Vaudeville, La, March S.-The
lecture on dairying delivered yester-
day by j. H. Mclean, of the dairy
division, Unite States Department of
Agriculture, was well attended, both
by local dairymen and by visitors
from Lewisburg, Abita Springs, Sill
dell and Covington. He argued that
The principal needs for dairies in the
South were to supply the demand of
milk and butter, and as a means of
enriching and improving agricultural
lands. He spoke of the natural ad-
vantages especially in this immediate
vincinity, in the way of climate,
water supply and the ease with which
feed can be produced here. The
advantages to the dairymen consist
of regular employment for laborers,
a regular income and cash returns
for the projectors. He said that with
proper care a herd should increase
from so to 20 per cent per annum,
and hogs and poultry could be raised
on the skinned milk. and the value
of the fertilizer for improving the
soil was of great Importance. He
spoke at length on the conditions
requisite for success, referring parti-
cularly to having good breeds of
COWS, such as had been tested for
tuberculosis and proven free from
it, and such as had been raised where
there were no cattle ticks; to keep
ing books against every COW, as with
individuals; to grading up to the
stock; to kindness, to regular and
plentiful feeding, to the use of the
silo to furnish green feed in winter
and dry weather; to the raising OF
good calves, and to the raising OF
feed. He gave valuable information
in regard to the construction OF
silos, barns and stables, and the
scientific feeding Of dairy cows. a
great deal of interest was exhibited
by all present, especially as the frs
carload of cows bought by the Cream
cry Company had just been received
and distributed among those who ar
already in the business or who pro
pose to make the venture. Thu
creamery will be ready for business
