COW FEED $40 LESS A
YEAR IN THE SOUTH.
Progressive Farmer.)


While the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture figures that it
costs $45 per year to feed a dairy
cow the Georgia Experiment Station
selected four herds in different sec
tons of the state and had the owners
keep exact record of all feed. They
found that it cost $50 per COW, and
this can be cut down, for very little

There is no better market for dairy
products than our Southern cities.
The twenty-fourth report of the Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture
says that fifty Southern cities use an
nually $22,957,S82 worth of Northern
and Western dairy products, and we
can produce it ON our own farms
cheaper than they can on theirs.
Butter takes practically nothing
from the soil, and when we feed cot
ton seed meal with our homegrown
feeds we put back into the soil in the
manure far more than is taken out
by hay and corn as feed for the cows.
We have been dairying on our farm
seven years. We have a very neat
dairy barn to hold twenty COWS, with
cement floor, stanchions, etc, a silo,
dairy house and a herd of pure
bred COWS. We have not invested a
cent in these improvements except
what the COWS have earned for us.
Our farm is easily producing one bale
OF cotton per acre without the use
of any commercial fertilizer except
potash and phosphoric acid, where
it originally produced not more than
one-ha1f bale with complete fertilizer

Osteopathy now has the official
sanction of the state as a regular
branch of the medical profession. The
fight against it by the other schools of
medicine was hardly to their credit.
Osteopathy, like homeopathy and the
allopathic school, must stand on it's
own bottom and will be approved or
disapproved according to the results
achieved. The day has passed when
one school of medical thought could
legally ostracize others in this or any
