Acottm porary very properly urges upon its readers that every farmer, gardentr, fruit grower or stock-raiser gains some neVideas 'of 'value for publication by practical observation in every day bus inesp. One moment, with a pencil and paper, onld pi ee his ftfcoughtB in tjtemal and maternal aid ea, and fch fa?- shape that would prove of untold value to the reader of this journal and the agricultural pres generally, for we learn of each otoer and publish only practical facta gathered from the expe- rience of the farmers, gardeners, fruit- growers and stock-raisers of the world, If you wish to have a thorough practi- cal journal (as we believe you all do) adapted to the center of this Union, a journal which shall be a text-book and guide to every readej, you should each ana an contnoutc to its columns and feel a personal interest in makiog its contents truthful and practical. The Sheep Owner's Opportunity. The paramount consideration, with the average nock owner, is to realize the greatest profit from his investment of capital and subsequent care and at- teotioo. To the question, how if this most certainly to be secured? The Journal naa otten answered, ana now Till.. ml reitterates net the best stock within your reach; so breed and feed these as os to secure the highest development create and preserve for your flock and its production such a reputation as will insure a ready market at good relative prices; try very lew experiments; sray on solid ground, even thongh the uash- es of profit promised by a deviation, or ite shadow of temporary disaippoiot- ment, may invite you to walk in new fields. No matter what the blood, or low nearly penect tne Hnimai may oe, intelligence, liberality, and kindness on the part of tne fhepherd will make tlieu. hetter; and with such improve- orent will come additional prout-proht through increased weight of fleece; ,ront tnrou.n a ne.vior percentage or ambs, and their speedy arid more per- feet development; profit by reason of securing oursido prices aud ready sale for whatever i placed on the mafket because of its superior quality; and finally, the advantage of freedom for the the raony hardships and annoy- ances inseparable from attendance up. on unthiifty or otherwise undesirable animals. Though every flock owner cannot have the best sh.ep, there is encourage- ment in the tact that no one is so cir- cumstanced that he cannot have the best sheep, there is encouragement in the fact that no one is circumstanced that ho cannot with certainty and rap idity advance the excellence of such as ha may possess. Animals of great ex- cellence, representing all varieties of all breed, can be had at prices within the reach of every breeder. Feed is plenty, labor is cheap, information up- on any point of douDt can be had for the asking, prices an, good, the demand active-in short, the opportunity and incentive for a general advance all along the line of those engaged io sheep hus- bandry are at hand, and thosj who do fflonths' ile assur(1 us that erytnmg not intend to avail themselves thereof which would dd to tbe growth and ex had better stand aside, for there are Pans'011 of Eastern Oregon, should be unmistakable signs of a forward move tuent. Live-Stock Journal. Selection of the Stallion. We will peraume that the breeder has dofiuafely decided in his own mind what breed or etiain or family he pro poses to select from. He ought th6n ry V find a colt that has the largest possible ancestral line uniformly dis tinguished for tho quality upon which he bases his Bilr.it on, aid ihn he should look carefully to see that no constitutional infirmities have been in herited. If there is blindness not the result of accidental injury in the near ancestry, although the colt himself may be apparently free from any defect in his organs of vision, it is a point against him. And so of any other con stitut.onal defect, weakness or infirm ity, whether of form, structure or'Jdig position. Infirmities of temper are es pecially liable to be transmitted. It is very desirable that the breeder should kuow, to the minutes detail, the char acter of the acnes try on both the pa ther bact they dan be shown to ba fretf from constitutional defect3 of any1' kind; the better. The colt- may.be free from any serious defects; but i they are known to have existed in the near ancestry, there is alwsya more of lesr danger that ho will transmit thtm tor his progeny. Every observant horse- man of expi rience cn call to minct numerous instances confirming thV truth of this position. The writer once owned a grey stallion, ihat wot nni Ktr o Oot!; f o mare. "When placed in the brteding itaJ, it wns found that he, quite often' got dun colts, even out of grey mares. Investigation into the anoestry of this horse dereloned the fact that his see ood dam wa3 a dun mar9.

This gentleman, who is virtunllyjat the head of the carrying trade of the entire Northwest, returned o Portland on Saturday last, with his party of Eastern Tourists Io course of conversation with him, he informed us that trial lines fur a branch railroad to Antelope valley, to command the trade Grant county and Ochoco, will be in progress early next Spring. This road, when completed, will tend to make our city a railroad center. Air. Villiard also w of tlie Pinion tha the people are in need of oheaper fuel, and he proposes tor- remedv the Preseot defeci bJ line o steam colliers between the two oities of Seattle and Portland. This would, in his opinion, be ihe means of delivering Seatlle COftl hfcre on a fair Profit at nine dollars per ton, which is cheaper than nr-wood at four dollars per cord. Thia would be th mettnfl of grently reduciDS an itera of household expense which is Tel7 Duratnsome aunng me wiar encouraged and fostered by the new corporation. Inland Empire. "William ABtor has sold all his race horses and retired from the turf, having o w of thjJ atfnoyances and expenses inseparable from such amuse ments. A man must have a natuifrl love of horses to adhere long to equine amusements. Astor took it up as an imitation of Belmont and Bonner. In their case, however, there is a passion for animals which explains the lavish expenditure. Bonner's outlay for oafre for 100 fine horses is not less than thirty thousand dollars per year. When you add to this the interest on the estimat ed value of tha animals (8300,000) and you have an expense cf 8830 per week. In all the history of horsemanship, thore ha been no puch enthusiasm as that of Bonner. For thiaty years he has been buying all the' fastest Ameri- ean hones, and he st 11 is, like Oliver" Twist, ooly asking for mora. .
