Army Approprlntlon Hill.
Wawiikoton, April 12. At ft well atlende d
caucus o Republican senators thin nfter
noon, Ihcra was An Interchange ol viows con
cerning tho course to bo pursued by the mi
nority in regard to tho army appropriation
Mil. No formal action wan taken; but it
was ifrrccd that OTcry possiblo effort should
lie mailo to defeat tbo passage of the bill in
its present shape, for tbo reason mainly that
the enactment of tho sixth section would
prevent nso of a posse comitatns on election
days, and for tho execution of civil process
of any and all descriptions issued by United
Btatcs authority. Hovcral other provisions
of tho bill woro also considered very objee
tionablo, and In need of essential amend
ment. Among them, tho clauscx which
prohibit appointments and promotions in
tho army until othorwiso provided by lnw,
whllo at tho uamo timo tho bill holds out
inducements for tho creation of additional
vacancies by providing that all ofllccrs hero
after retired by reason of wounds xhall bo
roll red upon tho highest ranks respectfully
held by them in tho regular or Tolnntecr
ncrvlco beforo retirement. A number of sen.
tors expressed their belief that tho purposo
of thoso provisions is to pavo tho way for
tho appointment Into tbo army of friends of
the dominant party In Congress, nlthough
no propositions wcro formally adopted. Sev
eral amendments to tho sixth section, of
which notlco has been given in tho Hcnate,
wcro spoken of with general favor, especially
'those submitted by Illalno nnd l'addock.
1'rom tho tenor of theso remarks, It seems
probublo that many speeches V.-IU bo mado
upon tho army bill.

Letter from Minnesota.)
Editor Willamette Farmer:
I have been silting by thp fire this morning
reading tho Faiujkii of Feb. 28. It seems
curious to rood of crops "looking well," etc.
It is raining hero this morning, the first rain
since November last, and not snow enough to
mako any sledding. Somo cold weather, hut
on tho wkolo rothcr a pleasant winter. Tlio
wheeling has been excellent all winter, and
the settlers havo mado good uso of it in haul
ing wood, etc. Wood his to he hauled 15
miles from where I reside, and mony haul it
twice as far. Hut tho ncwly-coniplttnl rail
road into this part of tho Htato Is a great
help. 0 lad to know that the Northern Pa
cific Hailread is to extend its road tills toason,
When Minnesota and Oregon can clasp iron
hands over tho ltockles, I predict tlio pcoplo
ot tlio respective SUies will como to know
each other better than they do now. I think
thcro will bo no step-sister relation between
the sister States. They will havo to many
interests in common that I trust their rep
resentatives in tho councils of tho nation will
ever bo found shoulder to shoulder, working
together for the best interests of tho two
States.
Hut to quit speculation and como to matters
on hand. It has been cold for tho last ten
dayr. Previous to that timo considcrablo
wheat baffl been put in the ground. I have
never known farmers towing wheat witli so
littlo faith as now. They nut with such a
bitter disappointment lost season, added to
the grasshopper years previous, that the ques
tion universally asked among farmers it,
"What ncxtl"
I am surprised at tlio prices ot produco and
grain quoted in tho Fahmkii, especially oats,
mill feed nnd hay. Hero, although wo must
feed all our stock on an avcrago 200 days each
year, it is rare that good hay brings over $4
or $5 per ton delivered in tho small towmt.
Bran has lieen as low as $3 per ton at tho
mills this winter, 1 bought n carload of bran
and shorts mixed at $5 tier ton, nnd butter,
checsu nud cg.i bringing twico as much iu
your market as here, I do not understand.
Wo will tread on jour toct, you Wcbfoot
farmers, if you do uot look out, when that
railroad is done. As it is, much of McLcod
County butter goes to tlio Black Hills, and
somo to Fort Benton and other points on tho
Uiier Missouri. A Hutchinson firm thipiicd
hit week to Bismarck 3,500 dozen eggt,
I havo liccn ft practical dairyman for many
years, and 1 have had it on my mind to writo
an article on chccie-making iu n small way,
for your columns. I havo not a word to say
to your professionals, or makers of "Oregon
prime," but it strikes mo that among your
readers thcro arc many that aro owners ot ft
cow or more, that do not havo a tatto of that
excellent and nutritious article ot diet, cheese,
that tho remits of my experience, in plain
language, would cnablo them to havo on their
tables every day in tho year, if thoy chose.

lVc shall look for Mr. McKwen's com
munication about checto with interest, and
hopohc won't neglect writing it. Ed. Faumkk

Wo bchovo all writers concur in tho opinion
that this, breed is American and ot Now Kng
land origin,
Their make-up is a matter of supposition,
but Mr. Fclch, in his "Amateurs' Manual,"
says that they aro "cross-bred iu foundation
blood, with topcrotscsof Domiuiquo tosccuro
tho color," andoro produced hy "Black Spanish
on Whito Cochiu, Black Spanish on Gray
Dorking, Whito Birmingham on Black Java,
all top-trots with Dominiquo on llulT Cochin
hens."
Mr. Todd says: "Tins is a crosj originally
liotwccu tho DominiqiiLd and Ulack Javas or
Lochinv, and then bred for uniformity and
color in points, which has to far been accom
pliehid that thoy now breed true, nnd aro
now admitted into tho '.Standard, '"niid quitu
popular, llicir color aro Dominique, of
uliatlcs varying from light to dark, combs
ainglc, ami legs clean and yellow, or ilmky
yellow. They aro ft symmetrical, rquaru
built, heavy bodied, spluidid looking fowl,
oven rivalling tho Asiatics in nice. Thu
longer they aro kept, tho hotter they aro
liked, nud, of oil other breeds, Plymouth
llocls nro tho fowl for tho farmer, nnd for
guiond iutiKM0j. Thoy combino moro iu
themselves than any other variety. Aro so
hardy and healthy that they teem proof
against tho diseases t.iat annually carry off so
many fiuo birds. Tho thick aro lively and
strong, and mature very rapidly, Incoming,
anil very early fit for market. Their Ilcsh,
in quality, is fiuo grained, teudcr and juicy,
and, m dressed poultry, thoy aro plump, full
breasted, and, with fiuo yellow skin nud leg,
look well and sell well iii the market. They
can bo depended on for egg all tho jear
round, remarkable fino for tho table, good
sitter and mothers, easily kept in confine
ment and jet good forager when allowed to
roam; what moro can bo oaked! Tho chicks
tlirivo from tho timo they arc hatched until
maturity, a qualification that wo havo never
seen iu any other breed."
From our experienco with this breed wo
aro satisfied that tho larger number of tho
prominent breeders havo different mothods of
originating and iwrfecting itj but withal,
wo do not hesitato iu claiming that beforo
Ung they will bo tho breed selected a best
adapted to Oregon, and most profitablo for
tho farmer, cottager, mechanic, and iu fact
no ono who breeds fowl for pleasure or profit
will Ik) without them
In tho fallof 1S77 I received from Now
York my first start iu this variety, and from
Jan. 8th to May Mil 1 received US eggs from
twopullct. I soli several dozen and raised
seventy lino chickj. To hatch Plymouth
Bock eggs with good suocc thoy should bo
i dampened a littlo each day with luko warm
water ii:ht or ten days before hatching, as it
giro strength to tho chicks and also softens
thu shell, which is very bard and thick.
