UNIFORM BILL OF LADING.
The Southern Railway Company Has
Issued the following General Bull
letin.

Please be advised that It has been
determined not to put the new uni
form bill Of lading into use at points
on the Southern Railway until Jan
uary /.
1t Is our intention to use the bill
OF lading approved by the Interstate
Commerce Commission at all points on
Southern Railway from and after Jam
uary 1.
An effort Is now being made by in
terestsN representing the water and rail
routes to bring about some slight mod
ification In the terms Of the so-called
uniform bill Of lading necessary to
its application to water and rail traf-
fic, and some other slight modification
to meet certain local conditions.
None of'these proposed changes ma
terially affects the terms approved by
the commission.
We shall be very glad to see this ef-
fort succeed. and in the event of its
success, It will be the purpose of the
Southern Railway to incorporate the
changes In It's bill Of lading.

Farmers Bulletin No. Is, u. S. De-

The COW requires not only mate
rials for maintenance. but must also
have protein fat and carbohydrates

tains water. fat, protein (casein, or
curd). sugar and ash, and these are
all made from the constituents Of the
food. If insufficient protein fat and
carbohydrates are contained in the
food given her, the COW supplies this
deficiency for time by drawing on
her own body, and gradually begins
to shrink In quantity and quality OF
milk, or both. The stingy feeder
cheats himself as we'll as the COW.
She may suffer from hunger. al
though her belly Is full OF swale hay,
but she also becomes poor and does
not yield the milk and butter she
should. Her milk glands are a won
derful machine. but they cannot make
milk casein (curd) out Of the con-
stituents. in coarse, unappetizing, in
degistable swale hay or sawdust any
more than the farmer himself can
make butter from skim milk. She
must not only have a generous supply
OF good food. but it must contain
sufficient amount Of the nutrients
needed for making milk. Cotton
seed meal Is the greatest protein food
obtainable In the South. Until this
fact is understood and appreciated.
successful, profitable dairying Is out
OF the question.
Many forccip'o illustrations OF it's
truthfulness have been furnished by
