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

Sheep need large pasture areas.
The forest reserves so convenient to
Itoguu river valley ufford- plenty of

the aulmal may be winter fed with

ubuudunce. The shearing will bring
about tho establishment of woolen
mills or scouring mills, adding to tho

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

for clearing for cultivation, (loata

'The raising of chickens, turkeys,
