THECLEMSON DAIRY

THE CLEMSON DAIRY.
While the Legislature investigating g
committee is investigating conditions
and affairs at Clemson College /,
should not fail to look into the con-
duct ofthc College dairy, under the
direction of Prof. Hart, and render a
full report of its observations in tha,
interesting institution.
The dairy is well worthy of such
attention to all the accounts we have
oft. Its fame has already extended
far beyond the limits of the State. Its
cheese and butter products received
high commendation, and some prizes,
we believe, from the authorities at
the Atlanta Exposition. Competent
judges have pronounced its cheese
among the finest made in the United
States, and a northern visitor declar-
ed that he was paying so cents a
pound at home for butter of the same
quality as that made every day BY
Prof. Hart. AS was reported iii the
News and Courier recently, the owner
of one of the largest and finest herds
of dairy cattle in the South, north
ern man visited the College few
weeks ago for the express purpose of
employing one Of Prof. ua,t's grad.
yates to take charge of his dairy bus
mess, and was much disappointed to
learn that there were no graduates
yet. The butter of the dairy is ship
ped to Atlanta and other distant points
and finds ready sale in ,c9mpetition
a sample that was exhibited in Char
lesion last week received the highest
prize from housekee1ers and other
experts who examined and tried it.
1t was firm in texture, of golden
yellow color and of a flavor that hinlei
at clover fields and carried convic
ton Of scrupulously clean cans, pans
and churns, and Of knowledge and
skill employed in every stage of its
manipulation. Such butter is made
at the dairy every day, and one of
the most interesting facts in conncc.
ton with its making is that it is made
from milk furnished to the dairy by
the farmers generally in the neighbor-
hood of the college. What is being
done for them by the college dairy
could be done fov the farmers of any
district in the Sla:eb By a central dairy
of their own establishment. conducted
by 4 competent manager. The main
purpose of the college dairy is to
train such managers from among the
boys at the college, to direct dairies
in every part of the State to the
great advantage ofstock growers, and
the great satisfaction of consumers of
dairy products. 1t is Il pity that
every butter making farmer, and his
wife, in the State cannot visit the
college dairy and see for themselves
the products it turns out. The next
best thing to such visitations is to
make the good work of Prof. Hart
widely known, and to give him all
the support he needs in it. The Leg
islative committee can contribute
good deal to this end by investigating
this department especially, and re-
porting simply what itsecs and learns
there TO the people of the State gen
orally. 1t is an important adjunct
fthe college, is doing practical work
and work tlrat will be immensely val.
liable to the State in little while.
1t deserves official recognition and
liberal support, so thatit may not be;
crippled for means to carry on its,
work in the best way. The commit-l
tee should not lock for faults andi
shortcomings only in the management
OF the college. IL should give the
institution full credit for every sue :
cess achieved as well, and a notablcc
one is in the establishment and cons
duct of its dairy dcpartmcnt.-We
