SCIENTIFIC FARMING.

Or April 14th l went over the Hot Springs road 10 Tunnah's road house at the county line There was large new bungalow just nearing compile ton then just this side of the road house Today. August g. as l went over this same road I saw at the eleY- en mile post q large new building and thought I was reaching the county line sooner than l expected. but it was an- other building started since my for mer trip.
 II is a large. red dairy barn, being built by the Terry Dairy Company, of Little Rock. have seen one or more of fheir stations at other points and know that they make success Of them. This barn is 34xf04 feet, has 4 re-enforced hip roof over loft that wiI hold from fifty to twenty car loads. The ground floor is Of concrete and so constructed as to save all the liquid fertilizer which will drain off Into q concrete storage tank
 They make speciality of saving their manure They own 100 acres. mostly Fourche creek bottom land and have just leased 100 acres of bottom land from J. L. Bomar and by using fertilizer expect fo raise as much feed after pasturing their cattle seven months each year as others raise on thousand acres or more. They have a carrier that runs on steel track that WI dump the manure into wag- on on the outside of the barn and fIiere will be nothing 10 do. but drive fl out or to the land as the distTibu for will acatter it. On tbis same track will be carrier which will take the milk to the milk house direct from the milkers. There are forty stalls for COWS. four young stock pens, six calf pens, two COW pens and one bull pen These are not separated by tight lumber partitions, but are mace Of iron pipes. Stanehions and all are of the best made and the only wood used is some strips one-half inch thick fo protect the cows neeks in the atanciion There is hallway be tween the stalls and pens for feeding There is one seventy-fiye ton silo completed with feed room and an other one will be built opposite it la ter of same capacity.
 The milk house like the barn is the last word in sanitary dairy equipment as.g i1rth oro ar,,aI fo ap,-tl,s,,e, found in the Northern States and is some lining new for Arkansas. Ii contains a refrigerating room, wash room, boiler room, etc Ii will be used as buy ing station and will encourage the neighboring farmers to enter the dairy business oil q more extensive scale They will sell them feed at cost, but their idea is that the farmers should raise their own feed G. w Bullock. the oyerseer, says they should on their two hundred acres of land raise all thelr feed by scientific use of their aarn manure Neighboring farmers have looked upon it as a small 100- acre farm. but when they examine this large sS,000 barn they will probably conclude that it is large manufac- tory.
 They have one hundred and twenty seven high-grade Jersey cows and will continue to grade them I'D by using two full blood bulls As soon as the country is freed of ticks (probably this winter) they will import herd Of pure bred Holsteins
 About four months ago they bought forty runty pigs. knowing that but ternilk would fatten them. They are now fat and fit for the butcher, weigh ing from 150 to 200 lbs. Hog raising Is one of the by-products of dairying and the returns from it alone is al- most enough to make profit on the dairy business. These hogs were turned into a small pasture and fed nothing but buttermilk. As they in crease their dairy they will fatten more hogs, kepping enough to eat all their surplus buttermilk
