REroRT FROM OREGoN.-The following ex-
tract is taken from report made by Mr.. j.
Woo1Sde, of Marion county, Oregon Terrific
ry to the Agricultural Bureau of the Patent
Office
1--WE find that many kinds of crops can be
raised in great abundance here. We raise ex-
cellent wheat; for rye, oats, and barley, there
are few better climates, and for peas potatoes,
and varieus other kinds of vegetables, there
are few climates as good as this. Most kinds
of fruit suited to temperate climate do well
with US, and it is thought that we shall excel
in the production of apples and pears these
appear to be sure crops, and always of supe-
ror quality. Meadows and pastures, SO far
as tried, give good satisfaction. Most kinds
of cultivated grapes grow luXuriantly here
1t is only with Indian corn that we have diff
Guilty. To the production of this valuable
grain our soil is certainly not well adapted :;
but Indian corn, from being acclimated or
from some other cause, yields better now than
it did formerly, and is receiving increased at
tention from our farmers. have little doubt
but that we shall be able in little while to
cultivate it with success and advantage

To DESTROY VERNIN-The celebrated Ras-
pail, we'll known as one of the best French
chemists, has given an important recipe for
destroying vermin on animals, and also oil
plants and trees, important, at least, if true
The process he recommends is to make solu-
tion of aloes-a quarter of an ounce of that
gum to two pints of water, and, by means of
large brush, to wash over the trunks and branch
es of trees with this solution This simple pro-
cess, says Raspail, will speedily destroy all the
vermin on the trees, and will effectuaIly pre-
vent others from approaching. In order to
clear sheep and animals with long hair, they
must be bathed with the solution, or be well
washed with it. Raspail mentions several tri-
ais he has made with the mixture, all of which
have been attended with the most complete
success, and he recommends it very strongly
to general use.
