In this case the decline has Ieen more than compensated by the increase of ersons sending milk. This indus try, quickly organized and carried on. is distributing considerable money among our farmers, w here none, ar but little, was realized before. From present indications, the creamery will le well patronized during the coming summer. We are informed that the most pro ductive and best paying cows are the Ayrshire of Thos. II. Tongue. This Jias leen true more particularly during the winter months. While the present depressed price of grain continues, it would be well if our farmers and stock men would ex amine carefully the working of the creamer', and the costs and profits of butter making.

Editor Independent : In your last issue, your correspondent from Forest Grove threw out the insinuation that others who took chickens to the Poultry Show at Portland aud received a majority f the premiums, did not raise the chickens they exhibited. Now allow ing that some one who exhibited chickens at the show did not raise them, and yet received the credit for it, this seems to me a very small matter to complain of and it matters not who raised the chickens so long as they were put on ex hibition and entitled to the premiums received. The shew wss get ten up for the purpose of bringing out the best poultry exhibit possible in the state, and if the owners saw fit to send their chickens to the show by an agent, they were at liberty to do so, and it seems entirely out of place for any to feel sore because thev did not get more prizes. And in the future, If any one wishes to win a larger number of premiums they should take a finer lot of chickens. Rooster. far.

Yesterday the barn of Mr. Doinier, near Ames Chapel, was destroyed by fire, tegether with two wagons, harness and a quantity of hay and other feed. He had been raking the barn-yard, and went Into the house, when one of his little sons set fire to one of the piles of rub bish, which communicated to the barn. The neighbors saw the fire, and in ten minutes twenty or more of them were present with buckets, and prevented the spread of the flames to his dwelling and other buildings near by. The loss will aggregate $000 or $700; no insurance. He has the sympathy of the community. The K. of L. public meeting at Union hall, on the 22d int., was a success, a targe crowd being pre--ut. In the foie noon, Mr. Griffiths, of Portland, gave an interesting lecture on the objects and purposes of the Knights of Labor. Also, the assemblage was favored with instru mental and vocal music by Misses Eliz abeth and Louise Tucker; the rendition was pleasing. A most sumptuous din ner was spread by the sisters of the K. of L. and Butte Grange. After every body had been served, Mr. Hayes, lec turer of the state Grange, gave a review of the work of the Grange, its triumphs and struggles, and gave many most con vincing arguments why the farmers should be organized. Mr. Hayes is an able speaker, and understands his sub ject thoroughly. He aroused a deep in terest in the movement. Mrs. KafTer and Mis Wilshire won ap plause by their performances on the vio lin.
