GOOD WOKDSlF0B Oil EC ON WOOL.
The Wool and Cotton Reporter writing
of the sale of the last of the sample bags
of wool seut in to compete for prizes,
says: ,
"We have now received the sample
bag of Oregon wool from Geo. Pope A
Co., of Portland, Or., wuioh we very
much regret had not been forwarded in
time to enter for competition for our
prizes to wool growers. ; It would have
unquestionably taken the first prize. It
was beautiful wool and the finest e
have ever seen from Oregon. It was in
splendid oondition, absolutely free from
earth and vegetable matter, was well
bred and of good staple. If it had been
packed in Australian bales, it would
have feadily passed for an average lot
of Australian wool. The manufacturer
who shonld secure it at 30 cents wouVt
aet a good trade."
Referring to tbe above, the San Freu
oisoo Live Stock aud Butchers' Gazette
nays that tbe simple bag of Oregon wool
has since been sold at 30 cents a pound.
SHEEP AND WOOL NOTES.
The sheep man with a nioe bunch of
(at muttons is certain to realize good
pripes.
The state of California has piiiil $5,602
for co.vote scalps during the" past three
months. The bounty is $5 per bead.
An exehauge says: Tarring the noses
of sheep to prevent hot flies from .egg
laying is humane precaution. To do
this there is no better way than to give
SHlt' iu narrow boxes which have their
edgrB tarred. Thus, with no labor on
your part the work is dene.
When old sheep are kept, disappoint
ment is sure to occur. Any animal that
is past its prime of ifn costs more to
keep than a youog one. No sheep older
than four years should be kept. After
that age the vital fotoes begin to fail,
and it is a true, though trite, old adage,
that "one Bickly sheep infeots the flock."
The iSm kept with a flock of sheep
should be olftroged as often as once in
two years. A lamb, if well" grown, may
be used for a small flock, and then is in
his prime for another and, larger flock.
It is better, however, to use older males
when they cap be obtained. There is
no excuse for using a grade, as pure
bred males can be bought for but a
Bmall advanoe in cost over their mutton
value.
CATTLE ITEMS.
To let the cattle fodder themselves at
the hay stack saves a little labor, but
the waste will make tbe owner poor.
In $5.25 to 6 '25 for cattle on foot,
there's pleuty of money in the business.
This faot should demonstrate to stock
raisers the practical purt of breeding up
aud improving their herds.
A party of oattle feeders of Mexico,
Mo,, took n train load of cattle to Chi
cago, recently, consisting of dehorned
Sborlhornfl, th"ees and fours, and good
Herefords, and received from Sc. 65 to
$6.25 a hundred for them - 50 cents
above the market with 23,000 bead on
band.
There are two kinds of onw thieves,
sii) a a California exchange. One kind
steals the cuttle, and the other kind
takes oare of them after they are stolen.
And, come to think of it, there is still
another kind. He don't Bteal or dispose
of cattle, but he knows it is done and
who is doing it, and is afraid to say any
thing. 'He is not exactly a cow thief,
hut is a coward, which is shout as bail.
Exceedingly fat cattle, are going out of
faHbioo, says an exchange, and we are
glad of it. They are neither profitable
to the grower nor the consumer. The
public is now after good, substantia',
early niiitnred, lean meat4 and this is
just what 0: n be produced to the beet
profit. Do not try to nnke that steer
hog-fat for a Christmas betf. That sort
of thing belongs to the ptet generation

A dry bed is essemial to. good -he.ilth

In a majority of cases it is easier to
produce a scrub, than to get rid of him.
Keep a mixture of salt, ashes and oop
peras where the bogs oan help them
selves. '
Under the present conditions, 200 lbs.
is the best average weight to market
hogs. .
By feeding hogs iu one pinoc, a con
siderable quantity of mauue can he se
cured. Iu the majority of cases there is less
risk with February or April pigs than
with March.
Wheat middlings made into a slop
with skim milk, is a good feed for grow
ing pigs.
..' Sell the hogs when fully ready ; it
rarely pays to feed beyond this, especi
ally at this season.
Corn used in keeping .overfattened
bogs, will make twice as much meal if
fed-to other animals,
v t '
la pearly all cases it will be better to
sell the pigs now than to allow thein to
run down later on.
Good aborts with bran and u little corn,
make a good milking ra-n tor so,ws
that are suckling pigs. V
Growing pigs aud the brooil sows
should be allowed to run ont every day
that the weather will permit.
Sows that are keptf; too fut during
gestation, will in a small majority of
cases bring a litter of weak, sickly pigs.
A thrifty pig will produoemore live
weight iu proportion tothe aiiaouiit of
food eaten than any other animals'
There are few farms but where more
or less hogs can be kept with profit, as
they consume much that would other
wise be wasted.

RAPID TRANSIT IN GREAT CITIES.
The letters of General Sherman now
being published in the Cosmopolitan are
unique; in fact, so far as tbe writer
knows, they are the only letters ever
written in the midst of hostilities by a
great general to his daughter. We have
the brief letters of Napoleon to Jose
phine, but there is nothing ut all re
sembling the Sherman , letters to be
found in the literature of war. They not
ouly throw a new light upon the'eharuc
ter of the great man himself, but Urun
tbe operations then in prooess of being
carried out. Tbe second and last paper,
which appears in the Deoember Cosmo-'J
politan, is unique in another respeot,
that it is illustrated by a mau who sac
at Sherman's mess table during the
oampaigns of which he writes to bis
daughter. Tuis most famous of war
artists, Theodore R. Duvis is still alive,
aud supplements the Sherman letters by
a very interesting paper of his own aud
a great number ut sketches which he
made at the time. Perhaps the article
in the December miinbiT whiuh will be
read witti the widest interest ia that on
"Rapid Transit," by Captain Lewis M.
Huupl, which is illustrated by avery
conceivable suggestion that has been
made npon rapid transit. Mrs. Burton
Harrison begins a new novel, "The
Daughter of the South," ai d another
soulhi-rn article is by a geutlemnn who
was a Confederate officer, aud is en
titled ". ooial Life1 in' Richmond During
the War." T. V. Powderly contributes

"On Earth Peaoe, 'Good-Will Toward

Frank Leslie's Weekly is becoming

of Prinoeton and Yale in practice. When
one considers that forty thousand peo

HORN ON THE TUAIN.
i
From the East Oregonian.
A woman who was a passenger on the
noon train Thanksgiving dav from the
East, received a blessing to be thankful
for iu the shape of a little son. The
small stranger arrived after the train
left Cayusp, and although brought into
the world under such circumstances,
seems to take kindly to its new. surround
ings. Tbe mother nnd her husband were
emigrating to this country from Mo. aud
perhaps concluded to add another be
sides themselves to the population of
Oregon ou their arrival Conductor Dial
had the train, and the youngster was
named Dial iu Iiib honor, perhaps in part
amends" for the fact that he was unable
to collect fare from the new passenger.

A Perfect Baking Powder.
The constantly growing demand for Dr. Price's
Cream Baking Powder, the standard cream tartar powder
for forty years, is due to two causes. ,
FIRST: The extreme care exercised by the manu
facturers to make it perfectly pure, uniform in quality, and
(.' highest raising power.
SECOND: The recent investigations exposing the
fnct that certain other brands of baking powder contain
ammonia and still others that were found to contain alum.
.Those unscrupulous manufacturers are being found out,
r.nd the consumers are giving them at wide birth.
Nothing is left to chance in the manufacture of Dr.
Pi-ice's Cream Baking Powder. Chemists" are employed to
tst every ingredient as to purity and strength. Hence;
its marvelous purity and uniformity. Each can is like
every other. It never dissapoints. BEST is ALWAYS
the CHEAPEST.
Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is re
ported by n authorities as free from Ammonia;
Alum, or anyot'ier adulterant. Ia facto'Mie ' .
purity of this ideal powder has never .been ques
tioned, ""vv' ':'
Nor A PARTY -ISSUE.
The more ono reads and .thinks regard
ing the a!vef question, the more he be
comes oonvinoed that it will, hardly be
oome a party issue or one on whioh
either of the great partiea can unite. It
is merely a matter of locality. Both
parties of tbe West are aririona for free
ooiuage; and really think it pieferable
even to the silver law as passd by hast
oongre'es, while in the Eaut there is a .
strong sentiment against free coinage,
and in some iocjfjtiea tp both.
- To sum it u.p$Ti party oan deolare in
favor of ao'uilute free coinage, or the op
posite, and expect the plank tot suit the
entire oouutry, so far as that particular
party is conoerued. It stands tbe same
with one as the other, and aa "winning"
is in ihe minds of all, and stands para
mount to everythiug else, the silver
question will be passed over '"like a
white obeck." The principal bon? of
contention will be the tariff, the same as
last preshjtntial oanvass... With Cleve
land on one side aud Blaine-ou the
other, as it bids fair to be, it will be a
hard fought battle, particularly with the
tariff and reciprocity questions in th
van,
OOINQ WEST.
Aooording to late ndvioes, the national
democratic convention will take place in
a western pity. Chicago is in the race,
but it is not likely that any city east of
that place will enter in good faith, for
even that city has little chance of being
sueoeesful. Sun Friincisoo, Omaha and
Minneapolis are in the contest, but as
the lust named baa already Beeured the
republican nationnl convention, it stands
little show of being'suooBssful, It would
then seem that Omahaand Sun Francisco
would prove olosa, contestants, with a '
decided ftdvantoge in favor of 'Frisco.
In order to be Buocessful iu next cam
paign, the Semoorats feel that it is re
oessary to look afteii a few of the new
sttites just admitted, which explains
why there is a strong sentimeut in Jfavor
of a western town as the place to hold
the next, democratic national convention.
Every inch of ground in the United
Stutes will be fought over in next oam
puign, and the successful party will earu
all honors-, . .
Our little prod nt the Hoppne Ga
zettes man aroused his jeulonsjfc envy

Had it not been for a neighboring tx
chuiige, we would not huve hud the
pleasure of .reprinting some more balder
