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

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. The Oregon Pacific
company presented them with 100
acres of their land grant. The colo
nists bought a newspaper outfit In
Portland, says the News, and Will be
gin publishing a paper as soon as
matters are arranged. Another colo
ny of 1,000 people will shortly come
from Missouri and become a part of
the colony. Toledo will then have a
population of 1210, and will be thi!
twelfth town in size in Oregon. Until
the colony came it inhabitants num
bered forty. This is the same colony
that intended to settle in Lane county
on the Lower Sinslaw river, but was
prevented on account of not being
able to procure suitable lands.
