Several year* ago there were very few row» In Crook county that gave enough milk to more than raise their calves. One of the best sellng lines of canned goods for the m erchants was condensed m ilk, for everybody, farm ers, m erchants and laboring men. bad to use It. Now this Is all changed for there Is hardly a farm th at has not at least one or two rows. Most of the best cows were eith er brought from the W illam ette Valley or raised from stock brought from ; there. In the last year or two. how ever. several carloads of good : grade row s have been shipped from the East, eith er AA'IsconsIn or ' Illinois. This Is a good practice In (hat better stock Is obtained, but there are liable to be diseased rows In the lot. The first cows that were brought to this section were brought over the m ountain roads from the valley on foot. T his was years be fore the railroad cam e to Crook county. After the railroad came dif ferent organisations shipped cows and sold them to the farm ers. The cows are usually sold on the Installm ent plan, a portion of the money received for the milk or cream being turned over to apply on the purchase price. The dairy Industry here offers op portunities th at m ake It very good In some particulars, but the chief draw back I, the long season that feed Is required. In the spring the first pasture th at Is obtainable Is rye th at has been planted in the fall. It 1 comes up very early and cow* do well on it, and It may then be plowed under In May when other feed comes on. Bunch grass is native every where and m akes an excellent pas- ture, but It cannot be Irrigated with profit, and so dries up in the sum mer. In June or before, soiling crops come into season and can be cut and fed green. Probably the best soiling crop Is Canada field [teas, but the different clovers are also good and can be fed green. The chief dis advantage of such feeds Is th at If fed too heavily they cause bloat. They are. however, rich In food m aterials th at m ake milk, and for the greatest profit have to be fed. The different clovers, alfalfa, red m am m oth, etc., when pastured, cause bloat In most cows. T here are dif ferent preparations on the m arket th a t can be given to the cows before they are turned on the field which are claim ed to prevent bloat, but we have not seen any of them th at are universally a success. W atering the cows before turning them In the pa*, tu re Is also said to prevent bloat. If they do bloat, an excellent rem edy Is a pint of kerosene with an equal am ount of w ater. The cow Is drench ed with this. The final rem edy, and the only sure one, Is to puncture the paunch and let the gas escape. The trocar and canula are best for this purpose, but If they are not handy the butcher knife or a pair of scis sors should be used. The advantage of the trocar and canula la th at the wound Is sm all and the hole is held open. For the main feed |n winter alfal fa Is alm ost universally used It 1» as rich In protein as bran and as ea ally digestible Some farm ers make the m istake of feeding bran with al falfa. but If any gralu Is fed It should be very concentrated, such as barley or the heavier mill stuffs The w inter succulence moat used here la roots, such as turnips, ca r rots. m angels and rutabaga* Kuta bagas do the best and are easier to raise C arrots are probably the beat feed Kale has been tried here, but It does not do so well as In the NVII- lam ette Valley, on account of the cold w eather In the w inter In this section. Kale, however, m akes a good fall feed and for that purpose should be planted In hotbed» and transplanted. To get the best results from cows a variety of feeds should be fed. not only because some are richer than others, but because cows grt tired of one thing, and It has been found that a change, even If the new feed Is no better, will bring Increased yields. In the w inter the feed should con sist, for the best results, of hay, grain and roots Home farm ers think that It does not pay to feed grain and so keep their cows all winter long on straig h t alfalfa or clover W hen half of the cream check goes to the bank all the tim e for pay on the cows It does take money out of the farm er's pocket, but he la pay ing It on the cows that much faster The main difficulty now Is to dis pose of the product. Home of the farm ers are fortunately situated with regard to a cream ery or cheese fac tory, but most of them have to haul their cream quite a distance or ship It on the train. The num ber of rows does not w arrant any more cream eries than there are at present and there will not be many more cows until there are more settlers In the country and more land In crops to feed the rows. The best way to get them here Is to do all wo ran to ad vertlse the country am ong the most desirable class of farm ers, for the most prosperous farm ers, those who have a steady and sure Income, are dairy farm ers They depend on the cow not only for their main Income, but she helps them to raise hogs, keeps up the fertility of the soli amt. above all, keeps them at a steady Job. A. (J. Alllngham , Z M. Ilrown and J. T. Hardy assisted In loading the two car* of sheep that J N William son shipped from this point yester day. Hardy said th at both Alllng- ham and Brown were up as early as 3 a. m. yesterday so as to get a good start on the loading, and that they applied m ethods of loading that were used In the days when they used to load sheep by the thousands. But despite all that, they got the sheep well loaded and started on their way to Portland, and that was the prln clpal thing to get the sheep In the cars, even If It was work of a dlffl cult nature.
