Good Feeling In Jackson County
Willamette Fanner ;
dosed find $2.50 for the year. The far-
r this year has idled away his last day,
lis have had more rain than has ever been
pa before in this month, and everywhere
seen the busy farmer plow ing and sow-
te grain that is to be harvested another
r.' The ground that was summer-fallowed
rly all sown, and now the black, sticky
suffer again. Everywhere we hear the
tie of the plow-boy as he toils from morn
night. There is going to be more grain
this year than ever before, for in the
distance we can hear the noise of some-
ig that makes our hearts leap with joy.
on the tongue of everyman and boy in
valley that they have gone to work build-
the extension from Roseburg to Reding,
every farmer in Southern Oregon is going
have all his grain shipped to market if it
take one bushel to ship another.
Cheat is worth 50 cents cash, 55 cents,
le and cash, and 60 cents to pay debts
Kth. Nearly all the farmers can get the
Ighest price here for their wheat without
ivins to wait on freights.
I do not hand this in for publication, just
iting the condition of our valley at the pres
ume. It may be that theiailroad will be
jnefit to the place. Every one is in favor
having one, but w here there are so many
lys of shipping the farmers' produce tomir-
as you have in the Willamette, and then
"hard times," as we see every cow and
in your paper, wo are compelled to ask,
can we benefited?
any thanks to yon for your valuable ra-
r, it is a welcome visitor in our mid it
Ecqar Welm.

Letter from Lane County.
Cabtwkiqht, Nov. 7, 1881.
Editor Willamette Farmer:
Having nothing to do I thought a few items
from this part of Oregon would be of interest
to the readers of the Fa timer.
People look very pleisint since the recent
rains in this pjit of the country. Pastures
aie refreshed, and there is plenty of water for
stock.
Farmers are busy sowing fall wlnat and
plowing for the sprine crop.
The apple and potato crops were a success.
This part of wcbfont is filling up rapidly
with a good, healthy looking set of farmers.
Six families moved in this Fall, which will
add strength to ourschool.
Professor E. C. Clayton is teaching the
young folks to write, w ith good euccess. I
would recommend him to all young persons
who wish to improve in writing.
Mrs. D. B. Cartwright, of Siuslaw valley,
has sold her farm of l.COOacrestoMr. Kenedy
of Salem. She is at present isiting friends
at Drain's Station.

Amber-Cane Syrup.
We have had in contemplation for some
time the pieparation of an article upon this
growing interest in our county, but for vari
ous l easons have deferred the matter until
now ; but wo rind that we have not the data
or facts which will enable us to speak of the
matter as its importance demands. A good
many things of interest have been developed
during the experiments made in this valley in
tho past two years, and among others is the
fact that amber cane, w hilc it does not, per
haps, grow as thrifty as tho old sorghum caue
tormerly raised here, produces a much finer
article of molasses, entirely free from the
peculiar taste so characteristic of tho latter
article. We have referred to the fact that
sorghum grows more thrifty than amber, but
it has been ascertained that amber cane yiel'ds
a much larger percentage of saccharine matter
than the sorghum, thus placing it in point of
profit ahead of the last-mentioned cane. Sam
ples of amber cane grown on rich bottom
land, generally supposed to yield a lesser
quantity of sweet than that raised on higher
and lighter land, have this year tested 13 deg.
Beauni, which is far above the average of re
sults attained in the Eastern States, where
this industry has assunied largo proportions
within the past few years. Again, in the
States tho general average requires from seven
to nine gallons of juice to make a single gallon
of syrup weighing tw else pounds. This in
dustry in our valley is yet in its infancy, but
enough has already been learned to demon
strate the utility of amber cine as a sugar and
sjiup pioducer. So far no attempts have
been inado to make sugar from this cane, but
we havo seen s.uuplcs of sjiup which gr.iincd
finely, only needing machinery to produce a
fair marketable article of sugn, Thesyiup
finds a ready sale at a dollar a gallon, and tho
amount manufactured this year will fall far
short of the home demand. There are three
iron mills already iu this county, owned by
Messrs. Wrisley 4 Walker, near Central
Point, Messrs. Richardson it Sons, near Ash
land, and one oa Applegitc. Tho first two
named firms have works with a capacity for
working fifty acres of cane each in a single
year, which would be increased as the busi
ness would sctm to justify. Walker & Wris
ley have this year made about 1,500 gallons of
excellent syrup, and the other firm 1,000 gal
lons, perhaps. The time is near at hand w hen

Improved Ideas or Quality in the Draft Horse
In one thing, there has been a very marked
change in the popular idea of the draft hoise
for use in this country. A few years ago ijreat
tizt was considered the one thing needful in a
draft horse. They were not exactly bought
and sold by tho pound, like cattle or swine,
but the weight of tho horse was one of the
questions asked; 'utility was lost sight of.
This rage for size led to the importation of
many miserable brutes, and to the perpetua
tion of many glarinir defects in conformation,
and to the transmiion of much hereditary
unsoundness. But, thanks to the judgment of
discriminating buyers, the public have come
to understand that it takes something besides
flesh and bone to make a good horse. Quality,
action, endurance, aud temperament re now
closely scrutinized by all breeders of intelli
gence, as well as by tno buyers of horses for
tho great markets; and the importer or breed
er who now neglects these es-entials in hit
selections must go into some other business.
What will bo tho ultimate effect of this en
ormous influx of foreign draft blood upon the
hore stock of our Western States, where
these importations mainly find a lodgment, re.
mains to be seen. As before remarked, it is
at present a profitable business, both to the
importer and to the breeder; and we are satis
fied Out the general increase in size, w Inch
must inevitably result from tl.e extensive use
of tbee draft stallions, cannot fail to furnish
us with the basil for a substantial improve
ment if our subsequent breediu shall be
wisely conducted.- Xalioruil Lite Slut Jour

Cost Per Acre of Raising Wheat.
On one acre of ground, Frof. A. E. Blount,
of the State Agricultural College, drilled in
seven and a half pounds of wheat. Tho cost
of the seison's cultivation amounted to nine
teen dollars and twenty-five cents. When he
harvested his crop he had sixty-seven and one
qnsrter bushels of grain, which he cold for $2
per bushel, or $130.00. It cost him, to raise
this wheat, a triflo over twenty-eight and two
thirds cents per bushel. It taught him, or,
rather, convinced him, that his theory of light
sowing was correct. This happened in Ten
neseo. If it had occurred in Colorado the
yield would havo been larger the expense
perhaps 25 per cent, greater. Of this we are
not quite sure, and the Professor, in tbo
course of a conversation we had with him on
thfs subject, affirmed that tho expense of
raising would be no more here than in Ten
nessee." cv,Aif-y "
But, says some doubting reader, this was an
experimental acre, to which ho had special
cultivation. In garden practice this might
do, but in field practice it could not do it.
Well, let us see. Hero is another case in
point, where tho Professor seeded twenty
acres, using twenty pounds of seed to the
acre, drilling it in. The cost of cultivation
was glUZ.50 for the field, or 59.02 per acre.
Tho yield was exactly 899 bushels. Tho "eter
nal fitness of things1' might have induced the
Professor to add another bushel to tho yield
and round it up as nino hundred. But this he
was too conscientious to do. This wheat, it
will be seen, averaged him 42 bushels to the
acre, aud was raised at a cost of 21 J cents per
bushel. He got $2 for each and every bushel.
This was in Tennessee, "wav down upon
ihe S-ianec ribber," perhaps. But there are
some who believe it can bn beaten hero in
Colorado, and the Professor himself is one of
those who are of this belief.
Does farming pay in Colorado ! In Weld
and L irimcr counties there are eases where
tl e yield this season has paid the price of the
farm. Not, pel haps, above the co-it of raising
the crop, but has netted tho first cost of the
land. Is there a better bonanza in tho rocks
than this? Is there a more golden glitter in
the pulverized quartz, or soft carbonates thaii
lies hidden in the valley loam ? Vx.
The Stallion at the Close of the Season.
The season of active service for the breed
ing stallion has now closed in most cases, and
it becomes something of a problem to know
how best to manage him until the next season
conies on. We have discussed this Bubject
pretty thoroughly in former numbers of the
Journal, but it may not bo out of place to re-
fieat at this time that in our experience we
lave found the most satisfactory results from
the practice of putting tho stallion to mod
erate work on the farm or on the road during
the Fall and Winter months. When this
firactico cannot be conveniently adopted, a
arge paddock or lot should always be furnish
ed, to w hich tho horse can have access at will,
the door of his stable opening into it, aud be
ing at all times, except in cases of severe
storms, left open. If tho horse is not w orked,
very little grain of any kind should be fed
during the Fall and early Winter months.
The principal food should bo grass, as long as
it is attainable, and when this is gone, good
hay, or what we like still better, corn fodder.
We should prefer not to uso any grain what
ever during this period, unless the horse is a
growing one, or in low condition, and then we
should use no grain, except oats, until the ad
vent of cold weather. In February or March,
varying with the condition of tho horse,
greater attention should be paid to his food,
which should then bo liberal. But in all cases
the importance of exercise must not be over
looked. It is the golden ruin of condition-in
the stallion. The enforced seclusion and idle
ness to which so many of them are subjected,
is the fruitful source of disease as well as of
many of the vices, which affect stallions that
arc kept. Live Stock Join nal.
Effect of Comfort on the Quality of the Milk.
The quiet and comfort of tho cow has much
to do with the quality of her milk. In hot
weather, tho annoyance produced by flies, and
excitement caused by fighting them, makes
the night's milk still poorer than it otherwise
would he. Chemical analysis has shown a
great falling olf of fat in the milk of tho eamo,
cow w hen chased by n dog. Any unusual ex
citement of tho cow atlects her milk. Ex
tremes of heat aud cold also allect tho milk.
In a case where cows went into a stream in
hot weather, and Btood several bonis in the
water above the knee, there was a falling off
of tho butter product from the samo quantity
of milk. This is accounted for by the extra
food lequired to keep up the animal heat, in
consequence of tho heat being carried off by
the w atcr.
When we consider the fact that milk is so
ciotej from tho blood, we can icadily see the
ellcctthat must bo produced by excitement on
the nervous system of tho cow. In a case oc
curing in the city of Albany, N. Y., where a
nervous cow was milked by a passionate man,
who whipped and otherwise ill-treated her at
milking, tho milk was given to a child who
had been healthy, but, after using this milk,
became ill and suffered from iutestinal irrita
tion, followed by a fever which seemed to af
fect the brain and nervous system. This ill
ness was traced directly to tho milk of this
ill-treated cow. Lire Stock Journal.
What Food Produces Large Yields
The fact that nearly all published test rec
ords make no mention of the food given before
or luring the experiment, shows how little at
tention is paid to one of the most important
considerations in the production of milk and
beef. Some sharp breeders, perhaps, may
neglect to state the food consumed, so that
the entire credit may be given to the cow.
They would like to hae the cow considered
as the rrtator of milk and butter, and not
merely as the machine to manufacture it out of
food. But the time has gone by when this
kind of miracle is believed in, and the science
of the day require that every fact should be
stated to give a clear understanding of the
test. No test is complete without a statement
of the kinds, quality and quantity of food
given per day before and duriug the trial. The
great question betw i-en tho breeds, in a dairy
point of view, is, which produces milk and
butter cheapest per quantity and quality?
This can only be determined by accuiato ex
periment; and the experimenters on the differ
ent breeds may as well begin in earnest to
solve this point, for much is lost by delaying
it.
Some engines are more economical of fuel
than others, and there ecu be little doubt that
somo animal machines are more profitable in
production than others. But it will probably
Le found, vfter tho most accurate tests are
made, that all breeds increase iu productive
ness as they are improved 111 capaiity for
digestion, aud that this capacity improves
gradually as the system of feeding improves.
