DEMOCRATIC COUNTY COXVENHO',. I Why not Take the Front Rank? E d . T idings :—A half naturaliz»! “tender-foot,” late of California, xsks your indulgence ami "wants to know, you know.” He wauls to know, why with belter ¡«asture, sweeter water nml more nutrition«« grass, than is found in any of the California valleys, many of our Ilogm* River valley fann ers protlmx*. uud semi to our stores for sale, such a p«x«r apology for batter, ami why with all the possible elements in their favor they ure conteut to ac cept ten cents per roll below the price of California butter, for au inferior urticle, ami too careless manipulation, when by rights they could and should have ten cents per roll additional, for the superior article which can be pro duced. To illustrate: Going into one of our leading grocers a few days after my arrival with my family, my inquiry after butter wan answered, tt’e nave California butter at 60 aud Oregon butter at 50 cents. I chose the latter, uot for tho difference iu price, but be cause I tun always iu favor of sustain ing local industries, ami will do no consistently, all things being equal. The first sight of the roll, as it ¡«re ctxxlod the clerk ont of the cellar, was not assuring, being of exceeilingly bad aliaj«e, and carelessly moulded, an in spection reached the fact that instead of the roll beiug wrapped, as is usual in California, in light, closely-woven, um<iz»l cotton, kuowu as butter cloth, it was twisted up in u piece of com mon, unbleached stuff known ue “house lining. However that did not matter at the time, for the aroma of the article was good and presag»! the existence of good rich cream. But its tirst ap j pearance upon the table dispell»! our liest anticipations, tlx* first «x*ction cut ’ off expos«*! a lot of bul«lil«»s full of , milk water aud buttermilk, which ran iu istuall rivulets on the butter dish, ami worm thau all exposed the presence ■ of imnpuof salt as larg** as a pea.

Now, while this communication may seetn too mtv-h like a growl at our farmer friemls, 1 can assure you that my only mutivo is to try to iudu»> them to pay mor.« attention to the dairying branch of their business, and thus to place tho dairy products of Southern Oregon where they should stand—in the front rank- both in the home market and elsewhere.
