FORKFULS OF FACTS. 
To Kill Warts.— If M. K. will mb 
the warts with castor oil, he will soon 
miss them, if his experience is the same 
as mine has been. I had a heifer with a 
large wart behind the fore leg, that was 
removed by this simple remedy. 
Harvard, IMass. A. w. R. 
Largi: Eggs.— From my experience, I 
find that the number of eggs laid de¬ 
pends more upon the feed than upon the 
breed ; but the size of the eggs depends 
more upon the breed, than upon the feed. 
I do not believe that it is possible to in¬ 
crease the size of the eggs by feeding. 
L. IL MYERS. 
Meat for Big Eggs.— The size of eggs 
can be increased by the liberal use of 
ground green bone. Or, if you have no 
mill, get the scraps from the butcher, 
cook them and scald the morning mash 
with die liquid, mixing in the meat, and 
feed hot. Dry ground meat is of some 
benefit, liut is not so good as fresh.

An Ayrshire Bull Calf.— September 
21, I w'eighed my Ayrshire bull calf, 
Angus, llis weight was .540 pounds. He 
was then six months and three days old. 
To-day he weighed (>70 pounds, at the 
age of eight months and three days. His 
gain in 01 days has been 130 pounds, or 
a little over two ponnds per day. He was 
dropped March 18, 1804. Sire, Sir Walter 
Hooker, 4775 ; dam, Marjorie, 0810. 1 
send this note to show how a calf of the 
smaller breed may be developed by noth¬ 
ing more than a liberal feeding and good 
care otherwise. i). .m. C-\mi*rell. 
Oneonta, N. Y. 
Feeding Cahhage.— I have a quantity 
of soft cabbage which I desire to feed 
my cow. My neighbors tell me that they 
will cause abortion. Will they do so ? 
1 expect the cow to calve about February 
1. She will be dry about January 1, 1 
think; she gives about three or four 
quarts of milk a day now. A. A. f. 
11. N.-Y.—We have fed any quantity 
of cabbage to cows, and never heard of 
such feed causing abortion. Of course 
you must use moderation with any feed. 
You might cause a cow to abort by stufl:- 
ing her w'ith corn meal. Do not feed 
over 10 pounds of soft cabbage a day, 
and mix it (chopped up) with her grain 
or her hay. You might jiut a spi-inkling 
of salt on it. 
Eastern Oregon Stock.— Many cattle 
have been sold at fair prices. Consider¬ 
able wool is raised in this county, and 
was disposed of at living prices. A party 
from Omaha is feeding 1,000 head of steers 
in different parts of the Valley, with 
hay at 83 per ton, and grain worth next 
to nothing. It looks as though he will 
make money out of them. Not much 
grain is hauled out of this county, most 
of it is fed here, and from now on, more 
will be sold on the outside. The farm- 
A NICKEL-PLATED ROAD. 
“ Are the rails and engines all nickel- 
plated ? ” is asked, time and time again, 
by parties who are contemplating a trip 
West, over this, now famous and popular, 
route. If not, where did it get its name 
of Nickel Plate ? That is the question ! 
Where did it get its name ? It has jnstly 
earned its great popularity by reason of 
its smooth road-bed, elegant equipment, 
superb dining cars, fast time, and, above 
all, by its giving to the public the l/jwest 
rates of any jirstrclass line, between the 
East and West. Popular low-rate ex¬ 
cursions are of frequent occurrence, and 
every attention is shown its patrons for 
their comfort and pleasure. Through 
palace and sleeping cars are run between 
Boston, New York and Chicago, over the 
Fitchburg, West Shore and Nic el Plate 
roads. All information as to low rates, 
through sleeping cars, etc., may be ob¬ 
tained of your nearest ticket agent, or 
by addressing F. J. Moore, General 
Agent, Nickel Plate Road, 23 Exchange 
Street, Buffalo, N. Y,—Adv. 
ers of Wallowa County are not kicking 
about hard times as much as farmers in 
other parts of the State. Nearly every one 
has plenty of hogs to turn off, and nearly 
every one has sold at four cents deliv¬ 
ered near by. Some were in a hurry, 
and sold at four cents delivered 50 miles 
from here. Some have driven their hogs 
out there, and are feeding them 15-cent 
wheat. Hogs have dropped in price, and 
farmers are jubilant over selling early.

Chaff in Eye ; Churning.— I have 
taken oat chaff out of cattle’s eyes sev¬ 
eral times, by using honey. Dip the finger 
in the honey, and draw it quickly across 
the ball of the eye ; this is all that is 
needed. Look out that the animal does 
not strike you with the horns. Honey 
will remove the white film from the eye 
in cases that have been neglected till the 
eye, to all appearance, is ruined. 
We have tried the r)2-degrees standard 
for churning, at various times, for years, 
and could never get the butter to come 
at that figure. We have learned that if 
we want the butter to come within from 
30 to 45 minutes, 70 degrees is the mark, 
and we do not try to churn any below 
that, as experience has shown us that 
the work is all thrown away if we do. 
We churn all our milk and cream with¬ 
out skimming, which may account for 
our failure to get butter at (52 degrees. 
We have used several different makes of 
thermometers, and find only one to two 
degrees dift’erence in them. i>. s.
