An Oregon Woman Speaks Her

PENDLEToN, Oregon,}
March 9. 1878.

Ed. COURIER IL have been think
ing of trying to write a few words
from Oregon, as never see anything
from here and l think this country
ought to be represented and no one
seems to think of it; and am not ca
pable of saying much; but l want to
thank Clyde for his letter from Free
mont, for always look over the CoU-
RIER for news from there, for have
lived there, was married there. l
think they ought to be proud to say
they have no saloon; wish we could
say so much Of our town, but we can
not, for Pendleton supports three sa-
looms, one brewery and one drug
store. Pendleton has q population Of
500 people; it has three dry-goods
stores, two millinery shops, two cabi-
net shops, two wagon shops, two
blacksmith shops, one hotel and one
good restaurant; it has two churches
|-one NJ. E. and one Episcopal, and it
being the county seat it has court
house and Jail; also a good Touring
mill and two schools, and last but not
least three doctors, but they don't
prevent diphtheria from raging fear
fully, as many as six children having
died IN one family.
We have no snow or cold " weather
this winter, but moro rain than ever
before. Everything looks green,
seeding nearly all done and some gar
dens made. Peaches are in bloom.
Stock looks well we kill all our beef
off of the range; feed nothing but
work horses.
And now l want to ask one ques-
ton: if any one can tell Of place
this side of heaven that is not infest.
ed with tramps, peddlers, or agents
for something. LIZZIE.

Seed Corn.

We are now prepared to assert that
there was loss in Iowa the last year,
by defective seed corn, Of at least
80, 100000 bushels. The loss was in to-
tai failures in some cases-in poor
stand, but more from late corn by re-
planting. The terrible effects Of the
latter can only be estimated by going
through the country and seeing the
vast cribs of corn now rotting. In
many localities cattle feeders are
buying damaged and soft corn at one
dollar per wagon load since Christ
mas. And yet, at this rate, the dam.
aged corn has not been half used for
any purpose, and is now rapidly
sinking 10 the manure pile. And
with this serious lesson fresh in the
minds of all, not more than half of
those who imagine vainly that they
are farmers have the necessary
seed corn for the approaching plant
ing. Many will yet persist in select
ing their seed from the corn when
gathering in the fall. This past fall
corn was universally damp, owing to
the fall rains, and did not dry out
sufficiently SO that it could preserve
its vitality in the zero weather OF
November. If the cob be soft and
wet when such freezes come, no far
mer or man who would like to be
classed with farmers should rely on
it for seed. Many of our friends and
acquaintance have already tested
their seed, and find it useless. Shall
we have another partial failure by
neglecting to procure seed? If seed
has to be brought from a distance, q
warmer climate is not the best loca.
ton to obtain it. Southern corn will
not mature with use. +. Ciarkson

Preventing Hog Cholera.

The diseases to which swine are
subject are many. They are mostly
all termed Cholera. No matter what
the form may be, there is great cry
for cure. Had we not better find
out the cause and remove ii, or find
a preventive? Most diseases can be
traced to worms, and worms are caus-
ed by hogs being kept in poor con-
dition, or being fed exclusively on
corn, or too many bedding together.
When they are not thriving they
soon show it in their hair. 1t looks
dead and coarse, and then you may
look out for some malady. Hogs
must be kept in clean quarters and be
fed variety of food, such as meets
their wants, which can be ascertain
ed by any careful feeder. Let the
man who feeds corn alone think how
long he could remain healthy on just
one article of food. I have examined
pigs that have died with the thumps
and l find their entrails filled with
long white worms, the outside being
covered with small ulcers, and be.
meath every ulcer the worms heads
are imbedded. I.tried the following
as preventive frequently, and can
recommend it: Turpentine mixed in
slop, as much at time as you can gel
your hogs to cot, Give it once every
two or three weeks or if they are af.
fected, give teaspoonful of turpen
tine in a small quantity of lard OF
sweet milk, and it generally effects ,
cure. Give one dose day until cur
ed. l feed my hogs salt, ashes, char
coal, stone coal and soft soap, ant

Ground Flax Seed Oil Cake.

All cattle men Of great experience
can remember when the flax seed oil
cake was unknown to stock feeders
west of the Allegheny Mountains.
There was q demand for it in Eng
land sufficient to pay freight all the
way from here across the ocean. This
is changed now, and the eastern states
are using their own product, and the
value of ground oil cake Is generally
recognized throughout the west.
The fact IL, that experiment and an
alysis have combined to prove that
this long neglected article is really
the richest and best food for
muscle forming and bono producing
in live stock. 1t is known that corn
Is deficient in these elements, and the
use of one pound of ground oil cake
daily per head will lay on the fat in a
surprising manner. The best Eng
lish cattle feeders would be unable to
produce their prime fat cattle al
twenty four and thirty months old
and weighing one thousand four hun.
dred to one thousand eight hundred
pounds, without the use of oil cake

Cheap Short Horns.

1t isVainly supposed by men who
cannot appreciate the value Of i'm
proved stock, that thoroughbred bull
calves will soon be had for 500 q head
when they propose to begin to inn
prove their stock. This is weak de-
fusion. The time will probably new
or come when good bull or heifer
calves can be bought for that sum,
unless it be at some auction sales
where the proprietors by over conf
dence in the persons present have
been betrayed into Offering such
stock. Good grade steer calves are
worth that now, either by the hum
dred or by the thousand, in Iowa or
adjoining states. The writer would
like to have few hundred at that
rate. And thoroughbreds cannot be
furnished as easily at $50 as high
grades can at $40. With the common
COW the grades can be produced
cheaply, but to raise thoroughbreds,
cows at high prices.have to be kept as
well as bulls. And there is materi.
al difference in the cost of calf from
$500 COW and that from a $50 COW.
The truth is there is yet much igno-
rance mixed with mulish prejudice to
be overcome in this world, before it is
exactly right. A prominent breeder,
within the last week, said he would
not sell thoroughbred bulls at auction
or private sale for $40. He would
trim and carry his corn to market in
much more profitable shape than
most of those are doing who are
throwing it away trying to make
beeves out of scrub stock. There is
double the profitin corn when it pro-
duces steers weighing l,40O pounds,
at two years old, than in 1900 pound
steers at four years old. Both of
these are being done, and while the
former sells for six cents, the latter
will command only four cents in mar
ket.
If any who are still breeding such
stock are waiting for the day when
good stock can be had cheaper than
now, they certainly can safely dispel
any such delusi0n. There have been
some fancy stock held at prices be.
yond the reach of the practical beef
raiser, but at present good, compact,
short-horn bulls can be had at prices
as cheaply as they can ever be sue
cessfully bred. Any attempt to Ge-
press them any lower will divert
them into other and probably equal
ly as profitable use. Aud good
bull will amply pay for himself now
in one year, in real and not merely
imaginary profits. Common calves
just at the close of winter are worth
about an average of eight dollars,
while grade calves of the same age
and treatment, are worth twenty.
This makes a difference of twelve
dollars per head between good grades
and good common calves, These
facts can be sustained in any county
In Iowa at this date. And the older
the calves or steers, the wider will be
the difference, greatly to the advan-
tApe of the imnrOved stock
