Sprinkle tlio placo most frcquontod by them, with- nir-slaked lime. To pnek eggs for tho winter supply, gather thorn every day, and paok nono that nro not absolutely frceh.

Tho person who waits for Mr. Luck to raiso his chicks, will bo badly left at tho end of tho season. Tho luck that awaits any orlodoponds ontirly on your judgment, oxporienco, tho timo and labor spcnt,as well as tho monoy in vested. Success can bo achiovod by tho industrious, but don't trust to luck, or you will got fooled every timo. Ho is a mighty treacherous old man.

Thoy lay more eggs, which hatch bettor than lion's eggs. 3d. Thoy havo flno and dolicious flesh for tablo uso. 'lth. Thoy attain to thrco and a half or four pounds weight in ten weeks' timo and in tho eastern market whero thoy aro' known and appreciated, thoy command a ready galo at from 20 to -15 cents por pound in tho spring. About Wyandotte. Although becamingquito woll known, tho Wyandottcs aro still such a now breed that a great many farmers and their bettor halves who raiso poultry aro not familiar with thorn. Tho Wyan dottcs may to somo extent bo callod a "gonoral, purposo" chiokon, as thoy havo somo of tho best qualities of somo breeds diftoring from oach othor. Wo glvo a description of them as writton by a breeder in ono of our exchanges, which is no doubt a fair presentation of their claims : Thoy weigh when fully maturod: Cocks, eight and ono-hnlf pounds, and hons six and a half. Thoy aro a beau tiful fowl to look upon, too, aftor all clso is said and dono. Thoy aro black and white Tho contor of tho feather is white, with a hoavy black edgo around it ; logs yellow and frco from feathers ; comb, n flat or roBO comb, similar to tho roso corcb, similar to tho Hamburg, al though not so prominont; fitting closer to tho head, it seldom frosts, ovon in tho coldest woathor, which is a great point to bo considered by those living in tho cold Northom Stale?, whero tho Leg horn or Spanish will freoze to doath if not kept by tho firo, almost. As chicks thoy aro easily reared. Thoy feather quickly, grow rapidly, and with good caro mako early layors ; thoy lay a flno largo egg, ranging from nearly wuito to quito yellow in color, witn a good thick shell. In fact, thoy aro pre eminently tho farmor'a fowl for gonoral purposes. In Baying this, I do not strivo to pull down othor desorvedly popular varieties, but simply stand them upon tholr own footing, whoro yon will And thoy aro ablo to stand. But liko all othor good breeds, thoy can not convert fenco rails into eggs. They must havo somo good food. It is a breed that has been brod pri vately for somo fifteen years, undor dif ferent namos up to tho year eighty three, when thoy wero admitted to tho standard as a thoroughbred fowl, and tho namo Wyandotto applied. Thoy occupy tho middlo ground between tho largo and clumsy Asiatic and tho smaller varieties, such as Leghorns, Spanish, etc., and as such tho fill a very impor tant position among farmers who feel that they cannot koep two distinct kinds such as tho Cochins or Bnunahs for flesh, and tho Spanish for ogga; they answering tho purpose admirably for both. In fact, while they are almost impossible to beat in tho production of eccrs. thev aro tho finest eating fowl wo havo, and 1 believe aro acknowledged to bo by all who havo ever tried them, which makes them in great demand as broilers. Cblntao Flimints. Some fanm-s in Linn county claim to suffer serwlv fr-mi theso birds and others do not mnko so much complaint, but that can bo accounted for by tho fact thathe bird want in certain local ities, as tho Herald says, and would naturally troublo tho farmers in tho vicinity of their haunts. Somothing depends on their eating qualities, or rather thoir valuo as food for man, and wo havo heard ono who tried it say ho "had as soon cat a crow." Tho gonoral opinion scorns to bo that thoy are not a valuable bird for food. Four years ago Mr. John Donny turned looso on hia placo in this county eleven China or Mongolian pheasants, tho only ones in Amorica. Tho birds' wcro imported from China as an experi ment, and tho Legislature passed a stringont law protecting them for a poriod of fivo years. In two years, by another act, tho timo was extended two yoars longer. Tho climnto seems to havo been perfect for thorn, and thoy havo increased vory rapidly, until now, though most plontiful hero, thoy can bo found in all tho adjoining countios. Thoy mostly inhabit tho low, dry Bwalcs, and aro novcr found in tho brush or timber. Oak crcok, a small wet wcathor stream south of Albany, is a favorito placo for thorn, and in a singlo day's hunt as many as a hundred can bo soon. As to whether or not thoy aro moro detrimental to tho farmer than tho grouse, thcro is n diversity of opinion. Somo claim thoy are, and as proof call attention to fields of grain, portions of which havo boon dostroyed; whilo others claim that an equal number of grouso would havo boon equally as destructive. Hunters aro moro interested in know ing whether or not they nro a gamo bird. Should tho epicure ask, ho could not bo answered, as no ono could bo found who had eaten one. Rumor, how over, says tho flesh is vory whito, and tastes similar to chickon. In beauty thoy surpass any Oregon bird. Tho malo is about one-fifty larger than a grouse, and is decked with feathers of overy color, whilo around its neck is a black ring tinged with red, and a tail sixteen inches in length adds to its beauty whilo on tho wing. It crows liko a young rooster, and whon flushed flics straight away with a coarso whirring noise, keeping in a straight line, as docs tho quail. But tho dog, pity tho poor bruto, that catching tho scent, comes to a stand and expects to find his bird, and is often mis, taken. It may bo thoro and may not. On foot thoy aro tho equal of any dog, and socm to tako prido in giving thorn chaso through tho tall grass or wheat, Thoy cannot bo depended on, for when tho dog sots whero tho bird should be, it may bo an hundred miles away, and aunning at tho rato of twonty-four knots an hour. Tho last, and porhaps tho greatest ob jection tho hunter has to thorn, is that whoro thoy livo, no othor bird can livo. That is, in places on tho prairio whero formerly could bo found plonty of grouso and pheasants, thoro are nono now, all having beon driven to tho timber. Many favor tho ropoal of tho protec tion law, and others favor lotting it stand j at any rato, whilo a law it should bo enforced, and, whothor from tho city or tho country, tho person found guilty of killing thorn should bo punished to tho full extent of tho law.
