DRAFT HOUSES.
Oregon is acquiring reputation
for the breeding of good horses
and deserves all the credit accorded
her stockmen. The following from
a foreign journal is of interest to
those who are interested in the
horse:
The differentb between the Eng
lish and Scotch systems of judg
ing draft horses has often excited
curiosity. The Englishman begins
with the body, and sometimes
would seem to slick there, taking
only casual glances at the lower
extremities of the limbs. The
Scotchman, on the other hand, be
gins with the feet, and just as sel
dom lets his eye rise to the body
as the Englishman allows his to
descend to tho hoots. Tho Scotch
man ai'ffu33, thaUvUliout, sound
well set hniDs, flat,' clean, flinty
bone, sloping pasteni3 and large,
sound fset a draft horse can be of
little use for hard work, however
big and handsome his body may
be. The Englishman will not
venture to dispute the truth of
those contentions, but he finds that
the big horse, as a rule, bring the
biggest prices, aud so with him
61Z9 and body have come to be
considerations of first importance.
It is hardly necessary to say it is
undesirable to pursue either of
thsso extremes. Good legs and
feet are undoubtedly essential in
draft horses, but we fear Scotch
men are, in many cases, carrying
their notions too far, confining at
tention too exclusively to legs and
feet, and neglecting sjze and sub
stance of body. Size will always
be an important element in deter
mining the valuo of a draft horse.
Other things being equal, the
bigger horso will always bring
more money than the smaller, and
if only the greater weight is prop
erly disposed over the frame of
the animal it is no doubt worth
more money. On tho other hand,
a huge body, however handsome it
may be, is of little value in front
of a load if the limbs or feet are
weak and unsound.
PREPARING WOOL FOR MARKET
A correspondent of the Prairie
Farmer wanted to know how to
get wool in shape for market. The
commission firm to whom the
question was referred, replied as
follows:' Some years ago boxes
were used in sections of Michigau,
Wisconsin, Ohio and New York(
but after a season r two they
were discarded because the fleeos
were sure to com from the boxes
in a vary compressed condition,
which is just the thing to bo
avoided by the grower when get
ting the wool ready for sale. The
proper way is to spread tho fleece
rehorn side down on a clean floor
or table, remove the dung locks,
turn each side toward the center,
having a width of wool 12 to l(i
inches; then roll from each ead,
tying three strings around, and
two across the bundle of wool. Do
not draw the strings too closely;
rather, leave the fleece largo and
fluffy. Manufacturers are attract
ed to a pile of wool in any grade
put up in this manner. Always
tie fleeces with tho regular wool
string made of hemp or juto. This
can be purchased at six or eight
cents per pound and sold at 15 to
25 cents, or the price the clip of
wool commands. SJsel, or harvest
twina injureg the wool, as tho
fibers are very troublesome to
manufacturers. Fleeces tied with
regular wool string will sell for
one to three cents more per pound
than whan sisel string is used.
grades being the same. Never al
low floor sweepings or dung locks
to bo put inside the fleeces, for
buyers are looking for this worth
less stuff, and value a lot of wool
when this trash is not to be found.
Shear tho sheep as soon as the
weather permits.
WHAT WE WANT.
A rumor cornea to us that an
effort is to be made to induce the
representatives of Grant and Mor
row counties and tho joini Sena
tor, from the same counties, to in
troduce a bill at the next meeting
of the State Legislature, asking
for an appropriation from the
State to aid in tho construction of
a wagon road from Heppner to
Long Creek.
Such an appropriation would be
evidently correct, not only correct,
but we think it is a duty which
the State owes in justice to this
section of the country.
With the exception of aid to u
Union county road, we know of no
other case of the State granting
an appropriation to assist in the
building of roads in Eastern Ore
gon; while on the other hand,
there is almost annually, money
granted in aid of internal improve
ment for Western Oregon. It is
only simple justice that some a'
tention ought to be paid to the
claims of this section of country.
What we want is developement
of the country. The country is
fast settling up and we must have
ingress and egress. If it be in
the early settlement and develop
ment of a country that the burden
of internal improvement falls too
heavily on a few it is the duty of
a State to stop in aud aid in the
construction of such public work.
This is one of the primary objects
for which States are created, and
whatever aids to develop the early
settlement of a country inures to
the ultimate benefit of the whole
State, from which it ultimately
reaps benefits an hundred fold.
We hops our representative and
joint senator will give such a
measure their warm support and
indorsement. Long Cieek Eagle.
THEIR FORCE OF HABIT.
Shortly after tho now jury law
was out into effect in Ireland, Min-
n'atav Plial-K. l T .,.1 !:

judge who had been holding the
assizes in an Irish town whose

A LAD'S HAPPY THOUGHT.
He Put It Into Action and Lauded a Big
Blnck RaKB.
A 10-year old son of J. II. Wood,
four miles northwest of Montpe
lier, Ind., caught' a four-pound
black baes m a novel mauner. lie
saw the bass in a pool in the rap
ids of the Salamonic, and conceiv
ed the idea that if be went into
the water and knelt down the bass
would come up to him to get into
the shade thus made in the water.
Ho went in, kept quiet, and the
big fish, after darting in and out a
few times, came up close to the
boy and nestled there. Quietly
the boy's hand slipped to the gills
of the fish, one quick grab and boy
and bass were in a big tusslo, but
the boy held on and carried his
Lisa in inumim t9 his mother.
Considering the age of the boy,
tho plan adoptod and the size of the
bass, it is one of tho most unique
fish incidents of the season. In
