1 ' I . ' J I !
Bulk In ths Manure Heap,
Qnantity is all the farmer seems to desire in
his maun re heap. Ho does not stop to con
sider tho qnalitr nor valno, but judges it by
tho number of cubic feet it occupies. And yet
thorn Is as much variation in the composition
of the mannri in ths farm heaps ai there is in
the diffsrsat grades fit snimals on a farm.
Take a tn of well rotted manure, as it is
nsnally found on every farm, and it w.ll con
sist of abaut COO pounds of organic matter and
abnt (W pounds of mineral matter. This ih,
in round numbers, 000 pounds of dry matter.
The romaining MOO pounds is water. And to
still fnrthrr reduee tho actual value, as far as
the smallest amount will demonstrate, there
is much valueless matter in tho dry 000
pounds, for of that amount only 12 pounds are
potaili, 8 pounds phosphoric acid, and 1.1
pounds nitrogen, giving a total of only 33
pounds. This shows badly against the farm
er's prospects and hopes from his ton of well
rotted barnyard manure; but nevertheless this
conclusion has been arrived at after caroful
experiments and tests.
And to still further detract from the value
ef the heap, it is to be observed that the
above spplies only to good manurethat has
been well composted, protected and managed.
In manure heaps that havo been expiscd to
the best of the sun and drenching rains the
amount of mineral matter is still less. These
twrlro pounds of actual potash are valued nt
SI, the phosphoric acid at 80 cents an 1 the
nitrogen at about $2.2.1 total value of the
ton of bxrnysJd manure, gt.O.'i. These prices,
of ennrsft. fluctuate, and may bo at times
higher or lower. The actual .potash is dorived,
in commercial salts, from tho sulphate and
muriate, the acids in the s.-.ltB merely adding
to the bulk, but, hung combined with tho
ptaM, must be used with it. So with the
phosphoric acid and nitrogen.
Tlmre is in the manure heap, however,
small'prnpoitions of matter that are not mid
among commercial fcrtiliern, such as mag-
firm, iron, common salt and carbon. Tin
litter is in the manure heap in good quantity,
but is not considered valuable. Chlorine is
bought in the muriate of pot-isb, at d even in
lime we finl magnesia. The lion is not do
sired. Hut these articles aro not sold as such
in the usual commercial fertilizers, and farm
ers slo nt expect to find them tlicro.
Then there are Miany conipoun Is formed by
the vegetable acids in the manure heap en
ttrely unknown. A constant movement of the
partieUs is in jirogresi therein, and new com
pounds are formed dailv. Still, if tho pmper
inyrrienti nro not added to the heap for the
manufacture of first clasi manure no cliemicV
process esn create it. The true value and ef
ficiency of the manuro are derived from that
which thu farmer adds to it. It is a mistake
t supx-,io that anything will make gcod
miniirn. Anything will increase the bulk mid
assist in retaining the uutri'ive qualities, but
after bulk has been acquired we must oxpend
Ulor to haul it to tho fields.
Tho preservation of manure is one of the
rnest important matters for the farmer'a atten
tion. It is usually the method with him to
hanl everything to the barn yard to be
trampled by rattle, and tlicro remains until it
is reidy to be heaped. After being heaped,
he thinks he has done his duty until ready to
haul it out. During this inerval a fow drench
ing rains will deprive it of all that it is valua
ble, and the scorching rays of the sun will
assist in this deteriorating process. All
manure then should be kept under shclUr
not a very sight, close roof, but in such man
ner as to protect it against licing drenched. A
few leaks here and there that will admit some
water aro bcnsficial, csro boing required to
guard against leaching only. As to exposure
to the sun, that should never bo done under
any cirenmstances.
The bl el;, disagreeable stud" that flows
;iu ay in thu drains nftcr heavy rains cair.c
olT tho wealth of tho fanner with it, leaving
tho dross for him to haul to tho lick's. Hut
tin 'the bulk still icmaini the fanner content
himself with thu reflection that lie has ndded
so many loads of manuro to his fiuldr, mid
when ban est arriroi ho is ready to declar
that farming does not pay. Ho has but to
guard against loss in his management, and hull
the battle is won. l'rotect tho manure heap
for it in your bank that contains tho wealth of
tho farm.
Cotton Shipments.
Everything indicates that cotton will soon
out a figure in our produeo reports. As wo
hive shown from time to time, there nro ex
periments being tried in nearly nil parts of tho
State from Tohama to Los Angeles, and thu
weight of experience has been favorable
Kern county has usurped the place which was
held some years ago by Merced county, al
though the latter still grows cotton aud may
yet be the banner county. We read in a Da
kerstleM paper that IMI bales of cotton were
shipped from the llelloview farm to San Fran
isse the past-week, for the use of the Oregon
woelen mills, located at Salem, the capitol
town of the State, which are noted for the fino
eassimeres and blankets they turn out. Thu
agsnt of the company through whom this
transaction was effected says this cotton is
superior to the article they have heretofore
imported from the cotton States.

Selecting Breeding Horses.
Our readers havo not failed to sec that the
Journal has an enduring faith In good, useful
horse stock. Under the term "useful," we,
of courso, include good horses for every use,
whether this be to hitch to a three-ton truck
load or to a hundrod-pound road wagon. Tlicro
is no better time for the farmer to plan for
Spring than during the leisure hours of Win
ter. If it is desirable to chango brooding
stock, with a view to improvement, there is no
better timo to do this than during the period
between now and tho season for coupling.
Sottle down upon the description of horse you
think it wiso to breed, as you'aro situated,
and cost about for a foundation, if you have
not already got it on your farm, Tho enter
prise, too, among the stallion owners has
never been moro sctivo than now, and tho
range for selection will bo ample. Through
the experienco acquired in past years, while
the opportunities have not often been so good
as could bo desired, nor tho foundation such
as was approved, lessons havo been learned
that should be equal to any emergency.
Farmers havo too often deceived themselves
by adhering to a horse because ho was good at
farm work, not looking lar enough ahead to
sec that if sold for hard street service, hislegs
or hoofs, or perhaps both, would fail him.
The dealer is not slow to see these tendencies,
and cither discounts heavily, or rejects alto
gether. Tho foot and leg of the horse aro a
study mastered but by few; yet, every man
who breeds from a single pair of marcs should
ream, paitly by reading, but mainly by obser
vation, the peculiarities of hoof and limb that
will carry a horse on hard pavements at least
one-half of his working life, without his be
coming a confirmed cripple. Aire Stock

Cheese Factory Floors.
Cheese factory floors aro generally places
prolific in foul odors. The jvhoy spilled upon
them gets into cracks and crevices, or into
the grain of tho wood, which becomes soft by
much wetting, and soon sours and rots, to fill
the room with unsavory fumes. These do the
double mischief of allccting the health of the
occupants and tho quality of cheese they man
ufacture. In tho workman they produeo a
feeling of lassitude a sense of dullness,
hc.iM'ncc aud exhaus'ion, as if excessively
fatigued, though the work has only been
mode' ate and light. In the checso they pro
duce n flavor corresponding with the charac
teristics of thu fumes from the floor, ami when
pretty lutein, the cheese acquires a sort of
sour and metallic taste, as if the milk had
stood in rusty vessels. To axoid theso disa
greeable eflects the floors should bo made
perfectly tight, and inclined to a fixed line of
depression, so that all slops shall bo quickly
drained away, ami as soon as tho work of the
day is over, the whole floor should be wetteel
over with n weak solution of copperas Hater,
which should be kept on hand and dissolved
in advance, to li ready for uso. Copperas is
ono of thu most powerful antiseptics and dis
infectants known, and a very weak solution
only will be nccesary. It will preserve the
tloor as ell as disinfect the room. Ex.
Abortion In Cows.
If in tho Winter season, ai.d the cows are
kept stabled, tho surroiilidinps should be care
fully looked nftcr. There should be ampb
ventilation, I nt great care sin uld be used that
tlicro arc no drafts of air. Thu barn never
tduiuld ho closed up tight over niulit, nor the
doors thrown widn open during the ilay, while
thu stock is in. It is a noticeable fact that in
largo city livery aud horse barns, more horses
are lost by this treatment than by almost all
other causes combined.
While ample ventilation is necessary, we
should not onl v avoid a draft, but we should
not havo too many cracks for tho wind to
whistlo through.
Thu surroundings as to drainage are essen
tial for L-ood health; and it is particularly im
portant that there bo no 'looking manure heap
near the barn doors or w iudow s, where a gen
tle breczu will waft foul odors upon the stock,

Shipping: at San Francisco.
A correspondent of llio. Tribune, writing
from San Francisco, under data of December
ISth, siyss It is n fine fight to sco the wheat
fleet lying nt anchor here, or taking on cat
goes nt tho wharves. There aro ninety vevcls
now in port. They nro tho finest specimens of
naval architecture afloat, nt lomt among sail
ing vessels, and aro of many different types.
Tho handsomest arc undoubtedly the oik
ships lately built in New England. These
viwols have very tall niul slender spirs nod
long yards, graceful hulls, ami n stylo that
elicits admiration at sight. No handsomer
vessels nro over seen bore than such ships as
tho Samaria, tho A, J. Fuller, tho Harvey
Mills, and their sisters from the down-East
yards. Tho British iron clippers come next.
Thoy aro very seldom of largo airo. They
average about 1100 tons register. Along with
the errcat ships in port here thero are seen
many smaller onea of Pacifio cost construc
tion, which aro as well worth looking at aa
any. Tho Pacific coast lumber schooner is the
most beautiful craft of its rig in the whole
country. The builders have made the evolu
tion of this craft a specialty.

of his voieo :
"Waiter! fetch tho vinegar cruet."

Orange Kews.
The following letter gives some inveresting

aro glvl to get, and think if tho Sisters would

would help the cause,
AiTi.r.euTK, Or., Jan, 32, 1882.
Kditor Willamette Farmer :
We had a public installation of our officers
in the Washington Orange yesterday. There
were a gnat many Sisters present, which was
veiy flatteripg to us, and was nncxpcctcel
here, whero the Orango is considered as some
thing very detrimental to the IS. and B. of
this neighborhood, because they aro trying to
help the poor man anil dig themselves out of
the mire. It was the intention to have a
party, but owing to the death of Brother J.
W. Topping, ono among our best members, it
was put off. The ofliccrs were installed by
Deputy Master William l'crnoll, assisted by
Brother William Bayso. The officers .wero :
O. F. Topping, Master; William l'crnoll,
Ovcriccr; Sister K. E. Topping, Lecturer;
William Bayse, Steward; William Hernott,
Assistant-Steward; II. II. Sparlin, Chaplain;
Frank Topping, Secretary; II. Doahne, Treas
urer; Louis Hayes, Oato Keeper; Julia
Doahne, Ceres; Lizzie Payne, Pomona; N.
N. l'crnoll, Flora; Hachcl Sparlin, Lady As
sistant Steward. After the installation there
was a collation spread, to which all did jus
tice, and I am inclined to believe that our
Sisters left with a btttcr feeling towards the
Grange. If they did not enjoy themsc ves it
was no fault of our. It woulel have been
more pleasant but lor the recent sad affliction
which had fallen on Brother Tcpping's family,
also our Orange, which each member keenly
felt. It is the firt loss in our Orange. He
was a young man for whom every one bad a
warm fcclinir, for he was pleasant and
courteous to all, and will be sadly missed by
thu Brothers and Sisters.

The Practical Solution of a Problem.
Somo years ogo wheat began to fail as a
staple in Southwestern MinhesoU, and farm
ers had to tick profit in other industries or
wend their way wotward. So many pursued
the latter course that one acquainted in old
Fillmoic county wou'el hardly run amiss of fa
miliar faces iu the wheat growing sections of
Dakota. Those who staid found themselves
with depreciated land on their hands which
no ono wanted to buy. The money value had
apparently tone with tie big wheat crops;
but prospe rity is returning, and many farmers
rca!i7e t' at when King Wheat departed they
lost a despotic nnd exacting master. Some of
them could scarcely be induced to undertake
its culture again m tho exclusive manner of
the past. The reign of a diversified industry
lias brought with it more homo comforts, more
leisure, more culture and sociability. From a
huge wheat camp, as it were, the country is
becoming a community; anil the chango fo
much dreaded is proving, in fact, a bles:
ing. Already there is a slight reaction from
thf great tumble in real estate values, and ere
long, as confidence is restored, p'iccs will
reach their old level, not to stop there, but to
go steadily on until tho high-water mark of
down K st has been reached. Gcv. Horatio
Seymour's prophecy eloes not seem so unlikely
of fulfillment now- as it did a few years ago.
The wheat idolators listened with ill-disguised
contempt when he told them of the eventful
failure of wheat. Their faith was unshaken
in the capacity of our soil for perpetual wheat
culture. He then to'd them that when wheat
had failed this section would become the
moat famous in the Union for dairy products.
He predicted this opinion upon the character
of the grasses, nir and water. That ho was
right is a fact becoming evident to many, and
will, at no distant day, be noted by many
more. 6'orr. Urrrtler't Gazette.
Upsetting Moses,
Jim Manly began to talk. "I say, Deacon,
Darwin's theory of evolution is a little haid
on the first chanter of Genesis. Of course
we elon t know yet how it will turn out, but
it looks a little as though liey were going to
upset Moses." Tho Deacon made no an
swer. He surely must have heard Jim's re
mark. I'rcae'iitly 1 o was observed to be
counting his fingers slowly, and with pause
for thought between each enumeration
After a while Jim ventured to ask : "Count
ing up your saw-los, Deacon, aren't you J"
"Xo," (.aid the Deacon; "I'll toll you. oui
remark set mo to thinking. I was just
counting up how ninny times in the courte
of human history bomebody has upset
Moses, Fiwt of all two old jugglers naireel
Jamie and Jnmhrcs undertook tlii?, lut
they failed. Then a, certain king named
1'Ji.ir.toh went at tho work of upscttinr.
Ho must havo found it moio of a work than
he nnticipited, for )io has not reached home
yet. Then thieo leaders of liberal thought
Korah, Dathan nnd Abiram went at the
job. They failed in tli upsetting part, but
they secured a bit of a ranch for them
selves, which they aud their children hold
i)uiot poasossion of until this day. Later on
a king named Nobuchadnezzur entered
upon tho upsetting business. He did not
succeed cither. Ho spent seven years
chained to a stump, and w heu lie had served
out his time ho had changeel his mind, and
was a sadder and wiser man. His successor
met with still greater disaster, and in a simi
lar attempt. Since that time there have
been no end of persona who havo tried 'o
upset Moses. Some ancient heathen, Celsus
and Porphyry and Julian the apostate, and
latterly thess German critics and scientists,
so called, are at the tame thing, Years ago,
when I chanced to be in Boston, I heard of u
meeting of Freethinkers at a place called
Chapman Hall. I could not resist tho
temptation to go just onco, aud hear what
thoy said. I found about tweuty persons
there; thrcu or four of them were women;
nil the icbt were mon. And what do yru
think thoy wore engaged in f The old outer
prino of upsetting Moses. And yet Moses
has to-day iu the synagogues of Boston
moro persons that preach him than he ever
had before. It is astonishing how mnch
upsetting it takes to upset Moses. It is
like upsetting a granite cube. Turn it on
which faco you will, there it stands as solid
as ever. Tho cube is used to being upset, and
docs not mind it. It always amuses me
when I hear a fresh cry from somo new
quarter averring that some man whom no
body has ever before heard of has found out
a sure way of doing what all others have
failed in. And now here comes Jim Manly;
anil Moses has to be upset again. Ah, well I''
and tho Deacon sighed. There was a roar of
laughter which made the rafters of the saw
mill ring, and all joined ii except Jim.
