Don't attempt to cheat an editor out of-.i year' sub Fcription of his paper, or any slim. Cheat the minister, cheat the butcher anvhodv but if you have any re- card for vonr future COU-CdUcnccs don't fool with a printer, lie will get even with you and more too. You will be put up for oflk'e some time, or want some public favor for yourself or some of your friends, and just when your luck is a thing of beauty and a joy forever, the printer will open up on you and knock your air castles into a cocked hat at the first blow. Bill Nye. Good Kent Dairy farming adds one dollar per acre to the value of land, while it saves one dollar per acre of the value of the land as against grain arming, this is two dollars per acre good rent. Twenty of the poorest milch cows in the country, that two men can milk in one hour and a half in the morning, and the same in the evening, will pay the wages of the two hired hand and furnish groceries for a good sued family, by selling cream at ton centp a guage. The skim milk will raise 20 hogs that will be worth $0 each, $120, and to this may be add ed $300 worth of calves, as a clear profit over and above the crop raised by the two hired men. Don't calcu late on simply the price of the cream, but take the results at the end of the year. Rurul Spirit. LOCATINO ON TUB OltEOON PACIFIC. A colony of 200 people have secured u town site at Toledo, a station on the Oregon Pacific railroad, 10 miles from Yaquina City and 23 miles from the I'aeilic Ocean.
