Myiitli: Ciikkk, .Juno 2."), 18S0. Kditor Willamette Farmer i SIbco my last letter from Roschtirg I havo wandered around considerably. In my de scription 1 left ofT 'at Roseburg. Incomiilcte as it may lmvo liccn, I do not think tli.it I could too' minutely dcscrilie tills largo nndier-tile-county. DOCIILAH COUNT V Contains a much area ns tlio tlirco smallest .State in the Union combined. Its resources nro vast and varied, and I shall endeavor to take up each under its proper heading. Tlio topography of tlio country,! decidedly hilly, in fact in certain locations mountainous. Iu describing Douglas county I must commenco by speaking of tlio principal streams which water it. Tlio Umpipta river Is tlio great water-con nso which drains this section. It is' a rapid tmbiilcut ttnam, winds in, and out with many crooks and turns, and finally emp ties Into tlio Pacific ocean. Inuumcrablo small streams put in and swell, it as it near tlio oc6au. Along its banks is a beautiful valley which rightly receives tint naiuo of tlio valley of tlio Umpipia. Settlements almund on every side, and wealthy, wvllto-do farmers aro not an unfrcqurnt occurrence llctwccn Canyon vllloand Roseburg immense fields of heading grain greets tlio eye. The receipts of wheat at Roseburg, per last year's report was 200,000 bushels, and could easily bo increased could licttcr transportation facilities bo had. Al ready several grain separators and cleaners aro being placed in warehouses at Roseburg. Tlio wool product of Douglas county ranks high, as wo know that oirqi'A wool, Receives tlio highest prices and pruison. Then comes tlio cattle and stock, each of tlicso help to swell tlio rovenuo ot imrwmntjmiTm last, but by no means least, .comes tlio mining interests. Tlio hills near tlio river aro gener ally low and easily ascended, and aro covired with a heavy growth of livo oak timber, un derneath whoso shade tlio cattlo, ahocp, horses and sw ino rest from tlio noon-day shade, un derneath whoso boughs grow luxuriantly the grosses peculiar to this country, making this ono of the grandest stock countries in the world. A littlo fir and cedar aro found on the higher hills as they approach tlio moun tains. Of courso there is tlio usual under brush, but this is only found as wo proceed further into tlio mountains. Wild gaino also aliounds. Up the numerous creeks aro leau tiful spots, fast clearing U'foro the axe-man and the sturdy pioneer. It was my good for tuno the other day to take a trip to Canyon villo and thenco to Cow creek. Cow creek is first crossed teu miles licyond Canyonvillo and empties into tlio Umpqua below that place, after having made a circuit of over 100 miles through tlio mountains. It is unite a largo stream, and like the Umpqua, has claimed many a strong man as its victim. I went to COW CHEEK VALUSV, Where I. found an old settlement, (1 believe it was first settled about 182.1). On my May I met Mr. Mcnnet, who saw that I was w ell cared for at aliout dinner time. Mr. D. Ray mond lives just joining Mr. M,, and has un doubtedly tholest practically tilled farm inthe valley. I was shown a cow which gave sixty pounds of milk a day, and from which the owner has made two and a half pounds of but ter per day. The animal not only seems to be a good milker but the three calves alio lias produced are well bred and can scarcely bo told apart, save by the difference in their ages and the beauty is, they are all heifers. He also lias an excellent band of goats. Mr. Nicho las, a near neighbor, has also a good farm, and is classed as one of tl substantial men of the valley. He has some exceedingly rich copper mines, as well as silver. This in no means embraces all tho fanns in Cow Creek Valley, but only such as I came in contact with and acknowledge favors from. While In the valley I encountered my first rattlesnake; he was a monster and had eight rattles. The fellow had actually swallowed a full grown pine squirrel. I took no hand in the killing, preferring safe distance. Considerable min ing was and is still being done in this valley with paying results. A BsUKINO ORANGE TBEE. Fifteen years ago Mr. J. F. Gazzly, of Can. yonville, bought a lot of oranges in Aocapulco, one of which he brought here with him, where he gave it to a Mrs. Thorne, who planted the seeds and now has a tree from it fifteen years old, two inches in diameter and 'eight feet high. Last Monday Mr. Gazxley wm invited in to partake of an orange, which waa on of three which had ripened, for the first time, this year. The tree U now well died with blossoms and more buds are appa rent The lady has been aaaidaoos in her at tention to its cere. The tree is in a Large box. moated on wheels and is rolled in and ont w tlio weather suits. This is probably tho only bearing ornngo trcoln Oregon. THE COM INO STATE Milt. Many questions bavo been asked mo concern ing tho coming Stato Fair. Many aro coming with considerable (ino stock from tlio vicinity of Jacksonville and Lako county and nro on tho way to attend. I passed tlio other day n lino trotting stallion Stato Fair-ward. Mr. Fendcl Sutherlin iu a conversation with mo said that this year ho should t.iko n lot of his sheep for exhibition. All tilings tend to war rant mo M saying thht the southern counties will lend valuable aid iu spelling our natural exhibits at this coming Fair. W. .1 C, i ' i OHIO COItltEBPONDEHCE. I.EO.wutmnuiui, Ohio, Juno 10, 18S0. Kilitor Willamette Fanncrt At this eventful period of our country's hUtloiy, wlicu cyclones stalk aWad'ovcr tho laud, and terror and destruction mark their pathway, when modern prophets prophesy pirtcntlous events in tlio, near future, when political campflrcs nro about to lio kindled nil over tho land mid tlio neighing of tho gic.it political war-horses will Ihj heard in the val leys, whilo they smell tho battlo afar oil". I cinbraco this opportunity to have another friendly talk with my fiiciuls over tlio Rock ies. I was pleated iu seeing tho old familial' heading of tho Wn.wsiETTr. Faioieu spring phoenix like fiom its ashes, mid appear again in its old position on what I regard as tho best paper on tlio l'aeiflo Coast, f congratu late you on your grit, your enterprise and mi conquerable determination. I had a notion to say something in this cor respondence aliout excursions. First let mo say their is no better door through which rough men and boys can pass to mount tho i-Ai-lj to.niin and dmrf'!""!! than. hvM.liflnn rates and shrewdly advertised excursions; by tlicso means, and toliacco and whisky, tho bottom dollar of many n man and boy is reached, and chagrin and grief are tho com pensation which many a w ifo and mother ro iciv o for their anxieties during tho absence of such i datives. On an excursion hicli on tho 8th iiut., ran from Sidney, Ohio, to tho Stato Prison at Columbus, with n restaurant car attached, such a stato of drtmkoncss existed that revolvers wcro repeatedly nourished under each others noses, villainous oaths were at all times heard and seen, boys not twclvo years old (but away from their parents) tighter than a government musket, and smok ing cigars. Iiouically let mo say "Vivo la Rcpuhlique;" my littlo Influence shall unceas ingly lo spent in lighting this species of inva sion upon morals and pocket-books, this ne farious wholesale swindle, this fast growing evil. By tho way let mo say, that at Rush sylvauia Ohio, I met Mr. Jolm P. Mercer, Attorney at law, Dayton, Ohio, the real gentleman, the accomplished lawyer, tho courteous companion and conversationalist, brother to Mercer, the able but unfortunate editor of your city, and for the sake of all con cerned, I deplore such results, at all times. My littlo daughter, Ilcrtie, whoso attachment to your piper has always been of a high onlcr, writes mo that she has sent her einceio but (of course) child-like communication to your valuable paper. The crops look well in Ohio, tho business outlook is good, and wishing the best results to you and your patrons, I say au revoir. John Wateiw. e -. , j .a u. i Sheep Bteallns In Douglas County, RoxEDUltn, June 22, 18S0. Kditor Willamette Farmer! Wliat cau we do? Some way or another we continually lose our sheep. Their dead car casses cannot be found. It is a well estab lished fact that there are among us'a band of thieves. I need not cite instances for they are too numerous. The only way that now re mains for us to do is to take some measures to endeavor to suppress aud apprehend the guilty ones. I am informed that the (J range' in this locality has taken the matter under advisement and that a committee has been de tailed to report at the July meeting. This traffic ha been carried on for many yean past and every effort is going to be pat for ward to bring the guilty once to justice. Far mers who have only had a few hundred head are known to have lost the best half of their flock. It U eridently true that they are driven out of the countty probably to Cali fornia. This thing has gone far enough and they propose stopping it, C. J. W, KOTWsT. Oswioo, Jane 28, 1880. Editor Willamette Farmer i An adjourned meeting of the Patrons Pio neer Fire Belief Association will be held at the hall of Maltnosnah Orange oa the eeond Monday ot July, at 11 o'clock a. m. All Pa trons interested in this matter are invited and urged to be present. , A. B. BmriaT, President, PORTLAND, OREGON, Handling of Young Horses. Kditor Now York Sportsman! Ono cannot do justice to tlio subject in a siuglo newspaper articlo. It requires long ex perience, thorough knoulcdga of horses, supe rior intelligence, and inoxhaustiblo patlcucu to train horses cither for saddlo or harness. On a breeding farm (I don't mean a trottinir or racing stud), where thcro aro a number of young animals to chooso from, the wiso trainer should divide them into three grades, taking tlio.10 of tho most promising intelligence for saddlo use, those uoxt In grado for driving, remainder for common work horses, Tlicso selections should be made wheu tho colts aro young say from six mouths to ono year old. Thoio Intended for harness should bo familiar ircd with it Itcforo it is put on for uso. Whilo tho mother is being groomed of a morning let a light collar and girth bo put on tho colt as it plsys nround her, only to remain a few min ute. When he is three and a half, or better still, four years old, ho may bo harnessed for light use. Hu will last a great deal longer than w ben broken younger, and should bo perfectly bridle-wiso before ho is put in harness at all. Caro should be taken that tho harness is iu pel feet oilier and well lit ting; many a broken stmp has frightened a gentle horse, and ill-fitting harness will worry him out uf his senses. Let him stand with it on for an hour every day forawcck,oucaaiouallydiiving liim'nround tho yard to accustom' him to the reins. We used to liitt.1i a log of wood to tho traces,, and so got him to draw a weight without danger to on rich es. it is much easier to break to doublo driving than to put him in tlio shafts at first, csncciallv if vou hao an old steady ItfipaA it tnf will, lilm nvntimln nlii'iivi ltitu. better than precept. I do not liko a sulky at. -ii.1,, , ,, , ...--bj . iioi i jimmineorits ami unsupported lie- is much Itetter, as they got used to it at once, I ...... -I (livo him short cosy drics on a safo road at first, carefully correcting all lad habits as you go; and on bringing him in batho his sholders iu cold water, unless a Dutch collar is used, iu which caso it is unnecessary. In breaking work horses great caro should 1k taken not load them too heavily; half the balky horses aro made so by overloading. Novor allow a young horse to l whipped for a fault; kindly coax him out of it, and if you w isli to keep him freo from faults, dou t let yourmothcroripstcrilrivo him unless they have served an apprenticeship under some good dri ver. Not ono woman in a half-dozen (hundred) knows how to drive. Yours truly, SahaiiIIluh'-k. Ralslnc Mules. In Mr. Primo's new liook, "Model Farms and Their Methods," two writers speak of their manner of rai.ing ami breeding tlii-e useful animals. Mr. Parscll, of Jersey county, Illinois, says that in breeding and raising ho keeps three brood marcs aud uses n well bred Spanish jack. An oxperienco of thirty years teaches him tliat to growf large, com pact, well-formed mules, with good action, ono must have tho very Wst bred maris, flivo them good pasture, and no grain. At five mouths ho weans the foal, and feeds two quarts of oats per day. Ruu them in the pasture iu the day, and stable at night. Ho commences haltering them at six months old, and liandles them carefully. He raises mules for profit. Never sold ono for less than 8125, and as high as (220 each. He always alined to raise largo, compact, well-formed animals, Mr, R. C. M linger, of Iroquois county, says tnat he has found that if a man doe not wish to breed from his work teams, the mule is tho team. Mules will work in the dust and heat where it would k.U a horse; they are not nearly as liable to accident or disease, aud the grain one homo will eat will keep two mules. Iiut the mule will get away with as much bay as a horse, and is not particular if it Is musty, or has been damaged y rain. His mule teams do snore work than his horse teams, A mule colt is as easy to raise as a homo colt. He lets them follow the mares upon the farm. The horse colt is with the mare all the time, if the corn rows are a half mile long they want to suck at each end, and when weaned, the first year they have to kept iu a shelter with plenty of oats to keep them growing. The mule colt will stay at the bam one or two hours after the mare ha gone to the field; then he will take a walk down to the field, take a suck and lie down, or pick grass. When he is weaned ha turns him out with big colts or cattle, and lets him run till he is three years old, when he take him up and breaks him with a much kindness as he w ould a bone. The mule will sell for more than a horse. Sixes I used Pfunder's Oregon Blood Puri fier, myself and children enjoy excellent h alth, aays Judge Caples, the terror of all miscreants.

When tho country swain, loitering along sumo lane, comes to a standstill to contem pWwith awo and nouder, tho spectacle of a ii-AM ot tho familiar "hair-eels" or "hair worms" wriggling aliout in .1 pool, ho plods on his way firmly convinced that, ns hu has lipon taught to holicvo, ho has just witnessed tlio results of the tmusfuriiatiou of some horso's hairs Into living creatures. So familiar Is this bcllcf'to pcoplo of ' professedly higher culture than tho countryman, that the trans formation just alluded to has to all, saio a few thinking persons and zoologists, becomo a mat ter of tlio most commonplace kind. When t.pmo quarrymen, engaged iu splitting up tho locks, Irnvo sucrocded in dislodging some lingo mass of stone, thero may sometimes Ira seen to hop from among tho debris a lively toad or frog, which comes to bo regarded by the ex cavatomwith fccliegi akin to thoso of super t'tltious wonder and amnmncnt, Tho aiilmnl may or may not bo captured; but tho fact fs duly chronicled In tho local newspapers, and people, vyomkr for a season over the pheno menon of a veritable Rip Van Winkle of a frog, which, to all nppcarauce-, has lived for "thous and of years in tho solid rock." Xor do tho linlr-worm and tho frog stand alone in respect of their marvelous origin. Popular zoology is full of such marvel. We find unicorns, mcrnialda and nunncn; geeso developed from the shellfish known as "liarnailes"; woaio told that crocodiles liny weep, and that sirens can sing in short, there ii nothing tow under fill to lie told of animals that people w ill , not In liovo tho talai while, curiously enough, when they aro told of writable facts of animals life, brads begin to shake ami doubts to be express ed, until tho zoologist despairs'' of educating 1,"JI,, '" "tinguWiinjj fact from ficjion, ', " J r mmi I. youthful acquaintance of seafaring habits en tertained her with tales of tho wonrVrsho had seen, finds after all, a closo application iu the woild at large. Tho dame listened with de light, appreciation and belief, to account uf mountains of sugar ami rivers of rum, ami to tales of land whero gold and silverand precious stones wore more than plentiful. Hut, when tlio narrator descended to tell of fishes that wero able to raise themselves nut of the water in Hlght, the old lady's credulity began to fancy.iUcIf imposed upon; for she Indignant ly repressed what she considered tho lad's ten dency to exaggeration, saying, "Sugar moun tains may lie, and rivers of rum may lie, but fish that flee ne'er can lo!" Many popular Miffs concerning animals partake of tho char acter of the real and tho fabulous; and the cir cumstance tlls pon erf ully in U or of tho opin ions regarding tlni real and tho fabulous; and the circumstance tellsmmcrfully in fanrof tlio opinion that a kiiowiodge ofour surrouudiiigaiii tlio world aud an intelligent conception of ani mal and plaut lifu should form part of the school-training of every lioy and girl. Popu lar Science. Monthly, ' i When to Trim Trees. It is my belief that all froo sap-flowing trees, fruit trees ami grape-vines should not bo trim mod in the spring, while tho sap is passing fu e ly from the roots to tho branches, us all wounds made at this timo will bleed, and that profusely, if the tree is trimmed to any extent. Tho health and vigor of the treo will sulIVr In proportion to tho quantity of sap wasted. Thu bark around and below the cut will become black and discolored, and decay will begin iu the stock More tho wound heals over. I be lieve the proper time to trim trees is in June, after the spring flow of up has ceased and is being converted into wood, Then the w ounds will not bleed, and the healing-over process will be facilitated by paring tho cut smooth, and applying a thin In) er of grafting wax, to exclude the air mid rain. When blanches to bo lemovul are not over au inch and a lialf in diameter, the use of urcliard shears is pitfer able to tho baud saw as they leat e a smooth, clean cut, and cutting from the lower sido of the limb, the stock is not iu danger of Mug splintered by the limb falling. In trimming, the preservation of tho vigor and healthf uhiess of the tree should be kept in view, as well as its symmetry, and trimming should be done at a season when these will be least impaired, My experience proves tliat time to be in June, Correepondcnce of Country Oentleman. A Hood Cow. Judge Wm. Strong, of Portland, who take a great deal of interest in country life and is a good judge of stock, has a small cow, weight about 700 pounds, of the common breed of cattle, that is a favorite milker at four and a half years with her second calf. Lately he saved the milk for one week, weighed and churned it, with the foUowing'resultt The cow yielded 27 pound and 0 ounces of milk per day, and 9) pounds of butter was made from one week' yield of milk, which is a good showing for common stock. 1880.
