At thu same lime that the newspaper
were publiHhing the sdvsntages of dairy
ing in Western Oregon a series of meet
ings wss arranged for and held under
the auspice of the Oregon Agricultural
College, and the Tiallii! Department ol
the Southern Pueillc nt various tow ns In
the Willamette Valley. The fannets
iiii.l husioo men look lively interest in
the mailer and cme out to hear what
the speakers had to say from an sgtl-
cultural and biisiiicK standpoint. They
were fold that dairying built up the soil
through rotation of crops; that on ac
count of the mild and euuablo climate
our cows tested a higher per cent of but
ter 1st than those In Minnesota and
Iowa, and did not require additional
(red to sunlaiu animal warmth ; that thu
etablilimeiit of creameries brings ihe
farmer together for discussion of mat
ters pertaining to their mutual illlerext
and welfarj; leads to belter road and
concentrates trade in tow n by forming n
direct communication in every direction
for six miles out daily, thereby affording
the people opportunity of sending to
twn by the milk wagons for merchandise
and mail. In every case, la-fore ad
journment, commutes were apslnted
to carry on the work of organisation and
in this way have started 0 creameries, 3
skimming stations and 3 cheese factor
ies which have added materially to the
Mai production of that section.
Thiiiy cr-uuH-rie ami ft cheeie factor
ies are In operation at town located on
tlio Southern Pacific's line In the Wil
lamette Valley and Houthern Oregon,
and m ls than 5 new plant will start
anon. The total juannfiieturod product
(rum this section in lofl amounted to
1,000,000 pounds of butter and 60,010
(hiuihIs of cheese.
Aside from the addition of new cream
eries to the in Itisiry, the increase in
product is shown by a statement from
the Albany creamery, giving results for
the first ten month ol 1000 compared
with the same period in 1800; it shows
the total receipts by months; pounds of
milk received; pounds of butter fat;
number of patrons; amount paid per
pound lor bolter fat and total amount
paid patrons. The receipts for tho ten
months In 1000 represent an increaso of
55 (sir cent.
With facilities extended by the rail
road ami express companies lor trans
portation of cream and milk at very low
rates, dinners living near the railroad
are brought in easy reach of creameries.
The man with three or lour cows Is able
to build up a dairy herd. Attention is
being given to the breeding ol belter
stock, and to this end importation of
many line animal have been made du
ring the J ear.
Mel hods of cheapening cost of feed by
concentration are also receiving more
attention than ever before, and while ull
varieties of grasses grow luxuriantly in
this section, silos are springing up in
every direction us if by magic, ten hav
ing recently been completed in one sec
lion of Iicnton County.
1'IkIi Market.
Another business house is now open
ed un iu Independence. One that the
good housewife will appreciate too.
Mers. II. E. and J. O. Palmer, late of
McMiunville, have bought the poultry
business of Win Harnett and opened a
neat market on Mam street where they
will be ready to buy poultry, eggs, etc.,
for cash. They propose to keep on hand
at all timrs fresh oysters, clams, crabs,
fish, poultry and eggs and lo fill all or
ders iiiomntlv and satisfactorily. The
boys appear to be full ol business and
will no doubt succeed as the town has
never hud enough fish, claniB or oysters;
and then paying cash to the farmer for
his products will help bring more bust
ricRfl hero. We need thone kind of men
and should give them encouragement.

. TV only hio tht Mr. Corbeli'i
Diiiiut)ni have lie in their Ability
to secure a Worct . ballot for their
cittitiidttti .'Jin "cftucua. The tin
soj'liiriticai'Hl miglit suppose that a
iiuinlier ol tho legislature who
would vote for Mr, Corbett by Bocret
ballot would do sooponly, but there
in they fail to comprehend thowaye
of the wily politicians. When one
candidate has an unlimited amount
of money in the hands of his man
agers, he evinces it desire for a sec
ret caucus,, and his subsidized or
gans are replete Willi anonymous
fttem and editorials in favor of the
ca icti" system of nomination. Hut
ho far as heard from none of them
can advance any valid reason why
tiieiiiber has any right to conceal
us vote trom public scrutiny or
agree to be hound by the action of a
fraudulent and corrupt caucus to
vote against hia convictions and
contrary to tho wishes of those who
letted him.
