Visit to Lake County.
Prlnetllle Xew.
If one bo possessed of a sufficiency of con
stitutional strength (the greatest draft in
made on the elbows and lungs) to endure a
ride of one hundred and fifty miles behind a
bunch grass bugey team, a trip across the
deiert south of us might afford a series of in
cidents ami pleasure? unexpected and un
looked for in a country that is just beeinning
to awaken into life. We (there are always
two of us) were encouraged to believe that
the necessary ability was in out possession,
and after tiking leave of various friends who
almost wept for joy at our departure, launched
ourselves upon the vast desert. Most aus
picious wero the circumstances that attended
our departure end first day's travel. Twenty
five miles travel over a hard and level, but
somewhat dusty road, through extensive
ranges of uever failing bunch trrass, where
hundreds of cattle industriously grazed,
brought us to our hotel for the night. This
favorite resort is situated on the outside of
Bear Creek Buttes, in a narrow canyon. Some
idea of its narrowness may be gained when it
is known that the house is on one hill, and I
the front porch is on another. The landlord
had all of the characteristics peculiar o his
class, and, of course, was glad to see us. We
discovered the source of his joy after paying
our bill next morning. But the next day's
drive was even pleasanter than the first, if
possible, though the scarcity of water as a
drawback, tint so far as the team was con
cernedwo had supplied ourselves with a
bottle of water before leaving home. And
after ending the day's journey, .which brought
us to the celebrated watering place known as
Button Springs, we were sorry that we had
not brought bread also. This paridaisical
hotel-in-the-ground is between sixty and sev
enty miles south of Prineville, and is occupied
solely for the purpose of accommodating the
unfortunate traveler, Here the weary pil
grim may find food and rcet after a toilsome
journey of forty miles, either coming or going.
The ranch was located years aco by an enter
prising individual who discovered a spring
near the natural roadway, and rewarded him
self by selling water to thirsty men and ani
mals. Of course, ho had things all his own
way, and sold at 25 cents a drink, or rather
25 cents a fill, which is about the same thing
in this country, and it is said that he used to
charge two bits to look at a man ride by.
This was about the .jame as an average silver
mine, but one day a mean fellow discovered a
nice little lake just over the hill, and there
was a sudden depreciation in the value of
Button Spring water. We could get no satis
factory answer to our ear jest enquiries as to
whether the former proprietor was dead or
not. Dr. Thompson acted as host of the
evening, but was there only on probation.
He complained of the ill-arranged house, and
(general incouvenience of things. Either the
door was too low or the Doctor was too high,
for he had to double up like a jack knife and
"scoot" in or out, as occasion required. The
fault might have been with the door or the
Doctor, but the latter failing was one over
wbich he had no control, and as he only in
tended to remain this winter, had concluded
to make no changes. Another 40 miles drive,
under a clear sky, and past a continuous series
of the most beautiful landscapes we ever
beheld, but uninhabitable on account of the
absenco of water, we arrived at Silver Lake,
where we were entertained with true hospi
tality. This lake is situated in the midst of
an cxtersive grass producing country, and its
shores are dotted with the residences of the
settlers. Summer Lake lies about 15 milts
south of Silver Lake, and is much larger, be
ing upwards of 20 miles in length, with an
average with of seven or eight miles. On
the west shore of Summer Lake are many fine
stock ranches, as well as large tracts of ara
ble agricultural land.
Our real destination being reached, a glance
at the surroundings revealed some of the most
btautiful farms one might imagine. True
these places are not yet under high cultiva
tion, nor ornamented with very great im
provements, as time is required to do all this,
out their natural beauties and advantages are
apparent, and before many years have come
and gone, Summer Lake settlement w ill be
one of the cosiest and pleasantest neighbor
hoods, so far as natural resources and beauti
ful surrounding go to make this, in the State.
We spent several pleasant days with our
friends, Messrs. Dillard k Partin, who are
engageJ in the cattle business, and in the
meantime took in the sights and hospitality of
Paisley, a beautifully situated a'id a fine,
growing town, This latter place is built upon
the banks of the Chewaucan river, ten miles
south of Summer Lake. Being built far in
land, like our own town, and depending
mainly on the stock men for support, it is the
'distribnting'point for a vast territory.
..There are two stores', well filled with gen
eral merchandize, and both doing a lively
bnsiness. Two blacksmith shops, one hotel,
livery stable, salooi., and, in fact, a fair rep
resentition of the various trades and profes
sions that are necessary to the growth and
progress of a town. Paisley, also, has a neat
mod commodious s:hool bouse, well furnished,
and at present occupied by a large school.
Also, a town hall, built and owned by by J. P.
Cochran, an enterprising business man and
merchant. It b Urge, well arranged and an
ornament to the plaoe. We would be pleased
to mention, in detail, the many pleasures en
joyed at this very lively little town, but have
not space to do so. We called at the stock
farm of Mr. Coster, and had the pleasure of
seeing some of the finest runners in the State,
among whom was Lulu Iiiggs, in the fall en
joyment of home life. The sports and adven
tures of onr voyage to Lake county, if all
told, would make a volume, but let this suf
fice for the present, as we hope to be (
able to give a better general descriptive'
article under the same heading before many
months. After two weeks spent in relax
ation away from the cares of busincs, as
well as fleeing from tho appointm nt to some
high official honor, we returned to our homes,
and were almost as well pleased at our safe
return as our friends were happy to' ate us.
Yakima County.
Albany Democrat.
Our sage brush country is filling up rapidly
with a good, solid class of people. Two years
ago our vote was about 500 and this e.ection
about 800, giving an increase of 300 votes.
And they are now reclaiming the dry sage
plains by irrigation, and the sage land, when
properly irrigated, is the most productive soil
in the conntry, and wo have a large domain
of that quality of land yet vacant, inviting
settlers to come and establish homes for them
selves and families. Besides our sage plains,
we have some valley lands yet near the foot
hills that are vacant, and a large amount of
high bunch grass, or tablelands, yet unsettled.
Also, tho Yakima Indian reservation embraces
perhaps the finest valley in Eastern Washing
ton, and our people are now petitioning Con
gress to open up that large domain for settle
ment, and give what few Indians there are
left on it, the homestead privilege, instead of
the reservation. There are but few Indians
on the reserve, and they express their willing
ness to cut loose from their tribal relations,
and each one have a piece of land to himself,
that he can call his own. They are tired of
the agency business, and want to be free. We
hope that there may be a concert of action
among the people all over this coast in trying
to induce Congrese to modify and entirely
wipe out the present Indian policy, Since
the Grant policy was provided, tho Indians
have cost the government nearly doable the
amount in former years. And yet there are
less numbers of the red men of the forest
now than there were 40 years ago, and again,
most of tho outbreaks and Indian troubles for
the past few years are attributed to the
agencies, and for these and many other rea
s)ns, we say turn them loose, and the Indian
problem will soon settle itself and tho In
dians will be better off. And thes large res
ervations that have been kept so long from
settlement will be brought into cultivation,
and thousands of homeless families will be
provided with the finest locations on the Pa
cific Coast.
Our town is improving very nicely. Quite
a number of large and respectable buildings
have been built within the past season. Land
speculators are coming now and are paying
liberal prices for deeded lands.
Yakima.
Venas Valley, Yakima County, W. T.
A correspondent of the Goldendale Oazetlt
describes this valley as follows :
Looking eastward we see spread out before
us a valley, small but grand, 18 miles lens;
and from 1 to 2 miles wide. W hero we are
sitting it is 600 feet higher than the mouth of
the valley. In front of us is Glothlen's saw
mill, from which all lumber for the valley is
furnished. They rnn a planer and furnish all
kinds of lumber at from $10 to ?30 per thou
sand at the mill. The land here is high and
frosty, but after testing it thoroughly, it is
found to be the very best for wheat, oats,
barley and potatoes. Lumber is dear by
making land more valuable here than it other
wise would be. But leaving here on our way
down the valley we find farms in their first
stages for some seven miles and all
looking as if they were contented and willing
to work, but when we turn a bend in the
valley we see beforo us farms well under im
provement and irrigating ditches running
from tho Wenas creek through them in all
directions.
From here clown to the river, the farms look
to be older, and under a better state of culti
vation. Upon inquiring, we find land on our
right to be worth Irom 15 to $25 and $30 pr
acre. Apple trees commence to put in an ap
pearance, and the farther down we go the
faster wo find different kinds of produce.
atermelons seem to be natural almost, corn,
grows well for this coast, and the Sax and the
regular canary seed growing finely here. In
our trip through here in the summer, we were
shown grain tha$ was as heavy as it would
well stand, and timothy that would go two
and a half tons to the acre. Leaving here the
valley widens out and takes a different fea
ture. On your left as you go down the val
ley, you find what they call the second bench,
covered with sage brush, but of the large kind
and good for all kinds of produce, as soon as
water is gotten on it. We find it all under
ownership and the farmers busy in taking out
a ditch from the Wenas river. The land on
our right still keep improving in quality and
value as wo go down the river, until we
strike tho road leading to Yakiina, v, hen the
bottom land seems to stop abruptly and only
second bench land from here to the mouth of
the river, and that narrows rapidly and ends
one mile below the road. A half mile further
on we rind the Yakima river rolling on her
course toward the Columbia, and bid farewell
to the Wenas valley.
Jhe Great and Glorious Country
With her crop of t6000,000 bales of cotton,
toward GOO, 000,000 bushels of wheat, and over
1,600,000,000 bushels of corn, we may look
upon oar enormous and astonishing imports as
not alerming; the owners of American rail
way property have a right to expect particu-,
larly happy results, and those wh feel dis
couraged at the comparative slowness of our
export markets may possess their souls in
peace. As Europe must take our surplus, we
need not he in a hurry to tend our new cotton
and our food stuffs abroad, and we need not
send anything on which we have not made a
good profit The future is decidedly in our
favor. Our farmers have and will have an
abundance of evorything; our mechanics and
laborers will have cheap food; onr factories
are busy and will si continue; our transporta
tion companiei begin toe best season on record;
our merchants and tradesmen will have better
buyers sud more customers than during the
put twelve months, and onr financial insti
tutions will be busy and prosperous. Botton

Jersey Cow.
The following valuable points of a good
Jersey cow, given by Richard Goodman, Jr.,
in the Country OentUman, will be read with
interest at the present time, when this stock
is so very popular .
"A good Jersey cow will sell to-day for
$200, where a good native will bring $50.
Four hundred dollars, $600 and $1,000 are
frequently paid for a Jersey combining, with
some faccy points or very famous strain of
blood, a good butter yield ; but leaving out
fancy color and noted pedigree, a good regis
tered Jersey cow will bring to-day at least
four times the price of a good native. Why
is it that a cow very much under the average
size of a good breeding animal, and with very
few of the milk and meat points which farm
ers are wont to admire, has come to outrank
the native four or five to one, and to stand
on an equality with any thoroughbred in the
world ? It is because the Jersey is the most
profitable producer of the best butter, that
the following claims are to-day admitted by
those who have fairly and thoroughly investi
gated the merits of this breed :
1. The Jersey is a thoroughbred, and pos
sesses as fully as any the thoroughbred's ca
pacity to respond to feed beyond the amount
required for the daily repairs of the wastes
of the body, and will make this extra return
in butter as surely as the Short-horn will
make it in beef or the Ayrshire in milk.
2. The Jersey, being thoroughbred, can be
depended upon to transmit in breeding, in
most cases, the good qualities of one parent,
very often the best qualities of remote as well
as immediate ancestors.
3. The Jersey produces the best butter.
The butter globules have a larger average size
in Jersey milk than that of any other breed,
and in consequence of this larger globule the
cream rises quicker, and hence is exposed a
much shorter time to the air and injury trum
fermentation, odors and dust, and requires in
deep setting the uso of fewer tins and less ice
and labor. The larger globule has a thinner
envelope, and consequently churns quicker
than the cream of other breeds, and is better
adapted to all varieties of churns. The larger
size of the globule gives a better texture or
grain to Jersey butter than that of any other
breed. The color of Jersey butter is better
the year round, and on all kinds of food, than
that of any other breed, except the Guernsey;
and though the Guernsey equals the Jersey
in this respect, it falls far behind in that
more important element texture or grain.
The butter of these two breeds has not only a
higher color, but a moro sprightly flavor than
that of any other.
4. The Jersey makes more butter in pro
portion to her size and feed ; having a small
body, she has jiut so much less to build up in
youth and to support and repair day by day.
5. The Jerseys 'come in' at 20 to 22
months, thus making a saving over most
other breeds of a year of food, handling and
protection.
6. The Jersey, as a rule, 'goes dry' a
shorter period than any other breed, two
months being, over the average period, and
many pro luce butter and calves without dry
ing off.
7. Tho Jersey gives more butter in her
milk in proportion to the other elements, thus
making in particular, a great saving in the
amount of water to be milked from the bag,
to be carried to the milk-room and to be pro
vided with room. This makes no small tav
ing of time, labor and material in the course
of a year.
8. The Jersey will make a cream cheese of
the highest quality in texture, flavor, solubil
ity and body. And they make beef of per
fectly pood color, grain and flavor. They
will make, of course, but a medium quantity
of beef, but as the bulls, when well handled',
remain gentle to a great age, and will always
be in demand for use upon native as well as
tirade and registered Jersey cows, come into
profit early and are lone lived, it is seldom
that this breed will find its way to the sham
bles. 0. The Jersey has shown herself as well
fitted to thrive in all climates and upen all
kinds of food as any breed, and some fclie sur
passes. Sho has hereditary thoroughbred
tendencies, which entitle her to tin favor . f
scientific breeders ; the quality n-n! .. . lot'
her butter yield are placing her lugheat in the
estimation of butter makers, and the beauty
of her ' points ' and coloring will always make
her unrivaled in English paiku and American
lawns.
Three-quarters of the highest priced butter
used in New York and- New England to-day
. nade from Jersey cows ; it' brings from 40
to 80 cents per pound, and the demand is
greater than the supply."
Best Cattle for the Dairy-Breeding up and
Crossing.
This subject has been agitating the Eastern
people, and we see the experience of several
breeders published in the Country OentUman,
issued at Albany, N. Y. His (subject is of
vital importance to a new country, like Ore
gon and Washington, and we gladly publish
all we can find bearing on the subject. We
published last week an article from J. B.
Knapp, of this city, and have the promise of
more. The article is as follows :
"Tho cioss breeding experiment recom
mended to the Short-Horn breeders of Iowa
by Prof. Knapp (see page 888,) was veiy pro
perly referrtu to the Iowa Agricultural Col
lege, from which it came. The proposal to
make a new breed of dairy cows implies that
none r.t the breeds now in use is satisfactory,
and it is quite right that those who make such
an implication should offer something moro
substantial than an untried hypothesis in sup
port of their views. Let Prof. Knapp and the
Agricultural College make a specimen cow
that shall .be larger than the Jerseys and 'bet
ter adapted to the conditions and views of
Iowa farmers,' and it needs no prophet to tell
that the experiment will be repeated,
But Prof. Knapp ii not the first to propose
to enlarge the Jersey by crossing; the cxperi
pient has been tried in England and the Uni
ted States. So far, however, the rtault are
not promising; the produce has invariably lost
the distinguishing and more valuable qualities
of both parents the batter qualities of the
Jersey and the beef qualities ot the Short
Horns. With the utmost deference to Prof.
Knapp, I venture to suggest that if the Iowa
tanners desire a dairy cow larger than the
Jersey tbey can easily find one ready made
and long established in the Ayrshire, or a still
larger in the Frie ian or Holstein, How far
either of these breeds is 'better adapted to
their conditions and views,' I cannot say, not
knowing wherein their conditions and views
are peculiar; but from the fact that .Short
Horns already aliound and flourish in Iowa, I
should think the dairy families of the Short
Horns would ba more likely to furnish the de
sired animal than any breed that ha leeu
moulded especially for the dairy. By judi
cious selection and proper treatment, it would
be an easy matter to establish a milking strain
among several of the best tribes of Short
Horns, and that, too, without materially sacri
ficing the valuable qualities of the breed. The
largest dairies in England and many (if tho
best in tho United States are filled with puro
and grade Short Horns.
For twelve years I have been closely obsorv
ine the influence of the Shorthorn, Devon and
Jersey crosses on the native cattle ot several
parts of East Tennessee. Whero the pastures
are good and the farmers take extra care of
their cattle, a Shorthorn cross shows itself in
the superior sizo and shape of the beeves; but
the majority of pastures in East Tennessee are
noil equal to those' of Iowa prairies, and the
majority of East Tennessee farmers do not
give extra caro to their cattle. Henco the
Shorthorn cross, while giving inert ased size,
lowers the powers of resistance to bad treat
ment, and works, in many case, a positive in
jury. Tho Devon cross, on the other hand,
can he recognized at sight, not only its colir,
hut by its improved form and increased vigor.
I have vet to see an instance in which the De
von cross did not improve the native cattle of
this section. The Jersey crosses have been
made usually upon nativo cows, valued for
their dairy qualities, and have, in every in
stance within my knowledge, increased the
butter qualities in tho produce without per
ceptibly lowering their vigor.
The Tennessee Agricultural College has
kept good specimens of Shorthorns, Devons
and Jerseys for nearly ten years, and a largo
nnmber of interesting experiments have becu
made in feeding pure bloods and grades of
each for the Knoxville market, with lcsults
very marked in favor of the Devons."
Breaking Prairie with Sheep.
Do you hitch them up ! No, sir, we fence
them up. Five sheep will break an acre in to
years, or 50 sheep will break 100 acres in two
years, besides manuring tho land and keeping
themselves during tho summer; all they need
is a fence to enclose them and water to drink.
They do tho best kind of work, can't be beat.
Our experience in this kind of work is as fol
lows: My flock consists of about 500 sheep. Two
years ago I fenced in about 150 acres of wild
prairie and used it for shoep pasture. Tho
pasture was goid until last summer. I did not
think for one moment but the blue joint grass
was all right (it has immense and numerous
roots which are sent don deep in the soil,)
and, I supposed, was good for ten or fifteen
years' pasturage, but I accidentally discovered
last fall that the close pasturage of tho sheep
had killed it, the roots wore rotted, and on
putting in the plough the mellowest soil a far
mer could desire was turned up. My sheep in
two years had broken over 100 acres. I am
now (March) having it ploughed, and in hiring
some done I found the party would prefer
filoughing in this pasture than"back-settmg"
ast summer's breaking. I estimate the value
to tho 100 acres added by the sheep at $600;
$200 in killing the prairie grass, and $400 per
acre in their manure. I suppose it is of great
er value than this, but it is certainly this. Of
course breaking prairie with sheep is another
and a new source of profit in these most valu
able animals on the farm, and I place it on re
cord to their credit in the Iowa Farmer. I
have just pulled down and removed over two
miles of Bix wire, three smoothed and three
barbed fenccB, and just as soon as the frost is
out I shall fence a new pasture on tho wild or
unbroken prairie for my sheep. On looking it
over I find my fencing cqsts me about $250
per mile. In to years I have got back $300
per mile by pasturing my sheep on the land
fenced. Looking at it in this light it seems to
be quite a profitable thing to pasture sheep
and is a new idea to me. My farm is on the
"slope" in Wcst.ru Iowa. Corrcujiontlvnct

Need of Heavier Horses.
Tho need of heavier and stronger horses for
draft animals and heavy farm horses is moro
generally recommended of lato than ever be
fore. Heretofore American horse-breeders
have aimed principally at speed or style, and
great results have been accomplished in both
directions. But now it begins to bo seen that
the country needs heavier draft horses than it
has ever had, Tho Clydesda e seems to meet
this ,need better than any, other breed of
'horses, being very heavy, strong, hardy and
gentle. At the fat-stock show in Chicago the
Executive Committee of the American Clydes
dale Association made a report in which, alter
congratulating the association on the increas
ing popularity of this breed of horses, the
committee said i
"The number of Clydesdale horses im
ported the last yesr is larger than for any
corresponding period, and includes many of
the best obtainable specimens of the breed In
Scotland. The number of mares imported the
past year is without precedent, and their su
perior quality and excellence In breeding is in
keeping with the increased number. The de
mand for well-bred horses has en oursged the
formation of many new breeding establiah.
ments of late in the Canadas and many of the
States. It will le years, however, before the
homo and foreign supplv of good Clydesdale
stallions and mares for breeding purpose will
even approach the demand. Prices for good
specimens of this Wed and their grades can
but cortinuo to advance even more rapidly
than inthe past, with prosperous times and
tho rapid develop rent of the resources and
commerce of the country, as has been the cac
of 'late years. The large foreign demand for
heavy horses and the remunerative prices
therefor are worthy of much consideration
and with the increasing home demand insures
a future trade for breeders of diaft-horsos
which, for permanency and hands me profits,
is not surpassed by any branch of stock-breeding
or other legitimate' business. The large
demand for recorded sires the past year has
greatly jncrersed tho correspondences of the
association and developed tho fact that there
is still a very largo number of mongrel stil
liors used in all portions of the country,
which the owner, tak.u; advantage of the
deserved popularity of this breed, represent
as Clydesdales, and obtain a profitable
patronage at the hands of tho unsuspecting
public." Inidiuijiolii ImhiMrial Timet.
