THE DAIRY INDUSTRY OF THE
UNITED STATES.
Is Taking On New Life and Grow
ing i'm Interest.

According to the last years book
of the Department OF Agriculture,
there are 21,72O,OOO mich cows in
the United States. and these are
worth $7O2.945.OOO.O0. The magni-
tude of the industry can perhaps
be best understood when it is con-
sidered that these cows produce
yearly about 100000, 100000
worth Of dairy products.
There is no other branch Of di-
versified agriculture so importan
to the progress of a community. The
fertility of the soil can best be
maintained by the libreal use OF
barnyard manure and the dairy herd
not only makes this possible, but
dairying is also more remunerative
than other branches of farming
when properly carried out.
Dairying has made wonderful pro-
gress since the advent of the mod
ern creamery and the consumer Of
butter has not only been benefited
by being furnished a more whole
some and palatable article of food,
but the wife in the farm home has
been relieved of the drudgery incl
dent to making butter on the farm.
Where formerly the cream was rip
ened and churned into butter under
conditions not conducive to fine
quality in the finished product and
in the majority of cases by unskil-
ed hands, now the most of the milk
or cream is delivered to a modern
creamery where conditions are suit
ed to the purpose of making butter
and the result has been a wonder
full improvement in the quality Of
our dairy products. AS the quality
has improved consumption has in
creased and the progress of dairying
has been remarkable during the past
decade.
And Farmville got into line in
time to move with the advancing
procession. Buy more cows. and
let's move to front rank.

funeral

A colored man mounted on load
of wood drove into town the other
day with two oxen pulling the load.
He looked to be supremely happy
and our hope is that he was so, but
maybe he hadn't counted the cost
and the profit Doubtless he spent
q day preparing the wood for mar
ket and then another delivering il,
and sold il for seventy-five cents.
Those two steers and that one
strong man might during those two
days have earned three times the
amount at work on the farm But
there was a commercial tinge Civ
en- to the transaction. and no doubt
this compensated for whatever los:
may have been sustained in IL.

DAirymen should Buy Phonographs.

Music has been put to a practi-
cal use on the dairy farm OF j. NJ.
Longyear, at I've Lake. The COWS
are relieved of the irksome monoto-
ny of cud chewing and milk produc-
ing by selections played on a phono-
graph.
The soothing effects, of music,
especially during the milking time,
have been found. it is said, espec-
tally successful with cows under of
ficial test. Several butter records
of the farm are credited to the mu-
sic.
Try the experiment and let u'
hear from you on the subject. The
man who sings while he works i;
the happier for it. and as the COW
can't sing it might be well to make
music for her while the milk flows
Any how the milk maid would be
the merrier.

First Wheat in oup Market.

Mir. Fred Herzick was the first
to deliver new wheat at the Farm
vile mills. The quality was fine.
Many OF our farmers are selling
their wheat at one dollar a bushel,
and a successful and prudent farm
er remarked that il was wise to take
a dollar now and not wait for next
spring with the hope Of an advance
in price
A dollar sounds good anyhow. And
when the crop has been made the
sooner it is gotten rid of at a fair
price the better.
