A Nebraska journal invitingly says;
"Who says farmers cannot get rich in this
State? Fifteen years ago Il young man
came to the State without a dollar in the
world. Last week he went out OF the
State, carrying with him the sum OF one

All through Aroostook county, light
crop fhay may be expected next summer,
on account of the scarcity of snow, during
the past few weeks. The oldest inhabitant
never before experienced an Aroostook
winter like it. Fields bare the middle Of
January are seldom seen in that latitude.

We think that the following, or its
equivalent, has been before published in
the Journal. We wish some one would

What Our Farm Stock Eat.

\ correspondent of the Farmers Union
writes: 1t is calculated from an old table
of close experiments that the quantity Of
feed to keep stock in good condition in
the winter is three pounds of good timo-
thy hay each day for every 100 pounds of
animal. This is thirty pounds Of hay for
a COW or horse weighing ,O0O pounds.

a COW or horse weighing ,O0O pounds.
100 lbs. of hay is equal to 45 lbs. wheat
100 lbs. Of hay is equal to "a lbs. barley.
100 lbs. of hay is equal to 50 lbs. oats.
100 lbs. Of hay is equal to "a lbs. rye.

100 lbs. of hay is equal to 50 lbs. linseed cake.

Corn fodder cut and secured before

and one acre will give as much substance

CARE OF LANES. Sheep are the only farm
stock that have retained OF advanced their
actual value in the market during the past
year. 1t is, therefore, for the farmers in
terest that he carefully watch his ewes and
lambs at this season. Ewes need better
care than wethers, and should be removed
to pens where they can be looked after
daily. AS they near the hour Of lambing,
they should again be removed to a warm,
dry pen, and watched closely. If the lamb
comes weakly, it should have mouthful
or two of warm milk until it is active
enough to suck. If it should become
chilled, let it be removed at once, and fed
until restored. But there will be few weak
lambs if the ewes are fed previously with
good clover hay. a few roots and handful
Of oats daily. No hog should be permitted
near pen OF lambs; and the tanner and
more gentle the sheep have been made,
the less danger there will be of the eve
resentng any interference. either with
herself or the lamb, and disowning it in
consequence.
Sheep relish oat straw, if bright and
clean The leaves of corn fodder are also
eagerly sought after by them. All these
should be supplied, if possible, for sheep
like change in their food and seem to
relish it more strongly than any other farm
stock. Care should be taken in feeding
grain not to feed too strongly at first, and
having commenced, not to intermit the
feed. Better begin low and increase the
feed Of grain as the winter progresses.

Mr.. Buford, who has just re-

that portion of the State during the
winter, and particularly in reference
to Wasco county. He says that
stock, as general thing, both cat
tie and sheep, has wintered uncom-
monty well, and are in excellent
condition now. Generally, he says,
losses have occurred through neg
lect Of owners; though some few
have met with losses which could
not be averted, from exposure and
disease. In the PalouSe country,
Mr. Buford says large numbers have.

REPUBLICAN, PRIMARlEs.--To-day
the Republicans Of Linn County Will
be called upon to meet at the usual
places Of voting in each precinct to
elect delegates to attend the Republic
can County convention, which meets
in this city on next SATURDAY., the 18th.
We urge upon Republicans generally
to attend the primaries and see that
representative men are placed in nom
ination as delegates to the County
Convention. The coming election is to
solve the problem Of the capacity of the
people of Oregon for self-goyernment
whether the people of Oregon will
continue to be led by the nose BY ring
politicians, who meet in Conventions
and adopt platforms" of gilt
tering generalities," which mean any
thing or nothing: or whether they
viii ''cut'' these rings, cliques and old
party hangers-on entirely, adopt a
platform that Is plain and strong, and
susceptible of no double construction,
placing upon it candidates who are
honest, capable, and in full and entire
sympathy with the people, and who
will boldly and fearlessly oppose any
and all schemes Of corruption, fraud
and wrong-doing, 10 matter iFom
whence they elnanate. Don't send
delegates who will go to- the Conven-
tiOn with q candidate whom they
are determined to fOist upon that Con-
yention, even should he prove distaste-
tlL to- the majority--men who are
ready to sacrifice every interest Of the
party to secure the end they have In
view. We have before Us the disastrous
Effects Of such policy. Send honest,
capable men, men Of sound Judgment
ID the County Convention, and the
state delegation whiChwill be selected

Under this heading q acOrrespOnd-

Under ibis beauiig ScofIeSpVhu'
ent Of the Oregoaim writes;
Several Of your correspondents IN
discussing tie extravaganza OF the
State Government, seem to place
all the responsibility upon she Leg
islature, and never mention the
State Executive in that connection.
They, from design, or otherwise, fail
to call public attention to the iact
that the Governor constitutes an
important part of the law-maklng
power of the State, and that no
Legislative act can become law
without the Governors signature
or approval, unless passed over his
veto by two-third's vote in both
branches Of the Legislature. They
also neglect to call attention to the
fact, that Governor Grover, not
only approved all the extravsgant
and corrupt jobbipg acts Of the last
Legislature that have been fastened
upon the people to cat up their sub
stance, but that in his message he
recommended some ofthe obnoxious
measures, and was seconded in his
Recommendations by Secretary
Chadwick in his biennial report.
The Governor recommended the
building OF a State Capitol, and, az
| understand, assisted in cunningly
drawing the bill so as to deceive
the Legislature into the belief that
it would cost only 100000; but
be took good care to appoint build
ing commissioners that would COM
mence a building that he himself
now admits will cost 100000, and
that competent architects declare
will cost ooer a million Of dollars.
It will also be remembered that the
Governor (backed by Secretary
Chadwick in his report) in his mes
sage strongly urged a law creating
a Board Of Equalization, and his
argument clearly showed his object
to be, not to equalize, but tomcreass
the taxes; he and Chadwick drew
the bill, he appointed the Board,
and "Holy Saint Patrick" what q
law and what q Board!
Many other acts Of the State Ex-
ecutiye Department are equally
wrong, bnt | will not lengthen this
article to mention them at this time.
The last Legislature was certainly
bad enough, but at the same time.
justice requires that the sins Of the
Governor and Secretary should not
be thrown upon it. And the pres
ent uprising of the people will not
accomplish their desired economy
and reduction OF taxes unless the
State Executive Department is thor
ougly changed and reformed as we'll
as the Legislature.

Saws the Walla Walla Union of

Says the Walls Walla Union Of
the 7th: Parties who have just
crossed the Blue Mountains say
that it is a very rough road to
travel. For some days the stages
were unable to cross at all, and the
mails consequently delayed. What
mail matter was got across had to
be tied up in a raw-hide, and then
hauled and dragged through the
snow, some Ot the time by a horse,
and when the snow was SO deep
that the horse could not do it three
men pulled it along. On one occar
sion they had to leave the sleigh
and attempted to break the road
by leading the stage horses, but in
the first two miles three of the
horses gave out, and had to be left.
The other three horses and the
driver and passengers managed to
wsllow through from four to eight
feet Of snow and finally arrived at
Cayuse. Mr.. Foster, at Meacham's
says that he has never in all that
time seen SO much snow in these
mountains. 1t will probably be
some time before the road is again
in good condition for travel, as the
snow falls and fills up there faster
than it can be cleaned out. For a
number of days they have had more
or less snow every day. This is
the first interruption Of mails over
that route this Winter, and is the
most serious and is likely to be the
most protraCted one that has Oc-
Cured for years.
