WILLAMETTE PAEMER: PORTLAND, OREGON. OCTOBER 6, 1882, $" Raising a Colt. A colt is regarded as an incumbrance because be is uscloss until he arrives at a suitable) age for work, but it really costs yery little, compared with his value, to raise a colt. When the period arrives at w hich the colt can do service, the balance sheet will Show in his favor, for young horses always command good prices if they are Btund and well broken. One of the difficulties in the way is the incumbrance placed on the dam, which interferes with her usefulness on the farm, especially if the colt is foaled during the early part of the spring. Some farmers have their colts foaled in tho fall, but this is open to two objections. In the first place, spring is the natural time, for then the grass is be ginning to grow, and nature seems to have provided that most animaJsrshould bring forth their young in a season beyond the reach.of severe cold, and with sufficient time to grow and be prepared for the follow ing winter. Again, when a colt is foaled in the fall he must pass through a period of several months' confinement 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 mani fested, 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. Besides, a colt 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 very light work, with the colts at liberty to accompany them always. A colt needs but very little feeding if the pas ture is good and there is water running through it. He needs then only a small feed of oats at night no corn and if he is given hay, it is not necessary to (jive him a full ra tion. What he will consume from the barn will not be one-third of his value when he is three years old, and if he is. well bred the gain is greater. When a farmer raises his horses he knows their disposition, constitution and capacity. It is the proper way to get good, sound, ser viceable 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. He should never hear a harsh word, but should be taught to have confidence in everybody he sees or knows. This is an easy matter if his training begins from the time he is a day old. He can thus be gradually broken without difficulty, and will never be troublesome. No such thing as a whip should be allowed in a stable that oontains a colt. Colts should not be worked until three years old, and then lightly at first as they do not fully mature until they are six years old, and with some breeds of horses even later. Mares with foals at their side should be fed on the richest and most nourish ing food. Sheep ana Wheat. We are satisfied that there are no two branches of grain and stock farming that tan be so profitably combined as wheat and sheep farming. In growing wheat the ground in plowing turns up new, fresh soil, Riving a clean, new seed-bed for the grass to grow onj -while the fermenting and decaying .accumula tions of an old pasture, or hay field, are turn ed down to eniich the soil and give the plant a more vigorous growth. We find in our do mestic sheep two very admirable habits; one is quietness the other industry. You can easily fence them in they do not need a jail yard, like a wild colt, nor do they need a vigilance committee after them, as you Ho in care of the vicious hog. After your wheat has been drawn from the fields, turn in your sheet) and thev will clean it as carefully and successfully as did the gleaners in the days of Kuth. We find by experience that sheep will be wintered by feeding grain and good, bright wheat straw, thereby returning to the soil that which has been taken from it. By carefully utilizing all our products, our farms will grow richer and our pockets larger. It is very essential that every farmer keep a few sheep; first, as a source of profit; second, as renovators they being very destructive to weeds, brush and such accumulations in fence rosatid other obscure places, rendering the farmer erymuch valuable service in many ways. We have carefully noted the growing an marketing of the great crops wool and wheat. We need to grow more wool, because we do not produce enough for home consumption; while with wheat we have to look to foreign markets very largely to make sales. ' Our far iners have been marketing these two farm products. The wool has been grown without an extra expense, the farmer and his ' family caring for them, while the washjng-and shear ing his cost about five cents on each dollar receiv.-d; they took their thirty-five cents per pound and went home happy. In the mean time the fanner has come to market with his grain. ' Wheat just one dollar to-day." Is that all !" "Yes." He gets blck in thefacc for it has rained. I should remai k that it has poured down in torrents; he has bad a long hard siege in the house as well as in the field employing a Urge gang of hsndi at two dol- tars per day. Kain has caused extra expense and extra work. He finds, after a careful es timate, that he has left, after deducting bar vest expenses.markating, etc., a net profiit of ahcut sevsntv-fire cents on the dollar. He estimates that it coats about as much to feed a wheat crop, including seed, labor, manure, commercial fertilisers, and all that goes to make a good wheat crop, as it does the same percentage of sheep, leaving a handsome bal ance on the wool aids of the ledger. The amateur may ask.what kind of sheep to keep. Well, if mutton is the object, take mutton i beep of the English breeJi; if wool is the object, take the American Merino. Do not try and breed, a sheep combining wool and mutton, because each has a fixed type. The coarse wool sheep have been bred for hundreds of years on the Downs of England and are a fixed type; while the fine wools were bred in Spain as long ago as the time when the Moors invaded that country. So in trying to build a breed in a few crosses, you will make a ser ious faiinre, and the worst kind of a mongrel. In 1831 these coarse and mixed wools were bought at Bisscll Junction, Ohio, at from thirty-eight to forty cents per pound, and sold in Boston, June 1, 1SS2, for thirty-lite cents per pound. The same class of wools were bringing only twenty-five cents per pound in 1882, the fine wools thirty-five cents. Tho future outlook for fine wool sheep is very sat isf actor y; farmers are fast learning that it pays to grade np their flocks, and some are introducing a few owes to make a start. Michigan Farmer. Milk for Young Colts. It is recommended by those who have tried the experiment, to give cows' milk to young colts to drink instead ofwater, as it is noti n ous that mares rarely have sufficient milk for the proper nourishment of the colts. All who have bred colts, whethercartor thoroughbred, cannot fail to notice how soon tho youngster begins to eat with its dam any food that is in the manger or crib. If a larger supply of milk could be introduced to the young sapling, no doubt the desire for other food would be less ened, and it would avoid eating too much corn, or grass, or hay food that is adapted to an older stomach, and which requires more digestive operations than the delicate stomach of a two-month-old colt is possessed of. Good cows' milk could be sweetened to make it more closely resemble the mares' in taste, for no doubt the quality of mares' milk, like asses', is far richer than cows'. Milk is the natural food for infant mammals, and it is cheaper and better to brinpup the young colt, 'or calf, or lamb, on milk, than on any other ubstance. Grazier. Prepare winter shelter for stock. It is easier to do so now than when it is cold and stormy. If you can afford nothing better than a straw shed make that, and do not be ashamed of it. The cattle will not care for looks, and rejoice at its warmth and protec tion. Stop up the chinks in the horse stable. Provide some shelter for the hogs as well as cattle and sheep. A very good shelter for hogs can be made by building up logs in a square pen, notching the logs at the ends where they cross, and driving sticks into the cracks, lay poles across the top, and put on a straw roof, Animals exposed to the cold require more food than animals that are protected, and the food saved in one season will pay for good shelter, leaving their improved condition clear gain. Exposure to inclement weather is a fruitful source of disease among domestio animals, and this furnishes a further inducement to prepare shelter for them. FALL WORK-TIMELY HINTS. At this season of the year farm life is busy, and a few timely hints cannot be amiss, so we append the following culled from our ex changes : The barnyard manure should be hauled out in the fall. It will be thoroughly rotted Dy that time if properly treated.. The best way to reduce straw to manure is to turn the cattle to the stack and let them pull it down as soon as possible. If they do not -vork it down fast enounh. help them with the knife and fork, Then feed the hogs on the pile, being careful not to let them lie there. In rooting around for the last grain of their food, the hogs will stir the mass. A hog's nose is a good manure hook. Haul the manure on the wheat ground as soon as it is plowed; then subsequent bar rnwinra and draeffintrs will incorporate it with the soil. When applied to the surface in this way, the short roots of the young plant can get it in the fall when the wheat moat needs In the fall is a good time to clean up and burn old rubbish. Old logs,, chunks, brush and stumf s should be piled up and burned. At this season of the year they are dry, and will burn readily. They will be much less objectionable to handle w hen dry in the fall than when wet, and logs, etc., will De lighter. By burning them, many obnoxious grubs will be destroyed and they will not fur nish winter retreats for vermin. lien tney are reduced to coals, throw water on the pile, and then let the hogs eat the charcoal. See that all farm machinery is cleaned, oiled, and put in dry for tho winter. Mud should be carefully cleaned from plows, har rows and other implements. All parts made of steel and not painted should be coated w ith toal oil or tallow; either will prevent rutting. It is a good plan,to give all woodwork a coat of cheap paint. There are several-ways of marking with paint. A very cheap way is to take a pinch of Venetian red between the thumb and first finger, and draw them over a lock of the wool letting the powder slip. The red uuites with the grease of the wool, making a bright red mark which will last for months. Mark ewes on the right shoulder, wethers on the left and rans on the romp. It is best to mark just af ter shearing. Anothf paint it made of lamp black and linsed oil. A talentei lady, who lectured before a Brooklyn literary society, speaking of Job and bis patience, remarked ..that all her sym pathies went 'out to Mrs. Job, who made the poultices. i ' She laid her cheek on the easy chair against his bead and murmured, "How I do love to rest my bead against your held, Augustus " "Do you T" said he, "la it because you love me ?" ' 'No; became it is so nice and soft. " To remove stumps from a field, all that it Decennary is to have one or more sheet-iron chimneys, some four or five teet high. Set fire to the stomp and place the chimney over it. so as U tit- the requisite dranght at the bottom. It will draw like a stove. The stump will soon be consumed. With several -each chimneys, of different sites, the removal of stamps may be accomplished at merely nora inal labor and expense.) $ JMr& Moving Bees. We have, many times, now and then, tome swarms of bees that are not in a place to suit us; we would like to move them varying dis tances, from a few feet to as many miles. A few items of instruction may be of benefit to those who havo hid no experience in this par ticular, for "a stitch in time" may save a good many bees. If the bees are to be moved away a few feet or even rods on our own premises, it can be done gradually, by moving the hive about its width each evening after tho bee have ceased (lying for the day. If two or more swarms are to be moved sidewise, it it best not to move them over one-half to two-thirds of the width of the hive each time, for, if moved too far, the flying bees from the foremost hive will go into the next hive on their old location, and so on to the last, thus taking many of the working force from tho hive. If but one or two stocks are to be moved, first swing them around at two or three moves till they stand back towards the direction they are to be moved, then they can be carried over as much as two or threu feet each evening, and the bees will relocate each day till their new stand is gained. You can move hives backward the farthest without bothering the bees, sidewise the next best, and towards the front the least of all, for a slight move towards the front causes the bees to alicht on top or behind the hive. Some recommend moving the hive the distance all at once and placing a slanting board over the entrance to bother the bees when they fly out, and cause them to look around and re-locate, but I must confess that I never could make it work. Great handfuls of bees would go back and circle disconsolately around their old home, and I had to take pity on them and carry their hive baok, to rely on the slower and more sure way of chaniring their location. If the distance is a mile or more, they can be moved in a spring wagon, or sleigh if there be snow on the ground. If box hivs are to be moved, first note which way the combs run, then turn the hive bottom up and cover with thin muslin, tieine the cloth around the sides or tack it down with strips of lath and small nails. Place in tlie wagon, with bottom up, and the combs running crosswise of the wagon box. The rocking of a wagon is in the ruts from side to side, the combs being placed with ends to the ruts, and the hive being bottom up the heavy part of the combs containing honey, rests on its base, instead of hanging full weights from the top only, will go safely on ordinary roads if safely driven. If the narrow movable comb-frame hive is to be mo ed, more care will have to be used unless the combs are built fully down to the bottom bar. If the weather be cool, shut up the en trance v. ith a block, and give the bees the full cap to cluster in away from the combs. If the entrance is covered with wire cloth, the bees will struggle to get out there and smother. If the frames are well stuck with nronolis and little bits of comb between the frames at the top they will go all right, but if tho combs are loose, thev had better be fast ened down by driving a small nail or brad through the top bar at each end into the hive below. Frame hives should be got ready dur ing the day, as the best time to more bees is after sundown, when the bees ore all home. If the weather be very warm, it is best, either to bore several inch holes in the cap covered with wire cloth on the inside, or take off the cap entirely, and replace it with a four or five inch rim with the top covered with wire cloth. Bees should be released as scon as they are placed on -their now stands. Should the bees to be moved be less than a mile from the new place, a great many will go back to the old stand. In this case move them twice, first away two or three miles, let them remain there for a week or ten davi. then move again to the new location. If the bees are to be sent on the cars extra care must be taken to have the combs fast ened firmly, nailing a notched stick on to tha bottom of the hives for the bottom bars of the frames to rest in, in addition to nailing the top bars at both ends. Give ample ventila tion in the cap or rim, and send as litt'e honey as can be got along with. A little hay of straw in the bottom of the or will help, and sacks of the same placed betwen the hives and the cir w ill help to prevent jamming. In nlacing the hives put the combs lengthwise of the car, as tho jarring of the car is endwise. It is essential to give plenty of ventilation, room for th6 bees to cluster away from the the combs, and to have tho combs fastened so that they will rot swing together by tho jolt ing of the car or wagou. The Best Bee Land In the World. Looking now over all the avilable pastures of the State, it appears that the business of bee-keeping is still in its infancy, Even in tho more enterprising of the southern counties uiti... ai irirvnwma n ltAninn-nr. tifinlioan triarln 1 TTt.llV oj ..kw.uh? .. u.giiiuiuj. ....nut...., ...u..v, Mess than one.tenth of their honev resources hive as yet been developed; while in the Great Plain, the coast ranges, the Sierra Nevada, and the Northern region above Mount Shasta, the business can hardly be taid to exist at all. What the limits of its developments in the future may be, w ith the advantages of cheap transportation and the advantage of tetter methods in general, it is not easy to guess. Nor, on the other hand, are we able to meas ure the influence on bee interests likely to follow the destruction of the forests, now rap idly falling before ire and ax. As to the sheep evil, that can hardly become greater than it is at the present day. In short, not witbttamlipg the widespread deterioration and dostrnction of every kind already effected California, wilh her incomparable climate and flora, is still the best of all the bee lands of the world. Qtntury Magazine. orfttftlturat Callas. Do yon want your calla to bloom next w in ter! Of course you do. Well, then take it right out of the woolen bucket and plant nut in the garden. Put it where it will get tho foil benefit of the sun, for this royal plant is a native of Africa and loves the warm sunshine. Keep the weeds down, and boe your callas ( two or three times during tho summer, just cs you would a hill of potatoes. In the fall, any whre from the first to tho 15th of September, lift your calla and re-pot in good, rich soil. My callas are potted in the same mixture tnat I use for nearly all my house plants one half good garden soil, the other half equal parts of sand, leaf-mould and very fine barnyard ma nure; don't use too large a pot; that is just w here so many people fail with callas. Let the size of the pot bear some relation to the size of the plant. My cillas, which are very laige, are in twelve inch pots, and these are set in larger pots that are only about half as deep as the inner pot. The inner pot has holes in tho bottom; and in the holes near the bot tom, for drainage. Tbeso pots are made on purposo for callas, and cost from 60 to 75 ceutst piece. They can usually be obtained at any place where flower pots are sold. After tho calla has been potted, keep it in n sbady place for ten days or two weeks, and water but little; then it may be brought for ward to the sunny south window an watered freely with warm water. When the weather gets quite conl, along about the middle of No vember, I fill the space between the two pots with scalding hot water every morning, let ting it remain an hour or so, and then pour it off. Under this treatment my callas commence blooming about the middle of December, and keep it up till April or May. Last winter one calla had thirteen blossoms between the mid die of December and the first of May. When the calla pjts cannot be had, use a common ten or twelve inch pot and saucer, and do not fill the pot quite full of earth. You can set the pot in the kitchen sink each morn ing and water the plant well with quite warm water, taking care not to pour it on the stalks, but on the earth around them. After the wa ter has pretty much drained off, return the pot to the saucer in tho window. Don't let the leaves of your calla get coated with dust. Once a week or so, wash the leaves off with warm water, or else take the plant to the kitchen sink and give it a regular shower bath. Never allow the blosoms to wither and dry up on the plant, but cut as soon as they begin to fade, and other buds will soon appear. Don't bother your calla with any "plant fer tilizer." Give it a good soil, a pot of suitable size, a sunny window, plenty of water, and it will bloom because it cannot help it. Prairie Farmer. Why Peach Trees Thrive In a Corner. At a recent meeting of a farmer's club near Lancaster, Pa., a farmer said ho had better luck with his peach trees when he planted in fence coiners and gave them no care. He knew an old nurseryman that planted some peach trees in fields and some in fence cor ners, and tho trees in the fence corners did best. These experiences are eften met with and used in illustration of a supposed tiuth that neglect is better than good culture. Nothing can be further from the fact, except as one may say that what is often supposed to be very good cultivation, is really culture,of a very bad kind. In the first place, the peach, of all trees, needs all its roots in order to per form all its duties to its owner, and if our sys tern of cultivation destroys half of these at a time when the plant needs them all, it is bad cultivation. In the fence corner the tree has at least this advantage, that it has the benefit of all its roots, none being disturbed. Again, the peach tree loves plenty of nutritious food, so long s it is not allowed to overbear. In orchards the owner is very apt to bo niffgardly of necessary food. If ho does keep the grass down, and puts on a little manuro, as likely as not ho will make tho trie Bharo it with some other vegetable crops. Yet it ho keeps his hoo harrow going continually, cutting off half the roots and letting tho potatoos get the food the other half ought to get, he still thinks his peach orchard well cultivated. Indeed, in many cases, the peach grower has no other idea about a treo being well cultivated than the fact that he sometimes calls a hoe harrow a cultivator. They were well cultivated because he kept the "cultivator" running I The peach tree in the lence corner has tho advantage of the rotten weeds and trash often thrown there of old briers and wcods that grow and rot thre of the wash from tho higher ground which the rains bring there and can carry no farther. In short, the fact that a tree bo often does well in a fenoo corner and so badly under ''cultivation" is simply that it has f oun 1 good cultivation in tho fence corner and bad culti vation in thn fid 1. Now is a very good timo to trim hedge. Some hedgo pinwers object to trimming hedge in tho fall, because, as they assert, it weakens their vitality; but I havo always found that my licdgo grow fast and strong lough, though trimmed in the fall. If hedgo, kept trimmed through tho summer and fall, it will not require trimming in tho spring when tho shoots aro hard, and other work is pressing. It is much easier t trim hedge in tho summer and fall than in the spring, and the brush is much more easily handled. Gardens should be cleaned of old vines, leaves and bushes. Burn or cart off all this rubbish, and havo tho ground for tho next spring. When clean the wound will dry up and warm up much sooner in the spring, rcr mitting of early work. Many of the insect enemies, so injurious to garden crops, owe their existence to the protection aUbadctl them in winter by tho rubbish left in tho gar den. Burning this may effectually destroy them. 18 A SURE CURE for nil diseases of the Kidneys and -LIVER It ha tjwciOo aolloa on thl most Important organ, enabling It to throw off torpidity and inaction, ttlmnltllng th healthy tecreUoa of th till, and by keeping- th bowels In fr condition, cOtctlng It recalar dlcbrg.
