Prineville offers a splendid field
for a good creamery. One with a
medium capacity could -lie made to
nay from the start It would do
away with much of the farm but
ter that now finds its way into the
homes of our people. Instead of
butter that would lie classified as
good, bad and indifferent mostly
bad and indifferent we would
have the fancy product made up
on scientific principles. Instead
of receiving 20 or 25 cents a pound
for the butter farmers would
get much more than that for the
butter fat. A creamery as started
at Ontario, Malheur county, last
winter and farmers who sold their
butter for 25 cents received 27
cents tor their butter fat. This
fact is used simply as an illubtra
tion of the advantage that would
accrue to those of our farmers that
sell butter in the Prineville
market. Creamery butter sells
for 40 cents a pound in the Prine
ville market today.
The introduction of a creamery
into our midst would I of great
benefit to those who make butter
which is poor, or common-place, or
not above the average in quality,
and such makers are generally in
the majority. Iu nearly all manu
factures the cost of production de
creases with tho increase in the
quantity produced. And as sys
tem in the work proceeds and the
methods and appliances improve
the quantity of the product be
comes better and more uniform.
It has been proved that if the
cream produced on a hundred
farms is taken to one place and
made into butter the work can be
done at less cost per pound than if
made on a hundred farms If the
factory is well equipped and well
conducted, with an expert butter
maker, the butter product will be
of a higher quality than the aver
age of the butter from the hundred
farms with their many different
makers, and of course the product
is more uniform. In every dairy
more or less waste and loss in
handling the materials always re
sults no matter bow well managed,
and unless churning is done daily
much cream is churned when too
old or not old enough. At the
creamery the proportion of waste
and loss is much lees and all
cream can he churned at axaetly
the right time. The result is that
the creamery can make more
pounds of butter from a given
quantity of cream than can be
done if the same material is work
ed up on different farms.
Another saving would be made
in selling the product. Large lots
can be sold at a much better ad
vantage than if handled in a hun
dred different lots. Hundreds of
cases can be cited in Minnesota
and v isconin in winch a cream
ery has been substituted for farm
butter making in a community
with these definite and satisfactory
results:
The quality of the whole factory
product is equal to the best of the
single dairies of the same com
munity. A greater quantity of
butter is produced from the same
cows, the average selling price
and the net return is considerably
increased. The gains are sufti
cient to cover the whole cost of
running the creamery, thus mak
ing the cash income to the farmers
from a given number of cows as
much as by the old system and
often more, while at the same time
all the labor, trouble and expense
That the cow is the best of
moneymakers for the farmer is the
assertion of K. C. Eldridge, of In
dependence, owner of creameries
at Indejiendence, Dayton, Jeffer
son, Jiugene ana junction Hiy,
and one of the largest buyers of
cream in the Willamette Valley.
"A large part of the prosperity
of the Willamette Valley has come
from milch cow." "Dairying beats
wheatraising out of sight. And
three or four years of dairying on
wheat land will double the wheat
growing capacities of the soil. A
number of farmers in Polk are
raising more than 30 bushels of
wheat to the acre on such land,
which several years ago would not
produce more than 12 or 15 bush
ek. "A farmer with, say 60 cows, al
though that's a pretty large herd,
and with hogs and chickens as ac
cessories, can make more money
than do many of the country
banks that is, if he uses brains
as well as hands. It's a bonanza
for him, sure enough. Farmers
are fast coming into realization of
this; in fact, many of them realize
it already. Dairy products always
can find a market without hunting
for it, at high prices. But dairy
ing requires constant and close at
tention every day in the year, and
for this reason some farmers are
unwilling to take up with it.
''Dairying has enabled many a
a farmer to clear himself of debt
and store up a bank account. One
mn of my acquaintance, who. six
years ago, owned 30 acres of land
and was in debt, by going into the
dairying business paid his debt,
bought 70 acres more for $3850,
and has paid $2500 of this price
already. The other day he sold 14
6-months-old hogs for $217. An
other farmer, with 14 acres, last
January sold $133 worth eggs and
$57 worth of butter fat. He has
(00 chickens and half a dozen
cows. Another who, four years
ago, had to borrow money to buy
a cow, now has money to lend, and
I know of his having loaned $500.

Oregon Wool.
The wool season that has just
come to an end in this state has
been an exceedingly prosperous
one for the farmers, but whether
the merchants who took the prod
uct off their hands will fare so well
remains to be seen. Last year the
buyers nearly all lost money, as
they bought on the crest of the
high price wave and had to con
tend with a falling market in dis
posing of their wares. This year
they were more cautious in pur
chasing, but the end has not come
yet, and the prospects are not so
rosy for them as they would like.
The growers, however, have no
cause to complain, rnces nave
ruled about as high as last year,
and the profits have been about as
large. Whether or not the mid-
He men have realized on their
trading operations is a question
that does not greatly concern the
farmer.
Three and a half million dollars
have been brought into the state
this season by the wool industry
alone, oaies oi sneep and lamos
have added millions more, so pros
perity should reign in the wool
growing sections. The average
price received by the growers has
been about 18 cents a pound. The
clip of Oregon aggregated close to
18,000,000 pounds. The buyers
who operated in the state handled
some 3,000,000 pounds of Washing
ton wool in sections tributary to
these markets at the same time.
