WILLAMETTE FARMER: PORTLAND, OHEION, OCTOBER If), 18-3. SMALL FAItMS A'D SMALL DAIRIES. It is n. question, with fanning a- with other interests, whether it can be ilone with profit on a small scale. If vvc hail active farmer's clubs in every neighbor hood that would be a good subject to dis cuss. Wo believe that any farm can be handled with profit where it aflords en tire occupation for one man's time. In case the farm is small it must bo used to make the most wages off of the labor at its command. Of course, the farmer at few acres will not sow all his small farm to wheat and the question arises : What will pay small farming best? Much de pends on the character of the soil. Take a rich piece of bottom land, or beavcr- dam land, and a man can farm twenty acres so as to produce large jields of some crops. Dairying is carried on ex tensively at the East and creameries es tablished that take the milk of all the sur rounding country, but we uo not see that there is absolute necessity for dairy ing to be conducted on such a large scale, or any reason to fear that small dairies will not pay well if well managed. Let us see : A man with forty acres of good soil, that will produce grass well, can have his garden and orchard and devote the remainder to fodder crops and mead ow and pasture. The farmer with a dozen average cows can make 300 pounds of butter a year from each of them He can purchase his bread and meat and not depend on producing anything ex cept fruit and vegetables and what the hen yard can supply. Any ordinary family should take care of a dozen cows and raise all they require except some mill feed and oil cake meal. They can "soil" the cows, that is cut green grass for them and make it go much farther than if pastured. Hay can be put up and some roots grown and the dairy can be conducted with scientific skill to make the most of the labor and sou. Here is where "book farming" will come in to advantage. To conduct a dairy, even on a small scale, the experience of others will be of use and by it the farmer can recuperate the soil as he calls on it for crops, so that ho will not exhaust it by too great demands. Take the small dairy farm that has a good reputation for its "gilt edged" but ter and each cow can be made to earn $100 a year, and by judicious crossing of ordinary cows, that are good milkers, with Jerseys or Holsteins, the grade calves will bo worth something hand some besides. Such a farmer and dairy man will be apt to have a wife to handle the milk, and to assist in milking. The man and boys can easily (as families are constituted) take care of the farm and raise all that the cows and family need. The income will bo $1,200 to $1,500 a year and much of it can be added to the principal. There is no danger of over- doing butter making if you make good butter. You can soon establish a repu tation if you deserve one, and a good reputation has coin value. How to pro vide pasture and meadow land and what else to raise as food for the cows is a mat ter of great interest. There are books that give the best information, easy to procure, and the subject is well worth arguing by farmers in our columns. The point we touch now is the possi bility of making dairying on a small scale profitable. If a dozen cows can give an income of $1,000 to $1,500 a year, whick is certainly possible, then the auestion comes up about pasture and meadow and what feed will be easiest purchased or produced and will have the best effect. There are many topics to treat in this connection and very inter esting topics, that we will merely call attention to : let The value of soils for grass and the .way to prepare meadow and pasture. 2d. The nature of grasses and the a- rieties best suited to different soils as welf as the alue for feeding dairy cows. 3d. The best way to feed milch cows; the value of mill feed; the way to mix eowfeed; whether pasturing will give as good'returns as cutting green fodder and and feeding it, which is called "soiling." 4tb. Whether thoro are fodder plants that' will pay better than grasses for dairy use and how to cultivate and use them. 5th. About putting down fodder in silos?or use instead of making hay. This vis a matter of prime importance. We can grow sorghum, corn, peas, rye, oats and wheat, and various things to make ensilage, and it has been proved that ensilage is easily made in Western Oregon. 6th. The value of dairy stock comes in for argument. We know that some breeds are very valuable and it is proved that for dairy use grade cows do as well as the full bloods. The profit of im proving the breed of milch cows in con nection with a dairy is a matter of im portance. Besides these there are many other points to think and talk and write about and we invite dbcussion. . We lately purchased a Jersey grade lieifer'calf of a friend and soon after a I breeder of Jerseys saw it and r IF rul nl moU double its cost. A good gr.ule heifer is worth !f(!0 to f75 with her litt calf, and whoever goes into the business can have a safe feeling that prices of dairy products and dairy stock will not soon decrease. USE OF A FARM JOURNAL Our Northwestern country is on the threshold of great events. Wo do not mean that great events are to transpire and astonish the world suddenly, but the growth and development of our region will assume importance and challenge the admiration of the world. The rich land that exists all through the 1'acific Northwest will bo settled and farmed and production will assume first class importance. That will necessitate the settlement of these States with intelli gent and enterprising people. Railroads will penetrate every district and stimu late population double and in sure great n suits. We may nell bo classed as "on the threshold of great events." The prico of a newspaper depends, on its patronage. Material and labor are much higher here than east of the Mis souri river. Yet, if we recicvo such a support as we shall try to deserve it will be possible, in a few years, to put down the subrcription of the Willamette Far mer to one dollar a year. It will be the fault of the farmers themselves if vvc do not do so. At the present price two dollars it is the cheapest newspaper published in the State. We already see favorable re sults and believe the farmers of the North Pacific realize the benefit of hav ing such a journal striving to advance their prosperity. This country will be second to none in its importance to the world. As a producer it will leculate the supply of breadstuff's to the old world and hold the balance of power with the new. Endow the farming area of Oregon and Wash ington with productive energy and wc shall annuallj export over 50,000,000 bushels of grain and need a thousand of great ocean carriers to take away the surplus breadstufts. Not only that, but we shall send to market from the hills and plains, where our herds feed, tons of thousands of stock animals of all kinds. Our climate and soil admit of varied products and we can become producers of all things needed to support life. Our mining resources are so great and varied that they will employ a large populatitn that will enrich home production by its wants. All things point to an illustrious future. If farmers can prosper anywhere, they should do so here. Among other neces sities they will require an independent press that will educate the young as well as interest the older ones; that will be the representative of good farming; a medi um for farmers to express their view s and asaeit their rights and that will ably and independently maintain their rights without fear or favor. We look to the future with confidence that it will furnish a large field for effort and determined to fill that Hold to the satisfaction of the farmers of the Northwest. The interests of agriculture grow broader and more important, fully keeping pace with the progress which the country is making in other respects. The producer will need, more than ever, a faithful advocate. We know no higher duty and ask no bettor destiny than to assist in establishing a good system of agriculture and in maintaining the rights of the producer against the world. NUT-BEARIHa TREES. Our region has one fault that we have often regretted and is noticed by visit ors, that is, we have no nut-bearing trees. The Middle States of the Union have great forests that abound with nuts of all kinds. We have seen the ther mometer mark zero there and bought pork that fattened on the range and was "as fat as butter." The pigs ran wild and became fat hogs running in dense woods where every tree was nut bearing. Every bush and tree literally abounded in jnast,and swine throve upon it, while with us there is only theoakwhich occasionally bears acorns, and hazel nuts add their mite onco in a while. That it the extent of nutrbearing trees and bushes in this region. We have read about some chestnut trees planted twenty years ago near Portland that bear nuts now, that are said to have great excellence. We see walnuts bear ing well in different places, and, so far as we can form an opinion, nut-bearing trees do well here. Under these circumstances, could not our farmer friends send to friends Ea6t for.good seed and plant out trees of dif ferent nut-bearing species in the place of shade and ornamental trees about the old homesteads? It is well worth the trial, and now is the season to plant the nuts, K we commend the matter to pub lic attention. If a man only wants a fivv trees, ho can buy of our leading nui'Ciy men Tho-e who have taken up timber cultiuo claims might tiy the ex periment of planting shell-bark hickory nuts on a large scale.

Samuel Rich, a pioneer of Umrxiua valley, is dead. The fall term of the public school in Astoria is in session. Mrs B. F. Whitson, a pioneer of K ttitas valley, is dead. The heaviest tax-payer in Jackson county is C. E. Tilton; S25.000. At the Eureka school districi, Yakima county, a school teacher is wanted. The pioneers of Seattle and Olympia are to hold meetings this week to organize an asso ciation. The Whatcom academy, now in charge of Rev. Mr. Walfe, will be opened early iu No vember. Corner lots are selling at $300 each in the new town of Grant' Pass, on the Oregon and California road. Daring the month of September there were 380 men employed iu the mines at Carbonado, VV. T., and the company p'anked down $25.- 401 for wages. Total amount of tlio value of property at- a.rsed m Union county, O t-gon. is set donn a $2,075,000; an increase) of $250,000 over 1 !t year. The Tacoma Ledger save: An o der has been received at the railro.fl shop for six new mail and express cars, the work ot construct ing wlncn wul be commenced at once. The Yakiuia Record says: S. C. Davidson, Esq.. who is interested in the Pole Pick mines, returned from the supervision of a sat isfactory "clean up" the last of the week. This mioe has a large quantity of paying ore. The Ashland Tidings says that Joaquin Miller's mother, 01 er GO years old, was mar ne 1 the other day to a yonng man just past nit majority. She lives in Line county, and her former husband, Joaquin's father, died lets than a year ago. A largo amouit of excellent soighum has been manufactured in Jackson aud Josephine counties this year, and the industry seems to he gron ing rapidly. Some of the canes hare been injured by the recent frost and it unfit 1 r use. So says the Jacksonville Times. The yearly supplies for the Indian schools at I'tiyallup, Chehalis and Skokomish, VV. T., ill under agent Ki-lla' direction, have pretty much all arrived, over one hundred invoices coming to Tacoma. It costs the government abo'it (40,000 annually to maintain these schools. The railroad company proposes to utilize the right of way granted it some time ago, by constructing a track along the entire water front of Seattle. The work hat been placed miller contract, and the necessary piles are in. v being made, so that the very near future will see this improvement accomplished. The Cascade wagon road is being pushed to early completion. Yakima a d the Sound co-iutrist will p'stesa a value little appreci ated now. When finished it much needed highway between the Yakima it will greatly lurten the time and expense of freight and passenger travel between the two sections. The Baker Reveille sayt that the railing to i- used to enclose the grave of Oregon' first zovarnor has been taken to Eigle valley. Gov. Gale was well and favorably known all over the coast, and was a man of fine natural ability. He died poor, but were it not for hit good deeds ne mignt nave been the wealthiest man on the coast. Of Cape Hancock station the Astorian saysi Captain Al. Harris, of the life-saving ttition at (Jape Hancock was in the city yesterday. In answer to a question as to how that im portant branch of the public service was get- tins along, ne tarn very slow. I he crew Is supposed to go on duty October 1st. A new boat is needed. Says the Tacoma Ledger of the 16tn : The evening tram yesterday arriving from Kalama was crowded to excess with passengers from the Eitt. The train made connection with the first emigranttrain over the Northern Pa cific, which was crowded. The passengers express great admiiation for tbecomfortLle and commodious emigrant can running on that road. The Lewis County, W, T . Nugget fur nishes the following items; Joe Smith bat been held in Chehalis county in $4000 for the Killing of II. Day Lockwood, and is at lib erty. The other day our county surveyor had a party 01 lour men out surveying with him. and the combined ages of the four amounted to 240 ) eir. The citizens of Toledo favor a licenii fee of $1000 forfill saloons. A report from the 'front' of the Cedar river, V. T., nxtetiMon, reads iu this way : Fur eighteen or nineteen miles south east of Seat tle the river vallevs are just full of railroads, thousands of men, hundreds of horses, multi tunes of tents, tins of supplies, and tools and timbers anil rails altogether too numerous to mt ution. The different roadc will shortly send locomotives shrieking into Seattle, be hind which will bo drawn trains laden with 3 al and agricultural products, raw material and manufactured goods, from local trade centers and from the great commercial cities of the east. Last week Mr. Tillman Howaer, of Kitti tas, W. T sold to Mr. Johnson, of Ellens burg, 1600 bushels of wheat, oats and barley. He received 60 cents for the wheat and oats and 55c for tho barley. The unsettled con dition of the market is doubtless caused by tbe vacillating and unsettled proceedings of the railroad company with reference to the construction of their line through this section. A few months since the company precipitated a force of several hundred laborers into the canyon above town, and it looked as though work on the road was to be pushed forward vigorously, but now nearly all this foroe has been discharged or withdrawn. Very positively the Sesttle PosHotelli gencer savs that the Chiueso are coming into the territory from British Columbia, by way of New Westminster and Whatcom, is not to be donbted. Every week half a dozen or more come by that route that is, those who are known to come, while many more probably come of whom lesa is known. Oj the Wash ington la it Friday four came who there was abuadant reason for believing were straight from New Westminster. The fellows were afraid to land here at first, and hid on arrival of the boat, to prevent discovery. They after wards shipped up town, and now, aa far as detection is concerned, are undoubtedly lost to the law officers. Writing about the fall business in cattle, the Yakima, W. T., Signal says : The fall 'round-up" of cattle on the range lying be tween the Yakima and Columbia was brought to a close this week. Fioin Nicholas McCoy, ono of the leading cattle men of this section, we learn that notwithstanding the fact that there has been no rain during the summer. tho crass is still green, so much so as to at tract the attention of stock men as something very unusual for this late in the season. The cattle, although found to be in fine condition, are by no means as numerous on the range as they were previous to the hard winter 0: laaA A circuit in which then would have beeu found as many as eighty thousand head, does not naw embrace as many as twenty thousand. The increased value of cattle largely compen sates, however, for the great falling off in numbers. The following is'the latest from the Union c mnty, Or., mines. The Record saysi Par ties from Eagle valley have given 113 informa tion concerning the opening up the old Gem mines near Sparta. A deep shaft has been sunk, and the aesavs that have been made are sufficiently encouraging to warrant a complete development ol the ledge. Capt. Ainsworth of Portland is one of the parties interested, and all the capital needed will be furnished to open the mines up in proper shape. About 30 men are employed on the work, and it is quite probable that old Gem town will bi restored to its former life and vigor. Messrs. Clough cfc Duucvn have been taking out $50 rock at Hogem, which is crushed with an arastra Another drift will be run wnere the old quartz mill stood, and this also bids fair to become a lively camp. Parties on Snake river h ive been making rich strikes this season Work has been shut down on the copper mines on account of the mow. CONSUMPTION CIKED.

As manr persons have objected to txlng asked to pay in adtance we reduce the subscription price to those wlw make adraace payment and shall never deviate from the terms stated. Tou can make money by prepayment, and we prefer that all should pursue that plan. We Intend to make a farmers' paper that every farmer In the land will need and wilt not willingly do without. We understand the interests of agriculture In all this region and intend to continually study and work for the advancement of the class we represent. We have correapot dents in all sections of the Pacific Northwest who will report the success of farm ing in every locality. We shall visit all sections at d personally report our observatiocs. We shall compile from our content poraries of the press all facta relating to development and progress, and material interests of farmers In all parte of the country. We shall keep pace with production In every At partment, and report, through correspondents and from personal obienatlon, all Important tacts concern ing farming In all its branches, including productions of grain, grasses, fruits ana vegetables; concerning stock raising, tl.o aluo of cattle for meat and for dairying; 0' horses for all purptses; of sheep for wool and mutton, or both ; of swine and poultry. Also, as to bees and hone. We shall continue to stud) the markets and Inform our patrons en all points, so that they will be able to Judge the situatisn for themselves. Our old patrons will bear witness we have worked faithfully, in this connection, In the past. We shall do so in the future No dall; newspaper In Portland has ever given the producers ot the country such clear views of the worlds crops atd markets as the Farmer often does. Our market reports hate been worth hundreds of thou sands to the producers of thla r-jlon. We shall cartfully cull such miscellaneous matter for use as will btneflt and Instruct both young and old. The Fariikr aims to be an educator in tvtry department of life. Our editorials will freely and Independently discuss every question that Interests the people from the standpoint of right. So far as we hae Influence, it shall be exerted in favor of good principles, good gov ernment, true religion, teinperanco and fcr education of the masses of the Genera, and State Governments. The Home Circle is edited by a lady of mature experience in the labors of the farmer, aud well acquainted with the wa)sof tho world. She interests herself In all the duties and pleasures of home. Thou sands beir witness to the good influence the Farmer exerts In man) homes to make tho lhcs of mothers, whes and children better and happier. It is as a famll) paper that the Farmer sustains the closest relations to tho people and exercises the most salutatory influence. The Willahetts Farmer Is not local in character, as the name might mislead ou to believe. It was named tllti.cn ) cars ao, when the Willamette Valley was Oregon, but It has expandtd and grown with the growth of the country and represents all the agricul ture ot Ortgon and Washington. This ts the farmer's own organ, open for all to relate experience, seek information, and state any grievance they may have to complain of against who ever and whatever seeks to oppress or deceive them. Our columns belong to the people, and the value of the Farmik chiefly depends on such popular utterances The Editor brings to )our assistance the experi ence of 33 years spent la this region; intimate knowledge of the country; many years connection with agriculture and twelve ) ears' acqualatanca with many of you In the columns of the Farmer. The reduction o' prices ! made In expectation that it will bring ininased clrc ulatlou. We ask every fr end to aid us in that respect, and shall appreciate the wood will of ail who do so.
