How Much a Cow Eats.

A COW is not inclined to gluttony
Usually when the appetite is satisfied a
COW will stop eating. Amy cows appe-
tite may be gagged in this way; Give
her all the feed she will eat and have
left. Wheigh what is given to her and
notice what is consumed. Then make
the ration three-fourths of the guam
tity eaten. No animal, nor even man,
should have all it can eat, and the sur
plus above what is necessary is iDjuri-
Gus, and produces disease. Generally
more harm is done by over-eating
than by starving. The staple ration for
a COW is fifteen pounds of hay and five
pounds of meal, or the equivalent in
other food. As grass or green fodder
contains seventy-five per cent. more
water than hay, four times as much
grass or green fodder should be given
in place of hay; that is, sixty pounds
with the meal. Some cows will proba-
bly, require more and very few less than
this quantity.

A Dangerous Weapon.

Mr.. Show, commercial man represent
ing Messrs Moody & Valentine of Port
land, dealers in notions, was in Corvallis last
Monday night. He went out after dark
and was walking along the sidewalk when
he claims that two unknown men purposely
pushed him off the sidewalk. Mr. Shaw
had quantity of money with him belong
ing to the house which he was representing
but he succeeded in getting by the intru.
ders and went on around the block where
again he encountered what he supposed to
be the same two men who again pushed him
off the sidewalk. The night was as dark as
the remotest dungeons of Hades, yet Mr..
Shaw thought from the snap of his pursuers
eyes that they meant robbery. He however
succeeded in passing them again when he
rushed down to Mr.. Langworthy's store and
requested the loan Of pistol. Mr.. Lee
whom he applied to granted to him the loan
of dangerous weapon with the lock likely
broken off and the trigger lost and which had
probably not been loaded since war times
with the savages on the frontier. Armed
with such a weapon of death and destruction
Mr.. Shaw wended his way back to his hotel
and there remained until morning without
being further molested. 1t is astonishing
how ''varmints'' keep out of the range oi
| those persons armed with dangerous
weapons.

Heavy Storms Failure -of Railroad Trains
to Connect-hand Slides ana Bridges
Washed Away.

The railroad trains on Wednesday on both
the east and west side roads failed to reach
their destination. The recent heavy storms
on the west side road had produced quite an
extensive land slide between Summit and
Beaverton. At CASTOR bridge washed out
so that the trains comeiug from either end
of the road could not reach each other and
hence a connection was prevented. Every
thing was so far repaired as to make regular
connections on yesterday. On the east side
road like causes washed several bridges and
made destruction to railroad property gen.
eral along the line. The trains along that
line also failed to make connections. About
two hundred feet of ths trestle work at the
south end of the bridge at Jefferson was en-
tirely washed away, and several more brid-
ges on that side were destroyed. 1t is said
that the water in the Santiam river was
higher than ever known before. The storms
north of here were certainly quite severe.
Wheat buyers from below were telegraph
ing south from Portland to learn how the
wheat was being cared for and to know if
the storm had so far effected the water as
to destroy it.

M. s. WooDcocK. Sir:-In looking over
the GAZETTE see you are wanting to hear
from different parts of the country. As I
| am constant reader of your papet every
week, therefore send you few lines from
the far off land of Yakima. This evening
find myself in the little log-cabin that l
call my own, where the sound of pratling
children are not heard, and where the old
bachelor sits quietly by the freside smok.
ing his pipe in peace and quietude, and
thinks back of the land where he once lived
and longs to be there again to eat red ap-
pies and talk with the pretty girls.
The winter so far is all that heart could
wish. Up to this time we have not had any
snow in the valley and but very little on
the low hills. We have had some rain
which has caused the green grass to grow
and in some localities it is three to four
inches high.
Stock of all kinds are doing well which
makes an average cowboy feel happy. At
present we are having skoocum tum tum
on account of our prospects of railroad
| next season, which when completed will
give US an outlet to market and cause our
county to rank among the leading counties
of the territory. immigration is coming in
slow compared with other parts of this up
per country. Yakama City is improving
| rapidly. The merchants all have large
stocks of goods and business is generally
good. -e
Wheat is worth one dollar per bushel.
| Oats and barley each IS cts. per bushel.
Flour seven dollars per barrel. Produce OF
all kinds is higher this fall than usual on
account of>the drouth this season. Cattle
are still looking up and it is hard to tel
how high the figures will reach before the
market stops rising. -
| There are several Benton county boys il
this part of the world. Mr.. Russell ant
family are living in Yakima City, also VIM.
| Thornton is there welding the paint brusl
and seems to be doing well.
