and biiMlncHrt men.
The Examiner haa Imhii favored
with the following notes benriug on
thin queatlon by Mr. Uolcotnb:
The dairy gectioni are the moat
pronperotiB of any today. There ia no
failure la the butter and cbenae jrop,
There la no creamery In the state
that can supply the demand to day.
Dairyiun aud farmiug works well
together.
A good creamery will iucreaae the
valuation of every foot of laud and
every busiueas surrouudiug It.
It would not take many cowa to
supply GOO pounds of butter per day.
This would me n a pay roll of 1M)
per day, M.uOO per mouth, $51,000 per
year.
Lakevlew with its aurreuudioK
country should double this amount
the Brat year, as cream can be success
fully haudled for a distance of 15 to
18 miles.
The average dairy cow will pay from
150 to 100 pei mouth. That Is aa much
as a beef steer Is worth, aud you have
your cow left.
One cents worth of oil meal added
to your skim milk is just as beneficial
to a calf as a pound of butter fat aud
a pound of butter tat Is worth H5c.
An average oow will give milk 10
months. Four months id loug enough
to feed a calf milk, this leaves you
tlx mouths nilik for futteolug bogs.

hundred acres? Both tra its are well
cultivated ; both exovileut soil; both
are three miles from North Yamhill;
both have beeu cropped for 13 years
past. But the thirteen acres with less

10 years, two hundred acres, graiu.
Any limit here for grain raisers? liu,

whom is the timber in the Bly
country being pucrhaaed? This is the
question that has been agitating a
goodly portion ot the population of
this aud Lake comities. For the
past several weeks Albert Walker has
been taking options ou every acre of
merchantable timber that he cuu d
secure in the Bly country and has
beeu agreeing to pay a g- od price per
claim, going as high, it is reported,
on reliable authority as l.50 per
thousand. He absolutely refuses to
divulge the name ot the parties for
