OATS GROWING.

1t is believed that each year oat meal is
becoming more AID more in use as an arti-
Gle of food. In Europe Scotland has for
many years led in the production OF this
cereal AS TO quality. In consequence of this
that country has led all others in the manu-
nial Exhibition, spirited contest arose be-
tween Scotland and America as regards the
quality of their oat meal. Several of the
States, among them Oregon, place situat-
ed away out OF the world on the North Pa
citic Coast between the A2d and $40 north
latitude, came in as a competitor. Upon
the first examining contest all other of the
United States withdrew in favor OF Oregon
oats, leaving her to compete with the sup
posed invincible Scotland. After three tests,
to-wt: bread, muSh and analyzation, Ore
gon was pronounced the winner. and Nc
Learn Bros, millers in this city, CPortland),
now have the Centennial medals hanging
up in their Office. ..... ..-...
Heretofore the machinery for making oat
meal has been quite insufficient, and in con-
sequence of this our meal has not been such
as would command the best prices in foreign
markets. Now. however, some of our mill
ers have arranged to put in operation the
most approved machinery, and the same is
on the way here. Among the number is
Mr.. Milne, of Hlllsboro, himself Scotch
man and practical oat meal miller. Should
Mr. Milne succeed and we have no lear as
to that, an article of meal will be made
here that will supersede all other countries.
Why not? II our oats are Is per cent. bet
ter than those grown anywhere else, we
can, assuredly, make, with the best machin-
cry, superior article, and it will find sale.
If such encouragement is given this subject
as its Importance deserves, who knows but
what oats will in short time become our
main crop in place of wheat.-North Pacific

SCIENCE AND FARMING.

The greatest obstacle in the way of mans
come, has been ignorance. Placed here at
the beginning with no experience, and to-
tally without knowledge of the laws which
governed nature in the growth, pefection
and decay of vegetable and animal life-in
fact, totally ignorant of the laws which
governed his own existence, he was like a
man in the dark he CROPPED about, STUN
bling and falling many times before he
learned the roads that were safe and prac-
ticable. To-day, even with all our advance
ment, the "don't know of our farmers
alone, costs the country much more than
would support all the educational institu-
tions in existence. knowledge adds so
much to the power and efficiency of its pos
ignorance is always suspicious and jealous
of it, and OF its possessor; and for this rea-
son there is always a prejudice in the COM
mon mind against so-called science, and
especially is this the case among farmers.
Not very long since, to call a man a scien-
tific farmer, was at once to make him the
butt of all the jokes of the neighborhood,
and to set all eyes watching, in hopes he
might make some failure. This is grave
mistake, for there is no one more depend
ent tor success upon science and scientific
practices, than the tiller of the soil.
Nature has certain fixed and immutable
laws that regulate and control all the opera
tions, as we'll as the growth and develop
ment of the tiniest seed into the living
plant, and this to its full maturity and the
production again of its seed, as of the crea-
ton and movements of the planetary sys-
tenn. Would the farmer achieve the great
est success. he must work in unison with,

this crop.

The "high art'' is studied by men, women
and children the country over, during the
spring and summer. Each one has differ
ent method, and the results vary in success
according to the common sense that enters
into the business. One says, "duck her;"
another says, ''give her a throw" and a
third, site her to a stick near the barn walk
and scare her up every time you pass y"
This last plan caps the climax
Now let us say right here: never under
any consideration scare your fowls, even
should they be found in the flower bed, for
fowls and flowers should be kept separate
to begin with. and always treat your birds
gently. We never are cured of our odd
ways by any quick methods.
All that is needed is imprisonment in a
strange place. few days rest in this way
does the fowl good. and she will return to
her laying greatly benefited. Bear in
mind that this is an effort at reproduction,
and this very obstinacy marks tirst-class
sitter which you priced So highly early in
the season. Besides, the rough treatment
is liable to cause permanent injury, and the
disabling of even one choice fowl will make
difference in receipts, and should make a
difference in your feelings that outwelghs
all pecuniary considerations, if you are fit
to own domestic animal of any kind

tarized soda, or chlorate of ammonia, in
small doses, should be given in the drink

toms of cholera are unmistakable, the fol-

sometimes possible to save half the fowls

course in from twelve to thirty-six hours.

The increase in the acreage of spring
wheat is about 9 per cent. or 100000 acres
over last year. The largest advance is in
Dakota, amounting to some 400, 900 acres.
The average condition of the crop, the
country over, is 10l. In some of the more
Western States, farmers have partially given
up spring wheat growing, for corn and
other crops. But IN these States the largely
increased area brought under general cult
walton by new settlers, has more than made
up the decreased area in spring wheat on
the older farms.-Ed. Prairie Farmer.] Win
ter wheat holds its own at 90 per cent
against Is per cent in June last year, and
SO in 1882. The average condition of the
principle States, is: New York, 9S; Penn

Texas, SO: Kentucky, So; Ohio, 81; Michi-
gan, 81; Indiana, 81; Illinois, 76; Missouri,

per cent. with an average condition of SO
against So last year and 10l in 1882. The
crop promises best in the States north of
the 10th parallel, all the Western States
coming up to the standard. The general
condition of rye has advanced per cent,
now standing at 81. Barley has fallen of
per cent. in condition, now being 9s against
81 last June, and 81 the same month in 1882.
1t is 81 in New York, so in Pennsylvania,

Iowa, 100 in Nebraska, and 80 in California.
These States usually produce four-tifths of
