ThiS country is destitutoof nut bear ing trees and it is n question of import nnco to know if difleront nut trees will thrivo and bear hero. Tho Oregoninn tails of a chosmit tree at Squiro Itisley's pkco, in Clackamas county, that ono year boro five hundrod pounds of nuts ono season. Anouier treu in iin run. land boro throo hundred pounds at ono timo. Quito n number of trees around Portland boro Inst year. So it npponrs that tho chosnut is easily acclimated in Wortern Oregon. If it will thrivo in Eastern Oregon as well many timber cultures could bo planted with tho chest nut and mush to tho vnluo of land, ns tho chesnut is quick growing aud lasting timber and very valuablo for farm use. In California a favorite and rather a new kind of mash for horses is coming into uso, composed of two quarts of oat), ono of bran and half a pint of flaxseed. Tho oats aro first placed in tho stable bucket, over which is placed tho linseed, boiling water added, then tho bran, covering tho mixturo with on old rug nnd allowing it to thus, rest for fivo hours; then tho mass is stirred up well. Tho bran absorbs whilo rotaining tho vapor, and tho linseed binds the oats and bran together. A greater quantity o! llax seed would mako tho preparation too oily and less relishable. Ono feed per day is sufficient. It is easily digest ed and is especially adapted to young animals, adding to their volume rather than to their height, giving substance to tho 'frame.

Curloc Heat Without Brio. Tho following method of dry salt curing is rccommondod for trial, by U1080 who havo heretofore cured their meats by using strong brine. It is n well known fact that incut will absorb bo much snlt thnt it is almost unfit for use. If too much snltpclro is used, tho meat will bo hard ami less easily digest ed. Moroly enough salt nnd saltpotro should thcrcforo, bo used to givo tho cured product thopropor degrco of firm ness, color nnd flavor. Begin tho cutt ing of tho pork us soon as it is thorough ly cooled but not frozen. Trim tho hams and shoulders neatly aud save n goal portion of tho sido pieces for bacon. Tako ench pioco nnd rub it thorough ly with southern enno molasses. That from Porto Itico is bct. Hcnt puro salt in tho proportion of niuo pounds to four ounces of saltpetre in an iron vessel, un til it is almost red hot nnd sift it o 'or ovory pnrt of ench nioco of meat. As soon as it is cool enough, rub iu tho salt mixture, bcinc especially caroful that no spot about tho joints of tho hams or shoulders is untouched. Whoro tho hums aro very Jargo, ninkon small open ing down to tho bono at tho joints nnd fill them with hot snlt. Pluto tho meat, threo or four piccos deep, on tho lloor or shelf, and let thorn remain threo days. Then repeat tho process of salting and lay tho pieces in u cool, diy plnco, whero thoy should reinnin at lenst two weeks, when tho smoking should bo begun. In smoking tho meat, place the smouldering ilro of corn-cobs dry hickory or sugar troo chips, at a sufficient distanco from tho mcnt.bo thnt it will bo slowly dried ns well as smoked. Two fires a day nro Hulliciont, nnd rhouhl bo continued during daylight for n period of ton to twelve days. In order to havo good, ripe, mellow hnms, shoulders nnd bacon, the method aimlagous to tho old tiomo one of hanging tho moat iu an upper room through which tho stove- pipo passes to tho chimnoy, so as to in suro tho propor degrco of dryness and coolness, is it good ono.

Wounds about the templos suggest at tacks of staggers, and when the end of tho nose presents circular scars, it may bo concluded tho horse has boon twitch ed with a cord to insuro his quietness whilo being shod. Many have taken advantage of our liberal offer on page four. Wo intend to givo everyone a fair chance during these hard times but wo will toon withdraw it So that those who intend t take advantage of the offer must do o at once. Glanders In the Human Family. A recont c;iio whero an unfortunato mnn contracted glanders front a horse, very forcibly illustrated tho danger nttonding any attempt to enro for it horse nficctcd with this loathsome form of disease. In its much, moreover, ns it is generally regnrded ns incurable, it is obviously a man's first duty when ho finds ono of his horses affected with glnnders, to put him out of tho way. Whenever ho observes symptoms lend ing him to suspect tho existence of the disease, ho should nt onco isolnto tho nnimnl nnd exorciso tho greatest caution in feeding and caring for him until such timo ns ho can secure tho opinion of a competent veterinarian upon tho case.
