WHY DO YOU KEEP cows?
Pertinent Questions Asked Farmers
BY state Livestock Specialist.

The dairyman keeps cows to con
vert the cheap roughage of his farm
into milk and butter to sell, and into
manure to keep up the fertility OF his
land.
The beefman keeps cows to convert
the cheap roughage of his farm into
calves to sell, and into manure to keep
I'D the fertility of his land.
The dairyman should keep cows
such as Holsteins, Jerseys, etc, that
are efficient producers of dairy
products.
The beefman should keep COWS, sucn
as Shorthorns, Herefords, Angus, etc.
that produce good calves.
The dairyman should breed his cows
to a dairy-bred bull. The beefman
should breed his cows to beef-pred
bull.
Purebred bulls should always DC
used. High.grade cows are as econom'
ical producers of milk or beef as pure
breds. -
; A purebred bull will increase the
value of the calf crop $40 per calf
or $500 per year, for herd of 30 cows

Floating Gardens OF China,
Immune Alike to Drought or
Flood, Often Avert Famine

The first point of interest TO tue
tr.,oler in China is the boat tom OF
Canton. The Chookeang, or Peari NV,
ar for a distance of miles, is covered
with boats. which form the residences
of n numerous population. Laia -
valuable in China, and 1t is presuiileu
that the rent of the river is merely
nominal.
The Chinese not only live on the NV
ers, but they also use them TOT CUR
dening purposes. In the mohth "a
April a bamboo raft, ten to Twelve leei
long and about half as wide, IS pre-
pared. -,
The poles are dashed together witt
interstices of an inch between each'
over this a layer of straw an lhch
thick is spread and then coating TWO
inches thick of adhesive mud, taken
from the bottom of canal or pona
which receives the seed.
The raft is mcored to the bank IN
still water, and requires no further
| attention. The straw soon gives away
| and the soil also, the roots drawing
| support from the water alone.
In about 20 days the raft becomes
covered with the creeper (ipomea rep
tans). and its stems and roots are
gathered for cooking. In autumn It's

leaves, present very pretty appear

The chief use however, is to raise
vegetables for the owners family, and
with half. a dozen of these RATS, a
Chinaman will have enough and to
snare. says >an exchange.
In the lower Yang-tse- Kiang and the
Hoang-Ho rivers, extensive Ice tieldS
are cultivated in this manner. Upor
RATS constructed as above, weeds ant
adherent mud are placed as a flooring
and when the rice shoots are ready
for transplanting, they are placed II
rhe floating sell, which, being adhesive
and held in PLACE by weed roots, tn
nlants are maintained in position
throughout the season, the rice flpeh
Ing in from 60 TO 20 days.
The RATS are fastened to the shor
nv cables, and these floating field
have served to avert famine, whethe
nv drought or food. When othe
fields were submerged and their crop
sodden or rotten, these floated an
flourished, and when drought pre-
vailed, they snbsided with the fallin
waters. and, while the soil around wa

Tennessee Farmers Who Keep

CLEAN MILK CLEAN CREAM
Many Farmers Are Selling Cream and
Getting Regular Pay Checks in he
turn-Permanen Success Depends
Upon Production Of Clean Cream.

Good, clean cream should be pro-
duced on every Tennessee farm where
dairy cows are kept, according to Z. A
Hutton, Dairy Specialist OF the Dl-
vision of Extension, University OF
Tennessee, Knoxville.
Just short while back says Mr.
Hutton, 1.-The Dairy Division OF the u
s. Department of Agriculture, seeing
the Importance OF good cream to the
! South, gave its commentators
based on years of experience. Ihe
points made by the government work
ers should be we'll taken in Tennessee:
'Clean milk is absolutely indispensa-
BILE to the production of clean cream
To produce clean milk the barn, barn
ward, mixers, and milk utensils must
he clean. and the cows must be clean
and healthy. 81
"The cream separator and the milk,
utensils should be thoroly washed
and scalded as soon as possible AFTER
! they are used, as particles of milk or
cream left in the separator or on uten-
sils act as a starter and cause the
cream to sour more quickly.
Cream should be separated so as
TO contain from 80 to 95 per cent or
, butterfat, as rich cream does not sour
so quickly as thin cream. Rich cream
leaves more skimmilk on the farm for
feeding purposes, reduces transporta
} tion expenses. makes less bulk to han
die on the farm and in the creamery
= and usually reaches the creamery IN
q better condition.
Cream sours very quickly at TEN
