The COWlitZ Comfy.

At present there is considerable
talk about the Cowlitz prairie coun-
try; it is farming region. We learn
that the C"wlitz country is covered
with a dense underground of vine
maple and fem, and that it would
costin the neighborhood of 500 per
acre to clear il. Most of Our settlers
have had all the experience in that
line in the Willamette Valley that they
wish, and although the past years
harvest of Cowlitz have not been
uniform in quantities or qualities, yet
there are many advantages to be
urged in it's favor, one of which is
that the farming so far has been ex-
perimental, nearly every man having
his own theory and following it out
for his own ideas. Our land is
cleared which is greatly in its favor,
and the proper method of manipula-
ting the soil will III time be dis
covered. In the meanwhile, a crop
can be raised every year, more than
can be done in sections that bave to
be cleared. Mr.. Marble has been all
over the new section and knows
whereof he speaks. This idea of
emigrating to every new place in the
hopes of finding terrestrial paradise
is poor way to build up a country,
and sure was to impoverish it. Of
course the emigration is internal,
but we are DESTROYS of seeing our own
coantry benefited, and we advise all
those who are inclined to be dissatis-
fed with our section to inquire into
both sides of the matter and see if our
natural advantages do not outweigh
those offered by other places, al
though not apparent on the surface.

WIGGINs. the weather prophet gives
the following as his theory, which lie
promised to publish after the storm
had taken place: "The storm salts
fed me that the theory of opposite
tide, which I advanced in 1864, was
correct, namely that it is caused by a
Migratory motion of tie ocean from
east to west. If you will look at the
terrestrial globe and see the currents
passing out of the Gulf of Mexico
and tendency at cape St. Rouge to
glance northward, and tides moving
west, you will not wonder at my
alarm on observing the moons forces
have been increased to the greatest
possible extent, and that, too, when
she is clashing with other planets
south to north across the equator.
This was exactly the condition of
things during this storm and only
one element was lacking to make this
terrible affair for the people of
America; for mark it we'll, if the
moons conjunction with the sun had
taken place at l o'clock, meridian,
London, instead of A. NJ. London,
time, in other words, if the conjun-
ton had taken place over the Gulf of
Guina instead of China, the whole
American coast { granting her to
have been as she was, in perigee, }
would have been put under water,
and the time will come, though it
may be thousands of years yet, when
this will occur. And should Venus
and Mercury happen at this moment
to be at their inferior conjunction,
and Jupiter, Mars and Saturn q:
their superior conjunction, breakers
will roar in the streets of New York
city and Florida will be under water.
All the astronomers, from the astron-
omer royal down, will admit the
truth of what 1 say. I make this
explanation to show scientific men
the system of foretelling storms is
not only founded on science, but the
earth and heavenly bodies"

Nv i''tV"iiIS al l'Ac iioIIl tH'

about growing carp, that will be OF

charge and will help everybody to
understand why our FISH Commits

fasting from October TO April, and
When they do feed, they eat grass
and rye. IL Is Il wonderful fish
Put Your carp pom Is III order You

sending tor them al small cost.
There are ponds, lakes and still
streams where these fish will thrive
III abundance all around us. We
hope 20 see some of them stocked
with these fish before fall.
There are two carp ponds of small
dimensions hear Bakersfield, in each
of which the plant Was made last
Spring. The fish are doing we'll,
and there are to be seen great nuln-
bers of Young fish. 1t cannot be
long before this market will be well
supplied with this excellent fish. 1t
would he well for every farmer who
has half an acre of ground fitted for
a pond, with certain supply of
water to raise these tish Tor the house
alone. as they raise fowls.
/ The Foothills TIdinys tells Of Rev.
j. W. Brier, who is breeding carp
some three miles from Grass Valley.
He finds that 900 carp will live and
grow finely upon what one hog will
i'll both cases from birth to two years
old. At this age the carp would
weigh 1000 pounds, the average lot.
while the average porker will weigh
25O pounds. At present prices for
the two articles of food, the fish
would bring 81 900, the hog S25.
The South CoaSt, published at SIN
Luis Obispo, says that Mr.. McLel-
Ian, resident of that county, recent
ly caught 800 carp at one haul of u
seine, in small lake in that county
where, only a little over two years
ago, ten were planted. Owing to n
rent that was in the seine he thinks
he did not secure more than half that
were in the net. The average weight
Of the 300 was about one pound.
A recent foreign correspondent
says: Prince Christian assured
my father that at Schleswig- Holstein
the carp lakes are periodically formed
by sowing the bottoms with rye,
grass and some other cereal, by cut
ting it, and then afterwards turning
in the water and fish, to the manifest
advantage of the latter.
The good influence of this proce-
dure has been recognized by Gervase
Markham, WHO, when speaking un-
der the heading Glow to make
Carp Grow to an Extraordinary Big
ness 10 Pond" Perceiving
about the month Of April that your
pond begins to grow low in water,
then, with an iron rake, rake off the
sides of your pond where the water
is falling away, then SOW some hay
seed and rake it we'll. By these
means, at the latter end of the Sum-
mer there will be growth of grass,
which, when the Winter comes, the
pond being raised by rain to the top,
it will overflow all that grass. Then
the carp, having plenty of water to
carry them to the feed, will fill them
selves, and, in short time, become
fat as hogs that are fed for that pur-
pose"
The difference between the direc-
tons of the old sportsman and the
German plan, as the header will per-
ceive, is very slight.

yon, notably the kisbsr strain, is i'll

fine animals recommended for work
ing purposes generally. Adams,
RutledSe, and others have horses
used for stock purposes last season.
Work animals, horses to do the
farm work, should be stout and
strong, and not especially speedy;
good fast wal king being among their
best qualities for usefulness on the
farm. But good roadsters are in
demand and bring the highest prices;
saddle horses, good ones, cannot be
had in our markets at any price.
Notably is this true of ladies' an
finals. We saw one lady out riding
on young colt, evidently not we'll

halter. The time, care and patience
required to grow and train a colt are
we'll repaid, in the prices paid for
good animals. More horse flesh
will be called for in the future, and
our advice to farmers is, grow horses
and add to your farm all the animals
you can properly house in Winter
and can feed, for no event in the flu
ture is so sure as that good prices will
be readily paid for all well trained
animals placed upon our markets.

you will go in for a good garden, as
