, DAIRYING! NOTES.
From the Tillamook Herald.
What is the use to bring butter from
California to supply the Oregon demand
when the best butter in the world can be
produoed here? With good shipping
facilities, every pound of butter made in
Tillamook county could be sold at good
prices in the Willamette valley.
With good grades of oa! tie, improved
dairy appliances, and a little more skill
and care in making butter, the dairy
prmluot of this onunty will become fa
mous for its superior qualities. Nature
bas endowed Tillamook county with ad
vantages that wiil eventually Vnake its
butter the choice of the country.
The above applies well to Morrow
county, so far as quantity and quality is
concerned, and there should be market
for every pound.
INCREASING RICHNESS OF SI1I.K.
Dear grain is usallv followed in this
country by dear butter. Henoe it gen
erally pays to feed oows giving milk as
liberally of grain as they will bear, thus
increasing not only its amount, but rich
ness. It the oow is bearing a oalf while
thus fed, this will transmit the milk and
butter tendenoy to the young. It is in
this way, doubtless, that the foundations
of the best dairy herds were originally
established. The reverse of the good
feeding will quiokly produoe a raoe of
scrubs out of the best stock that oan be
procured.
DEHORNING VALUABLE BULLS.
One of the most important reason for
dehorning cattle is to retain the service
of bulls to a greater age than would
otherwise be safe. Valuable animals
have often thus to be turned off to the
butcher, or the worse alternative be taken
and more valuable human lives be sn
sacrificed to allow these useless appen
ages to be retained. Time was, per
haps, when the horns of domestic cattle
were important to them as defenses
gainst dangerous enemies. Now they
only serve as dangers to their keepers.
PRUNING TREES
From the Oragonlan.
In a general way, pruning should be done
to keep the trees of good form. Interlock
ing and dead or deoaying limbs should
generaly be removed, and all wounds
over one inch in diameter should receive
s coat nl paint. In tnking otl limbs use
paints to make the smooth outB uith
ibarp saw or knife. Do not cut off limbs
cluse up to the trunk of a tree, nor yel
far enough away to leave a stub, but out
t off just where the swelling from the
main trunk begius to decrease in size.
Pruning can be most successfully done
while the tree is dormant (from Ootuber
to Marob); but perhaps the poorest time
of all to prune is in the spring, when the
sap is running freely, nt which time
fresh wounds do not heal over readily
Pruning Bhould not be done in summer
as the removal of foliage from trees
checks their growth.

look healthy and have the appearance of
long life. And what is of equal Signifi
canco is that the orops are proving very
profitable. Dried prunes have a read)
sale and bring highly remunerative
prices. What is true of Oregon is eqnal
ly true of Washington, with the odds in
favor of the latter, because of the greater
longevity of all kinds of fruit trees.
Dried fruit is deserving of special men
tion, because it oan be kept for a time
without deterioration and can be shipped
thousands of miles without damage or
loss of any kind. We feel that we can
not urge too strongly the importance ot
prune raising, becanse we think that the
business of prune raising cannot veri
soon be overdone. At least, it is not ai
all probable in the next halt oentury.
and possibly for double that length of
time. There is this to encourage ama
teures, the orop of prunes and plums is
always certain, the trees bear full orops
nearly every year; they begin to bear at
an early age, and there is nothing in the
line of dried fruits that will meet with a
more ready sale than prunes.

GENliRAL MINING NOTES.
THB SEVEN DEVILS.
Everything is very aotive in the Seven
Devil mining region at present. A
mining and real estnte oompany has been
organized, with some of the moat influ
ential men of Weiser and vicinity as
stookholders. Another company will
soon be orgauized with a capital stock of
230,000. Iu a short time a boat will be
riiuning from Huntington to the Little
Bar. The Boise City and Seattle rail
road, backed by the Northern Pnoifio, is
in the field advanoing very rapidly with
a line toward the seotion.
Ochooo Review: E. P. Forrey, a mining
expert from Baker City, arrived here
Thursday and left yesterday morning for
the Ochoco iniu6,im ..iuaixsctiya of. the
of the quartz ledges in that district.
Oohoco Review ; Ohas. Rutherford, of
Ochoco mines, was in town Sunday, the
first time in several months, Mr. Ruth
erford spent the winter in the mining
districts of Montana aud Idaho, and says
he did not see any placers there wbioh
showed a better prospeot thau do the
mines on Ochooo.
The people of Baker City are alive to
the faot that a good wagon road to the
Seven Devils mining district will be of
great benefit, nnd will see that the work
s prosecuted with vigor.
NYE ON FLYING MACHINES.
In the manufacture of flying machines
we are apt to forget thut the pectoral
muaoles of a bird are greater than all the
other combined muscular tissue of the
fowl put togatuer, while in man the pec
toral muscles comprise only one-seventieth
of tbot-s in the body. So man must
rely upon extraneous methods of propul
sion, and artificial 'flying becomes ex
treme difficult.
In the middle of the present centnry
a bill was introduced iu the House ot
Commons by Mr. Roebuck to iuoorpor
ate a compnny for Hie purpose of working
a gigautic flying machine, uUo the stock
Lclilers. "It comprised a horizontal plane made
of wire and hollow wooden bars, arrang
ed on the principle of a trussed girder
aud covered with silk." I persume the
motto of the silver dollar "In God We
Trussed."
This plane was furnished with a pro
peller, driven by a steam engine.
This inclination ot the tail, however,
was intensely downward an inclination
in which the stokbolders shared. The
maohine was designed for carrying
freight, passengers and mail, but so far
most all shippers are sending merchan
dise and mail by other routes. The
whole apparatus weighed 3.0UJ pounds,
and therefore made quite a large dent in
one ot the planets on her trial trip.
The tnil had an aret ot 1,500 square taet,
and when jauntily thrown over the dash
board had a tendency to obstruot the
view.
This maohine was unable to rise from
its jiiusou weeds aud soar away iuto the
empyrean blue like a sandhill oraue, but
had to be scooted along a railroad track
at great speed, down hill, till the proper
velooity was attained aud then by de
pressing the tail it was supposed to rise
like an eagle and hark the shins of
planets yet unborn.
It did not do so. You can get the
stock low, or suburban property will be
taken iu exhauge.
Wlieu the inventor took his flying ma
chine out of the round house he was the
picture of health. When he was next
seen it was eight years later, and a lad
eleven years went up and got him out of
the top ot the tree.
He bad changed a great deal. He
had lost most of his hair. Also bis bead.
But his teeth were found buried in the
trunk of the maker in the roof of the
plate. So he whb indentifled.
In this country flying machines baye
had a downward tendeuoy.

ON FRUIT GROWING.
Fruit growing is one of the possible in
dustrieB that should olaim the attention
of our people, remarks the Ellensburg
Localizer. The apples grown in Oregon
in the fifties gniucd for them, oo aooonnt
of their excellence in large growth and
fine flavor, a high reputation in the Cali
fornia market, the orops at that early
date bringing $12 dollars a bushel. These
high prioes were maintained for some
years in fact, until the trees shipped
from Oregon to California eame into
bearing. Fruit shipped from Oregon
1852 to 1854 was quite a large and prulit
able business. The Oregonians who bad
the foresight to plant orchards, iu these
early dayB reaped a golden harvest. They
found a ready market for all they pro
duce in California. Tbe trees grew well,
and were exceedingly healthy and thrifty.
The trees of tbe present day, whether
from neglect in care and cultivation,
bear very little resemblance to those in
the earlier days of Oregon, The trees
do not have that healthy and thrifty
look they used to have. The moth that
attacks fruit has touud its way into Ore
gon, nnd the fruit apples raised there
of late years bears little or no resemb
lance to that raised forty years ago. The
trees are suffered to remain untrimmed;
and like the people, are covered wilb
moss to snch a degree that they resemble
brnsb thickets, unshorn and nuoared for.
Of late years the attention of Oregon
ians bas been directed to the culture of
prunes and plums; the trees of whiob
aid gave special attention to the saloon
keepers and wicked worldlinga to attend
the services on a certain evening, as
they had a sermon for us. Thinking
that tbe gentlemen were learned nnd
cultured, Bnd might give ns an interest
ing and good talk, we went. Sure
ennngh it was a sermon for us. We bad
hardly located ourselves comfortably
when those holy aud learned men pro
ceeded at once, hammer and tongs, to
abuse ns and the business that we are
engaged in, which the state and city
grants ns license to rnn, and are very
glad to get the revenue. They did not
come to us kindly, and as the Bible
tenches them to, and point out our faults,
if we have any. No, they didn't do that,
hut went at us as if we were conscience
less and devoid of feeling. With all
that, we staid until tbe services were
finished. In our earliest training, our
mother taught us to believe that it not
only disturbed the speaker, but was a
mark of disrespect, and did not show
good raising to leave any kind of a gath
ering before it was over. We were gen
erous at the time, nnd, human like, of
fered excuses for the Bros, by saying
that probably they e'ntertained an idea
tli people in this part of the
"vineyard" were devoid of pride and
I feelings. And had that been true, it
would have made no difference what
tliey said, but we are forced to say now
that we have changed our mind. "Wise
men do, &o., Ac "
We think it waa a clear cane of "Tbe
Spider and the Fly." When we get you
iu our net, we will prey on you, (not pray
for yon) as the Bible teaches.
We think if the Rev. Thompson and Mc
Donald wouldsearoh the Ten Command
ments, and when they find the one that
reads like this, "Do unto others as you
would have others do unto you," and
make a personal application to them
selves, it would leave room for the world
to think "Consistency, thou art a jewel."
Yours truly,
E. J. Keenet,

MORPHINE'S VICTIM.
From the Times Mountaincr.
Last eveniug 7th nut, Marshal Gibbons
hauled to the city jail what he supposed
to he an inebriate, and plaoed him in
one of the cells to sleep off his drunken
ness. Apparently he was in a drunken
stupor, and seemed unconscious to all
surrounding. The marshal paid no
futhi r attention to the matter until this
morning, when, on opening the jail door
be found that the man had died during
the night. His name wns ascertained to
be Charles Patterson, and a former loco
motive engiueer on the Oregon Pacific
Ou his person was found a bottle ot mor
phine, an overdose of which onused bis
dent I). Corner Mitchell wns notified of
of the facts, and removed the remains to
bis undertaking rooms, where an inquest
was held by the following jury impanell
ed : John Ouborn, Sam Puirman,F. E,
Ben7er, R. Buidette, J. Dnberty and
Leslie Butler. At the time ot going to
press the testimony bas not all completed
but tbe verdict will probably be substan
tia as follows, whiob is the verbatim
testimony of Dr. Doane: "I have ex
amined the body of this mun nnd find no
marks of violence that would produoe
death. From the oirnumstances and
testimony thus fnr given I am of the
opinion that deceased (0. R. Patterson)
came to his death from an overdose of
morphine." The testimony showed that
John J. Campbell hail purchased a bottls
or morphine at the request of Patterson
and he bnd taken about twelve grains of
it. One-fourth of a grain is a medium
dose fur a uormal adult.
STARTLING I
Supposed Case of Leprosy at the State Peal,
tentlary.
Superintendent Downing, ot the state
penitentiary, is more than uneasy over
! the symptoms developed by a prisoner
who is a patient in the penitentiary hos
pital. He ftars the ailment is the dread
ed leprosy. The uufortunate victim is a
man named W. M. Morris, who bas for
several mouths been developing symp
toms of some horrible disease, which is
now making quick inroads upon him.
At first his ailment was thought to be
nothing more serious thau a venereal
disease, but it is now thought to he lep
rosy. The body is rotting, and already
bas boles largo enough to bide a per
son's baud. Morris was born in Rich
mond, Vs., and came to the prison three
and a half years ago from The Dalles.
Dr. Downing will likely prohibit visitors
at the prison for some time. Morris will
be removed to a barn, near the prison,
and there treated until cured or dead.
Tbe deoayiug body emits a borribl
smell, which no disinfectant can over
come. The prison officers are at a loss
to know what oourse to pursue. They
will try and get an order to remove him
to some hospital tor treatment.
