frxasz-zzSASmuzAmazri-x -, tyf'LAaawi.t- I B- Sfr Jersey Cattle. Those who have taken the most pains to look up (he origin and history of the Jersey euttlo confess that they arc un able totracothat origin with uny eon widerablo degree of absolute certainty, tout they aro generally believed to have 1ecn brought to the Channel Islands from Normandy and Brittany with the early settlers. They may havo come from Trance, but if they have the same origin as the Trench cattle, their gen eral .characteristics havo been greatly changed since thir introduction into the Islands, now more than a thousand vears ago. The cattle of eastern Franco, .southern Germany and north ern Italy, at the present time, have a general similarity of appearance, and in some respects the distinguishing features very much resomble the main points of the .lemey cattle. The French tattle, however, nrc generally of solid color, but little white, and xotnevvhat larger than the Jerseys. They are not generally good milkers, but this can easily bo accounted for frjm the fact that tlio cows are almost universally broken and used in the yoke thus de veloping their physical strength at the expense of their milk giving qualities. Tho general similarity of color in the Prum-h cattle, and the Mlid colors more particularly, can Iks readily ac counted for in tho fiict that the French people havo graliilcd their tastes m this direction and paid but little atten tion to other characteristics, particu larly tlio milking qualities. The Island people, on the other hand, liave turned their attention to breed ing particularly for the dairy, and have Jolt color more in the background. Con sequently we Unci in the .Jersey cattle :i groat deal or white distributed pro miftCiiouMv ovei the hotly. The Island ers have never put their cow.j to hard labor, but on the contrary have eon ilned them in unall circumferences, very gent rallv tethcilng or confining lliein with nil-- ! .v and night. As a re.Milt tiuv tin 111..II, of Might foinis and gener.'Mv -li lit "hysicil develop ment, wliile tin ir ii..l.mg qualities are tlieir ehkfilKiriu-tei lilies. It is a well known lad, lccngni.cd by nil dairymen of experience, that a cow in the habit of traveling long distances to and fi;oni pasture will not give as much milk nor so rich milk as one living on the same food without tlio forced exertion of the other to obtain it. The natural conclu sion is that the increased respiration enuseil by the exerti-jii consumes the liydro-carbons of the food in tlio one, while tliete properties go to the secre tions of milk and cream or butter-niak- jn.r ni.itiii-i.iU lii t1w ntlior. l'nnn this tlieory, accepted as true, it is easy to account for the gieat diileronce in the dairy or butter-making qualities of the Jersey anil French ami Uerman cattle on the adjoining mainland, while tlieir outward points bear m? close n resem blance. If u cow will show a decided falling oil' in milk and butler when forced to physical exertion for a few days only; il this exertion be continued for months and years and centuries, as it lias been with tlio French cattle, is it not natural that the habit of few days .should beconio the fixed characteristic of the nice? On tho other hand, if a cow, by good feeding, kind treatment and little ex tortion, shall show an increase in milk and butter In a few days, s is not nat ural ihat by a continuance of good feed, kind treatment ttml indolent habits for months, years mid centuries, tlio milk giving anil biitter-niaking qualities of the race should become its chief char acteristics'.' Thus, undoubtedly, have been niado the 1'iench bieed of cows on tlio one hand ami the Jersey breed of cows on tho other. Hut our interest is with tlio Jersey cows with the French wo have nothing to do. We aro getting to bo largo importer and breeders of tho Jerseys, while tlio French have no qualities we wish to import them for, or to perpetuate by breeding. Tlio agriculture of the island of. Jersey is especially calculated to de velop just such a breed or race of euttlo lis wo.flml them. Bogs as Shoep Protectors. I used to breed cattle, but having a natural fondness for sheep, mid an op porUtnitv to purchase a coupleol'Hcotch eolley .sliqpheitl dogs lemnvlng my fears on iho .vnro of detruotitui by mongicl curs, which deters so many from keeping sheep, I concluded to try tho oxporin-ont which has resulted so Mitixfnctorlly 3n my stock of 1(10 ewes I have half a tfln.oti bolls, and in im-o of danger, tho nhoop all run tho dogs for protection. Tills familiarity between the dogs and nheup. with tlio .watchful enru exerched, is one of thoprettie.st sights in the world. Those faithful guardians of tho flock aro over on tho alert day and jilght. Tho rapid tinkling of tho bells nt once arou.-c:; the dogs; mid about three wooJcs.ngo, lu tho middle of tlio night, 1 heard tin unusual disturbance, among tho sheep, but was so confident that the dogs would be equal to the emergency, that I tlid not come down stairs. In the morning 1 had tho sat isfaction of seeing ono of tlio worthless mirs, which go prowling about nt night, lying stono dead along tho fence, with marks on him of a dc.-qR'mte tight. 1 should say, however, that 1 made one cross by putting my shepherd dog to a Newfoundland slut, mid kept tho choicest of the litter. lie has proved a due, large dog, about twice the weight of either of tho shepherds, ami though never interfering In what lie seems to consider their especial duty, Js always on hand ready for service. It is curious to observe how, when ftr.ingo dogs cross tho place, the two shepheul dogs will take ti survey, and Jlf liioytt'o much business (they an? themselves great fighters), by a kind of silent understanding and arrange ment tho three dogs go together; and although we in this country are over run with all kinds of dogs, there seems to be a general fear of my threo dogs, and we are seldom disturbed. I recom mend tlie purchase of one or two good shepherd dogs ns tlio very first step toward keeping sheep. Practical Far mer. A Few Things Settled. It is very dirTcult to ettle principles in agriculture, or rules for practice, for when farmers have pretty generally ngreed that certain methods aro the best, generally or always producing the l)est results, some one will start up and declare that ho always fails whenever lie pursues that course. It is very dif ficult to devise methods that will be ap plicable to all soils, climates and con ditions, and yet, there are some things so well settled by tho exieriences of our most intelligent and successful agriculturists, repeated through many years on different soils, and in diiler eut localities, thut we feel warranted in commending them to general prac tice. One of these tilings, which we con sider pretty well settled, is the policy of plowing lund but once for wheat. It used to be considered very important to plow summer-fallows two, three, and sometimes four times for wiieat. Now, the course pursued by our best farmers is to let the grass or clover get its growth, and thou turn it under, or eke mow it, and after tlio aftermatli lias made a gootl growth, turn that under. That grass or clover is left un disturbed by plow, or other implement until the wtieat is harvested, and it be comes advisable to plow the laud for another crop. Instead of trying to make the soil mellow to the full depth of tlio first plowing, many of our beat wheat bus bamlmin prefer to to have tlio under three or four inches beconio sonulwliat compacted, while aiming to make the upper threo or lour inches fine and mellow, borne argue that if tho siir laie is kept mellow, and it becomes compact underneath, tho wheat will foini its fall rools near the surface, and in tho heaving of tho upper crust by frost, and tho subsidence In thawing, tho roots will rise and fall with the crust, anil remain uninjured, whereas, if the bed is mellow tho entire depth, the roots will strike deeper in fall, and tho heavings of tlio surtace win ureK .the roots in twain. To mellow tho surface, tliey depend mainly upon tlio wheel cultivator, the harrow, and, in some cases, the gang plow. With tlieso implements, cover ing several timed as much surface as tlio plow, they can cultivate their fal lows until they aro clean and mellow. If they wisli to apply a dressing of barn -yard manure, they can do so when the soil is in good tilth, and partially mix the manure with the surface by means of tho harrow. If wiieat is sown on the stubble, in stead of fallow ground, tho stubble is cultivated quite shallow, immediately after harvest, to cover tlio scattering grain, and promote its germination, and then, when the grain lias come up and made a little growth, it is turned under to tv good depth, and tho surface cultivated afterward the same as suiii-.mor-fallow. We think that this cour.se is pretty well agreed upon among good farmers, and would only bo departed from in exceptional eases. Another principle which we consider settled is, tlio expediency of sowing timothy seed with the wiieat in the fall. Uy so doing you almost insure n catch of tho seed, ami such a growth of tho grass tho next summer ns to al most, smother anil crowd out weetls, whereas, if the seed is not sown until spring, there is about an even chance of its failing entirely, or if it succeeds, it lias a desperate contest with weeds for the possession of tlio soil. These two things wo may then consider set tled, thut lands should receive but one deep plowing for wiieat, und that tim othy seed should bo sown in the fill, anil that Is .enough for one day.

The object of the meeting is to confer with tlio Oiegon State Centennial Board in reference to necessary preparations for doing their part toward making tbe Centennial Exposition a grand success. Other States have formed tlieir W omnn's Centennial Hoard", anil are making prep arations, in which Oregon cannot nflord to nllow herself to be surpassed.

The Portland JJullrlin of a lato date contains this: People in other quarters of the country do not realize the tremendous magiiltudo of the Columbia, nor have they any tolerable idea of the vast terri tory whonco it gathers its mighty floods. Tn'its course from the Itoeky Mountains it takes in tho Spokano and Kootenai; thence flowing west and south, It re ceives the Okanngon, the Snake, Walla Walla, Wenaehee. Chelan, Mtthon, Ya kima, I'alouse, Clearwater, I'niatilla John Day, IWhuttP, the Willamette, and several smaller stream-. It drains a region embracing fourteen degrees of longitude a mighty empire, capable of subsisting L0,(MKI.0.)0 of people. Tho magnitude of the Columbia may be con ceived of when we reflect that, having received the Willamette in its embrace, the exultant lord of tho waters flows on with uiiruitted equanimity, unconscious of any additional burden, and apparently no larger than before.

Hand Torn Oit. On tho evening of Sept. 15lh, a man named Robert Newell, living near Ceiiterville, Washington eo., while engaged in workingabotita thresh ing machine, met with a shocking acci dent. Newell, at tlie time, wits engaged in feeding tlio threshing machine, when by some mishap he put bis lel'i baud in a little too far. The hand was caught in the cylinder, and beforo It could be with drawn was badly mangled. Only the thumb remained, all the lingers and most of -lie had being torn to shreds. Medical aid was summoned, and the in juries carefully dressed, but at last ac counts it was thought that amputation would be indispensable to save life and limb. Orcyonlan. The Henderson (Kentucky) Jlcportcr fays : A man nanifd I.ouis Burke, who lived at Uurkesville, in this county, a few daya ago Indulged lu very blasphem ous language beuutisd his crops had been destroyed by high water. Ho cursed Cfotl for having ids crops destroyed last year by heat anil drought, and for de stroying them this year by by Hood, and concluded his blasphemy of the Creator with tho expression, "Cod damn hlai!" His tongue elovo to the roof of his mouth, anil lie died the next night, nev er uttering another word. Go East. Tlio Orcyoiiian says that llev. Mr. l'orkhurst and Mr. Allen, who have been looking through Oregon for binds for a colony from Pennsylvania, left.for the Kuht overland last Monday, going south on tho west Mils of tho Wil lamette. They express themselves pleas ed with Oregon, ami expect to return with the colony by tho llrst of Novem ber, if their recommendations are adopt ed. Cnrmair professors say that tlio three highest colleges of France are very far from equalling tlio Universities of the Fatherland. In tho College do France, they assort that Professor Gul.ot taught English and German literature without understanding a word of tlio German language. "What for u professorship is that?" they ask. .Lord John Kus.-ell, in a second pam phlet on education, says: "I ronounco my opinion that an income tax should only be imposed when tlio Nation is at war.
