ffTJLLAMETTE FA11MER: PORTLAND, OREGON, APRIL 14, 1882. j&totJt. Sheep on the Farm. A correspondent of the Farmer' Herlew makes somo good points in the following plen for sheep keeping: ' On almost every farm arc fields and pastures where weeds grow which horses and cattle would never think of eating. On this sheep will browse and thrive. Turn them into these pastures early in the sprinc, and they will take care of themselvis all the summer. The pasture must be proportionate to the numbt-r of sheep it is expected to sup pott. If too Kat a number arc turned into it, early in the season, they will keep it fed down so closely that the crop will bo a scant one all summer. But if the number is not too large for the range given, they will do well where other animals would starve. Nothing escapes them. They browse briars with great relish, and in fields where other bushes have begun to start, they will soon exterminate them, for they crop off every young shoot as soon as it makes its appearance. It is a good plan to divide your pasture into two or more fields. Let them run in one until they have cropped It pretty close. While they are doing tha the other will be getting a good start. By and by you can turn them into it, and the one they have occupied can have a chance to do something. In this way you will be likely to get better feed for them than j on will by allowing them full range of tlia entire pasture all the time. "No other animal is so no. lee ted as the sheep. In many instance? all the shelter thoy get in winter is what they can rind about the straw stick. This might answer tolerably H ell, nftor they have had a clianco to cat their way into it, as they soon will, if they could have the shelter thus made all to themselves; but generally eilves and colts are allowed to run with them, and the poor sheep hive to stand aside and give np the comfortable quarJ ters to their domineering neighbors, while they take up with what they can get. Shctp ought to be provided with a good pen or house, where they can find plenty of room and shelter from all the storms. No calves or colts should be allowed to run with them Sheep, according to the popular bebef, require little or no water. Tho id a is a wrong one. Sheep will drink a great deal if thoy get a clianco to. Because they can lio with little is no reason they should. They should have free access to a trough containing good water. 'Ihey should be fed with regularity, and be kept safely sheltered, If these are attended to, there is no difficulty in keeping sheep." Sheep increase very rapidly, and aside fiom the wool crop there will be the sale of lamb, or old shep, fiom which quite an amount of money can be realised, u en in a small flock. It cots comparatively nothing to raise a lamb. The principal cost of sheep raising is wintering, and if the farmer will keep an accountof all he expends on his flock, and also what he realizes from it, he will find, at tile end of the year, that his sheep have paid him better than anything else on the farm, The labor of taking care of them is next to nothing, and if they are given com fortable quarters they will not cat a great deal through the winter. Hay, with a small daily allowance of grain, is all they require. You haven't to grind feed forthem, or mix up slops and bed ami clean them as you do cat tle. Wool brings a good p-ice every sunim r, and mutton has been selling well for teveral past seasons. It costs but little to start with a small flock, and tho outlay, in most cases, proves to be an excellent investment. What a Common Cow Can Do. My attention being called to the large amount of butter made by some Jersey stock by the perusal of a cataloguo of thoroughbred Jersej 3 owned by J. H Walker, of Woices- ter, I find that he mentions a number of cows all registered with pedigree tracing back to great butter cows, from which I was induced to try what a common unregistered cow that I boucht in Brighton two jears ago with a calf by her side, paying for her and calf $45. She ha 1 a calf last March, milking close up to calving, and had to be put in dry order to stop giving milk before she calved, and being but three weeks dry, she gave from fourteen to sixteen quarts qf milk per day last sum mer, not giving below twelve quarts a day up to October. She calved March 21, ISSUr has been fed on hay with carrots, and two quar h of dry Bhorts per day; no extra feeding to force her to do more than usual On Decern bei 20 and 30, 1SS1, she gave respectively Gjf and 7 quarts of milk, which I set and churned all the milk; I churned the milk for the two da) 8 on January 1 and 2, 13SJ, from which I got full two pounds of butter, the sample which accompanies this statement being pin of the same. How larye a per cent of regis tered stock will do better! Cor. Mam. I'lotcimni. When to Feed Grain to Horses. Horcts are provided with an unusual devel opment of the salivary glands, and au enor mous quantity of saliva is secreted during the eating ot a feed of grain or hay. This copious supply of taliva is sufficient to moisten and dilute the food, to that it can be digt-sted per fectly without the help of water. Water is absorbed by the coats of the stomach, and en ters tho blood with such rapidity that a thirsty horse will drink more watsr than the stomach will contain at one time, and the water begins to pass off through the kidnejs in such a case after the lapse of a very few minutes. So that, know iug these fatts, or.e may naturally infer that a horse may be w atercd a few minutes before feeding ith more advantage than soon afterward, because in the former case the water has been ab sorbed before the food is swallowed, and the digestion cannot be interfered with by the presence of too much water in the stomach, as might happen in the latter case. The, Lett practice is that uiually followed, namely, to give the horse very little water en starting .-rOut to work, after feedin? in the morning; to water when coming in at noon and in the evening, before unharnessing and feeding, This gives time for the absorption of the water before the food enters the stomach. llural New Yorker. Five Acres Enough. Tho Chicago Breedert' Gazette says that ' a certain Iowa town there is a stock farm which may be thought worthy of more than a passing notice, since it shows how little, more than careful, intelligent mangement is needed to make a profitable business of stock growing. In this place are five acres. of which one and a quarter are occupied by the house, the garden, and by fruit trees and shrubbery. On the other three and three quarter acres stands an ordinary village barn and enclosures, in which over a hundred young pigs were frisking about their dams. The latter were all pure-bred Yorkshires, Berkshires and Jersey Reds, and most, if not all of the breeding animals were winners at the fairs in Iowa and other States. The food throughout the summer consisted largely of a mash made of heavy bran, with but little corn. The pigs from this stock sold for prices ranging from $30 to $35 per pair. Tho total outliy for food was $650 50, and the total income, above the amount paid for food was $1,025. Watering HorseB. Ono thing in the treatment of work horses in hot weather we are disposed to deprecate; iz : tho custom of watering them three times a day and no more. It is simply cruelty on the part of man toward his beast, to compel the team to plow or mow from early morning until noon, or from noon until night, without allowing it tho privilege of a refreshing draught. It is inconvenient, many times, to water tho team during the forenoon or af ternoon, and we are apt to think the time thus taken lost, but when the farmers' millen nium comes, there will probably be drinking in every field, supplied from Rome elevated spring, or from a running stream' In tlfe meanwhile time "Iot"in doing good, even though it may be in behalf of the dumb ani mals, is well "lost" it may be regained. Could they speak it might be to say that they would like to be treated in tho matters of tinie for food and drink, somewhat as we their wise masteis are accustomed to treat ourselves. Tiik Chicago Breeder's Gazette is "glad to see tho increasing interest taken in Guern sey cattle in this country. The usefulness and tho popularity of the Jerseys are insured. The more general introduction of the Guern sey will not harm the Jerseys, and the former, we fully believe, will give satisfaction. The average Bize is greater; probably from twenty to twenty-five per cent, greater ; this will be in favor of the breed with many dairy farm ers. A good many Guernsey cows, as seen on their native island, have suffi lient sizo and such form as mako them verv fair animals for the butcher when well fatted. The two breeds are so nearly allied in characteristics that were it m-t for herd-bonk restrictions, good results might come in many cases by crosses between them. We commend the Guernsey to those who, while liking the Jersoys, have looked for greater size and a somewhat larger flow of milk. The general verdict is that the milk of the Guernsey is at least equally rich with that of tho Jersey. The butter is even more highly colored. A farmer w ho grows both wool and wheat large and successfully says that it is his opin ion that the reason why the yield rf wheat per acre in the United States is only half as much as that of England, is because in Eng land the sheep are utilized in connection with grain-growing whilst here they are thought of only as wool and mutton-makers. O.v the 3d of January, 1882, the Hon. Thos. R. Giundy, of Springfield, Ky., slaughtered a Jer ey Red hog that was, at the date named tw en tj -seven months old. This fat1 porker " had been fed for four months, weighed. (.ros, 850 pounds, and netted 730 pounds, yielding five and a half kegs No. 1 lard; shoulders and hams baconed." Trimming Trees There aio frequently pleasant days in Feb ruary, says the Massachusetts Ploughman that the weather is not too cold for the fiuit grower to woikinhis orchard comfortably. As this is us tally a season of leisure, when such dajs come they should be improved by looking over the orchard, aud euttinir eff such limbs aj may ba thought necessary for the improvement of the orclurd. Limbs cut off at this season of the j ear, when the sap is comparativ ely at rest, leave a wound that can be more easily protected from the action of the weather than if cut a few months hence, w hen the sap is in motion. To trim a tree ju.t right, requires good judgment, a good eye and some experience, as well as good tools. The saw should be not only .sharp but perfectly straight, ami set wide enough to run easy ; the knife and the ax should also be sharp. To trim trees with poor tools is not only disagreeable work, but it is impossible to do the work well. Some nuke a mistake in trimming trees, by trimming too much in the middle, cutting not only laige limbs but also tha droit beariag spurs, leaving but a small limb. While it is desirable to cut out all limbs that cross the other limbs ami to keep the inside of the tree so that the fruit can be easily gathered, herd is a point beond v liieh it it not judicious to go, as some of the best fruit frequently grows in the center of the tree ; this is especially true of some varieties of apples. There are some pear trees that grow too high, and need to be cut off at the top, but to be headed in on all sides. In trimming small trees one thing should never be lost sight of ; .that is tho trunks should never be exposed to the hot run ; if the top dees not spread enough to shade it, a few inches of the lateral branches should be left to furnish leaves for shade. When large limbs are cut off the wound should be covered with gum shellac dissolved in alcohol, or white lea 1 mixed with very little oil. For catalogues of Turkish rugs and designs send to John B.

The following is the platform adopted by the Democratic State Convention on the 13th instant : The Democratic party of the State of Ore gon in convention assembled, cognizant of the important consequence depending upon its deliberations and atfiiming the principles of popular liberty and rights hid down by the founders of this Government, dp declare as follows : 1. That we favor honesty, efficiency and economy in eery department of the Govern ment, both State and Federal. 2. That we favor the equal protection of the rights of labor and capital under just laws. 3. That while werccosnize and respect the legal rights of railroad enterprises, we demand that our Legislatures, State and Federal, en act such laws regulating the same, as may be necessary to prevent unjust discrimination towards, and oppression of the people. 4. That we denounce the present tariff system as class legislation, favorable to the lew and oppressive of tho many, and we therefore demand an immediate revision thereof. A reducticn of all imp rt duties to strictly revenue standard, and that the free list be so enlarged as to include all articles of meehanical, agricultural and domestic use among the people, as far as the needed reve nues of the Government will permit. 5. That the President's veto of the Chi nese immigration bill is a public misfortune. It sets the degrading mark of competition with the coolies of China upon the labor of the workingmen of America, and it treats with contemptuous disregard the unanimous protests and appeals of the entire Pacific coast. In behalf of the people ot Oregon, we disapprove and condemn it, and we declare it to be the duty of every citizen, regardless of pirty, to express his disapproval with his vote as well as with his voice. 6. That the assassination of Presi lent Gar field was a national calamity, to be regretted by every law-abidinz citizen, and that said assassination was the result of the pernicious system oi tne rtcpuuncan partv in applying tho spoils system to every branch of the civil service of our Government. 7. v e believe that nolvcamv is a crime punishable by law, and that its existence should be made odious and impossible. 8. That we are in favor of the repeal of the navigation law and the removal of the du ties on all materials that that enter into the construction of vessels, so that American pro duce can be cirricd in American bottoms, and the American people be able to enter into competition for the carrying trade of the world. 9. That wo regard the improvement of the Columbia River and its tributaries, the Yaquina and Coos Bays, tho Harbor of IKfuge at Port Oi ford, the CoqnilleRiver.the const uc tion of the Locks at the Cascades and The Dalles of the Columbia river, and the improvement of other harbo-s and rivers of our State as essen tial to the prosperity of its people, and we demand of our Senators and Representative in Congress their best endeavors to secure lib-ral appropriations and favorable legisla tion thertfor, by tho General Government, to the end that the whole of Oregon may share in the certain benefits arising from competition in transportation. 10. That we favor the maintainance of tho public schools, tho hope and pride of a free State, and we demand sueh ways and means s 'will contribute to the increase of funds lor that purpose. 11. That we favor the taxation of all mortgages in the county where the same are recorded. 12. We assert that it is the duty of the Legislature to enact such law as will make tho compensation ot clerks ana shentls ot ever) county in this State commensurate with the service periormen. 13. We denonnco any organization or leg islation that would proscribe any citizen of this state on account ot religion or nationality, Respectfully submitted, C. B. Bei linger, Chairman. What the Orange Has Done. A "Uranger," writing tho Harrisburg Dis seminator, says : In 1870 the grangers at tempted to put 'n a line of steamboats to run from Albany to Portland, and that there was a compromise made with the O. S. N. Co, with the understanding that they wojld cirry freight from Albany to Portland for 9 cents instead of 14 cents. This transaction saved the farmers of Linn county that year $72,000. By co-operati ig together the grangers ot Linn county have been benefitte 1 a great deal financially. The Order is also a social and moral institution. The lectures on the moral part were excellent, showing that the asioci' atcs a young man or lady kept had a great in rluence with them, and that the influence, of the substantial farmers and their wives was much better for the young peoplo than tho in fluence of a certain class that are around the different saloons. My opinion is that there is no oiganization that is having as good an effect on our children in Linn county as th grange has to-day. Nearly all the farmers' children on the prairie are joining the grange this winter and spring, and it does my heart good to see how much good it docs the sisters to seo their children becoming members, and to know that they are coming under tho influ ence of the substantial farmers and their wives, instead of those young men who run a-ound tho "dead falls" in the different towns. I am satisfied that there are hut few farmeis in Linn couity but what would join the erauge if they uuderstoo 1 the objects of the Order and the moral influence it will have on their children. I hear there is talk of a public meeting at Charity Grange Hall the last of May. Farmers, come out and hear what we have to say. Bring vour wives and children; it will not do you any harm. Fish Farming. It makes un old fanner start to be told that a quarter of an acre of ground covered with water can be made more profitable in food raising In tho way of fih than a quarter of an acre cultivated in any other way. The Ger inai carp is a vegetable, as well as a grain feeder, and can support itself, if necessary, on the vegetable growths which line our ponds and streams, and, when fed on corn, will re turd twice as much in food as the same quan tity fed to pigs and cattle. And while this fish, if let alone, does its own foraging, it can be-fattened on crain and vegetables as we'l as any other stjek. Its most profitable food. however, is corn just taken from the crib and burned.
