Cents.
The output of butter from the En
terprise creamery sold for an aver
age price of Just a small fraction
less than 33 cent3 a pound for the
month or March, the highest whole
sale price for an entire month but
ter ever sold for in this county.
Manager J. W. Blckford informs us
he always pays for butter fat with
in 2 cents, of the wholesale price of
butter, so the farmers who sell him
butter fat will receive checks for

pound,
April Shower and Cream Separators.
If you intend to purchaso a sep
arator it is now high time for you
to do so. With the coming of April
showers, green pauros, and all that
warm spring days bring with them
in a dairy way, you will find a sopa
rator the best Investment you ever
"made after a few dyas' use.
With the big milk flow that Is sure
to come during -the next few months
the separator will almost pay for
Itself be'ore August In the saving
of butter fat alone, to say nothing
of the profits yoa will make fro.-n
having the fresh, warm separator
skim-milk for the young calves and
pigs, and the time and labor that the
separator will save everyone about
-ue farm during the busy spring
days. Every day you art without a
cream separator means just so much
money lost. Look up or phone
E..terprlse Camery company, the
Pe Laval agent, at once, or write
for a catalogue and any other desired
information.

BIG CROPS VALUE
MEAL MILL WOULD STOP WASTE
AND HELP THE STOCK
INDUSTRY.
There are thousands of tons of al
falfa going to waste In the valley
and we do not leilize It. Alfalfa
ed to animals Is largely wasted un
ess ground to a meil. A mill that
vill grind twenty to.is a day would
je soon running to Its full capacity
md then be behind with its 6rder3.
ho meal is the best hog fattening

nen estimated to be equal to corn

joncernlng the cost of a mill. A
jonipany can be organized and our
ilfalfa which is the equal of any in
he state given additional value as
i food product.
To grind alfa'.fa requires consid
srable power, but we have plenty of
water power, and we should utilize
t to manufacture oar own products.
In California mills with capacity of
i hundred tons a day are running
nost of the year grinding alfalfa in
to a fattening aid leading bulk that
jieates a market for the alfalfa of
the farmer and enables the fatten
ng time of the stock raiser to be
shortened considerably. The estab
lishment of lar.e packing houses In
Portland Is going to make an enor
mous demand for Wallowa county
liogs, and an al'afa meal mill would

jnable the gentle mortgage-raising
to Portland much sooner than here
tofore. We can put up U19 mill with local
capital, run it with our mountain
water and market it all at home, fed
to our she3p, hogs, cattle and horses.
Another Big Resource.
" A La . Grande marble dealer re
ceived a car loal of marble and gran
ite, Wednesday, says the Star, to
taling In weight 44,000 pounds. The
marble came from Proctor, and the
granite from Barre, Vermont.
The marble of Wallowa county is
thought to be the best in the world,
but it has not been tested and dem
onstrated. We should endeavor to
obtain samples for exhibition In En
terprise as well as at the Seattle
fair, and then send representatives
to Vermont and endeavor to inter
eat practical qua-rymen in the de
velopment of what many think to be
the greatest natural resources of the
county.
Lease Land for Sugar Beets.

La Grande sugar factory and F. S.
Bramwell were here Tue3day night
