tested each month for butterfat by the
"Babcock test" He keeps only cows
that show profitable records at the
pail. These cows ara kept in clean
quarters, furnished pure well water to
drink and every precaution is taken
to prevent contamination of the milk.

lasses and cornmeal during the winter
months. The velvet beans, soy beans,
corn stalks and grass furnish good
grazing in the fields during the winter
months He sold $12.65 worth of dairy
products in June, 1911. He sold $128.76
in October, 1916.
Mr.. L. A. Higgins, dairyman for the
United States dairy division, deserves
much credit for the success of this
dairy. He planned the work and visits
the dairy every fifteen days and gives
full instructions which are carried out
to the letter. He and the many other
dairymen employed by the United
States dairy division are doing a great
work in the South.
Disposition of Milk.
He sells nearly all of the milk to the
female college, soda founts, and pri-
vate families. However, he purchased
separator to separate the surplus
milk. He does not make butter as he
can easily dispose of the cream OBJ
tanned from the milk that he does not
place on the market. The separator
gets all the cream of the milk, the
cream obtained is sweet and of the
highest purity and brings the top price
on the market. The warm, sweet milk
SKINNED by the use of the separator
is at once fed to calves, pigs and
poultry. Practically all of the fat has
been taken out, but the milk still con-
tains proteids; that Is, the material for
the formation Of lean flesh, blood
tendons, nerves, brain and horn.
Barnyard manure is rich in nitrogen,
phosphoric acid and potash, and may be
regarded as just so much vegetable
matter. When left exposed in thin lay
ers or small piles in the barn lot, the
rains leach out large per cent of the
soluble plant food. He allows the
horse manure to remain in the stables,
using plenty of straw for litter 1t is
kept dry and keeps with practically
no loss. He built common large ma
nure pen for the COW manure. The
rain wafer ia Oof sniff cient tO leach
through but is usually sufficient to
keep the pile moist.
Farm Poorly Drained.
A considerable area Of the farm was
poorly drained. Fortunately a small
creek crosses the farm and affords
an outlet for the water from the whole
farm. Although the fall in the bottoms
is very gradual, the water runs off
slowly after heavy rains. Tiling and
other forms of under drainage were
too expensive to be considered for the
entire farm, so fat bottom bitches
have been dug to thoroughly drain the
land. Only ten acres have been tiled.
The great problem before Mr. Wood
is to restore the fertility of his worn
out cotton farm and to make the neces-
sary money to support a family and
equip the farm while he is accomplish |
ing this much desired result. Grass is
the foundation of successful dairy
farming, and dairy farming is probably |
