A GOOD SHOWING.

Prof: E. R. Lake. of the Oregon Agricul.
tural College, in the "kmerican Garden,"
says: Fruit tree planting in the William
ette Valley, Oregon, has Become ''craze." D."
a conservative estimate for total plant in
the eight Willamette Valley counties is
25O 600 trees for orchard fruits; while the
planting of berries and other small fruits is
almost beyond estimate for the purpose of
the few notes. This unprecedented plant
ing is due to sudden outburst of latent
horticultural energy A few wide-awake
men made venture a few years since in
the direction of fruit culture; they cultIvat-
ed. To-day our people are going wild, ap:
parentlv, over the results of said venture:
Prices have been exceptionally good this
year. Markets are growing rapidly. In
the item Of cherries alone we had call
for twice as much as we could put upon the
market Some astonishing figures are given
from actnal experience this season, and
good authorities claim they will afford a
fair basis for calculation for several years to
come. From different growers, more or
less special, and in good locations, we take
the following figures: Strawberries, 500
per acre; cherries, $3.50; raspberries and
black berries, $500 to $500; currants and
gooseberries, $3.50 to $500; pears, $500;
plums and prunes, $3.50 to S400; apples,
5000 to $3.50; peaches, $500 to $40. OF
course these figures are from one third to
one-half higher than the average grower
would get; but even then an ample margin
is left In the case of prunes, $3.50 to $400
has this year been an average price for large
growers, and soIfEe of our best Producers
have made even more. Remember these
results are given from land rated consider
able under equally good land in the east;
land can be had for $50 and $40 per acre
that will with our modern western culture
give the above returns, and these without a
''liberal" application of commercial, or con-
| centrated fertilizers. Yet, while the enor
nous paintings of this year are truly the
results of f'craze." there can be no doubt
that it will be In the end "a most proftabl,
Venture for those who can AMI will give il
their earnest attention. Many will fall b.

Mr.. EDITOR: At the risk of indorsing pro

favor Of new laxative principle. But first,
1ow I came to discover it. A patient asked
about taking Joys Vegetable sersararilla. As
ssfsaperilias usually contain mercury or iodides
I objected and asked for the formula, which
finding purely vegetable, and SO mild as to be 70
my mind almost inert,7I consented. Imagine
my establishment when perfect laxative action
was reported. # has two great points Firss
being purely vegetable, it is (unlike mercury
not cumulative IN the system, being easily car
ried off by the digestive processes; and sefond,
it is effective with a less quantity of the cathae

EXPERIMENTS.

There is no doubt but that great advan.
tage would result in agriculture if larger
class of intelligent farmers would undertake
to pursue a systematic course of expert
ments in botE managing the farm products
and also feeding and caring for the stock.
Many farmers fail to realize the fact that
experiment has brought out all great inven-
tions; that nearly if not quite all of the
improvements made in farm machinery and
methods of stock have been more or less
the result of experiments. While much
has been learned there is certainly wide
field yet for Improvement, and with every
farmer trying some experiment consider.
able knowledge can be secured that will be
of benefit not only to himself but to his CO.
laborers. It is fact that there are few
farmers that can tell the actual cost of a
bushel of wheat, corn or oats, what it costs
to put upon the market 250-pound hog, a
l5OO.pound steer, a three-year-old draft
horse, or pound of wool. Very few agree
as to the best plan of sowing oats, planting
corn, cultivating and harvesting the various
crops, or feeding and fattening any class o
stock. Many Of these things careful exper
iments could determine, at least in local.
ties. While difference in the conditions
would make considerable difference ir
soEfe localities, yet it is the best plan if ii
each of even few localities it.could be def
nitely determined, much more satisfactory
results could be secured.
In many cases there is no question bu
that the most important point to determin'
is not so much how to increase tie crops al
it is to lessen the cost Of what is raised
If this is to be done by Increasing the yield
| how can it be done at the lowest cost?
Careful Ell perimgnts would readily deter
mine these facts if carried on two or NOR
years by several farmers in each neighbor
hood. Not only as regards the methods O
managing the farm crops, but also of feed
ing, breeding and caring for the stock, ca
experiments be f1ade valuable.
Which is the lest breed for the purpos
