The dairy farm which wonld pro-

1t would be no exaggeration to say
that a plentiful supply of pure water

dairy farming. Unfortunately, many
farmers are sorely tried for the want
of pure water, and in consequence suf-
fer much in Convenience. annoyance,
and financial loss. A constant-run-

cause for alarm or anxiety as to their

In feeding breeding ewes the chief
consideration should be securing the
best ration for the growth and deyel-
opment of the lambs. and at the same
time have the ewes in the best condi-
ton at lambing time. Cottonseed
cake should be fed only in very small
quantities. A good ration consists of
a pound of shell corn and linseed meal
mixed in the proportion of three parts
corn to one of linseed meal, together
with a little alfalfa along with the
buffalo grass. A little wheat bran
near lambing time is good and tends
to increase the milk supply.

that there should be strict enforcement

duet of the District capable of infec-

When these requirements were full

It was these and other questions that
had been agitating the farmers and pro-
ducers in that section Of Virginia with
which 1 am acquainted, some OF whom
have asked me TO say a word I'm their

committee appointed 10 not deal with
this phase Of the pure food question tn a
radical way without thoroughly inves-
tigatlng the methods employed by the
dairymen. as regulated by the Health
Department
I considered this entirely pertinent.
as IL was proposed that the committees
should make "a report within two weeks

was hardly time. in my opinion TO give
the matter thorough investigation.
Some time ago the Board of Trade dis
Cussed this question. and, while IL APP
peared that all present were ready TO
act on the question, it developed that

aware that the District authorities were
