Cows and Butter.

MR. EDroR: In late number of the
Telegraph Your correspondent Il. asks
for detailed statement, as To the feeding
of COWS and making butter in autumn
and winter. Now ii Il. can get ANYTHING
of value 10 himself from my statement of
IA, mol. ", have been practising for
some sixteen years, shall b, repaid for
my trouble in Offering it.
Twill begin with the care OF COWS
about calying time. For several days be-
fore this period, feed ruta bagas or tnr-
nips, Is have them; il not, q little cake
meal will answer, TO keep the COW in
abou, the same condition she would be-
ON grass. After calying, | give warm
slop for drink for the first three days -
this is made by scalding little wheat
bran; after that let her have cold wa
ter TO drink; don't give her much
strong food for week or two, for fear
the uddcr will swell; in that ease milk
all | can get first, and let the calf suck
afterward. In cold weather | stable the
cows at night and most of the day; let
them out to water at noon, and they have
free access to salt, and are curried every
morning.
As TO feed, | consider there is nothing
better than sweet corn meal and good
hay: but would here say that am a
firm believer in raising roots for cows; II
fed judiciously. cows will milk quite as
well, and the cost will be much less, and
the quality of the butter not be injured
In feeding roots to milch COWS, little
corn meal should be tel with them, and
they should be fed directly after milking,
rs the smell of the roots Is then destroy
cd.
MILKISG. Perhaps more depends on
this than Il. is aware of; the time should
be equally divided; the udder and teats,
If dirty, should bc washed with warm
water and wiped dry. | never allow any
one TO 20 To milk without first washing
the hands. We milk fast, and permi, no
talking while at it; don't allow the lin.
gers to be put into the milk to moisteu
the teats; il is an unclean practice. We
strain Oh ough n fine wire strainer, and
put about five quarts in a pan; thesC
pans are tin, and they are kept bright
and scalded frequently. The temPera
ture ofthc room where the milk Is KEEP
should be from 55 to G5 Fahrenheit;-
there should bc no cooking done whcr'
milk is kept; there should not be lef
more than three milklngs stand at one
time. as the cream gets bitter. Should
the cream not rise fast enough, about a
gill Of sour milk to each pan, when strain,
ed, will help it. The cream should be
stirred every day, and the Oldest should
not be over week.
CnyRxISG. When churned. th,
cream should be of the temperature o
90 degrees

Farming Near Largo Cities.

Noprofession more stcrnly requires the
eSsci>o OF economy than that ofthc farm
cr, and during the last ten years the inn
proycmcnts in the methods of culture
have been so rapid that those who have
no, kept pace with such advance in
economic culture can scarcely compete
with their more energetic neighbon.-
EntcrpriSing farmers residing near large
cities are becoming more like merchants
and are adapting themselves to the gIow-
ing of such crops as pay large profits and
such rs cannot be brought from great dis
tanccs. 1t is quite curious, however, even
at this date, to observe many ofthc farm.
crs near large cities and towns who still
continue on in the old style to grow hay,
oats, corn and potatoes, the latter not
often included, for fear too many will be
raised Tor the demand, while an energetic
gardner in their ncighborhooi will realize
larger profits on two or three acres OF
root crops than docs the farmer OF one
hundred acres with his regular crops, aS
he would call them, being an exact copy
OF his grea, grandfather before the dc-
wand of the city called tor those OF a
different character
First, then, the farmer should inquire
what crops ere wanted at the highest
prices, or rather what crops will give the
greatest amount of produce per acre. II
he can obtain 30 cents per bushcl for
carrots, he cannot afford TO raise hay al
$50 per ton for sale. lfhe can get 'i
cents for potatoes, he cannot afford to
raise oats ut 80 cents per buShel, nor corn
at so cts. Ii bccis eau bc sold ut 80 cts.
per buShcl, or onions at 81 per bushcl, OF
cabbagcs at 81 per hundred, he cannot
afford to raise wheat or rye at the usual
market prices. II he be stock grower
he will have market at home, for many
of the root crops at four times the profit
which could possibly accrue from the
same land devoted TO what are usually
termed the staple crops; and to those
who refuse to alter their style ofcropS, IN
the fear that too many do the same thing,
and the prices thereby be reduced, We
would say that the same fear in relation
TO potatoes has been expressed for th'
last twenty years, and still every yeal
they have proved TO be among the mos'
profitable crops, and not withstandins
that carrots can be grown at the rate o
a thousand bushels per acreby those wh'
pursue the improved methods of culture
, s,ill they have been and continue to b
sold at As great price per bushcl rs oats
: aud when their true value shall be under
stood thousands Of acres will DC deyote'
to other WorkiHg Fdrmer.

By the arrival of the U. s. Mail to day from
all parts of the Sound, we are put in possession
Of the following news.
The Oregon is the only steamer that has ar.
rived below since our last issue. She brought
only $50 passengers.
The citizens Of Whatcom and Sehome feel ra.
ther blue in consequence of the last news from
Engineer DeLacy to the effect that the trail was
not yet through, and he knew not when it would
be. ......... -.....
The steamer Constitution broke her steam con-
nocticn pipe only in going asOre at Victoria. Her
hull is found to be perfectly sound. She is now
at Port Ludlow awaiting the arrival Of a new
pipe, which is daily expected from San Francisco.
It is thought she will bring up the next mail
from below.
The stern wheel steamer Uma.iild brought the
news into Victoria Of the murder Of seven white
men and one woman wounded and taken prison.
er by the Indians below Fort Langley. Some 75
armed men had gone to get the woman and pun
ish the murderers.
Two Of the murderers Of Surveyor Hunt, in
Penns Cove, have been arrested by the Indian
Agent Mr.. Fay.

We arrived here this evening in good condition
We have met at this place some Yakima ant
Klikatat Indians, who are friendly, but represen
that Ouhi and his people, with ten Cayuses from
walla. walla, are on the lookout for white mel
on the wenatchee River. The Wenatchee In
dans are represented as friendly, and opposed t.
the hostile bands.
We will cross the Yakima to-day, and chang
our course more to the nUrIhward. What dill
culGes we will meet with are yet to be told; but
can speak for myself, and will never return
until | am convinced that the Indians arr toe

north Of the Columbia River, so say the friendly
Indians. Our party numbers, rank and file

SO we will have 4 good show for fighting, but
chances for running are against us.
The road from Seattle for Steilacooml to the
open country east Of the Cascades is avery direct
and good mountain trail, but requires some work
in the removal Of fhllen timber. A good wagon
road could be made through the mountains with
little or no difficulty. Uncle Sam should have a
mil tary post at this place. and one above Priests
Rapids, or near tie mouth Of the Spokane River,
and the Indians would pretty soon be cOrralled.
Another post is requisite, and that should be on
the Mo-ho-nee-sha, to keep the CGur de Laine
and lower Neg Perces Indians in check.

In this time Of hurry and hustle on the Sound,
q may be well for quiet observer, who has
looked around little and seen some Of the many
anxious persons who are in search Of gold, either
rude and shapeless as Il comes from mother earth,
or already coined, to give an expression to his
opinions as 70 the easiest method for these per-
sons 70 accomplish their object m
There are several places where men with mod
crate means might have perhaps quadrupled
their capital BY investing in lots few months,
or even few weeks, ago. Victoria, whatcoln
and Scheme have al offered these opportunities,
and advantage has been taken Of them by few.
Spectators from California have come in, and
The prices Of lots have been increased and pushed
forward 50 rapidly as to place them beyond the
reach Of men Of limited means, and perhaps ulti-
matsly to the greatiHiury Of those places. Thus,
the great advantages Of good harbOr. and the
easy access to Fort Langley by a trail sixteen
miles in length, have caused many to turn their
attention 70 this place. A town has been laid
out on the harbOr, and lots are selling of rap
idly for $50. s75.and $lO0 each, according to
location, and houses are rapidly going up.
Every foot Of ground around this beautiful little
landlocksd harbor has been taken up, and we
look forward 70 bright future for the infant
city. iia4 y . asnnsf
Now al this place there Is chance for enter
prising men to GIL their pockets. The capitalist
can invest his money, we believe, to great advan-
tnge while there Is room for Iaboring men Of all
classes a iAir wages Mechanics, especially car
penters, are in great demand. Seven or eight
miles Of the trail 10 Fort Langley needs improve

doing this would bs probably Immediately lot 1,

sides isrry boat WIN be nssdsd either for horse
or steam power and the contract ior building this
might be had. Then aliSsgy stable, stocked
with about thirty paek-horses, would be very
profitable. This could be established in the
neighborhOOd Of the present position Of the
Boundary Commission; and here we might re.
mark that there Is q fine prairie about four miles
from the bay through which the trail passes
which would afford during the whole year excel
lent pasiunge, and from which good hay might

Quite a number Of the miners who have
come from California have expressed de-
termination TO settle In this and other locali-
tics. This country presents advantages and
beauties, they say, which they were not be
fore aware Of; and as to climate, this is un-
hesitatingly pronounced better than that Of
California, as regards both health and CON-
fort A deplorable ignorance has hitherto
existed respecting this country, which we
now hope soon to sec removed, as it unques
ticnably will be by the large nocessions we
are daily having to our population. Out
Of and away from Washington Territory,
few have dreamed Of or bestowed thought
on the existence Of country so richly gift
ed with eli the elements Of wealth and great
ness, and there have been few who cared
to enlighten them. With navigable waters
, unequalIed in the world, mineral resources
unsurpassed in extent and richness, and tim
ber unrivalled in quality and abundance,
who will undertake to deny to Washington
Territory greatness greater than that Of
any State Of the COnfsderacyl There are
many now living here who will surely see
this fulfilled, and we think the time Is not
dl,tsnt. This Is only FASTENED, not rem
dered the more sure, by the recent immense
emigration. which viii spread the news Of
