Onoromarkof tho Ashland Tidings, wo object to, when it eaya theso gcntlomon expect to Buccood without tbeir "taking personal chaigo of tho managomont or work of tbeir or chards." It is not ofton that such work can bo successfully dono without very closo porHonal mi'Hirvlslon, as wo found out to our own dear cost. Cure less work with n team in a young or chard will ruin it very shortly. "In imotlicr column in this issuo will bo found n short editorial from tho Willamette Farmer upon what practi cal business man In tho Willamette think of tho outlook for tho fruit husi iicbh in Oregon. Tho writer cllcs tho fact that prominent business mon in Portland, Salem, and Eugene men who aro connpicuouH for caroful judgement and successful business oxporionco havo invested in young orchaida with confidonco in tho future of fruit grow ing as ono of tho most profitnblo indus tries of tho Stato. Wo can supplement tho list with tho names of prominent business mon in Ashland who hnvo young orchards growing i "1 near tho town. Among thorn aro S. U. Gulcy, altomoy, tho Messrs. Carter, father and son, of tho Hank of Ashlnnd, W. 17. At kinson, of tho Ashlan! Woolon Mills, A. 1. Hammond, pi'.:. mistc of AhIiIihmI and his hou, city surveyor, 0.

Tliuio is a large number of cillcoiiH in tho neighborhood who aro making tho planting of now orchards thoir chief occupation. The mon who have invented in this direc tion aro those who havo a knowledge of what has lieeu dono in tho fruit husiuesH ulsovhoio, and their lead will soon bo followed by many farmers and others who havo hitherto held back fiom tho enterprise simply because it was some thing new for thorn and they wanted soineoiio else to broaUUioico. AhIiIiuuI TidiugH. ospccially good sinco tho ravages of tho phylloxera havo caused a material ad vunco in tho prico of wines, and encour aged tho palming ofTof n poor articlo on tho wine-drinkers of that country as well as on tho foreigner. As a conso quenco of that, tho consumption of cidor Iuih much increased in Frnnco, cvn in tho vino-g'owing dopartrnimt whero formerly no cider was usod ; and in Paris tho inrroaso in tho consumption of Isto years is stated to havo been as much as 15 or 20 per cent. This year tho homo crop apples is a very short ono and tho American applo is preferred to tho native, which is soiling at nearly thrco timos tho prices of a year ago. It is worthy of notico that tho parrod ap plo is subjee', to a duty which doos not attach to tho unparcd fruit. This fortnB a powerful inducement to simply elico and disiccato it hero, without takintr away olthor tho rind or core. Tho pros onco of tho latter is no objoction to uso in tho cider-mill, whilo it makos a duty diflbronco of not less thanBix francs per 100 kilograms. Thoy aro now worth about $7 por 220 pounds on tho market, tho duty being paid by tho purchasor. l Hero Mould boa rcry good pnwpcct for n largo markot for tho American product this year, as only n few hundred barrels of Ilia old crop remain on hand. j.ftlt. The Horse's Foot. Tlmo to Cut Wood. Farmers iw n rulo, says ono expert in forestry, do not find timo to cut their wood until aftor tho 1st of January this is uufortunato hecauso from tho 1st of January Li tho 1st of May is tho most unfavorable portion of tho your to cut treos for either flro-wooil or timber. Slimy farmers could, if thoy realised tho importanco of it, cut their wood In November and Dcccmbor, which is n vory good Boasou to cut wood because tho sap, ns a rulo, doos not begin to as cend until January. Tho autumn for many reasons is n good timo to cut wood j tho ground is clear of snow and tho weather is usually about cold enough to work comfortably; thou if tho wood bo cut in tho autumn tho farmor will havo tho bcnollt of tho first snow to get it homo, nnd when at homo early in tho season it Umvch plonly of time to saw and split it before tho dry ing winds of March come. atapos and FUs. The llgunu given by tho Evening Dulletin, of Han Frauoisco, representing the crop of California during the past year, aro simply astounding. Itc&timatcH that about 175,000 tons of grapes havo been produced, of which Hourly lfi.OOO toiw havo found their way to tho East to furnish forth tho festive hoaui. Most of the large remainder has Ihjou converted into 15,000,000 gal of wiuo, the ordinary being a drug on the market and (he good finding a ready tale. Of dried fruits the product is set down at 2,000,000 ikhiihIb of prunes, 750,000 pound of peaches, 600,000 jxmuds of pitted plums, (100,000 pounds of apricots, 150,000 pounds of ovajiorat iul apples and 160,000 poumln of ilgs. l.argo as this crop may appear to the uninitiated, tho belief is expressed that Hie foil of California has only half tried .i show what it ran do, and that during the coming season these amounts may be easily doubled and possibly trebled. Well, tho Herald oilers itH congratu lations to tho Golden State, tho picket guard of tho Hepuclic on the ivest.

Onions do not impait an ngroeablo odor to Clio broalh of thoso who con sumo them, but thoy aro a vory wholo- some vegciaoio aim n great ninny tiro used. Just now largo quantities are ho- ing rocoivcd hero from tho boaver-dimi lands of Washington county. Thoy are Dotting to tho producer a triflo over a cent per pound. A farmer, who is on gngod in the business, Htatcs that about twcnty-flvo acres are devoted to onion cultivation in his vicinity, and that tho averago crop this year has boon about 500 bnsholH to tho acre. Notwithstand ing the extra labor involved in their cultivation, onions provo a much moro profitable crep than wheat or potatoes. In very favorablo roars 1000 l.nal.nU aroHOinetinioa raisod on an acre. From tho twenty-five acres nbovo montioned will bo sent hero this season 12,000 bushols of onions, but it must not bo supposod that thoy are all consiimod hero. A gre.it many are sent to San Francisco, GOO Hacks going down on the last steamer. Oregonian. It doos not requiro much reflection to perceive that a sound foot is necessary to tho best performance of tbo horse, or, indeed, of any other animal that travels on foot, man included. Tho least troublo with tho feet is very irritating and wearying. It is impossible to keep tho perception of tho fact out of tho brain, for it affects tho wholo nervous system, nnd nothing eo rapidly exhausts tho strength ns nervous irritation. Any ono who has had troublo with tho chafing of tho shoe, or from ill-fitting shoes, can npprcciato tho truthfulness of what wo are saying. Any difficulty with a horso's foot shows itsolf at once, nnd horsosaro often com pelled to work in groat r.In becauso of neglect of their feet by tho owner or driver. It is not necessary that wo should go into a description of tho anatomy of tho horse's foot to sccuro an nccoptanco of tho fact of tho frequency of groat suf fering from soreness of ono kind and another, of this important mombcr. Tho fact is quite patent to any ono who makes tho least observation of what is going on boforo him. But llicro is too often great lack of sympathy for tho afllictcd animal. What wo wish to call attention to is tho importanco of paying proper atten tion to tho horso's foot, in order to keep it sound and frcofrom tho least soreness. With ono foot afllictcd there is sure to bo n limp, but lot both feel bo afllictcd alike, and in plnco of a limp (hero will bo a painful hesitancy nnd cringing, which might bo ovorlooked by tho in oxneriencod, but which causes much mote suffering than is many limes man ifes'd by a limp. Wboio ono foot is soro tho otbor is somolimcs inhumanly made m by tho houo jockey, In oidor to prevent limping. It would seem, how- ovor, that almost any ono ought to bo tiblo to delect this trick. It should bo boruo in mind that nsido from stinins and bruises, there are many causos of lameness. Shoos worn too long, keooiug tho hoof drawn togothcr in a fixed position, whou nature intend ed it to spread or wear oil' as giowth suspicion in either beast or man. Pun ish a horso only when ho descrvo it, and in a way that ho will understand what it is for. Do not apply tho whip on overy littlo occasion. If you do, tho horso will not always undorstand what it is for, and will soon loam to oxpect tho lash on nil occasions, doscrving or not. Blinders may bo ornnmental, but to my notion tho oyo of tho horso is n moro beautifying thing to look at than a blinder. Equine, in Llvo Stock Journal. AGUE u, S "J TUBE. HoWicid Cattlo (or Eeof. J.

Tho letter contains some information which may bo of interest to many parties in this State. Owing to a short crop of ap ples, as much cider was nuido iu Franco in 18S5 from dried tipples as from tmsh oiiea (tho dried being to a largo extent foreign product), and tho people aro so well tiatisflcd with tho result that thero is promiso of n largo market for tho dried article, which may bo takon ad vantage of by tho fruit-ruisora of this part of tho world. Tho opportunity is Tho Olive. Tho olivo which ia used on tho tablos of tho rich only as a hors d'ocuvro that i., an appetizer, or as an Ingredient in saueeH aud mmle dishes, is an important article of diet with tho poor in tho south of Kuropc. A peasant will nuiko an en tire meal of bread and oIIvch and con-Kidi-r ih.it ho has dined suniptoiiHiy. Iu southern Italy no meal is mndo without olives while in Spain it is customnry to eat them in small quantities at tho end of the meal only. In tho eastern coun tries, whence tho olive camo, tho fruit forma Htill an important artiolo of diet. A traveler relates that ho found dolie ions a meal of eggs, olives anil crapes. odcred him by tho monks of tho monas tery of Mount I.ihanus.

I do not tiKreo with you, unless it ho for exceptional or special nurpoica. Tlio houcHt, properly-trained horse, with lifo enough in him to mako him worth own ing, no moro needs blindora than tho faitfnl dog does. No horso, I beliove, was over born with bliudor on. Theso are imposed upon him with tho rost of tho harnoss. They am intended to provont slue ami rear viow, hut thoy do not always do it. Often thoy obscuro vision just onough to mako ovory tiling appear uueortain, and All the horso's mind with apprehension. If the horso is nervous and sensitive, ho noedH to seo everything clearly and dis tinctly, and to bo made to understand at least that it bodes no harm to him. Hut, give him a crack with tho whip, and how long will it tako to mako him feel that another crack is not coming! Kvery noiso in tho rear, ovory glimpso jof motion behind him, makes him think tho whip is to bo applied. Of courso ho is uneasy and constantly starting up. Hut let him see all that is going on be hind him, and ho will at onco distinguish between tho sounds and movements that bodo hurt to him and thoso which aro harmless. I thiuk, with tho partial view afforded by blindors, ho is much moro likely to shy than whon ovorything stands out in full viow. Why will ho shy? Hecauso ho is afraid of boinghurt, just as a man dodges whon something is sprung suddenly upon htm. Then do not add to his torror by giving him u cut with tho whip. On tho contrary, speak calmly to him in a tono of confi dence, which ho has learned to under stand. Thero ia nothing liko having' tho conQdenco ot your horse, and of giving him a clear viow of things. Thoso aro bettor than anything else to alUy PURE BERKSHLREB, K.
