DriiiN'd the past month, and in fact nil the post fall, we havo had a pleasant increase of nainos on our Mib-cription list. With this iimnhor wo commence tho now year, enter upon 18Sl,and with in a few weeks wo Bhnllcoiiiiucneoanew volume of the Kaiimkk. During tho month of January we complete fifteen years of newspaper lif. Wo have hecn with you a long time, friends and we havo tried to servo you well. We know it is rather haid timo, but awry fanner in Oregon and Washington can s-pare-'f:! for a good newspaper. Do what you can to swell our subscription lint and you con fer the greatost favor possible. We are glad to know that moic clover and gras seed is sold in Oregon every year, for it means that our funnels are waking up to a knowledge that thCie is more money in a good pasture or meadow than in wheat growing. We lately met Mr. Alf. Hoveuden, who went Kat in Octobor and crossed tho ocean to' his early homo in Kngland. He till of the good pastures and line gi,npi grown in them, that will carry a grc.it number of animals, but Kngland ha- -i moi-t summer climato and grasses gi'nw theui all suinmur, while wo have diyMiinmeis, m cannot equal Knglish pastures'. Hut even here pastures can cany a gicat deal of stock and piove very piolit.ible. Many a fanner is winking hard to laise oi op- when he could make moie money with stock if he'd hud tcood justuie.

In practice he mates the fastest horse to the fa.to--t mare and tho product is an impiou'ineiit on both m a usual thing. In theory he advocate the iibo of tho pioduet of a trotter, .and a thoroughbred to pioduco a fa-t horse, while in prnctico he pays no attention to the thoroughbred blood but mates Hived with speed, and Mieceedi. at it. A New York eonojpondent in Cali fornia writeri a prophesy that, within five years not a ton of wheat will be bhipiHsl around Cape Horn, and that within twenty yen- wheat will be grown in California solely for Jiome demand. The lira! par of hU prediction is deriud from tho pieteniion of the Southern racitk ralhcuU to Ut able to cam- wheat to Galveston or Xew Orleans., to bo shipped thence to Europe. Ah to the olhor prediction, that wheat production ill leaao in California, he claims that while the hoil of the Pacific northwest gains by cultivation that of California losc,and while ngiicultute will ineren-o with u it iniivt diminish in California niitil wheat production h.ll ultlnmtely ocuse.

This writer says the world will soon prod uc more food than it can cat, but it never yet ban done so, and has barely a supply in this A. I). 1S83. There is much truth, however, in what he says besides that and in that ho has appearances with hiiii. up Amono all the great cllorts of the present Congress to accomplish what the people demand without doing anything to make either party objectionable- for tho coming prcidential election, it is not easy to see what will become of the tarifr question. The Democratic party is in a way pledged to tariff reform and will havo to study up what that trite saying may really mean. The Itopubli cans arc divided on the tariff question, some influential journals favoring free trade. Somo Democrats in Congress aro in favor of u piotective tarill' while a few Kepublicniib are in favor of free trade. Tho tiu iff question is decidedly mixed and it is piobable that very little chango will be made in the existing tariff law this winter. Congress is so evenly divided that no hasty legislation can be expected. While the Senate is Republi can the Jloimj is Democratic and parti san legislation need not be feared. Such a wholesome division of power in Con gress ought to insure wholesome legisla tion, but tho truth is that there will be little good accomplished. Each party will lie afraid of doing what may count against it next fall and in working for the pieidcncy will not do really good work for the people. Mil. Jlrcxnv Kieni: writes n- that they have formed a farmers club that meets at . the Kiene school house, near Aumsville. Heie is n good beginning that we hope .will extend through tho whole valley, and through all the coun try. There is a great deal to result from tho organization of such clubs. The members will meet and discuss farm topics and quote their own and their neighbors experience. They will tell what they read in agricultural journals and some of them will write up sketches of these meotings for the Farmer. Wo believe in fanners' meetings and clubs ; we believe in tho Orange; we believe in everything that brings farmers together and makes them work together. "We have no half way idea of matter?, but think tho produceis of tho country should have their full share of its wealth and pro-peiity. We think farmers should organize and co-operate to secure what they have a light to claim. When we hear nun talk of the extortion of coiporationh.it -oeius to u that we havo no right to complain. Having the 'strength and powoi'' tU-it Judge Noise tells about, we ought to tako cue of our elvc and see that no imposition i- practiced. Whi:n Gr.NKUU Chi.ton died the Con tral I'licihc lo-t a ery able man. For omo time the coiuts have been tiying toditcimiuc if ho had any interest in the rnilio.nl company. His heirs claim some millions as their shaie, but Hunt ingtuii, Staufoid and the rest, say he had veiy little interest. The opinion prtv.iils that his partners, the rnilroad manager-, wMi to cheat his estate. This litigition hai. brought to light ev end hundred letters that Mr. Hunting ton wrote Ceneral Colton fiom Wns-li-ington arid New York, in which he talks ultnit memhcrN of Congxess who were friendly and unfriendly to their compa ny, fin thehe litters Mr. Mitchell, of Oiegon, i plainly alluded to several timis. At one time ho was their friend and at another Jay (iould had him on his side. Theie wa plenty of money in tho railroad lobby .it that time and these letters from Huntington tend to prove that our Senator got his share of it. Such a thing is disgraceful to our State, but wo may hopo that our present Sena tors cannot l lought with money and will not fail in honest motives. For a year past the papers have been telling of tho efforts of the government to secure tho presence of ex-Senator Spencer, of AlaKmia, as a witness in the star route triaK Having secured hi presence they teui to haenouse for him, but ho gives his statement of Dorney's doings and nays he is only one of tho smallest of the operator; Unit Dorsey- had a Jong meeting with him yeats ago and win the nuvt abjirt crea- tuiii imaginable m uew of his guilty eonmvtion with these matteis. Spencer claims to have told 1 'Ostnuihter Ueneral .lanus, years ago, that he could give him the niot important information : but when (Uriield vu killed, James went out of ortlee and nothing has been done. According to Spencer' nana tho there bus been no honest intention to convict llratly and Dorv bv Bliss. The government luu conducted the sC- trials in a farcial manner to enablo the robbers to escape, and thoy havo es caped. Spencer says that all that was needed to comict them was to procure proper evidonce that was easily obtaina ble, but they did not do it. Merrick and Kerr, of the star route counsel for the government, have withdrawn therefrom, for the reason that they do not beliove that District Attorney Bliss has any in tention to convict Brady and Dorscy and they do not care about any longer assisting in a national farce, oven if they can get well paid for it. Conversing with somo good farmers the other day they united in asserting that they could grow good crops of corn on French prairie and average 3.j to 40 bushels to the acre, but they said tho difficulty lay in preserving the ocrn after it was grown. The corn spoils because moisture settles in the cob, which is of a upongy nature, the corn becomes mouldy in consequence. How to save the corn is the important question. To shell it immediately after it is ripe and kiln dry it in some easy way, would seem to be possible and ought not to be very expensive. If wo can average thirty bushels of corn, as these gentle men assert, then we can make all tho corn meal we need and instead of summer-fallowing land for wheat can grow a crop of corn alternate years. These same farmers remarked upon tho difference between corn fed pork and meat fattened on wheat. One was Mr. Alf. Hovenden, who has just re turned from a journey East and has vis ited Illinois. Ha asserts that tho corn fed pork of that State is not nearly equal to our wheat fed pork; that the corn fed is soft, oily meat. "Wo published, ten years ago, Mr. Tliomas Cross views to tho same effect. He then asserted that Oregon meats were worth on an average 2 cents per pound more than Eastern pork products for this same reason, and said tho U. S. Quartermaster at San Francisco put the same valuation on it. THE NEW YEAR. Tho time has come to mako another change and place another figuro to our date., This change comes regularly and mnkes tho passage of years. We cannot stop to moralize about matters and things but it comes natural as tho old yenrgocs out and the new year comes in to wi"h our friends "n Happy New Year" and exchange a few thoughts about the time. The passing years arc working a wondrous change in this region. Somo of us who have lived hero to see it re deemed from its wilderness state receive thoe changes with sincere satisfaction. It is a pleasure, to see at last railroads traversing different loute.s through our own near country, nnd to know that the iron mil is laid all tho way to tho further shore. We really belong now to the great world, and have intimato connec tion with it. Before this we havo been too remote and isolated to feel ourselves 10 ue intimately connected with the great world. A few ye.us moic will sec as many people occupying Oiegon and Washing ton as now occupy California. Befoie long we shall havo a million people here, and not very long, as the world iuhr, say half n century from now, population will swarm here ; great towns and cities, busy factories, a dene agricultural pop ulationall these will fill up the wide territory fiom the ocean on the west to tho Hocky Monntains on the east. Com parison of countries shows that on tho Atlantic, occupying the samo space wo occupy on tho Pacific, are New England, "New iork, ew Jersey and Pennsylva nia with lateen millions of nonnbuion. Think of tho time to come, which will ccrUiuly come too, when the population of the Pacific Xoithwcst will equal that of this corresponding territory on the Atlantic. A'e have seen great changes nnd are seeing rapid development now, but there are those now living in Oregon who will see what we speak of. The years go by and pass on ; generations will come and go until thronging mil lions will replace the fow thousands of today. It makes the heart leat quickr to think of it and think that when we are gone greater things will happen than we even know. A Woli Club to t formed. Mr. Lewis Pettyjohn has requested us to call the attention of wool growers and farmers xenerally to the fact that there will i a wolf elub formed in the dis trict, bounutMl a follows; South and west of the railroad from Salem to Jef- erson. .u unners living in the above deseriUxl district and all others who aie interested in exterminating wolves, etc., will please inett at the brick stor in South talem on f'aturdav, Janiurv 12. 18S1. ajvh i (,ti mr nine or place.

While wo honestly and sincerely do all wo can to advance tho interests of our class tho producers of the country we do not like to put their claims to consideration on the ground that so many do, that farmors as a class are much abused and do not get their just deserts. It seems humiliating to confess that they can be ill-used when they have such power and inflncnco tit their com mand. Every false claim is injurious to any cause. The exact tiuth is, that some farmers aro unsuccessful and others do woll under tho same circumstances. Farmers sell out and move away from this valley, because they cannot suc ceed here, and their places are taken by other farmors who thrive on the samo land these other ran in debt on. The samo fact is true of lines of labor from the highest professional to tho lowest worker. To place the truest construc tion on the farmers' condition he is master of the situation and ought to be a controlling power. By co-operation he can accomplish all he requires and bo all he ought to be. If he fails to assert himself and goes about complain ing that he is ill-used, doing so is merely calculated to lessen his standing. He complains too often of monopoly when, if he made himself felt in the world as he should, there would be no such mon opoly to complain of. He complains of tho cxacttions of middlemen when he refuses to support an agent of his own. Take the common field of politics : In this tho farmer, who control votes enough to rule tho county, plays a secondary part, very often, and allows the profes sional politician to "manage" him with out a reason therefor; farmers are divided in many respects, where they should pull together. That was what the grange was instituted for, to bring farmors together for united work in a common Tho rrranee became a cause of cause difference with many, rathor than a means of harmonious action. What shall be dono for and with the farmers ? This is a wise query : There is too many of him to manage easily and be lacks confidence in himself and all his neigh bors. He is rather to be envied for all that, "for the earth is his and the full ness thereof ;" next to the Omnipotence ho is king, but there is always too many of him to rale well or wiselv. ENGLAND, ILLINOIS AND OREGON. Mr. Alfred Hovenden, of French Prai rie, has recently returned from a visit to his old homo in England, which he left forty years ago, and from a visit to Illi nois whenco ho emigrated to Oregon thirty years ago. He gives an inteiest ing account of his experience in the old country where he hunted up friends of early days, visiting them in different parts of the country, at different occupa tions. He found them working away as their fathers had before them, haid work and small piolits. The fields seemed smaller than they used to; all England is but a small countrv, les in arena than our Pacific Northwest. One man was plowing with tho same plow Hoovnden saw his father use two score of years ago. Improvement and progress had been slow there in some pailicul.irs. People aro leaving wheat cultivation for grasses and root crops; their orchards were in grass almost entirely, and then pastures weio wonderfully good. The line grasses that fill the soil there mako excellent grazing and their damp -uni- mers that are very unfavorable for wheat, insure growing grasses through July, August and September. English pas tures carry such an amount of stock a- we wouiu noi ueneve possible. Tney set out a great deal of small fruits, siioh as currants, gooseberries, blackbcrrits and raspberries and they pay good profit. Stock raising is the chief business. He visited what was once the famous "Smithlield Market," in London, and saw cattle there from all sections. Grade short-horns make the best beof, or as good as auy; the Black Cttle, or polled Angus are good beef cattle also, apd with Devons and Herefords rank as large beef stock. About the most popu lar with the mmket men are the Irish breed of cattle, red with long tarring horns that aro ery hardy animals and make very sweet, good-llavored beef. They are small si?e, long bodied, close built and make very superior meat. They fatten but few swine in England but breed the very best known in the world. Sheep are entirely of the lanre. mutton breeds, Cotswold, Leicester, Southdown and Shrophshires. They hud no merino hheop that, he saw ; all were mutton and wool breeds combined and wether:, would average 100 pound diessed meat. What he was most surprised at was entire a ant of hospitality among the people of the common laboring class. He wouW alk ,mlM to ,iuut "P wine or woman who was loy or girl when he wn young and they would ac tuallv sit down to meals and not ask him to partake. One old fellow was pegging away at a pair of shoes and never stop ped to shake hands even wlicn he claimed old acquaintance. It seemed as if life was hard work and poor pay and left no chance to improve the social na tures of mankind. He found the old country disappointing in many points, and though ho enjoyed his visit he was astonished to sec how everything seemed changed and less than he had anticipa ted from his early remembrance. Before coming to Oregon, Hoenden had lived two years in Illinois and he stopped to see his friends there on his return home. There all was kind, pros perous and cheerful. Friends were glad and hospitable and he paid their good will by tolling about Oregon, showed them Oregon grain and ether things and backed up his description by actual sieht of things produced here. In Illi nois he found accommodations easier than in England, where ho sometimes went miles out of his way to get a meal because no one would give or sell one to him. Like all the other "pioneers" who have returned, he enjoyed his trip very much and comes back fully convinced there is no country that excels ours.

We talked over the barbed wire ques tion lately with Mr. C. H. Dodd,who deals largely in it, and is disinterested we suppose in what he says. He claims that bottom prices are reached and there is no monopoly. The makers pay the patentee a royalty of a dollar a ton, which is one-twenteth of a cent a pound, and there is considerable com- s petition in the manufacture. The !... . .. . . freight here is quite an item in the cost. Mr. Dodd asserts that dealers are satis fied if they make a very small profit, as small as 2 per cent, on heavy sales, as it is a staple article. We see a great deal said about the monopoly and were surprised to learn that the manufactur ers' royalty was but a dollar on 2000 pounds. If a man wishes to make a mile of fence and uses three strands of wire he will require about 200 pounds of wire which will cost him in Portland for the best galvanized wire, about $150. On that the manufacturer pays a royalty of one dollar to the inventor, and the merchant claims to be satisfied with a profit of less than if.'i. The fence builder accoiding to these figures doesn't suffer much imposition but gets bih fence cheap enough. As wiie is coming down to about the cost of iron he ought to bo satisfied after awhile. We don't swear to these figures and may be mistaken a little, but they are not far from those given by Mr. Dodd, Wo inquired because we were expecting an older from a friend. Last spring we bought a roll of wire at ten cents a pound, and already prices are greatly reduced. Good wire can bo purchased for six and one-hnlf cent', wholesale, ana tlie best, we think, was seven and one-half cents. When we nf,kp.l "UV Dodd what was the prcspect for a fur ther reduction he said prices were about as low as they could be furnished, for the ieaon above stated. At the best only a small reduction could be made below present rates. Somebody will probably accuse us of a con-piracy with the "barbed wire mon opoly," but we have got used to that. If any of our subscribers East of the Cascades wishes to get barbed wiie we win no anything in our power to heln them. No doubt dealers in the interior put on a good profit. There is heavy crmpetition heie just now and money in hand will bring barbed wire or any thing else down to bed-rock prices. , ne Modoc. The last of the terrible Mmlrv. nf Lava Bed fame, a writer in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat says, dwell on a tract of 1,000 acres near the village of Sene ca, on the dividing line between the In dian Territory and Missouri.
