MOUNT HOOD!
To the People of Oregon Look to your
TnterestsH

ny NJ. MORRIS AND W. C. AVERY,
n both old Oregonians, having beyond
doubt the largest in the world, propose to the
people of Oregon to take this monster to the At
lantic States and exhibit him Oregon pro-
duction. Before leaving the State, they wish
every man, woman and child in Oregon, to see
Mount Hood upon legs, and in order to give them
opportunity to do so, they will exhibit him at
the approaching Linn County Fair, and, also, at
the State Fair, for the of 25 cents children
half price, Their object in doing this is to raise
means for transportation. All those who think
that it will have u tendency to wake up the peo-
pie of the Eastern States realize the fact that
there Is such place as Oregon on the Pacific
slope, and that not only large CATTLE but every
thing else in advance of the rest of the world,
and all that is necessary is industry and economy
to realize a fortune in Oregon in few years. and
that it is the best place to enjoy fortune after
has been accumulated. Business men make
note OF this, and remember that money makes the
OK &C, and patronize us accordingly.
W. G. Avery will also have supply of Mrs.
l.. A. Stipp's Thoracc Balsam on hand, and for
sale.

The Hon. Jno. E. Sanford, Insurance Commits
sioper of Massachusetts, in his Report for 1868,
speaking of Dividends in Life Insurance Compa-
nies, says, =" The such guarantees cease
to be made, and such expectations created, the
Life Insurance will come to rest on its true
motive, and men insure their lives for security,
and notfor dividends. The best and the most
popular companies will then be those that prom
ise only equity, and render all that they promise,
and furnish the best security, with the most up
right and judicious management

FEyIIE simplicity and practicability of this new
Plow commends it favorably to the special
notice of every farmer. 1t possesses decided
superiority over all other plows now in use. The
wheels are four feet in diameter, and run the
unplowed land. It's entire construction is in no
way complicated. The pSbw is managed in every
manner with ease, and requires only two levers
to be used in making any alteration. The supe-
riority of the Gay Piow will be clearly shown
by the following certificate
We, the undersigned, citizens of Linn county,
Oregon, having purchased and used upon
firms the Cay Plow, hereby certify that the
same has given entire satisfaction. It's facility
for adju=ting to suit the depth of furrow without
moving from the seat, is simple and easy. We
like the plow for its drauGht, because the same is
brought to bear directly upon the plow- beam in
stead of the carriage also, because it is strong
and durable, all except the woodwork being con-
structed of wrought iron--no castings are used.
The wheels rrnning upon the solid land is an adj
vantage over other gang plows, in striking off
land and in plowng not having to make the
essary changes in the machinery, and the seat is
always level. not thr wing the driver forward
sideways as in other plows. Better work and
more of ii can be accomplished by the use of this
PIow than by hand.

PLoUGH1Nd UP RAW Solve some
times hear farmers remark that ploughing
deep, they get less grain; that bringing
up the new mellow soil, their crops suffer.
1t would be very strange if this was not
the case, for this soil, even if ever so mel
low, is raw Just like manure when it is
green or 'long.' 1t is not yet converted
or changed into plant food. 1t needs just
what the long manure needs--to be
changed by the heat and the air-'that is
decomposed or rotted.
When the top soil is less fertile than it
used to be when the land was first titled,
you may rest assured that this under soil
is always better than the upper soil, be-
cause the upper has detcriorated, while
the under has not, but rather improved.
1t is, therefore inadvisable, nay, suici-
dal in some soils, to turn up deeply the
underground in the spring or in the fall
at sowing time. The cold, cherries
ground will not help the grain, and were
it not for the other mixed with it, an al
most total failure would be the result
But turn it up in the fall and let the
frost and the elements take hold of it,
and you have another soil it is turned
into manure, a good part of it. A little
lime mixed with it, scattered and harrow
ed in, or manure, or both, would facilitate
the process. In the spring SOW, either
with or without another ploughing, and
you will find no more occasion to CON-
plain. We have great fertility to draw
upon from below, but it requires man.
aging.
