MAKING CHEAP MILK AND BUTTER.
Farmers May Save Much Money by Using Shredded
Slower Instead of Timothy Hay and Cottonseed
Meal Instead of Bran.

Messrs. Editors: Large amounts of timothy
hay often fed to dairy COWS because it is
thought to be a very rich and nourishing food
stuff, but in experiments made with twenty-four
at the Station last winter, it would seem
that shredded stover, when well made and pre-
served, often be used to replace the timothy
hay to advantage. As timothy hay brings from
ded stover is practically waste product the
farm, the economy of utilizing the latter is ap-
parent to ALL
There is another question of more than passing
interest to the dairyman, and that is the balanc-
ing UP of his ration with some concentrate rich
in protein Gluten meal and cotton seed meal
were fed on the basis of the content of digestble
protein for this purpose and provided the market
price is the same per pound of digestible pro-
tein, there is little to choose between the two,
except that the gluten meal not readily
eaten by the COWS, and it made the butter tat
soft; whereas, cotton seed meal was readily eaten
and increases the melting point of butter, which
gives it decided advantage for feeding in sum-
These results show that the proper basis of
comparing foodstutfs is according to the amount
of digestble protein they contain. 1t is thus ar-
parent that farmers often make the mistake of
feeding wheat bran, which contains only twelve
per cent of digestible protein compared with
cotton seed meal which, when pure, contains
312 per cent of digestible protein. AS cotton
seed meal and wheat bran often be bought
at practically the same price, the farmer who
buys wheat bran pays three times much for
the digestible protein contained the farmer
who utilities cotton seed meal.

Nv Dear Mr.. Subscriber: Will you not please
consider this very personal letter, my dear Mr.
Subscriber, you whose name appears on the lit
tie red slip at the top of this page-you, one of
the members of the big Progressive Farmer Fam
ily!
For as a member of The Family, wish to take
five minutes of your time to talk about matter
that concerns us both, and concerns us both very
vtally.
And what we wish to talk about is building up
your parer-your paper, please, not my paper.
! certainly hope that you feel as Southern TAR
mer that it is your paper-made especially tor
YOU, and here with no other mission on earth
than to look after your interests, to build up
Southern farming and ennoble Southern farm
life
And your paper, sir, ought to have more sub
scribers-twice as many as it has. The Progress
sve Farmer Family ought to be bigger-twice as
big as it is
And that, if you please, is just what we are
going to dove going to double the member
ship of The Progressive Farmer Family, and we
want your help. The Progressive Farmer will
be twenty years old next year and we are
going to have 10000 subscribers before the year
ends Just "obleeged" to do it-iust like we told
you year ago, you remember, IndI Irer 1eaDolt
was obleeged to climb the tree:-Uncle Remus
telling the Little Boy of one of Brer Rabbits
hair-breadths escapes The pursuer was almost
upon Mr. Cottontail and in another moment
might have him in his grasp. "And right then
Brer Rabbit he clumb a tree" said Uncle Remus.
"But rabbits can't climb trees" protested the
Little Boy.
Never mind" replied the old darkey, "Brer
Rabbit this time was obleeged-jest obleeged-to
climb the tree-en' he clumb it."
We said last year that we were "obleeged> to
get 1000 more subscribers before the following
February.
And We got 'em.
We say now that we are "obleeged" to get TO-
900 more subscribers in the next twelve months
And We are going to get 'em.
We young yet, The Progressive Farmer IS
and in our bright lexicon there is no such word
as fail. We have doubled our circulation In elgh-
teen months and we are going to double it again
in the next eighteen.
How do we know?
Because you are going to helr-like all the rest
OF the members of The Progressive Farmer Fam
lily. And you are going to do it because we are
making the very best paper printed anywhere tol

We are cutting and curing pea-vine hay. l cut
after the dew is off, let lie two days and stack on
frames. Seeing the necessity for cover crop,
I disk harrow and SOW to crimson clover. When
the peas are abundant shall pick off some for
seed before cutting.
Have just ploughed out my peach orchard and
sown to crimson clover. This I will use for
poultry run during winter and spring: When it
heads in May will plough under for the trees
Have just sown to Scotch kale tor
early spring market; if there is no market it will
be fine to cook for the stock
Peanuts are nearly ready to dig, but to dig
too early will be fatal mistake; don't dig until
the skin on kernel is red. This can be told by
the leaves. When the leaves fall around the
crown they are ready. If drug before this stage
no kind of care in handling will make salable
peanuts They must be fully matured or they
will black in the stacks and be of little value
