He is now arranging to add a hundred more as soon as they can be procured. Among his herd he has forty-five head of the celebrated Alderney, the original stock of which came from his father's place In Scotland, Ayr shire, Jersey, Pole Angus and Dur ham. Recently he added to his herd a number of fine seven-eighth breed Jersey which came from the farm of Wm. Ladd of Portland, and he Is loud In his praise of the Jersey as a dai ry cow. He says that the Durham an Pole Angus are good for beef but are of no practical worth) to milk. He contemplates as soon as possible to breed up his herd to the Jersey strain as he figures It doesn'tf cost any more to keep a good cow than it does a poor one. At present he is milking ninety five cows which produce a daily av erage of 540 pounds of cream. This he sells to the Hazelwood Creamery at Portland, the income from which Is $45 a day. The expense of mar keting the product he estimates at about $20 a day, leaving him, the neat sum of $20 a day profit. Five milkers are employed the du ties of whom, besides the milking, Is the care of the herd, stable and cans, as cleanliness Is the one main factor of the business. Here is the secret of so many failures, he says failure to observe religious cleanll ness. He says that he gave( the pat ent milkers a thorough trial and that be would not have one on the place as they have a tendency to ruin the cows.! Tn speaking of the section in the vicinity of Broadmead he said Port land parties, recently purchased a large tract of the old farm which thej have cut up into ten, tvpnty and for ty acre tracts a-d tret these are selling very rapidly. Also that the people in that vicinity have gone cra zy on fruit, one man having recently set out 3000 trees to his already large orchard. Crops in the vicinity of Broad mead, he says, . are looking exceed ing well and that they will be up to the average.

They went from here to Portland from where they intend to ship by boat to Kelso, Washington, on account of the mud which is re ported to be very bad between those points.
