WILLAMETTE FARMER; 3AL.EM, OKEGON APRIL 1, 1887. , . i Bolectlng Heifers Ilnisitig liclfors sound well in theory, but breeding cnltlo is u Buparuto art from dairying, nuil miles followed with grcnt judgmont jh u losing businosH, na not every bcifor rawed becomes n first clans milch cow. Tho best dan Is to buy heifers lionvy with their first calvos called "Bpringors," and In this thero is much mora room for judgmont und .skill in making tboso Belcctions limit most men nro willing to admit. Tho uilBtako usually mado is in being misled by a fancy for ccrtnin shnpos, colore and fashioimblo points, to tho neglect of oth ers relating immediately to tho useful ness ol tho matured cow. Tho first point to consider Ib that tho hoifer is strong, with a deep flank, indicating constitu tional vigor; then sco that her teats nro largo and sot wido apart. Vlewod from behind tho twist should bo open and wide, with rudimontary udder woll dis played and toats far apart. As second ary and fancy points, n bIIiii nock and long bond with small horns are good fcaturos. Abovo all things, avoid thoio hoifors that show very small rudimentary teats, or thoso with largo ones set closo to Kothcr. Such u bclfcr nover can mako a first-class cow. Thoro aro enough risks to run boforo securing a good ono, with out starting out with tboso that never can improve Even tho bent of podigrocn cannot mako a good cow out of a hoifer with a deformed uddor. Thoso who huvo studied auction's method, whilo thoy do not rely upon it i thn oxolus ion of other point, flua it n groat aid, and feel that luuy cannot ignoro tho cHCUtcboon. American Agricul turist. rattening Old Covri. Tho farmer who owns a good luiloh cow naturally desires to keep it for milk, if not for breeding, as long as os Bible. It will oven pay to cut feed and mix it with meal for winter after hor tooth aro bo far gone that uho cannot mnsticato harder matorlal. Hut when tho und coincH it is often bettor to soil her for what she will fetch than to fat ton hor. Tho amount of valuable feed required to put flosh on tho frame of an old cow if given to n good milkor would pay much butter. Tho beef from old cowb is not of (ho best quality, though thero is great difTorcnco in this respect. That is best which is fattened rapidly, and if it i'h doHimblo to fatten an old cow she idiould bo fed on all sho will oat. Good cowh aro always voracious feeder, und nro loss likely to Buffer from indigestion than fattening boilers or Hteors. Money In Sheep. Tlioio is more money in sheep, with wool at 15 conts, than thoro is in cattle with a cow and calf at $'Jl). 1 wa not ono of thoso sheep rubers who was crazy 'ottiicrlllcoorgivo away bis Hocks unj go into cattle with a hurrah when tli0 prices woro away up, and I am proud to nay it. 1 reduced my number of sheep to about '1,000 so that I could give thorn bettor attention and improve tho grmlo, and I havo nuver failed to receive a fair price for my wool 15 to 20 centH. Tho cattleman litis to bunt buyers, drivo his cuttle to market, and worry about quar antine. I do not; tho wool buyers hunt mo. Twlco a year my table is covered with letters and circulars asking what I will take for my wool, and "not to soil without consulting him." Wool is cash. I havo a good many flue cattle, but shoop .ro my main hold. Many sheepmen . .tied because they thought their docks tight to take euro of themselves. They uoro afraid of work, and wanted some i lung easy. They mistook their calling. That U it in a uutsholl. Sheep, not too many, pronerly attended, art) profitable. Corner in Corpus Christ! Caller. Full Blood and Thorotuhbred. In popular language tho terms nro synonymous. When used in reforonco to hortos thoro is a well defined differ oneo between them, which it would argue ignorance, to neglect. Somo writorn book to establish a difference also, when thoy nro used in relation to shoop, and in this way : A full is one in wluvo veins there is no admixture or strain of any other blood but tho Spu. isb, whilo a thoroughbred is nil that and something more. A sheep may bo a full blood (puro blood would bo u better term), ami yet bo eo deficient in form or lleeco ns to bo until for n breeder. Hut a thoroughbred is tho outoomo of a long line of ancestors, which, beginning with puro blood, havo been bo consummately moulded by man, to i special purjKWo, that this last and finished produot is, bo to speak, incupablo of begottiugor bear ing a progeny different from itsolf. Whilo those ought to be, and with ac curato men aro, tho definitions of tho two tonne, in popular usago thoy aro not nd nro constantly misapplied. All lionn, all tigors, all animals in a stato of niiluro aro full bloods, puro bloods, average typo of their respectivo races ; but not all of them aro thorough breds; that is, not all of them aro bo oven in all their qualities, and so sound in their constitutions, as to be able to produco progony up to tho lovol of tho raco standard. Thoy aro wooded out by natural soloction ; thoy aro ill formed or weak or laoklng in cunning, and thoy perish in tho strugglo of lifo, loaving tho best individual behind to perpetuate tho raco. Under a stato of domestica tion in which man seeks to proBervo all tho individuals, good and poor, ho must himself conduct this Boclcction of bis breeders. Ainorican Agriculturist. Be Careful In Belectlng a Stallion. It will bo a groat whilo now boforo a great many marcs will bo brod nil over tho country. 'It will bo woll for all who havo such n matter to Attend to, to remombor that it is a thing of groat im portance to mako a good Holcotion of a stallion. A mistako in this matter can not bo romlcd. On this Bubject an oxchnngo very pertinently says: At tho tinio whon thoro wcro compar atively fow stallions acccsaiblo to tho farmers in western stales thoy wcro compollod to patronizo thoso within roach, whothor auitablo for their marcs or not. Now thoy havo becomo bo num erous, and represent bo many vnriotles adapted for different uses, that a farmer can oxorolso moro judgmont in making selections, and brocd with a special ob ject in viow. Whothor ho wishes to grow borsos for heavy draft, for carriago purposes, or for ubo on tho road, in al most all parts of tho country ho will find stallions from which to ohooso ono that, whon mated with good marcs, should produco colUi that, if proporly cared for, will roturn n good profit for tho cxponso and trouble of raising thorn. In aolecting a stallion, sound ness 1h an all-important consideration, lost tho colt inherit defects that will in capacitato him for steady bard work in any line, and soriously impair his valuo. Hoar in mind that no matter how ior fect tho horso may bo in almost all points, if bo has ono sorious defect, this may bo inhoritod by his progony, nud hIiouUI bo regarded a sufficient reason for not patronizing him. Foor Economy. Keep salt boforo tho cows all tho timo. If a dairy cow sudors for want of salt, hor milk yield will shrink. Wo know this to bo ho. If tho milk shrinks over so littlo, it is frequently two or moro days boforo Its yield can bo brought up again to what it was before. Wo know this is so too. Therefore tho safest plan is to havo salt whoro tho cows can havo nccoss to it ovory day. Wo know a dairyman onco whoso cows shrank largely in milk yiold. Ho know well enough that it was caused by their natural craving for salt, but ho was a oloso man and would not buy tho salt until ho saw it was an absolute necessity to havo bis cows from going dry. Salt is ho cheap tool .Too mean to live with civilized pcoplol Don't be stingy with your salt when it comes to dairy cattlo, for you nro suro to lose ten times moro than you gain, and you ought to. We havo n perfect contempt foi a man who oxpects n cow to give n largo mess of rich milk upon Hoanty feed, without any salt too, to mako her food moro p:latablo, and to moot tho necessary requirements of hor appotitc and bodily system.

Farmers should take ndvantago of tho cheapness of sheep, compared with beof cattlo, and buy n small flock of sheep in good condition to grow into mutton for tho uso of their families through tho wintor. Mutton will keep as long fresh as any othor kind of meat, and porhaps longer. A few shocp can bo kopt along to kill as thoy may bo wanted, and thoy will bo growing bet tor all tho timo. An oxccllont plan is to kill and corn or salt thorn down in a woak brino. A vory fat shoop is best this way, and cornod mutton will bo found to digest well, and hotter than when fresh. Tho meat may bo packed in a clean barrel, or in stono crocks, and tho brino poured ovor it. Fivo pounds of salt to 100 of moat will bo about right in cold weather. Tho salt should bo diasolvcd in clear wator and thon poured over tho mass until it is all cov crcd. If any portion should romain outsldo of tho brino it will putrify and taint tho wholo contents. Tho blood should bo drained out of tho nocks and any bloody portion by soaking it in wator boforo tho moat is packed. Soak ing six hours is sufficient. Tho. hams may bo smoked and cut up liko dried bsof, or thoy may bo boiled. Both ways aro oxcollont. Tho cornod mutton will mako n good chango from saueago or sparo ribs. A good deal of tho peculiar mutton tasto is lakon out of it when mutton is corned. Country Homo. Stout Excellent. J. J.
