Editor Willamette Farmer : As I have many friends nd relatives who are readers of your valuable paper, I wish ti give them my experience in poultry raising. Being Jeft in destitute circumstances, with three fatherless children to support, I was driven to action. I bought twenty-five common hens and two Plymouth Hock roosters. My hens were youni; and healthy and good layers, be cause well fed. About tho first of March my brother came to visit me, and made mo an in cubator that held 240 egg. The material cost mo 80, and it took him two days to make it. Between March and July 1st I hatched five incubators full of chickcns.OGS chicks in all. I sold them when about three months old to the hotels in tho villages near by. Tho first tixteen dozen chicks brought me $100, or tfl.afl per dozen. Tho next sixteen dozen brought $80, or ?5 per do.. The next sixteen dozen brought 872, and tho remaining twenty oven dozen that I sold $81; total, $333. I E laid for fuel $7.2."i leaving for my labor 285 "5, and this without any capital to start with. My brother living in 1'ennsylvania mde an incubator after he went home, and cleared on his chicks $437. He didn't raise as mny chicks as I did, but he shipped them to New York and got high prices. I lived so far from the railroad that I could not ship mino conveniently. An incubator is easy to manage, and takes but little time, ono hour a davbeing Buflicient. You can hatch all the fertile cgns and hatch them early, before you can got hens to set. I hive now live incubators, and expect to hatch 0,000 chicks, and I know I can clear fifty cents en each chick. I only have a small houso and lot. but you need but little room when you II them so young. This is work that any woman though in feeble health can do. In fact it is only good exercise and very profita ble. I know there are thousands of poor people who would turn their attention to poultry raising if they only knew how much nionov thev could make at it. Any one can fet plain instructions for making an incubator ike mine by Bcndiug stamps to repay postage to tho Incubator Company, advertised jn this issue. I hope that many of your read ers who are out of employment and have leisure time will try tho poultry business and report succcsa. Miu. Annik S. Cakk. Ben Woe, Tliero is a general complaint around the country hero that tho lion houses are infested with innumerable yes, millions of little mites or lice, much smaller than tho head of a pin, some white and others red. They cover all the wood work (if the buiiding. Please give what information you can for their destruc tion. A Submikiukk. Many of our correspondents ask "What hall I so to get rid of chicken lLc?" I have heard that question so often and answered it 0 many times that it is becoming a little monotonous; still for the benefit of the allhcted fouls mid their owners, I will go over the ground again, and I would advise all poultry raisers to keep this number of the FARMKufor future reference. "Eternal vigilanco is the price of" freedom from lice in fowl houses. A great many poul try keepers, whon they find their fowl houses 'warming with lice, go to work and clean them out in short order, and then seem to think that the work is done for all time; but tho lit tle tormenterH multiply and incrcaso with as tonishing rapidity, and in the courso of two or three months the inexperienced poultry keep er is astonished to find that his fowls have mote lice on their bodies than ever. If you ovpect to keep your fowls and their premises free from chicken lice, you must wage n constant warfare.

The plan that 1 have given repeated and thorough trials and that has nover 'ailed mo is to whitewash tho imido of the houses very spring and fall, and once or twice dur ing the summer; to fumigate occasionally with ulpliur; to use coal oil freely as a wash about the perches and on the backs of tho fowls; to use sulphur or tobacco stems in the nests, and to always keep a supply of road dust and ashes w here the fowls on wallow in at pleas ure. After the dust bath has been iu use- a mouth or i weeks, and the contents are emptied iuo a bariel, and used to sprinkle on the platform, and the Ihix is refilled with a fresh mixture of dint and ashes.

Wo tind the following sound advico in tho i'ouUrjf Monthly for No ember i Tlii'in are m.iiiy persons of moderate means who have hail, perhaps, some little experieuce with bleeding poultry, and who pet to won deiing if it will pay to hived poultry on a largo cale whether it will juy to embark in the breeding of poultry, fur market purposes, as a buniuess, and if it it good policy to give up a fair pi) ing clerkship, or small business, to en gage in it. Such tiucstious are very ditlicult to determine to the satisfaction of all persons iVuce rued, for much more really depends ou the person Inn ou the buaiueas iu nearly very department of human industry, ami war re one person may make a suvoea of any undertaking, another cue may fail, though having started with equally as good chance i)l success. l'oultry, to be successful ou large scale, mint be Wept iu small colonics of about fifty birds iu each, for many more thau that num ber iu a siugle house is apt to osuse sickurss or disease, ere long, amongst them.

They have not very great muscular tary measures. When the breeder is not too strength, are not nervous and powerful in far awavfrom large retail markets, and es- their movements, and are deficient in the pro- pecially where the breeder can market them f himself, thus saving commission, freight and loss, it pays best to keep poultry for the eggs they produce, as eggs known to be strictly frosh are always in good demand at quite an increase in price over that received for the or dinary "store" eggs. Such breeds as the White and the Brown Leghorns, and birds bred from them, cither pure-breu or cross i.-.i .. nmrln am first class eeir producers, while a game cock is also valuable to breed to good common hens, producing, as a rule, vigorous, active pullets which are invariably good layers. Those who wish to raise poul try principlv for tho flesh, should raise the Light llrahmas, Plymouth Kocks, Dark Hrahmas or some of the Cochin breeds, the ,.t tum tiamnil however, beinz eeneral fa voritcs. in this respect, and also combining with it good laying qualities uuuer iuiuiv circumstances. Those who cannot or will not give the poul try regular or constant attention, shelter them properly, supply proper food in liberal quanti ties and at frequent and regular intervals,and pay strict attention to cleanliness and thor oughness in all tho details of the management, need not expect even to succeed, not to even consider tho question of loss or profits, for success and profit here means work, work, work. The Duke of Argylo is acclimating the American wild turkey on his plantations. This should not be difficult, as English win ters are much milder than our own, and the turkey is a hardy bird, usually preferring to roost in trees in the coldest weather, rather than in closo houses. It pays to keep a poultry house clean. The droppings are very valuable, and the time em ployed at the labor of cleaning is well spent. Though not as valuable as Peruvian guano, poultry droppings are superior to every other article used for manure on the farm. Bulk for bulk, nothing but guano can equal it. Plymouth Rock fowls are probably the best general purpose fowl for formers. They are not so rambling and destructive as lighter breeds, are good layers through the year, good mothers and the chicks are uuusually hardy, and come early to maturity. They are the only variety with which a late hatched setting in the fall is not a misfortune. But with all their virtues they are not popular with fan ciers, who prefer breeds with a few strong points rather than general excellence. Always hayc good and fat poultry where possible; in the country you may comand it. About thrco weeks before you want to use them, six or twelve fowls, according to your consumption, should be put into the coop, and as you kill one or more replace them to keep up the stock; for the first week feed them al ternate dayi with boiled rice and soaked bread and milk. Tho remainder of the time mix Indian meal with the skimmings of your stock pot and a teaspoon of moist sugar. The windows of your poultry house must be dark-i-ned. Fowls should bo carefully drawn, so that tho gill bladder is uninjured, and this should only bo dono through the rent. Prairie. Farmer. The necessity for a variety of feed for chick ens, is generally understood, but very few peoplo arc aware of the value of sunflowers as hen feed. They are very productive of oil, are eaten grcodily, and give a peculiar luster to the feathers. I have one-eighth of an acre planted to this crop, und propose to bind them into bundles and stow them away in a dry place for winter use. Tho heads can be thrown into the hen house, where the chickens will soon pick out the seeds, thus giving them ex ercise as well as variety. With plenty of other grain within reach they will cut no more sunflower seeds than are beneficial to them. The seed can bo bought at our feed stores for one dollar per bushel, at which pneo it ought to be more generally used than it is. I think a plot of sunflowers, with their great yellow faces turned to tho sun, an agreeable sight. Co-operation Among Farmers. There is far too littlu of it. Attraction of repulsion is far more common than attraction of cohesien among tillers of the soil. Iu many localities it seems to be tho ambi tion of each farmer to see how much he can do without being dependent on his neighbors. Rich seems to suppose the less he has to do with his neighbors the bitter it is for him. It is not beyond the memory, or at least it belongs to the pleasnt traditions of some of the old settlements when log-rolling bees were common. The heavy timber had been felled, the logs chopped into suitable lengths, then the neighborhood was called together to log up the new clearini!, that is, roll up the heavy logs into immense heaps for burning. It was heavy and tedious work for two or three men, hut when, by mutual consent, lit teen or twenty strong men, with ox teams, long chains and heavy skids, were collected, it became almost sport to seo logs two and three feet in diameter piled up 10 and 12 feet high. It w.is so when log houses were built, barns and houses with 12 and 111 inch square tim tiiubers raised -every man regarded it a duty to assist in such operations. It is true- King Alcohol too often reigned. Hut on iiiiiiv a farm, even then, as ou our grandfather's and father's, and others whose gnat grandsons still own the farms, the de mon dunk was unknown, Still from the ne cessities of the case, the habits of the people led them to atliliate and associate where asso ciation helped on the work. There are many ways w hero the same spirit would work to the advantage of farmers uow. If they would form clubs in every school dis trict to ttlk over the interests ot agriculture, fruit growing, stock raising, and nvery new enterprise. If every farmer took a go d agri cultural paper, and would pay attention to anything of impoitauce he had read, much would I done to draw the youug people to gether, get and keep them interested in each nthr an:l in their common work bv discus sions, essays, etc. l'hiUultUM Prattkal farmer. A Dairy Cow. A dairy cow never reaches perfection in her line until (he ha arrived at maturity; and sht uinst reach this period of her life with all her faculties unimpaired it we expect bar to be as good a cow as nature intended her to be. She differs iu this resptct from the beat beef grow tug auinuls, which are mature, as it were from the start, and whose organization!, instead of being impaiml for their busiuesa by generations of high, early feeding, are rather more adapted to it. We all know that the oldest aud I it family of short horus are uot WILLAMETTE FARMER: PORTLAND, OREGON, JANUARY creative faculties. A good dairy cow should possess the appear ance of strength and firmness without being too compact, and she should possess no palpa bly weak point if she is expected to endure well in the work of the dairy. She should not bo selected for a breeder unless she pos sesses as an inheritance that shape which indi cates strong vitality and that quality which indicates activo secretory functions. In her well-shaped strong head, wide muzzle, mild eye, broad forehead, small waxy horn, slender neck, straight and slender foreleg, sharp chin, loose shoulder, broad ribs, open-jointed back bone, mellow skin, preponderating hind quar ters, long hind foot and broad forefoot, ample carcass, well-shaped udder, large superficial veins, soft hair, sne should indicate a capacity for converting foid into milk, as distinguished from that cow whoso rounder and fuller form and heavier bone and smoother joints and nar row head and heavier quarters show an espec ial aptitude to take on fat. S'kcletl. Baiting Butter. Butter is usually salted in accordance with tho demand of the market to which it is to be sent. American butter ii generally salted at the rate of about one ounce to the pouad. Perhaps the greater part of the sweet-cream butter has halt or less than half thatquantity. In the fouth of Europe, indeed all Latin coun tries, oil is in more general use than butter, and unsalted butter is preferred. The Par isian custom of serving butter entirely unsalt ed is sometimes aped in England and some of our American cities, but as a rule the mar kets demand that the butter shall carry more than half an ounco of salt. Unsalted butter will keep forever provided it is butter and only butter. But the butter of commerce is never pure. It retains more or les of the other properties of the milk, and it is these which, while thev add very much to its value, are subject to almost imme diate deterioration, and in turn tend to injure tho butter itself. Even salt will not long pre serve them. Unsalted butter does not keep. The nse of Bait in butter is more for flavoring than for preservative purposes. The protec tion and preservation of butter is duo far more to the packing than to the salt which is put in it. The Flesh of the Improved Hon- Swine breeders have not sufficiently borne in mind the variation in the amount of lean meat found in the carcasses of different hogs. The Berkshire is universally credited with having more lean than any other breed; but even Berkshircs vary in this regard, as do other classes of swine. Hence, by closely scanning the cut up carcasses, giving prefer ence to certain families showing liberal! pies ence of muscular substance, these t j be used as breeders, the relative quantity of lean could be increased in any family or breed. It is well known that some hogs, when reduced to an impoverished state, are really very thin as the term is understood, while the others, having as meagre an amount of fat as the thinnest, yet have greater fullness of all parts, and under no circumstance? do they become so lean in appearance as the others. This difference is owing entirely to the greater size ot the muscles tho motive parts and this ditferenco is invariably shown in tho cut-up meat. So it will bo seen that there are two modes of making a very correct estimate of this peculiar difference in swine by compar ing animals that are, so far as we are able to judge, alike reduced, then again scanning the fat carcasses as they lio side by side upon the block. Bay City, Mich., Feb. 3, 1880. I think it my duty to send you a recom mendation for tho beaetit of any person wish ing to know whether Hop Bitters are good or not. I know they aro good for general debil ity and indigestion; strengthen the nervous system and make new life. I recommend my patients to use them. Dr.. A. 1'katt, drain Handling on Snake Klver. Tho liaumeistcr Brothers and others are now making arrangements for tho foruntion of a company the purpose of which is to build a steam, wire-ropo tramway for lowering grain from the bluffs on tho Deadman to the Snako Kiver bottom The grain cars will be worked upon the same principles as the cable roads. Tho engiee will be stationery; the loaded cars coming down the hill will lie part ly counter-balanced by the empties going up. This is thought to be one of the most practi cable ways of getting the grain down to the banks of the river. The Deadman bluffs are nearly 2,000 feet high and rise very precipi tately. It is the intention of the company to have this road built in time to carry off the next grain crop. Major Truax's grain chute is lined with glass, end stands upon an eleva tion of about 45 degrees, and yet when the grain is moist it clogs up the chuto. At the bottom of tho run-way ho has erected a large and substantial warehouse, which is built upon a foundation of solid rock. Active prepara tions aro being made aiul contemplated by the warehouse men on Snake river for the recep tion of next year's w heat crop, which it is ei timati'd will be dotil lo that of any preceediiig year, provided the season will average with those of tho past.

Acting Secretary Joslyn recently rendered a decision in the case of Julius Berg against Wm. A. A. Perkins, originating in the Crock ston, Mian., land district. The decision was rendered on an appeal from a decision of the commissioner of the general land office, de clining to cancel, on a charge of abandonment, the homestead entry of Perkins. Tho secre tary affirms the commissioner's decision. The settler failed to complete his house and make permanent residence on the land within six montha of entry, although he had a large por tion in crop and had made preliminary ar rangements for building. Failure was shown at the hearing to have been partly, if not wholly, occasioned by climatic reasons, and the secretary informs tho commissioner that he is warranted, under the act of March 3, 1881, to allow in his discretion a further pe riod of six months, within which the residence may be established. The secretary recites the fact that this period had not expired at the date of the contest, and that there is no alle gation that Perkins had failed to meet the provisions of the act. On the contrary, it is lufficiently shown that he is no material laches under it. The commissioner declines, without referring to the act, to disturb the entry upon the equitable grounds of long es tablished practice, and his decision is affirmed for the reasons given, as well as upon the additional grounds of the legal relief afforded by tho statute cited. The acting secretary has also decided the case of Andrias Schmidt against Charles II. Stillwell, involving the latter's timber culture entry at Yankton, D. T on his appeal from the decision of the commissioner holding the entry for cancellation. It appears that in January, 1879, Schmidt purchased, at the expense ot several hundred dollars, the im provement and possessory right of a former timber culture claimant to the tract, and re ceived a relinguishment thereof, which he afterward filed in the local office, and at the same time applied verbally to enter tho tract under the timber culture laws, and tendered the fees therefor. His application was re fused, pending action by the general land office upon the relinguishment, but he was instructed by the officers that his rights would be protected, and his name was entered on their records to indicate his claim. He after wards repeatedly visited the officer for the purpose of proving his entry, each time re newing his verbal application, and was each time advised as at first. Notice of the can cellation of the former entry reached the local office August 11, 1880, on which day the offi cers, in pursuance of their promise, notified Schmidt thereof by mail. Upon the san e day Stillwell made his entry. On or about August 17th, as soon as he received said no tice, Schmidt again applied to enter the tract, but his application was refused, by reason of Stillwell's entry. The acting secretary holds that this case is fairly in the ruling of the supreme court, whicn noius mat wnere an individual, in the prosecution of a right, does everything which the law requires him to do, and he fails from the misconduct or negli gence of a public officer, the law will protect him, or, if not fully within that decision, it is manifestly covered by another ruling of the supreme court. Ihe register and reeeiver, having for a reason entirely independent of any want of technical completentss, declined to permit his entry, while at the same time recognizing him as an applicant for the tract, and entitled to the usual claimant after can cellation of the previous entry, Schmidt vis ited tho land office for the purpose of making his entry, and tendered the fees, and "it must be presumed," the acting secretary says, "that he would have made a written appli cation but for the advico of the officer that it would not ba favorably considered. Although there appears to bo no neglect or misconduct on their part, yet their advico undoubtedly induced Schmidt to neglect that which he proposed to do, viz.: To make a legal appli cation for the tract. The objection that he did not make a written application is techni oal and not equitable, for he had, when filing the relinguishment, also filed a written appli cation, hii preference right might probably have been secured. Where a party acts upon the suggestions of the officers of the govern ment, he should lose nothing, unless required by the absolute demand of the law, especially when the adverse claim is so unequitable as that of Stillwell's. Schmidt, upon his pur chase, entered into immediate possession of the tract, upon which a few ucies had been broken, aud he broke a few additional acres, which fact, as well as Schmidt's claim, Still w oil appears to have well known at the date of his entry. Schmidt is a Russian by birth, having been in this country but two years, and ignorant of its language aud land laws, and this department will protect such persons, so far as it can within the law, from the ra pacity of those who would take advantage of their ignorance to acquire their rights aud appropriate their property." The decision of the commissioner was af firmed. The ColvlUe Valley. Mr, James Monahan, poverument contract or, aud citiieu of Colville valley, is in the city this week, says tho Walla Walla Statesman, Of that country he says, the area of valley is limited, and most of the arable land has been taken up, but there are tens of thousands of lieiich lands, yet unsettled, and this will make t;oil farming and grazing land, A large pop ulation can be supported in Stevens county, the largest in the Territory, being 13,000 miles in extent. He siys limestone abounds, and when that branch of industry ii improved it will supply building material for the upper country that now has to come from Pugtt Sound at great expense. Coal hsi been dis covered in that county, and granite and slate formations exist, and there are undoubtedly valuable deposits through all that region that may some time well pay for the investment of capital and labor. At present Stevens county is but little known. Settler hare been attracted there because the military post at Fort Colville had to be supplied with necessaries, but the troops hae been removed from that point, and the tettlcrs will have to be thrown mote en their 22. 1882 own resources. The extent of agriculture 1 land near transportation that invites settle ment will prevent any immediate influx of population to that section, but at the rate im migration is coming to the Pacific Northwest, it will not bo many years before Stevens coun ty will be better known and settled. Its va ried resources will insure for its great prosper ity in the not distant future, Hopgrowers and oystermen bid fair to be come tho nabobs of I'uget Sound. Hopj have brought so much coin to tho Puyallup and and White river farmers that they hardly know what to do with it, and the oystermen are having a large degrea of hard earned and well deserved prosperity. Even the natives here aro getting rich. One of them is now having a little schooner built at Mr. Ethridge's shipyard tor use in the oyster business. If proper laws could be enacted and enforced guarding the rights ot the oystermen and at the same time protecting the beds from need less injury, this industry would Boon be a large and immensely valuable one to Olympia and the adjacent headwaters of the Sound. The large owners should units in asking the next Legislature to enact a well-framed and stringent law on this subject. "Rough on Hats."
