this region has good future. The great

railroads The North Pacific is already
pushing operations with vigor, and Gem
eral Sprague assures me thay will build
POS miles eastward from the junction of
Snake river and the Columbia this season.
Also, the Willard Company is making every
preparation to build more roads than we
can name in moment. All looks well for
the upper Columbia region, for the con-
struction of at least 400 miles of railroad
will scatter lots of money about there and
require the entire surplus labor that can be
furnished. The last "boom comes in the
form of a narrow gauge company that
has already purchased for Sl20,000
the road built on the west side
Of the Willamette valley, commonly known
as the Dayton and Sheridan road, or liter
ally, l think, called the Willamette
Valley Railroad. This corporation has
Eastern or foreign backing, and has in con-
temptation the construction of q road
along the west side of the river, from Port
land to Dayton, and branch that shall
defect, near Dayton, to cross the William
cite, pass over the rich French prairies and
Waldo hills, and skirt the foothills of the
Cascades all the way to Springfield, to
the head of the Willamette valley, and
ultimately cross the Cascades to make
connection with the Central Pacific. Such
is the programme, and as it is accompanied
by shipment of 1000 tons of iron to
reach here in May, it at least looks very
much like business. As the Oregon and
California Railroad Company also intends
to extend its west side rails from Corvallis
to Junction, it will be seen that the Pacific

a strong attempt was lately made to pass
ordinances that would restrain the APP
pearance of vice, at least, and give the COM
munity more protection against vicious in
fiuences, but it has ended in failure. The
Oregonian is engaged in constant war
against the higher branches of education
taught in the public schools. 1t approves
of the three R's-reading, 'riting and
'rithmetic-and don't want the world to
become too accomplished at public expense.
This has had fresh stirring In the news
papers the past week, and while there are
many who think instruction is carried
further than is necessary, the majority of
the taxpayers here will always favor the
continuance of the high school, and most
people think that the Oregonidn wastes its
logic, part of which is well enough, but
defeats itself by the dictatorial spirit in
which it is uttered. 1t simply aggravates
people to insist ON continuance of the higher
branches.

Handling Colts.

1t is now the season for putting colts
at their first work, and as many farmers
are supposed to have sold surplus
horses since last seasons active work,
depending upon putting young stock to
work, it is of the highest importance
that this work be very carefully COM
menced, and the muscular and joint
powers very gradually brought out,
otherwise the colt will become discour-
aged and learn to dislike the approach
OF the driver and harness. 1t is well to
put the harness upon the colt few DAYS
before calling upon him to do any work,
letting him stand in the stable with the
harness on, the chains, if there be such
to the harness, hanging loose, that h
may become accustomed to the rattle
about his heels. Take him out with his
harness on, driving him around the lot
or along the road, either single or with
the beast he is to work with. When he
is taken to the field, it is we'll, in place
of taking whip with you, to take lit
tie oats in sack and pail. When he
gets worried or discouraged with the
draught you put upon him, speak gent
ly, give him little oats in the pail, let
ting him stand for few moments, and
you will be surprised at his renewed
courage and willingness to pull. Say
but little, make your motions in a very
quiet and matter-of-fact way. as though
you took it for granted he considered
himself full-grown horse, and yet do
not yourself forget that he is young and
green and as soft as half-ripe squash.
II you expect the work of six year old
horse out of him, then you are an ass,
and if you attempt to whip work out Of
him, then your next door neighbor
should have you arrested for lunacy.-

Small Industries ON the Farm.

The comparative profit of large and
small farms is q question that will not
stay settled. In a few cases the subdi-
vision of labor and economy of system
tell favorably on returns; generally,
however, the want of capital, incapacity
for systematic effort, or little wastes
and leakages make ambitious undertake
ings comparatively improbable. One
advantage in the small farm system is
the necessary appropriation of every
source of income, the utilization of
every capacity for production, and the
employment of the labor of every men,
Der of the rural family. The French
afford good illustration of this idea.
No fragment of time, no product of
growth, no ray of sunshine or drop of
rain is permitted to be lost. The care
of the silkworm and the keeping of
poultry are among these minor indus
tries that afford employment to the ex-
tremes of youth and age. The compar-
alive profit of small and large flocks of
chickens only illustrates in an exagger-
,ated fashion the difficulty in getting a
profit out of big farms. One in q thou
sand will conduct poultry operations
probably on large scale BY observing
with extreme care the conditions that
made small flock profitable. If the
birds are allowed free range without
providing, pure air and water, and the
needed variety Of food, vegetable and
animal, which small flock obtains in
its voluntary circuit of the farm. thew
will be healthy and profitable. But It
y extremely difficult to fulfill all these
conditions. IN. r Tribune.

Shingles.

A correspondent of the Country Gen.
Neman thus discourses in that journal
on the subject of treating shingles to
guard against decay:
In 1861 l built a new barn and put on
a roof of the best shaved pine shingles
could get. They were made on my
own pine land in Pennsylvania, and
made by experienced workmen. They
were not dipped or painted. The cupola
on the ridge is niue feet square, and a
streak the width of it down to the caves
has no moss on it, the shingles look
new on both sides of the roof, while all
the rest of the roof is more or less
covered with moss. I called the atten-
ton of a reasonable carpenter to it this
year and asked him what made the
difference. He said it could be nothing
else than the paint that washed from
the cupola. A man in the neighboring
town keeps his roofs all painted, and /
have been past his buildings every few
days for thirty years and have never
known of his putting on new roof. l
have had much dealing with him and
know him to be a strict economist. He
paints all his buildings Except his
house) with yellow ocher once in about
ten years.
I think the next best thing after
painting is to whitewash with common
lime as soon as the roof is on. Put it
on thick and strong. Look at the roofs
of the old-fashioned houses OF New
England, with the old stone chimneys,
with roof below them as sound as the
roof below the cupola on my barn. If
l have very flat single roof, paint
it when new; all others whitewash be-
fore the scaffold is removed. This is
many times cheaper than paint on new
shingles. Experience and observation
ought to teach old men what material
to use in building; young men are very
apt to follow some INFESTED hobby.

over the fevered eyes, and the poor old
man softly murmured, "ittle Alice,

Georgia tore open the envelope and
unfolded the letter, and the old man
feebly drew nearer in joyful, happy
eagerness.

Though broken tool and weary hand

Which lay so dull within the mine.

To make jewel of a stone:
When every ray of heavenly light

From thy perfected blaze and glow,
The use of sorrow thou shalt know.

"A curious law prevails in the State
of New York in regard to church prop
erty and usage. A majority vote can
change the form of worship in any
church or synagogue, and the minority
cannot resist or appeal. If in Catho-
lie Church majority decides in favor
of introducing the Protestant worship
the question is settled for that COM
munity, and the minority, however
large, must submit in patience. Thus
a vote can change Baptist Church into
one of the Methodist one, and Presby-
terrain Church can swallow an Episcopal
one if it can only secure votes enough
to turn the Episcopalians out.

The poorest way to cook pork cured
in any manner is to boil it. Boiled ham
is favorite dish with most persons, but
q ham first boiled and then baked till
the surface is slightly Drowned is vastly
superior. It is much better to broil
ham than to fry it. To broil it perfect
~ it should be cut in slices scarcely
thicker than the back of carving-knife,
and cooked over very hot Goals. When
much sugar is used in curing hams the
meat will be dark-colored when it is
broiled. On this account many prefer
bacon that is cured with salt alone.
Salt or picked pork should also be cut
in very thin slices when it is to be
broiled or fried. It should be cooked
till nearly all the fat is tried out of it
and the meat is crisp and slightly
Drowned on the surface. It should be
served when hot and on hot plate. If
the fry-kettle is placed in q stove oven.
instead of on the top of the stove, it
will be cooked much better, as the rays
of the heat will strike the upper as well
a. the under surface of the meat. The
best relishes to use with fresh pork are
sage and other garden herbs placed on
the meat when It is being cooked. A
dish Of apple sauce should accompany q
roast of pork. The best relishes to ns6
with salt pork are horse-radish, sour
pickles. mustard, garden radishes and
lettuce, cut up with vinegar.
