Progressive Farming.
. "TFrom the California Agriculturist.
By natural selection great changes
tiave been wrought in plants, animals
and men;. i And by systematic selection
,man has so encouraged peculiarities of
plants and domestic animals as to create
or cause different breeds and varieties.
Thorough breeding and cultivation is
developing, by furnishing the best sorts,
positions, ways and means for a given
'object, and by removing all obstacles to
such improvement. ' There is certainly
much in natural adaptation and natural
self-adjusting. The effect of our cli
mate upon the same varieties of corn,
grains, vegetables and fruits, is so re
markable as to be noticed by all ot our
farmers from the older btatcs. lhc
.effect on animals, though not eo marked
at first, is none the less observable in a
few generations. The physical character
istics of men born and bred in different
eection of the country are quite as
plainly to be noticed as the difference
in speech and in deportment. Wild
Animals of a kind differ in different lo
canities, but are all about alike where
the conditions are equal ; but under
years of systematic breeding and do
mestication by man, they may be made
jto o conform to traits and modes as to
become distinct breeds from the same
Mock. For instance, take a stock of
cattle, all about alike, and breed from
one portion for beef alone; from another
portion for milk especially, and in a tew
years they will represent two distinct
breeds. We see it stated in the Ameri
tan Agriculturist that a distinct family
of short born grades has been produced
v in East Windsor, Connecticut, within
he last thirty years. They are good
milkers, and sell at very high prices.
Uti COUrse tniS uas . ueeu uruum.
about by breeding for a purpose, with
Btrict'attention to choice selections. Any
aettled farmer can, by strict attention to
business, constantly improve the good
points and dispositions of.liia stock in
this way, whether of cattle, horses,
jsheep, pigs or poultry.
First get the best sorts obtainable
tbe ones no&rest the- desired standard
and then always select and encourage
10 beat for breeding. If for milk,
' . i . 1 1 1 U I

breed only from the best milkers, dis
posing of the poorest, indepeiulent of
other considerations.
The vegetable kingdom is subject to
the same laws. Careful selection of
seed will not only keep up the standard
sorts, "but improve them. We have
known eminently successful farmers and
gardeners go iuto the fields and pare
fully gather the best samples by hand,
rejecting every seed not the best. This
sown to itself would the second year
produce seed enough to plant a large
field. Such selection pays in the loug
run, and it is more of a pleasure than a
trouble to a cultivator that likes his
business.
Local Papers.
The following from the Chicago Daily
7?77wiican,contains many truths "which
the people of Oregon in particular seem
to be in a great measure strangers to.
Hence we give it place in our columns,
and commend it to the careful consid
eration of our readers :
" What tells us so readily the stand
ing of a town or city asthe appearance
of its paper? And its youth or ago
can as well be defined by the observing
as by personal notice. I ho enterprise
of its city is depicted by its advertise
ments, their liberality by the looks of
the paper. Some papers show a good,
solid, healthy foundation, plethoric
purses, and a well-to-do appearance
generally ; others show a striviug to
contend with the crrasrinp: thousand
around them, trying hard to wrench
out an existence from the close-fisted
community around them. An occasional
meteoric display in its columns of tele
graphic or leals or of editorials, shows
what it can do if it had the means, but
cannot continue in the expensive wo'rk
until support comes, which ought to be
readily granted. r A newspaper is like a
church; it wauts fostering at the early
commencement, and for a few years;
then, as a general thing it can walk
alone, and reflect credit upon its lo
cation. Take your home paper, it gives
you more news of immediate interest
lhan the New York or other papers ;
it talks for you when other localities be
lie you ; it stands up for your rights ;
you always have a champion in your
home paper; and those who stand up
for you should certainly be well sus
tained. Your interests are kindred and
equal, you must (stand or fall together.
Therefore it is your interest to support
your home paper, not grudgingly, but
in a liberal spirit, as a pleasure, not as
a
a disagreeable duty, but as an invesf
meat that will amply pay the expendi-
lure.
a r
Vallejo'r S? in ule, iJnu.E. - A late
number ot the New York Tribune says.
"We beg leave to call the attention of
book collectors to the fact that in the
town of Vallejo, California, there is
only one bible. It is in black-letter,
and the owner thereof cannot read it.
It is said to have been printed in 1011,
but if it is in black letter it must be
older than that, wc should think.
If the owner will but send this inter
esting relic to New York, he can ex
change it for bibles enough to supply
all the Christians in Vallcjc octavo,
quarto, duodecimo; bibles plain, and
illustrated; cheap bibles, and Dore's
bible; nonpariel, minion, brevier, bour
geois, long primer and pica bibles ; bi
bles, in fact, of all sorts and sizes and
shapes, including Spanish bibles, Eng
lish bibles, Dutch bibles, Latin, Greek,
and Hebrew bibles, and bibles in the
sweet language of the Sandwich fs
lands. Possibly among all these there
may be a biblo which the Vallejo man
can read, to the great edification of his
soul."
To Train a Horse to Stand.
The American Slock Journal contains
tho following directions : " Take your
horse on the barn floor and throw a
strap over his back and fasten it to his
fore foot ; lead him along and say whoa;
at the same time pull down on the strap,
which throws him on three feet and
makes him stop suddenly. This is the
best way to teach whoa, though you can
put on the war bridle and cay whoa,
and give a sharp jerk, that will 6top
him about as socn as the strap to his
foot. Then put him in harness with a
foot-strap, as directed under thd head of
' training to harness,' and dnvc him
up to the door. Tho moment ho un
dertakes to start take his foot up and
say whoa. Get in your carriage and
get out again, rattle tho thills, make all
the noiso in knd out you can and give
him to understand, by snatching his foot
each time he moves, that ho must stand
until you tell him to go; and after a
few times you can put the whole family
in tho carriage and ho won't stir out of
his tracks.

t'ady Stanton Lecture.
'From the Western World.
Tn her lecture about girls, the other
evening, Cady Stanton contrasted the
buoyant spirit of young males with the
iejected sickliness of immaturo;women.
This, she says, is because the latter are
keenly sensitive to the fact that they
have no aim in life. This is a sad, sad
troth I No longer aco than yesterday
the Town Crier s youngest girl Glo
nana, sitim-muic Dionde concern ot
fourteen, came pensively up to her
father with big tears in her little eyes,
and a forgotten morsel of buttered
bread lying unchewed in her mouth :
Papa," murmured the poor thing,
"I'm getting awful pokey, and my
clothes don't seem to set well in the
back. My days are full of ungratify
ing longings and my nights don't get
any better. Papa, I think society needs
turning inside out and scraptn . 1
haven t prot nothin to aspire to no
aim; no anything !" And the desolate
creature piled herself loosely into a
cane-bottom chair, and her sorrow
broke "like a great dyke broken." The
Town Crier lifted her tenderly upon his
knee and bit her softly on the neck.
Gloriana," said he, " have you chewed
un all that irum in two days? A
smothered sob was her frank confes
sion. " Now, sec here, Glo," continued
the parent, rather sternly, " don't let
me hear any more about 4 aspirations
which are always aduftcrated with
terra alba nor aims ' which will
give you the gripes like anything. You
just take this two-bit piece and invest
every cent of it in iiz -paste !'' Y'ou
should have seen the long, bright smile
crawl from'onc of that innocent's ears to
the other yon should have marked
that face sprinkle all over with dimple
you ought to have beheld the tears of
joy jump flittering into her eyes and
spili over the father's clean shirt that he
hadn't had on more than fifteen min
ufes. Caly Stanton is impotent of evil
in the Town Crtcr's family as long as
a vestige of that Gg-paste remains on
lund
joldthk I HUTU. onic one wa
telling me, the other day, a new story
about the late lean Richmond, who
was known fir and wide for his profan
ity and giddiness of manner. Richmond
was here at tin tune, and rny informant
who was then a boy working in a print
ing office, wished to get a pass over the
Central Riilroad, Witl this purpose
in view he entered the office where the
magnate was, fearing that he would be
rudely rebuffed when he made his mis
sion known. After a moments hesi
tation, he said, falteringly :
" Mr. Richmond, I believe ?"
" Yes ; what do you want of roe ?"
I should like, sir, to get a pass from
Albany to Huflalo, as I can go up on
the boat for nothing
" On what grounds do you ask for a
pass?" (This was in a rising and very
rough voice).
" On the ground that I don't want to
pay my fare."
Richmond without another word
wrote out a pass and handed it to the
applicant.
Tho boy took it, saying: "Thank
you, thank you, Mr. Richmond."
" Y'ou needn't thank me, young fel
low. I'm glad to accommodate yon.
You are the first person I have ever
known to ask for a pass on tho right
grounds." Advertiser Gazette.
Vicious habits are a great stain upon

An Outlet To Lake Superior.
An ancient outlet to Lake Superior has
been discovered by tbe Michigan Geo.
logical Sor.vcy. This outlet is unmis
takable in its character, and consists of
a deep valley or depression, bordered
with high bluffa, and is continuous from
the south, shore of Lake Superior to
Green Ray in Lake Michigan. Tho
practicability ot a ship canal is suggest
ed by this discovery, and surveys will
no doubt soon be made to that end.
Should it be found practicable, it will
greatly'shorton the distance betweon
the ports on tho lakes.

Prof. Chandler, editor of the Ameri
can Chemist states in that journal that
when solid nitrate of silver is placed
upon glowing charcoal, deflagration
takes place, the result being that silver
is left behind in the metallic state. The
curious phenomenon attending the re
action is that the nitrate, being fused
by the heat of chemical action, sinks
down in the pores of the coal, and as
each particle of the latter is replaced
by tbe reduced silver, the structure of
the original wood is retained. In this
way he has succeeded in producing
masses of silver weighing an ounce or
more, which show most beautifully the
rings of annual growth in the wood.
The author advises that a crystal of the
nitrate be placed on the end of a stick
I cbcoal, and the blow-pipe flame
directed upon the coal beside it to start
the reaction. As soon as the deflagra
tion sets in crystal after crystal may be
added.
