WKDDERnrRN Nov. 20. Located on

is the thriving little town of WcdJer-
hum, in which every line of business,
every buiKlin, whether dwelling or

by one ierwin. Nor is that nil. The
lands lying ahn.g Kogne. Uiver for a din-
t ince up from 10 to 15 miles on both

C. U. Sherman, of Madison, S. 1),
w ho oierates seven creameries iu the
neighborhood of that town, after having
taken a trip through a jwtion of
Western Oiegou, says he considers Ore
gon an ideal dairy country'and wonder
whv there are no more creameries es
tablished.
"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
