Tho stallion la yenetally pampered in idlcnets which destroys bin ambition; overloaded with flesh, which obatruets bii action; aud over-t-iakeu in tlm atuil, which caiiica him to get lank, leggy, ill-formed, worthless colt. To avoid these degenerating ell'ccta, the siromust Iks trained up to the highest state of constitu tional vigor, so a to generate, tho same health and vigor in bis ollspring. It is a truism in animal physiology, that the moat active or gans will reproduce their own activity. It is tbo great muscular activity of the aire, spd ncrvoui energy of the dam, that ttamps the impress of speed and bottom upon their colts. . ' "Condition" in Uorses "Condition" ban much to do with the ques tion of ability to undergo severe labor in in clement weather without uuduo hazard. Con dition in a state of the body not acouiied in a day, as all experienced horsemen know. Without this the trotting or running horse is well understood to posst-as no hardiness; in other word", no power of ciidurauco under bard pushing, and at tho samo.time a viUl stamina that will onable tbo possessor to want off disease, though hard pressed and over heated. An attempt, often mudo by the novice; to put a horse in condition for hard labor by suddenly increasing hit feed, is inev itably followed by failuie. Only a system of prudant, steady feeding, daily, vigorous excr ciso of tho muscle being practiced at tho same time, will iniure success. If this bo omitted, the animal will perspiro freely with even moderate exertion. His head will bo found to run up in tho frequency of his motion, thumping against tho ribs more or lest vio lently. Thi tun cosily bo detected by placing the ear over tho region of the heart, or, in fact, ovor any part of tho ohoit in proximity to the heart. Suddenly feeding tho horse up lixe a tendency to thi. Steady muscular exertion builds against this tendency.and vir tually removes it, if tho practice bo thoroughly carried out. Do not mistake bv sunnoainu that these results will only follow fast work. A severe pull even a single effort, if lovero will cause a vigorou spasmodic effort of the heart aa though the animal had been brought to his speed undor the lash.

Why hive these all under one roof f When thin in (ho case, the lots of animals, bay, grain and machinery by fire in terrible. It amounts' inmully, in the United States, to hundreds of thousands, ytn, perhaps to several millions of dollar. And this is not only a great pri vate, but a public loss, inasmuch an tho com munity is hereby deprived of very choice valuable, breeding animals, tho destruction of which cannot bo made up for yearn, and possi bly never. Tho barn should be devoted to the storage of hay anT other fodder only. '1 he building for the grain, steam envino and machinery for grinding ought alno to stand by itself, some dii'anca from all others. .Stables should lc in separate buildings, uach accommodating not over ten to twenty head of animals. If these are tied up there, it should be in such a man ner that they can bo instantly unloosed; and thero sho'ild bu a sufheient number of doors hung behind, opening outside, to let them clear in a minute or two. If yards arc in the rear, theae should have wide gates, easily swung open, so that tho stock could pass through quickly into the adjoining held, cleir of being injured by the burning of any building.

Well, t-upposo it doc a trifle, in this not bitter tbali to sillier tho terrible Iohw.s that are constantly" t 'king place in the burning of whole herds.

He. Sheep Looses. California ho to regret the sacrifice of many Iambs and not a few sheep this year. Now and then, in former years, there have liecn comidcrablo louos in the upper half of the State by exposure to the violence of win try storms, but tho Ions comes from other causes ibis j car. In the north the sheep have have had a very comfortable time, the feed having started early, and tho weather having continued mild. But the sacrifice has come in tbo regions southward, where tho drouth, rather than tho cold, has oppressed the flocks Thousands of lamln have fallen beneath the hammer stroke at birth, becauie the feed was not cnouyh to nourish tlicir dams during suck ling, and tho death of the offspring was tho only chance of preserving the life of parents. Many men w ho have shown considerable en tcrpriso in securing well-bred bucks to im prove their flocks have been compelled to destroy tho young which t hoy have taken paius to secure. Tko lesson of this year' experi ence, as of tbo previous yiars in which losses have occurred, is plainly that efforts should be made to securo safety supplies of feed for tho unfavorable .season which is likely to come. And to do this thero must be an ollort by sheep o uers to reduce their operations to a farming basin, rather than trusting wholly to the old wandering system. Sheep without land is always dangerous. Hut tho whole troublo docs not coma to the landless sheep owners. Others, who might have had gooel supplies of hay, or straw, or corn fodder, have sold or burnt the ono or the other, thus iriisuoK nnouy 10 mo weatner to prcsere their enterprises. Thero will be less of this in future. Sheep owners aro continralK'com ing upon a more cnlightoncd system of care, and tho present year' experience will hasten the movement. Pacific liural Press. Tbo Difference. In the markets for live stock, every day furnishes abundant evidonce showing that he who judiciously and constantly strive to improve hi domestic animal, first b the in troduction of bettor blood, and next by im proved methods of fooding and sheltering, will urely get hi reward. Day after day scrubs of all kinds sell for prices far below thoao paid at tho same time for stock ef belter bl and in better condition, tho difference in the averago qualities being quite accurately indioated by the difference in the average price ot the (everal kind of stock. If farmers who are content to raise scrub, or oven those who think a good looking grade iro "will do a well a any" to top out their grade or inferior animals, would accompany their stock to market, they would see how greatly they err. If they should take care to chargo to their stock ivor) thing in tho shape of food, care, interest and all the stock coats them, and credit tho stock for all it re turns, thoy would many timo be greatly dis couraged; and if they would compare the accouut with a similar account kept with well bred and well-kept grade, tho would bo inoro than discouraged thoy would bo disgusted with their old ways aud turn to now. It is patt of tho duties of this papor to help breeder of good tock in tho work of educating tho general farmer in thi direc tion, lirttdcr't Gauttt. iflfKivllttil rttf y'li ""t" Founder. A disease that is too common in horses, is caused most fnqucntly by driving or working the animal till it is overheated or more or less exhausted, and then allowing him to cool off suddenly without nibbing dry. A horse driven bard for several miles and then hitched to a post in the open air in cold Winter weather, and perhaps forgotten by tho driver, who may be telling ttorics, or smoking a cigar by a warm fire, the next morning, if not sooner, it is noticed that tho animal ha not eaten well, and can scarcely move from the stall. Tho lamcncan may be chiefly in one limb, or in more than one. Dr. Creasy, in his recent lecture beforo the Connecticut Hoard of Agriculture, aaid that any case of founder can be cured if taken within thirty hour of tho attack. e The first thing to do is to place the horse'n feet in tubs of warm water, then blanket heavily, and pet the animal thoroughly warm all over. The lameness in caused by a stag nation of the blood in the feet, caused by be ing cooled too rapidly after exhausting labor. The warm water thins the blood, extends and soften the blood vessels, and favors increased circulation. In v ry bad cases, bleeding in tho feet may be necessary, though ordinarily it may be dispensed with. Knowing the cause of founder, it will e seen that it is much easier t' prevent than to cure this direaac alter it becomes established. In the first place, avoid very severe driving and over exhaustion, but if abuse of thii kind is unavoidable, see to it that the horse tint has rikcd hi life in the service of his master is not neglected at tho end of bis jturncy. Drive into a warm shed or barn free from cold draughts, and rub vigorously till tlie ani mal is dried off. (Jive warm water to drink and cover with warm blanket. In short, treat the horse juit an you would treat your self under like cirtunntaocen. Alfalfa -It Will Pay Sn Oregon. We take the follow iug from a late isaue of The Dalles (Wasco County) Moimtuinerr, and think it justified the heading wc five it Farmers cannot afford to let the opportunity pass, but should sow pastures. The average farmsr who now raises a few well bred ihcep, cattle and horses, is simply realising what will bo a necessity in the future. Seed down pan- tuici aud the reward will be great. What in true of alfalfa an below is equally true of many other cultivated grasses: Mr. H. S. Thompson, one of our most intel ligent, farmers and i-tock breeders in this vi cinity," was in our attics the pint week. We took occasion to it a ke enquiries as to his ex periments in Rowng this ncd anil its produ; tion. lie emphatically say it is a plant of very great importance to Oregon farming. His own experience has convinced him that it is not only good in the green state for cattle, sheep, horses and hogs, but that hogs will eat it dried, from tbo stack with avidity. That while he bed in California he had occasion to visit upon business one of its very large-it farit.iig,-tf.ablishmcnt9, where he saw hot's in tbo hot weather of July being fed from stack- of alfalfa hay, and Mr. Thompson says the hogs ate it with avidity and throve upon it. Mr. T. s-iys they cut this year from what they estimated and sowed for eleven acres, what he and bis men thought was forty tons of prime hay at two cuttings. This was tha second year from seeding. This experiment was at the Fossil ranch. He also says that his experi ments at liis Five Mile ranch have been very gratifying, and furnish him with abundant bay and feed. Mr. T. refers to experiments away up upon the dry high lands that have done well. The thanks of farmers who desire to learn what is reliable, arc due to Mr. T. for this account of his trial of alfalfa. A Bear Bunt. Ortffon C.ty Enterprise. A many of the readers of your valuable pa p?r would llko to hear from me, I will relate a little fun that I and my brother had on the 23d of December last. Myself and brother, J. C. Wyland, and two other dogs, went out in Kcarch of bears on what n known as Bear Creek, northwest of where I live. After a short hunt I discovered a ucst in the end of an old log into which I peeped, and an I peeped in tho old bear peepcil out; of courso I drew my sweet Betsy to my face and at the crack of the gun she fell back dead iu her nest. I called for brother, and ho came iu about two minutes. I told him to watch at the other end aa there might bo inoro bears in the log. I then called tho dogs, for they wero out hunting, and the old h"und came that hail uover seen a bear before. He rushed into the hollow log and seized au old War by tho head and brought her out and Bliook her furiously. About that time another ber.r ran out at the other end of tho log, and with inick and deliberate aim my brother put a bullet through tho head of that one. Now just imagine the difficulty to get our meat home, which was about three miles? But proud of our day's work, wo managed to do tbenecer sary work, knowing Christina was then near at hand. We had a jolly roast, you bet. A. J. WVLAND. Th Fat of Small Fanner. Wall Walla Statesman. The large farmer of the country will even tually swallow up those of moderate means, as they have small fanner in other countries, unleu though being forewarned tho latter are forearmed. Tho strength, independence aud prosperity of a nation depend upon the pros perity of it tmall landholders, and if they do not tako ear and protect themselves in this free republio thoy must not expect others to care for them, Large laud proprietors havo. ineir interest to care lor, ami u tney are not true to their own responsibilities, who will as sume responsibilities for them ? Between the large and small land holders there need be no antagonism, Tho former, it is truo, occupies the vantage ground, thnueh when wo urtre uKu mo biiii.Ii khu noitiero to co-operate, iu order succesafully to compote with their more favored brother fan.ieri-, wo do not desire to bco animosity engendered, We hope to en ouurago only a fair and honorable rivnlry iu business. When we apeak of largo farmers swallowing up the tmaller ones, wo do not uso tho metaphor in any souse to cause ill feeling between the two, but to point out inovitablo consequences, unless some olfbrts are made by which tho small farmers can compete with the larger ones upon equal forms. Co-operation iu its broadest sense is the friend of tlio aver age farmer, Thump in Hot - I have heard and read a great deal about the euro of thumps in pigi. The complaint usually cornel from thoce who havo theiriows overfat at farrowing, or keep them confined in small pen or yards, the sow havinir, per haps, been overfed for fair. I think br. edcrs make a sad mistake in feeding their best brood sows for tho show pen. Wo are compelled by most fair associations to either show our sows in pig, or to swear they have produced n litter within 'the year; they are fed, likewise, to the detriment of the next generation of pigs. Where sow are fed so high before farrowing, and kept in clone pens, as they are compelled to be during the fair, it is very injurious to tho constitution of the pigs. Let your br od sows have tcccas to a giasn, clover or rye pis ture the year tountl; give them plentyof fresh dirt and water, acd don't feed them too ri'l food. Oct the best lioar (of whatever brood you choose), alwaj s a pure one, and you can raise healthy pigs, that will make good feed era, to return a f.ir percentage for your labor and feed.
