snrEp VS.. CArrIE.-Tbere can be nd


SHEEP VS.. CATrLE.-Tbere can be no
question but that sheep are infinitely more
profitable than cattle. As a rule, sheep re-
ouire less care, increase faster, and yield
larger returns than cattle. In illustration
Of the proposition, We have the statement OF
Mr.. Gardner, an eminent writer on agricul'
tural matters, who tells of neighbOr who
came to him and wanted to sell his flock Of
100 sheep. "What for ?" 81 am in debt"
well you borrow the money and keep your
sheep, and if you take good care of them
they will make you rich" The advice was
taken. Now this man has 1000 sheep
Last year be sold 50, 900 worth of wool, and
and got $500 for eulls. He is conscious,
besides, that in SO doing. he has greatly en-
riched his farm. The difference between
sheep and cattle seems to be that beef can
not be made without corn. The business
requires more knowledge and experience,
and is subject to great fluctuations. The
rule is that steer must never be hungry. -
On the other hand, if the corn is cut off
the sheep will live on the stalks, and they
can pick up much that cattle will not look
at. Sheep are safe. In answer to inquiries
as to the relative amount of meat cattle and
sheep produce, it was stated that if sheep
had the corn aud grass which goes into beef
the country would be richer with much more
meat In addition there is the wool and
the increase of Aocks. Almost any part of
fat sheep is good eating, Not so with
beef creature.

LanruishinR.

In the course of recent trip I'd the low
ef country, we noticed that the towns on the
line ofthe Columbia River were in jan
gushing condition. Umatilla exhibited
some signs of life; but the absence OF new
improvements, and from deserted streets, we
were forced to the conclusion that Umatilla
bad seen her best days. 1t is true that friend
Whitney of the Advertiser, is doing his best
to bolster up the waning fortunes of his
town; but we fear it IL all in vain. AT the
Dalles, we found the complaint of "hard
times" universal. Property had fell .afty per
cent, and there appeared to be general
lack of con6deHce. In some parts of the
town the words "To Let" met the
eve at every turn, and the whole town pre-
-ente,i the appearance Of being ih the last
stage of collapse. On inquiry, VIC heard va
rious reasons assigned for the depression; but
all concurred in the opinion that the mischiev-
GUS legislation of the last Legislature had
much to do with driving away business. We
fear there is a cause even more powerful
than bad legislation at the bottom of this
prostration. The Dales is essentially the
the offspring of the miurng trade. In early
days, parties bound for the mines, uniformly
fitted out at the Dalles, and from those, and
the settlers scattered throughout the upper
country, she derived trade from which
many OF her citizens grew rich. The devel-
opmeDt Of the coun try has led to the estab-
lishment Of many interior towns, every one
of which has tapped her trade, and thus con-
tributed to her depression. The time vas
when the settlers, even so far up as Coivile,
packed their supplies up from the Dalles.-
All of these sources Of trade, in the progress
of the country, have been cut off, and with
out gains in other quarters to compensate
for the loss, the Dalles of necessity, has be-.
came a dull town. We, by no means, under
rate the influences or bad legislation. Ihe
crash was bound to come, but Sunday laws
and fanatcism, without doubt, hastened the
catastrophe. Through the present gloom
we discern a future for the Dalles. Let
measures be taken to improve the means of
communication with the mines Immediately
z L
valuable trade The settlement of the Yaki>
ma country will also exercise favorable in
huenco upon the future of the Dalles, and in
a measure restore her former prosperity. The
one great want of the town is the lack of ag.
ricultural resources, but notwithstanding this
drawback, owing to advantages of position,
the Dalles may yet become place of consid.
erable commercial importance.

FEEDING BEEF CATTLE.-We know that
much of the practice in relation to the rear.
ing and feeding of animals in the Atlantic
States is inaPplicable to this country but
still we believe something can be learned
from that quarter. A writer who lately
passed through Illinois thus describes the
mode generally pursued in feeding beef cat.
tie in that State
A little corn is fed before taking to the
pasture, that is, in October, commencing with
one.eighth Of bpshel, and gradually going
up to one halt. Of bushel a day, the corn
Is fed on the stalk and years back always
was thrown on the ground; many do still
In July rode in buggy through series
OF feed lots, some twenty acres in all, where
the corn had come up as thick as wheat, and
was as high as the horse. The cattle are
turned into it in August. But those who
seek the most profit build mangers;r called
bins, which are fixed or movable the latter
are best. These sre four and half feet
wide, two feet high, and have tight bottom
so us to hold shock, jerked or basked corn.
A bin long enough to feed one hundred cat.
tie will cost about $50, and the cost will be
saved in thirty days, for the cattle eat all
the corn. Meanwhile hogs are turned in to
eat the litter. In this way hogs do better
than when they are put into the feed lots
after the cattle are changed, particularly in
freezing weather The rule IS to have l25
hogs with 100 cattle All this is outdoors
The stalks make good beds for both kinds of
animals. To make the business profitable,
1t is important that there should be plenty
of good water, and that feed and drink be
given regularly every day. One of the
most successful stock growers insisted that
regularity in these things is more important
than much feed. He said he was fully con.
yiDced that attending to these duties at one
hour on one day and at another hour on the
next would end in loss. Let those feeding
stock heed the lesson.

OREGON PoLITICs.-A report is current
that an effort will be made to bring on the
election of United States Senator at the called
session of the Oregon Legislature The
movement is said to originate with Governor
Gibbs, who is supposed to aave a clear ma.
jority in the Legislature. The election is to
gil the place Of Nesmith, whose term expires
on the 4th of March, 1867 We doubt
whether there is any truth in the report, and
certainly we cannot Believe that Governor
Gibbs has any hand in the contemplated
outrage In California, on a memorable oc.

ENTERPRIsE.-The Oregon Steam Navi.
cation Company certainly keeps pace with
the times. In addition to their main stem,
which includes the navigation of the COlum-
bia between Portland and Wallula, they have
now in the course of construction three new
steamers which are designed to act as feeders
to their main trunk The first Of these boats
will navigate the Snake River from OldS
Ferry to possibly the mouth of Jordan Greek
This enterprise accomplished, the land travel
from Salt Lake to the Davigable waters Of
the Columbia RIVER will be reduced to less
than three hundred miles When this feat
is accomplished we may confidently expect
the Mormon trade and travel to abandon the
deserts of Southern California and follow the
Columbia River route. At COlville, following
out the same spirit Of enterprise, the Com
pany has already launched steamer which
is intended to penetrate to the sources eff the
Columbia, thus opening to the prospector and
miner a vast region which is known to be
rich in treasure. Again, on Pen d'Orelle
Lake the keels of boat are already laid,
the object being to attract the MontanAtrade.
1t is rare indss4 ttAut a single combination
is able to contribute so much toward the de-
velOPment of a country, apd fortunate has it
been that the navigation of the Columbia
has been controlled by enterprising men.
