Chamber to Be Host
- To Four Governors
A feature of the entertainment pro
gram for the western governors who
will come to Portland to participate in
the Governors.' day program on Tues
day, November 8, at the Pacific Inter
national, will be a dinner to be given
in the green room of the Chamber of
Commerce on Friday evening, Novem
ber 11, by the Chamber of Commerce,
in connection with the Chrysanthemum
show.
Ex-Governor Frank O. Lowden of IHU
nols will give an informal talk at this
dinner. E. E. FaviUe, editor of the
Western . Farmer and chairman of the
Chamber's agricultural committee, will
oe in tnarge oi arrangements.
The operations of production and dis
tribution of the Hollywood farm, at
Hollywood, Wash-, have been brought to
such efficiency that the flow of milk
products to the Seattle coasumers has
come to be a part of the' daily food
attribution of the community. The
business is standardized by the provision
ot every facility that can assure main
tenance of the high quality which has
been set, and ' consequently the Holly
wood trademark carries a guarantee
that has come to be a 'legal . tender"
wherever known.
A dairy store is maintained in Seattle
by the Hollywood farm, where products
fresh from the farm which have been
handled with regard for sanitation and
wholesomeness at. every step and which
are maintained at a quality that never
shows appreciable variation.
PAIRT DISHES SERVED ;
At the cafeteria counter of the dairy
store, a menu of dairy and other dishes
are served. At the retail counter, milk,
butter, cottage cheese and other dairy
products are sold. A feature of the
Hollywood service is the supplying of
milk for babies.
The Hollywood farm was purchased
by Fred S. Stimson in 1910. A herd of
grade cows which had produced milk
for the Seattle market was included in
the deal of the acreage, which extends
across the Sammamish valley. Stimson
added a number of registered Holstein
rows, with a view to developing a high
class herd. An accounting system re
quires a showing by every cow.
An especially interesting feature about
Hollywood farm is the fact that most
of the cows now on the farm have been
bred there. . Many of them claim the
famous Judge Segis for their sire, which
iin itself puts a high distinction on
them.
COWS ARE SELECTED
Certain cows are selected for the sup
ply of milk to babies. These are milked
before the' rest of the herd, the milk
passed through sterile gauze, cooled to
a low temperature and bottled. A spe
cial cap covers the neck of the 'bottle
as further protection.
All of the stables are kept scrupuously
clean, being finished in concrete. In
the utilization of the by-products the
same efficiency which is shown in the
handling of the milk is attained.
Forty-two acres of land are used for
the poultry department of the Hollywood
farm. Every hen tias to Justify her
maintenance for production. Products
of the poultry department are sent to the
Hollywood dairy store.

in which she produced 13,747.9 lbs. of milk with

We are now, and have been for some time, feeding
'-'Milk Maker" to our test cows, and wish to say that
our experience has been very satisfactory, and we
intend continuing its use.
Keep up the present standard of Milk Maker and
you will render the breeders a real service.

Dear 8lr: On the 8th day of this month 1 finished an
official 30-day record with my Holstein Frieslsn cow.
Stanhope Belle Johanna No. I82S77. ' During that time she
produced 3560.9 lbs. milk, containing 12.674 lbs. fat,
equivalent to 128.23 lbs. butter. During this same period
she finished a seven-day record of 859.7 lbs. milk, con- ;
tain lng 27.375 Its. fat, equivalent to 34.22 lbs. butter.
During all this time the cow has beep fed a concen
trated ration of Kerr's Milk Maker, and I may say the
cow Is in as good or better condition today than she was
, at the time of freshening. This, in my mind, speaks vol
umes for Jfour teed, for a cow with her production has
been under heavy strain at all times and shows no 111
effects. ,
If you will maintain this standard of your feed, I shall
not hesitate to recommend it to anyone desiring a first
