RAISE YOUR OWN VEGETABLES.
"A California exchange has the
following remarks under this head,
which are rs applicable to Oregon
40 to that State: This is one Of the
easiest countries in the word to
raise vegetables in, and yet we ven
ture to say that very few States can
be found where there are 50 few
vegetable gardens among the farm
ers. Indeed, AS general thing the
farmers in the wheat districts never
think of trying to make a vegetable
garden. They pass away their
time in the fall, wiuter aud sprllg
when they might by little labor
prepare piece OF ground near the
house and plant it with vegetables,
in such a manner as to furnish an
abundance Of all kinds for family,
use the largest portion of the year,
and then patronize the vegetable
peddler to the amount Of hundreds
and in some instances thousands Of
OF dollars each year, all the time
complaining that they can make no
money farming, for the reason that
the freight men aud middle men
take it all away from them. When
spoken to about it they will excuse
themselves by saying their soil is
not good Tor gardening; that it
bakes on the surface, or that it dries
out too early in the season, or per-
haps, what is more generally the
truth, that they have no taste tor
such little work. We are aware
that a large portion Of soil on the
open plains Of this'State is not the
best adapted to the production of
vegetables, bnt we are also aware
that a little work aud a little mix
ture OF material will make it 50. If
there be too much clay in it, which
is generally the case, few loads of
sand, sediment and manure will
suffice to remedy the objection and
render it the best gardening land.
If irrigation be required to keep up
the moisture and mature the vege-
tables, there is but few places that
q well and cheap windmill would
not supply all that would be neces-
sary for an acre or two of land. The
great trouble with our farmers in
connection with this matter is that
they have not in earnest made the
effort. They have come to the easy
conclusion that gardening will not
pay and dismissed the subject.
Those that have experimental with
vegetables have generally made the
same mistake that they have in
sowing grain. They have not prop,
erly prepared and puIverised the
soil and then have sown too late
in the season. The proper time to
begin a garden, especially on the
upland in this State, is in the tall,
when the ground is warm ard the
rains are also warm. This is tile
course that is pursued BY the pro.
tessional gardeners, who bring their
garden truck and sell it all winter
End indeed all seasons Of the year.

LoNDon, August S.-1hc Americans are
playing cricket with the Richmond Eleven
to-day. The Enylishmen closed the first in
ming with score of 1O4.
The Times publishes the text of long dis
patch from the Duke de Cases, categorically
denying the charges of connivance with the
Carlists. The Duke says that Lizzargos
escape from arrest white passing from Bay
onne to Perpiquan, was due to a misunder-
standing of the local authorities. The Carlist
officers seen in uniform at Bayonne and else
where in the French territory, had passports
signed by the Spanish authorities. The Car
lists obtained their supplies of arms and other
war material through the Spaniards watching
the coast The Duke, in conclusion, assures
Spain that the instructions to the projects of
the Southern Department to be vigilan: have
been explicitly renewed, and the Govern
ment will see that the inferior authorities
scrupulously respect them.
