COOPERATION IN BUYING A PURE

A good policy for most communities
to follow in introducing heavier draft
stock is not to import mares, but to
purchase desirable draft sires. OF
course where mares can be bought al
reasonable price and of good quality
desirable ends will be attained.
That the pure-bred draft sire can be

Georgia has ideal natural conditions
for raising poultry. The absence of
the long, cold winter of the north, the
comparatively simple and inexpensive
poultry houses needed, the fact that
green food can be grown in the runs
almost all the time during the year, to-
gether with the splendid poultry mar
kets of the state, give the Georgia
poultryman a decided advantage over
their northern neighbors.
Georgia ranks sixteenth among poul-
try states in egg-production, but in the
value Of eggs, according to the census,
indicating clearly that Georgia is not
getting as much for its eggs as it
ought.
One of the ways by which Georgia
can get more for its eggs and also
more eggs from It's hens, is to use
pure bred chickens The pure breds
cost no more to keep, they grow fast
er, the eggs are more uniform in size
and color, they will lay more eggs, the

During the winter months the aver
age farmer win find more time to
test seed that he is to use for plant
ing in the spring than he will prob
ably find at any other time. OF course,
seed selection should begin in the field.
Having chosen good ears from the
best yielding stalks and keeping these
in a dry place, these ears can be test
ed with very little trouble any time
in the winter.
A box with sand in it and slight
moisture kept in a place where. it win

the grains from the ears to be tested.
Take ten grains from an ear and plant
in single row, numbering the row
and the ear so that records will not
get mixed The grains should prefer

shoot, note how many Of the rows

KEEPING UP THE MILK FLOW
And KEEPING down THE COST
By Andrew NJ soue college Agriculture

What should COW be fed? It is i'm
possible for COW to make rich milk
and elaborate it in large quantities un.
less she is properly fed. An analysis
of milk shows that it consists largely
OF water, hence the need Of succulent
foods, either grass or substitutes there
for. Milk also contains large quaint
ties Of protein. If the COW is not fed
abundantly Of food containing a high
per cent. OF this element, there will be
a great reduction in milk flow and
finally a drying up.
There are many food stuffs from
which adequate protein may be obtain
ed, but the farmer should, of course,
seek the cheapest kind that will serve
the purpose. Is it wheat bran, oats,
shorts cotton seed meal or other
food?
In the South there certainly could
be no better nor more economical
source Of protein than cotton seed

meal. It should, Of course, be fed in
connection with grass or silage, but in
the absence Of these it can be fed
with hulls or mixed hay. The writer
has known COWS to be fed on cotton
seed meal, silage, hulls and good pas
ture grass for years and maintain the
best condition and produce a large
amount Of milk rich in butter fat.
There are thousands Of farmers IN
Georgia who maintain COWS on their
lots or on their farms who are failing
to secure the best returns from them,
though they are fed expensive rations.
They are often not feeding enough pro

pensiYe a form to prove profitable. Ii
only one concentrate is to be fed, it
is infinitely better to feed cotton seed
meal to a COW at the rate of from 4
to pounds per 1,000-pound live weight
when she is giving two gallons Of milk
per day.
