On tlio 1st dny of March wo wore greeted with about, two iuohu of hiiow, which "chi nooked" oirdurinK tho midillo of tlio dny. Since then tho wouthor has been elenr with frosty uighta and Biiiuhiuo during tho dny. Farmers gonornlly nro plow ing ami xowiiig their spring grain. Tho winter was u bovoro uno for this country hut nt no time wits tho theriuoiuotor bo low lf degieea above zoro. Now that npriiig lius fairly oponitl wo may look for a busy need limo.

Much loss of stock has been re ported in tho foot hills of tlio Cascade and Coast mountains throughout tho Willamette Valley, but now that tho ground in olenr wo may hope for bettor icports. Tho looal wheat market is quiet ami quotable at not more than 70o although Via oliould bo a fair quotation. Tho Kuropean market continued weaker, but priced nro maintained, Portland prices aro inactive and $1 It1l II7J pur cental id a fair basis.

Corn was chcAnor. llarloy and oats wcro dull and declined 3d. Linseed wns Is cheaper. Boston Wool Market. A Iloatou dinpatch of Feb. 28 says : The tone of tho whole market is about ai unsatisfactory as reported Inst week. Manufacturers still continue to hold off, in oxpectntiou of lower prices, and nro confining their purchased to small lots for immediate ueo. Sales for the week hnvo been 1,571,100 pounds, including all kinds. Oregon wool is rathor quiet; sales 50,000 pounds. Eastern has boon reported nt 17 to 22 cents, and 25,000 kmuu1h wore sold on pnvnto terms. Advices from Oregon report no considerable loss of shcop, but in Montana great loss has been sus tained, it is reported. California wool continues dull. Fall wool is not wanted nnd sales of only 30,000 pounds at 10 to 20 cents, and 50,000 pounds on privato terms, nro rcnortod. Spring wool is scarce, with sales of 1000 pounds choice at 2(1 cents, nnd 10,000 pounds on pri vato terms. In Western unwashed, un merchantable fiooeos thero hnvo been sales of 12,000 pounds No. 1 nt 30 conts, 50,000 pounds Ohio at 251 cents, and 1 1,500 pounds black on privato terms. CARE OP STOCK. If it would not "infringo" too much on tho "rights of American citizens," thcro should be a legal prohibition against any man owning more stock than he can winter in good order, l'co plo gamble on the chances whon thoy over-stock ranges and tako no caro of tho animals thoy own but do not "keep.' It is cruolty and hcartlossncs? above all reason if wo aro actually what wo pretend a human people. Thoro are scarco ovor a winter whero animals run ning out do not Buffer and some usually dio of exposure, but time and oxpor- ienco show that taking nil these chances and discounting all losses, cattle and stock pay a big intcrost oji tho invest ment. So tho business of owning great herds, nnd straw! ng thorn through our wintors, continues. If stock wcro prop erly cared for it would still prove profit able t? own it. Tho trouble is that in humanity prevails nnd men aro heart- loss nnd cruel. They gnmblo on their chances and nro worso thnu tho ordi nary sharper because their businoss in volves much bruto suffering. Mon who senrco own an aero will have thousands of cattlo and horses or sbeop and use a range that should belong to actual Bot tlers. Stock owned in small bnnds or flocks and cared for properly is worth moro than poor aud starved animals over can be. Tho man who manages well saves theso torriblo losses and tho extra incomo ho collocts pays all his out lay for shelter and fcod, but he is too inert and indiflldont to provido as ho should and his Hocks and herds aro Biif- fcrers. Somo action is necossary to pro toot the rango from those who do not take care of their stock. Hrmp or riat.

In sects, too, aud tkeir eggs, which have lo cated thomselvea for tho winter in the ground aro turned up and exposed to tho cold or eaten by hungry bird. Thus a double purposo is served. Just before the ground freezes deep, cover strawberries with rotted straw, old salt hay, loaves, pine-nocdlea, or oven saw-dust, when they need no further attentiou until tho spring when the ground may bo loosened between the rows. The mulch just about tho plants may be left or else renewed, so that the berries may rest upon it and not get andy and dirty, thus reducing their value.

S. uaha Hates, State Assaycr, Mass." The Royal Baking Powder recclred the highest award oyer all competitors at tbe Vienna World's Exposition, 1U73 ; nt the Centennial, Philadelphia, 18.0 ; at the American Institute, and at State Fairs throughout tho country. No other article ot human food has erer recclred such high, emphatic, and unl renal endorsement from eminent chemists, physicians, scientists, and Boards ot Health all orer the world. . Norn. Tho abore Diagram Illustrates the comparative worth of various Baking Powders, as shown by Chemical Analysis and experiments made by Prof. Bchedler. A one pound can of each powder was taken, tho total learcnlng power or volume In each can calculated, the result bolug as indicated. This practical test for worth by Prof. Bchedler only proves what overy observant consumer of tho Royal Baking Powder knows bypractlcal cxpcrlcnco, that, while it costs a few cents per pound moro than ordinary kinds, it is far more economical, and, besides, affords tho advan ago of better work. A single trial of tbe Royal Baking Powder will convince any fair minded person ot theso facta. While the diagram shows some ot the alum powders to be of a higher degro of strength than other powder ranked below them, it is not to be taken as Indica ting that they have any value. All alum powders, 110 matter how high their strength, aro to bo avoided as dangerous. f Tho Be3t is Tin: Cheapest i TTAKE X-3EJ IE ' S svsinflEjSHfc'!rSSs?Hs .v n. r. ufAircicc ixrnt nniikbi.k taam-K, KLtffiii SQUIRREL AND GOPHER EXTERMINATOR IN J -LB ANI) n-LB CiNSf Don't Buy AN Inferior Arllrle llcouie It l More rrtlllabls to lump one- !
