He will succeed if be sticks close to his farm, as the mechanic does to bis shop, and not expect to work three or four months and then take his ease the rest of the year. « P oultry —Fowls will continue to lay well the second year but it will not be found as profitable to feed them through their moulting season as it would be to keep them “laying their best” for one year and then kill them. Another thing: if you only keep them one year, you will have ro ”tough fowls” to haunt your dreams. This is one point to be remembered; it takes a certain amount of food to keep the animal alive, and after that all he food eaten must go either to make eggs, build the body or to produce fat. It is nonsense to talk of pullets being “too fat to lay.*' With old hens it may be possible, but I have never had this happen to any of mine, nor have I known of any one to have that a fowl so i flitted, although a friend of mine keeps a hopper of corn always before bis fowls, and from October till March, in addition to thia, gives night and morning a feed of boiled corn meal, and yet bin fowls lay extremely well. T he S carcity of Q uinces .—Witbin a few years psst the quince trees have bean attacked by a worm ju*t under the surface of the ground, somewhat similar in appearance and in its effects to the peach worm, and not having been properly attended to and the worms removed, the trees have gener­ ally died, and the fruits accordingly disappeared from all our markets. The quince can be just as successfully grown as the peaob, if a little care is taken to head off its principal enemy, the worm at the root, which requires but little time and trouble each spring and fall in removing the earth from around the f-tem of the tree, probe for the grub in his bole in the bark with a stiff wire; and filling up around the tree with wood ashes or slaked lime. The cheap gas lime, from the pas works, is a very effectual remedy for worms in peach trees, and it would no doubt answer the same purpose around the quince. New Breeds of Cattle. iFrcm the SLCramento Record Union.] New breeds of cattle are not always improvements on the old. But if the Aberdeen Polled Cattle, the HereforIs, and the Guernseys ¡are not improve ments, they are certainly winning a prominent place among the established favorite breed*. The Aberdeen Polled Cattle recently carried off the great sweepstakeB prizi of $500 at the Pari» Exposition, as the “best animal for all purposes” in the foreign country, in­ cluding Shorthorns, Herefores, Da vons, Sussex. Aberdeen», Angus and Galloways, Suffolk*, West Highland era. Jerseys, Aklerneys. Ayrshires, Cerrys, Leghorns, Dutch and others. A prize of equal value was offered for the best group in the entire show of beef producing animals, which was awarded to the fame breed. And these were won in competition wi'h nearly two tbonsand animals from all parts of cattle-breeding Europe. Th- record that this breed has been recent­ ly making not only at Paris, but gener­ ally, bids fair to place it in the front ranks. A nearly related breed, the Norfolk Polled, was described in the August and September numbers of the American Agriculturist. The Polled Suffolk, Galloway, Anges or Aberdeen and Norfolk, are all closely allied breads, possessing many points in com­ mon. Tbe Herefords is a breed little known in this country, but of late it has been winuiDg a leading position as furnishing beef animals very often superior to tbe Shorthorns, as indicated by reporta of tbe English exhibition for a year past. Guernseys aje gain jug prominence for the dairy, for siz<*, •nd for the amount and high color of their better, even standing ahead of tbe Jerseys or Alderneys. V e wel­ come these new breeds, and trust that they may be appreciated according to their merit. i I Goose Lake Valley. HOTELS [From the Si^te Lio* ITeard.j ASHLAND HOUSE. This valley is a about 75 miles long bv fift»en or twenty in average width. The 42'1 parallel of north latitude, eepsrating the Stabs of Oregon and California, crosses this valley leaving about one-third of it in the former and two thirds in the latter State. Tt has an area of about 1,400 square miles and at present an estimated population of near 1,500. and is bounded east by the Sierra Nevada mountains, which rise abruptly from the valley to a height of some six or eight tbonsand feet above the sea level. These moun­ tain« sre bold, reeky, pieoipit^i*. «nd a’most barren of timber, contrasting strongly with the dark h»-avy forest* of pine, fir. and cedar, which cover the mountains to the west from base to summit. There are, however, some very fine, though small bodies of tim­ ber in the canyoDs and gorges of this rango, while ite sides are covered with a growth of the ever present and nu­ tritious bunch grass, affording oceans of excellent Summer range for stock, and it is not unusual to see herds Led up the rugged sides until they are lost from view in the clouds that bang about the brow of these mighty piles of earth and stone. Ten year* ngo, this valley was scarcely known to the white*. Those who bad visited it, be)iev»d it tobe too cold to be of utility, except, perhaps, as a’summer range for stock. We are told that, the first white settkr of the valley who stopped wi»h anv in tent to remain, was J. P. Roes E-q., who located on the south side of Su­ gar-Loaf Mountain in the Spring of 1867. Digging a hole in the side of the hill as a protection against storms, and the Indians, who were then hoe­ tile, Mr. Roe* commenced in earnest the task of building him a home. The red men thinking him crazy allowed him to work without molesation and Mr. Ross is still a resident of the val­ ley, and proud of hit title as pioneer. In the fall of 1868, A. Snider Esq., now a resident of Oakland, Cal. .though well know in this rtgioD, erected the first house, established the first store, and built tLe first saw mill of Goose Lake valley. Mr. Snider called the place thus located “Willow Ranch.” His sagacity foresaw the importance of tLe position and a bright future for Goose Lake valley not far distant. Though his bnsineas was extensive, being engaged in merchandise at Fort Warner and elsewhere, he determined to secure this new and promising site which he left under the management of C. U. Snider Esq., Lis nephew. As the country became more thickly peo­ pled Messrs. A. & C. U Snider exten­ ded their business until now Willow Ranch contains an extensive mercban- tile establishment, a livery and feed stable, a large hotel now building, which Mr. Snider expects to complete within a few weeks. Arrangements are being made to establish a harness shop.wa-on shop and blacksmith shop also at Willow Ranch before Spring. F. M Gd.ett Las also a raloon here. But the latest and mod important fro tore of the place is Snider it Russell’s new flouring mill. This mill has been built during the past Summer, under the supervision of John M. Russell Erq. ¡ Jno.
