Salem Wsis a Cir eat Dairy
Doubled Its Imp
. (By JESSE HUBER)
A dairy country la a prosperous
country. The reasons for this are
apparent. -
The cow gathers her food, dur
ing the summer months from pas
tures, turning forage ' having a
low market Value, into highly
prized dairy products.
The cow mar he wintered on
silage, hay and a ration of grain,
during which time she will reward
her keeper with a run now oi nu
tritious milk a product now in
demand in our cities at high
prices. ' "
The ieriuiiy irum iue
barn will greatly increase the pro
duction of the nems. insuring
lareer and more profitable returns
from tbe land. j
Is the Willamette yaiiey a gooa
dairy country? I t
The answer may oe given wun
an emphatle "Yes." t
There are good reasons ror inis
claim. Because or the cool sum
mers and mild winters here tne
energy of cows Is directed almost
entirely toward the production of
milk. No scorching summer heat
to endure. No icy, chilling blasts
during long winters to exhaust
her vitality. - f
Here, in western Oregon. , the
dairy cow may he kept in uniform
eomfort during all months of the
year.
In the wuiameue vaney a
plentiful supply of dairy feed may
be produced. About . an ot tne
principal . grain and forage crops
etn be grown here. Barley, wheat,
oats, corn, clover, vetch and mixed
rruses yield good crops. From
these the dairyman may select
those best suited to his type of
soil and particular needs.-
. Clover hay and good corn silage
are unexcelled as a combination
feed for the dairy cow. A portion
of homegrown griin; chopped and
fed with the ' clover and silage,
supplies the dairy herd with a bal
anced' ration thaf will insure the
dairyman a large return laf'mllk
and butterfat.. ' - ;r :
This is a good country In which
to grow corn for silage.
If the ground is fertile and. well
prepared and the corn planted
early in May a large yield of com
may be expected. The hulk of
corn, to be cut Into the silo, may
be greatly increased by planting
the tall learning variety , of corn.
Ten to twenty tons of green corn
can be taken from a single acre of
tum uuufr lavorame condi
tions. - ;
The supply of dairy products Is
not nearly equal to the demand
Tbe creameries,, cheese factories
and milk condensaries in western
Oregon are . calling "for more and
more milk. Our towns and cities
are reporting IT shortage In the
milk supply for household use.
Prices for dairy products have
bee.n going up for a number of
years. Now they are so high that
a good many homes are unable to
use more than a limited supply of
milk and butter.
Under these conditions, any one
inclined toward the occupation of
dairying is confronted by every
encouragement. The field In Mar
ion and adjoining counties is wide
open for the intelligent and ener
getic, man who is willing to give
to the business of dairying proper
attention.
Several large creameries in Sa
lem are in full operation through
out the year. These are in the
market at all times for any quan-

SALEM HAS A COOPERATIVE
CREATilERY DOING VERY WELL
It is Backed by 150 Dairymen and is Patronized by a
Number of Others Who Are Not Members, and the
Business is. Growing and Flourishing- - -----
'The Capital-City Co-operative
creamery, with offices at 137
South Commercial street, is one
of the outstanding institutions of
its kind in Marion county.''
Established about seven iears
ago, this institution has enjoyed
a very flattering growth, . ita
present output being approximat
ely 175,000 pounds of butter an
nually.
. It Is a co-operative enterprise
in the true sense of the word, as
iS of its stockholders, about-150
IS number, are dairymen of Polk
tad Marion counties. ' - .
The stockholders supply about
50 per cent of. the dairy, products
handled.! ;-
Speaking of tbe creamery. Otto
N. Hoppes. the manager, said:
"Our growth has been very
gratifying, and: indications are
that our operations will cover a
larger and larger field each year;
also that our butter sales will ex
pand from now on." .
The. officers are: - it. N. Mag-
ness. president; C. F. Bates, vice
president; 4W. B. AUeta, secretary-
treasurer; otto N. Hoppes, man

SALEM'S BIG CREAMERY !

has the best Jersey cow in tbe
world ; the writer was about to
say, the best living Jersey cow in
the world. But tha word best
needs Ho qualifications. .
, The best Jersey cow In thB
world is Vive La- France 319616,
shown in the above cut. Last
winter. Plain Mary, a Maine Jer
sey cow, completed a year's milk
ing record that was 'aight-tenths
of a pound higher than the
world's record held by Vive La
France. It was 1040. OS pounds
or butterfat. against the 1039.28
pounds of butterfat c -edited to
Vive La France. But Vive La
France had part of her record dis
qualified during the tasting per
iod, owing to sickness, and sne
really produced more butterfat by
several pounds than did Plain
Mary during her test of twelve
months. . j
But Plain Mary is dead.
So our Marion. Marion county
cow is both the greatest and the
greata3t living Jersey cow In the
world.
By other-testa, the ia a greater
cow than any ther Jersey cow,
living or 'dead. When she became
the greatest Jersey cow In the
world sha also became in tbe same
test the greatest 4-year-old Jer
sey cow In the world, by a long
lead. She had'made high records
as a 2-year-old and a 2-year-old.
By tbe 'test of continuous per
formance, she Is the greatest Jer
sey cow in the world. By cumu
lative test, she is the greatest.
The fact is. Oregon is the great
est Jersey state, as well as tha
greatest dairy state, potentially,
in the Union-j because we have
here the best natural conditions
in the world for the production
of tha best cows of -all dairy
breeds. We have the climate and
the soil and the things that grow
a. i
on the soil that combine to make
this the greatest section or tbe
world for the production of tbe
best dairy cows. -
Oregon holds five of the eight
records In the Jersey world
And she is going to capture
them. all.
Vive La France can beat her
own record, and there are other
Oregon Jerseys that can baat the
Plain Mary record.
Very soon, the contest for Jer
sey world records will be between
OregonVJersey cows; they will be
competing with ona another, for
they will outdistance the Jerseys
or all other parts or the world.

Very largely, the milk Is con- J
dehsed, in order to save freight
that would otherwise be paid on
water, and sent in that form fresh
to Portland, and it is used prin
cipally in the ice cream trade.
. The butter is mostly sold lo
cally and in the Portland and Se

This institution Is equipped In
its Salem plant to. make cheese,
and, during the past season the
Evergreen cheese factory, five
miles south of Silverton, was
leased and a superior article of
cheese turned, out there. '
The Marion creamery is locat

' Milk stands at the head of the

the substance for new flesh as the

increase his muscle he should use
a liberal amount, of milk. Good

sugar as a food by comparing It

The most Important of these are
lime, phosphorus, iron, potash and
magnesium. The fluids of the body
that bathe tbe organs, flowing
back and forth, carrying food and
waste material, have dissolved In
them certain minerals. It is al
most exactly the same mixture of
lime, potash, magnesium, etc., we

The Done of Milk.
What, bone in milk? Yes. milk
has bone In It. It Is In solution
and we do not throw It away, as
we do with the bone of meat. We
eat It.' It is the lime and phos
phorus we find In the ash. The
hardness and strength of bones
and teeth are due ta lime and
phosphorus. Once formed, they
are not necessarily permanent. A
cow at the University of Wiscon
sin was placed on a lime-free diet.
She gave up the lime of her bone
for her calf until she became
greatly emaciated. Milk Is a lime
food. It CONTAINS MORE LIME
THAN DOES WATER. To keep
her own teeth and bones bard and
to r.take teeth acd bones for. the
baby, the mother should have one'
quart of milk per dav.
Iron la the Blood.
The body holds no reserve of
Iron.- Iron Is being eliminated
from- the body daily. The rate of
elimination Is such that we should
lose all our blood In about 509
days. For this reason It Is
