WILLAMETTE FARMER: PORTLAND, OREGON, SEPTEMBER 16, 1881, Mr. Oaks on the Prospects of the Northern Pacific Railroad. Bismarck, Aug 23. Vice President Oakes, of the Northern Pacific railroad, was inter viewed last night by a Pionrer-Press reporter. Said Mr. Oikes : "Why he mining interests of Montana that must pay tribute to tlio Northern Pa cific, will pay running expenses of this road nd a dividend besides. There is enough ore in sight to guarantee this statement for at teast twenty years." "When will thu road be completed!" said the reporter. "Well, x think in three years, although Mr. Villard puts the date of completion dur ing the year 1832, and ho is a man who ac complishes what he unilcitikcs." In the course of the conversation Mr.Oakcs expatiated upon the splendid financial con dition of tho Northern Pacific. This he maJo evident by contrast with the Union and Central Pacific. When completed he said, that tho indebtedness of the Northern Pacific would be less than half that of tho Union and Central Pacific. In round numbers, the Union Pacific has an indebtedness of 65, 000,000 aud tho Central Pacific one of about SSO,000,000, making a total of about $145, 030,009; on the other hand, the ex isting bonded indebtedness of the Northern Pacific is only 24,400,000 and Mr. Oakes esti mates that it will bo only require 20,000,000 to complete the road. Tho grant itself of tho Northern Pacific is an empire in itself. Wo all know tho value of its lands in Montana, and Mr. Oakes considers those of Dakota even more valuable. Said he: '"When it is remembered that the Northern Pacific when completed will be a much shorter route across tho continent than the Union and Central Pacific, that it will run through a region richer in mineral aud agricultural re source, and will bring the vast commerce of China, and Japan about 800 miles nearer New York than tho route by San Francisco, its conliaat with tho Union aud Central Pacific becomes even mora favorable. The following problem, then is one of easy solution: If the Union and Central Pacific have an aggregate in debtedness of $145,000,000 and an aggregate capital stock of 3155,000,000, and both bonds and stock bear a premium in the market, what must be the value of the bonds and stock of the Northern Pacific, a more valu able continental road, when its total bonded, debt will only reach 840,000,000, and its total stock is fixed at $100,000,000. The conundrum was propounded just as the train was about to move away, and there- fore remained unanswered. Mr. Oakes is thus far even better pleased with Dakota and Montana, but other thfln the above would not speak about the present and future plans of the management. Ho did, however, say that Helena or Pipes, one pass would undoubtedly he adopted across tho mountains, and with , that lie liaile adieu to Bismarck and seated himself before a car window for a survey of tho Dakota prairies and bonanza farms. The Philosophy of Soap. Among the many common things w hich are nsed every day, but of the philosophy of whose action many persona really know but very little, is the article of soap. An ex Ubiago thus describes its cleansing action. To remove stains, dirt, crease and the like, the general principle to be followed is to apply to ithesame a substance for which they have a mruuger auimty man lor me suriace to wmcii ey are attached. Ihe alkalies, soda or pot- li, arc found to possess a very active and ergetic solvent power for many substances, d especially for the various forms of impuri- s which attach themselves to the skin and textile fabrics or clothing. In their puro caustic form, however, these alkalies are al- bether toopowoiful, as they would rapidly rrode the skin, or, is applied to textile fab- s, discharge the colors and destroy tho tis :. It is necessary, therefore, to temper the itive corrosive action of the alkalies, and for is purpose they are united with the weak ids of fat, in which form we know them as pa; and in this condition they are admira- adapted for cleansing purposes. The sis of the impurities which attach them- jvca to our clothing and skin is of an oily greasy nature, derived chiefly in'in per iration, though frequently from other and :idental sources, holding or retaining dust d 'dirt of various kinds. Upon such greasy oily impurities water alone has no effect; t the alkali of the soap readily takes hold it, assimilates it. f ruling with it a com- und w hich readily dissolve in water, and e solid impurities (dust and the like) which had caused to adhere to the skin of cloth- lg, are then readily removed by gentle fric-. 1. A Mother's Love. ren years ago there resided in this vicinity lamily consisting of fither, mother and five lldren The father was a brutal creature, pessUely crutl to his wife and children. : oldest son, a lad of 14, was compelled to I the heaviest work, such as would have ped the strength and endurance of a full f 'u man,and drubbed unmercifully between lies. Prom overliftinc. overwork and ex- tive punishment, he was stunted and re- fed to semi-imbecility. In common with Ithe rest of the family! he lived in constant I mortal dread of his father. One day, for pc triwtl offense, his father, in a towering i armed with a formidable weapon, rushed I'm. threatening bis life. The bov. crazed Mnght, fled with the phenomenal speed Ph overmastering terror sometimes lends pe feet of the pursued, and for ten long. 'i beartsore years that was the last seen rard ol him by bis anxious, disconsolate, tcuud mother. A few days ago, how. i she received tidings that a poor creature, Pirstively helpless, was w andering in the F and from place to place, a few miles cere, inquiring for bis mother. He 1 not give her name, or any other infor- O that wnnld arvf ti inrlicato her "bouts, only ."I am bunting for my l; the U not far away." It wssthought ho bore a faint resemblance to tho poor wo man's long-lost son, for whom, soon after his departure, she had vainly advertised and mado inquiries, And whom shohad long since des paired of ever seeing again. - The tidings of tho strange little man. of tho woods reached her at night. Sho is a hard-working washer woman, a patient drudge, and hoot worked hard all that day. But with a wild hope that in spired her unwonted energy, she paused not a moment, but with winged feet hurried across the intervening country to where the wander er was. And, though dwarfed, barefooted, ragged, dishevelled, and of uncouth aspect, it was her boy, now a man of twenty-four jears, and Bhe was supremely happy. With the tender caro which we may bo suro .she has given him he has rapidly brightened up. Lit tle by little his memory begins to recall w ith much vividness tho scenes and incidents of chirdhood and his later cxpeiiences. He has been twice in the asylum at Napa, and once at that in Stockton. Afler his discharges he has worked wherever he could obtain employment always, however, with a fixed purpose of some time huuting up his mother. .He had forcotten hei name, her nativity, her place of residence, but he never lo3t faith that some time or some how he would find her or she would find him. His instincts did not de ceive him. She is separated from her brutal husband now, and with cheerful pleasure takes upon herself the added drudgery of pro viding for her helpless boy. They will never part again while both live. Placerville Dem ocrat. HOW TO SPOIL A HUSBAND. Find fault with him. Keep an untidy house. Always have the last word. Be extra cross, on wash day. Quarrel with him over trifles. Vow vengence on all his rclativos. Never have his meals ready on time. Let him sew on his own shirt buttons. Pay no attention to household expenses. Give as much as he can earn in a month for a new bonnet. Till him as plainly as possible you marrie.l him for a living. Raise a row if he dares to bow pleasantly to an old lady friend. Get everything the woman next door gets, whether you can afford it qr not. Keep the parlor for company and do not let him put his foot into it. Provide any sort of a picked up meal for him when you don't expect visitors. Tell him the children inherit all their mean traits of character from his side of the family. Let it out sometimes when you are good and mad that you wish you had married some other fellow you used to go with. When he gives you ten dollars to lay aside for a "rainy day" give it to the first raddlcr t'jat 'comes along for a pair of ten cent'laster vases. When he wants you to go out walking with him tell him you'd rather run in to Mr. Long tongue's to borrow a slipper 'pattern or get a recipe for preserves. Give him to understand as soon as possible after the honey moon that kissing is well enough for spooney lovers, but for married folks is confoundedly silly. If he takes to kissing the cook or chambermaid after that don't be too hard on him. If he has an extra amount of brain work and comes home with his nervous system all on a stretch don't try to keep the children quiet. Tell them to make all the noise they like, and that their father is nothing but an old cross-patch anyway. Experimenting With Carp The TJreat Food Fish. The California Fish Commissioners had a lot of king carp', from the Danube in their breeding, pond near Oakland, but they were not doing well there because there was not enough fish food therein, and on Monday last some 20 of them, big and small, were removed to Burr's lake in San Mateo county. These, Prof. Baird (who is at the head of tlm United States Fish Commissioners) says, are the best caip known better for human food, produce better and grow faster than any other. These are the only carp that tho Commissioners recommend. They have been known to grow to elet en pounds weight in two years. They eat freely of cabbage, beans, turnip" tops, beet tops, potat cs, water cress, tnle1 roots and the like. With a raised pond from whioh the water would flow and could bo nsed for irrigation, and which any farmer could cheap ly make, thesu fish could be raited anywhere at pext to the cost. Several of these carp which were in December, 1879, put inlo tho Oakland pond "wee things," were t;ach seven teen inches in length last Monday, and'thatir not a good fish pond either. Next year they will be distributed to those who have points. The Commissioner has promised them to many people this Fall most of whom have kept their ponds for that purpose, but they will havn to be disappointed for tho reason named. The fishes did not breed well, but they hope to find plenty next year in Burr's pond to which they, have been removed. The Commissioners expected 10.000 in 'ha Alame da mud and sot out 260 after draeine it 'carefully, but they hope that t.iere are still little ones, wnicn wens inrongn ins metnes oi the nets. Tbey will next try the Riverside lake at Sacramento, which was stocked with a few carp in 1879. .y. F. Chronicle, Jay Gould is on the war path and Is about to build and equip a trans-continental railroad to San Francisco of his own. He raised $23, 000,000 in London, and formed an alliance with the Texas Pacific, controlled by the Nicterson interest in the A. T. & S. F. rail road and the Utah Southern Pacific, to form a junction in the Phamegate alley, Nevada, and unite the building of a trunk line through from that point to San Franciscu. An oppor tunity has been affor ed t see a cablegram from London, containing the information that $25,000,000 worth of bonds for this trunk line had all been subscribed, and a cipher tel (Tram went through to New York announcing that the whole ground to San Francisco is now covered by engineers. A correspondent describes at length the Southwestern sjstem of 7,000 miles, costing for constntction alone $40,000,000. He alludes to the Mexican con nections and concessions to the Southwest system in Texas, and says extensions ale now building about 70 miles per day. The south west system will bo finished this year to Lo rado, Texas. All this year tho line from San Francisco to Texas will be covered with en gineers and at the moment they strike Kl Paso, they will commence laying nt el rails into Mexico. Farm T ols. A certain number of tools and somo skill in their use, will often save the farmer much time in sending for a mechanic, and some ex pense in paying him. Kvcry farmer should bo able to mako repairs on his wagons, gates and buildings A room, or a portion of it, should bo devoted to keeping tools; a pin or nail should be inserted for each one to hang on, and the name of each tool writtcu or painted under the pin, tint it may bo promptly returned to its place, and any missing one detected. Keep every tool in its place do not wait for a more convenient sea son, but return every one to its pin tho mo ment it is done with. If left out of its place n moment it will be likely to remain a week, and cause a loss of time in looking for it a hundred times greater than in replacing it promptly. Keeping everything in its place is a habit costing nothing when formed. The tools should be a hammer, saw, augurs, brace and bit, gimlets, screw-driver, wrench, two planes, chisels, mallet, files and rasp, draw, knife, saw-set, trowel and box with compart' ments for different sized nails, screws, nuts and bolts. Common farm implements and tools, such as hoes, spades, shovels, forks, rakes and scythes may be in the same room, on the opposito side, and the same precaution taken to keep every one in its place. Spain as a Oreat Power. Why, asks Spain, should not sho be repre scntcd when Kuropo meets in council? One answer would appear to be that, except in population, she is as unlike a great power as a state can be. She is poor and backward; she has taken no part in the formation of re cent European history; sho has no external interests to defend; sho contributes little to the material and still less to the intellectual stock of European wealth. Italy has fought Russia in the Crimea and Austria in two cam paigns. Her fighting may not have been very successful, but still she has fought. Italian commerce out of Italy is pushing and widely spread. Spanish commerco out of Spain or Spanish colonies is simply non-existent. Italy has in recent days produced great men, not only the 'ate King and Cavour, but crowds of men with the knowledge and instincts of statesmen. Spaiu has. recently produced, to put it briefly, the persons whom it has pro duced. Italians pay up honestly; they ex plore, colonize, write. They are enraged in really great experiments in education. They are Europeans in the midst of Europe. The Spaniards arc almost out of Europe geograph ically, and are still less in it in politics, arms, literature and commerce. All that can bo said for them is that they can show a total of 17,000,000 of population, and have now been five or six years without a dynastic revolu tion. Saturday lleriew. Tricks and Faults of Horses. The severity with which a horse has been punished for a fault is usually the measure of the violence with which ho will repeat it. It is this violence that makes the horse so dan gerous in his rebellion, for until ho loses his reason he will take care not to injure himself, and so in a measure protects his rider. Few young horses are dangerous in their resist ances until they have met with cruel treat ment. It is seldom that a colt in breaking will bolt with his rider; it is usually tho old offend er who is guilty of this most dangerous of vices. Although nearly every young lioro will rtar at the pressure of the hit, ho will sel dom rise to a dangerous height, and ho soon ceases to offend in that way. A horse must bo corrected and put right, but it is never neces sary to resort to severe punishments. For tunately the horse is a animal of Ono idea, and when he has determined upon his lino of op position he is easily circumvented and hum bled. If he refuses to turn to tho right he will be so intent upon opposing tho right rein tliat he may be turned around to the left in. til ho is confused, when he will vtry gladly go in aiiy direction. If he declines t" go forward ho is not prepared to resist a demand for a back ward movement, and he will soon tire of that unusual mode and start forw ard at I he first hint from his rider. But a hoise properly bro ken and trained will not be guilty of such contumacy, and will not bo apt to show the vices of which lam about to speak, but for whhh the rider must be prepared. If a horse bolts, the rider should not fatigue himself by taking a steady drig upon tho mouth. Leaning back, with the breech well under him, and bearing no weight in the stirrups, the rider should take a succession of pulls upon the bit, one following tho other sufficiently m ar to obtain cumu ative effect When the horse appiars to yield to the bit, advantage should be taken of the moment, to prevent his again extending himself, by in creased exertions upon the part of the rider, whose power should be reserved as far as pos siDle to seize this oppori unity. I know of no way to pievent a horte bolting; by keeping his head up with the suaflle rein the lidcr will have greater command of the horse, but the use of severe bits will not deter a confirmed bolter from indulging his vicious propens ty. If a horse rears the reins should be loosen ed, aud if the rider requires support he should seize the mane, without, however, letting the reins drop from his bands. The spurs should not be applied while the horse is ruing, but as he comes down the legs of the rider should be closed to induce the horse to go forward. If the horse refutes to go forward, the rider will find the aids of the mouth with which the horse is not prepared t resist, by drawing the nias from right to left, and holding the reia of that side low he will pul.1 tho horse around, aiding tlio hand by the application of tho spur on that side. If, when the horse rears, ho sinks upon his hind quarters, tho rider should endeavor to leavo tho horse by seizing the mano and throwing himself aside, and al though he may not bo ablo to clear himself of tht horse, ho w ill at least avoid coining down under thcsiddle If a horse is shy at passing an object ho can generally be mado to proceed I y turning his head a ay, and passing him along with (he leg opposito to the object, as in traversing. If ha is a joung horse, and does not seem to hvo known fear, he will usually faco that which has caused his alarm if ho is allowed to take ns much room a tho way offers. The rider should avoid as much as is possible, taking no tice of the horse's fright, as any nervousness on tho p.irtof tho lidcr will confirm the horse in tho opinion that there is danger. If a horso takes alarm on tho road at tlimcs with which hois familiar, it is cither through defective eyo sight, or because he has found out that ho can tako liberties with his rider. A man of discretion will knuw when a horse should be whipped up to an object of which thcro is a pretenco of fear, but the horse must never be struck after ho has passed on. I do not liko a horso that has low action, for ho must trip, and ho is likely, sooner or later, lo como down. A horse stumbles when, through weakness, weariness, or stiffness from ago and work, he is not ablo to recover him- se f from a trip. He usually bears tho evidence of his accident on his knees. A horso that stumbles from weakness is not ft for saddle use. If the rider is unfortunate enough to find himself mounted upon a horse that gives indications of beinginsecureupon his feet, ho should demand frca and lively action, with rein and legs. The horse should not be allowed to become indolent nor bo permitted to hang upon the bit. On descending a hill the horse must have liberty of action, for if he steps too short, he is liable to como down; and a horse that.is checked has not sufficient free dom for his safety. It is after a long day's work that a weary horso may for the first time stumble, and it is a mistaken idea of kindness that induces a rider t3 let a horse tako his head upon such an occasion. The horso miss ed the encouragement of tho rein and tho sup port of the leg, anil is invited to fall. Besides, it is much inoro fatiguing for him to bear his burden, dcpriv.d nf his usual .vds, and in drooping spirits. Finally, in case of a fall, cither of a stumbling horse, or under any oth er circumstances, the rider should hold on to rein until he is assured that his feet are free of tho stirrups. Anderson's "How to Ride and School a Horse." A Remarkable Pony. A well authenticated and extraordinary case of the sagacity of the Shetland pony has just come under our notice. A year or two ago, Mr. Widiam Sinclair imported one of these little animals from Sh tland on which to ride to and from school, Ids' residence being at a considerable distance from the school build ing'. Up to that time tho animal had been unshod, but somo time after it ard Mr. Sinclair had it shod by Mr. Pratt, the parish black smith. The other day Mr. l'ratt, whose smithy is a long distance from Mr. Sinclair's house, saw the pony, without halter or any thing upon it, walking up to where h was working. Thinking the animal had strayed from home, he drovo it off, throwing stones ftcr the beast to make it run home ard. 1'his had the desired effoct for a short time; but Mr. l'rntt had only got fairly at work once more in tho smithy when the pony's head again made its appearance at the door. On proceeding a second time outside, to drive the pony away. Mr. Pratt, with a black smith's instinct, took a look at tho pony's feet, when ho observed that ono of its shoes had been lost. Having mado a shoo he put it on, aim tnen waitcu to soo wnat the animal would do. For a moment it looked at tho blacksmith as if asking whether ho was (hmc, then paued once or twice to see if the newly shod font was comfortable, and finally gave n pleased neigh, erected his bead, and started home at a brisk trot. 1'ho owner was also ex ceedingly surprised to find the animal at homo completely shod the a .mo evening, and it was only on calling at the smithy somo days after ward tjut lie luuned tho full oxtcnt of his pony's sagacity. Uxcltamjc. Rvk is the best grain crop with which to seed down to grass, as the lower stems make little shade. It is letter to sow alwut half, or iiot over two-thirds, tho usual quai.tit of this grain, so as to give tho gians a better chance. If jou tow the ryo early in Autumn you may s timothy seed at the tamo time, or 1 ave it till early Spring. Timothy and clover make a good mixture, at the rate of lulf a peck of timothy aula peck of clover or other proportions may be used. This is much inoro than many farmers sow, but a thick seeding is better than a thin ono. Much depends on a fine, rich surface soil to receive the seed, when half a peck will ive a better growth than a half bushel on a hard crust. The clover is always to be sown early in Spring, and if )Oti can mellow the surface with a fine-tocth harrow, and then brush the seed in, it will be likely to succeed well Cittle turned in on young grass, growing on grouud that has not become thoroughly set tled, will bo likely to injure it materially unless late in Summer, and when the surface is hard and dry long after rain.

In 1878 (the latest year for which there are any complete figures) the total wsi 1,508,000,000 pounds. There are over 3,000,000 of sheep sheared in Michigan this year, according to official state ments from the Michigan Secretary of State, Mr. Jenny.
