fesl too tired and too old
Long ramhle in tue woods u take,
To seek the eowslips early gold
And Selrch for violets in the brake
Nor can I, as u eel ID, bend,
Ny little bed OF howels to tend
Where grew NV scented pinks, to-day
The creeping witch-glasa has its way.
But when my door open wide
To breathe the warm, sweet air of Spring,
The fragrance comes in like tide:
Great purple plumes before mo swing;
For looking in close by the door,
The lilac blossoms as of yore;
The earliest flower my childhood knew
Is to the gray, worn woman trues
Dear common tree that needs no care,
Whose roet in any soil will live.
How many dreary spet grows fair
With the Spring charm thy clusters give
The narrow court yard in the town
Knows thy sweet fragrance and the brown
Low hillside farmhouse hides its caves
Beneath the gray green OF thy leaves.
Loosed by the south winds gentle touch,
In perfumed showers thy blossoms fall
Thou asketh little, giveth much:
Thy lavish bloom is free to all;
And even shut in, shut ont,
From all the sunny world about,
Find the first Il over my ehildood knew
Il to the gray, worn woman true.

A LARGE FARM.

The wheat ranch of DIR. J. IL. Glenn,
in Colusa county, Cal, is perhaps tho
largest and best known in the State.
The Chicago Tribune says that being
asked why he raised nothiag but wheat,
Di. Glenn replied at is the only crop
that will bear transportation, it is thu
only cnop not perishable. | must not
raise ON my land that which ruins me,
but what is profitable, DIR. Glenn's
ranch compl ises about 10000 acres of
land, and the number of acres in wheat
each year ranges between 10000 aud
$4,000. Reckoning All average of
from twenty to twenty-five bushels to
the acre, the aggregate crop each year
amounts to some hing more than :
000, 900 bushels. This enormous amount
of grain requires vast appliances tor
planting and bringing it to market
and the capital invested in machiaery
alone sums up considerable fortune
During the harvest time there are em
ployed on the entire ranch some 5OO
men. DIR. Glenn is general-in-chief oi
his forcs, and tie ranch Is divided fo'
convenience Of operations, into nine
smaller ranchei with houses,
barn, blacksmith shop, and other nee
sssary buildings. In charge OF these
are seven forsmen; under whom arr
sixteen blacksmiths, fourteen carpen
ters, six engineers, six machinists, hv'
commissaries, and numerous cocks anC
servants. The common laborers arr
aived into gangs. and detailed whel
needed. There sre $50 gang plows; 6t
headers, to which belongs $50 wagons
6 cleaners, 10 harrows, Is seedsrs,
threshers, engines. Besides, ther'
are many smaller instruments aud vehi
cles, which cannot be classified. Co
operating with their human brethren
in the great labor arc 1000 working
horses and mules, with a kinskip o
| 900 brood mares and younger stoeI
which have not yet achieved the dignit,
of labor. There are - dwelling houses
| &c barns, Il blacksmith shops, an'
other structures sufficient to swell th'
aggregate to 100. The machinery ceul'
not be replaced for Sl25,0OO, tn
work teams are worth $4,000 tn

Editor Itemi@er The success of
certain firms in Portland the past sea-
son in chartering all the ships coming
to Portland has caused these firms to
venture largely for this season, and to
attenpt to take up all ships coming
this way that they may be able to adj
vance and eentrOl the freight rate, and
thereby depreSs the price of wheat the
coming harvest from 20 to 80 cents per
bushel below its actual worth with .
fair charter rate, and below the cost of
production. But the number OF ships
coming to this coast begins TO alarm
these firms, and they see that having
taken 50 many ships and still haviag 50
many more to take up, they are likely
to be caught with more tonnage in port
than they have wheat with which to
lead them. Bhese firms now desire to
get immediate control of all the wheat
Ia the valley, and they are now Ill
reetly and through their agents tryin.
to rent and get control of the ware
houses along the river and railroad
lines. Then As soon as farmers deliver
their wheat into the warehouse. it will
will be sent forward to load ships and
get them out of the way. Now, one
thing the farmers should do, if tLrv
mean to defend and protect their inter
ests at all they should call meetings
in every county in the valley and or
gaaizs and investigate the condition of
warehouses and know that when their
wheat is stored it will not he shipped
off 70 Portland and on board ship he
fore tue farmer has sold it. II is a mat
ter Of surprise to know the number of
warehouses controlled by these Portland
hrms last year, and this year they
mean to get almost the entire control
OF the wheat as soon as it Is hauled by
tOilers from the harvest field and for
the reason that their undertaking is
this yerr so much geater, and because
their requirements of gain to load
Ih>lr many ships will be So largely in
ceeased over last year Farmers this
matter re-ts with you. BY your or
ganizatien aud cooperation you can aid
- u 50 cents per hushel TO the selling
price Vt your wheat. Without such
cooperation you will again get price
for your wheat that scarcely meets the
cost Of production. T. this end Il
meeting OF all Parties Interested
Is called for S4tur.IAy, the l4lh of July
at ] o'clock =. m., 10 meet At Dixie

EENEElrs OF IMMIGRATION.

1t is probable that three-quarters
of q million immigrants will seek the
shores of America this year. Some
people are prone to worry over the
supposed danger of SO large an IN
crease of the foreign element i'll our
midst, but there does not seem to be
any good reason for such fearss
There is as yet, and will be for a
long time, room for all who may
come. 4 Chicago contemporary, tax
ing a broad view of the subject,
figures out that the capital value of
these new comers to the country. be-
ing the cost of rearing them from
birth to maturity, is not less than
S640, 900 900, and that this is q
clear gift from other countries to
this; that they will bring with them
an aggregate of SIS, 900 900 in ac-
tual money, which otherwise would
not be here; that they must eat, and
will furnish a new annual market to
our farmers, amounting to $50, 900,
900; that they will assume part ot
the tax paying burden; that they will
be purchasers of all sorts of articles,
thus largely aiding the industries;
that they become producers and de
Yelopers; that they strengthen the
war power and influence of the ma
tion; that they contribute to the
general stock of knowledge about
agriculture, trades, arts and sciences;
that they help fill up our territories
and make new states, and III other
ways are of great benefit to the eoun-
try. 1t is unfortunate for Oregon
that we are not attracting larger
number of them.-AstOridn

Most farmers. probably, believe that
the great bulk Of constituents at their
crops an. derived from the sill. This
IL very great mistake. Take. for ia
stance, a hay or pasture field The car
bon, hydrogen and oxygen on the plants
are deriVed FROM tue atmosphere, thu
nitrogen aud mineral matter from the
soil. This would be equivalent to 81
per cent of dry hay being derived fro,n
the atmosphere and only 8 per cent
lk0sn- he SOIL From this it may be
seen that the farmer, who has all these
ingredients locked up IN his manu- res
which he might apply to bis lands for
plant food, by letting it lie scattered
until decompos and wasted, send off
90 per cent Of it to feed the plants Of
ether lands, erhaps of farms thon-
sand miles away.

Only one night remains of Mr.. G. b.
Bishops engagement at the Opera House, and
there will be no other opportunity in several
months to enjoy his remarkable delineatIon Of the
Widow Bodoh. This strongly drawn character
sketch is ono of the most vigorous performances
known to the present American stage. In com.
edy, farce, and burlesque Mr.. Bishop kes for
many years held eminent rank, and as the WIDOW
BedOu his abundant humor loses none of its rich,
generous, and hearty nature, This creation is en-
tirey Mr.. Bishops and, as compared with his rem
dition other delineations OF the character are as
chromos merely. Especially adapted to compau-
ionship and contrast with Mr. Bishop are the other
characters In the play. Around the formidable
Widow the other characters revolve in meek and
self.deprecating submission. The young ladies
are very pretty, sing and dance dellciously. Young
Mr.. Bishop gives evidence Of descent from the
sterling gentleman and actor who is his father,
and the company generally is admirably adapted
TO its work, Washington will always greet Mr..
Bishop with welcome and appreciation.
