MODEL DAIRY FARM
At Io. Islund.Colurnliia County,
On-jron, i.s loruteii the most nwidern,
i-t' dittc, sanitary dairy in the
utato of ()r.-Kim. It in owncl l,y
Mr. K. L. ThorniHoti of the firm of
Ihrtniiiii & Tliotnpson, Hanker, of
l'ortland, mid conniHti of 400 acrcB
of choice lands. The farms un
named the Clover Hill Farms. About
-'' acres is on the river bottom
mil during the hi'ifh water in June
nearly a.l overflowed by the river.
Hut the method of farming this
nd makes the overllow a jrreat
"eneiit, as two larjcu yielding crops
re Kiiiered from it, whereas only
one could be Kathered if the water
did not cover it. Another 200 acres
is lirah bench and up land on which
ureat crops of kale, corr, ami other
cro"8 are harvested. A visit to the
farm this week was made very in
teresting by watching the process
of cleaning up the barns and build
ings and harvesting the crops.
About 12 men were employed on
the farms, exclusive of the poultry
department, and great loads of hay
period is passed." It i uite proba
ble that as the Guernsey breed of
cuttle becomes better known by the
farmers of the Northwest that the
'demand for them will increase'
I amazingly.
i I
I At the present time about 00.
, cows are being milked and each day
, a shipment of about 50 cases or lofi j
j gallons of pure certified milk is.
'shipped to t ortland. X he prices
I received. for this milk are the high
est paid for any milk delivered into
the city of Portland. There is a
: reason for this, and a glimpse at
the Cow barns, milk room and other
buildings is enough of itself to war
rant the high prices being obtained.
The cows are brought in from the
pasture in the evening and
thoroughly groomed and, washed.
The barns are cleaned, scrubbed,
washed and disinfected in the even
ing an 1 morning, twice each day,
so that whn entering the stables
they are as clean as can possibly be.
There is absolutely or odor or dirt
on the premises. To demonstrate
the cleanliness of this barn a lunch
table is to be set on the barn floor

THE SANITARY COW BARNS
were being hauled into the yards,
where it was put through a chopper
and placed into a silo. Two large
silos are being filled, each contain
ing (.K) tons, and a third of the same
capacity is to be built at once, mak
ing a capacity for ensilage of 270
tons. The men are also at this time
seeding crops of rye, outs and vetch
on the low or river lands, which
crops will be harvested before the
high water next spring. Immedi
ately after the water goes down
the same land will be re-seeded
ith oats, millet ami corn and this:
crop will be harvested in the fall.j
This plun has been employed on this
.lac already for two or three
years and has proved successful,
the crops now being harvested being j
suiTn-iftit proof of that success.
I'art of the high land is cropped
.villi oats and vetch, which is, made
;nto hay to provide a mixed ration
for the cows. Still another por
tion of this ground is used for
growing kale for the same purpose.
"We consider alfalfa, kale, corn
in, I vetch the very best of all foods
for milk" said Mr. W. Al. Kelton.
the superintendent of the farm, and
in accordance with that belief great
t ops of each of these are beini
un vested ar.d fed to the cows. An
xperimet.t is now being tried with
lfali'a on the lower lands and from
ne.-e:it appc.i: aaces has every indi
cation of being a success. With
I fa! .'a growing on the place, that
mikes up the four great milk foods,
oil.ng is another feature of this
lac. The green feed is cut and
',.,1 direct to the cows instead of
.cii g pastured. Hy this method
he same amount of feed will sup
i'v a much greater number of cows,
it being said that at least two cows
o:in be fed this way on green feed
where one could be fed by pastur
ing. The stock on the place consists of
il.ont t'.r niileh cows and two
reg st 't ed lluernsey bulls in service,
the cows being mostly Guernsey
and Guernsey grade, several of
them having been imported direct
from the Guernsey Islands. It is
the intention of Mr. Thompson to
dvent .tally have nothing on the place
but registered Guernsey cattle.
"We consider the Guernsey as the
best dual purpose cow, giving a
arire amount of rich milk; several
of those we now have giving 5 gal
lons a day," said Mr. Kelton. "and
cows of this breed make an excel
lent carcass of beef after their
profitable milking and breeding
on the day of the sale there and the
people are to be invited to eat
where the cows were kept the night
before, and it will be just as clean
as water and scrubbing can make
it, with no odor or dirt to bother
the most particular person present.
This farm is devoted entirely to
supplying certified milk to Portland
and the product is distributed by
the Portland Pure Milk & Cream
Co. of that city. There are only
