In consideration of the evil of the trallle in this direetlon, jeide from its debasing inlluonee in the home circle, ttnd In every elas uf so ciety, is it not lime it was checked? The following from the Oreioniaii if furthtr evidence of its eorrunting inilu enee In the politic of Oregon : Ij'tst year the orgiini.ed liquor rings of Oregon interfered in a most unjust i llalde manner in the iMlil of this Ma'o.

It was a most scandalous alliance, and it partially succeeded in its puroso. The Orc(f)iin attacked it with veho jneinv, Net forth tho scandalousness of noh a continuation, exposed the vill niny of its method, and nppeahd to the Hple to l-at it. It ought to have Ix-cn lieaten in every part of its under taking, hut it sueeeed in fleeting: the justice of the supremo eourt and tlte Mate senator in Multnomah.

It Is generally admitted that the granular system' in buttcr-niakntg Is not only o great saving of lahor hut also the means of obtaining tiettor result.

Henry Ward lleceher was one of the few men v, ho are- lMrn Mith the gift of cxteiniian)"ous sH-ch. Jlis power in this direction Consisted not merely in his command f language, but in hisatHuent imagina tion, his warm impulses, his fertility in resource, in his power of Midden con verging his mind and heart uon the theme. Mr. Heechcr was like Dr. Ilcl lows, w ho com pl;ii lied that men some time treated him as if he wen a Inittle front whieh it w as only necessary to re move the Mopiier. Mr. lkveher's elo quence was not of tliegrandihxpient or orotund type. It was conversational, dramatic; it gleamed with wit ami humor or dropped into pathos; it soar ed on the lofty wings of the imagina tion, ami swoojied down again into an ecdote and illust ration. Hidiscourses were full of windows, that let in the light; and some of them set in stained glass, whieh glowed with Wnutiful im agery. CtrMian J? f;i.st r.

There is a net tled fitdifig in Administration circle! that a Kentuckian with such a record as his is too rare a curosity to send out of the country even to a loan exhibition. The Albany Democrat has the fol lowimr view concerning the l'rohibt try Amendment: "From wnat we ee and hear, we estimate that the Pro hibitory Amendment will receive a larger vote in Linn county, in projior tion to the mmilier of votes cast, titan it w ill receive in any county in the Mate." ship which keeiw hint and all others nil' nt.

It is not a question, so far a profit is concerned, how much a pig will wi'isjli wheinlrcssid, as it is how much it has cost. The suei'ss in hog rearing turns on this one ixint.

If you have let your horses unfortun ately get thin during the winter, lose no time in feeding up. The full strenutli or the animals will be required in plow ing and seeding time.

A sure way to have good cows is to raise them yourself. Trim out the dead wood in currant and gooseberry bushes. Prune grape vines to two or three buds of Jast year's growth. Get out of the old ruts if they do not pay and this spring begin on something new. Wliere hogs can lie grown healthy and pound, swine raising is a safe busi- lieas at current prices. Good butter und cheese cannot lie made from tlte milk of cows that are deprived of pure water. The finest pork made in the world is that produced on the Madeira Islands, where the swine live princiiially on nuts.
