BUVTIMO THE BAREEM OBOUND-DEER IN
EASTERN OREOON.
Editor Willamette Fanner :
Being in (to me) an entirely new situation,
Tery diflerent in many respects from tho De
cember life I have known in the Willamette
Valley for tho pist thirty-seven years, it
occurs to me that a few lines descriptive of
ono phase of life Kait of the Cascades might
not be without interest to many of your
readers.
'i To call December a harvest mouth may
Siound strange in Western Oregon, yet to a
class of men in Eastern and Southeastern
.Oregon that word may not bo inappropriately
used.
t True, in killing animals they have neither
tended nor fed, they may be said to "reap
where they have not sown," still the harvest
is important to them, and not beneath notice
to the commerce of the State, as the following
estimate relative to this portion of Wasco
county will show. During this season, so far,
.tho most intelligent estimate I have been
able to get from parties connected with the
business is that twenty thousand deer skins
have been sold in Prineville alone. This will
not seem a large estimate wheu it is known
tat two brothers named Martin delivered at
one sale four thousand pounds of dried deer
skins, which are known to average four
pounds each, making ono thousand skins as a
single and early contribution to the trade.
These skins are nearly all of the Barren
Ground (or mule) deer species, and have sold
at forty cents per pound, which would make
$1,600 as the value of the delivery of the
" Martin Bros., and $32,000 worth that Prine-
ille has received. The young men mentioned
..'mm aid to make a business of hunting. There
1 much talk amongst citizens (both those who

!'for the pelts alone, and it seems well,cstab
'lished that it is done to a considerable extent
'by both white and Indian huuters. Indeed,
from this date (Uec. lo) unui me ciose oi iiio
legal hunting season, animils are frequently
hot that aro not (it for food, and are conio
quently left after having been skinned by the
hunter. As a rule, however, the carcass of the
deer is deemed of equal value to the akin, and
the citizens in the vicinity where I write save
all they can of both. This is on the northern
edge of an extensive tract called "the desert,"
extending southward up the Deschutes val
ley from Camp Polk. To this (so called)
desert the mule deer comes in great numbers
the mows of Winter cover the higher
plaips and surrounding mountains. The set
ters here always speak of the game "coming
own." though I find various theories as to
herothey come from and "whither they go.'
en Spring is succeeding Winter they

d mysteriously are cither gone to other uis
or are evenly distributed to live their
11 and solitary lives amidst the covers of
is desert and the adjoining highlands and
untains. While they are hero most of the
'citizens who care for the sport or profit, of
bunting, hunt, and the two brothers Reuben
laid Joseph Claypool, make a combination

leer, camping out five nights. These they
lauled to their hornns, dressed, cut up and
ut under the curing and consumingproccsses
ey find most useful to themselves. This is
eir third hunt this season, and they will
robably make at least as many more this
inter. In order to hunt without waste,
ey use each a .swift and courageous dog,
Inch goes with them in leash until a shot is
red that is believed to have taken effect,
then the do? is lot go. With the sagacity and
nowlcdge of experience the dog pursues if
llood has been drawn by tho Bhot, and very
arely fails to secure a stricken deer. Often
Be fight is fierce between the dog and the
tame, tho mule deer generally coniiug to bay
i open ground. These dogs used by the
laypool brothers are mongrels, the blood of
lie greyhound predominating, They are both
eet and courageous. They seire by the nose
liainly, and it is a sight for a Landseer to see
og and quarry standing on their hind feet
inlv. pritTftrwrl in a lifa and death struccle
fffhich, with man's assistance, almost uni-
i(formly ends by the death of the deer. The
mule deer is, how ever, a very formidable op
ponent when uuwounded. A few years ago
ene was found near this place ith his horns
so firmly inserted in the body o! a large pan
ther that he could not extricate himself, and
panther and stag wcte found dead together,

At the rate of killing now going on, their
number must be diminishing very fast. The
extraordinary price of peltry and the success
of such hunters as the Martin brothers stimu
lating many to hunt for the gain. In the dis
trict of which Camp Bolk is the northwest
corner, a square of eighteen miles each way
has within it thirty-six hunters at this date,
hat is a hunter for eery nine square miles.
On account of the fact that the game mostly
seeks the wannest and best sheltered portion
of the district, the actual ground hunted upon
is reduced to less than half of that area to
each hunter. The hunters follow the general
movement of the game; shooting begin with
daylight and is continued through the day,
much of the firing being at long range with
the game running. As a consequence, much
ammunition is thrown away. It is severe
labor to hunt on foot in this sage and juniper
ountry, and though these thirty-six hunters
may average one deer each daily, perhaps, one
third of them will get two each, leaving a like
proportion to get nothing. The general prac
tice u to drive out to soma spot on the desert
here a supply of w ater for camp cm can be
secured. Some regular hunter nse a tent.
but generally a slight temporary shelter of
juniper boughs is constructed, from which
shooting commences, and to which the gamo
is brought on horseback, after being drawn
where killed. From camp it is hauled by
wagon to tho homestead of the hunter, where
as I have said, it is dressed, cut up and cured.
It is a unique Bight to see the dwelling house
of a settler and all his outhouses and barns
clothed, so to speak, with deer skins stretched
ontto dry, but that is a frequent sight in this
vicinity, and around many of the homesteads
here, tho pine trees arc used for the same
purpose, each good sized tree having two
skins nailed upon its face. J. Mimo.
Sheep Killing Animals.
Douglas County, Or., Dec. 26, 1881.
Editor Willamette Farmer:
Rainy weather And long evenings allow the
farmer to spend a good deal of time by his
fireside where he can Btudy over his affairs,
and form plans for the promotion of his intei
ests, and to do this successfully he must have
the experience of others as well as his own,
and he naturally turns to the Farmer for the
necessary information.
I have long wished that some of your cor
respondents would give their experience in
disposing of sheep - killing animals; and in or
der to give the subject a start, I will give a
few ideas from my own experience. And first,
I should place the coyote as being the most
universal pest, having a more extensive hab
itation, and causing more loss to the shepherd
than any animal that I can name. If there is
a place on the Pacific coast where they are not
found, I do not know where it is. The bear,
panther and big wolf are each bad in their
place, but I believe they are more generally
confined to the foothills, not far from heavy
timber. Anil the dog deserves a place as a
sort of silent partner in the mischief. His op
portunities are rather better than animals of a
more wild nature, and he often gets oft with
out suspicion. Whenever I catch a rambling
dog with strychnine, I feel sorry that I did
not catch one or two more.
The aggregate loss to sheep men fiom wild
animals and dogs is immense. The total sum
is greater in Douglas county, in my opinion,
than the State and county taxes on all the
flocks therein. There certainly ought to be an
effectual bounty law, with provisions so liber
al as to induce hunters to make an effort to
kill wild animals. Sheep raising is hardly sec
ond to any business in the State, considering
its net profits; and I often think, during these
dark fourteen-hour nights, how much valu
able property is out in the hills without any
protection whatever. It would certainly pay
to make a liberal reward for the scalps of
sheep-killing animals.
I have kept a few sheep for more than sev
en years past, and I have found strychnine to
be the most effectual check to wild animals of
anything I have tried. Sometimes I find a
sheep killed without knowing what killed it,
but no matter, whatever killed it will most
likely be around for another meal; and if you
kill it you are lucky, be it dog or wolf. But
you an tell a workman by his chips; each
animal leaves its mark in some way. If it is
an eagle you will see no largo bone) biokcn,
and where tho flesh is torn off it will show a
ragged appearance; besides you will nearly al
ways find a few white downy feathers on the
ground near by. If the ground is soft coyotes
and wild cats will leave their tracks in the
mud. Panthers will generally carry off the
catcass, and what they do not eat will cover
up with leaves or grass. Coyotes and wild
cats catch lambs by the throat or head. I of
ten find lambs bitten through tho top of the
head, with a holo cut through the side to tho
heart and entails, without much flesh being
taken. I suppose they do this to get the
warm blood as soon as the lamb is killed. I
read, in a work on zoology, that carnivorous
animals never kill their prey merely for the
pleastue of killing. But when a coyote kills
ten or fifteen lambs in a single nisht, if it is
not for the pleasure of killing, they must cer
tainly be very fastidious in selecting the por
tion they consume.
I generally put out strychnine in this way;
I cut the meat in pieces about the size of a
hen's egg, and put a grain or less of poison in
a very small bit of tissue paper, which, when
rolled up tight, is no larger than a grain of
wheat; then pour a littlo melted lard over
them, and, after cutting a small hole to the
center of each piece of meat, push a paper of
poison into each piece. This plan will prevent
the meat from getting the tasto of the poison,
and the animal will not be afraid to eat it. I
prepare forty or fifty baits in this way, and
thrust a little sharp stick in each piece. Then
late in the afternoon I start out, having a
beef's or hog's pluck to drag on the ground by
one hand, carrying the baits with the-other;
and every hundred yards or so I set a stick,
with bait on it, in the trail where I drag the
pluck. This is a piece of work that always
pays; and if you do not always find your
game, you need not feel discouraged as am
mals will sometimes go a long way beforo they
die. Nearly always, after pulling out bait, I
can tell by the quiet actions of the sheep that
the cause of disturbance is removed, for the
present at least.
In conclusion, if I have made any erroneous
statements, I hope other of your correspond
ents who have had more experience or observ
ed more closely, will correct them by throw
ing more light on the subject.

WHAT BEES ACCOMPLISH.
By far the most serious difficulty in tho
process of honey collecting by bees arises from
the extremely minute quantity of nectar
which each flower yields, and from its being
dilute in some cases so poor in saccharine
matter that its sweetness is not appreciable
to the tongue. The strength of the sugary
fluid varies in different flowers, even in the
same flowers at different times. Consequently
the most direct way of estimating the yield
of honey is to ascci tain the actual quantity of
sugar in each flower. This can be easily done
by chemical methods. If we take a large
number of flowers, wash out their nectar, and
determine the sugar in the solution, we can
calculate from the number of flowers used tho
average amount of sugar in each flower with
the greatest precision.
Experiments conducted in this way showed
each flower of fuchsia to contain little more
than the tenth part of a grain of sugar. In
monkshood the amount was rather less than
the tenth of a grain, while in the everlasting
pea it was found to be thrce-twentiethB of
a grain for each flower. In smaller flowers
the quantity is proportionately less. Thus
ach flower of the little naturalized American
water-blink only contained six-hundredth of
a grain, and in those minute flowers which
grow together in compact masses the amount
was still smaller. A raceme, consisting of
twenty flowers to each vetch, only yielded
five-hundredths for the grain, or little over
one five-hundredths of a grain for each floret
One head of common red clover gave a little
over one-tenth of a grain (exactly 1224). Now
each head of clover crntains about sixty dis
tinct flower tubes, each of which must there
fore have a portion of suar not exceeding the
one five-hundredths part of a grain. The
proboscis of the bee must consequently be in
serted into five hundred clover tubes before
one grain of sugar can be obtained. There
are 7,000 grains in a pound, so that for every
pound of sugar procured in this way 3,500,000
flower tubes must bo emptied. Honey, how
ever, only contains three-fourths of its weight
of dry sugar; so that every pound of sugar is
equivalent to more than two and a half mil
lions of clover tubes sucked by bees 1
This shows what an amazing amount of
labor they must perform. Their industry
would appear indispensable to their very ex
istence. These amounts also reveal to what
an extent the visitation of flowers must go on
in the insect world, and help us to undei
stand how it is that flowers are so dependent
on insect for fertilization, so that we can well
believe the forms of flowers to have been de
termined iu reference to the insects frequent
ing them, and that the colors of the petals may
servo to attract insects by way of advertise
ment; as colored bills attract the eyes of busy
men. This viow of the use of color and odor
in flowers may seem to smack too much of
trade and commerce, nevertheless it is the
view to which science now gives undivided
support. We have been so long accustomed to
look on the beauty of the floral world as if it
were exclusively for man's gratification, that
it is difficult for ui to believe that the deli
cately perfumed and showy petals of the rose
or lily should be primarily intended for the
plant possessing them. But it must be re
membered that each organism lives for itself,
has its own laws, and docs not possess any
organ which is exclusively for the advantage
of another. Good Worth,
The Outlook for Wool.
Perhaps, there may bo those who think our
views of the wool trade, somewhat optimistic,
but the present condition of the market in
wool and woolen goods at home and abroad
justify the ground we have taken that there
was nothing to indicate a decline, but rather
an advance in desirable wools before the new
clip will come in. Let us see what the situa
tion is now so that wo may base teasunable
calculations thereon for the future.
The recent sales of Colonial wool in London
opened with a good attendajce of buyers both
English and foreign, and the competition was
Bulhcient to force prices up considerably. The
result was an advance of fiom five to ten per
. .. ll.n .l..!nn b.ln. nl Cn4. DA.I. I - .
which concluded the regular series of that pe
riod. So much for the London market
which is an indication of thu wool trade of ths
v, orld.
What is the condition in the United States?
The U. S. Hconomitt said, in a lato issue:
"Although it is out of our province to give
advice, we in this instance did so for the pub
lic good, not that we have one interest at
heart more than other. But to be candid, the
wool and woolen interest disclose an extiaor
dinary state of things. What are the facts ?
Simply this:
I. The woolen mills of Amenca are running
with headlong speed to supply the demand to
fill orders, and cannot catch up to them. One
party has been found who found fault with
the goods not being up to sample, and was
told to return them and close up his account
The aseut paid freight on tbe goods, and sold
them again at an advance. Cloth jobbers and
clothiers cannot afford to reject goods now,
while the raw material is iroing up the world
over.
II. The mills in their efforts to break prices
have kept out of the market, and are lightly
stocked.
III. The farmers have sold three-fourths of
the clip, and the remainder is held at prices
which Keep the manufacturer and dealer ten
and sixteen cents apart on the scoured pound.
IV. The stock ol domestic ami foreigii on
our seaboard markets was never smaller at
this season,
V. The wool markets of the world are far
above relative values iu Amenca, and wools
cannot now be imported unless at a further
advance."
The Boston Journal, of recent date, says:
"While oar market has been so comparatively
quiet, we notice no disposition to urge sales
at any concessions. Holders are confid. nt
that all the desirable fine and medium wools
now on hand will be wanted, and are in litter
ect about selling at present. Manufacturers
are always inclined to purchase lightly at this
season, unless some special inducements are
offered, as most of them are engaged in taking
an accoant of stock and looking for the results
of the season's business."

The Toronto Mail of December 7th says :
The Northern Pacific Railroad Company,
under the management of Villard, is doing its
utmost, both with money and brains, to com
plete the route from Superior to the Pacific in
advance of our line. The competition between
the two is for tho immense quantity of grain
which will find its way over the first through
line, and which will continue to pass over that
line in preference to its competitor for a long
time alter its completion. Thero is thus a
grand race going on between the two. Mr.
Villard states that the Northern Paeific ill
bo finishod in time to ride by train from New
York to Portland, Oregon, via the Northern
Pacific on the first day of October, 18S3. But
many railway experts hchevo that the an
nouncement made by Sir John on behalf of
the syndicate is much more likely of accom
plishment, and that under tho push and vim
of the present company, the Canadian Pacific
railway win dc carrying its loaueu trains ue
fore its rival.
In commenting upon the above, the Seattle
P. I, says i
The improbability of the Canadian Pacific
beating the Northern Pacific in the race across
the continent seems too plain to warrant ar
gument or denial. The Northern Paciflo has
more miles of railroad already built in Wash
ington Territory alone than tho whole length
of the Canadian Pacific at present, and the
Northern Pacific in Washington Territory is
less than one-third the company's whole line.
Tho Northern Pacific is also building its road
much more speedily than its neighbor, and
has the intention of completing its entire line
in 1883, while the Canadian openly announces
its intention of taking until 1890.
