4 STOCK AND DAIRY NOTES. A condensed milk factory company has been incorporated at Hillsboro, Oregon. As the exports to Asia of condensed milk equal a million dollars a year, aside from the large home con sumption, the importance of this Hills boro project is easy to see. That Yakima valley condensed milk factory, talked of for Prosser, had bet ter get started soon, or Oregon will come in ahead. There is room, how ever, for both Hillsboro and Prosser on that proposition. There are still about 1,000,000 bushels of old wheat in eastern Washington that would not net over 14 cents a bushel. Fed to hogs it would be worth 25 to 50 cents, according to the price of pork. Unfortunately there are very few hogs in that section. But why not keep the old wheat and breed the hogs to eat it up? That would pay a big in terest on the outlay. An Illinois man has a large amount of wheat which he is grinding and making into swill for hogs, and mixing with cut "roughness" for other stock, and declares that its feeding value is two to one in comparison with corn. The dairy commissioner of Minne sota seized some "filled cheeses" in St. Paul and had them shipped back to Chicago. The article looked well at first, but in the course of a couple of weeks turned green and developed millions of bacteria. —Dairy World. An eastern condensed milk company is sending- a trainload of 25 cars of con densed milk to the Pacific coast. Five cars are for the Pacific northwest, the balance for San Francisco. It repre sents 2,000,000 pounds of natural milk. —Elgin Dairy Reporter. A new comer in the London milk supply business soon discovered that all London milk has to be "dyed" to suit the London fancy. This is effected by mixing" about one teaspoonful of liquid "anotta," vegetable dye of a harmless nature, with every eight quarts of milk. In vain he explained to his London customers that the proper color of most milk is white. They insisted that his white milk was "chalk and water" and other people's "cream colored" milk was creamery, beautiful, rich and fresh. His milk was skimmed, etc., so he gave them colored milk thereafter. Eastern farmers who have been rush ing their "grass" hogs to market will want them back home before Christ mas, so says the Prairie Farmer. Keep the pigs on green feed just as long as possible, and along in Novem ber finish off on such grains as you may have on hand. THE RANCH.
