LANE COUNTY, OREGON
Bountiful Fields,
And a Salubrious Climate combine to Make It
the Garden of the West.
Lane County.
Lane county extends from the summit
of the Cascades to the Pacific Ocean. In
size it is about five times as large as
Rhode Island or Connecticut. It fronts
on the Facific a distance of thirty miles,
with a splendid harbor at the city of
Florence. It occupies every altitude
from tbe ocean beach to the glazier
crowned summit of the "Three Sisters"
at the southeastern cornerof the county.
The Coast Ranire cuts it in two from
north to south.
Lane county is half prairie land, with
very rich soil, producing abundant crops
of grain, hay, fruit and vegetables, and
half hill and upland. The table-lands
bordering the valleys are partly covered
with timber or brush, most of it being
open enough for tino pasturage. These
lands are fertile and yield abundant
crops when cultivated. Kvery crop that
grows iu the Willamette Valley glows
in l.ane county. All the farms are sup
plied from naiural sources with the best
of water. The immense timber wealth,
aggregating nearly 2000,000,000 feet, is
just beginning to receive attention. No
county in the United States has as large
an amount of timber as Lane. The fa
mous Bohemia mining district, destined
to become the Cripple Creek of Oregon,
lies partly in Lane county.
The population of Lane county is
about 22,000, all white. The county is
rapidly adding to its population desir
able immigrants from the Fasttrn
States. Kug?ne, 14 miles south of Junc
tion City, with a population of 5,000, is
the county seat.
The following is a summary of the
productions of Lane county for i'JOO:

Fruit has been grown in Oregon for 10

aid and information, through the Hoard
of Horticulture and the Corvailis Agri
cultural College. No one need longer
fail through ignorance of proper meth

STOCK RAISING.
Lane county is fast becoming one of
the great cattle producing counties in
the State. The mild winters.the fact that
native grasses remain green during the
year, and the ease with which cultivated
grasses can be raised make it an excel
lent country for every kind of stock.
The general practice of Lane county
farmers is to provide fodder for only a
small part of the year, during the bal
ance of which the stock roam nt large.
Running water is abundant, ami stock
docs not lack water in the driest season.
The largest owners of horned stock are
improving greatly bv infusing fine blood
into their herds. There are numerous
breeders of Shorthorns, Galloways,
Polled Angus, Ayrshire, Hereford,
Holsteins, Devons, Aldernevs and Jer
seys in the Willamette Valley. The
large introduction of tine blod into the
cattle herds of this section has greatly
increased their value and the profit of
the business.
THE ANGORA GOAT.
During the past ten years a number of
our active farmers have lieen introduc
ing the Angora goat ino Lane county,
especially in the foot-hill country,
Theso thrifty farmers had but one object
in view at the time these goats were
purchased, and that was to clear np their
farms at small expense. They bought
the goat for his work and not for his
wool. During the past five years, how
ever, there has been a great revolution
iu the goat industry. Manufacturers
are beginning to discover the many ad
vantages and sjecial qualities of mohair.
Numerous desirable and elegant fabrics
are n w being made from this wool, and
it has been found that the goods are ex
eeedirulv lice and durable. Another
special fealuin of thisKoodd t'':'t ll
much more free from tin? attacks of
mollis than goods made irwiu sheep's
vol. For this reason, it is said thtt
the major portion of the valuable up
holstery r.ow used in railway car, is
made of goat's wool.
The entire number of Angora gc.it. in
Lane county today will probably not
exceed ti.OOO head. When we come to
consider the vast area of good brush
country in this county, so welt adapted
to goat grazing, we can readily ue that,
instead of the small number now kept,
we could keep to advantage hundreds
of thousands of goats in J.nne county
alone and keep them well. We are
j-pcskir.g now more wirticulnrly as to
the value of their wool and increase
ai.d rf tho pr.f.ts H at are bound to oc-
; cur by continuous and thrifty care ol
i th-do'inc.itic gxit. As to their adapt
ability to our climato there is no ones
tivii. and as to the numerous advantages
iri.-iir.' from raising to.Ms. this has beeii
horoiiil.l and satisfactorily settled

DAIRYING.
As ft dairying section Lane county
possesses many advantages. Onuses of
all kinds, both native and cultivated,
grow In luxuriance. Cattle have to de
pend but little upon hay, since the
warm rains, from early in the fall to late
in the spring, keep the grass growing.
Even in the dry summer season grass
remains fresh and green iu the mead
ows along river and creek Itottoma and
in tho mountain valleys. Timothy ie
the leading eras, but white and red
clover make remarkable growths, espe
cially the-former, which springs up
spontaneously on the hills wherever the
destruction of trees and underbrush
gives it an opportunity. The natural
grasses, the cool summer breezes blow
ing in from the Pacific, unfailing water
supply, tho luxurianco'with which thw
clovers aud roots thrive, combine to
make I.aue county the ideal home of the
