The supply of water is of the gicatc-t iniK)rtancc. A liing spring, or a clear Mowing stream with a dry grawlly bank is (he boi-t soiine of supply. Wells ate better than ponds or pools. .Stagnant water is etiLinely objectionable. Hard water is' better than oft, and water con taining much saline or other mineral inat terisa valuable belptothe pu-ture. Pond or lniiish water is injurious, as also run ning water in wlucli luiualic plants aio found. A deficiency in tho necess.uy inineial matteis may beolniated by giv ing the sheep stated supplies of a mixttue of common salt, ulpliur, s.dtpetie, sul phate of magncia, p osphato of limo, lionodust, witha small poitiou of sulphate of iion. A tcaspoonful of this mixture given once u week toeach sbeeii, will help gie.itly o u healthy condition and i"-it the tendency to disease, caused by inferior pastuie or soft water.

Mr. It.uoy sue oeedeel, however, in taming and training him to harness, and drove him through tho streets of London. Animals of tins vice should be tieatod kindly in the stable, and not abused with pitchfork handles, whips, etc. An apple, crust of bread, a piece of beet, etc., and a kind pat, but lit in, watchful hand and eye, with the u-e of the above wooden bit, will cuie the most inveterate biter.

Tliobrevdiug of theceinuuon seiub horses is costing thu fanners immense sums Sejme may think that spesjial bleeding te obtain fast walkers is not necessary, and that any sort of a horse can be trained to it. Such doubters have only carefully tocompare the anatomy of a fast walking horse alongside of that of a slow one to be convinced of tho necessity of bleeding for this purpose, for the diHerenco between the two in various nice points will be found considerable in lione, muscle, ten don and coid, and in general structuie. Place a heavy farm or cart horse alongside of a fast trotter or lacer, and see how very diHcicut they are in make-up, and how impossible it would Iw to inciease the pace of the former, either in a trot oi ,i inn, to that of the two latter. Tho thing is out of the question all tho teaching and training could not do it.

Central Tillamook The Care or Breeding Hogs Itieeding hogs should never be unduly forced. They should have plenty of exei eise, and to insuio this they should have l.inge. The1 should never bo ringesl or closely penned, but on tho other hand should bo induced to seek the'ir food, ex cept in winter, latgely in the fields. This may be easily accomplished by putting them on stubble and other fields that are to be plowed, by raising at tiehokes and other roots that they m.iv gather them si'lves, and especially by inducing them to oat clover and either plants to as kuge a degicu as possible during tho spimg, sumtnei and autumn.

The country has n mi Is, although there is quite a demand lor lumber, which has to be shipped from Vaquina by stcimtr. I think a mill would pav. The timber is mostly dead from tires, but there is some fine yellow fir which is green near the river enouih to run a large mill lor years end good water power near at baud, immediately at the head of tide water. We also have some as fine alder as can be found anywhere and ome spruce, but not much of the latter. We have a small bay with nine feet of water at low tide. The steamer Kate and Anna cal's on us now and then with supplies, which she never fails to sell for cash. Atvin Phelps has shmped a cargo ol goods by the steamer, which is hourly expected, which makes us quite happy as far as that go PC The Tillamook Packing Company have pur chased a track of land near the mouth of the river for fiihing purposes, so you see we are on the improve. Cousidcrale numbers of cat tle are raised here. Some nt our farmers are putting out hops, and think that they can tin as well as they cau in Washington Ter ritory. The toll roail from here to Grande Itoncle, Polk county, has changed hand'. The new company have money to push the road to com- pletion, which, when done, will be the best wat'on road from the Willamette valley to tin coast, there being no mountains and only one or two hills of little consequence to cross. This will give a good chance for pleasure sueKers in summer, wun oou nunung anil fishing all the way,and a splendid beach with shell fish plenty, to say nothing of the finnv tribe, for whi.'li this country is noted. Some men of means front Colorado having atttleil with us, we hope to look up a little. They intend to purchase a large number of goats, w hich will thrive here, no doubt. We have a new school h.iuse ready for school, which will commence in a few days. There mv about ninety scholars in tliH dis trie', and several ministers of the gospel. So jonseoweare in a good way to become a high moral settlement. The country is settling up fast, still there is some good vac.nt land vet, trom which good and industrious men can make good nomes. Railroad Land. The End Oregonian says : There has been mnm nnrhans for ten or twelve farms of 1(10 acres each. Soms of the land is very rich black sod, and the mo-t of it has some scat tiring bull pine trcts, of small growth, on it. There is o le Isrge rpring .t the lower end of tho cove, that ne ner the foot of the moon lain and runs northerly tn the Co'ocken. On both id-s of ties bttli branch n some fir-t quality meadow land. Th n are several springs scattered over thee rolling hills, and the whole is cloe proximity 'o an abundance f the finett kind o' timber f ir rails and lain b' r; such as tamerack, fir and pine 1 h Coloken has an abundance of water thn ugbout the year to tu n a grist and saw mill. Any desired head can be upturned, as a mill site is to be ha 1. on several miles of the creek, in every 300 yatds. It is a veri- rap d stream, the w.tar of which is icy cold and filled wit'i trout. D iwn the crek from tho cove the bottoms are o 'vered with rye grass and the creek is skirted on either s'de with cottonxood, alder and birch, except the la t mile or so from the U lunihia where the creek tuns through a mrrow, rocky cinyon. This co-e is hemmed in by high mou tiins on all sides, and the wagon road fr m Kittitas t- the mouth of the Wena'chie run through it Tho roid is a good one and has been well worked. The land there is unsurveyed and could only b he'd by squatters' right. It would be a lonely pl.ee for one family to Fettle, as thn nearest white settlement is 18 or 20 miles dis tant, at the mouth of tho Wenatchie. But ten or twelve families could settle there, have the r own mills and schools. There is a -tore at thn mouth of the Wenatchie, where any thing needed can be had and there is a post office now at that point It would not take long to build up an independent settlcim nt in tn s c ive. Uu tlrawbacK to ic would be that the high mountain ringes between it and the Kittitas valley, when covered by the deep snow nf winter, wi I sev, r communication for several montis of the year. Bunch grass is abundant in this locality and keep green longerthan any hill land wi h which the writer is acquainted. The sur rounding mountains on the north, south and ea-t are treeless, but are covered with bunch grass, there is no unset fed puce in tho cojntry ihit can compare with it for dairying purpoie-. f lenty ol nutritious grass and hue cool water, with plenty of shade for cows in summer renders it one of the most fitting p'aces iu the county for cheeeso or butter making that can be had. Any penon wishing to handle 50 or 100 cos in an out of the way place where he would not be bothered, would do well to give it an early inspectn n.
