It will produce anythlni: grown Id tho temperate tone, and will pay better return for lex lubor than any other locality of which we know. The Htate of Oregon, an a whole, ix adapted to the dairy Induxtry, and Wentorn and Southern Oregon are eipeclally suited for this calling. There Is plenty of green feed twelve months In the year. The dairy cow Is not confined to a limited area. Tho weather conditions are such that housing Is not necessary. Without going again Into details as to cllmatu and abundance of grceu feed, the owner of a tract of land In this valley who does not set apart a portion for hogs, overlooking Momethlng of Importance as a inoney maklug factor. It does not matter to what uses the balance of his land Is put. whether he engage In fruit growing, general farming, truck gar doulng. dairying or any other culllnc on the land.

The forest reserves so convenient to Itoguu river valley ufford- plenty of grailng facilities In the summer, and the aulmal may be winter fed with profit, where bay la grown In such ubuudunce. The shearing will bring about tho establishment of woolen mills or scouring mills, adding to tho weulth of the county and to the num ber of ItH Inhabitants. Angora goats ure valuable for clearing land and for their mohair. There are large areas of timber land adjacent to the valley. With tho marketing of the lumber these lands tho logged-off lauds. will be ready for clearing for cultivation, (loata will do a work that no other unlmal wll do and do It well. 'The raising of chickens, turkeys, ducks and gcee, particularly tho two former, Ih a mouey-maklng pro position lu the llngue river valley. One of the bulletins (sailed by tho Medford Commercial club goes Into the matter In detail and It Is sug gested that this publication be rend by Interested persons.
