The importance of the subject of under-draining must be our excuse ?or so often referring to it. And fnrther it is certainly a fa-t that by constantly presenting the subject is the only way to secure final action upon it. We find in the Prairie Farmer the following, which is so pertinent and convincing that we give it place: lo relieve a cultivated cod from saturation with water is so obvious a matter that no person Avill fail to appiehend its purpose, an;! approve it ; but this is not the onlv purpose of drainage, nor, in-! deed, the ultimate rne. Water, of itself, can do but little harm to the soil. It may, for the time being, suspend the function of the roots in collecting plant food from the ; on, urn ine-cnii'i aarm oi sarura-1 tion is the exclusion of the air. If! thermometer thfs morning- regis ii, i u i ' tcred 'M deg. befow. Katlnsr too tne w iter be removed bv a lower ,vw-- exit, the air will follow it from above, filling the space as the water vacates it. It is not our purpose today to discuss the ques tion of how the presence of air inflects the roots of growing plants. Suffice it to say that the presence of air is necessnry to the healthy performance of life functions, whether in animals or vegetables. Death from drowning is not so much from the presence of water as from the exclusion of air. Though death from drowning does not follow as rapidly in vegetables as in animals, yet it follows as cei lainly, and from the same cause the exclusion of air. Even "where there is no saturation to remove, the presence of air in the soil ha an important function to perform in placing the elements of plant food, as they exist in the soil, in an available form for ab-1 sorption by the roots of growing j crps. Apart from its chemical j action on the organic and mineral matter in the soil, air exerts important chemical action. It breaks up the cohesion of strong clays, and disposes them to crumble and become friable am? loose. This effect, which at first is confined to the imrne liate vicin ity of the tile, is extended year by year, in some soils more rapid y than in other, but in all to a very appreciable extent. A tile drain, properlv constructed, is more effi- j ipnt aftpr twentv vears' use than ! cient alter iw eni ears use uian it was at the beginning. This IS j ot, imnnrti rf r.rnaiil Amtion frr ! - - " . ' progress in agriculture aims to make every advance permanent. When a drain is made of good tile, properly laid, and the subsoil well aerified, the work is done for the present and coming generations." These facts onlv add more weight and explanation to the ones that we gave a few days ago upon the subject, and they appeal -with convincing force to the agri culturists of this valley. The sub ject must have proper and perma nent attention if our farmers wish for continued future success. It is an absolute necessity in the Wil lamette vallev. ' A iull has been submitted to Congress authorizing the entry of all railroad lands within railroad and wagon road grants and indem nity limits to those settling or oc cupying and improving previous to restoration with the expectation of purchasing from the railroad or wagon road company, and permit ting homestead or pre-emption entry at $1.25 per acre, and if the applicant shall be disqualified to enter under these laws, then the right to purchase as cash entry at Hi .25 per acre. It also provides tlhot- in oiud u-linrA imrtluK ll!ivincr! T " " 7 , pievious to restoration, purchased limits at $2.50 per acre, they shall be entitled to a rebate or repair pient of the same in excess of $1.25 per acre.

When Chicago goes to interfering with the business of lawyers in that manner, what may we expect next? Ii is said that Prof. McPhee, of Boston, who sought for health in Honolulu,found it, and also a dusky maiden of royal descent who cap tured his heart, and whom he proceeded to capture and take back to Boston with him, to th edification of the curious society people of the "Hub." The Alta discourses thusly: "This country sadly needs a mer chant a arine. There is bound to be a general European war before long and merchandise in transit bv sea will seek the protection of a neutral flag. The prospects are that ours will lie the only flag of ! that kind and we need more ships to fly it. We would advise the capitalists of this city, as a better business than cornering wheat, to j order built a gooi fleet of first-class j ships. One yeara charter under I the rates forced by the stress of j war will nearly pay for a ship." To all of which we say "just so," I with a mental reservation as to j any European war, if ship build- nig can le induced by such talk. Kit Oil (.ILI.ItM !lT.
