We have iron, limestone, gold, silver and 
copper. Agriculture has not made much 
progress as yet on account of the difficulty 
of clearing off the land. But grain, grass, 
hops, vegetables and fruits all yield abun¬ 
dantly; about four times as much per acre 
as in the East. Land, when it is improved, 
sells for about as much as it does in the 
East, from $50 to $75 per acre. 
The population of this Territory is nearly 
100,000. People crowd near the water’s 
edge on the Sound, and along the navigable 
rivers, and have not gone back into the 
woods much yet. 
The climate is mild and very uniform; 
Summers cool and delightful; WinteEs 
wet, warm, damp and disagreeable. To 
get here from New Jersey by Emigrant 
ticket would cost about $100; $65 for the 
car fare, and the rest for expenses. You 
might perhaps get here for $75. The best 
way is over the N. P. R. R., to Seattle, 
W. T. For further information address

“Johnnie, did you have the croup in your 
house last night?” “Dunno! What made 
you ax me? “Well, I saw a light in the 
house long after midnight.” “Ob! that's 
my sister! She has something down in the 
parlor awful late every night, but I don’t 
know whether it is the croup or not.” 
Some observant genius has calculated 
that in the United States there is one cow 
to every four people. It is believed the 
same ratio exists in fashionable society— 
there being a calf to every four young men. 
Before cutting a man’s head off in China, 
the authorities considerately make him 
drunk. Tire beauty of this system is that 
a man can get intoxicated without having 
a head on him the next morning. 
Said Brown, in a fit of spleen: “Charley 
is the biggest fool in the world.” “Mighty 
generous in you to say so,” was Fogg's 
quiet remark. 
“I’m going to board,''’ was what the log

NOTES AND GLEANINGS. 
Tbe lightning-rod men have a new dodge. 
They are as affable as ever, and if possible will 
deceive the very elect.” They egree io rod a 
building for a certain price, say $25, promising 
still further that if the bill exceeds that figure 
they will forfeit $5. This certainly looks fair 
enough, and they are allowed to proceed. When 
the rod is up they foot up the bill and find it 
amounts to $40, $50, or any other conveniently 
good-sized price. “But hold on,” says the pur¬ 
chaser, “you agreed to forfeit $5 if the bill was 
more than $25.” “Certainly,” says the man of 
electric parts, “and now you see I deduct $5 
from the $50, leaving you just $45 to pay.” And 
then the swindled party sees the game and 
planks down the cash, wondering why the fool- 
killer hasn’t been around before. 
Probably in no other department of Ag¬ 
riculture is the beneficial influence of science 
brought to bear more plaiuly than in entomology. 
The depredations cf insects have to agricul¬ 
turists an intensely pr etical bearing. Those 
who have made the subject of insect life a study 
are the ones who are most competent to advise 
regading the great problem of how best to baffle 
the attacks of these foes, which though individ¬ 
ually small, are collectively mighty enough to 
impose upon the farmers the greatest tax which 
is levied upon his labors. Many of our most 
noxious insects have parasitic enemies which 
do more to check their ravage than man in all 
bis greatness could d > without their aid. To 
foster and protect them while destroying the 
enemy is a problem which will require the 
closest study. We therefore warmly commend 
the few states like New York, Missouri and 
Illinois, which maintain at public expense the 
S ate Entomologist, and give the people the re¬ 
sults of their labors in their annual reports.
