APPLICABLE TO ODB SECTION.
And With a View of Benefitting the Stockman
Farmer, Hortlcnltnriat, Dairyman, Etc.
WORTH KNOWING.
Grain looks well this sprinp;, which ia
due to seasonable raina and a fine winter.
The farmers of Grant county are pre
paring to raise more wbeat ihia year
than for season" past.
Stnokmen will protect their interests
n every part of this jrreat oonntry of
free people guns or i.o guns.
The whole of Morrow county is now
abounding in a wealth of good range,
and the stock and sheepmen are Berions
ly "in it." So is the rancher.
Intending settlers will find that Mor
row oounty is just the place for them
Improved farms oan be bought at a very
reasonable figure, and government land
oan be had for the taking. The restored
lands from the choicest part of Morrow
county. Come and see for yourself.
Sheep should be kept iu dry yards to
protect their feet, and also guarded
aguinBt storms. Ewes and lambs need
good shelter and liberal rations to
prevent suffering and keep them thrifty.
Spring lambs well oared for and ted liber
ally will soon Bell at a profit.
Work horses need plenty of strength
ening food, regularity in feeding and
watering, and good grooming. Guard
Hgaiust galls by keeping the harness
olean and soft. Many horses wi rk best
when they are bearefoot. Protect teame
from drafts when they are heated. Give
brood mares roomy quarters, watchful
care, and treat them gently aud kindly.
Exohauge.
Pigs and poultry both pay for good
care aud keeping. The pigs need exeroise,
and will do good, by destroying many
nsect enemies, if allowed to take it in
the nrohard. Give breeding sown
bran and other cooling fond, but no
corn or meal. Poultry "shell out" the
profits now, if ever; so care well- for the
birds if you want fresh eggs and chickens
galore. Proteot them from vermin by
using keroseue upon the roofs and
walls of the poultry-house; and do what
ever else that will tend to promote their
comfort, health and consequent produc
tiveness. Oregonian.
FOWL TIPS.
Don't overfeed your stook.
Don't forget to nail up those cracks in
the ben house.
Don't allow your ohkkens to annoy
your neighbors.
Don't get disoouragfd if you fail to
make your hens pay the first year.
Don't forget that fresh water is as es
sential to the health of fowls aa any
stook on the farm.
Don't let your poultry become ild;
keep them tame and you will find them
more easily managed.
Don't forget that application and at
tention are two requisites necessary to
make your poultry pay a dividend.
Don't forget that too many male birds
kept over winter is of no advantage t"
your flock and no source of profit to you.
Don't forget that hoe and kerosene fail
to harmonize. If you notice the former.
apply the latter vigorously over roustB
aud nests.
D,u't forget that cooking the feed ia
an advantage. Given two or three times
a week, or often, if you like greatly pro.
motes health and aids digestion.
Poultry Notes.
Fowls are apt to catch cold on windy
days if exposed, as they are when it is
rainy. Plan to proteot them from both
aa much as possible.
One advantage with the guinea is the
large number of eggs they will lay after
they onoe begin. Being good foragers,
they need but little care.
Taking one breed with another, ten
dozen eggs in a year is very fair aver
age for a hen. Ocoaeioually gome will
go over this, but not generally.
As a general rule hens moved troui
one place to another will oease laying
eggs at least fur a few days until they get
accustomed to their new quarters.
There is no advantage in keeping a
rooster beoause be is pretty or tame.
At Ibis time only those that are needed
for breeding oan be made profitable,
fln fAr aa it can he Hone the temrtprn.
tnre of the brooder sh iiild be kept at
about 90 degrees. Lack of warmth
causes the chicks to crowd together, and
this often proves fatal.
Care of the Cowa.
To make dairying profitable gre it
care must be exeroistd to keep the cows
in good condition. A writer in an ex
change says : Cattle that sleep in cold
barns by night and are allowed to get
chilled by day in the yards, or by drink
ing ice-cold water, cannot give mnoh
milk, nor can they make growth of frame
or flesh, even npnn the best of food. Rut
it will not pay to give tbem the best of
bay or good grain if tbey are neither
growing nor prod uoiug. Therefore they
re usually allowed just enough to exist
upon, and they come out "spring poor,'
and it takes a month or two ot good
pasturing to get them in decent condition
again, and in the six months at pasture
they will not produce any more than
enough to pay the cot of keeping them
through the winter. The result of snob
a method of caring for tbem is that the
more cows or young stook the farmer
has the poorer hegrows. To make dairy
ing profitable at the present price of
milk, and butter the cows must be in
milk, and giving a good quantity at that.
at least ten months in the year, and this
oan only be done by haviug good stables,
giving good fond and taking good care.
MINING NOTES.
The Greenhorn mines are attracting
attention in I ortland and San Francisom
and the next few days will note the ar
rival here ot miners en route to the
miues. Baker City Demoorat.
The Baker City mining exchange has
effected a sale of the Bay House and
Blue Dick miues to a Colorado syndicate,
which will at once nroceed to develop
tbem. The mines are located aboat nine
miles from Huntington, and the prioe
paid was about $.20,000.
Green & Hill, owners of the gypsum
miue near Huutington, have sent sam
ples ot their gypsum to various places
throughout the Uuited States, and it has
been pronounced by all who have tested
its quality to be first-olass in every way.
Thousaud of tons of it are iu sight and
eventually the making of plaster from
the product of this mine will be exten
sively carried on. Pendleton Tribune,
The mining oniutry known as the
Greenhorn and R ibinsonvilie mining
districts are believed by many, who are
thoroughly prospected them, and who
ire perfectly oapiible of judging well ot
snoh things, to be the greatest gold and
silver districts of theNiueteeuth century;
not of rich little pockets, but of great
ind continuous ledges of ore that will
pay well nil the time. In support of this
ita'ement we will give some faotB from
the farthest developed property in this
ounip. Grant Co. News.
There is going to be a great rush of
miners to the Seven Devils this summer.
Thousands of people are preparing to go
there as Boon as the snow goes off. It
is a boom. More people will gather in
the mountains than can find work. The
usual lively and exciting times of mining
booms will be experioced. Many will
aud employment, a few will enter some
kind of business and great multitudes
will drift away, aud in this reaction
Union oouuy will reap her greatest ben
efit. Her mountains, which afford a
grand field for the seekers of the piecious
metals, will be filled with prospeotora,
and many a hidden vein brought to light.
The towns of Cornucopia, Sparta aud
Sanger will be largely populated by these
people. The Republican Is no prophet,
but suggests this idea as the probable,
result of the cry, "On to the Seven
Devils!" Union Republican.

TOO MUCH KINDNESS,
A oanny Scotchman who keepB a little
shop for the sale of his natioual products,
wet and dry, not a thousand miles from
Aim street, New York, tells a good one
in himself."
His place is a sort of headquarters for
the officers of the State and .National
line BteatuBuip when they are iu port,
Bnd they ofteu bring their fellow couutrv
men here for an hour's chat iu the little
basemen t office, with the dnmb waiter
running handily up to the place where
they brew hot water and lemon peel.
One day a ruwspeoimen was one of the
guests. He had just come over, aud he
was delighted to find that Scotch grocer
ies could be got in a foreign place. He
was oot used to American style ot treat
ing, and wtien the proprietor passed a
box of cigars to him thanked hiiu polite
ly and declined.
"Go on," said the proprietor, encourag
ingly, "help yourself." It won't cost yon
a penny."
"VVou't oost me a penny?" said the stran'
ger, wonderingly.
"Not at all, mon. It's the ouatom of
the country."
"Weel weel, who'd a thochtit? This
is ton much kindness."
And the big hand of the stranger dos
ed around hulf the cigars in the box. As
the hunch went into his pocket a laugh
went up from the steamship officers. The
proprietor acknowledged that the drinks
were on him, and the innocent stranger
went away with a very high regard for a
country S t filled with kindness. New

of us in it to proteot this renge from one

are going to do it, now theu if you will
stHy ou your own Bide of the river and
not youse your influence to get other
sheep iu here wee will respect and pro
teot you, but if you still persist wee
will burn every bit ot hay you raise for
the next twenty years and thet huiut all,
wee will damage you iu every conceiv

A VOICE FROM LEXINGTON.
Editor Gazette. "The world do
move." Iu support of this classic quo
tation I beg leave to cite a few facts. For
two years the late lamented Lexiugton
Budget continually raised its voice for
Morrow county as a funning seotion, in
vited immigration, advocated more thor
ough oultivatiou of the soil, aud diluted
on the practical benefits of experiments
in agriculture to mure fully develop the
possibilities of the county. But it was
alone and unaided. The Gazette, then
the only other paper in the couuty, was
silent ou these points. Perhaps it dis
dained to follow the lead ot the little
Budget. I nm inclined to believe this
was one reason for its silence, and that
another was in th i faot that it was oarry
lug nut the previous policy ot Heppner
business men who had been nurtured and
sustained by tlie trade of stuokraisers,
aud were wont to look down upon
''biiiirhgrussers," as farmers were oalled.
lint the number of stores iu Heppner bas
increased beyond the needs of the Btook
men, aud a greut deal of freight for the
John Day country is merely shipped
through Heppner, without leaving a
profit iu the hands of Heppner mer
chants. Per force these latter are now
finding out that the trade of Morrow
county "buncbgrnssers" is a good thing
to have, (but they must have it or sink,
aud that a thickly-settled farming com
munity is preferable to a sparsely
peopled Htock range. Hence, the Ga
zette's ohunge of heart and its calls for
action by the Heppner board of trade to
induce immigration, its praise of Morrow
oounty as a farming country, and its ad
vocacy of more intelligent work on the
term. At luat it tukes up the very strain
played by the Budget. This is not said
iu derisiou of the Gazette, nor iu any
but a kindly spirit (though I cannot
uegleot this opportunity to say "I told
you so"), but is noted as one of the
"signs of the times," as something for
which to be glad, as a step toward the
ultimate development of our oounty. I
rejoioe over the conversion of the Ga
otte and the merchants of Heppner, for
by uuited action ou the part of the board
ot trade, the Record and the Gazette,
substantial results luuy be accomplished
Such a combination, working actively
and systematically, would be invincible,
and ihe immigration that might be at
tracted to this county would bring pos
itive pecuniary, aa well as other beuefits,
not only to every present resident but to
the new-comers. It is to be hoped that
a working force, composed ot these ele
ments and such others as can be eulist
ed, will be organized at once. Now is
I the time. "The world do move."
