Observations About Oregon.

Mr. c. r. Thomas, formerly of Bloomington,
has lived the past three years in Oregon. Last
week he came back to Grant County, and
many friends hope he will remain here. Mr.
Thomas tells many good things OF Oregon and
few not so good. Oregon does not have the
cold of Wisconsin winters but the winters
there are disagreably wet and to some persons
unhealthy. They had bad effect upon the
health of Mrs. Thomas. In Oregon the farm
ers sow wheat at any time between the lst OF
October and the / st of May and they grow 4
splendid article Mr.. Thomas has placed up
on our table samples OF Chilli Club and Little
Club In the head it looks very different
from wheat grown here. Thirty~hve to gu
bushels per acre are grown, though OCCASION
ally there is almost total failure. The rust IS
the destroyer. Harvest begins about the LIST
of August Wheat sometimes stands ripe for
two months. 1t win not shell off unless there
comes a storm, which seldom happens. Mr..
Thomas also leaves with us sample OF Bel
GUM Oats. In Oregon the yield of these Oats
is 40 bushels per acre and they weigh 81 lbs
to the bushel. 1t is easier TO live in Oregon
than here, and the effect is to make men indo-
lent. 1t is never so cold there that men will
freeze to death, and they therefore can avoid
the great labor of preparing for cold winter.
Nature provides so much that men need
never starve there. Mans necessities are
clothing to keep him warm and food to keep
him from starving. If he has not ambition 20
to look beyond his necessities he will become
more and more degenerate. These remarks
viii lead the reader to his own conclusions as
to the differences time may beget between
! the people of Wisconsin and those of Oregon.

The world loves ease. To read novels is lease;
to gather knowledge from history or SCIENCE is
labor. The former is play, the latter is work.
They have the same effect upon man relatively
that physical play and work have. Constant
play renders him useless. Constant intellect,
ual play renders him an intellectual imbccile
and, like the blind man, he can't see It, "The
false views of life which are given in novels
fill young heads with impossible schemes and
impractcable desires" They unfit the mind
for better things. Even the so-called "harm-
less society novel acts in negative way, by
relaxing the intellectual muscles and keeping
them relaxed, until in most cases they become
too enervated to grasp any serious subject"

Boschee's German Syrup to let its wonderful
qualities be known to their friends in curing
consumption, severe coughs, Group, Asthma,
Pneumonia, and in fact all throat and lung
diseases. No person can use it without inn
mediate relief. Three doses will relieve
any case, and we consider it the duty OF all
Druggists to recommend it to the poor dying
consump'ive, at least to try one hottie, as
40, 900 dozen bottles were sold last year,
and no one case where it failed was reported,
