WILLAMETTE FARMER: PORTLAND, OREGON, JUNE 23, 1882, 1 -$tok Inhumanity and the Hone. The power to nppreciato the dumb creature of God the horse is a good thing. In a man's character it measures up toward a true humanity. And where this poer is wanting, it shows inhumanity. To fully appreciate the horse, demands not only intellect, but moral sensibility a sensibility devout and almost religious. What ti'i admirer did tho horse rind in Job 1 to the horJe he dedicates a rare poem, that overflows with sublime apprccia-,-n IT nnnroth in the valley, and reioicetli inhi's strength; he noethon to meet the armed men; he mocKctii at icarnim i uuw nunguwu, neither turneth ho back Irom tho sword. The quiver rattletn aeainsL nun, mo giuKiiug pronnd with fierceness and raue; neither be lievcth he that it is the sound of the trumpet. He saith, amnng the trumpets, Ha, Ha 1 and he smedeth the li ittle afar off, the thunder of the captains and the shoutings." Wherein all literature is this utterance equaled! What a companionship of heroic courage, sublimo and fateful endeavorl Such measureless joy, such clad abandon for supreme trial, is portrayed by no other pen. But of his treatment I would speak. His nature and character invoke for him consider ate care and attention. In every way it is our interest to treat him, according to the laV3 of his being; and it is well if wo do. There are those, however, thronch pas-ion, or by virtue of innate meanness, or a mistaken policy, treat this grand creature the reverse of this. They are often simply inhuman wretches, and should be scorned and loithed if thy cannot bo reformed. In a thousand nameless ways they give needless pain andof ten torture. Take an illustration: Here is a man, who, since tho beginidng of winter, ha' lost five good horses; usually he has a team of six good ones, and is engaged in heavy haul ing, and part of this heavy work is over bad roids. In the stable ho gives his stock good attention; but en the road he loads them tc yond their strength, and keeps them on the strain till they sink down in utter exhaustion. It was onlv vestcrdav that I met the last vic tim of his cruelty on the mad. They wore trying to get him to tho Btable; but life was too near sperm lor mai; anu ine spirit ui una noble biute was about to escape from its mer ciless tormentor. What a picture of horror ! He was built to last thirty years, and is only six, an inheritor of rich blood. His inhuman owner could but pay tho dying creature a comnliment. bv savjnc with a nuavcr in his voice, "He was a puller, never refusal; but he has pulled himself to death 1" .They call on him to move, and his willinu snirit yields, and with infinite 1 bor he lifts his dead fet this is his last trip over this road; for death i3 nullina the spectral load over this weary way. What a change! That stat-ly horse that once trod so proudly now trembles, for the end is near. With blood-shot eyes, wide distended nostrils, ami lips covered with bloody foam, lie drops dead in his tracks ! The wounds of the murdered bleed nfn sh when even the murderer comes near them. At some time and in some way eternal justice will make inquisition for this blood the eter nal Nemesis i'l cleave to the wrong cioer inhunianitv'fs tho deeper depths of self-abhorrence. You anticipate; then be considerate, lie just, be humane- toward this truest, best and most useful croiture, the hone. In him we have found inexpressible pleas ure; a something kindred to friendship, . self sacrifice that was inexhaustible and unwciried by long service. Among the noblest and best is the horse that I rode during the war of the rebellion he is now thirty-one years old, full of years and full of honors. Hut I remember him when "his nick was clothed with thun der and the glory of his nostrih was terrible." Jlut old as ho is, "his price is above rubies." Pink Eye. This dise iso among horses in the East has been so prevalent that it will be a good thing for farmers hero to know something about it. We clip the following from the Country Gen tleman, which paper is good authority on any subject : Pink eyo is a name applied to adistase which often in spring and fall (especially if the weather is very wet and the climate generally unfavorable tu health) breaks out as a sort of epizootic. It will occur lireely in somo few districts, and not be general. It is then said to be epizootic, and is a species of influenza, developing into a catarrhal form of fever, such as the great epizootic of 1872 and 1873; or it may bring ou a diphtheroid or typhoid disease. There is also a type ot influenza which afficts the cellular tissues of tho body, accompanied by ni re or Itss of the following symptoms, and this disease is also called "pink eye." The earlier sjmptnms are dullness, rigors, loss of appetite, swelling of eyelids, discharge 'of tears down tho face, pip in the limbs and shifting or resting nf first ono and then a .other, anJ to en, the lcjs one or more are apt to swell, circulation is imperfectly carried on, and they become c ery cold. The pulse runs from M tu 84 per minute, and after a few days becomrs very feeble. The internal temperature at commencement will be about 102 degrees or 103 degrees. Hut if the throat is seriously atlected or the disease attacks the lungs it may rise to 107 degrees. All the ex cretory functions are depraved more or lets. I'ink eye takes its name from the color of the conjunctival mucous membrane lining the eyelids, which is pink, red, cr very dark red, according to amount of congestion of its blood vessels. It really signifies nothing, in asmuch as almost all feve s and inflamma tions that ff ct the general system give rise to higher color of the mucous membranes. Simple cellulitu, or piiil. eyo when aaiiiiuiig a mild type, requires but little treatment. But each year domestication adds tntlie se verity and multiplication of rpimM dir:", and recently America has experienced a wide spread epizootic in horses that partook some what of the nature of pink eye, but with all the symptoms aggravated, miny cases coal ing under my notice being really Uphold pneumonia, others presenting symptoms like those of diphthetia in the human subject. Horses usuallycough a good deal when suffer ing from pinK eye, aodluve discharges from the ntwtrils, but this year many do not cough, and very few discharge from the noie.

It the throat is sore, give counter irritation and gargles. But if the in ternal temperaturo is high, appetite gone, throat very sore, and the breathing acceler ted, they require the experience and judg ment of a veterinary surgeon. I consider it wise to give every mtdicine that can be so admiiiiiUred, in the form of a ball (bolus), as they do not in this way get any Quid into the lungs, as is often the case where horses are drenched when their throats are sore. Such an accident is apt to be fatal. There is no danger of transmission of pink eye to pro- Ku'- The Republicans of Arkansas hare nomi nated J, H. Berry of Boston for governor. Care of a Colt's Foot. Let us start' with tho young' colt which" I will assume is foaled in the early part of the pasturing season, and allow ed 1 i run in nearly a state of na'ure until winter. During this time the feet of the colt are worn by the soil so that there is just onoutrh hoof ail the time for tho proper development of tho foot. But during the long winter the colt is either con fined in a small stall, standing on his own manure, which is often decomposing and giv ing oil ammonia, rr he is turned int-i the barn- yard. In cither caso the hoof comes in eon tact with nothing to wear it away. The man- ure exerts It to great growth, n in uy spruit; the foot is nearly twice as 1 ug as it would have been had the colt been running on dirt. After this continchient, the farm ;r on some nice day turns his eul' out in the field to en. joy seeing him run. Ami this is the time when "ring bone," "spavin" or curb appears on colts, owing to the long toe on ono side of the foot being higher than tho orher. To avoid this the colt vlwuld bo hdtered and taken to a blacksmith every six weeks during confinement ami have his feet trimmed in natural shape. By put suing this coinse until the co'.t is three yrars old you have ilmost to a certainty a sound horse in tho feet, as well as broken to be shod. IS THE PIO A FILTHY ANIMAL? The little animal that leads all our exports of animal products, and is likely to hold this lead for years to come, should not bo chargod with faults that belong primarily to his keep ers. The pig is called the filthiest of our do mestic animals, but this is made inseparable from his surroundings in most cases. TIm pig is a wonderful machine for the production of pork, bacon and hams. He is the greatest utilizer of food on the farm. He lays up in his body 20 per ceut. of the dry substance of his food a feat not performed by any other of our domestic animals and proper provision should be made for the disposal of his excre tion. The tidy dairymun cleans his cow sta ble every day, and some twice a day; but his pig pen is not cleaned till his pizs are likely to bo submerged. Are the pigs or the owner chargeable with tho filth ! A no BATH. Some years ago we tested the pig's disposi tion to keep clean whe-e the opportunity was iivcn, by placing in his pasture a thai low bath of clean water. This privilege was eagerly used, in prcfcre'iee to wallowing in a mud hole some few rods off. This shallow bath was filled with fresh water three times a week, and it was noticed that the pics seemo! always to enjov the lenowal of tho water. This certainly indicated a nice discrimination in cleanly habits. SH.F ChKAXIVO PEW The writer has also placed pigs upon a slatted floor, which would allow the liquid and much ot tho solid to go through, and the balance was mostly trodden through. On ono side of the pen was a strip ot tight floor, four feet wide, with the trough placed upon it against the side of the pen, and upon these planks was placed bedding for the pigs. Tney soon learned the use of the slotted pail of the pen, and would go thero nnd diop Tho slatted floor was elevated fifteen inches above the bottom, so that thi excretion soon works throuch the slats, nnd the pen and pigs aro kept clean. A door is hung upon a lunge, so as to be turned up and allow the manure to be cleaned from under the slatted part of the floor. The pigs, in thii case, keep quite clean without any labor being bestowed upon them, except to remove the manure, once a month, from under the slattc.l floor. The writer has found pigs just as ready to keep clean as any other ai.imal avhen the on portunity is afforded them to do sa Let the farmer take the same pains to keep him clean as hn docs in the case of other domestic ani mals, and he will find the pig as cleaidv as any of them. The pig is a veiy profitable an! mal, and when we consider that it returns us, from exportations, about ten million dollars a year, a suju greater than all other animal ex ports, it would seem that it deserves to be treated with as much consideration as we give to our cows and horses. 3J-W Guinea Hens. A correspondent says, in jour issue of April, that ho is in a liitlo doubt as to the usefulness of Guinea fowls. They arc ex cellent watch dogs among poultry. I have seen a hawk hovering over our hens, tl.o Guiira liens al.o saw it, mid tho warning screeches which they sent out w ero interesting to me if not musical. I cousider Guinea hei s indispensable. If they are kindly treated they become quite tame, and will not wand, r very far. Mine will eat oil my hand, and one young rooster that was hatched by a hen, and that I brought up from tho nest, will necr run from me, nnd Ioften take him tip avhen hn is feed ing, but cannot do it at any other time, he is so timid. I cannot call him wild, for he follows me like a dog, but unlike a dog he will .never willingly submit to a caress. A Guinea hrn will lay 17, eggs in a sson, beginning in June and ending in the early days of September. The eggs ale cousideied quite a dainty. They are speckled, but are not darker in shell than a Hralima's. The shells are very t' ic! id 'r rg, snJ if put uudLt- a hen to hatch, will ruiuire one month 8 sitting. When hatchol, tho chickens are aery wild and very tender. I alwajs wrapped tv.eui in waddiug or cotton batten; waildiiig is b nt at first; uftei they are a week old canton fianml is the best. They require a great dtal of care and watching. The first tool I gae my chicks was biead and milk and a little hard boiled egg. Unfortunately, I kept my protty little chicks too hot, and they died one af'cr the other. The next lot I had were hatched too late in the reason, and fadtd away on ac count of" the cold. The young chicks are brown w hen first hatched. They teem to be covered with a soft fur (not down.) like a mouse. It seems impossible that these little dun-colored creatures will become the hand some Guinea hens. The onlv one I re i red was an odd one. put under a hen for an experi ment, in the spring. The hen hatched twelve chickens, and then kept on sitting until the Guinea chick was hatched. (I did not know then how long the chick would be in coining from the shell.) After it was batched I put it with tome young chickens two dsyj oh!. It grew and nourished, eating the same as the chickens. What seemed to me very strange was that fifteen more little Guineas, were hatched, the first one would never tay with them, but made a shrill whistle till I put it with the chickens, and to this day, though ten months old, it prefers to be with its foster brothers atd sitters lather than with the Guinea hem. Thii thows how tame the birds may become. At to the accusation of tormenting the bent, iwtjaraaMWjj su imt wui ' iwbih I do not think they tease the hens any more thin the rhens tei'o each other; they tbave nover killed or otherwise hurt a chicken or a hen, although a Plymouth Rock ruorter thaf. we had nearly killed a Guinea hen. Your cor respondent says he cannot distinguish a ben from a rooster. The hen always cries "come back," the rooster never; he screams. I do not know that he has an individual cry as the hen has. I presume he has, but I do not under stand bird language, so as to bo able to inter pret. Another difference hctwoen them tho rooster's head, wattles and comb (!) aro much larger and coarser than the hen's. I always kept the hen in the barn while sho was laving, s i as to make h r lay thero. Sho very rarely laid in a nest box but on the floor anywhere. If sho is allowed to run sho will find somo bushy place, lay twenty eggs, and then sit on them. We found thrco nests, ono after the other, stolen in spite of my precautions. Ono n.'S had 23 eggs, one 18, and one 20. These eggs aro verv good for coiking. They have a slight game flavor, and are very rich for cook ing. Altogether, I think it pays to keep Guinea hens. They can be trains 1 to run with hens. They must not bo allowed to roost out of doors; at least, ours never were, tor they aro not so hardy as wil 1 birds. We have lost sev eral birds from soms disease; wo nevor could tell what, and concluded that the bird had tiken cold. If only a Guinea hen droops, there is nothing that I know of that will re store her. Ex. Diversified Farming The Pnneville Xewt gives the Ochoco far mers a lecture on the benefits of diversified farming. As now little is done in that sec tion besides stick raising, what it says will apply to a good part ot the Upper onntry. "As a rule the farming industry is a profitable one in this country, and one that gives ample reward for the capital and labor invested. Although the production per acre is not, so great as in many other places, vet the stand ing price is not great enough to more than pay for the difference in the abundanco of the crop. Wheat is never less than a dollar a bushel in Ochoco, and the vicinity of Prine ville, and oats rarely sell for less than from fifty to seventy-five couts per bushel the year round. As yet few men have gone infti the production of cereals as a business, only barely f uflicient being raised to supply tho home de mand, and. hence the high ruling prices. This branch of industry will most likely continue to repay the laborer for his work for many years to come, as the immigration to this sec tion up to the present time has consisted chief ly of those men who are either stock owners, or else intend to invest in stock. The time will soon camo when farming will bo tho chie occupation of the people of this country, and then those enterprising individuals who havo made farms, and have them cultivated, will have resources that the stock men do notpos. sess. Farming in any place is thn most inde pendent pursuit, or livelihood, that is fol lowed by man; and Ochoco farmers are no ex ception to the general rule. In a few years the grass will have beon eaten out, root and branch, and then tho farmers will reap their reward. This section will be taken up, overv foot of it, and converted into fields and gar dens Tho greatest drawback to firming in this country is the uncertainty of tho season. The soil is drv by nature, and it occasionally happns that the rainfall is not sufficient to permit tho proper maturing of grains and fruit. But this does not often o-cur. and those who nro now making farms for them selves are tho ones who will win in the future. Young Animals -Their Care, Etc. This is a fit topic for consideration. Tho young animals being weaned and deprived of their mother's milk the most appropriate food for their growth and health tho art of man now comes into practice in place of naturi.1 instincts. 'I ho young animal must ho fed nnd its food chosen and apportioned for it. This should bo done with propriety. Tf the food is not p-epared right, no excess of quantity will make up for the defect in that respect. In fact, excess of quantity will be a serious error, although the food should not be of the very best. We cannot here suggest what foods should ho used, and can onlv give a hint or two as to the manner of feeding. This should 1)0 a-erycautiously done, A young animal is spoiled as soon as it becomes f ,t. for its food is turned from tho production of bone and muscle, which are needed, to the growth of fat, which is unnecessarv nnd posi tively unhealthful. The food phould bo given in small quantities and olten, and the ration increased gradually as it may be found to be disposed of in a satisfactory manner Wnt r is of the creat'Pt nereRsitv. a' d tbi .hnnhl not only liberally supplied, but it shouhl bu perfect'y pure. Regularity in feeding is of the greatest importance. Animals do not reason, but they remember their times rf feeding; they fret and worry if the t'me passes without bringing the expected food, and this worry serioiis.lv affects them Sheep and pigs arc espe ially fretful if their usual time p-sses by, and a fl"ck of sheep thus worried through a whole winter will fail to gain weight, although as well fed as another tint having lieen fed regularly may add twenty pounds a head to their carcase. The habits and requiremcutsof each animal should be watched, and a weak, timid thing that is driven from i'sfood by belligerant and tyran nical companions should be kept separate. The owner's eve should be everywhere and on the continual watch to observe how his young stock are progressing: a d just now this is important, because it is indispe"Rable' for thiiir WellJlu thst Hiov khould begin thn season strong, vigorous and robust.
