I «tnl«M It be In tlm distant and little s known valleys of Eastern Oregon and WMihtnfton Territory, are anch crops of wheat raised with snch small ex- (tern* and anch certainty of success :i£ y#ar after year. The grain Is sown | iate in the spring ss soon a« the hot rims of tlio northern latitudes have dried tha soaked lands, and grows with marvelous rapidity. By August it Is Ailly matnre'd and ready for reaping. All tlie farm work Is done by machin­ ery. The ploughman rldea upon a sul- Ity-plow; the grain la sown with a drill or a broadcaster; the reaping machines i| hind tha sheaves as they move over " f , :the ground, and the threshers do their work In tlie fields, driven by portable ^steam-engine* that bnrn straw for f«el.

JvlTlMwdbtrtMOf the bonsnta farms ^tmake a big show uport the wild, vacant prairie, but they are not much larger than thrifty Pennsylvania farmers, who till a hundred acres build to house their crops and stock, It Is within bounds to say that, talc-? l»g one year with another, a profit of ten dollars an acre Is made on the Bed Stiver wheat lauds after paying all ex­ panses of seed, cultivation and market- Tlie great meri t of this magni fl- cent gralnfleld does not wholly lie in «1t» richness, however.

There must be an in- ? •' etinctlve apprehension*that if a person aalaed with a fainting or other fit fall I Into the reoumbejjg. position death is . '| Mora Imminent. 1 must have driven a | mile to-day while a lady fainting was • held upright. J found her pulseless, *'*• white and apparently dying, and I be- Mlleve that If I had delayed ten minutes |!onger she would really have died. I *1 laid her bead down on a lower level 3 than her body, and Immediately color • • returned to her lips and cheeks, and aha became conscious. To the excited a group of friends I said: "Always re- J member this fact--namaly: Fainting | is caused by a want of blood in the brain. The heart ceases to act with sufficientforoa to send tha usual amount : of blood to the brain, and hence the - person loses consciousneRa because the 3function of the brain ceases. Restore |the blood to the brain and instantly •®the person reeorers, Now. though the "blood Is propelled to all parts of the *jhody by the aetion of the heart, yet it ?!• still under the influence of the laws of gravitation. In the erect position the blood ascends to tlie bead against gravitation, and the supply to the brain is diminished, as compared with the recumbent position, the heart'* pulsation being equal. J*, then, you place a person sitting whose lieart lias nearly ceased to beat, his brain will fail to receive blood, while If you lay him down, with the head lower than the heart, blood will run into the brain by the mere force of gravity ; and, in fainting, in sufficient quantity to re- atore consciousness. Indeed nature teaches ns how U> manage the fainting persons, for they always fall, and fre- C'quentlv are at once restored by tlie re­ cumbent position into which they are thrown."--Mcdical Journal.
