A Tour amongr tho Cattle Men of Oregon.
K. Kaiimku: 1 liavo had nn extended tour
around our valloy purohalnK beef cattle,
and I find hoiiio UiIiikh wrong, butaRalnl
find upon tho other hand many thlngH right,
and as I havo always taken a deep Interest
In tho wolfaro of our Stato and tried to do my
part In brining up our products of cured
moats and Improving hor herds. I havo no
doubt your many roadotn will hoar with me
whon I point out their dofectH and toll them
thoyarogoluK wtoiik. Tho first evil I will
point out Is nlinoht an ontlro abandoning cf
goodhoKs. I did not soo ouo herd properly
taken caro of and depreciation in stork It Is
much inoro than I anticipated. Unless the
faniinr.s tnko more Intcrost we shall havo to
bo led from tho Kast. No.xt week I will glvo
sotno facts about wolght of )1ks and bobt
breeds and largo hos In answer to Mr.
Noyor's enquiry. I hnvo waited hoping
Homo ono would answer It. In my noxt I
will glvo tho wol(ht of my spring plgH, Ilork
shlresnud coiiunoti, inmongo, anil dlU'eront
weights.
I will lay beforo your roadors hoiiio Itnpor
taui facts concerning cattlo. Tho tlrst Jot I
looked at was hi I'olk county upon tho farm
of Mr. John Wiles. .".:, head of bountiful
young steers, ! and r, yuan old. Tlioso Mr.
Wiles fed hay onco a day and thoy run upon
pasture and are good hoof In any uiarket.
Next was Mr. Charles Lodgsden's, thoy wero
mostly lour years old this coining spring,
and run in (ho mountains until January and
camo out very tat. Next was Oroeu II.
Smith's, l.'KI head us beautiful a lotofcattle
and as hit as tho average of stall-lod cuttle
mid In Chicago market. 1 saw them tlio
hitter part of January and they had nothing
but grass. Mr. John Foster, In llentoti Co.,
had an oxtra lot of lieavy cattlo, nveraglng
'.Kill upon hay and pastuio, but Mr. l'ostor
is ii model limner and nover fulls in having
a good lot of fat cattlo In tho spring, and
upon hay and gross. I crossed tho river at
llarrlsburg and found upon tho farm of Mr.
ThomiiH Wilson, Milne as Hue fat throo yours
old HteorH, I this spring, as I wMi lo put In
market, thoy hud nothing hut pasttiro, and
Irom Mr. Wlgger hoiiio very hit cows, and
HteorH three years old tho coining spring.
Thoy had a straw stack to run to. 1 got it
car load Irom K. It, Wlllougliby , that run
In Iho iiiDiiiilnins, buck of his faun, which
wouronow killing, und they aro as lat uh
any ouo wants hoof; their pasture range win
several hundred foot ubovo tho valley. No.U
lot I purchased Irom Mr. Jasper Wllklns,
sou of Hon. M. Wllklns, a beautiful lot of
slo'irn th i oo past, a cross between his lKivou
and Durham; thou had u good pasture and
access to Htmw put up In sheds, well cmed
mid kept dry, mid ho arranged they could
pull It out, but tho cattlo did not Maud under
shelter. Those Moors brought Mr. Wllklns
twenly-llvo dollars per head, when 1 do
not think thoy would havo brought last
summer over eighteen and well hold ut that.
1 havo always thought the Devon too small
hutacross may be an lulvanlunu. I tbluk
them'tho nicest lot of butcher's caUlo I havo
set n in Iho State. 1 also wish lo mention a
lot 1 purchased from II. Miller, brought In
from Uchoin, which had hay lo run to and
good pasiure, which I am snUshcd lully held
their own with the exception of two which
might of been hurt In driving. I have been
ot opinion that cattlo brought from oast of
tho mountains could not bo held up, but this
lot lully convinces mo thoy can, I want no
belter hoof than thone cultlo and am fully
convinced by what I havo seen this spring
wo can havo good beef by reserving a pas
ture and letting cattlo run to hay , and thoio
living a distance from inatkut can make
money in that that way.
I called upon Mr. lleo. Mllllgan, living
near whom the military road enters tho
iiuuiiiIuIuh; he ii leediug 100 good cattlo and
1ms a grand slock and stalls foriueliouo with
diop gates at tho end of tho stall alter a fctocr
enters. I like the plan but am fearful tho
sialls are too narrow ami the cattlo too much
crampodiip lo do well. My experience Is,
unless cahfH are used to being stabled (hey
will no: Lear close eontlnemcnt, and cattlo
raised east in gittlng med to close confine
ineiit ono mouth's teed Is lost. 1 like Mr,
Young'H plan and wish lio would glvo us h a
experience thiough the Fahmiui. Mr. Mil
llgau has tho ambition and go ahead, and I
havo no doubt wMl inuko it a succors. I f wo
had a lew inoro such men ns Messrs, M Ml
gun and Young, Oiegou would bud and
1 blossom ! i ii leso.
1 aNo found a lot led by Mr. Walker
Young, near Ktigene, stall fed, and 1 teko
pleasure lu say lug (hoy are handled tho boat
ofauy 1 have louiid lu my tuoIs, and aro
thobcxtlot 1 Imwibtou In the Slate with tho
exception ot a lot fed by tuyseli, sold lu
Yloloila, luoraglng one thousand pounds,
borne diesslug loiirleen hundred, but I hail
(hoiuhaiilngeoi Mr. Youug lu blood, I did
not excel hUn lu feeding, 1 think that can
not bo done, but Mr. Young Is uot alone; the
duy I was tht re Mr Youi and his on woie
crippled, not able lo v.ok,lnt Mm. Young
went to the barn cut feed and fed tlHi-.ocaillo.
Mr. IMl.or 1 wish we had nmte such women.
Karmeisot Oiegon.at my oarHiotcouvuii
ieuce 1 will glvo you some facts now in my
poelon coneoriilug khe shliuiieiK of mints

uwh, large dealers in MiciUold lu moan, and
1 got Irom (hem last week papers ami letters
which lully prove to mo wo ate to haven

Seven hundred Ions of dressed b.xif arrived

have been traveling utvirly all tho time since
the Hot of Jauiury, and the kiudneAS I ro
eelved from all proved to mo I was not for
