The supply of water is of the gicatc-t

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

terisa valuable belptothe pu-ture. Pond
or lniiish water is injurious, as also run
ning water in wlucli luiualic plants aio

of common salt, ulpliur, s.dtpetie, sul
phate of magncia, p osphato of limo,

The attention of tho shepherd will be

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

is out of the question all tho teaching

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. Iiie'e'dois'tiaitte'.

It is not good policy to let work hoise
get thin. It e-osts more to put on llosh
than to keep it on. Flesh that comes

A hog of the proper sort should not

The correspondent says :
It seems this part of Tillamook has nevrr

The Ncstucca has al out ten miles of tide

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

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

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

They intend to purchase a large number of

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

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

do well to give it an early inspectn n. He

a great thai of talk in certain parts of Uma
tilla county during tho past few dajs alout
tho status of so called railroad lands in this
locality, anil reports and rumors were o.ipin
atuil and circulated by persons who wtre un
informed upon the matter, that these lands,
or a portion of them, had reveited to the gov
ernment, and were open to settlement the
tame as eviu sictions. 'I he only fact which
lent any color of reason to these reports wis
that the land ollice at The Dalles was re
ceiving applications for railroad lands in that
district under the government Acts. This, it
setui", they did without any authority, and
ith the proviso entered on the record that
the api ligations cro received subject to the
rights ol tho railroad comrany. This bting
tho ca-e, they should be compelled to return
evtry dollar of mont-y sj p id into their
hands, as if they had no authority or power
to render any equivalent therefor.
