D-4IRYING IN TILLA-
NOOK COUNTY.
What the CrealRePies Haze
Done for that Region.

State Food Commissioner H, B.
Luce recently made tour of inspec-
ton of the creameries and dairies
of Tillamook county. and the fol-
lowing article written by him con,
ceruing the trip is so full of inter-
est to our readers that we repro
duce it:
"The first dairy I found was that
ofMr. ]. M. Mills, on Wilson river,
about five miles from Tillamook.
He uses the Crystal creamer, which
consists of deep glass jars set in a
sort of cabinet, so constructed that
cold water passes continually into
it by pipes from a creek. He milks
10 COWS and makes so pounds Of
butter week.
next visited the creamery of
the Tillamook Dairy Association,
situated i'll beautiful prairie called
Fairview. 1t is owned by a Coop
erative company, of which Fred
Schomburg is president and Peter
Brant and Alex Marolf are direc-
tors. Mr.. Rogers, who formerly
managed Col. Cornelius creamery
i'll Washington county, is the but
ter maker and gives good satisfac-
ton. The butter produced for
August was Ie,447 pounds, the
product from about 400 cows, and
is, without doubt, the largest dairy
in Oregon, ] was unable to get
the number of pounds of milk it
took to make this amount of butter.
This creamery only started about
the first Of this year, and consider
ing Its present proportions, its
growth has been remarkable. This
creamery sells all its butter in Port
land, and ships two or three times
week.
The Tillamook creamery, located
in the town of Tillamook, is also a
large concern, and Is owned by
Macintosh & Hamilton, the latter
resident of Portland. The man
ager is John Bogart, a cheese and
butter maker, trained in the dairy
schools Of Canada. The daily
amount of milk used is now from
44oo to 400 pounds, The product
of cheese for about two months
was 10000 pounds, They have
been making some butter since
August IS, They make the
American cheese, and 1t is all sold
In Portland,
John Hathaway runs a private
creamery near Bay City, and L.
Parrish at Garibaldi, and Mr..
Goodspeed runs a private creamery
near Tillamook, with a No. 2
Alpha separator, and milks 25
cows, I visited none of these, but
hope to have reports from them
soon. There are also various pri-
vate dairies near the county seat,
where a deal of good butter is made
in the old way; but whenever
creameries shall be located con-
venient they will all take their
milk to them to have it manu-
featured.
George Hasler runs butter and
cheese factory in South prairie.
He makes about 20 pounds of but
ter per day, and manufactures the
skim milk into cheese. He also
makes full creams. He informed
me that his neighbors intended to
supply him with milk soon, when
he will be able to do a larger busi-
ness. He makes both Swiss and
American cheese, and has about
four tons Of cheese on hand.
DR.. Mills, Of Pleasant valley, has
a small herd Of remarkably fine
thoroughbred Jersey COWS, one of
which he brought across the CONT
nent on the railroad. One of his
COWS averages through the milking
season two pounds of butter per
day. The doctor was an army sur
geon in General Grants army, and
quit his practice in the East on ac-
count of heart trouble and settled
in Tillamook.
There are various private dair-
les in the region from Mr.. Hasler's
to DIR. Mills which / did not visit.
Thomas Leyster has 40 COWS, Mr..
Stopper &c, F. n. Lamb 30, Isaac
Quick 40, John Simmons 10. and
