R.R0QERS' TALK ad cf Big Condensed Milk Pbr.t at Hillsboro on Keeping Cows and Dairying a Great Dairy State C-t Needs Developing Along That Line fr. Thiers, the head of the big tf d milk plant at Hillsboro cut an interview to the Inde- d;it In which be says: Tt ore are not nearly enough In Washington county to ) the plant supplied, but ex er.:ln othor sections haaproy bz. the demand will create the "f. One cow supplies about ioundi of milk a day for about days in the year. This means , the' factory will absorb the luct Of GOOD cows. How surely existence of a steady demand tulutes th supply is shown by experience of tho factory which lilt at Lansing, Mich., 20 years At lfat time it could not get ) pounds a day, but for the last m years it has ) een ablo to get QUO and now it can got a quar of a million pounds a day. cocat'y around Hillsboro will jort plenty of cows to supply factory if the farmers will only Cr ated up to it. ri ' 1 factory will employ from jTi people when running to '.'1 capacity. About 10 per t." hem will be skilled at the . ! .t in course of time all will skilled. It is necessary to Sable people in a place of i, for there is a certain t of milk coming in every e cared for and you cannot or 12 people lying off when they want to take a holiday; you must bo able to depend on them frnm tlav to dav. Thev must also j j be scrupulously clean. I have seen irlrla solder cans all day with white n - inrnm on aud never scat a spot on them." "Oregon is a good dairy state, but its resources in that direction T not full developed, owioe to the lirnnranoe of the farmers. I was .n raised on a dairy farm and can go almost to any farm in the Willam ette Valley and make it raise 3J tiro e as much as its owner does." "I would prepare for dairying by building a first-class residence, barns and fences. I would have plenty of light and ventilation in the barns and keep them clean un der all circumstances. Cleanliness is the first consideration on a dairy farm. I.would thoroughly drain it by tile drainago if necessary. I would havo a supply of fresh, pure water under all circumstances. About 87 per cent ol pure milk is water, and if you give your cows water from a stagnant pool that is covered with green Blime and re ceives all the surface drainage of the field, what sort of milk can you expect? I would not feed silo to the cow". A woman who is nurs- ing a uaoy aoss not cai picatcs, because it sours her milk, yet a farmer feeds his cows silo which may bo sour and may have the same effect on their milk. Then J would find the properties of differ ent kinds of feed grown in tnis state and decido which wero the best to raise. I do not know enough of Oregon to say just what thev would be but the feed of cows should always be something not deleterious to their milk in taste or odor. ' "Keep the barns clean, so that the cows do not get covered with manure, for some of it will got into the milk and spoil it Lay stones around their drinking places, bo; that ther'wlll not wallow in mud, and gravel the road. It will all tell in the quality of the milk and pay well in the end." Hatred City of Lhaasn,. Very little of the world remains unknown. Thibet will soon be as well known as China, the sacred cityofLhassa as little of a mys tery as Peking. A Russian travel er. M. Tsybikoff, has communi cated to the Geographical Society of St. Petersburg a pretty full ac count of Lhsssa, where he stayed for oyer twelve months being an Oriental scholar and professedly a Lamite by religion. He found the land far less populous than is com monly supposed, and a large pro portion of its people monks. Lhas- ft, ho reports, has no more than 10,000 inhabitants, and two-thirds of these are women. M, Tsybikofl made a great number of observa tions on the climate of Thibet, and has brought away several Thibetan books on philosophy, medicine, astronomy and history, besides col lections of prayers and incanta tions, written by renowned lamas. The latter departments are much more in the way of Thibetans than philosophy and science. London I'elegraph. Itch ICinjrwnrm. Chamberlain's Stomach and iv- er Tablets.
