M More Mutton Sheep.
it We need m ire fiue-wooled sheep, more
long-wools, b'lt etp;cially more mutton sheep.
The manufacturers can get wool to suit their
I purposes if they have to import it, but good
utton for tho mini-11, if hid at all, must be
raised within easy reach of thn local markets.
There is a lamentable dearth of go id mutton
in the vilhge and rural markets, as we know
from a personal experience of thirty years and
more. Lamb is quito plenty in the summer
months at llie retail prico of 20 to 25 cents,
and mutton in the fall months at a litt.e less
price than good b'ef, but the rest of the year
it is hardly to he hud at any price, as if it were
a thing out of season, like strawberries in De
cember. We ought to have mutton the year
tound, so that dull ate stomachs that eschew
Teal in the spring and fresh pork in the win
ter, can have a chme Trim beef an 1 poultry
so mutton chop at their convenience. Tho

Bruised and Galled Shoulders.
The veterinary editor of the Praitrie Far-
tmer, in answers to correspondents, says:
Farm hordes are in some seasons more than
others in wet and warm seasons especially

iwhjch, wheu not timely or properly attended

tims past have in breeding fine-woolcd sheep,
like the Merino. Lire Stock Journal.
Mr. J. H Saunders, of Chicago, has been
in Washington consulting with Assistant-Secretary
French as to the proposed establish
ment of quarantine stations along the Atlantic
coast. Mr. Siunders is President of th) Cat
tle Commission. He says they have exper
ienced difficulty in procuring proper sites
within the limit of appropriation made for
the purpose. Tho c mmission proposes to
erect sheds at Portland, Hos on, New Vrk,
Philadelphia and Baltimore. At the latter
place, Mr. Saunders says, there is no urgent
need for them this fall. The importations of
cattle are suspended for the most part at the
other ports dunnp tho winter. It is all the
more necessary that a quarantine station,
which is kept disinfected, should be erected
to receive stock-cattle arriving, because, if
free from disease upon landing, they are
liable to contract it if taken io ordinary
yards. Baltimore and the farms around it
are pronounced by the commission to be a
hot-bed of pleuro-pneumoma. Western
breeders arc warned to shun all cattle passing
through this section, and, above all, calves
from farms in this region. A single animal
might carry the disease West. Once there,
every animal must be slaughtered or inocu
lated, as is done in Australia, where no at
tempt is made now-a-days to stamp out the
plague. Mr. Saunders regards it as little
short of miraculous that Western cattle are
still free from it, considering the laxity of
the health authorities of some EiBtern States.
Angora Goats vs- Sheep In the Coast Counties
Aaron Cory, of Haynes' Slough, expresses
himself as well satis6ed with his investment
in Angora goats Two years ago he Btarted in
with a buck and 15 ewes, all thoroughbred.
His band has increased to 43, exclusive of two
he sold. So far he has not lost a single from
any cause whatever. Cory considers these
goats far preferable to sheep in every way. He
says six goits will thrive on pasturage barely
sufficient for one sheep, and that the goats do
not injure pasturage to anything liki the ex
tent it is injured by sheep. His goats roam at
will, without shepherd or dog; defend them
selves with their horns when assailed, and re
turn regularly to their corral at night. The
fleeces this season, from old and young, aver
age pver three pounds per head. From some
he. took more than six pounds. It is Cory's
bdief that our climate ar.d pastures are much
better adapted to the Angora goats than any
breed of sheep, and that persons wishing to
engage in the wool business would do better
to take the goat, which stands the rains and
dripping shrubbery far better than any sheep,
and then their wcol when marketed brings a
good round price. Coast Mail.
The Heifer,
I am convinced, says a correspondent of the
New York Tribune, by an expe-ience of over
fifty years, that it is well to tie the legs of
every heifer, no matter how gentle, for a short
time, say a week or ten days, as a part of her
dUcipline and training when beiiu learned to
milk. She will never fnrgtt it when a large,
stroi g cow, and then if her teat get scratched
or chapped so that she must be tied to be
milked, Bhe must submit with a very good
grace, otherwise Bhe may object as strong'y as
one of ours did awhile ago. We attempted to
tit her legs; she reared up behind, both feet,
like a mule, causing one or two of us to make
elevated as well as rapid t-a sit.
A Cure for the Blackleg.
Peter Ivory, who is an experienced cattle
r lifer, says the following remedy will cure the
blackleg or diphthi-na. We give it far the
benefit of our farmer' readers. He says :
"When the animal is first taken it will exhibit
lameness in some one of its legs. With a
sWp knife open the lame 'member between
the knee and the hoof, where will be fouud a
lump or a sack filled with a white substance,
squeeze all this out, then rill the opening with
salt and pepper and bind the limb up with a
rag." This is all that ii required, and Mr.
Ivory vouches for its good eflects. The rem
edy is certainly cheap and simple, and is
worthy a tiial.
Reclaiming the Desert.
In 1867 wj passed over tho Yakima Valley
from near the falls to the head of the river.
On the trip .we were struck with the, feasibil
ity of converting into wheat fields the vast
area of raze brush p aiu between where Yaki
mi City has since been erected and the falls,
by using a canal to convey the waters of the
river onro it for irrigation purposes. Since
then we havs repeatedly talked up the scheme
to capitalists. Now comes the Record with
the information that parties in Yakima City
are in communication with capitalists for the
purpose of securing means to open up the
country at the lower end of the valley by con
structing a canal, 20 miles long and IS feet
wide, so as to irrigate all the land in that sic
tion, commonly known as Parker Bottom. It
is claimed that over 60,000 acres when irri
gated will average 40 to 60 bushels to the
acre, and that the climate is such that vegeta
bles snd fruit of all kinds can be raised in
abundance. If they meet with success it will
no doubt be the paradise of Washington Ter
ritory, and where nothing now but sage brush
is seen for miles, will be dotted with houses
and farms that will increase the valuation of
the property f'Om its prctent price really
nothing to ISO per acre. The land can be
taken up under the Desert Land Act. W 1
bop that tne day is not far distant when all
this a 111 come to pass. There is already a
ditch four .r fire miles in length, and four feet
sill started, and it Is the intention to buy in
to the company owning the same and increase
it to 15 or 20 feet in width, If. W. Union.
orfitul Jural
CEAHBEKBY COLT ORE.
We hetr of some enterprising folks from
New Jersey who have bought a quantity of
marsh land in the vicinity of llwado, W. T.,
with the intention of raising cranberries.
This fruit is always in great demand, and is
shipped in barrels to all part of the country,
commanding high prices and re dy sale. It
is said that the best cranberries are grown at
Caps Cod, where they bring from $3 to 311 a
barrel on the ground. A friend, Mr. A. J.
Burr, whom we mentioned not long ago, sent
a bucket full of the vines with berries on to
the Farmer office; they wero light colored,
making a n.ost delicate and beautifully col
ored jelly after being cooked. It seems there
are fresh and salt water varieties, the latter
being considered the best. Tho berries sent
by Mr. Bnrr show that the best of cranber
ries can be raised here, and no doubt it can
be made profitable, too, if Indian labor can be
utilized in gathering the fruit. Indians are
good faithful hop pickers, and there is no
donbt but that they would do better in the
berry business. Cranberries in Portland mar
kets are twenty-five cents a quart in season,
and small quarts at that, and as thero is so
much land adapted to the cultivation of this
fruit, it might bo made a very profitable busi
ness. The Cape Cod berries are larger and
darker colored than the berries grown along
the Massachusetts coast and in New Jersey.
Those berries grown by Mr. Burr at Olympia
were in every respect finer and better than
any .imported berries that wo have bought in
Portland markets; so, as there is no doubt ot
quality, it remains to be seen if it can be made
to pay. We would bo glad to get communi
cations from the growers of cranberries for
publication. The rapid growth of the country
is creating a demand for products of all kinds.
The Farmer is desirous of encouraging home
production and encouraging the immigration
of Eastern people by the publication of the
great resources of Oregon and Washington.
Subduing the Orchard Pests.
All of the insect pests which infest orchards
and gardens in the Atlantic states and the
south have not yet appeared here, but most of
them will, unles the greatest vigilance is
maintained. The following practical notes
from various authorities aee of value to Cali
fornia horticulturists. Oils of all kinds are
deadly to most insects. Kerosene can on'y
be used by diluting with water. To mix oils
with water first combine them with milk, then
dilute as desired with water. Sour oeer and
molasses a'tract moths, spread on boards
.placed in the orchards or on trunks of trees.
Paris green is very effectual when it can be
well applied; one pound mixed witn twenty
five pounds of flour or plaster is sufficiently
strong. Of London purplo use only one part
by weight to fifty parts of flour or plaster.
The common ground beetles, tho lace-winged
flies and the well. known "lady bugs" are old
Iriends of the horticulturist aud should be
piotected.
As regards tho noxious insects, the codlic
moth ranks, for destructiveness, nearly at the
top of the list. Paper or cloth bands are used
applied every ten days through spring and
early summer and in connection with the use
of a proper wash. The apple-tree borers, of
which there arc several kinds, are enemies of
tho apple, the quince and somo other trees.
When observed, cut tne larva: nut with a
kuifu and place a sheet of tarred roofiru' felt
about the cellar of the trees to prevent fur
ther ravage'. Dustings of lime are effectual
with the cherry and pear slugs, abundant in
moist regions, such as about Puget Sound.
Tbe plum curculio, which is not here yet,
but is perhaps ou the way, is an enemy that at
present cannot be conquered. There is no
remedy known except the jarring process, to
commence as soon as the fruit Bets snd jar the
tree three times a week for a month. ' This
shakes off the curculio bitten fruit, and it
should be gathered up and destroted. The
steel-bluo beetle, known as the grape-flea
beetle, nips the vine in the bud; the larva;
feed on the leaves iu the summer The bee
tles are jarred oil the vines in the early morn
ing, over an inverted uinbr.'lla, of lime is used
fur the larva; alum water. One ounce of alum
to a gallon of warm water deatr iys the straw
berry worm, b 1 does white helebore. Hand
picking is about the only remedy for the goos
berry fruit worm. The current b irer is troub
lesome. Cut out and burn all iiifec'ed branch
es; do the same with the raspberry twig
girdler. S. F. Bulletin.
Tree Planting Along the Railroad.
Hon. Philip Kitz, says the Walla Walla
Statesman, has just returned from the North
ern Pacific Railroad, where be has been some
time superintending the planting of trees
along the line of railway. He has a contract
to set out trees along the road where it passes
through the prairie 'country. He is now
planting between Wallula and 'a point twenty
miles east of Sprague. He will no doubt do
same in Montana. Mr. Ritz has set out two
kinds of maole, soft and hard, locust, black
walnut, box elder, cherry, peach and apple.
TUe-ie last fruit trees he his just iet out as an
experiment. If these grow, -thrive and bear
fruit, it will be evidence of the richness of the
soil and the adaptability of climate for or
chard growing, which will no doubt be taken
advantage of by the settlers in the Upper
Country. Mr. Ritx tell us that the trees
planted last year hsva grown rapidly and are
as thrifty as they could well be. Ha is wholly
satisfied that the experiment will be a great
success.
Sunflower
The New York correspondent of the Minne
apolis Tribune lays the mania for the golden
and or .hipful sunflower is assuming shrin
ing proportions. Before that audacious youth
sallied forth from "Pasionste Brompton" and
shook bis head at the American people, the
sunflower wasted its beauty in waste plicae
along the back-yard fence. U hat a change'
has come to pass! Now the New York florist
is almost driven to distraction by the demand
for sunflower seeds. Who buys! Nearly ev
erybody who has a strip of green around his
ho-se. Some of the rich people who live in
Brooklyn and other suburban places, and
thr as who have country seats have really gone
mad they are .-esthetic lunatics, as it wi re.
One man who exhibited an astonishing a-
mount of admiration for Oscar Wilde, has
made his gardener plant a double row tin
whole length of his lawn, where it meets the
road. When they grow up they will form a
hedge of sunflowers. This is truly an Ameri
om idea. Mrs. Cimahue Brown in her most
languid and soulfully Intense moments, never
1 reamed of such a wealth of golden glory.
Somo of the smaller varieties are worn in the
corsage of the society belle, or on the big hat
that are so popular now, and surround the
head like a halo, and if they are not painted
before long on the stockings that are worn on
fashionable legs, I am no prophet !
Ants as Insecticides.
It is new to us that ants are great destroy
ers of canker worms, and probably other
worms or insects of the smaller varieties. We
watched with great interest the work of a
large colony of black ants, which attacked the
canker worms on an elm tree on our grounds
a tew weeks ago, and were delighted with the
nature and results of tluir labors. Two pro
cessions of tbe ants were moving on the trunk
of the tree, one going up empty, the other
coming down, each ant bringing with him a
canker worm, which he held fast in his man
dibles, grasping th worm firmly in the center
of the body. Athough the prey as nearly
tho size of tho de troyer, the plucky little ant
would run down tho treo in a lively way, de
posit its booty in its nrst in the ground, and
instautly returned for further slaughter.
There were at one time as many as forty
coming down the tree, each bringing al ng
his victim, and doing the work with apparent
ease. Extending our observations, we noticed
that tho ants ran up the trunk ind out on
the limbs, and from thence on to the leaves of
the tree, where the f.lthy worm was at work,
and scixing him with a strong grip at about
the rente of the body, turned about with the
squirming worm aud retraced his stepj. Tho
worm was dead when the ant reached the
ground.
If this work of the ants is common, they
must prove valuable friends to farmers and
fruit raisers, and should be protected in every
way p S3ible. We do not believe that tho
birds that prey upon worms would do the
woik in a week, in our orchards, which these
ants w ere doing in an hour. We should be
pleased to know if this work of tl e ants has
been noticed. Boston Journal of Commerce,
Grain Handling on bnake Klver.
The Baumeister Brothers and others are
now making arrangements for the formation
of a company the purpose of which is to build
a steam, wire-rope tramway for lowering
grain from the bluffs on the Dead man to the
Snake River bottom The gram oars will be
worked upon the same principles as the cable
roads. The eugieo will bj stitiouery; the
loaded cars coining down tho hill will bo part
Iy cjuiitor-lialaucnl by tho empties going up.
This is thought to lie one ol tho most practi
cable aye of getting the grain down to the
banks of the river. The Deadman bluffs arc
neaily 'J.OUO leet liuli anil lis 1 eiy precipi
tately. It is the intention of tho company to
have this road built io tinio to carry off the
next gram crop. Major Truax's grain chute
is li ed with glass, nd stands 11,1011 an eleva
tion of about 45 degrees, and yet when the
grain is moist it clogs up the chhte. At the
bottom of the run-way he has erected a large
and substantial warehouse, which is built upon
a foundation of solid rock. Active prepara
tions are being made and contemplated by the
wurehouse men on Snake river for the recep
tion of next year's wheat crop, which it is es
timated will be double thU of any preceeding
year, provided the season will average with

From An Old Experimenter.
A correspondent to the Farming World
says; Iuyour last is a report of some tests
on thick and thin seeding, I like to see and
read such reports, I will give one. I was
setding clover seed that had been sown early
in the tail of 1847, and I double-sowed tuo
.ens ot it, making two-aud-a half bushels
per acre on the two acres, same seed and day
of sou tug broadcast. Ou the fifteen acres I
had 550 bushels from the machine. The two
acres had fine straw and were ripe five days
ahead of the rest of the piece, and yielded
(orty-eifht bushels per acre. Aud I have
always noticed that thickly seeded wheat or
oati ripened sooner than thin. This fact is
noticeable at the edge ot the crop on any
field, unless some local cause has affected it.
Now, I hope these experiments will bo car
ried cu for at least ten j ears, and then the
parties will find out that, as a rule, the "even
years" have produced the largest yields aud
be t grades of wheat. One,' or two, three,
four, five or six trials are hardly enough to
begin to say you have learned certain things
ti bo thus aud so. I have tried these miny
years to fully settle some things in my mind
that are yet undefined, and 1 do not stop
short of many experiments snd observations
before declariLg things to be so and so. I am
truiy pie -bed to see so much interest mani
fested by tanners to experiment, note facts
and report them. It shows that they are
thinking, and that their hearts are in their
calling.
Now, I will suggest to wheat raisers to
burn a plat of a few yards of ground with
brush or logs, then dig it up snd burn again
with straw or fine bruth, and tow to wheat
that is hand-picked, to be sure of its being
clean of all other seeds, and seed to drills
spart anil broadcast part, sowing the plat
before there has be'en any rain on it, snd
then report next year's crop ou it through the
Farming World.
I ' ' lood Va'to Plant Spring Bulbs.
The American Garden gives the following
somewhat novel nav of planting :
The only objection made to beds of spring
bulbs is, that though beautiful beyond des
cription while the bulbs are in flower, the
time of blooming is short; and thereafter the
beds look bare 'ind are not available for other
purposes. This fault can be overcome by a
little management ami the us 1 of such bulbs
as bloom successively. The following arrange
ment has proved successful with us for several
yeirs :
Make a round bed of any sixe and plant an
inner circular row of crocus, and next outside
a row of hyacinths; then a second row ot cro
cus, and net one of tulips. Continue this
until the bed is filled making every second
row crocus, and alternating hyacinths and
tulips between them. The row 011 tho extreme
edge must be crocus, and the space inside of
the first row should he filled with tulips or
hyacinths. The effect of a bsd thus prepared
is extremely pretty for a long time, and thus
arranged it may remain undisturbed two or
ti.ree years.
Snow has no sooner gone than the bed is
bright with the cheery little crocus, which
apparently covers tho whole surface. These
will hardly have passed away when wo havu
a bed of hyacinths, in all their delicate,
lovely tin. Tho tulips then form a climax
of gorgenusness that wdl last till the middle
of June. The foliage of tho crocu, which is
extremely dlieate and pretty, is iu perfection
during the flowering of tho hyacinths and
tulips, and covers the bed as with a lovely
green ctrpet, taking away the usual bare
baro look of bulb beds, when out of their time
of bloom. Still another succession might bo
had by scattering the bulbs of the Spauish
Iris through tho b-d. They are perfectly
hardy, with slendtr foliage, and furnish ex
quisitely beautiful flowers in every shade of
blue, purple, yellow, white and even choco
late. These, following the tulips, need only
seeing to be appreciated.
