The John Day Sentinei truthfully says:
Two acres Of good lana thoroughly under
drained, either naturally or artiiciallv,
ought to be set apart on every farm for the
special purpose Of supplying the home table
in fruits, and If judiciouslY managed that
area will produce enough Of each variety of
the large and small fruits, to supply an or
dinary family the year round. They should
not be confined to the apple, pear and plum
and an occasional cherry, az 10 too often the
case. Not less than one quarter Of an acre
should be devoted TO grapes and strawber.
ries, and peaches should not be neglected.

time only twenty-one sheriffs, fifteen coun-
~ clerks and foui district attorneys have
made returns for July. Even the January
reports are not yet all in. The county clerk
'f our own county is among the dilatory
ones; bis last Jannary's statement still be.
