portion of the working time is lost in patch
ING the thing. The tarm-nen work from
sunrise to sunset, the actual day being about
the same as ours here in Philadelphia, though
the climate is much warmer than ours. For
all this long service the compensation is
twenty-five cents per day, and at harvest
time they get q half bushel Of wheat extra.
They grind their own corn, mixing wheat
and maize together, making a sort Of black
bread, which is eaten with onions or cactus
berries. and this forms almost their sole food.
We talk about our taxes, our corruptions,
our robberies by men in public positions,
who in some respects instead Of our servants
become our masters. We are bad enough
in these respects, we may be even worse
than we are thought to be, but we are a long
way from being in a condition like this.
We take up this Palestine case because it
represents a very different phase of civiliZa-
ton to that often referred to. We look at
Italy, Spain, Ireland, and similar places
which are under a severe theocracy, or else
to those countries where drunkenness, MUIR
der, robbery, Or similar crimes prevail, and
look to the existence Of these facts as the
cause of the want of progress; but here is
people who are free from these particular
vices, and who are not so despotically ruled
as regards mental choice, and who, in so far
as their material prosperity is concerned, are
just as bad as they.
The American farmer has his troubles
He does well when he tries by every means
in his power to make these troubles less
but with all the worst of these he is a thou
sand times better off than the farmers o.
other countries, whose system of govern
ment is so very much inferior to his own.-

The most pungent Of all the family is the
garlic. 1t seems as if the essence of whole
bushel Of onions was concentrated in one of
its little bulbs. The root or bulb is compos-
ed OF dozen small bulbs called ''cloves."
Garlic is so much used in the south of Eu-
rope, that the American traveller at first gets
the idea that everything he eats and drinks
has been favored with it. The little cloves
are planted in the spring six or eight inches
apart, and in August the tips will die, when
the bulbs are ready to gather. They grow

THE ONION FAMILY.

There are good many members OF that
respectable family so celebrated forfragrance
we mean the onion tribe. Some of them,
of course, are well known and appreciated,
as they are very likely to be for they have
apeculiar way of attracting attention, though
they may be too modest to speak for them
selves. Others are not so popular, though
perhaps not unworthy Of a passing notice.
The leek in many countries is quite extern
sively grown. In America it is found in the
markets of our large cities, and in some par
ticular sections, but generally in the country
is almost unknown. The leel is very handy,
bearing good deal Of freezing when in the
ground, without any injury, and therefore
in climates not too severe is allowed to re-
maid in the ground during winter, to be
gathered as needed. This, of course, makes
it very desirable in many localities. In very
cold climates it is taken up before winter and
preserved in earth, about like celery, though
not needing so much protection. The leek
forms no bulb, and the thick stem, which is
the part used, must be blanched by earthing

ten boiled and served as asparagus. Culture
as for common onions.
Chives is small and not very important
member of the onion tribe, quite hardy ev-
erywhere, and will grow for years from the
same bulbs and in the same spot. In old
times it was the custom to make little bor-
der of chives among the herbs The leaves
are as slender as fine as a knitting needle,
and appear in punches early in the spring,
and are cut and used in the raw state, and
may be shorn several times during the spring,

but larger and better, the roots being quite
hardy, they are kept in the ground during
winter, and in the spring one bulb will sep.
arate into half-a-dozen or more. They are
then taken up, diyided, and bought and sole

the middle Of summer, and can then be takel
up to be planted in the autumn, or retained

AMERICAN FARMING.

We have noted frequently, as the occasion
arose, how far superior the American farmer
is in every respect over the European; and
how much of this superiority is due to the
maintenance of purely American Institutions.
The subject presses itself continually on our
attention, in connection With events as they
almost daily rise. Here is a letter before us
from Palestine, giving graphic account Of
the agriculture of that region. The people
themselves, setting aside their peculiar views
and practices, are by no means q bad set.
They are remarkably sober; indeed, they
affect a contempt for European civilization,
on account of the prevailing drinking habits
of those countries. They are honest to a
remarkable degree. and then their industry,
in their own peculiar way, is far superior to
that Of Italy, Spain, or some other south
European peoples. And then land is COM
paraJiyely cheap. In many places it requires
irrigation; but on the whole the natural ad-
vantages are really superior to much that
we have in our own western country, While
the moral element in many respects is equal
to what we often find among the pioneers of
the far west.
But there is nothing to stimulate ambition
nothing to make a man look higher. He is
born a laborer, he is a laborer, he must die
a laborer. Every man must know his place,
apd he must keep it. There can be but little
invention in society like this. The rulers
are satisfied, the rich are satisfied; that is
they may grrmble and fret, but they have a
sort OF an idea that the sorrows and suffer
ings are all right in the sense that what is to
be will be, and so they must endure without
effort for any better things 1t may be that
the merchants are satisfied, though this
would be a remarkable phenomenon but
these are by no means a numerous class, and
are confined chiefly to those who send the
farm products to England and bring back
for the richer ones those goods which En-
gland loves so well to sell, but which these
Palestine people might just as well make fol
themselves if their civilization would lei
them understand it,
So we find farming pretty much as it wa:
in Noah's days. Wheat is mostly brough
in on the back Of camels, and trodden ou
by the feet of mules, though here and there
two and three horse threshers have been in
troduced from England. Maize is cut OF
below the ears, and the grain tramped ou
in the same way. The best farms now hav
at least the modern fan for blowing out tn
chatf. The granary is simply a hole dug il
the ground, and lined With chaff to keep on
the dirt. The English plows are yet unpoI
ular. They cut forked stick. On one en-
of the fork they put a broad iron shoe, lik
cultivator-tooth, and a pair of oxen ar
hitched to the end Of the other fork, and tn
plowman takes hold of the end beyond whel
q the forks unite. The clumsy thing weigh

OREGON, CALIFORNIA AND AUSTRALIAN
WHEAT

.. WHEAT.
Two copies of the Mark Lane Erpress,
lately received, as also circulars of grain
dealers in London, quote Oregon wheat as
bringing higher price in the English mar
ket than California club. We feel confident
that some misunderstanding exists in the
continual quotation, in direct dispatches, of
California club at an advance over Oregon
wheat. These copies of the Mark Lane Ec-
press bear date in December, at the very time
when these quotations have been received.
The direct dispatches are evidently correct
in other particulars, and we do not believe
that any intentional error is made in what
we object to. The news received is impor-
tant, and we are glad to credit the Oreqonian
with the effort to furnish prompt and reia-
bic intelligence Of the markets, and we refer
it to its files Of the Marx Lane Erness for
proof that cur objections are we'll taken.
In these late reports only one variety OF
wheat in the whole range of the market is
quoted as worth more than Oregon wheat,
and that's acertain variety produced in Aus
tralia. We are happy to be able to state
that the Salem FIGURING Mills Company,
Francisco agent, has purchased one hundred
bushels of this particular variety of Austria
liam wheat, and that it is now on the way
up here. The intentiOni is to have this wheat
well sowed by some good farmer who will
give it the best possible show, and so test its
adaptability to our soil and climate The
peculiar excellence that secures it a better
price is its strength-the flour made from it
being stronger and more lively. If it sue
ceeds here, we can raise and import seed and
cultivate it here in any desired quantity.
MEASURING HAY.-Please state by what
rule it is customary to calculate the quantity
of hay (timothy, or other kind) and straw
in any given space? j. G. w. The weight
of hay cannot be determined with accuracy
by measuring; but some experience or q
few trials will enable the owner to ascertain
approximately without great deviation
Fine, flexible hay will pack closer than
coarse stiff hay; and that which is cut early
: will become more solid than dry, stiff, late
cut hay. The degree Of dryness, when the
hay is drawn in, also affects the result. The
compactness will, Of course, vary with the
: height of the NOW or stack. AS general

One of the prominent politicians of this city,
of the Democratic persuasion, recently made
an assertion like this That there was no in
stance that went to show that the Democratic
party ever upheld man after his rascality be-
came known. In answer to which, it was
stated that g Boss Tweed was elected to the
New York State Senate, after his crime was
published in the newspapers of the country.
1t seems to be even worse than this. He was
nominated and elected. But the following
cut from the N. Y. Times will speak for it.

From these official figures 1t will be seen
that in 1868 Tilden and Tweed managed to
make the city return a total Of Los, s04 votes,
which it never did before or since, and which
it never had. In 1869 it fell to lie, 1903, the
Democratic vote falling off 36,040, which is
conclusive proof of these "cunning and
shameless frauds which Mr. Marble says hs
saw in 1868. In the succeeding year of 1870
the total was 121, O50, and in the great Reform
struggle Of 1871 it rose to 1877, 457, but it
should be remembered that the Anti Tilden
vote increased over 20, 900. These are general
facts, which carry their lesson on their face,
and here is a matter of detail which has, even
more significance ln 1871, after The Times
had fully exposed the Ring robberies, the
Tammany leaders nominated Tweed for re-
election as State Senator in the Fourth dis
triet comprising the lower part Of the city
The Republicans made no nomination, but
the few who voted went for o. Donevan Rsssa,
the Anti Tammany candidate. The Demo-
cratic State ticket was headed by Diedrcl

Admitting that no Republicans voted for
Rosa, we find that out of every one hun
dred Democrats voting, seyenty-three cast
their ballots for the great thief, well knowing
at the time he was thief. Tweed never
dared show his face at Albany, and never even
his constituents. And these are the knaves
