Nor is that nil. The lands lying ahn.g Kogne. Uiver for a din- t ince up from 10 to 15 miles on both sides are almost all owned byjihe same person.

"In Oregon the grass appears to grow the year around, and the dairyman has a never-failing market in Portland and the cities of Puget Sound. 1 have been shipping a number of carloads of butter to Seattle, but the freight amounts to 3 cents a pjund, while we can, ship to New York City for 2 cents. At present 'the wholesale price of butter in New York is 21 cents" a pound aud this leaves a good margin of profit to the South Dakota farmer, who has batter fat to sell the creameries. The price we iy for butter fat is three cents loss than the quotations in'New York. ''1 took a trip through Yamhill coun ty and visited the creamery at McMinn ville and I found an unwillingness among the farnu-rs to engage iu the dairy business ou acouut of its being confining, but a man can make more cl -ar money off 40 milch cows than he can working several hundred acres lu raiding w heat, aud he can do it easier.
