DAIRY FARMING.
Our farmers have their eyes open to
the Importance of mixed farming and
to the unsurpassed advantages Of this
region for dairying and stock-growing.
Whatever question there may be as to
the capabilities Of this region for other
kinds of farming, there is 10 question as
to the admirable adaptation of the
greater part of Mobiles county for dairy
ing and raising cattle. Water is abund-
ant around the lakes and grass is VOL
derfully rank and nutritious.
We have before us an extract from
the proceedings of the Illinois Dairy
mans Association, held at Elgin, III De-
cember last, portions of which are of
great interest. One Of the speakers de-
scribed a state of things similar to ours,
and showed how dairying helped the
farmers out. He says:
In the year 1854 the prospect of the
farmers OF Northern Illinois was gloomy
indeed. Grain raising was Improbable,
and farmers asked themselves the ques-
ton, ''What shall we do?' Many ell
deavored to solve thu problem by going
farther west. realizing for their farms
hardly the cost Of their Improvements.
About this time one farmer commenced
sending the milch from his cows to
Chicago. He realized II good profit,
others followed his example, and soon
the market was Over-stOcked, and a
depreciation in prices followed. Next
in 1868, a small cheese and butter fac
tory was started, and it succeeded so
well that III 1867 others were started,
aud the business was magnified, and
now is in highly prosperous condition.
Another speaker gave an account Of
the cheese and butter trade of Elgin,
suggesting what Worthington may yet
become as the centre of a great dairy
ing interest. He said:
About 100 teams-some fine ones
with the milk of 4 like number of diaries
of:tl,e vicinity, daily traverse the streets
of Elgin, some going to the Illinois
Condensing Company's Factory, others
to the Elgin Butter Company's Fac.
tory and Still others to the railroad de.
pots. About 1000. 900 gallons of milk
last year thus found market here. bring
ing to the dairymen something over
100000 in monthly payments. Much
of this money Immediately came to the
merchants, mechanics. millers and 9th
ers in the city. The cheese and butter
manufactured from the milk founi
ready sale at remuneratiye prices at tin
board of trade here. a large trade il
milk cans, strainers, cheese watts. chess
boxes, and various other articles uset
in the dairy and in making cheese ant
butter is now centered and established
III Elgin.
Different farmers gave their expert
ence as to the profits of dairy farming
One said that some of his COWS give a
much rs 80 pounds of milk per day.
lie would take $50 acres and place s
CONS upon the land and make the cow
pay 500 per head; another said he hal
81 COWS and received 22,94o gallons o
milk for which he received $2,7S7 0S, o
$76,38 per COW.
It was also stated as fact that du
ring the year 1874, two million dollar
were paid out for dairy products in Ell
gin banks. Also that the sales OH boar
of trade March I'd, 1875, amounted
$22,9os IS.
