Whit Polled Cattle.
Among the evidences of the great in
terest recently being taken in the rais
ing and improving of cattle is that of in
troducing now breeds,' or races of eup
iwscd Hiipcrior points of excellence.
Within a very few years tho absenco of
horns on cattle has grown into a question
of no little consideration. This country
has had mulcy; or hornless cattle almost
cvor since tho introduction of cattle into
Iho Colonies. No effort, how6vcr, lias
ever bomi made to improve and raiso
them ns a distinctive breed; although not
infrequently nn animal .of very superior
beef or butter qualities of thoold"mnloys"
has put in nn appearance. It has been
Nffliow.iat different, however, in K up
land, and especially ho in Scotland.
Thoro they havo at least two very distinct
breeds of Tolls tho lied Norfolk and
tho black Aberdeen or Angu, and theso
almost an exact counterpart in tho Gal
loways, also black. And now comes the
white Polls, until leccntly almost un
known outside of their native heath. An
inquiry having recently been mnilo
through tho London (Kng.) Agricultural
Gazetto for infoimatiou as to white Pol
led cattle in Scotland, lias brought forth
tho following from a correspondent of
that Journal, which will, no doubt, be
interest!!!!,' to most cattle lirceilor.", and
norhajis new to nearly nil of thom. The
iirticlo roads :
"Although the farmors in thonoith
pastern counties in Scotland havo for a
long timo paid great attention to the
breeding of cattle, I believe thoro nrofow
districts whoro leu attention is givon to
pedigreo or tho hMoiy of cattlo. If an
animal ploases tho eye, little further in
quiry seems to bo thought necessary.
Tho native cattle in all tho lowland
counties noith of tho I'oith appear to
havo been black ; and tho evidence that
they were oi iginally honied is at least
rqliully as stiong as that in favor of any
Polled tribes (whatever tho color) known
but this is now n diflicult point to deler
mino; but in no instanco havo I eor
hoard of any white Polled cattlo being
Itiiown'until after thointroduciion of Tccs
watcr, llolderness or Short Horn cattlo
Into tho country.
"It is quiteccrtain that originally tho
most numerous and most valuable breed
of cnttlo in Abordeenshiro were black,
with whito horns, and theso wero fre
quently Hat, not round. At least as early
as 17Jo they wero in some casos crossed
w.itli tho Falkland breed (a local Fifeshire
sort which hail boon tho result of a eioss
betwixt tho native I'ifesluro cow and home
EnglUh bulls, sent there by James 1.,
after ho wont to Lngland) ; but of what
Inood these bulls wero is not known.
"It is now more tnan iw years since
Hhort Horn bulls wero introduced into
Abcidenshiro ; and at the same timo cows
iiresumably of tho same breed, although
mown then bythonamo of llolderness
or Teoswatcr wero kept by some of tho
moio enterprising farmors, I beliovo '(!,'
will find that any whito Tolled cattle now
to bo found in the north of Scotland
and they compaiatively common arc

appears to bo pretty general." Jowa

Bhou'd Oow IUtb Any Rett?
Muny brceilorri, eager to secuie the
tailiest possible letnrns from their
r-took, brood their cattle, slunm, swiuo
mid other animals long befoie' they
havo got their growth. Many heifers
drop their Hint calves before they have
themselves reached the age of two years,
and several instance in which heifers
ery little more than a year old have
given birth to calves have been recently
reiwrted in thesd columns. From tho
time of tho birth of her first calf many
n valuable cow is required to support
throe lives during a large part of her ex
istence. She must woik to supply her
own Uidily needs, those of tho calf she
ih-.iih, and to some degrees tho wants of
the calf by her side, If she is a butter
moducing cow, like the Jerseys, for ex
umiile, fhe may not be called uiion to
HU'kloH calf, but she will U required to
gio a large quantity of milk, rich in
butter. If such a tremendous task is to
ho iniKed uimh it cow from tho time
hhe diops her first calf until she shall
have ceased brcoding. will it not ik well
to prepare her for her life work by por
tnittiiis hw to reach ninturity, or to at'
huHtmuke a growth of two years or
rven mom betoro setting her at work?
The charge is mmlo that tho Jeixy
caulo are little rats, which arc of no use
as beeves; that tboy havo littio or no
constitutional vigor i OmtdtUu from
milk fever are becoming alarmingly fre
quent among them, and that tho race is
not gaining in site and vigor, as all
other breeds gain, under the Influences
of American climate- and treatment.
This may lw true of eomo Jcrseys.it cer
tainly is not tmo of all, for the brcod
has improved greatly in butter making
capacity under Amorican management,
and tbero arc reasons for believing that
undor rtrotrcr method? it will gain in
vigor and hardiness; but prematurely
breeding and constantly taxing to tho
utmost the powers of the cows cannot be
the best way for reaching the bst and
most lasting" development of which tho
breed is capablo.
The extremely fine bone, tho almost
entire absence of fat, tho smallneB and
Foeming weakness of the calves of Jer
soys, arp cited as proof that bleeders
mako a serious error in taxing their
cows so severely as they do. And, in
deed, it appears more reasonable to be
lieve that this is true than that those
faults result from in-brecdiiig ; for, if
like produces like, then by tho selection
of animals havo exceptionable size and
Vigor, even though they be closely re
latod, there is apparently no reason for
supposing their vigor and size would
not appear in their offspring intensified
and increased, as tho butter power of the
Jorsoys has boon developed to a wonder
fill extont by a judicious use of that two
edged sword, in-breeding.
Wbnld it not lie well to prevent the
cnunliuir of cattlo until the male and
tho feiualo shall havo leached the ago of
two venrs. and to trivo brcediuir cows a
rest of at east three months after calv-
iii beforo renuirinc them to bej;in sup
nortinif another life? Not a few cows of
tho bettor class are almost continuous
milkers ; some never go dry, and so
never get a rest. Uy keeping mem
from the bull for three months after
calving tho strain upon them would be
considerably lessened and the vigor of
tho calves increased. Chicago 'Jnhuiip.
Tho Shropshire Sheep.
The Shropshire hjiecp descended from
a breed which has boon known to exist
for about two centimes in tho county of
Shropshire and part of tho adjoining
ono of Stafford, hut no attempt at its im
provement seems to havo been made un
til within tho last half century, sinco
when it hns received greater attention
fiom the more extensivo farmers on tho
cultivated districts of tho county. The
present de eloped perfection and uni
formity of character is tho result of im
provement by soloction from tho best of
its own species, and not from the intro
duction of any other brocd. Some
breeders havo tried an infusion of the
Southdown blood, but tho result was a
total failure, the produce being animals
of a nondescript character, and which
had to bo entirely removed from tho
Hocks practised upon. For several years
tho breed was called or known by tho
namo of "Grey-faced sheep," and it was
not until tlio year J8W that it was dis
tinguished by tho title of "Shropshire."
Tho Shropshire has exterminated all
other breeds of sheep in the counties of
Salop and Staffoid, and many other
parts of the adjoining districts, and lias
been adopted by tenant farmers general
ly in the niHilaml Goundou ol hngiand.
Several Hooks have also been established
in Ireland, where it thiives remarkably
well as a bleed, and is also used for doss
ing purposes. It has also been most
successfully indoduccd into Scotland,
where some fine Hocks aro now being
hied by the IJitrl of Stiatlunore, Mr.
Orawfoul, Lord Tolworth, and other en
terpriiing agricultutists, andfroiu its
higldy prolitahlo and rent-paying quali
ties, it is ceitain to lival, if not entiiely
Niiperhodo, most other hieeds. where the
pioduction of liibt-cla-s mutton and wool
at an e.uly ago is a dccidci.uum. It is
a lecoguicd fact, that the hrop-hiio is
hardy of constitution, and prolific; tho
fall of Iambs areiaging dxrnt lilOper
cent. The owes aie goil i ui-ses, and a
well kept Hock will imuivje a clip of
wool, of tho best qualitj ad qiteil to gen
eral purposes, of about eight pounds per
Heeco, and wethora at foiuteen months
old will produco a carcass of mutton
weighing SO pounds and upwards, free
of otl'al. It is also acknowledged that
tho Shropshiie is n light consumer, with
great powers of assimilation, arrives at
early maturity, renders a heavy amount
of flesh in. proportion to rough offal,
and that it" mutton cannot bo excelled
in value by that of any other sheep.
The gieatest determination and spirit is
exorcised by tho leading flock-masters to
maintain the high character of their
sheep, having hired rams for a season at
sums varying from -10 to 2,"0 gs., and
purchased thom. in some instances for as
much as 500 gs. Kwes from noted Hocks
hau also boon purclmsbd at sums reach
ing to Jill guineas each, uiul when it is
remembered that these high prices are
given by inou who hiecd for profit, and
not for fancy only, and whoso selectioui
are backed by sound judgment, it is an
indisputable criterion that no means are
being spared to make the Shropshire
the most prolitahlo, popular and perfect
of all bieods of sheep. Farmers Ad

KEEPING POULTRY.
Exactly at the station on tho east side
of tho StaYk street ferry, Portland, is a
man engaged in small trading who came
from Douglas county. About the holi
days we saw that he had a large lot of
turkeys and learned from him tliat ho
bought in all 400 of thom from n man
who keeps a large number of pigs and
fowls in the gap just boyond Oakland.
The turkeys averaged 10 pounds weight
at 18 months old and avwaged to bring
15 cents a pound. Tho turkeys ran on
the place and picked up the grain other
stock left on tho ground, so they did not
cost as much for keeping as if they had
been fod by themselves alone. Here we
have 1,000 this man received from this
flock of turkeys. Our East Portland
friend paid him 18 cents for. some of
thom and they averaged $2.50 each to
tho man who raided them and the retailer
got $3.50 to 1.00 from tho consumer.
It is an interestincr question as to
how much profit thfre is in keeping
fowls. We do not know of anyone who
makes a business of it but we know that
no department of tho farm is ns pro
ductive and profitable ns the poultry
yard when well attended to. It f-eems
that no one has gone into it systematical
ly on a largo scale. It is probable that
poultry can be much easier kept in
small lots than in largo numbers, though
ono woujd suppose, again, that with
enough of a business to require constant
uttnntion it could bo carried on with
more certainty than on a small scale.
Thoro is littio expense in keeping a small
band of fowls that forage around ond
save what other stock loso and what the
kitchen would waste. Too many fowls
cannot be kept togother but wc havo
seen plans of a great French poultry
farm where the houses wero in the
centro and tho yards widone'd out in
circular form. la this way the business
was compactly kept though the fowls
had abundant room.
If some ono with practical experience
would givo us a sketch of their methods
with fowls, both to raise the flock for
market and havo eggs to sell, it would
start an interesting topic. Eastern Statos
have moro diseases among fowls and cold
weather. Hero the worst evil seems to
be tho mites that destroy the little
chicks, a inonci says tno use ot com
water will kill thom if dashed about
tho roosting places and also destroy their
eggs. This remedy is eo simple many
will not bo satisfied with it, but ono who
had tried everything difficult and ex
pensive and fiaally used cold wator with
completo buccess. It is ccitainly worth
knowing.
Wo remember that tho East Poi tland
man, Mr. Misner, told us how tho Ump
qua farmer managed his pigs nud poul
tiy.' Ho sowed ryo and allowed his tur
keys to nest and hatch their bioods in
among tho growing grain. After the
bioods were off, tho grain was in shape
to feed them and thoy helped themselves
and when faiily ripe ho turned his pigs
in and tho pigs and turkeys lived-on the
rye as long as it lasted, by which timo
both wero in good order. The turkeys
would eat what tho pigs trampled in the
ground so all the ryo was savod. Theso
turkeys wero so tamo that when they
heard tho horn blow they would como
trooping up to tho house to bo fed and
it was a pleasant sight to boo tho pigs
and tho beautiful bronze turkeys march
ing up together. Tho bronze turkey is
larger than the common kind, small
boned and takes on flosh easily, being a
grass feeder. To put a bronze gobbler
with a Hock of common hens will great
ly improve tho chicks. Turkeys do not
answer for eery farm as they go protty
niuch where they please and sometimes
do damage at homo or annoy neighbors
but there are many farmers whoTaro well
fixed for turkey raising who can make
it very profitable.
Tho ahovo is the result of a chat with
a ioultry dealer at East- Portland while
wo wero waiting ono evening (or a delay
ed train. Our readers do not know the
many ways and means wo havo for get
ting information for them and howcaro
fully we improve every opixirtunity of
the kind. Now as they know the great
quantity of poultry a city needs for its
supply. This Sir. Misner has many
coops under the trestle work whore his
house is by tho railroad and lets his
poultry sometimes run ou the fiat Ho
is only ono of many in the business.
Mr. Houston, who has his card in tho
Farmer sends down hundreds from hero
Salem every week, and, a glance at
our market reports will chow that at
jobbing rates chickens full groa n bring
$5 a dozen on an average the year round.
This is a fair price and should encourage
our farmers to increase their attention to
poultry raising to keep up with tho de
mands ot our cities. It is a strange
Uilng to read ia our masket reports that
' eastern eggs aro sold here but such is
the case. In tho west eggs are sold by
the barrel at 5 cents to 10 cents a dozen
: ' and somebody must think there is profit
i in it. In 1849 wo used to clerk en a
j steamer running on the lakes and
bought eggs' by the barrel up tho lakos
ai o cents a uozen io sen incm again in
Buffalo for 6 and 7 cents a dozen.
Management of Poultry.
"We prefer to sec the faculty of good
management in our better halves and in
ourselves put to a more practieal test
and better use in the poultry yard.
To our view nothing looks worse than
a lot of antiquated and decrepid cocks
and hens dozing about one's premises.
Old stock of any kind is useless, unprofit
able, untoothsome. and no knowing how-
soon they will leave us forover, for old
aso and infirmities are usually linked
together. There is no sense or use about
keeping old fowls, their days of usefulness
havo gone by and their places should be
filled by young and healthy birds that
will be prontablo, pleasureablo and orna
mental at the same time.
o suggest at this time to weed out
every fowl that is over two, or at most,
tin co years old. Do not spare any over
two, except thoy arc extra layers, or pos
sess somo transcendant or well defined
quality that you wish to perpetuate in
the offspring. Young hens are superior
to old ones, their flesh is moro tender
and lincy and ahvo or dressed for mar
ket they will always command a higher
price. Alter a hen has past her third
year her laying capacity becomes dimin-
lsneu. as a general rmo sno is not as
acti e as a younger fowl. Her appetite
may be good and her general appearance
healthy, still she cannot bear tho heat
of summer or tho excessive cold of win
ter liko younger birds. Old hens moult
later every year, thus diminishing the
chances of gotting eggs in cold weather,
and increasing tho chances of becoming
victims to disease, for it is observable
everywhere that cholera and other con
tagious diseases first select tho old and
infimi birds of the flock. Tho Poultrv
Monthly.
Exg Eating Hens.
One of tho bad habits to which hens
aro addicted in winter, is of eating their
own eggs. There arc several causes that
lead to this. One canto is that ot oggs
freezing and cracking tho shells. When
hens aro confined to the coops by bad
weather, they aro apt to ransack every
nook and corner and if there is a broken
ceg thoy will hie sure to find it. A frozen
egg is to them, at such a time, a tempt
ing bait, .besides, eggs may bo broken
by being scratched and knocked about.
Once let tho shell be cracked and soon
the hen will fall to eating what is inside.
All of this trouble, feather eating in
cluded, arises from an abnormal'condi-
tion of 'their appotitos brought on by
being deprived of tho variety of food.
necessary to their nature, and which they
roadily obtain during tho seasons of
vegetable and insects. Every person
having chickens should have nest eggs
of a material that will not freeze in win
tor, nor addle in summer. Those near
cities can obtain ehirili eg'gs at very small
cost, and those who choose to go to a
littio tioublc and not much either
can, by making a small hole in ono end,
empty out tho contents, and then filling
with a mixture of plaster of pans nnd
witcr, which will soon haideu and mako
a fairly good nest egg. Hons must bo
kept busy by giving them plenty of
green food. Exchange.
How to Preserve Eggs.
The biniplo plan of storing eggs in
dry nshdshas been used for sometime by
a correspondent of tho Live Stock Jour
nal with very satisfactory results.
Though rather fastidious about their
quality, he reports having enjoyed thoso
thus kept during a period of more than
four months, and in ono instanco a whole
year. Tho only precautions seem to be
(betides, of course, sound eggs to begin
with) to see that the ashes are quite dry
and.to see that the eggs do not touch
ono another.
ITEMS ON POULTRY.
Those who wish to raise poultry prin
cinally for the flesh, should breed tho
Light Brahmas, Plymouth Rocks, Dark
1) rah in as, or somo of tho Cochin breeds.
Don't breed too many fowls upon ono
place, and never attempt to keep a dozen
varieties wilhin tho space that should be
properly devoted to only ono kind.
A srood lavimr hen will lay from 130
to 200 eggs annually, say fifteen dozenr
which, at an averago oi twenty cents per
dozen, will net $3. This will pay a good
profit over cost of keeping in moderate
numbers. AVhero eggs average 20 cents
jwr dozen, wheat Jand corn aro propor
tionately cheaper.
Eggs packed in well dried ashes, and
so as to not touch each other, havo been
kept perfectly sweet for twelve mouths.
Fowls will eagerly eat a great many
bones if cracked fine enough so they can
swallow them. They will cat bones of
any age, but give preference to fresh
ones with adhering meat, Bones with
marrow in them aro also a delight to
them.
Among tho thousand-and-ono reme
dies recommended as cures for Bo-calta!
chicken cholera, the following is one
given by a correspondent of one of onr
exchanges, who saps be does not believe
the disease will ever appear epidemically
if the following remedy is used: Take
one gallon of water, two ounces of sul
phuric acid and one pound of copperas,
dissolve and mix thoroughly. Of, this
mixture put a tabrrspoonful to every
gallon of water given to fowls to drink.
It is not said how long this drink is to
be continued.

CODLIN MOTH.
While we look on with indifference
and see the Godlin moth spreading over
Oregon our neighbors in California aro
using all the means in their power to
get rid of these and other insect pests,
but mest particularly they object to the
Codlin moth. A meeting was recently
held at Hayward's, Alameda county, to
hear remarks from F. A. Chapih, chief
inspector of orchards, under the laws of
that State. We quote as follows :
Dr. Chanin dwelt largely on the dan
ger of permitting the codlin moth to
secure a foothold in our orchards.
Although tho first year they do but littio
damage, the next season they injure the
crop fully 75 to 90 per cent. He believed
that bands placed around the trees were
a most successful means of entrapping
them, tho bands to be changed at least
onco a week. A question was asked
as to the Iongth of time it takes for them
to hatch out. Mr. Chanin stated that
from personal observation ho had found
that around Sacramento they appealed
in about ten days ; at San .Toso, nineteen
davs, and Suiun valley fourteen days.
In fighting the red scale he found con
centrated lye tho best, the proportions
boinfr a nound of lve to a callon of water.
The question was asked if tho liquid
would injure young cherry trees. Mr.
Chapin replied that ho had never known
a tree to be in hired by it. Ho urged the
f ruit growers to keep agitating this ques
tion until a public opinion was created
that would cause every one owning an
orchard to see to it that he is not breed
ing thousands of dangerous insects to
destroy tho-futuio income and livelihood
of his neighbor.
We have the codlin moth here in Salem
in town gardens and orchards. We found
it in the country, over the fence from
our own Bartlctt pear orchard, and tho
neighbor says they will havo to go tho
way they came. We are certain to have,
in a short time, a full assortment of in
sect pests and in a few years wo will bo
wondering how it came that we have
permittod them to take possession of tho
country. The only cure will be to do as
California does appoint oflicers and
compel all orchard'sts to keep their
orchards clear of vermin.
Method or Raising Potatoes.
I often sec in your paper that thero
is a great variety of opinions in regard
to raising potatoes, sizo of seed and cul
tivation. Some advocate large, while
others piefer small potatoes for seed
thinking that they aro as good or better
than large ones. They may raiso good
crops from small seed for one or two
years, but if they do not obtain their seed
from thoic that do take pains to select
large seed, I think they will soon find
thoir potatoes run out and become small.
Why do we select a nice, well-shaped ear
of c"rn for seed, not always tho largest
but the lcst developed. Also, why
3rcon wncai, oats, etc., to secure tne
plumpest and b.st seed to plant or 60W?
(At lcat wo should if we do not.) Wc
thereby raise a bettor quality of grain,
and moro of it, from year to year. I do
not wish any ono to infer that wo should
take the largest potatoes for seed, but
those of a good marketable size, of nice
shape, free fr"m warts, scabs or other
deformity.
Having my seed selected, I cut them
to single eyes, or at most two, and plant
them in drills 3 foot apart and 15 inches
apart in the drills, having the drills,
deen, in woll plowed and thoroughly
pulverized soil. I prefer a piece that
had corn on the previous year, well ma
nured and plowed in for that crop, and
kept under good cultivation during the
season. On potatoes I use somo good
commercial fertilizer that has plenty of
potash in it, and use it liberally, 400
or 500 pounds per acre. This will help
keen tne wire-worms away, and will in
crease the potatoes in size and quality,
J am quite certain. I harrow, as soon as
i I see the first plants breaking the ground,
witn a smoothing narrow, to kill all the
weeds that may iiave started. I culti
vate ofton, whether there ore any weeds
or not, until they are in blossom. I
have never failed to raiso a good crop
of nice smooth potatoes, and there was
always a ready market for them. I
often get considerable more than mar
ket prico for them, which is quite an ad
vantage in a season of plenty liko this.
My crop averaged about 500 bushels per
acre this season. Country Gentleman.
