rdlSt, WdDI 10 put particular SlTtss
upon the silo rs one of the most
important factors in good'feeding.
Not only is it adapted to dairy cat
tie, but beef cattle as we'll. No
farmer that has as ten head of COWS
can afford to be without a silo.
Some may think that the Discus
sion. of silos is not necessary in
Tennessee, bat last summer found
men who did not even know what
silage was. No cheaper or better
feed can be had than silage.
Eight Southern States have or
ganized forces for giving special
aid and instruction along all lines
of dairying to theirfarmers. These
agencies assist the farmers on their
own farms in building silos, fur
nish them plans for dairy buildings
of all kinds, teach them how to
keep records of their COWS, to make
better butter and feed the COWS
properly, and assist them with any
special problems that arise con-
cerning dairying.
Other things before mentioned
have dealt with farmers already
interested in dairying, but South
Carolina has started some work in
rural school for the benefit of
children. Scales and record sheets
are loaned to pupils, and they keep
the weights of the milk and feeds
of their fathers COWS for certain
period and bring them to school,
where they are taught how to COM
pute the value of milk, the cost of
the feed, and from these the profit
or loss of the cows.
This line of work seems little
far-fetched in program Of dairy
instruction, but | believe when we
get the children Of the farms to see
that something can be made from
cows, many of them will be attract
ed to dairying as at least side1ine
to their future farming operations
Bat, even il this is never done, cer-
tainly there is great need for i'm
provement in the method of hand
ling COWS and their product on the
average farm. [ once met farm
er who told me he MIXED twelve
COWS and got only three gallons of
milk a day. Certainly the task of
milking these COWS twice day
with so little return is enough to
discourage anybody, not only with
dairying, bat with anything that
pertains to cattle. There are thou
sands of people living in cities who
keep only one cow that will pro-
dace more than the twelve owned
by this man. Better COWS must be
had if keeping them, even for fam.
lily use is made as common as it
should be.
The advent of the boil weevil
and the low production of cotton
in the cotton belt are causing many
sections to take an interest in all
forms of live stock, and there are
many States that are manitesting
such an interest it will only be a
short time until Tennessee will
have keen competition, and unless
same Of the methods for the i'm
prove of dairy conditions are prac-
ticed intelligently, she will take a
second place in dairying IN the
Southern States.

loHCl oOuJi hS DcluS IultuC "u-
vanced along dairy and live stock
lines than themselves, and some
people regard Tennessee as the
Mecca of good cows. Natural con-
ditions make the State superior in
some respects to others near by for
dairying, but, with all due appre-
citation of the progress Tennessee
has made, some. of these States are
practicing methods which this
State would do. we'll to imitate-in
fact, must imitate-if 1t progresses
as it should.
Poor COWS are the bane Of dairy
ing the world over, and any section
that is not fighting this evil sys-
tematically is sacrificing great pro-
fits and harboring Encouragement
for it's dairymen An evil without
remedy is a condition which
should not be mentioned, but for
the poor cow evil we have the
scales, the Babcock tester and the
record sheets, which. il intelligent
ly used, are q specific, and it is so
simple that any farmer who can
read and write can use it effective
ly. In sections where dairying is
not practiced extensively individu-
al farmers are compelled to do their
own record work, and this is what
every farmer should do; but, since
many will not take the trouble, a
plan has been borrowed from Den
mark whereby the farmers can hire
this work done. The plan is call
ed"Cow Testing Association" and
simply means that number OF
farmers combine and employ man
to visit their places monthly and
keep their records for them, and
each man pays in proportion to the
number of COWS he keeps.
When talking of getting rid of
poor COWS, it is inferred that better
ones will take their places, and
this necessitates raising them.
Good COWS are SO, scarce and their
production SO unreliable that rails
ing is the cheapest and only relia-
BILE practicable plan within reach
of the average farmer. Most ina
portant in this consideration is the
bull.
It is fact that a large nnmber
of the best bulls in the country are
slaughtered before their real value
is known. prevent in-breeding
they are sold to butchers before
their daughters come into milk, and
thus have no chance to- prove their
worth. This condition costs the
dairy industry thousands OF dollars
annually, and it is one that can and
should be remedied. County live
stock associations, dairy organiza.
tions and other farmers institu.
tions could keep bulletin board
Of available bulls, and at the meet.
ings of these organizations dairy
men could get together and effect
changes which would give to each
party new blood for the small cost
of transporting the animal from
one farm to the other.
One of the Southern States is
forming bull associations in dairy
communities. In such cases q
number Of farmers join the associa-
tion and assess themselves for the
purpose Of buying the number OF
bulls needed for the community
A competent committee purchases
the bulls, prescribes regulations fol
handlingthem and distributes them
TO- the best advantage in the vari-
ous sections interested. After the
bull has been in a place two years
he is exchanged for that of another
section, thus giving each commun-
itv new blood at no additional cost
