The prosperity Of the dairy farmer
is easily explained. Instead Of sell
Ing the fertility off his land in the form
OF crops, he feeds 1t to his dairy cows
at good prices and returns It to the
land. This is enabling many Missis.
sippi farmers to cut out the credt sys.
tenn and run their farms on a strictly
cash basis.
How many cows to keep depends, &C.
cording to Mr.. Higgins, on the amount
OF hay. silage, and other roughage pro.
duced on the farm. II there is enough
for five cows, a small separator can be
put in at home. and the fresh skim
milk used for calves and pigs.
The number OF creameries N the
state is being increased as fast as the
number OF cows in a territory Justify
them. AS between 400 and 600 cows
are necessary for the operation of q
creamery, many farmers are finding
1t advantageous to put in a few cows
and ship cream some distance while
waiting for their locality to develop
sufficient dairy herds to supply a local
