Foreign Immigrants for August numbered
12,SSl-an increase of more than 5000 over
the arrivals in August, 1878. This shove
that foreigners are turning TO America ~
an asylum from the oppression which they
are laboring under in the older Governments
Of the world, and the coming year is likely
TO zee greater influx Of immigrants to our
chores than any previous year in our history.

SHEEP HusBANDRY.

From our exchanges along the line Of the
railroad We learn that many farmers are en-
gsging in sheep husbandry. The frequent
reference to sheep focks reminds US that the
business is one looked upon with favor.
The sheep are all reported in excellent con-
ditiop. The attention Of farmers is drawn
to this industry, and we believe sheep rais-
ing will yet become an important branch OF
the stock business Of Western Ksnsas. This
section Of country lie acknowledged to be the
finest in the west for sheep raising. 1t has
In. great measure proved to be 60. The
profit in sheep culture is recognized fact.
The American Agriculturist refers to West
err Kansas as desirable section in which
to engage in sheep raising. The adaptabili-
" of this range becoming noted for the prof.
liable rearing Of sheep will soon attract cap
ital and sheep growers in the East. We
are already aware of this fact, for Eastern
men have taken in this field with view Of
making investments in sheep.
Men with small means can engage in this
business. An ordinary farm will provide
sufficient grass and hay for feeding. The
growth Of new grasses, which now promise
80 well, will afford ample pasturage. There
is no reason why men with small means
should not engage in this business. The
profits are acknowledged to be a hundred
fold. Wool is always in demand and COM
mands good price. Sheep sell readily at
go,d figures. The supply of wool in the
United States is not equal to the demand
The expense or care of sheep is small,
though they may require constant care and
attention. The benefits of sheep raising are
expressed in few words. Small capital,
little care or expense. and immense profits
An outlay Of few dollars will provide win
ter shelter. care being used to select a place
with some natural advantages.
The farmer who engages in sheep raising
can supplement his business with few cat
tie and hcgs. Nothing pays 60 well SIS di-
versifed industry on the farm. We are
pleased to note the favorable view taken of
stock raising on the farm. and We trust the
time is not far distant when every section Of
land will contain one or more focks Of sheep

Col Bob Ingersoll says some mighty good
things occasionally, as per example !:
"Women are more faithful than men-ten
times Is faithful ss men. never saw .
man pursue his wife into the very ditch and
dust of degradation and take her in his
arms. never saw a man etsnd at the
shore where she had been morally wrecked,
waiting for the waves to bring back even
her corpse to his arms; but I have seen
woma', with her white arms, lilo man from
the mire Of degradation, snd hold HIM to
her bosom as though be were an angel"

One Of the proprietors Of large landed es
ta;es in England and Ireland admits that it
is impossible Tor English farmers to compete
with American wheat, and advises them to
devote their attention 10 raising cattle.
Judging from the success of American beef,
butter and cheese in the English market
there will. however, be little 10 hope for in
that direction.

OREGoN AND cALIroRNIA.

It will be seen by the proceedings OF
the Democratic State Convention OF
California, published elsewhere, that
Jas. O'Afeara, formerly of much Ore
gon newspaper noteriety, was chairman
of the committee on platform. He was
a delegate from San Francisco, and Of
course was prominent in everything
pertaining to the work of the conven-
ton. Il seems the Californians have
to call on oregonians, after all, to run
their public affairs. Governor Woods

the Democratic end in gallant style.
