Thumb is noino complaint matlo by inillcrs that farmcro aro culling their grain too early, and that there is danger of itH HouiitiK if not left for a longer limn in tho Held. Tho hoii-ou is fully two weeks later than Inst year, nnd that too with wcatbor that is not what can bo culled rapidly ripening weather. Lot tho wheat fully mature, and keep up tho quality of our wheat at all event.

Walla Walla wheat is quoted very ioor this kcahoii, and iiiotatious are on n basis of .fl.lti per cental, while valley wheat i'h quoted at fl.lOf l.lo per cental. Wo under stand that Portland cannot got tho bulk of tho wheat from tho valley thm year, as deep ecu venels make too great n dif ference in favor of Han Francisco, and tho YiKiuina route ban captured tho valley. Tiik edition of tho Orogoniuu issued on Monday last, August 1st, was one of the largest, both in size and numbors ever issued by that justly enterprising and popular publication. In addition to twelve pages of rending uiattor, do hcriplivo of Spokane Falls and Warduer and Conir d'lene luiues, it had two upleudld colored lithographs, ouo of tho Warduer, Idaho, mines, and tho other illustration of .Spokane Falls. Tho Ore goniau is lli-t in all things ami tho best pupor in this Suite by long odds. diaii of its development, yet by reason of its priority in the course of the west ward uinroh of empiro it is far aheitd of Dakota. Advnntago of tho position with respect to tho avenues of immigration has enabled California, with tho aid of her fields of gold and tho renown of her scml-lropio climo to far outstrip Orogon in settlement and progress. California has half a dozon ambitious and growing cities worthy of tho name. She hns n population several times as largo as that of Oregon and a property valuation pro portionally still groator, yet Oregon hns natural resources equally as potential although of a difl'eront character. Ad mitting nil the magnificent advantages of tho Golden State, wo Oregoninns feel that tho attractions for immigration and settlement horo whilo possessing less of tho sheen and glitter which invest tho view of a distant In ml whero orango groves nro sighing in vernal breezes throughout tho winter aro equal if not superior in tho solid qualities which build up a groat state of enduring and unfailing prosperity. Oregon's capacity of production in tho lino of agriculture ami Horticulture will bear comparison with that of any stnto in tho Union. Vast forosts of valtinblo timber, deposits of minerals of almost every kind, nu merous watercourses with their trans portation facilics nnd unlimited power for manufacturing purposes, and com mercial fields ns vnst as the soas that oncirclo the globo combine to form n diversity and complomont of natural resources which will make Orogon ono of tho greatest of tho United States. Her best pioneers who know and lovo tho Stale have realized her possibilities and tho grandeur of hor destiny, but they hao grown tired of waiting for tho hum and rush of development which thoy havo heard and seen down in California for many yonrs. It is coming now. Tho forces of capital and enterpriso which have dovelopod California aro coming this way, led by tho great rail way system which has acquired tho wbolo lino of coast road, from tho Columbia river to Sun Diogo a lino which will reach completion with tho closing of tho gap south of Ashland within three or four months. Oregon will not oxporienco such a feverish ex citement in booming cities and mush room colonics iih havo somo parts of California, but it,is entirely safe to pre dict that tbo next ten years will witness a progress and growth, an industrial development and gonoral increase of property valuation which will seem nl- most a ''lioom" compared with tho tardy growth of the dormant past. Oregon needs more capital to limber tho joints of enterprise and opon now Holds of in dustry. Eastern capital, in looking over tho wbolo country west of tho Hooky mountains -or west of tho Mis sissippi river cannot tlnd a safer field, or ono moro satisfactory to consorvntivo JorrcDmlenct. Poultry Affairs. A short note from one of the staunch friends of tho Farmer, is gi von below. Wo would liko to havo somo ono reply, if any experience can bo told of this dis ease in turkeys. Sometimes chickens that aro affected with mites will droop in that way cxamino bonds and neck ftrlicc. Ti rtoys need green food ; chop string beans and onion tops putting in somo black popper if very young boil an egg and mash fine, with pepper. E.l It must bo said of Oregon, Hint its aro to find disonso in animals and fowls, nor do we havo to fight insect enemies as in nil other parts of tho country. Agricultural journals of tho East nro full of questions and remedios concern ing overy branch of farm life. How long wo can claim immunity is to bo seen. This railroad communi cation will bo so ro to introduce evil things. "My chickens and turkoys nro affect ed with n discaso. I don't know what nils them. They tuck their heads down on thoir shoulders and droop for a fow days, nnd thon dio. They net aomothing liko littlo chickens with droops. I want to know if any of your cornxpondonls know whothcr it is cholera, if so, whnt is tho remedy?" Mrs. N. 1'karce. thon, though tho smallest amount of tho article borrowed tho better for mother and family. If tbo trouble bor rowers were confined to this class of pcoplo wo could find somo excuse for them, but this is not tbo case. Mothers of largo families aro seldom of this kind to any extent; thoygonorally havo bo much to do that thoy scarcoly have any timo for trouble borrowing, which is very fortunato for them. To bo suro they nil havo moro or less anxiety and trouble in their families, and they meet it bravely when it comes, but they will not look for it ns tho trouble borrower docs. Porhnps during boiuo part of their lives, themselves, woro inclined to TUB River Steamers. On account of low water, tho steamer 'Three Sisters" will bo substituted for the steamer "N. S.

Tho Seattle people want business and aro willing to pay for it, so to overcome freight charges tbo citi zens have rained a sum sulllcient to pay the (0o) fifty conts dill'ereneo made by the railroad in favor of Tacoma against Seattle. Our sympathies aro entiiely with Seattle, as wo believe that that point will bo tho emporium of this North west coast, by reason of its natural ad vantages, and our only regret is it that wo, as a county, aro not tributary to hiieh an enterprising and liberal city. Oxktiiimi to Oregon's advantage in being ruled oil' the call boaids at San e'raucUco, in the Mipplying of shorts, is tlint our wheat will iu longer bo ued to bring up tbo nvemge of California wheat in that State, but from this time on it will bo quoted as Oiegon wheat, ami sold as such, and wo havo no fear but that tbo price will bo higher than Hint tpioted for tiaight California. The time has passed when California V4in claim Oregon wheat and bo paid t'lihiuu'cd prices for their wheat, by roa ron of the mixture of Oregon.

Now is the time to prepare specimens of grains ami gras-es in sheaf forexhibi tion at tho Stato Fair. Kvery farmer in this county ought to select good sized bunches of both mid put them up in convenient shape for examination, properly marked and labeled. Then when tho agent of the Hoard of Agri culture comes around ho can make selections from them, and in this way tbo county will bo fairly represented. Wo wish to urge our readers to do this at once, and in this may aid tho Hoard in their oll'urU to make the fair a suc cess. If Marion county is going to com pote for tbo prize ollored for tho best county exhibition there is no time to lose, in beginning to mako selections of produce. All of this will apply to every other county. Then many of the.-o spooimo is if not needed for tho county exhibit will come in play for individual and Stato purposes. How many farm ers and fruit cultuiists have begun to prepare their specimens? If it has leon neglected up to this time it is to bo hopes! that our wbolo agricultural impu tation will set to work earnc-Uy to make our coming fair a success. Thero will Ui many strangers hero at that time, and they will expect to see a fair cample of Oregon's production on exhibition at tho fair. Foi this very reason that emi grants will crowd our Stato this season, the coming fair is tho most important ono held for many years. Lot the ex hibition of farm produce bo tbo promi nent featuro this time. Sentry. HoTTEVii.f.R, Or, July 5, 1887. To tho ofllccrs and members of Ilutto vlllo (Irnngo No. 71 : We, your Committee, nppointed to draft resolutions of condolcnco, on tho death of SistcrlJvlisty Geer, beg leave to report tho following. Wo havo performed tho last snd rite, which as her sisters and brothers wo could do for hor, nnd now it is lilting that this Grango should glvo expression to sontiments in memory of tho deceas ed. To-day, wo aro transcondontly happyto-morrow n crushing sorrow over takes us and wo aro unspeakably wrotchod. To poor humanity this scorns a cruel burden. Mon try to ex plain it, but explanations, assurances and consolations nro empty things offer ed to nn ovorburdono J, sorrowing soul ; no nrgumont however logicnl ; no soph istry howovcr ingenious, can rolievo a breaking heart of its anguish or satisfy the longing of ono bereaved. Wo only know that death bronvomentw, miifort unos and heart breakings nro ; that thoy aro inevitable, startling ronlitics, and that we mortals must end nro them. Whilo wo cannot understand why our bolovcd sister should havo been taken from a'flcld of usefulness, from among tboso who would mourn hor dead, yet wo, in sadness, know it has been done, and muni bopo that in it is n divinity which has shaped it all. Hosolvcd, That wo ns a Grango ox tend our deepest and most hcartfolt spmpathv to tho grief stricken husband and children, knowing that thoy alone can fully rcali.o tho extent of their loss.

Women who havo had n grent deal of troublo in thoir lives can hardly bo blamed for looking forward and expect ing it at any timo or place, yet oven thoy aro not tho chronic troublo borrowers. llioy must look forward to, nnd expect it, but thoy do sosilently nnd rosignodly, and willingly accept whatever may bo in storo for them without n murmur against it or a comment on it. Tho real troublo borrower is n womnu who has had vory littlo troublo during her life, and vory seldom has a person such as this had any heavy nllliotiou wbntovcr. Sho is in a continual dread of somothing happening, and if any ac cident docs occur, sho usually claims tho honor of having prophesied it; in fact, nt such a timo sho is always an "I told you so" kind of person. If tbo children are a littlo Into in returning from school sho is positivo somothing is tho rnattor with them. A neighbor reminds hor that her children, who attend tbo samo school, aro also lato. Such a communi crtion docs not rcliovo her in tho least, for it doesn't matter whoso children nro late, sho is positivo bora never would be so unless something hod happened. Tho children conic homo all right, and that blows over, only to bo ropontcd when they nro out of hor sight again. Tho baby does not Irani to talk fast enough, mid sho is suro ho is novcr going to speak, for nil tho other chil dren bcRan to speak lone beforo thoy wcro bis age. Inn few months baby ubcs his toiiKiio. and afterward astonish es her by learning faster nnd speaking plainer than any of tho other children hnvo dono nt his ngc. If thero is any illness in tho family, no matter of how slight n nature, no physician enn con vince her that it is not a dangerous mal ady, nnd sho worrios and frets until tho person is well, whon sho transfers her worrimont to somothing elso. 8ho fore seen nny nmount of troublo, but soldom bos any. It docs seem as though this very thing ought to convince her as to uscloesiicss of borrowing troublo; but no ; it has grown to bo a pnrt of her na ture, ana vory olten only tho presenco of real troublo will destroy it. Fruit blossoms are moro porfectly fer tilized in dry weather than wet.
