Breeding Smalt Marts to Lam Stallions In
Oregon.
In the April number of the Journal I notice
ail inquiry as to the piopriety of breeding
amaii mam w large eiaiiiont. 1 nave been a
close obserrer, of everything tbat pertains to
II 'It , ,,, I w .
horses for fifty years, and actively engaged in
breeding on my own account now for forty
years. For the last twenty years I have been
breeding mixed Spanish and Indian mares to
large stallions having bred mares that would
not Weigh BOO pounds to a stallion that
weiqhed 2,300 pounds. I have bred this stal
lion to these mares four seasons, and the past
eleven years a few mares of the above sizo to
imported Pcrcheron stallions that wonld
weigh, in good condition, 1,8 0 pounds. Be
tween pages 24 and 25, vol. I. of the Perch-eron-Norrr.an
Stud Book, is an engraving of
an Indian mare and foal bred by me. .The
same mare has a colt two years old, by Pride
of Perche (page 138 of the Percheron-Norman
Stud Btxjk), .which will in time, from appear
ance, aqual the filly in the engraving. Last
year the Indian mare brought a filly, by
Bobby Burns, a Shetland stallion, weighing
3 IS pounds. This will make a fine saddle
pony. In all this experience I have not had
: known of a single instance of any injury to
the mares in foaling on account of the size of
tie stallions. If the presentation is natural,
there will be no difficulty, if otherwise, there
will be tho same as when mares are bred to
stallions of any other size. This fact must be
remembered, that all the female kind are lia
ble to have more or less difficulty in bringing
their young colts into the world, but in my
extended experience I have not found any
greater difficulty from crossing the large stal
lion with the small and -medium sized mares
than any others, nor'have I known of a single
instanoe of a badly-formed colt, 'or one out of
proportion, or anything that would discour
age this manner of crossing.
I know it, is claimed, that in this way of
breeding we are likely to net the body of the
large stallion and the small limbs of the dam,
or one end aftef l.the tire and the other after
the dam, and vice fera.If-there has been
difficulty in breeding in this wayyLam led to
believe it has been from rising; a stallionthat
was accidentally an extra large one, 'from
some or a number ot mixed breeds a mon
ster. Such a stallion might occasionally get
such colts that might give trouble in foaling,
and also have no proper form to lookat ' or
use. - -i
For this manner of 'crossing a'full-blooded
Percheron-Norman stallion or bih grade, jiot
of the extra large logy kind, but.shose com
pact, with spirit and action, will give the kind
of animals for general use which will please
everybody. The advantage in breeding from
this class of stallion is, that the foals, when
'they come, are generally sm?ll; frequently
not so large as from the common American
stock. Cor, Slock Journal.
Training Heifers.
It is an easy matter to train a heifer to
stand quietly to be milked, but it is easier to
train them to jump, kick and run. The way
to teach them stand still is to require them
always to do so. If there is naught to hiuder
a wild heifer from running, and her fears
prompt ber to run, she can and will run. If
she cannot ran, in a short time she will lose
her fear and stand from habit., and habit is
one of the worst influences in the world for
either brute or man to overcome. If yon
want to transform a wild heifer into a well
behaved, well-trained cow, you mnst be pa
tieot and exhibit no temper. Never strike
her; she must, first of all, get acquainted with
you and learu that you will not'hurt her.
She must learn not to fear you. If, In win
ter, it is best to milk in the stable, make as
little fuss and as few alarming motions as pos
sible; handle her very gently. Be careful not
1 3 pinch the teats. This is tho great source
of trouble. The cow naturally wishes to get
rid of her milk. She stands quietly until
some careless milker has given a squeeze that
hurts, when she'bicks and runs. By allowing
such a coarse a few times the habit will be
confirmed. The best way to manage, if you
have no stable, is to have a well-fenced yard,
and teach your heifers to stand for milking in
that; or next beat, to tie them, using them
very quietly. No man or boy is fit to handle
animals uutess he can control them and con
trol himself. Neither is it right to chastise
the ignorant. Southern Planter,
Washing; Wool and Us Loss In Weight
Furniture Gazette.
Some statistics ami particulars of losses in
weight iu washing greasy wool of different de
scriptions, which were carefully taken duiin
the late Wool and Woolen Exhibition at
t the Crystal Palace, will doubtless be of inter-
Jest to many woolen manufacturers. In wash
lung wool the point that should be specially
vvuusiijcreu uj an HwiMiunuiiKU apiuurrsu
tt" thoroughly cleanse it for spinning and the
Subsequent dyeing operations, and yet with
lie smallest loss in weight that is possible.
k'oolen yarns are generally actually sold by
eight, and the value of the finished goods
f terwards is practically, also, to a large ex-
at governed by their weight. To wash or
Kisolve away from the actual fibre of the
ilfool more than is necessary, says the Textile
fanufacturer, is undoubtedly a loss to the
roolen manufacturer. There is, besides, not
Berely the question of the actual loss in
reight, but also the depreciation in the value
! the woo1, owing to its fibre being; weakened
lid partly uestroyed by violent and unnecea-
scouring, which has at tiie same time
used the lost in weight. Many manufacture
i by no n eans give' so close attention to the
t means of cleansing their wool as this sub-
ct deserves. It seems to be thought merely
preliminary operation, and quite a secondary
aideration to the spinning and weaving
at follow, The wool has to be cleansed
somehow, and it is done in the cheapest man
ner possible, by rcouring with soda-ash or a
strongly alkaline soap. r Nowrnothin; could
be more objectionable than this mode of pro
cedure. Not only is the dirt removed from
tho wool, snd every trace of the lubricant that
Nature has placed in it taken away, but actu
ally part of the substance of the, wool itself it
dissolved. Woolen manufacturers who thus
treat their wool cannot generally be aware
that not only can the wool be cleansed with a
strong alkaline solution, but it only requires
time and a little extra heat to dissolve it alto
gether. The practical result is this: In order
to save a small quantity of potash soap, which
can easily be made at a cost of about 2d per
pound, an appreciable weight of clean woo1,
of about an average value of 2s per pound, is
dissolved and washed away 1 In other words,
a very penny -wise and pound-foolish course is
adopted. It is, therefore, clear that neither
soda-ash nor a strongly alkaline soap should
be used for washing wool, but a neutral potash
soap only be employed that is to say, a sosp
containing no excess of free alkali. Of course,
more' sosp will be necessary if it is neutral,
but this is much more than counterbalanced
in the gain in weiffht on the washed wool. A
potash soap should be need, as Nature uses
potash, to the exclusion of soda, in the com
position of the "grease" or "yolk" on the
wool when growing in its natural state. What
can be accomplished in washing with a per
fectly neutral potash soap was well exempli
fied at the recent Wool Exhibition by the
Greenbank Alkali Company, St. Helen's,
with a soap made on the spot for the nse of
the wool-washing machines, by the simple ad
mixture of pare caustic potash and tallow or
cotton-seed oil by the cold process. Beyond
the mere handle and appearance of the wool
after washing, a series of experiments were
conducted in the following manner, with this
pure neutral potash soap, in one ot the large
wool-washing machines, which was pnt at
their disposal for this purpose. It was deter
mined to wash a parcel of Sydney, Port
Phillip, and New Zealand wool, carefully not
ing the weight of the wool before and after
washing, and obtaining a close valuation in
each case of the greasy and .washed wool,
which was kindly undertaken by one oi the
most eminent firms of London wool brokers,
without thelrpreviously knowing the actual
lost in; weight! .TJutvataationwas then in
each, ease' worked out incqDJuncttf5f.wiih.tht
loss in Weight, with the follo'wing'Tfira'lil-fh
figures 'have been reduced to percentages for
the convenience of calculation: Sydney wool,
100 pounds, valued in the grease at 11 Jd per
poend.'-gAve. 48) jwunds of clean wool, valued
at 2fjd per pound,"" or. after deducting a loss in
weight of 51) pounds, thowed-an increase in
actual-value :6taboat-10 per cent. Fort
Phillip wool, 100 pounds, valued in the grease
atlljd per pound, gave 46) pounds of clean
wool, valued at 27d p;r pound, or, after de
ducting 60) pounds loss in weight, showed an
increase in value of about 16 per cent. New
Zealand wool, 100 pounds, valued in the
grease at 12)d per pound, gave 50 pounds of
clean wool, valued at 25 1 per pound, or, after
deducting 44 pounds loss in weight, showed
an increase in value of about 12 per cent. The
quantity of neutral potash used in each case
was about 5 pounds per 100 pounds of greasy
wool washed, which, it taken at a cost of
about 2d per pound, would amount to lOd, or
say 1 per cent, on the value of the -wool.
Taking the labor of washing and drying at
about the same, the clear gain shown by
washing in the best manner amounted on an
average to 10 percent, on-the value of the
wool. To a certain extent, the fine handle and
loftiness of the wool told in its favor, but it
was evident that the chief gain had been ac
complished in the abnormally small loss in
weight, as every manufacturer, on being
shown the corresponding samples of washed
and unwashed wool, estimated the loss in
weight greater than it actually proved to be,
This practical illustration will doubtless prove
better to woolen manmacturera the gain in
washing wool in a rational manner than any
thing else. If soda-ash had been employed
jiatead of the 5 pounds of neutral potash toip,
made from pure caustic potash and cotton
seed oil, costing about lOd, tho ssving would
probably have been half this amount, but on
the other hand, the loss in wool would prob
ably bave been 5 pounds of washed wool, val
ued in London at 10s. The aulj.ct, therefore,
of wool-washing, from a scienti.ij as well as a
practical point of view, will well repay the
time devoted to it on the part of the woolen
manufacturer or worsted spinner.
Keep the Stables Clear of Files.
Une of the greatest hindrances to thrift
during hot weather is the annoyance caused
by flirs. This is true both in field and stable.
In the former e cannot, iu any considerable
degree, control t em, but in the Utter wo
on. The better class of stables should be
provided with screens. By this mode, fumi
gation being practiced to drive the flies out,
the stock may be quite well protected. The
placing of small vessels of chloride of lime
about the ceiling will sometimes answer the
purpose of keeping them out of the build'ng.
If a decoction of licopodium (sometimes called
wolf's claw), which is the largest of the Euro
pean mose?, be placed in a bladder, the neck
being supplied with a quill nozzle, by meant
of which the liquid can be sprinkled where
the flies accumulate, early in the morning, the
effect upon the flies will soon ba teen, as it
quite promptly destroys them. This article is
also used to destroy vermin. Live-Stock
Journal.
The Qardenert' Monthly says : It has only
recently been clearly demonstrated that a
dead branch on a tree makes almost as gieat a
strain on the main plant for moisture at does
a living one. This is one of the most import
ant discoveries of modern botanical science to
the practicsl horticulturist, at by this know
ledge be can save many a valuable tree. Any
dead branch, or any weak one, should be at
one cut away.
' Facta about Coal. l
The Unite.! States was, during the coal
period, a low swampy level, not unlike the la.
goou district of Louisiana. There were also
p o'aMy scores of such swamps as the Dismal
Swamp of Virginia, u hich has an area of M0
square miles, and a depth of from ten to thirty
feet of black mold or peat in a pasty state.
These swamps differed in size as well as kinds
of trees, reeds nnd ferns growing in them.
Some marshes have slow flowing water;
others stagnant water. Peat was accumu
lated by means of a microscopic plant (sphag
num paluatre), and centuries were required to
form a deposit of 30 or 40 feet. The swamps
with flowing water would be mingled with
foreign material, while the stagnant marshes
would increase only in pure carbon. When a
vast area was submerged, 100 fathoms oi
water above it, the pulpy pent bed, thirty
feet thick, was reduced to a few feet of coal.
The clay next to the coal absorbed enough
carbon to become fire-clay. Pressure snd beat
resolved the upper layer of olay into slate
and soapstone. We have thus underlying fire
clay and overlying slate, the precise order in
which we find nearly all coal. Then the land
is raised to a higher level and becomes a per
manent part of the continent. The swamps
in which.there were bayous or flows of water
would give impure and slaty coal. The purest
coal wonld be formed in the still waters of
lagoons. Thns was formed probably the Briar
Hill coal, the blockTcoal of Indiana, and the
semi-block coal of Wilmington and Braidwood.
Coal contains the greatest store or amount 'of
heat in the smallest compass, and yields it' in
the largest quantities at the least cost, and
besides, it is most universally distributed
through all countries. It is, in short, the
cheapest source of that wonderful power,
steam, which is the basis of the world's pro
gress. No ordinary combustible substances
have a heating power equal to it. The smelt
ing point of iron is 3,479 deg. Fahrenheit, far
beyond the heating power of wood. But coal
has dominion over iron and all its ores and
forms, with a surplus heating power of nearly
1,000 deg. Had the heat power of coal been
limited to 1,000 deg. lower, or the melting
point of iron established 1,000 degrees higher
than it is, tho entire human race wquld have
remained savaces or barbarians uutil this day.
The concentration of heat power in coal can
be in some sense appreciated when it is stated
that the power developed in the combustion
of five tons of coal represents the physical en
ergies which a man is able to exert by work
ing ten hours a day for a term of fifty years.
The grain of coal, the drop of water and
the atom of iron are the triumvirs that have
ushered in what is to be a grand millenlum in
history. It is scarcely fifty, years since the
dawn of this era, yet in that time what a rev
olution hat been wrought. If it had been
prophesied 300 years ago that a grain of coal
woulu some time evoke from a drop of water
a power that can be so distributed and ap
plied that it will do all the drudgery of the
human race; so, suble and powerful that it
will spin and weave, plow, plant, harvest and
carry the golden grain to market; dig canals
and cellars, build railroads and forts; excavate
mines and shafts; forge anchors and spider
webs of steel; in short, forge and fashion all
material for all uses, with what wonder would
we have regarded the fulfillment of this pro
phecy. But all this was foretold in the con
stitution of coal and iron. Tl ese are pro
phetic of the human period in the earth's his
tory of the coming race of man who should
combine these properties in most perfect
action.
AGRICULTURAL NOTES.
It is stated that a single firm in Philadel
phia last year manufactured and sold over 100
tons of Paris green for the destruction of the
potato-beetle and cotton-worm.
A fertilizer called Onodon, quite popular in
some places a few years ago, and which cer
tainly produced extraordinary results, was
largely composed of refuse malt sprouts from
the breweries. Possibly sowing barley at the
rate of two bushels per acre, and plowing as
soon as the leaf appears above the surface, is
one of the cheapest modes of manuring for
wheat.
There is quiet about the life of a farmer,
and the hope of a serene old age, that no
other business or profession can promise. A
professional man is doomed sometimes to feel
tint his powers are waning. He is doomed to
see younger and stronger men pass him iu the
race of life. He will be last where once he
was hrst. But the farmer goes, as it were,
into partnership with nature. There is no
constant or frightful strain upon his mind.
He watches the flocks and herds as they feed
upon the greeu, sunny sloped. He hears the
pleasant rain falling upoo the waving corn,
and the trees be planted in his youth f ustle
aWo him as he plants others for the children
yet to be.
A farmer who will not attend his local poli
tical conventions to select candidates for
office to represent him, or who will not go to
the polls to vote for the candidates that will
best represent his interests, is a farmer who
should have his wheit eaten up by rust; his
corn carried off by the crows; his potatoes
destroyed by bugs; his hone die with cholera;
bis crops wasted by drought; his spring dry
p, ami his stomach be burnt out by the
whisky ring. Farm and Fireside.
A Connecticut farmer, having worked his
horses for three years without shoes, declares
in favor of leaving tnem off. He says that
tVy wurk bet-er, are more sure footed, and
far lets liable to lameness than when shod,
and he is well satisfied that for ordinary work
his horses' feet as nature made them are all
sufficient Tne roads near where he lives are
rough, hilly and ttony, but the sole becomes
to hard and callous at to be non-sensitive to
small stones, and the animals are thus far less
liible to stumble. To prevent the hoof from
chipping the toes should be kept slightly
rounded by a coarse file.

The East Portland Vindicator is responsible
for the following : T. G. Stevenson, of North
Yamhill, made complaint in the police court
of -Portland on last Saturday evening of being
robbed of $5 on Fifth street in this city. His
stnrv was that while nassins Shom-en'a black
smith shop the command "Halt I" in senotorian
accents, accompanied by the order "tbrow up
your hands I" staitled him into instant obedi
ence. "Have you any money t" jerked nut
the two hii'hwavmen. "Yes, I have $5," said
H'evenson. "rerk it over quickly, thun
dered one of the font-pads. "You s
lively, we're in a hurry." An old gieasy sack
containing the amount mentioned passed from
the possession of the tnstic to his captors, and
he was commanded to disappear, which he
did without deigning a word of farewed, al
though he heard the robbers say, "Well, this
is pretty good rent money, ain't it?" He did
not appear to be greatly depressed by his ad
venture, and the general theory here is that
he took $5 from the sum and tackled a faro
game, and after losincr it thought to avoid cen
sure by pretending he was robbed. He had
$45 on nit person when he claims to have
been stopped, aud tho fact that he only lost
five of it, shows that different kind of rob
berj than highwaymen wero more than likely
the ones who git his coin. East Portland
can stand considerable, but it will not sit
still and bear the imputation of being infested
with such a snide set of highwaymen as the
five-dollar kind. Give -us a Dick Turpin and

Tbe Krgialratlon Law Bill.
The registration bill, which was introduced
in the Senate by Senator Hendricks, of Lane,
as we have already published, was lost or
stolen from the judiciary committee room of
that body. The friends ot the bill made per
sistent effoits to have the printed bill substi
tuted for theaoriginal, but in every instance
was opposed, mainly by the Republican votes
of the Senate. A duplicate of this bill was
introduced in the house by Mr. Parker, of
Benton. A vote was reached upon the bill in
the house on the eveninp of the 18th inst.,
when it failed to pass, by a vote of 23 to 30.
The following is the vote:
Yeas Urawford, Uuttis. Ufrus. row.
Furry, Hayes, Ison, Jamison, Jones, Kieer,

Plummer, Sharp, Smith, Stewart, Thornton,
Webb, Wilbur.
Absent, or not voting Hubert, Mara ton,
ippington. SUntin. Tanner. Truitt. Speaker
McBride.
By an analysis of this vote it will be seen
that the nays are Republican except one Mr.
tlmilman, ot Union, and tho yeas are all
Democrats except tour Ford, Jones, Rigdon
of Marion, and Perkins of Douglas. There
were seven absent all republicans.
From this vote it will be readily seen which
party is in favor of using all possible means
tor the prevention of repeating and corruption
at elections. To the Republican party of this
State belongs the responsibility of defeating
this just measure.
Frank Mitchell In Lebanon.
Frank Mitchell, alias Lewis, who shot Po
liceman Barry in Portland recently, was seen
in Lebanon on Monday evening last, says tho
Albany Democrat, having come to that place
from Salem on the nveniug train, Deputy
Sheriff Smith met him in the office of the
hotel soon after the arrival of the train, and
inasmuch as he only knew him as a party whom
he had onco before arrested in this county,
simply spoke to him and paid no further at
tention to him. There were parties in Leb
anon who had that day received Mitchell's
photograph and description Irom Uhiet iap
peus, and who knew he was in town, but in
hopes -of securing the reward offered, con
cluded to say nothing of tho matter until
morning, when they would arrest him them
selves. Mitchell, however, suspected that
Deputy Smith had his photograph and was
after him, took advantage of the first oppor
tunity to shako the dust of Lebanon from his
ftet, and is supposed to have left for the
mountains. Our efficient deputy sheriff is
free from any blame, as he was off serving
processes for the ensuing term of court, and
had not seen the description of Mitchell, but
we cannot be too severe in our condemnation
of those who knew all about tbe would-be as
sarsin, and who in the hope of securing a pal
try reward for themselves allowed him to es
cape. PROGKEMIMi VAPIDLY.
