8T00S INTERESTS.
It is evident tha our northern region i
making rapid advancement in raising good
tock. A v, e grow in strength and resources
oar stock men re dizo tlio tired o( improve
ment, ami cnntantly introduce new animals
of the bst breeds We confer the horsesof
this sec1 foil aln ii up to theliest to be had for
practical ui's in an" state of thUrrnn. There
in a full proportion of thoroughbreds of high
ttanding, and the liest families if trottine
stock are well represented. Roadsters and
heavy work stock show here the best of Nor
mans and Clydesdale, and a good assortment
of well-built animils grades from them and
other brands tfiit are represented by a joung
stock through the country that fully equal
what we have a right to expect.
In other lines of stock we are not so well
off. Short horns we have in reasonable abun
dance, of the best blood obtainable; much of
this breed can be purchased, probably, at less
" price than in older states for animals of equal
excellence. There are Devons in the country
also, that prove themselves well adapted to
our native ranges. These answerall practical
uset, but we know of parties who intend to
introduce the j oiled Angus or black Galloway
stock. So far as be- f stock is concerned onr
stock meu can improve their herds from a
a dozen brcedeis of shnrt-hori'.s and Dvons.
The chief Interest nnwcenWs in dairy stock.
Jersrys divide the attention of dairymen with
Holstein, for whilo the former ore pood butter
stock, the latter answer better for cheese, and
that is a leadiuc interest. The introduction
of Jersey cattle is now going on constantly.
Last week we spoke of a drovo of nine choice
animals that cirac on the steamer, bound for
the southern narl of Marion county. It will
not be long before Jersey cattle aie known all
over Oregon Already grade Jerseys are be
coming common in some localities, and care
ful selection and i, cre.iso will rapidly tell of
improvement. Some good Holsteins are here.
The most important qu stion refcre to the
comparative of the different families of daily
cattle. We should like to have that or any
other matter relating to cattle, receive the at
tention of our c rrepo' dents.
In the line of sheep our county hi s made
reasonable progifs ami we nly need to com
bine mutt n and ool to realize al. that is de
sirable. That is a nutter ue treat elsewhcie.
For many ve rs we hae been ablo to make
first rate exhibits of swine. Chiefly of Berk
shiros, but also of the best I'olaud-Chiaas.
We have vaiious o her brands in the country,
and enterprising mn nre constantly bringing
annd animals here. The nork tiade of the
country ou h' to bo encouraged; fresh poik
is worth 7 to 7i os at which pneo for the
meat, when wheat averages 80 cts in the Wil
lamette valley and les than that cast of the
mountains, it ought to be very profitable to
raise pork. It is time the importation of
hams, bacon and lard, from Chicigo, St. Lou
is and Omiha, ca-ne to an end. As we pro
gress all industries mu-t takeptrmanent shape
and the breeding and fattening of s .vine will
lieoome of importincn here, as elsewhere.
The Eorie'i Hoof How to Preserve It.
The horse's hoof necessarily sees the hard
est iei vice i'f any portion of his structure;
and is the only pirt that can be mutilated
by cutting and burninp, as is the common
practice, by men calling themselves shoers,
and by nails made too large and driven too
deep. Every hone owner of experience will,
when he has occasion for the first time to
have a colt shod, select a smith who will do
as the owner directs, and not follow the prac
tice generally in vogue in times past, and still
too commonly practiced. It is probable that
outside of the farm more horses are defective
in the feet than in any other part. Tris comes
from the combined influences of hard usage
and mutilation in shoeing; largely from the
latter, becauso hoof properly trimmed and
hod will stand an extnordiny amonnt of
contact, however rough, with every sort of
pavement in me.
It is within the power of the farmer to
breed horses with properly formed hoofs, and
equally in his power to preserve these in
proper form, by seeing that they are kept in
the shape that nature nave them. If we breed
from a flat-footed sire or dam, then, of course,
the penalty is incurred of having a pretty good
oft ground hoof, but in no wise such a one as
will stand use upon hard roada and paved
streets. The young horse on whom is bred a
properly-shaped font goes to the smith for the
first time, carrying awide heel, a smooth
outer surface and a sharp ring at the outer
circle below. The man w ho is well informed
as to the foot, goe t the average smith the
first time -vith a fe.-ling of dread.
A properly formed hoof, on the well-bred
colt, is straight from the top downwards, and
has exactly the circular form that should be
maintained, the shoe in every case being fitted
to the foot, and 'not, as is the practice with
the avi rage smith, who cats and rasps the
hoof to fit the shoe. With the botch it is
much easier to do the Utter than the former,
for when the shoe is once made fast it is but
the work of a moment to cot away and rasp
down the projecting rim of horny structure.
The forward portion of the hoof is firm and
somewhat thica as compared to the lamina at
the heel, and cats much harder. Hence it is
easier for the smith to pare down the heel at
the bottom of the foot than to cut away the toe
in like manner.
Tne directum should be to cut from the
bottom of the hoof till it is of the right depth
from top downwards.
At this stage of the cutting tbe hoof will
assume the circular ft rui, and to this form the
hoe should be accurately fitted so accu
rately that no rim of hoof will project beyond
the shoe, at any rate, not more than theeighth
of an inch, eisept here, as is often the case,
a poiut of hoof on one tide projects further
than the opposite side, in which case the foot
requires to be made true.
The nails for well-bred horse, Jiaving a
tough hoot, should be considerably less in sixe
than are proper to be used on a dralt horse;
and in the case of the former they should not
extend upwards into the hoof more thar five
eighths of n inch. For the horse of medium
ize and the heavy draft-horse three-fourths
to een eighths of an inch will be admissible.
T te free of the hoof should be under no pre
tence be rasped or filed, neither should any
mith be allowed to hold a hot shoo to the
bottom of the foot. The surface remains, as
in 'he unshod colt, elastic, through the oil and
moisture furnished to it. But when rasped,
this escapes, and the f-ot becomes britt'e and
liable to fever. The burning of the bottom of
the hoof is barbarous and destructive to the
tissues. National Liee-Stock Journal.
Why Beef Is Dear.
The reasons given for the current high
price of beef are many. The winter of 1880
and 1881 was exceptionally severe, and heavy
losses of stock wera suffered on the great cat
tle ranges of the West. The drongth of the
ensuing summer acted not less unfavorably
upon the smaller herds of the Eat. 'The hay
crop was short, and the summer and fall pas
turage failed over many States', so that farm
ers were forced to kill their young stock. In
this way, we are toid, the beef supply was
diminished both in quantity and quality,
leaving the demand for good beef far in ad
vnnce of the supply. The exportation of
nearly 200,000 cattle contributed still further
to lessen the beef supply for home market.
Advantage was taken of the situation by
speculative dealers and combinations control
ling millions of capital, and by local rings of
butchers and marketmen, and the price of
betf was thereby raised far above what it
would have been in the ordinary course of
trade.
All these conditions no doubt had their in
fluence, yet underlying them all was one of
atly greater scope snd potency. Notwith
standing the enormous advance made in cattle
raising during the past twenty years or so,
tho increased supply, oven in favorable sea
sons, Ins not been at all commensurate with
the increase in the demind for beef. The ra
tio of increase in cattle is hss than that in
population, so that even w ith no change in
dietic habi's, the demand for beef would tend
steadily to outrun tlia supply. Hut our ap
petite for beef increases much more rapidly
than our numbers. The marketman makes his
daily rounds w ith fresh beef in hundreds of
communities where salt pork was eiten
almost txclusively twenty-five years aco; and
gener.illv throughout the countiy beef h.s
largely di'placed pork on the tables of farm
ers mco'ian'os and all other well-to do
people,
Leivingfut of consideration any possible
increase m the demind for beef for exporta
tion, we may reasonably anticipate that the
heme demand for bef will continue to in
crease as fast, if not faster, than the popula
tion does; and there can be no marked de
cline from the present excessive trices until
t' e supply of betf cattle is brought up to the
1 e of the popular requirement. It is notthc
prime cost of beef cattle in the field or their
necessary cost in the si ambits, after being
driven or carried half across the continent,
that chiefly determines the price of meat to
the consumer, but tho single fact that the
supply ts relatively so meagre that cattle
racers can ask and readily get prices which
enable them to make twenty, thirty, even
fifty per cent, profit per annum on the money
invested , Belling for six cents a pound, live
weight, cattle which cost two cents a pound
to raise. Scintific American.
The Ooat.
The goat was coeval with the ox and the
sheep, in those regions of the East whore civ
ilization first dawned upon mankind. He was
a part in the mythological systems of the first
nations. In the Sacred Scriptures, he is con
stantly referred to as forming the wealth of
patriarchal families. By the laws of Moses,
his meat was allowed to be used as human
food, and he was ordained to be employed in
remarkable religious ceremonies. "Thou shalt
make curtains of goats' hair as a covering to
the tabernacle," was a sacred injunction. The
earliest Qrecian and Roman writers speak of
it yielding food and raiment, and superstition
connected it with the attributes and services
of the gods. Jt has been the universal com
panion of mankind in their migrations, from
the earliest periods of authentic history. Yet
it ia a remarkable fact that no goats were
found in New Holland, or in the Polynesian
Islands, and more strange still, no traces of
the domesticated goat were found on this con
tinent, though, at its discovery, it was peo
pled throughout. There was, however, the
I wild Rocky Mountain goat, which, if it could
be domesticated, it is supposed, might posses
some valuable properties.
The fleece of the goat has furnished man
with his richest, most durable and gorgeous
attire; its nutritious and wholesome milk and
meat have yielded him food; its akin has sup
plied the materials for water sacks or bottles,
morocco, etc., while the animal itself may be
aid to have lived on chips. And yet among
u the goat is the subject of an unnatural and
unreasonable prejudice.
Oar foreign population, however, are git ing
more attention to the breeding and manage
ment of these negb cted animals, especially for
their v luable milking properties
Mr. I. S. DiehL our former Consul at Bat
via, says: "The goat is an indiscriminate
feeder, living on weeds, brows, etc., where a
sheep would starve. Its milk is much used by
travelers and families, and espe:ially by in
habitants i f tropical, bilioui and fever coun
tries, as a preventive and cure for those and
other diseases incident to such countries. The
medicinal qualities of gnat's milk have long
been known and acknowledged in the old
world and in some parts of this country.it be
ing not only very wholesome, but leaa liable to
curdle on the tomach. By those who have
tested the different kinds of milk, it is much
teemed and preferred ia tea and coffee, and
WILLAMETTE FARMER; .PORTLAND, OREGON, .DECEMBER, 22 1882.
is largely used for children and consumptives
and invalids, especially at the various hos
pitals in Europe."
Mr. James B. Davis, of South Carolina, who
has traveled n.uch in the East, says :
'The Malta milking goat gives about a gal
lon of milk per day. It may not be uninter
esting for me to state a fact observed by me in
the malarious sections of the United States
and Mexico. In all similar eectitns in Asia
and the East, they regard cow's milk as being
an exciting cause to bilious fevers as well as
to liver complaint, and hence only use goat's
milk. The 'moilus agendC has been under dis
cussion by the faculty of Paris."
Professor Law says :
"Persons, even in large towns, could, by
the means of a goat, readily supply themselves
with milk far superior to that which they
commonly obtain, and it is surprising that a
method so simple and cheap, and of avoiding
the frauds too much practiced in this kind of
food, should be neglectid."
A goat can be kept cheaper than a sheep,
and can be kept about the house of the poor
man, or tied by the roadside. It will live on
the refuse of the kitchen and a little coarse
feed, and yield from two to four quarts of the
richest and most wholesome milk per day dur
ing nearly the year round. '
The Scind goat, the Maltese, Syrian, and
some other varieties are valuable milkers, and
for convenience and economy to the poor,
where food is high and pasturage scarce they
have, in many places, even in the country
supplanted the cow.
Tho goat crops even poisonous plants with
impunity and relish, and no leaves or herbage
seem to affect the quality of its milk. When
ever a gentleman keeps a horse and cannot
keep a cow, for want of room, etc., a goat can
be kept on the leavings of the horse, and the
family health and comfort promoted thereby.
Mr. I. S. Gne, of Brownsville, Pa., had an
Assyrian goat which gave a gallon of milk per
day, Mr. Diehl had a similar goat equally
good, whose milk he sold to physicians for
their patients for twenty cents a quart.
Tho kid should be taken off when about
three weeks old. The goat should then yield
about three quarts per day till about three
months before parturition, when the quantity
may be gradually reduced.
A goat should always bo milked three times
a day. This is better for the health of the
goat, and improves the quality and qnantity
of tho milk. It ia not generally known that a
gOJt will give more milk tethend to a certain
spot, and inovel now and then, than when she
is permitted to run at large. If mischievous,
she can be yoked and fettered.
1 he Wf ol-bearing gmt is just now (1S6S) a
subject of great intrestto our manufacturers,
for the time is not far distant when fine and
rich worsted stuffs will be made in tlrs coun
try from its wool, rivaling tho norgeous, dur
able and brilliant fabrics of tro far-famed
Cashmere We are already making worsted
stuffs and lustr. us Oi leans goods; and all that
is now wanted are the looms and skillful
workmen. These, to begin with, can be im
ported. Descrip ions and representations of
the Indian Cishmere looms, and the Persian
shawl looms, etc ,are now in possession of our
Agricultural Department, sent home from the
Paris Exposition by an intelligent gentleman,
familiar with Eastern manufactures, now
travelinp throjghout Europe and some parts
of Asia, making a more elaborate and thor
ough examination of the wholo subject.
There are in the United States from 3,000
to 4,000 of these wool-beariug goats of the
best known breeds. In this country these
animals are improved in size, weight, and
quality of the fleece. The three-fonrths blood
yield a fleece as soft and fine as the imported
animal, but not so long. This is more than
England can boast ot. France has been more
successful, but not as successful as our breed
ers in the acclimation of this goat.
We conclude by expressing the belief that
the girl is now living who will wear on her
wedding day a Cashmere shawl of American
manufacture. Boston Cultivator.
Bow Batter may be Spoiled.
Good butter may be spoiled in churning
Over churning ruins the texture and changes
the proper waxineas to a disagreeable sticky
greaslness. This is more easily done in a churn
with dishes, which will press the butter
against the sides of the churn and squeeze and
rub it until it is spoiled. Too long churning
spoils tho quality by the oxidation of the but
ter and the premature formation oi strong
flavored acids in it, the full presence of which
we call rancidity. It may be spoiled at too
high a temperature, by which it is made soft
and oily, and ot a greasy texture ot flavor.
No subsequent treatment can remedy this
error. It may be spoiled before the cream
reaches tho churn by keeping it too long, or,
what is practically the same, by keeping it in
too warm a place. Fifty degrees is about the
right temperature if the cream is kept a week;
if kept at sixty-two degrees three days is Ion?
enough. White specks are produced in butter
by over churning or by having the butter too
sour. Either of these (aula produce curd in
the milk, and the small flakes of this cannot
be waahed out of the butter. Milk from the
cow in ill health, and that Uacidwhen drawn,
will produce rpecky butter. So will the UBe

Fattening Turkeys.
Turkeys while fattening should always be
left at liberty; it does not answer to shut them
up. The hens put on flesh more rapidly and
are more delicate eating than the cocks, but
naturally they do not attain the same size and
wt ight. It takes about six weeks to produce
a really fine specimen. The better plan is,
when intending to fatten, to make for tho first
fortnight no change in the ordinary food be
yond a supplementary repast at nightfall.
This meal may consist of potatoes, beet root,
grain of any kind, acorns, chestnuts, or any
thing that may be abundant in the locality.
Where walnuts abound, French breeders are
fond of administering them whole, bolus fash
ion, and will give as many as forty to a turkey
in the last stage of the fattening process, but
these nuts are said to communicate a disagree
able flavor of oil to the fhsh. During the sec
ond fortnight the turkeys should be fed on
mashed potatoes, barley, maize, or buckwheat
meal mixed into paste with either water or
curdled or sweet milk. This paste ia ma le in
to little rolls as thick ss the finger and about
three inches long, which are dipped in milk
and gently pressed down the throat of the
bird, an additional one being given at each
meal that is to say, morning and evening,
During the daytime they wander about the
fields, or still better, in the woods, in large
numbers, under tho care of some child, who
has to see that they do not get at any noxious
plants, such as hemlock, digitalis, certain
kinds of ranunculus and other". In this way
they provide, at a small expense, a good part
of their subsistence, and, indeed, we may as
well state, that where there is not a pretty
extensive range for them it is not possible to
rear turkeys w ith economy, for it is a great
point to have a large number together Ex.
Profits In Ducks.
Ducks are profitable stock to raise if we can
give them liberty to forage about and hunt a
Bhare of their living. They aro not as profit
able as hens if kept in confinement, because
they will consumo more food and lay a less
number of eggs. On low, marshy grounds,
ponds or streams, Ihey will thrive on tho
grass and plants, and feed on the ni)riad of
insects i nd larva; they find swimming on the
water, adhered to the vegetation, or imbedded
n the mud, and require but an evming meal
of grain to enticj them to return icgularly to
their home.
Ducks raised about firm yards, though per
haps not having much water privileges, seem
to do well and aro contented and happy.
Much of the coarse stuff growing about the
bainj.ird, tho orchard, the stubble fields and
m.id'ides they consume, and with an i voting
feed of grain keeps them in thrift until shut
up for fattening. Ducks are rapid growers,
ami are considered by tho nujonty of people
as hardy birds after they pass the period of
ducklinghood.
M iny a farmer has realized far more from
raising ducks and geese than he would from
any other poultry stock, for they are food
foiagers and lay remarkably well during some
parts of the season. As soon as the ducks
commence to lay, eggs should be gathered
every morning and put carefully away. As
soon as a hen wants to sit, set her with duck
egg and allow her to hatch and rear the
oung. If the ducks think they have laid
enough and show signs of- brnodiness, give
them a Betting of their own eggs and put them
iu a convenient coop, well shaded with
branches. A shallow tub, kept well filled
with water, will afford bathing room for the
ducklings until they are two or three months
Id, or perhaps longer. Poultry Magazine.
Presernnt Eggs.
About a year ago I put down a quantity ot
fresh eggs in various ways for the purpose of
testing the merits of each particular method.
The lime and salt mixture, consisting of one
pint of lime, newly slaked, nd one pound of
alt, well stirred with a ten-quart pail of w
tr, kept the eggs very well1-for six months,
when the whites began to become clouded and
the yolks dark and 'too tough'to beat up". The
mixture of beeswax, melted with twice as
much olive .oil, smeared, while warm, over
i ggs, kept the eggs well for a year, and some
of the eggs yet unused are sti'l gool. Those
egirs which were thus prepared and packed in
air-slaked lime kept bctter.than others packed
in oats; the latter tastsd considerably of the
rancid oil, which seemed to bo ab orbed. Tho
i ggs covered with melted paraffine kpt the
best of all, and tnose of them that were put
down in weak brine, in which they sank to
the bottom, kept better than others packed in
dry salt or in plaster. Siuco tin n I have he
coma acquainted with a German preparation
of salt, saltpetre and borax, which, however,
is patented in America. I have some eggs
put down in this for five months, and they are
equal to fresh eggs, even when lioiled for eat
ing, a very delicate test, as eggs very so in ex
hibit any stalenes when so cooked. An
omelette made of eggs put down in this solu
tion was very good, and so was one male of
eggs a year old kept in paraffine, as was also
a sponue cake made of beaten eggs. 1'arallino
is easily removed from the shells by hobl ing
them in hot water for a abort time. The salt
and lime mixture and the German salt both
keep the shells in perfect conditb n, and aim-
I I''e ,n,'"g "'y ' n quired to drama them. I

man. Keeping Poultry,
The poultry 1 ouse, to b madu in thf bst
manner, should be a frame, planked up with
one inch plank, tloae enough t prrvi n' ver
min from entering, and to se-cure sufli isnt
warmth. The aij of the building may lw
account of the vermin. If such it should be
made aotid and kept regularly cleaned off.
For perches have poles with the bark on, two
to four inches in diameter. Some piefer sas
safras, belicvirg it will prevent d'S"ase. It
will bo found beneficial towards preventing
lice. Tlace the perches firmly and all, about
tho samo hright. Near the house, or where
the chickens mostly range, prepare a large
box, filled with ashes, for tho purpose of a
good preventive against lice. If the lice
should appear, mix sulphur with the ahcs.
The best preventive against lico we ever tried
were cedar boughs. We sometimes put a
small cedar bush in our poultry house, which
completely exterminates them. Ex.
Killing Fowls.
The custom still in vogue in some parts of
the country, ot wringing the nech of fowls, to
me, seems a relio of barbarism. It ia not only
cruel, but ia unsanitary. When killed in this
way, instead of cutting the head off, the body
all remains in the body, rendering the flesh
unwholesome, as it would be in the case of the
ox. The blood is very putrefactive, as all may
know by allowing some to remain in the sun a
half hour in warm weather, omitting a bad
odor in a very short time. When we remem
ber that about one-half of the blood is com
posed of the wate and worn-out portious of
the body, semi-poisonous, and that this parti
cularly, with tho purer portion, soon putrifies
whilo remaining just where they are in life, it
is evident that all of the flesh will become
morn or less affected by the putrescent mass.
Instead of this barbarous wringing of tho
neck, it is advisable to cut the head off at a
single blow with a sharp instrument, that the
blood may freely flow with all of the waste
matter. That this may be done effectually, it
is well to bang by tho logs as soon as possible
that the blood may flow while still warm.
