It is learned by the Democrat this
morning that movement is on foot
in line with similar enterprises
throughout the state, and especially
with like establishments projected in
Portland, to put in operation here a
large wool securing plant to take care
of the crude woods as they come from
the shearing plants preparatory to
shipment to the eastern wooden fac
tories. says the Baker City Democrat.
Possibly the time is not just at
hand when a wooden mill can prof.
itably be established in Baker City,
but a wool securing plant is now a
necessity and the Development and

to be general in all the farm homes
we visited In some of the more
prosperous sort, however, and where
the dairies were large, the stabling
was separated by passage way which
would undoubtedly prove an advan-
tage. Most of these Dutch farm houses
seemed to me to be lacking in details
of ventilation and light. The stable
were extremely dark and so were the
living rooms and fresh air would be
hard to secure during the dark, cold
winter days.
In the little dairies that | visited
the methods of manufacture were most
primitive. AS rule wooden tubs were
used for all purposes where tin would
be considered absolutely essential with
us. Wooden ware was used for milk
ing pals, and for taking the milk from
pasture to the house and was rarely
fitted with covers. Tubs were used
instead of tin lined watts for all the
cheese work. The presses were simply
levers which were brought to bear on
the wooden moulds, the pressure being
regulated by the shifting of large
stone on the long arm of the lever
The only evidences of attempt at scien-
tific exactness were found in the
measures used for the rennet and
color used. So far as | could see pure
ly arbitrary rules were followed and !

AS a matter of course it commands
much higher price. On the other hand
Spain absorbed the lowest grades, in
Guiding the cheese defective in color
and quality.
The beautiful old town of Edam is
supplied with numerous canals which
serve as means of transportation be-
tween it and the outlying country.
Through these canals the farms for
many miles around are drained of
their milk supply and it was the usual
evening occurrence for the train of
barges loaded with foaming tubs to
be towed in to the little home diaries
located all through the town. 1t was
a common sight to see these barges
towed by the women while big man
would lie placidly in the boat.
Some of these little home diaries we
looked through and were treated with
the greatest courtesy. AS is we'll
known, during the winter the COWS
occupy the stables which are not mere
ly adjacent to the dwellings but con-
stitute a part of them. During the
summer, when the COWS are out at pas
ture. the stables are fitted up and used
as summer living rooms. In one that
we visited the box stall used as winter
quarters by the calves was nicely
furnished with rugs on the floor and
pictures on the wall and was doing
good service as a sewing room for the
women of the home Everything was
as neat and clean as water and scrub
brush could make it. If like condi-
tons are maintained during the winter
season while the COWS occupy the
stalls it must be at the cost of a
tremendous amount of labor This
method of keeping the COWS under
the same roof as the family appeared

through generations and thoroughly
tested by the experiences of time.
1t must not be understood that this
is the case among the factories which
are numerous and do large business
in the making of cheese. AS a rule |
found these establishments well fitted
with improved machinery and all the
operations carefully carried out with
due regard to scientific facts. Not
withstanding this, most of the cheese
dealers preferred the home made pro-
duct and the factory cheese was shad-
ed in price on the markets. | think
this was due more to prejudice than to
any inferiority of the cheese. Most
of the farms have established repu-
tations which are well known among
the dealers. AS a matter of fact a
more uniform quality of cheese would
naturally be found coming from a
small herd and made under the same
conditions day after day and the farm
ers we're inclined to jealousy guard
we'll established regulations and at
the same time discountenance the
work of the factories with which they
came in competition.
One of the most interesting sights
can be seen by attending one of the
regular cheese markets. These are
held in rotation between three or four
large towns which have attained the
dignity of market towns. Being too
late to attend market at Edam we
went on the following Tuesday to
Purmerend some 25 miles distant. We
took passage on a little steamer load
ed with stuff of every description for
sale and carrying a good passenger
list. We made good time along the
canal, making frequent stops at land
ings and to allow drawbridge keepers
to open the clumsy gates and collect
toll. Very little of the surrounding
country was under cultivation, hay
and pasture claiming the entire area,
while the Holstein COWS were every
where in evidence. Nor was there any
lack of thrift, as is so often found in

countries where the land is graZed,
for every foot of the soil was fully oc-
cupied except where spot was too
low for drainage and had become
marsh.
Arriving at Purmerend we found the
town given over to the joys of traffic.
The canal banks were packed with
craft of every description and as the
cattle market has been held in the
early morning the distribution of stock
had already begun. Looking over the
animals standing in rows under the
shade trees in the great market
square | was impressed by the fact
that it is true the world over that as a
rule the stock one tries to sell first is
not his best A sorrier lot of mich
COWS than these it would be hard to
find in any dairy country.
1t was my good luck to fall in with
a Hollander at this place who served
us many a good turn during the days
that followed. He happened to appear
on the scene at just the right juno
ture, when we were trying to make
our wants known to a thick-headed
hotel keeper. He had visited America
some years before with one of Smith
and Powell's importations Of Hol
stems and had remained long enough
to become fairly familiar with the
English language. Under his guidance
we understood many of the customs OF
the market day that would otherwise
have been unintelligible. 1t was a

curious sight to see pigs sold in bask-
cts. ewes with big udders led away to
add to the milk supply, garden stuff
and feed for stock piled high on the
pavement, and merchandise of every
sort in active barter. But the storm
center of the traffic was the cheese
market. 1t was located in the little
square flanked by the public build
ings. The cheese was piled up in rect
angular piles like cannon balls, each
owner having placed straw first on the
stones for protection and covered his
individual pile with a tarpaulin to
shield it from the sun. When the
old clock on the tower of the market
house rang out the hour of ten, in
jiffy each little pyramid was laid bare
