THE TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT. JULY 4. 1901. Science Applied to Dairying but has never exceeded the produce of 500,000 cows. With the closing years of the century it is estimated that there is one milch cow in the United Stntes for every four persons. This makes the total number of cows about 17,500,000. They are unevenly distributed over the country, being largely concentrated in the great dairy states. Thus, Iowa leads with 1,500,000 cows, followed by New York with almost as many ; then Illinois and Pennsylvonia with about 1,000,000 each. The states having over 500,000 each are Wisconsin, Ohio, Kan sas, Missouri, Minnesota, Nebraska and Indiana. Texas is credited with 700,000 cows, but very few of them are dairy animals. In the Middle of Eastern states the milk product goes very large ly to the supply of the numerous large towns and cities. In the Central West and Northwest butter is the principal dairy product. Allowing ten cows an hour to a milker, which meats lively work, it requires the continuous service of an aruiy of 800,000 men, working ten or twelve hours a day throughout the year, to milk the cow» kept in the United States. According to these figure» compiled by the depart merit of agriculture, there are five times ns many men in the army of cow milkers as lheie are in the army of soldiers who are putting a girdle of the Uncle Sain brand of imperialism around the globe. The dairy industry is fast passing out of the category of agri>*ulturnl put suits into that of manufacture. It is now one of the principle industries run large ly on the co operative plim. The effect of the establishment of cheese and but ter factories, comparatively new in kind, is to transfer the making of butter and cheere from the farm to the factory. Originating in this country, although Real Estate Transfers. now extensively adopted in others, the general plan may be rightly called “the N. L. Knighton to W. H. H. Carv, lots American system of associated dairy« 3 and 4 of block 4, Tillamook City. ing.” It constitutes one of the notable Jane P. Patterson toN.
