Sd. Pine straw bids fair to solve the bagging
question, and it is well that attention has been
directed to the matter by the jute bagging
combination. Blessings sometimes come in
disguise. Cotton is too dear substance to
manufacture into tagging. Bagging is tore,
and IS lost to the farmer, unless after being
taken from the bale it can be sold for some
thing like its original value. But this will not
be the case. Tie covering of bag Of cotton
is too much injured aud defaced before it
reaches the factories, to bring any thing like
its first value.
Scott jerks, Adams, Mass: Why could not the
dairy question: which is being agitated in some
Parts OF the south, be solved in very inexpensive
manner by few prolnient men clubbing together
ana stocking up with hundred or more COWS and
then sending north for cheese maker, and letting
him bring all necessary machinery for cheese
making, which during five or six months in the
winter is not in use in the factories at the north
The whole apparatus could be shipped south and set
up In any suitable building at a small cost and at
the END OF ii or six months, If the experiment has
not proved satisfactory the cheese maker could re-
ship his machinery and have it back home and
ready to commence spring work by the first OF May
But II the business should prove success then
sniiabie buildings could be erected and machinery
purchased, and the business could be carried on in
proper manner. will state that winter dairying
In the south would be far more printable than sum-
mer dairyng, and the cows at the south are better
adapted for cheese than butter making at the
present time. Dairy farming would bring into the
county very desirable class of inhabitants 1t
would greatly enhance the value of land and make
home market for your grain; and by supplying the
home markets with butter and cheese, would keep
the money at home which Is now sent north for
these indispensable articles. will be glad to give
further information to any one desiring the same.
Now that enSilage solves the problem of
feeding cattle cheaply through the winter it
is very desirable that dairying should be
developed much more extensively through the
south. Heat and the costliness of ice render
the making of butter and cheese rather diff
cult in summer; but there is no trouble in
making these articles in winter Il the milk can
be had. With ensilage, there need DO no diff
Guilty on this point.
