Please remember that these lambs

from the storms Of winter, had the
same intelligent management and
supervision that any good stock
should have. The colored man who
looked after the sheep was paid 81

also looked after the other farm
stock. MIXED the cows, cut the wood

An Alabama Creamery.

Messrs. Editors: In The Progress

I read Mr.. Poe's article on Wiscon-
sin creameries and the one-crop
method with considerable interest,
from the fact that We have just be-
gun to operate a creamery here In

lily increasing patronage which
threatens to overtax the capacity
OF the plant before fall. Another
very gratifying thing Is. Mr.. Hartsell
is able to find ready market for
his product and at such price that
he is paying 80 cents per pound for

While the farmers have as yet not
improved their herds and are de-
pending on the piney-woods stock

$40 per hundred for their milk

A gentleman In tidewater Virginia

farm he raises fine crops OF corn,
potatoes and peanuts. for his prin-
cipal money crops: also number
of smaller crops for home consump-
ton and for the local markets. He
also has cattle. hogs and poultry. A
year or SO ago he concluded to try
sheep. making the early lamb a spe-
cial feature. Last summer, 1909, he

lambs as he had ewes. The last
week In December he commenced to
ship his lambs to New York on a
special contract. sending them at ten
