The following ia from the Little Falls Herald, of Morrison coouty, Minu., wherein it given a system of dry farmiug by one H. W. Campbell. It is believed it will prove an inter esting article to many of onr farmers. The article follows: Anyone who has doubts of the practicability of the Campbell sys tem shoo id come here before harvest and comiare the crops on the Pome- roy farm with tuose upon the farms that sorionud it, for the yield of wheat, oats, oorn, potatoes aud every thing else that is growing will be four or five times as great as will be harvested ou the other side of the fence. Mr. Campbell has beon working in North Dakota, Sooth Dakota Ne braska and Kaunas for 20 years or more, trying to induoe farmers to adopt bis plan of "soil culture, "as he calls it, and everywhere he has been from the James River in the north to the Arkansas, he has been equally sucessful in producing without irri gation the same results that are usually expected with irrigation with comparatively little more ex pense, but a good deal more care and labor. The whole thing is simply the exerolse of care and patience, and any man of ordinary intelligence can work it as well as a college pro fessor could. Mr. Campbell's prinnip'es, as he explained them to me are: 1. Catch the rainfall and store it where the roots of the plant can reach it 3. Keep the soil always fine aud loose. 3. Have a firm, solid foundation under the soil a bottom to hold the water. "What will this accomplish?" I asked. "The careful, regular application of these principles in farming will produce at least three times the re suits of ordinary farming, aud often four or five times the results, " said Mr. Campbell. "What is that additional expeuse? "Iu Iowa or eastern Kansas not more than 35 per cent more labor is necessary than is usually expended upon a crop by a good farmer. Ou the prairies, as a rule, farmiug is cheap and slipshod aud twice the labor is uecessnry. But this is offset to a certain extent by a saving of two-thirds of the seed. An ordinary funnel sows 40 quarts ot wheat to the acre aud gets from nothing to 20 bushels, 13 bushels to the acre being the average crop of the state, aud 1" bushels the highest stute average that has been raached in Kansas for 10 years. Under my system auy uaius tukiug farmer by sowing 12 quarts of wheat to the acre aud cultivating his soil carefully will harvest any where from 40 to 51! bushels without fail." "How do you do it?" "iiy storing the rainfall iu the soil, " answered Mr. Campbell, "by keepiug the surface of the ground always loose, which stops evaporation. It is impossible for moisture to rise to the surfaoe through loose soil, and that leaves the grouud in the best con dition to receive the next rainfall. Thus you can mako 14 inches of raiu go as far is 2 inches in raising all kinds of crops or plants or trees. Wa do net losj auy of the rain we have full benefit of it. We keep It stored where the roots of the plants can reach it when they need it. ' "How do yon accomplish this?" "IS? stirring np the soil with a revolving disk, aud then going over it again and filling op the furrow. We call Ibis 'double disking.' It pulverizes the soil aud levels it off. We keep goiog over it again aud again, begin early iu the spring aud continuing until the last ot June or the first part of July. Afler every rain we stir np the soil, either with a disk or an 'Acme' harrow. Filially we plow seven inches deep in the ordiuary way and follow the plow with a subsurface packet a machine which makes a compact, solid bottom, four inches from the surface, under the loose soil. Then we go over it again with the Acme harrow so as to keep the top soil loose and pulver ized. After working the soil for a year in this way by what we call Summer tilliug,' we put iu our wheat, either in the fall or in the spring, as is usual. The first year we do not put in auy seed. W'e simply keep stirring op the ion thai it win remain loose aud pulverized, and after! one vear of this sort of cultivation 1 three crotis call be grown in tUCCet- sion ithout renew ing the tilling. In some canes it ia better to till every other year and raise a crop alternate years. ' ' If crops are planted every year the reaper must be Immediately fol lowed bv the tilow aud the stubble immediately turned under aud the soil disk sod barrow kept at work all winter if it is spring wheat, or from June harvest to the September planting if winter wheat. The same rule must be applied to all the other kinds of crops, i "To repeat: It is simply a question ! of the thorough working of the soil, ' as I have described. That ia more Important than Ibe rainfall. No 1 man can expect a crop who simply 1 tenia under the sod aud trailers his teed and hauls a harrow carelessly ! over the field. Labor and paint sre necessary to produce good retain, whether yon sre farming or making , furniture or publishing auewtpeper.

George. Cortelyou, Postmaster General. The R. F. D. News for August has the following to say regarding orders to be given by the postofllce depart ment which will interest not only rural free delivery carriers bnt the people who are patrons of the rural routes: "To faoilitae a more no enrato handling of the mail by rural free dulivery oarriers the poBtofllce department ia arranging for the num bering of all rural letter boxes which, under the regulations of the depart ment, are entitled to serviue, and authorizing the delivery by rural letter carriers of ordinary mail mut ters rf all classes addressed to boxes by number alone, so long as improper and nulawful business is not con ducted thereby, the same as is now permitted in the case of postofllce boxes. "Instructions will be sent to post masters within a short time to assign to boxesentitled to service cousecutive numbers beginning with the first box reached by carrier after leaving the postofllce, and a new box erected sub soqueut to the original numbering will bo assigned subsequent to the next cousecutive number iu use ou the particular route. "Boxes on newly established routes will net be nu in he red uutil (10 day after the commencement of the ser vice in order that ample time may be allowed for all prospective patrons to secure boxes. "The postoilice department lias iu augurated a new policy iu the matter of painting the rural letter boxes. The rural letter carriers are now to become knights of the paiut brush, aud receive an additional compen sation for the extra work, which, by the way, will not be compulsory. "There are 3,000,000 rural boxes iu the country, and before the close of the so miner mouths tbtse boxes will be resplendent in a coat of brilliant green paint, which paint will be furnished by the department. "Some days ago Postmaster General Cortelyou aked tho comptroller of the treasury if he could employ the rural b tier carriers to paint the rural boxes. Tho comptroller decided that the postmaster general could contract with the carriers to paiut these box s, provided it did not interfere with the mail service and the carriers were willing to do the work. The comptroller also suggested that it would only he proper to see that the work was done at a uniform price. "In a few days the ruial carriers will be informed by the department that they will be allowed so much st box the price not iieiug fixed by the postmaster general the department furnishing the paiut."

This jear be has two acres to beans and one acre to onions. His beans will b a good crop, but the yield of lii minus will be greatly injured by the ravages of some new pest.

The raising ot Angora goats is soon to be one of the big industries of Oregon. The climate and rauge are so favorable to goats that mohair equal to the fiueat Turkish is pro duced aud in the markets brings the highest prioe. There are now thousands of these goats in the Willamette Valley and they are being Introduced into ether sections of the state. There are now many fine bauds in Rogue River Valley whore the brush covered hills and uii'd, dry climate affords ideal conditions for cheap fuel and l.ealthfnlnesa for ttie goats. Angora goats are being introduced into other of the Western states and of the profit of a baud in Idaho the Milton Eagle has the following to tell: J. II. Smith, who owns 320 acres uear Freese, Idaho, has fully demon strated the fact that Angora goat raising is not only a source of revenue. but affords a most valuable means of cleaning laud. One year ago last Spring lie brought from Kalispol to his flue range I'M head of Angoras, paying (t for the ewes aud flO for the bucks. It does not require much at tention to care for the flock, as they thrive well upon young trees and noxious weeds, thus aiding materially iu cleaning the laud. 'During last winter I fod to my 10(1 goats not to exceed 12 tons of hay, and yet they were iu the best of conditiou,' said Mr. Smith. This Spring his flock had increased to SCO, nearly 100 pur cent. The clip, which has Just boeu taken off, weighed UNO pounds, five pouuds to the fleece. Mr. Smith is snow delivering this oil board the cars at Palouso, Wash., for Miu oeajiolis, at 60 cents per pound. "On tho figures given the flock oost 1200. The uext year's return from the mohair is 4S0. 1'he increaso ia 1(14, which at 3.60 for this year's kids represents 410 more. The grots profit on the transaction is therefore M00, from which the oost of 12 tons of bay, wages for shearing, aud the oost of taking the mohair to market are the deductions So the goats how a OH 2 3 per cent profit, Irre spective of the valuo of the clearing they did.

DEVELOPS A MINt ON LIMITED CAPITAL Miner Puts In a Mill and Cyanide Ple.nl and Builds It of Material H&d e.t His Mine. J. H. W'hitrock in the suocssful manner la which he Is workiug a quarts claim on tiddlers gulch, a tributary to Josephine creek, is demonstrating what could be doue ith many claims now idle in this district, to make them profitable gold producers with the Investment of but small capital supplemented by sclentiflo skill. Mr. Whitrook is a Grants Pass yonng man, having little money bnt tnuoh ambition aud deter mination. Realising that the mere prospector has but a small chance of Winning out on a quarts proposition that he may locate waiting for a buyer is not always profitable. When Mr. Whitriock located bis claim on Fiddlers gulch he determined not to wait, possibly years for a buyer, bnt to woik the miue to the best Ins small capital would permit. By working for others he saved money enough to take a course iu a San Francisco mining school and gained a knowledge of the varions processes for treating gold ore. Two years ago he began to equip his miue. Assisted his father, Ileury W'hitrock, he bnilt an arrastte aud having an available water power he utilised that by a id-foot overshot wheel to operate the arrastre. The ore was at first almost all free milling and as It run high In values, the W'bltrocks made big wages with their little plaut, which they had bnilt oul if material at baud, as only a rough trail gave them transportation to the Illinois river settlements where lumber and other material could be had. Their development work on the velu pene trated to base ore aud they fonud that most o the values were being lost Iu the tailings. To effect this saving Mr. Whitrook bnilt a small cyanide plant. It has a oapacity of 600 pouuds a day and it has proven a very profit able undertaking, for while the arras tre Is securiug good returns the rock is so very rich that the cyanide plaut Is able to save from 25 to 35 a tou. Mr. W'hitrock is making no demon stratiou about his miulug venture aud has no promotor to give lurid ao eouuts of fabulous wealth, bnt he and his father are quietly working away In the solitude of the Coast rauge of mountains developing their miue and getting a bank account that will enable them to equip It with a oomplote mill for bundling ore ill large quantities. They have a tunnel in a dlstane of 240 feet on the veiu aud the latter ia now showing op even better values than wheu first uciied and ia fully three font in width. There is every In dication to show that Mr. W'hitrock has a mine that will be one of the big gold producers iu Southern Ore gou. There are many other similar propositions in his district awaiting the right man to duvulop them aud to make them into good paying prop erties. Peculiar Disappearance. J. D.

WHILE PEDDLING FRUIT BOYS MAKE DISTURBANCE Riding Car Steps and Into Other Trouble May Cause Them to Be Kept Off Depot Grounds. The boys peddling fruit on the de pot grounds are likely to cause them selves to be prohibited from soiling fruit about the trains as has been the case with the fruit peddlers a: Eugene, 'Albany and Salem, where the boys by their unnecessary noise, fights and by riding on the cars brought an order down on them that ended their busiuess career. Early Iu the summer a few boys began to peddle fruit about the trains at the Grants Pass depot. The busi ness proving profitable other boys took it up until uow there are a score or more boys yelliug at the top of their voices while rnnuitig up. To these boys are added au equal uumber of idle boys, who with (lie fruit boys, amuse themselves while waiting for the trains by getting into fights and by other diveraious known to boys. While tho tialu Is pulling iu many of the boys hang on to the stops and tide to the depot. ftou two and three boys are clinging to one Pullman car steps. A slip will be made some day und a bov will lose a leg or an arm or his life. It Is against Hie rules of the railroad com pany and also a heavy flue by the city for boys to steel rides ou steps aim other places. Many of the boys are well behaved and make no ditturbanoo or ride car steps, but the hoodlum boys, who always gather at such places, by their flgh nig and geueral disturbance are liable to cause the railroad company to enforce their rules and all the boys, bad and good, will be kept off the depot grounds. If they behave themselves they will probably be al lowed to earn motley by telling fruit, otherwise lo go as the Eugene boys went last week. Wu in Poor Health For Yctrt. In. W.

Poultry raising as usually carried on by the farmers of Josephine, ia in a very easy-goiug maimer aud no system ia employed. The chickens take their chances for food and shelter aud the laying season for the hens is only for a few weeks in the spring with uot au egg for the remainder of the year. The few chickens raised nre also creatures of chauce aud of tho industry aud secretivenesa of the hens in hiding theii nests. The re sult of this haphazard production if poultry is that eggs are a drug on the market for a few mouths iu the spring and for the remainder of the yeai are almost impossiblo of pur chase even at 40 to 50 cents a dozen. 1'oultry supply aud prices fluctuate fully as much as do eggs. This feast and famine iu the poultry and market with the very profitable prices that cau be had fur the greater part of the year ia stimulating per sons to undertake the poultry bust uesi and carry it on under systematic methods.
