February is yet snowing nnd wintry, far moro than usual for Oregon, but mo far tho winter has dono no hnnn. For n fow days wo hnd molting days nnd frosty nightB after tho ground was Imro nnd wheat was thrown out to somo ox tout and roots exposed on somo laud Hnd this continued a fow days longer tho result would have boon disastrous to tho wheat crop but with warm ruins to let the plant will root well again. I no prospoct for tno wheat crop m good throughout tho Columbia valley. KiiKt of tho mountains tboro hit boon snow and rain fall, and tho snow madon good blanket for tho growing wheat. Tho moisture is sufliotent to insure good orops, with tho usual spring showers. Tho foreign wheat market is weak nnd prices are not firm. Tho season for shipping to Kuropo is past for 1837, And it remains to bo seen what tho homo demand will be. Salem mills drop ono cent n bushel on their price. They have given 72 couts for a month and now give 71 cents. Kvery ono looktj to spring for a solution of tko F.uroponn war question and if there is continued peace wo shall e low prices continue. Stock i tlying by thousands in Mon tana nnd Wyoming and soma parts of Idaho, but is doing fairly on Eastern Oregon ranges. Somo lossea art occur iug in this valley and there must bo considerable suffering, ns tho supply of food is not nbundant. Those who keep stock must put up food nnd keep enough on hand to too their animals well through March, Tho rntigo of motitions for wheat is r'1.30$UGJ por cental. Oats, 18)60 cent is tho range, with no ehinuionts. Ctioiuo vill bring more. It is thought tho valley holds enough to fully supply local dotiiands. Provisions chow nil advance at tho cunt.

Sinco tho first of this month (hero has boon times when miow nnd ico covered tho ground ; nnd whero no running water or springs nro found stock must often suffer aud die. Wo hear of sheep, cattlo and horses, dying ovory winter, supposed to bo owing to dry feed and blind stnggora. Any band of sheep will dio on timothy hay alono in tho best of wintors. That is well established. Wo nil of us know, or should know, that dry feed is un wholesome to stock without 8omothing green. Plenty of water nnd salt will frequently carry stock through, hut it is safest to Imvo some vegetables to givo them when wintors aro sovoro, Thoro is nothing hotter than potatoes nnd all animals will eat them and thoy will help dissolve dry food and koop stock from binding up with insolublo dry stuff" that cannot digest and pass away without somo aid for tho digestion. It is common for sheep woll fed to die, when a handful of oats every day will save thorns but turnips, cabbage, pota toes and apples will answer tho purposo and overy farmer should grow somo such stud' to havo on hand for winter focd, aud should save nil tho small nnd impcrfoct Yegotables to uso in caso of need. There is novor u winter when it will not bo profitable to feed such arti cles, for stock will rolJHh green and suc culent food as a change aud thrivo on it. For fifteen ycara wo can go back to our illos and show that wo have given this same admonition' to farmers. If they had heeded or remoinbcrod and practiced it there would in that time havo been hundreds of thousands savod to thorn and to tho wealth of Oregon In growing crops an aero or so planted to some succulent vcgotnblo to feed to stock will yield moro profit, it well used afterwards, than any part of tho farm crop. Tho Century has n long comprehen sive nrtioio on Lincoln uis tiro from boyhood till death, with engravings of nil tho houses that ho occupied nt various times. It is a story ono never tires of hearing. "Tho Relative Strength nnd Weakness of Nations" comes pat just now when Europe ncoms on tho ove of war. "Tho Hundredth Man" is an odd sort, which loses nothing from its originality. Tho Century should be found on every table. Tho February number is especially iutcrcdting. Tho Hrooklyn Mngiuine is n late pub lication issued in that city. It is a fam ily magazine. Tho matter included within iU pagos is of n character of which ono might do for ''Sunday lead ing" for it is pure and elovating. Mrs. Doochcr has contributed to it in pre vious numbers. II. W. lleechcr, with other noted divines, contribute sermons and religious discourses from texts found in the lliblo.
