Tho most careful boiu-unife cannot, willi nil the caioMio is capable of, do perfect work. It is (Imply inipoHsihle for her to cpial to work of n creamer that take the milk, fresh from the cow, and while yet warm separates the cream, ready for churning. It is done by giving a bwift, rotary motion (o a large can, that contains tho fresh milking.

By ibis simple process which is perfectly olTeotivo- the mum is separated while (ho milk is yet fresh and ontirely sweet and pure. All tho nit a perfect house wife is capable of cannot cipinl this mechanical etl'oct. Her butter cannot compote in the market with this, from a great creamery that piovides every possible appliance to insure cleanliness and perfection ; that converts the new milk into butter and makes it so scien tifically pure that ii will keep sweet to tho taste uheio the host butter (he old process can turn olT will spoil. Mr. d. B. k'unpp, of roitland. who has a dairy farm on the Columbia, mentioned the cioamery wo hnvo in mind, lately, in bis article on butter making. 11 ecoms ho is agent for its sale and having used it himself can speak positively of its ellloionoy. The management of such eie.mer roiiuiroa a large supply of milk and can be best carried oa whore u noigburliuod com bines to create a milk supply. We must como to eo-opemtton m order to m-hteo tho bot results. To insure perfect dairy work it is necessary to oarry it on e.ton- xivcly mid under n aystoin that is in nrinble.

This U done overywheio and it is not necessary that the partiiM shall live close to towns to hnvo regular customers. Sometimes parties in Tillamook ship to Portland by bteam sloops 5 or from dairy farms on tho Columbia, or from stations a hundred miles away, along Ihe railroad, they ship It would hardly bo possible to suggest n moio favornblo season than wo have had for farming operations during the present spring. Tho wonthcr hns been varied enough to furnish sunihino and showers, and not too much of cither, for tho good of nil growing crops. Tho season is moro than usunlly backward and lato'in como respects, but wo hnvo passed into n timo of cool north winds and sunshine without any frost to threat en garden or orchard. Tho fruit trees arc passing out of bloom into fruitage, and tlicro is roasou to anticipate the largost and finest yield of fruit possible at n timo when our market is increasing along tho mining districts ou tho rail ways Hint connect us with tho East, bast spring was unfavorable to "Willam- otto wheat fiolds and tho uvorago yiold was only about ono-liait ol wlint wo tiEiinlly harvest. This shortage, coin ing when prices were so low, left us minus about two millions of dollars from what wo had reason to expect and mado harder times than Western Oregon has over known. So far ns appearances now go, wo may expect a good hnrvost of small grains nnd n good season for all crops. Times nro brightening from anticipa tion, if not from actual realization. The wool clip is certnin to bo lnrgo nnd the staple good, ns tho lleeco hns had no severe weather to wcakon tho evenness of tho fibor. ICast of the Cascades there has been siWIicicut rainfall to bring for ward all crops nnd thepiopcct is thnt the harvest will bo as good, if not even greater than in IhS-'i, when they had immuiiHo yields the country over.

Immigrants who cnino to our country, see thnt wo possess in oliinnte and M)il all that has been claimed and send luck word that is encouraging to others who are looking towards tho Pa cific. The only reason why wo am not prosperous is bomuso nil tho world is suffering depression of trado and reduction of value". ' Immigration is very light from tho fact that even at recent low cost of transportation, the formers in Xebrnsk.i, Kansas or Minnesota cannot sell out thcro to movo here. Some who have done so, tiro satisfied with Oregon mid prefer it to California. DEE NOTES FOR APRIL. 11V K. V. C'HAHK. Crop Review. Ciiioaoo, April 2fi. -The Farmers' Review will print the following crop re view, onsen on us lcturus iroiu us cor respondents, up to Inst night : Tho weather has been exceptionally favorablo during tho past ten days for spring wheat heeding, and has been im proved to tho utmost in Wit-cousin, Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota and Dakota. Fully one-half to two-thirds of tho entire acreage in Dakota mid Minnesota lias already been seeded, mid under con ditions which could hardly hao been excelled. Seeding is progressing favor ably in Wisconsin and Iown, but in Nebraska complaints of wet weather still continue, nnd considerable land which would otherwise have been do voted to wheat, has gone (o lias and oath. While these toports nro not yet complete, tho indications nro for a slightly decreased acreage in Wbeonin and Minnesota, nnd a considerable in crease in Dakota. The reports from (ho wintei wheat States show little vniiatiou from those of tho previous two weeks. The Kansas bulletins do not indicate any improve ment. The outlook at the beat is (hat the yield will not exceed one-third (o one-half of an nverageciop. In Dickin son and other counties the failure is almost total, and the fields have been plowed under nnd dovotcd (o ont and other grntus. Tho renoits from Michi gan nUuMiow very little or any improve ment. The prospects mo for from liflo Purchasing Bees. When ono contemplates engaging in n business cntorpriso of any kind ono of tho first things to do to insuro success is to know how, when nnd whoro to purchnso tho stock neccssnry for a be ginning. As n mistnko in this matter may causo vexntious loss nnd much dis appointment it is well lo givo to be ginners in bco culture n few suggestions. It may bo laid down ns n rule that to insuro tho best results a judicious ox pendituro of money is indisponsablo in tho beginning. Pains hns been taken in theso essays to point out tho peculiarities of tho diireront rncos of boos, nnd indlcnto tho best npplinnccs nnd I hero ropeat that poor or indilfcr- ont stock is not chonp nt any price and requires just ns cxponsivo nn outfit ns a colony woi lb ten times ns much. Ono colony of Itnlinns, well fixed, will pro duce four fold moro tluiti the best colony of blacks, nnd tho latter will bo infinilo ly bettor than a colony of blncks with a poor queon, i.e., either an old queen or ono thnt is not prolific. Theroforo. tho bec-mnn who points with piido to his numerous stocks, is not to well oil' ns his neighbor who owns one-fourth ns runny, unloss in his stocks quality ns iveil ns quantity is considered ; in other words ono first-class colony in a first class hivo is far hotter proporty to own nnd will yiold moro profit than four poor or indifferent ones, and will not cost so much- Persons aro often dctor- aedf'Oiu purchasing nico hives on ac count of the oxpenso, thinking thnt ns they own ten, fifteen, or moro stocks they cannot afford to buy for nil. Such persons would much better expand the money they enn spare nnd perfectly lit up n portion of them nnd let tho lost no, than to helf-way furnish (ho whole lot. A good colony of Itnlinus put up on full frames of wired foundation sixty pound boxes with inch stnrtcrs and tin or wooden roporators complete, is cheap nt fifteen dollars. Thoy will moro (linn pay for (hoinsolvcs in ono season. A colony of blacks, with a queen not over a year old, and tho snmo fixtures is cheaper at ten dollars than tho snmo in a box hivo nt fhreo dollars, for if tho bees can bo bought nt the latter llguro, lo put thorn in a good hive would cost another dollar, hivo iivo dollars; total, nlno dollars. You have in this case bees on old crooked comln without wires, probably containing foul brood or moth eggs, mnybo both; pcrhnpj tho queon i' old. Tho man is lucky who can gel u half crop of honey from them tho first season. An npiarist who makes a business of raising bees is not likely to propagato poor stock, ovon if ho raises only blacks his self interest will inducohim to breed only from his best queons. A hive pur chased from him is worth far moic than a dollar, moro than ono picked up Imp hnznrd, and transferred into tho now hive. It docs not holp tho mnttor to purehnso a new swarm for with this, ho always gots nu old queen; hotter buy tho hive from which tho swarm hns just issued and get a young queen. Of course tlieso remarks will havo no (.fleet on thoso who persist in thinking cunt nny Kimi oi n box is gooti enough for bees; turn loiuulnlion, surplus Iwxosnnd separators are all humbugs, and only de vices to pull money out of tho pockets of tho gullible. is with duo deference to his opinions thnt I spenk them out. Speaking of the dillcrcnt races of boes ho says "tho Kal ians nrc it very pretty beo nnd gcnornlly moro quiot than tho Blncks, although when they do point thoir weapons toward nn enemy they menu business, I tell you. On tho whole, though, they though, they nro more pleasant to hnndlo than tho black boes. But rqnlly whnt wo want of tho bco is honey, is it not? nnd if they gathered no honoy, they would bo of no moro value than tho common houso fly. So tho bees thnt givo us the most honey aro tho bees wo wnnt. I hnvo had somo very nice Itnlinns, but never saw ono of thorn get honey out of tho common red clover, but the nlsilco which is of n light rod tint, is frequented by both tho Itnlinns nnd Blncks, nnd with us tho yield of honoy ss nearly or auitc two to ono in favor of tho black beo. Mv host Blacks mndo 1C0 pounds of comb honoy which I took nwny (surplus) and tho Italians eighty poiim', nnd this nilo held good through tho i.,iary. Bo '-who shall do cido when doctoi-disagree." I did onco think tho Italians superior but that was when I contemplated rear ing queens for sale. Sinco I did not do so tho difibrenco if nny is on tho other side. Excuse, mo friend Chase, but it is a fnct, nnd I wero to renr queens, I would breed from tho best hcos regard loss of color or name. Ilomcmbor that tho Italians hnvo been bred up nnd tho Blncks let to run down. Who clso has tried tho difl'ercnt races of bees nlono for honey, sido by side. I would liko to hear from you. I'orhnps in my case the locality nmkes this wido difibrenco of opinion, or experience. Let us henr from other localities, where bees nro rniseil for honey alone. Tho ndvlco in rognnl to hives is good, but no ono must oxpect tho hivo to mnko tho honey, it is getting tho boes whero thoy can bo liamllod to the best advantage that brings success to beekeepers. I think I can get a littlo nhead of the quotation from Olcinings. From sixty-thrco colonics in tliu spring, I look 7,200 pounds of honoy nearly all comb nn nvcrngo of 112 pounds por colony (hero wero a fow swarms (hat made but littlo which luought the nvcrogo down below whero it would othenvijo have been, and had 1 run for extracted honey the average would hnvo been much greater. I uso the simplicity hive. Most certainly our maiketa will bo supplied with Oregon honey and nut only thnt but every far mer can supply tho household with (ho purest sweet, without buying sugar. All kind of fruit may bo put up in honey owed, prcficrved'and jellied, if tho honey is nice, nnd tho llavor will bo fine. Honey can bo used in pie, and cake mitkeitig nlso, try it. Ments cured whero sugar is used is bettered by uteing good honoy, try it. E. S. Biiooks. W. J. HERRE5M, Wool and Grain Broker I SALEM, OREGON. lilt. 1IEURKN announce!
