Onthank A Otten Hood R-iror Oregon WOULD START A CREAMERY GOOD SIDE LIKE TO FfilTtT GROWING ( reasjrry flan ('aivaaiajr the Valley m lt. reslf aCo-ireraUre Creamery. Thna. .1 llarlfluon nf lllati a Mont., Is in the valley canvassing the business men and farmers as !to the advisability nf start mu a oo operative oieaniery in Mood liver. He ripre seucs tne Hastings luilustrlal oomna ny, ol Cblt'Hiio, who manufacture aud establish creamery plants. Mr. Thorn as nag just finished putting In creamery at Oufur, aud says that they are well pleased with the prospects at that place. There is no question as to tne pro tits of a good oieaniery In Hood Hirer. The nrioe of butter Is always high here, and the bulk of it baa to be shipped In from oreamerles In other parts of the state. It would take at least 200 oows to furnish oteam enough to keep a moderate sized plaut ruining at a pi out, and there may be some question as to whether tuere is that many oows in the valley that could lie made tributary to a cream ery, whose product could be secured for a creamery. The Mount Hood ooii n try is more interested in a prop osition of that kiud than the lower valley, as they have considerable hay and pasture laud In the upper valley that is not given up exclusively to raising fruit. However, there aie many farmers near town who keep one or more oows, and could spare more or Jobs cream, and many make tbeii own butter who would no doubt be glad to get rid of that trouble if they could got about as much for tbelr cream as for their butter after it bad been brought to market I be morbants are heartily in favoi of a creamery heie, If it can be shown that it would be operated at 'a pront. Inn sale of creamery butter Is much rd satisfactory tliau the ranch but cer, which Is of a constantly vuryine qn iiautity and quality. . Msny of the farmers of the Mount flood country ore sendiug their cream to Portland, and it la claimed tbal much better retuiua can be seouied from a creamery near at borne, savlni; the express on the cream to Portland, tin the expiess baok on the but ler, while there Is also a saving of 11 to 20 per cent in butter fat that ton goes to tbe Portland crenmeiy. lbe following advantages aie claim ed by the advocates of the co-opeia-tive creamery : Uo-operative factories are owned aud oontiolled by farmers who ftir- lsb tbe milk. From '20 to 40 farmers and business meu of tbe town each owning from $100 to $000 of the stock, combine to own a factory and ruu It on tbe prin ciple of making cows pay as much as possible. Private or individual factories are rnu on the opposite principle, viz: Big profits for tbt faotory, aud ob taining their milk from tbe farmers as cheaply as possible. Patrons of oo-onerative factories re alize from $8 to $12 per oow more.tban o tbe patrons of private creameries. ftacb patron a milk Is delivered in bis owa can or cans, and Is separately weighed and also tested, lo determine tbe quantity of butter that it con tains. Tbe cream Is immediately separated from tbe milk by running tbe whole ilk through a machine oalled a centrifugal separator." Tbe sweet skint milk ia returned at once to tbe patron free ol charge. lbe cream Is made up Into fancy huttet aud sold by the manager of tbe factory at tbe highest market price. At tbe end of each month a full set tlement is (nude with the patrons. lorn 1 to 3 cents per pound of butter made is taken out to pay tbe expense of making, acking, selling and ship ping tbe butter, as well as tbe protlU of the factory; the bnlance of the money is divided among tbe patrons in proportion to tbe amount of butter oontaiued in each one'a milk. They are convenient. Milk oan be delivered at auy time betweeu 6 and 10 o clock in tbe forenoon, to suit the convenience of patroua in warm weather, and every other day In cold weather, lleuoe milk can be hauled six mites to a butter factory as con veniently aa three miles to a obeese faotory or one mile to a depot foi shipment. No ice ii required, as it matters not bow warm the milk is de livered as long as it ia not sour. Ibey will relieve youi housewives and families of nearly one-balf of tbeii household labors by taking care of milk and the drudgery ot butter- making entirely out of tne bouses. They bring oasb every montb. sup plying the farmer with ready money for bla immediate wants, keeping him on a "pay as you go" basis, teaching him tbe true road to independence and afllaenoe, and boiidea tbe ready money, be baa produced bla own fer tilizer, the best for bis land, and is growing riob in a two-fold way. Take home-made butter from nfty different farms and you will have Uf ty different kinds. If made in a fac tory, uniform color, salting and pack ing, and will bring a much better prioe. Uutter factories get tbe farmer Into airyiog, which practically takes no fertility from tbe farm, but will al ways Improve) it. Ibere ia nothing produced on the farm that sells for more per pound tban battel. There Is no product that can be got ten to market aa cheaply as batter. If your cows give ricb milk tbe test shows it and yon are paid for ficb ilk. By tbe separator process practically all tbe cream ia taken from the milk, and all the butter obtained from the cream, by wbloh from ID to A) per cent more pounds of butter are ob tained, which sells in tbe market for much bigber prioe tban does farm- era' batter. Potatoes First Came to Ireland From America. When the Spaniards under Plzarro came to Peru, early in tbe sixteenth oentury, they tstind the potato bott) growing wild n the fields aud culti vated by tbo natttat for food. Qu lowly cominff to relish the new MauMile, lhe coisM H In toeir own language. Iwtioto, or potato, from its itwMiiutSxioo to two awaet potato, Wbiob waa ahead in ianeral cultiva tion in Spain, having wen one of the pieseuts brought to yneeu Isabella by Columbus, on bio return from his first voysgo of discovtjr to tbe uew world. Humboldt states that at the time of tbe discovery of America tbe potato was found growing wild in all tbe temperata portions of the southern oontlnent from Chilo to New Grana da, but not in Mexico. Hleronynms Cardon, a monk. Is credited with having been tbe first to introduce it fiom Peru into Spain, while Iron) Spain It waa carried into Italy, aud gradually spread Ituo other parts of continental Europe. In lb8ti potatoes weie brought from Virginia aud North Uaroliua to Ire land by the colonists sent out by Hir Walter Kalelgh, and were Urst culti vnted on Kalelgh s estate near Cork. The Irish soon developed a special londuess for the ea ulent vegetable aud made it a staple article of diet so much so that it is everywhere Known as tne irisn potato. Home authorities state that It was crought from Santa Fe, in New Mexi oo, to Uuglnud, by John Hawkins lu lu02: ''tit others claim, and apparent ly with good reason, that this was not the common potato, but the sweet no tato, and there is no evidence that it was known to any of the aborigines ol tbe Noith American coutlnetit, it i further believed that its occurence in Virginia aud Carolina waa due to an earlier introduction by the Spaniards, lu a work published lu Kj'Ji, enti tled "Ulrard's Hetbal," the potato is pictured lu a way to show that there oan be no mistake concerning its Ideutity, aud is described as follows. under tbe name of "Batata Virgin- ana, sur Virgiuianorum, vol Pop pies" (potatoes of Virginia): J. be root Is tbioke, fat and tuber ous, not muob ditloriug either in sbapo, color or taste from the com inuu potatoes (or sweet potatoes). saving from the rootea hereof are not so great nor long ; some of them as round as a ball, some oval or egge- lasbiun, some longer and others short- whicb knobbie rootes are fasten- d into the stalk with m infinite number of threddie ati ings. It (trow etb naturally in America, where it waa Urst discovered, as reported bv C. Clusius, siuoe which time I have received rootes hereof from Virginia, otherwise oalled Norembega, which grow aud prosper in my garden as in their own native oountrie. " Hut though tbe potato was a native of America aud bad been cultivated to some extent in the southern states, It was unknown In INew Knuland un til the early part of the eluhteeutb oentury, when it was Introduced from Ireland, where it had already become one of the staple articles of diet. lu tbe year 171H a company of about 120 families from then north of Ireland came to New England, and after wandering for several months In search of a home, the larger part of tbe company located in tbe southern part ot New Hampshire, at a plaoe wbloh tbey oalled Londonderry, after the principal city in the country tbey bad left. They were known as Sootob-Irish. because they and their ancestors,' who oauie from tbe adjoining portions oi Scotland, bad lived in Ireland for 100 years or more. Itut tbey were of nearly pure Scotch blood, having mixed but little with their Irish eighbora, with whom, Indeed, tbey were on anything but good terms. I lid lug themselves persecuted by their neighbors and our of favor with the fo lowers of tbe Church of Eng land, wbloh waa then the state relig ion, tbey, like tbe Puritans 100 years earlier, sought "fredotn to worship God" in a home beyond tbe sea. With tbem they brought tbe potato at a part of tbe legacy from Ireland. lbe story is told that some of them. in their wanderings, made tbelr borne for a few mouths in a neighboring township in Massachusetts. tin tbe spring tbey planted tbelr gar dens with potatoes, as they had been accustomed to do in their mother oouutry ; but hefoie the time for har vest ing tbem had oome they bad join ed theli friends in Londonderry, leav ing tbe potatoes to the fostering care of their Puritan neighbors. When the autumn came and the stalks and leaves bad withered, the Puritan seeing nothing which looked as though it could by any possibility be eaten, save tbe little round seed- balls that bung from the stalks, and apparently not having learned that the best things of life often lie below tbe surface, oaiefully harvested tbe orop of potato-balls, and strove by all tbe various methods of cooking with which they were acquainted to make tbem edible, but all to no avail. And so." snys one. ' they gave it up that those Scotch-hish had uuao- countablo tastes. "Globe-Democrat. Dedication Ceremony Was Impressive.

GETTING READY FOR FRUIT FAIR COMMITTEES MEET WITH SUCCESS Exhibit Will Have Larger Space nag Will lie Places' iuOster ofTown. Arrangements that are beins nimla by exhibitors and ofllcers of the fruit fair indicaet that more interest is bet ing takeu in the lair this year than ever liefore aud that it will eclipse all previous eitorts or this kind at Hood Klver. After looking tbe matter over care fully the executive committee of the Fair association decided to have the exhibit held in the aame place thttt it was two years ago and will (provide a laiger and better space for it than ever before. The fair building will be built up ngaiiist the Davidson building nnd extend out to Klret stieet. The selection of the Davidsun lot wag agreed on alter thinking the matter over carefully and it is thought that the fair will be far more success ful and secure a great many more i.d miMsions by having it planed lu a n u tral location If possible arrangements will he made with the (). li. it N. Co. to have daylight trainx (.topped here for a lew minutes duriuu the exhibition In or der to allow tourists and passengers the opporutnity of seeing what Hood Kiver Irult looks like when seen to aa advantage and attractive advertising; matter will also be distributed. Invitations to visit tbe fair and oards of admission will be issued to prominent people throughout tbo state and it is expected that a good mauy of those invited will attend. Gtlloers and committees, who have the work lu hand of soliciting exhib its say that they have found a willii g- uess on tbe part of growers to exhib it, but that it has been suggested tl at tbey be given a season pass, as the fruit requires a good deal of care aud attention in order to have it mitko the best display, il'his they say luo essltates having some nue constantly lu attendance and aa they are forced to go In aud out ot the fair building frequently, compelling them to pay admission, makes it cpnsiderahly more expensive. Ibey also say that it Is necessary to provide a close watch on their exhibits to keep tht in from being depleted by those who cannot resist the temptation to "swipe" Hood Klver fruit, and that with a season pass the matter could be soon arranged as to keen their ex hibits under surveillance without fan additional expense. Tbe natter will be plaoed before the executive com mittee and it Is thought thatltnuu .. be satisfactorily adjusted.' - While the premium list committee bag not yet decided the question of premiums it is expeoted that the dis play will be governetl very much by former ones. In order that thoae who have not exhibited before may have some idea of what they will be re quired of them we give below the list of premiums and winners at tbe last fair.
