and mortgages have taken their
places at the rear, while dairy
herds, fine homes, and fat bank
accounts have now taken their
places in the front ranks. It now
requires FIVE banks to handle the
farmers money in Washington
county. He says in the East the
land has been farmed to death;
in the middle states the same
thing has been done and now the
glorious West is being s'skim-
med y
Stand by the farm, don't let
the eastern people have your
farm, and you go to town where
YOU think you will better yonr

of today who owns a farm is a
tprince. The West is going. to
lbe the grandest agricultural
country on earth. Portland will
be the greatest city in the world.
Nitrogen that Eastern farmers
pay S. cents per ponnd for, we
may have here by growing legu-
mes. Grow more vetches and more
alfalfa. Whether for dairy or
other purposes keep the best; it
costs no more to keep a thor
oughbred COW, sheep, goat or
hog, than it does scrub. He
linvokes every farmer to indentify
himself with the grange. The
doctor has been a granger for 80
years and is well aware that the
grange has been instrumental
in securing state legislation in
behalf OF the farmer. The doctor
fsaid in conclusion that as stock
land dairy country there was a
bright future for Alsea.
| Mr.. VIM Shulmerick was next
introduced as one Of the best
posted practical dairyman IN the
Estate. This gentleman told us
THAT the first and most important
Thing to do in beginning the
dairy business IS 10 select your
cows; use only the best, Gull ont
others. The only way to do this
properly is by testing their milk
with the Babcock Tester. When
| this been done the next step of
importance is to select a good
sire. Don't be afraid of paving
to much for him, but get the
best that is to be had. The first
six of his offspring will pay for
| the investment. Dairy cows
lshould have the best of care,
where there is herd over-fed
there are 90 that are under-fed.
Never leave dairy cow out in
la fence corner in a storm, with a
Ihump in her back. He told of a
dairyman in the Bandon country
who kept bull dog to hold his
COWS while he MIXED, but did
not advise that practice. You
may feed for quantity but you
] must breed for quality. Mr..
|Schulmefich is of the impression

that the silo may be abandoned,
