WILLAMETTE FARMER t PORTLAND, OREGON, NOVEMBER 1, 1882. EUle4 by Itarrlel T. Clarke. UTWO AHD LOTOCO. "I live bnt to lore I" ! the baby'n confessioq, As fondly it leaps to it mother's embrace, And all the deep rapturous joy of possession Is seen in the glow that illumines its face. "I lire bnt to love I" with caresses and kisses It heals all the blows and the braises of strife, And all through the day not a chance ever misses Of proTing that love is the sweetener of life. Thn kv mav with ominous clouds be nVrladen. And out of the darkness no blue banner flings. Bu love, like a bird, in the heart of the maiden, Of cour ee and hopo still contentedly sings There's alwiys some honey to gither from flowers That bloom in our path; alwiys comfort to give To thoso who are wounded with thorns. Th-it life's hours May yield us more bliss, let us love while we live. With love by the hearth, thoneh the fuel be scanty, There's warmth and much happiness, spite of nil ills HVii- nffpi'tinn will often thrivo well in a shanty And in sumptuous quarters die oft with the chills. . ... Too caution in lovlnjr, too stingy in giving, Tho miserly cynics good anfels repel, And daily declaring life not worth the living, In sadness and solitude evermore dwell. Though trouble and sorrow Lave grievously tried us. Leaving scars on the heart time can never effise, If only a friend or two linger beside us, Earth is not a dreary and desolate place. 'Eternally Most te affectionate mortal Who gives of the grace he is nourished upon ! He says as ho enters tho glory-girt portal "I have lived I I have loved I" andhelives and loves on. Josephine Pollard. WOODWARDS dARDENS. Almost 'every one who visits San Francisco goes to Woodward's Gardens, and it is well worth a day's time. Saturday and Sunday are the days when one finds the greatest crowds of people, and find, too, some sort of play or concert at the theater in the grounds. But for one who wants a day of quiet Bight seeing, any other day is belter; a half a day is rfally sufficient time to see pretty tho roughly all there is to enjoy. Gazing out of the oar window on tho v. ay to the Cardens wo saw a huge pile of brick, called the City Hall It is a building of r-ome original sort of archi tecture, between Corinthian, Mexican and Doric, covering a big piece of ground, built low to suit earthquake latitudes, Maay a nice little "job" has been got out of that cre ation, and it looks as if there might be a good thing in it yet before it is finished. A large vacant piece of land lies just about the City Hall, which instantly suggested to mind "Dennis Kearny" and the times of "sand lit ters," bcholdlm? for a surety that famous and well named sand lots, so well known in the past. Woodward's Gardens occupy tvi o large blocks of land enclosed by high fenciqg, while a hedge of tall, mountain cypress lines the in side of it, hiding the rough boards of the outer barrier, giving the place a most cheer- ful, woo Hand aop-ja-aneo. These trees seem to be the resting pla;e of thousands of wild birds, whoe joyous twittering filled the air with a low but ceaseless melody; we doubt if there was auy other living thing happy there. The wolyes and hyena's kept up an endless and futile tramp behind the bars of tho cage. The great Polar bears looked as if they ere wearied of life, and one solitary dromedary stood looking over the fence of his yard with a dream v and far-away look in its gentle eye m if dreaming of his home in the far away J,rt of Arabia or the slow nowlng line, 'We cannot but observe the pathetic and almost pitiful look in the eye of most of the animals. The monkeys alone seemed to have ' anspirit or ,ifef n'1 "Ten '"no ' tht"' 'd f " a melancholy war. I saw one little instance, s showing a fellow feelinp. Passing a couple of cages closely joined, a dignified old aps had al . po an arm out around into the other cage, ''when sat a most amiable-looking little mon1 ri key, wh6 tookWatpaw in most tenderly and . was 'soon Intently engaged hunting fleas, never looking up at us till that particular flea was safe between its'teeth, munching away at it, rolling it like 'a sweet 'morsel under its tonfue. The extreme comfort and satisfaction f the recipient of these favors was comical to see. while the countenance of the good little ... Samaritan expressed a neighborly concern, Thse two blocks of land are connected by an underground passage. Entering the gate, on suddenly leaves the busy, noisy world behind the hedge of living green, dreading the bum a and racket of the streets. While the eye is gladdened with gay beds ot flowers, trees and . i plants of rare kinds, a large, bnilding encloses ' ' a thsater, rooms for' refreshment and for rest. The most has been made of this plot of land, so that every turn and corner weals iom vi.. nw and cleaaant to the eye, A con srratory covers the mora tropical plants, and another building holds many natural curiosl-t.- a rt. nf art. The seal pond is in ! thi. nart of the grounds: a'pU of rocks in a. ... enables the poor fellows to get an occasional climb, but keeping one eye open all the while, feigning sleep in the warm stones. Tha second bjock, is .devoecj to anlnals en tirely, where again we Dotice the free, gay Jit tl sparrow?, whose twittering is pleasant to . hear after watching the caged animals, who .haw their looeinz for freedom and liberty by their ceaseless tramp before the iron tars of their little cac all too small. The monkey amilv are fully represented, large and small, all looking an very human like that it is laughable to atch them. Here is where the children Joved to stop. I promised one gay little monkty ti bring him some n'lts next time T cam. , and he really looked as if he nn- derstood every word, winking his little eyes in the most knowing way. An aquarium, so arranged that only a plate of glass is between, and the light coming down from above, gave a good chance to study the various tanks of fish closely. There were many curious and hideous looking, which are only found in the bottom and in deep seas, and therefore not common. One tank of carp we looked at closely, having read so much about them as easily raised and kept for commerce. All sorts of birds are to be seen. A couple o' common deer looked pleadingly around, long ing for a bit of green grass. There were Zeb ras Llamas and camels, beside many other sorts of animals too numerous to mention. A ereat variety of rabbits started up as we parsed along, sniffing the air in a startled sort of way. Little prairie dogs popped in and out from their hiding places. A couple of Royal Beneal Tigers lay sleeping in the sun, but soon opened their eyes, got up and walked up and down their cage lashinp their tails in fierce anger at being disturbed. luy were really .beautiful, seemed clean and sleek, while so many of the other animals were quite the opposite, looking filthy and poorly kept. These gardens are a great boon to the poorer classes, tor it gives them a chance of getting a little sight of nature; especially so it is nice for the children, who find a play ground and swings if they tire of watching the animals. Whole families come here with a lunch to spend a holiday, a band always playing at certain times. 0 fy j,hflifrei. THE BITTT15RHTS FUNERAL- All July and August so gallant and gay. The Butterfly's feasts they were crowded each day, But alas for all pleasures, the Summer's at end , And the guests and the banquets now mourn itir eueir incuu. Poor Butterfly's dead. The Emmets and Flies will no longer advance To join with their wings in the Grasshopper's dance. For see his fine form o'er the favorite bend, The Grasshopper mourns for the loss of his friend. Poor Butterfly's dead. And hark to the funeral song of the Bee, And the Beetle who follows as solemn as he; And see, where so mournful the green rashes wave. The Mole is preparing the Butterfly's grave. a. Wl aiiwsciu a uvcsi The Doormouse he cme and stood cold and forlorn.

The corpse was embalmed at the set of the sun, And enclosed in a case which tho Silk-worm had spun; By the help of the Hornet the coffin was laid On a bier out of myrtle and jessamine made. Poor Butterfly's dead. Bow Fowls Orlna Thetr Faod. On this subject S. Edward Todd discourses as follows : Fowls have no teeth to grind or masticate their food with, and the best they are able to do with it is to pick it and swallow it whole. Kerne's of grain are swaltowed by them, and as they are surrounded by a tough pellic'e or skin, which the juice of the stomach of the animals will not readily dissolve or digest, they could obtain no nourishment at all from the train If this tough pellicle was not broken. Now, if we dissect the gizzard of a fowl ot any kind wo find a lot of small gravel stones, which are usually the. hardest kinil 01 uint, granite or sandstone. Surely here Is a pocket addition of farm grist mill'. Fowls swallow their food, broken or not, and it enters the crop or first stomach and re. mains in it until it has become softened more or less, when a small quantity at a time, jut as grain runs into a grist mill, is forced into tho pizzard anion? tho eravel stones. This gizzard is a strong, muscular stomach and ulays sight and day when there is grist to grind, similar to a bellows, contracting at times, thus for.ing the gravel stones into tne grain and breaking it into fragments aid triturating tho whole msss, after which it is in a suitable condition to be quickly digested. A Hew Pattern tor Rugs. A very handsome rug is knitted on wooden knitting pins; it is very easily done and gives one a chance for exercising taste. Buy t o or three balls of cotton twine, like what is used for rag carpet wrap No. 8 brown Btocking yarn will answer. Cast on 20 stitches, knit across plain. If you wish tho center of th rug to be solid color, have the cloth cut in strips like carpet rags, and knit 1 stitch for a selvage; then put in a stnp of cloth, having a loop about an inch long; knit another stitch; bring back tho loop tight; knit and make a loop, and s on across; turn tho needle, ami knit plain; then across with loops Just as tiny knit fringed mittens, and so alternato till you have a strip knitted as long as you desire the length of the rug. Slip and bind on mo eud, and knit more strips till you have enough for the width of tho rug. Sew these strips firmly together with the knitting cotton. Then prepare bright colors for the border. If you wish a wido border, cast on 30 stitches and knit on the fringe as before; shade or mix as you choose. Keep the under side smooth and let the loops bo as near a length as possi ble. Knit two strips the length of the rug; then two more for the ends; sew these on; thon lay tho rug down on the kitchen floor, or in some warm place where it will dry, ami tack it with carpt tacks lightly driveD to tl e floor, Make a thick paste of flour, brush all over the smooth side, and let it Ire till dry. If you wish it lined, take a strip of coarse cloth like bagging; I use cotton meal bags Iu dozens and scores eame the Grasshoppers all. And b!x of their number supported tho pul; And the Spider came too In his mourning so block. But the fire of the Glow-worm soon frightened him back From Butterfly dead. The Grub left his nutshell to join in the throng. And solemnly led the sad Book-worm along, Who wept his poor neighbor's unfortunate " doom, And wrote these few Hues to be placed on the tomb Of Butterfly dead : "TO TM BOITFRFLY MlID. "At this solemn spot, where the ereeu rushes wive. Is buried fair butterfly deep in the grave; A friend unto all, she has run her snore race; Like a flower on wings, with its beauty and grace, Was this Butterfly Maid." Mary A. Barr. A kind Word. i.nd hopeful word Au tncouiaging &nd hopeful word olten oxcrts great power over character. Even a bad child is touched by kindness, and the better qualifies of his nature, which had been repressed by ill-treatment, by an appreciative expression. A kind word acts like magic. It toucher , as it were, a secret spring of the soul. A new life by this instrumentality, comes to the surface. Salem Town, long a public teacher in an interior town in Massa chusetts, was troubled with one ot these pro verbially bad ys. The bad boy was fortu nate in having so wisa and noble a teacher. The committeemen, on entering the school one day and finding the bad boy there, advised the teacher to turn him out, as he would pet no good himself and would spoil the other boys. "No, sir," was his reply, "I will leave the school if you say so, but I can't dismisa a boy as long as ho behaves well. 'i hat wont touched tho boy's heart and lent him a new inspiration to do well. Fromtjist day the teacher found no occassion either to expel or reprove him. Obedient to' all the rale of school, he became diligent In study, and ad vanced rapidly in1 knowledge. The boy be came -a good citizen, an eminent1 lawyer, and ai distinguished and bonorea statesman, ne was thrice elected Governor of New York and later was chosen United States Senator He was also 'appointed 'Secretary of War under President Polk, and Secretary of State under President Pierce. The name of this' man made by a kind word is William L. Marey. Orscon Bhseotn Chicago. The following is from a dispatch: D. Naret, of Umatilla county, Oregon, hasdriven through from Oregon to the Burlington and Missouri river railroad, in Colorado, one lot of 18,000 sheep, all wethers. These sheep, after hav ing been driven 1,300 miles, and then endur ing a ride of 1,400 miles by rail, appear in the yards as neat and clean as 'any animals arriv ing, and averaged 122 pounds weigktfranging from 119 to 128 pounds par head.

I am a young girl, four teen years old, and I will tell you what out of door life in Kansas has done for me. We came to this State when I was eight oars old. I had been sitk all my life, and could never go to school more than two months at a time without being so sick that I must have a doc tor. We first went to Southeastern Kansa, but I was not better there. Then we came to Graham county, and I rode an Indiau pony and helped to drive some cattlo all tho way. I wish I could make such a trip every Boason. I hive herded cattlo every summer since we have ben out here, and sometimes in the winter. Now I am a great big girl, larg r than my minima, and my health is nearly perfect. I do not have much time to get lonesome, for besides herding, I milk fivo cows twice a day, help fted the calves, and do a great many other chores. I find a p-ca- many things besides fleas and mosquitoes uut here. Two years ago I caught a young antelope, and I catch a good many jack-rabbits. I read about the little girl who made money out of chickens. I think she did w ell, and I will tell how I am making money out of two dollars that had been giveu to me in silver dimes, quarters and half-dollars for pocket pieces. I bought a little tiny pig, and fed it milk out of a tin oup at first, and it grew very fast. When it was large, I traded it for a heifer calf that was four years old. She has b rough t-thr-calvs, and her first calf had a oalf this spring. So yon see I have rive head of cattle. I traded two steer calves this spring for heifers, so my little herd are all females now. I am not very rich, but it is a little more than the two dollars I bought to Kansas. I read every bit of the Prairie Farmer, though I am the most interested in the live stock. How to Tell Eggs are Eggs. A good eg? will sink in water. A boiled egg which is done will dry quickly on tho shell 'when taken from tho kettle. After an egg has laid a day or more, the shell comes off easily when boiled. A fresh egg has a lime-like surface to its shell. Stale eses are glassy and smooth of shell. Ecks which have leon packed in limo look stained, and show the action of tho lime on the surftce. Egs packed in bran for a long time smnl and tiste musty. With the aid of the hands, a piece of paper rolled in funnel shape and held toward tl e light, tho human eye can look through au esg, shell and all. If an egg is clean, and g.ildcn in appearance when held to tho light, it is good; if it is dark and pott"d, it is bad. The badness of an egg can sometimes bo told by shaking near tho holder's ear, but the test is a dangerous one. Thin shells are caused by alack of giavel, etc , among the hens laying eggi. Many devices ha e boen te3ted to keep eggs fresh, but the less time an egg is kept the bet ter for the egg and the ono that eats it. Rural Gentleman. An Inrltlni Opportunity. Seattle, with its well established commer cial relations, its constantly widening field of operations, offers one of the most attractive fields for the investment of capital on the Pa cific Coast. Our manufactories are all en larging their borders, and if they are nut run ning full-handed, it is simply because they can not find the men to employ. This journal published a paragraph a day or two ago, mak' ing mention of the vast increase in the amouot of freight brought by the Sound steamers and' illustrated the statement by facts snd figures well calculated to artsst attention. Rapid as has been the increase in tho number and ton nage uf the local fleet, its n-eightiog and pass enger carrying capacity has been found In adequate, ami a number of the best boats hitherto engaged-m the Upper Columbia trade, it is stated, are soon to be brought around to the Scuud and added to tho fleet. All these things, and many more, suggest a broad field for enterprise. Men familiar with the whole sale trade consider Seattle to be one of the best openings for the establishment of large enterprises in this direction to be found any- wrere. Seattle already boasts of a num ber of jobbing houses which would do no discredit to far more populous commui i ties, but it seems to be generally conceded that the number of retail house s is out of pro portion to the number of wholesale houses, which would in no sense of the word be in jured by new houses, since it is self evident tint our growth in tho future will be more rapid and, if anything, more stablo than it has been in tho past.

This part of the country is fast settling up, and I am glad to say that a country was never settled with a better class of people than we have in this section. There has been a larger immigration from California this year than from any other State; Webfoot has also furnished a few families, who, 1 presume, will begin to imagine that they have' reached second Webfoot, as we have had such an abundance of rain daring the past two or three weeks, and, which will still continue from all indications. But we will not grumbls on account of roach rain, foi now the farmer can plow with the prospect of a good harvest. This year s crops are all harvested except Some have harvested that crop also, and they turned out well. They are worth from a cent to a cent and a half per pound; wheat, from 65 to 85 cents per bushel; barley from 2 jo 3 cents per pound. There is bat little hay, and if a person had it to sell be could easily get $16 to $20 per ton. There is still some land to be taken, but it is becoming scarce, and there is not a tim- htr claim vacant in the whole country. It unu almost impossible that a country could settle un so fast within two years. Then there was not a echoolhouse in this whole section. Now there are four, and a fair pros pect for more. Amone tho many inducements tor investing capital in this town and county, none offers creator inducements and requires so little sci entific knowledge, as that of dairying. By dairying, we do not mean the ordinary method of milking a few cows, packing the butter in a barrel, aud Bending it to market, but tl e more enlightened method ot makine and packing butter so that it may be sent freth and wett to any market, even tuougn it ne a thousand miles henoe, and a year or more old hi-foro reachins its destination. We refer to the method of thoroughly working and clean ing tho butter and packing it in compressed sealed tin cans. About three weeks since, while on a vtsit to the Wallowa valley, we visited Mr. Hardin at his place about two miles west of Joseph. Mr. Hardin hss for two years been engaged in making and putting up butter in tins. The first experiment, made last summer, was not entirely successful, owing perhaps to tha want of proper machin ery, but a lot of butter was put up which Bold readily in tho home market. Mis opeistions this summer promise much better, as experi ence has enabled him to put up more, and in better shape. Aside from this gentlemau'a attempt, we have seen tons of butter shipped from tha Esst to the mines cf I'laho, and in faot, all parts of the West. It Is put up iu five and ten-pound cans, which will keep sweet and fresh for five or more years.and sell -readily for fifty cents per pound. The cost of putting it np does not exceed three cents per pound, snd the machinery therefor oan be bought and put in operation in this vaiieyior lesannan $700. Thus it will be teen a' handsome re-' turn can bo had on a small investment. The cost of keeping cows in this country is nomi nal, as compared with'nbo Eastern States. Large sections of open rangs, first-class in all respects tor pasturing dairy cows, especially in the summer," still he open and unappropri ated. Again, ranges excellsd by nose in the coun try can be purchased for from $2 to $3 CO per sere, and to those who have a desire to-make a stake by doing soma honest 'toil 'therefor, nothing offers greater inducements. than sci entific dairying in this county. The profits are large and the market unlimited; for fresh butter, put np in small piekages capable of being handled, is and will be worth fifty cenU per pound for years to come. Wall Walla Btatttman.

As to tho introduction of our Hard Fife wheat into your country,.! would say that, iu my opinion, it would only be an experiment worth trying, aud yet an expert ment. Whether or not this variety of wheat if grown in your soil and climate w ould finally deteriorate into a softer vanety, I, of conrsc, cannot tell. I cannot boo why it should. do not see why a good hardy wheat should not be grown in your country, and if so, I have no doubt it would find a market hen-. Some 400 car loads of wheat was shipped frpm San Francisco here last season. That was not of good quality enough for this market, as a general thing. I brought homo soveral sam ples of wheat grown in Washington ierutory. While I thiuk it is much better than the Cal ifornia wheat, I think Mr. Villard has great hopes of bringing wheat ever his road this wnv. nn that the producer of wheat shall real- i more for it than it has broucht to ship 10 San Francisco. Ho told me this spring th it he should be glad t ship wheat trom your nnnntrv to this place for forty cents pir bushel, and that would give your farmers oiio year with another a goou prico ir wheat.
