
clubbed together and formed tho North
western Plaster Company. Then they
set the prico of plaster at $1 a ton, and
declared it could not bo made for less.
.Some 80,000 of this are used annually in
.Michigan, and the Slate Grange took the
matter under consideration. They went
to work, built a mill and furnished it at
$Hh ton, and made a large profit. The
Northwestern Company camo down to $2
a ton and the State Grange to $1.50.
Trade left tho Northwestern mill and
went to tho Grange mill till, finally, the
Northwestern Company could not sell
their plaster at fifty cents a ton. What
was the result? Why it was found that
plaster could I") furnished at a fair profit
at $2 a ton, which has established the
prico from that day to this. Hero is a
saving of $2 a ton on 80,000 tons, or
$100,000 to tho farmers of .Michigan, and
in the six years this mill has been run
ning it has amounted to U(50,000, Somo
financial hcm-flt surely.
Another case is the matter of freights,
wherein a small fruit section saves each
season from $ 1,000 to $0,000.
What Every Boy Bhould Learn.
Every boy should learn to lift himself
by his hands, anil to hold on for some
time. It is not necessary to go to a gym
nasium to learn this. Boys in the country
in climbing trees am soon able to lift
themselves by tho hands. It is a good
thing to have a jxile placed horizontally,
just high enough to allow the feet to be
clear from the ground. With tliis and a
rojio of good si.o hanging down from a
secure fastening, many useful foots may
Ikj learned. The x and roxi moy lx
under a shed or in the barn. To lift tho
body by tho hands and to move along on
tho ik)1c, to hang by ono hand and to
swing in various ways will strengthen the
arms and hands. Tho rox ic-niittsi of the
most difficult feet of climbing it. At first
learn to climb the roje by the aid of tho
feet, pressing tho rojo lotwecn them.
NO. 31.
After this learn to go up, using tho hands
only. In going down novor slide, but go
down hand-under-hand, otherwise tho
hands may be badly hurt. One who can
command himself whilo on a ropo may at
times find the ability to do so very useful,
It is easily acquired, and tho timo spent
in such exercises is not by any means
wasted.
Orange Thought
In tho busy farming season grange
work must not bo wholly neglected. It is
true, tho crops and other farm interests
require constant care, and this tho pru
dent farmer will give ; but there aro in
terests of primary importance that do not
appeal to physical effort so much as to
the mind. Tho grango looks to the
outcome as well as to tho methods of
labor. Sowing and reaping lead to profit
only as they aro directed by intelligence',
and however full tho rewards, as measured
in tho crops, they arc of small account to
the farmer except as they may bo wisely
bestowed. Thought must como in to di
rect. And tho collective wisdom of the
grange, in this case, is better than un
aided thought of tho individual. Hence
tho vnluo, even tho necessity, of confer
once, for which tho grango it an available)
means, tho efficient agent. While it inv
poses no harsh conditions, it offers freely
tho lessons of experience, of observation,
tho products of thought applied to the
great interest that becomo tho easy prey
of designing men when left to individual
caro.
The Crop Outlook.
During Tuedy we interviewed a good many
farmers, millers and grain dealers, gentlemen
of intelligence and observation from various
parts of Walla Wall, Umatilla, Columbia aid
Garfield counties, and 'we are pleased to stats
that they all agree in pronouncing the fall
wheat everywhere as good as could be wished.
None thought the fall grain required rain, but
nearly all were of the opinion that rain now,
followed by hot weather, would do more harm
than good. The heads are reported filling
finely, with enough sap in tho stalks and
moitturo In the ground to make the berry
plump and full. One farmer with 440 aores
of fall wheat declared ho would not sell hll
growing crop for 45 bushels per acre. Some
of the gentleman interviewed by us thought
that a large portion of tho spring wheat
whioh, by tho way is only a very small part
of the wholo, would give fair yield without
rain; others were of tho opinion that rain
would not save the late sowing, whioh is a
still smallor portion of the total. Making an
average of all tho reports we obtained from
over a score or morn of practical, observing
men, who have been over tho country, w
conclude that the crop of fall wheat in Walla
Walla, Columbia, Garfield and Umatilla
counties will bo greater in quantity than In
any provlous year, and equal in quality to
any former year. Wo aro also satisfied from
the reports of tho crops in the Willamette
and California, and tho yield on the l'aciflo
Coast will be small this year, thus insuring a
good price for Walla Walla. IK. W. Union.
No Puffery.
Nothing can be mora offensive, to conscien
tious journalism than indiscriminate puffery.
Hut it is a nlcasuro to speak candidly and cor
rectly in praise of such a medicine as Hunt's
Remedy for tho kidneys, bladder, liver and
uiinary organs t a speciflo and positive cure
that has been before tho public for twenty,
five years, ami has rescued from suffrring and
the grave even the victims of Ilright's Disease,
The facts in regard to Hunt's Remedy, the
great kidney and liver medicine, aro attested
by high authority.
The Proper Eacts.
A. Mathiot, tho well-known grain dealer
of Walla Walla, writing to the Ortijonian In
reference to an interview with Hon. Philip
Ritz about the Inland Umpire wheat pros,
pect, says :
Allow mo a small space in your columns to
express my views, ami when the season Is
over you will see that I was not far from tho
maik. While anyone will allow that rain
would havo done some (jooil if it had fell
some teii days ago, still it is not particularly
niedeil. Wo have been having remarkably
fine weather, the nights being cool and dur
ing the day it has not been an warm as usual
for the time of year. The fall who it is ripen
ing slowly and finely, and Is entirely out of
danger and will he ready for harvest bv the
20th of July, and will be of superior quality
and of heavy yield. Many fields will
yield from thirty-fivu to forty, and some as
hi'idi as fifty bushels per acre. The barley
emp is remarkably good, ami will be one of
the best ever raiseil in this country. The
spring wheat is in bloom audit woui 1 have
done better with a good shower, hut still, with
the exception of a few locations, it will do
well and will be a fair yield without any rain,
Take it all in all the country eastof the moun
tains has no reason to fear or complain and
the best harvtst ever gathered can now be
looked for, and it is perfectly safe to lay that
ono-thiril, if not oue-half, more wheat will be
shipped out of this country than was ever
shipped before in one season, and that the fall
wheat particularly will bo of fine quality.
After rating each meal take a dose of
