TO ENCOURAGE DAIRYING.

=. D. calver. Of the Creamery Package Co.
10 In tffis..State for that Purpose.
This Office acknowledges q very
pleasant call last Saturday from MIR. G.
III. Markham. general freight and pass
enger agents of the Southern Pacific, and
MIR. F. D. Culver. representing the
creamery package company. of Chicago.
Mr.. Culver il one of the best posted men
on dairyiHg in the United States and the
object Of his visit TO this state is to make
himself familiar with .Orsgon's needs
and possibilities in the dairy line and to
encourage to the greatest possible extent
the early development of this industry.
To this end he is being given every
assistance by Mr.. Markham. who 10 a
most persistent worker in developing
the states resources.
Oregon has grand prospects if she will
turn her attention to dairying, says Mr..
Culver. ''She has every facility for
obtaining even better results and making
more money in creameries than the
older Eastern states, where land is high
er, u here it costs more to grow feed, and
where the rigors of winter are to be
contended with"
This il an ideal dairying country, the
mild climate. the low cost Of feed, to-
gethsr with good market for butter, are
factors which make dairying profitable.
Fully one-half Of the butter sold ON Puget
Sound and shipped to Alaska 10 Eastern
butter. It is shipped to the coast at .
cost Of three cents per pound. Oregon
creamsries ought to manufacture this
butter, having everything in their favor.
An accurate statement Of the results Of
the State, Agricultural College herd in
Minnesota show that the aversge feed
cost per COW last year was 5.4 cents per
pound Of butter and the average price
realized by patrons from Gales Of butter
was IL cents per pound. The average
price obtained by patrons Of creamery
was nearly Is cents per pound, and the
feed cost was considerably less than in
Minnesota. There are over 700 cream
cries in Minnesota, and over 500 of them
are operated and owned by farmers -
cooperative creameries. In Meeker
county there srs IA creameries. and the
amount realized last year by patrons was
t250, Goo; in Steele county. with Is
creamsriss, the sum was over $500. 600.
while in Jefferson county. Wisconsin,. the
enormous sum Of $780, 600 was realised
by patrons Of creamsries in that comfy
alone.
While the Oregon Agricultural College
is doing . grand work along this and
other lines and commendable efforts are
being mads by the farmers to heed what
1t is teaching, Mr.. Culver believes more
could and should bs done by all. He
has travelled through nearly every state
in the Union in the interest of fcreameries
and much good will undoubtedly result
from his visit to Oregon.

Harry Beard, formerly leader Of the
% A G band, who left for the Philippines
with tl.e 35th infantry has written home
to his parents in Linn county giving
some of his experiences as soldier. He
says: Well, guess you have read oi
the bloody battle of San Miguel, on the
morning of December II, and how the
gallant 35th took the town. They dc
say that two Mauser bullets actually
came over our heads. With the little
skirmish-if it really deserves that
name-I think I have seen about ae
much war as there is ever here. II
there ever was any fighting over here il
is about done with. There has not been
decent scrap on the island since We
have been here. Company F went eut
scouting some time ago and one little
fight where they killed seventy-twe
insurgents. One of the soldiers who
was formerly in the band but was trans
ferred to Company F as bugler, received
special mention for bravery.

the regiment was NOT in it ut all, but we
waited there in rice field until . few
volleys were exchanged when. the firing
ceased and we marched ON. One insur-
gent was killed and three wounded. One
thing We Noticed that every house along
the road had flag OF truce and for
several miles they were all deserted.
All the firing came from the woods right
among . lot Of houses with white flags
floating from them. After this little
interruption in our march We went on,
but kept watch Of houses that had flags
Of truce ON them. When We got In sight
of the town it was the same thing.
Every house had its white flag. but we
had NO faith in them and everybody was
looking for hard fight, to begin at any
minute. We did not see any trenches,
but the band master had given orders for
every man to have his valves in good
working order. We kept marching
toward the town. and as our orders were
to march right in, We did 20 without
shot being fred. The insurgents march
ed out just before We got there, aad
escaged to the mountains. So ended the
fight before San Miguel. one Of the
bloodiess battles of history, (nit). Thus
the Thirty-fifth failed to win the glory
that time, but it was even worse for
the others. In the afternoon the Third
infantry came in and ON seeing no said.
