Tal low UPitlJ for common. Mark Lano Roviow. London', Jan. 21. The Mark Lano Express, in Its weekly roviow of tho British grain trade says : Tlio damp weather has reduced tho condition of English grain ofToringfl, causing a general decline. Sound p.ir- cols, however, maintain values. In London buyers bid prices 2s bolow local and conntry values. Sales of English wheat during tho week wcro 10,7.TJ qrs at :iOs Id, against 0:1,101 qrs at 20s Od during tho corresponding poriod last year. Trado in foreign wheat is irregu lar, values against sellers. Flour de clined to Gd to Is. Corn is rather weak er. Hovonteen cargoes nrrived, olght ordered away, nine remaining, including soven Californian, 0110 Oregon, 0110 Amoricnn red winter. To day there was a butter inquiry for wheat with vnltics firmer. Flour is steady. Oats, dull, 5Jd cheaper. ORCHARD WORK FOR FEBRUARY. Wo aro now making rapid progress towards spring and tho man or woman who hns trees to plant should improvo tho first opportunity when tho ground is dry enough to work, to do so. friend, who grows poaches very sue ccssfully, express as his opinion that thoro is nothing gained by setting out peaches in tho fall, though it may bo bettor for othor trees. Now is tho time if not already dono to trim tho or chard. It is not advisable to cut lnrgo limbs off aftor tho first of April ; that is, to cut off wood that is sovoral years old, but wood of tho past'yoiirs growth can bo cut without injury during tho tho spring. It will bo better to do all tho trimming previous to April, and before tho sap commonccs to How freely. It is better to trim in the fall than to defer until February, for as soon as tho sap has gone down and tho wood of last year's growth has matured it will do to trim trees. The science of trimming is to cut back young limbs about two thirds their growth the past year nnd to cut offcloso all unnecessary growth. Keep tho top of tho tree open enough to lot in sun and air to a healthy extent, and balanco tho troo with tho shears. If you see a treo growing more on ouo sldo tlinn another, trim tho most on tho overgrown side and in a few yoars you will lmvo a well bal anced tree. Peaches should bo trimed about the middlo of August at which timo tho wood hns tmulo its proper growth, mat leaves any lorco leit in tho sap to thoroughly and strongly ma ture tho fruit buds that are horning. To Experiment With. Fertlltxers A firm at Astoria has a largo quantity of fish guano which is a superior fertilizer and is extensively used in old settled countries. Hero fanners lmvo so fur de pended on the natural fertility of the soil. Mr. W. S. Lathi, who has two large farms back of Kast Portland, has concluded to experiment with fertilizers, ami will this season use a lot of lime, plaster and fish guano on tlltlerent patches of land to Ascertain which gives tho best results. His oxporleuco in the matter will bo beneficial to tho farmers of tho Stato when it becomes nocessary for them to enrich their farms. Ho has already experimented to souio extent with plaster, ami found it very bciiefi ciul to grass lawns. Ho has tho timo and tho money and tho land necessary for muking costly experiments, anil if ho don't make anything by them he will accumulate a largo stock of experience, and that experience will bo worth all it costs him to tho rest of us. Ho has nothing olso to do with his timo ami money and is solving problems that are worth much to farmors, who must soon resort to fertilizers. Syrup of 'U.

Llva Jtock In Marlon Countr, From tho Silverton Appeal wo glean the following intereting itoins regard ing llvo stock in Marion county : It is the common tomnrk nniung our farmers that good grans abounds everywhere, and stork grazing wan never bettor at this season of tho year than now. Stock aro doing well every whore. Henry Allen, of tho Waldo Hills, has over 500 head of sheep and goats on his place, besides several head of horses and cattle. Ho has not fed them a giain or straw this winter and they are in excel lent condition. In Coolidgo & McClnino's pasture on Drift Creek, may be seen fifty or sixty fine four year old steers. They have thrived excellent all wintor without nny attention other than an nccasionul salt ing. L. F. Musclier and L. Shindler arc each stock raisers. Their sheep, horses and cattle, have, so far, also made their own living on the natural rango offered thorn, without a bite of dry food. (It is now near the middlo of January.) What State in our broad Union can furnish a more favorable report? STOCK FARM FOR BALE. A dood Opportunity to Bur a Stoo'c Farm with Large Out-Rango. A party has placed in our hands for salo one of the best stock farms in tho valloy. This laud is situated in tho foot hill region of the Cascades, and is conccedcd to be tho best adapted to stock growing of any portions of our State..
