J "? - WILLAMETTE FARMER : PORTLAND', OREGON. MAY 1?, T 1882, jMotH. Ralilns a Colt A colt is regarded as an encumbrance be cause if is useless until it atrivea at a suitable age for work, but it really costs very little, compared with bit value, to raise a colt. When the period arrives at which the colt can do service the lalance sheet wilt show in hts favor, for young lir.rsea always command good prices if they are sound and well broken. One of the difficulties in the way is the in. cumbrance placed on the-- dam, which inter feres with her usefulness on the farm, espe cially if the colt is foaltd dunng the early part of sprine. Some farmers have their colts foaled in the fall, but this is open to two ob jections. In the first place, spring is the na tural time, for then the grass is beginning to grow, and nature seems to have pr vided that most animals should tring forth their youna in a season beyond the reach of severo cold and with sufficient time to grow and be pre pared for the following winter. Again, wVn colt is foaled in the fall it must pa3s through a period of several months cuih'uement in the stable, without exercise or else be more or less chilled with cold from time to time. Should this happen, the effect of any bad treatment will be afterward manifested, and no amount of attention can again elevate the colt to that degree of hardiness and soundness of body that naturally belong to a spring colt. Be sides, a coif foaled in the spring will outgrow one foaled in the fall. An objection to spring colts may be partially overcome by plowing in the fall, or keeping the brood mares for light work, with the colts at liberty to accompany them always. A colt needs but very little feeding if th-j pasture is good aud there is water running through it. lie needs then only a small feed of oats at night no corn and if he is given hay it is not necessary to give him. a lull ration. What be will consume from the barn will not be one-third his value when he is three years old, and if is well bred the g-iin is greater. When a farmer raises his horses he knows their disposition, constitution and capacity. It is the proper way to get good, sound, serviceable horses on the farm. It should not be overlooked that a colt must be tenderly treated from birth, and must be fondled and handled as much as possible. lie should never hear a harsh word, but should be taught to have confidence in everybody he sees or know. This is an easy matter if his training begins from the time lie is a day old. He can be thus gradually broken without dif ficulty, and Kill never be troublesome. No such thing as a whip Bhould be alluwed in a stable that contains a colt. Colts should bot be worked until three years old, and then lightly at first, as they ilo not fully mature until they are six years old, and with some breedB of horses even later. Mares with foals at their side should be fed on the richest and most nourishing food. Clipping Horses. The practice of clipping horses is one which under certain circumstances is an excellent one, preventing as it does colds and adding strength to the animal. The class of horses to whom clipping can possibly be of an actual benefit is very small, as it can only be useful in case of horses subjected to fast and violent work during the cold winter months. Road sters, for instance, or coach horses, trotters in training, and hunters, which can be blanketed the moment they are not in motion, when clipped are not nearly so liable to sweat, and if they do dry more readily and keep warmer under their clothing with the hair off than on. But to thrive under the unnatural loss of na ture's protector they must be confided only to careful grooms and coachmen, otherwise rheu matism, pneumonia, and couphs will be the in evitable result. For the lazy groom the invention of the clipping machine was a grand era, and unfor tunately for the dumb brute too many owners are influenced to have their animals so treated because the poltronns harp upon the advan tages to them, when in truth the greater ease .of cleaning, and the improved appearance of ' the animal's body without hard labor are the motives which prompt the advocacy of the practice. If a horse is tn tie clipped at all, it should be done as soon after the winter coat has grown out as possible, the growth being kept down afterwards by singeing until the new coat or summer apparel shows signs of being furnished by natnre. To clip a horse in March or April is an absurdity, and can only be favored by the ostler, who thereby gets rid of the shedding ;oat. Clipping at best is a base practice, even in horses of gross coats. If they we expected to do fast road work, to sleigh or on the ice, a careful owner may benefit the animal by the process. Though where the animal it pretty well bred and the coat only of modern thickness, hard rubbing ana wispwg win ue iuuuu tu auswer u pup noses. Coach horses should not be clipped. because in their daily ubb the clothing cannot be put on and taken otf every time they stop, at it should lie in such cases, and then the poor beasts sutler. It often happens in citier, as a coiroboration of the above, that coach men harness their horses over their clothing, a habit perhaps more injurious to the animal than exposure after clipping. At any rate, the disadvantages and discomforts to the horse if summed up would show a preponder ance of argument against clipping. orfitnl jural The Borer and Curculio. That dreadful pest the curculio hat cot yet made its appearance in Oregon, but we may as well get a sort of acquaintance with its habits, as we are sure to have it in time. The borer we have this spring. In-planting some prune trees we found quite a number in examining the roots before planting, which we carefully destroyed. The coddling moth was brought here irora Calif crnia, and disseminated by the dealers in fruit throwing damaged apples out on the ground, while such should be buried or be disposed of so that the. worm should not be able to form a chrysalis to breed a gen- I eration for this country. The advice riven, in .the following article that hogs and chickens ahiuld have the run of orchards, is an excel lent way to keep down these pests, for the) 'iannot be entirely exterminated : . K When the ground begins to warm and 'plants spring up, the tuaects immediately IF' get to work to deprive the grower of his bar let.

The borer comet Irom an uueet about the size of a wasp, which usually de posits its eggs in June. These eggs very toon hatch, and the grubs enter the bark of the tree at the surface of the ground. The grub is very voracious, and it feeds until the fJI, when it enters into its chrysallis state, coming forth in the spring. The work of the borer can be easily detected hy his chips, which he throws to the rear nf him as he works forward. Me is easily killed with a piece of bent wire, or even a long-bladed pocket-knife, if he has not passed far in an upward direction. A careful examination once or twice a week of the orchard will nre vent him doing much mischief before being caught. It is a eood plan to keep poultry in the orchard.

Lime is destructive to the ergs and grub, and a profuse application of lime or unleached ashes oftn keens them away, as instinct prompts the mother not to deposit ner eggs where there is any danger. Ihe curculio works at the top among the branches. It is hard to get at, owing to the danger of injuring the trees. The insects cannot endure a sudden jar, though shaking the tree has no effect upon them. The cur culio must be captured and killed, and to do this eaaily a large nail should be driven into the tree which does the trie no injury aud a heavy blow struck upon it sufficient to give the tree a quick, sudden jar. This causes the curculio to fall to the ground. Most fruit growers spread sheets underneath the tree to receive the insects when they fall, and fire finally puts an end to -them. As fowls on not reach the curculio, we have another resort, and one of the most effective of ail that is, to encourage wrens to remain in the orchard. If boxes are placed in the orchards with holes small enough to keep out the blue birds and our pugnacious sparrows, the ........... ...:n i i.i il. t a .t i ii -vtciia win irmiu in mem, out nut unless mo holes are small enough for them to barely enter. Being very small in size, the w ren will feek such boxes for protection, and they will wage relentless war on all insects. Prunes and Prune Maklnj. Prunes are made and not grown. Plums are grown, and some sorts of them, when treated in a certain way, becomo the prunes of com merce. It is not every plum that can be dried iuto a prune, as many are inclined to think. Prunes are produced in the various countries of continental Europe, France, Spain, Ger many taking the lead. The plums that are suited for prunes form a distinct group, the most noted variety being the St. Catharine. The plums that are to he made into prunes are left on the trees until they are fully ripe, in fact, until they drop of their own weight. To prevent injury by the fall the ground un derneath the trees is either made soft by working it with, the plow and harrow, or is covered with straw. The fallen fruit is picked up each day, or every alternate day, washed, if roiled, and then spread out separ ately on frames of wicker-work, where it'i' exoosed to the rays of the sun. Later on in the drying the plums are put into ovens simi lar to a baker's oven, when they are sub jected to a heat of about 170 dee. Fahr. At the end of twenty-four hours the fruit is re moved from the oven, and when cold is turned upon the trays. The oven is heated again, in the meantime, to about 220 dee., and the frnit placed io again, when it remains anothci day. After another cooling and turn ing, the oven is heated to 258 dec. and a third drying given, which usually completes the process. The drying is known to be properly done if there is a certain elasticity to prunes when pressed with the fingers. The object of all the different parts of the process of dryine is to dry the fruit as far as possible without breaking the skin, which, in the well-dried prune, should shine as if it had been given a coat of varnish. In France it i the custom for the growers and drvers to sell the prunes in three grades, founded upon the number of prunes required to weigh 500 gramme U trifle over one and one quarter pounds) If seventy or less weigh this they are fine; if it requires eighty they are medium, and small if ninety or more are required. The method of drving varies some what in different localities. In Provence the fruit is scalded before being dried. Some of the finer kinds are "rounded," an operation by which the stone is turned within, and the ends of the skins flattened down without breaking the skin. In the case of common prunes, such as are imported in casks, the fruit is shaken from the trees and dried with out any special care. Mr. Felker, in his Manual, says : "All the prunes received in this country are comparatively of poor nual- ltv, as the best are retained for home use." This may account for the low estimate which many persons place upon prunes. If they had the best sorts of prunes for their sauces, etc., the reputation which this dried fruit has in the United States would be much higher than at present, But when our imports of this single article are among the millions of dol lars, it is evident that there are a great'many prunes consumed, even though they are of the poorer qualities St Louis Grocer. WB8TEKN OREGON AND ITS INDUCEMENTS TO IMMIGRANTS. Dallas, Polk Co., March 1, 1882. Dear Sib: Yours of February 12th at hind. I am quite willing tn give you all the information I can about the State of Oregon. Washington Territory I know little or noth ing about except that when here it is worth a visit. I have one friend settled there, and he speaks highly of it as a stock raising country, with plenty of free range, and the bunch grass not eaten out as I find to be in the Willamette Valley district where I have been. I was an English farmer of some 20 years practice, and selected this State for its moder ate climate and future prospects. I came here in June, 1880, and after looking about for twelve months bought this land. I tell you this that you may not suppose I know all of this vast State in detail and shall only tell yon of what I know from my o n observation, and give you my opinion which you will be able to take for what it is worth.. You desire a farm in a settled part with church and school convenient Tbit can be obtained in Western Oregon, but then the land being divided and fenced up, it is not there that one look for a free range of large extent to support numbers of cattle and sheep. No, near settlements there is little or no original pasturage left, and at any time a man is liable to have a range fenced away from his home place by incoming settlers. Prairie farms are mostly farmed for grain and grain alone except in cases where English methods of keeping cattle on small areas is adopted. To get a free range it is ne cessary to gc further from settlement, say tome ten miles in this county. This applies to this county, Benton, Linn, Marion and x aaanw. i am told that m Southern Orerii large grazing grounds and free range can be obtained, but this further from settlement anil life of the State. This it a good poor man'f conntrv. no stvle to keen nrj. evervbodr work hit own land; taxes are low and costly road. making is notapproved; we are rather, I think, behind other States in respect of schools, but an energetio man can always get up a school near his place as I intend to try for this sum mer, my nearest school, at present, being four miles off. Whether I can make a lot of coin has yet to be proved, but things look very well as it is possibln keep expenses very low when no display is needed. This is a splendid fruit country for all but peaches and apricots. Fruit drying is carried on for market and many men make a good thing out of it, and when a man has an orch ard it has created a market for frnit that did not exist before the dryer was started. The dryer men give, I believe, ten cents for ap ples, but plums and prunes are becoming a great industry in some counties with smalt men; large farmers in cattle or grain (unless they have a family who can run a dryer) are too busy personally to work a dryer, but then there is a certain market for raw fruit if picked and kept in suitable houses till sprinr, no frost to matter, not so much as in England, The Willamette Valley lands were, f course, at first more fertile than the foothills. but the long course of scourging grain cro, s and the foul farming of the older settled va' ley lias begun to be felt, and considerable renovation is needed to restore the farmer great fertility; but whereve good farming is carried on the yield is satisfactory. Again the valley lands are not in all cases naturally draining and so give a preference to the newer soil amf undulating features of the foothill farms; in connection with which is usually found some free outranges, to which I attach much importance, but- certainly the valley lands, when in order, will produce from five to ten bushels per acre more than the foothills nd are mostly nearer to railway and ware houses on the Willamette River. I have care fully noted the cost of raising wheat and place it at sixty cents or ten dollars per acre. This is reckoned on a low averai'o of seventeen bushels to the acre, ot course a large crop costs no more except getting and handling. Wheat farming does not pay enough for the trouble and cost at present prices, but at tine dollar per bushel men can do exceedingly well, in fact, lay by money. Just now oats pay more than wheat. Straw farming is also practiced, the renter pays all expenses and gives one-third at the machine as his reut, owner maintains fences. Another arrangement is owner finds land, fences, teams, implements, seed and hisefccd renter all the rest, and the two divide the yield equally at the machine. Cattle farming in the west part of the State differs entirely from Eastern Oregon cattle farming, where there are vast tracts of bunch grass, remote from settlement and con veniences of civilization. A hard winter may result in heavy losses, unlesi feed can be put up, which is not usually done. To farm largely in cattle here (Western Uregon) some feed, hay or straw, should be put together, as cows, calves and yearlings must be winter fed, that is not taken off the grass, but have hay or straw supplied to them during stonr.-. and in the months of January and February. Older cattle will winter on the range with help during snow and very wet weather. I reckon I can, when started, run 200 head of all ages, and I have GOO acres of land, but only 40 arable and 200 fenced pasture for winter keep. It is a good plan here to fence large parts of the range to be shut off in sum mer and serve as a winter pasture for cattle. I havo 200 acres thus fenced, and am sowing it down again with Timothy and Mesquite. I do not see how, from my knowledge of the five counties I am acquainted with, so many as 500 cattle can be kept on one ranch, but of course with two or three it cm be done. Calves are now scarce and dear $5 and $6 in the fall and men are asking $10 for year lings. At present I am holding off a bit, as these prices are unusually high, and owing. T consider, to heavy losses in East Oregon last winter. II a man raised or bought fifty calves each year, he would have when full un about twenty-three of thee same fifty for sale each year as beef cattle or milk cows at three years old. They would probably average about 824 or more, depending on quality. Sheen are dear, $2 50 a head, but after shearing can usually be bought at $1 50. Wool is high just now (see Boston markets). They have considerable .Merino in tnem, and clear about six pounds all round, I cave $2 a head for my 150 in July Ian, and for two bucks $20 and $8. Sheep on pasture pay more than cat tle, but they eat out a range so that cattle don't do so well, and they should be kept separate if possible. The increase appears very small to an English farmer; it is pretty good to get seventy lambs tn one hundred ewes. Mutton sheep are worth when fat in winter $3 to $1 for good ones; in summer much less, as folks here don't like mutton. Beef, by the quarter, five cents fore and six cents hind. You know how reliable most es timates are, but I will try, as you wish it, to put the sheep business on paper: say 200 ewes, at $2 each, $400; 6 bucks, at $12, $60; total $460. First year's return; 195 fleeces of 5 pounds, at 30 cents, $292; 140 lambs at $1, $140, and old stock $285, total $717. I really think this can be done, or more, as vou'll ob serve I have allowed for a fall in value on old stock as a margin. From these figures you cm calculate your second year's value in sheep. The wool is a great item in sheep cul ture, and when a sheep dies or is killed the wool is stripped off and the loss reduced. But I must tell you that vermin are trouble some at odd times; cayotes weed out now and then a lamb, dogs sometimes worry a few, the bear will occasionally get an odd sheep, and if a severe winter in the hills is experi enced, the large grey wolf will claim a meal; but all these causes combined are amply made up for by the kerlthy class of sheep in the State, so that losses from rot are scarce, and I always lost more in Enland from this than folks here lose by all that the vermin can do. It takes some time to start a cattls ranch hcie, as you have to go Ions distances to pur chase. The other day I had 100 yearlings offered to me for $1,050, and 100 cows for $2,000. Pum bred short norm can lie bought in the State, and pure Merino and Cotswouls also. This county of Polk is, to my thinking, the best of tlioe I name. The large counties of Jackson, Lane and others in Southwestern Oregon are reported to be very suitable for stock raising, but are too much Out of the way to suit me, but I am not acquainted with them by actual inspection, I rode some thousand miles last year, and took much pains, and am satisfied with my selection. You don't ask the price of land, so I presume you know all about that. Hill ranches from $4 to $8 an acre; or valley farms from $14 to $30. I will tell yon anything more you want tn know in future letters. To come here is well worth the journey, and I strongly advise you to come with a compinion before settling and look well around; arrange to le away six mouths, and arrive in April; buy hones and travel the State over as I did, and you will not regret it.
