Captain Hoekwoll, of tho United States coast and geodetic survey, has mado a special repot t upon Capes Lookout and Men res, on tho Oregon coast, as to their relative importance for a light house site. Congress at its last session made an appropriation for a light house at Capo Moures, or somo other selected point. At Capo Look out ho reports a very good haibor of refuge in heavy northwest weather. 1 Ins cape is a rather remarkable pro montory of basaltic rock jutting boldly from the general direction of tho coest lino for ono and a half miles to west southwcbt. Tho height f this pro montory is -1 f0 foot at tho looward face, which is only four or live bun dled yards broad. It is covered with spruce and hemlock, and is tn.n Tersely cut by deep and very rough de pressions. Tho water close under tho point of this capo is apparently very deep, as (hero was no sign of breakers in a largo northwest swell. When very violent winds wore blowing from tho northwest thoro was smooth wator to tho leeward of tho capo. Tho southern face of tho capo is very stoop and rocky, and is nearly a straight Hue, Small steamers running from Astoria to Nestucca river make uo of this anchorage as a refuge under strotH of weather.

Ho is a wipo farmer who provides plenty of pasture for his hogs in sum mer. The hog is entitled to grass in summer as much so as tho cow, and will profit by it cuuall v as well. In his wild or natural stato ho lives during tho entire year upon such food as ho can pick up grass in summer and mast, roots and urubs in winter. But in his domesticated slate his choice of food i? more limited on account of the less range allowed him, and, therefore, needs something more. Many farmers pay very little attention to what food their hogs get until fattening tunc, thinking that until then all that is necessary is to give them barely enough to keep them alive, when they aro im patient to stun them with all the corn they will eat. The tendency of a corn diet is to produce fat and to heat the system, and therefore very suitable in winter, or for the final preparation of the animals for market; but young growing hogs need a more bulky as well as a more cooling and loosening diet in summer, not only the better to preserve their health, but to distend their stomachs and build up bono and muscle to enable them to digest more food and carry more weight of liesh than when confined exclusively to corn. Of all tho cultivated grasses there is, none, probably, f if wo may except lucerne), that will produce as much food and of a kind more relished by hogs as clover. Hut as clovor does not coino forward very early in the spring, and is nioro or less liable to suffer from drought, it is bolter to supplement it by having a permanent lot or two of grass that is less subject to these draw backs. 1 or this purpose there is noth ing to equal lucerne in its capacity to btiind dry weather, which makes it es pecially adapted to our more southern States, where clover cannot be so suc cessfully grown. The next best thing to it is orchard grass, as it starts very early in tho spring, bears continuous grazing, stands drouth well and grows till late in tho fall, slight frosts not in juring it in the least. It is highly necessary, too, that a pasture for such animals should con tain running water to supply them with fresh water at all tunes. If not it should bo furnished from a pump or well in troughs or pipes leading to tho same. And as hogs aro so liable to suller from boat in tho summer, it is of great importance that they should be furnished with shade, whether from spreading trees or a thicket of bushes Indeed, it is cruel to confine hogs to pasture in which there is no shade. oithor natural or artificial, and there foro tho most necessary, in tho ab sence of tho former, that the latter bo supplied by making them temporary shelter of some kind, of which there aro none nioro cheaply or conveniently made than of poles covered with straw until trees aro planted to take their place. Hut while clovor or other gnus is the mam dependence for hogs in summer thero is anotlur crop not suflieiently appicciiited by tho generality of farm ers, and that is pumpkins. They aro very easily raised, and hogs not only thrive on tliem wonderfully, but they can bo fed them from the 1st of Octo OREGON NEWS. Everything of General Interest in a Condensed Form.

It is generally supposed that alfalfa needs largo quantities of water for its successful growth. This is not so. Of course, heavier and more frequent crops can bo secured when there is plenty of water for irrigation. Hut oven without that aid there is no plant which will withstand drnughtand yield heavier crops than alfalfa. On tho drv and arid plains of Kansas it can bo cut at least three times each season with out being irrigated, and this is tho gen oral experience where irrigation is not practiced. Fowls in conlinemont icquiro a va rioiy oi lood to prosper, thev require a mixture of green food with grain, as much as horses or cattle do. Too much solid food, where theio is not proper exorcise, tends to fatten. When hens take on fat thoy usually fall off laying. Yarded fowls do not need the same hearty food as birds at liberty. Light, nutritious and easily digested food is required by fowls in confine ment. Never allow them to make whole corn a staple diet. Fresh meat two or three times a week is necessary for fowls in conlinemont, and in sum mer especially, when thoy aro deprived ot insect food. A farmer in Greonboro, Md., think tug to ohango his grade of potatoes, barreled all that ho had, shipped them to Haltinioro, ami ordered a few barrels of extra flue Northern potatoes for seed, While barreling his own tubers he lost his spectacles.
