FEED FOR MILK PRODUCTION
Many Old Cows Will Increase Capacity
II Fed on Properly Balanced
Ration,

There are a large number of old
cows that will increase their capacity
for milk-giving If fed on a properly
balanced ration and with a large
amount of succulent food the year
round. This is what develops the ca
pacity of the cow. A great many
cows are never fed with the idea of
getting out of them the greatest
amount Of milk possible each year,
with due regard to the health Of the
cows. II, however, the old cows we're
fed with this idea in mind, they would
continue to give a large mess Of rich
milk.

Take good care Of the cows. The
summer months are always trying on
cows giving milk. They VIII neeu
plenty Of feed, pasture with water and

Of them they are likely to fail and not

In skimming hundred pounds OF
IS per cent cream Is more pounds OF
skim milk Is, kept on the farm than
when the same amount Of 20 per cent
cream is taken. This saving can be
accomplished by turn Of the cream
screw, and at present feed prices Is
well worth the effort required. More
skim milk on the farms also means
more calves raised to furnish meat and
milk for all. Milk producers are paid
for the butterfat in cream, not for the
water and other constituents. This
makes It advisable. to skim q fieh
cream, so that as much valuable SKIM
milk as possible may be saved Tor reed

An interesting suggestion has been
made by prominent Swiss meteorol-

years be utilized to advance the cause
of science instead Of being merely mr.
ed of to make Roman holiday, or
else sunk In deep waters to avoid the
latent dangers which reside in them.
BY detoning these explosives In defin.

would be presented for the solution Of

A BULL As is A BULL
A YOUNG ONE FROM TENN
Mr.. W. T. Buford Buys at Bristol,
Tennessee, for $1,000, q Young
Bull Weighing 1000 Pounds.

Alderman H. D. Whitaker, not how
ever, in his aldermanic capacity, but
as a citizen having the welfare OF
the county at heart, and having also
in his private capacity something to
do with fine horses, mules and cattle,
being good one at the business, took
a Herald and News man to Burton's
mule pens at Jacobs stables Friday
and showed him beautiful and rich
bull The animal had just arrived
Thursday from Bristol, Tennessee
where MIR. Will r. Buford paid $1,000
for it.
Mr.. Whitaker says competent Judges
have told him that this Pole Hereford
bull is the finest ever brought to
Newberry in the history of the county.
Its weight Is practically 1000 pounds.
1t certainly is magnificent speci-
men Of bull. Mr.. Buford is to Be
commended for his nerve in buying
this costly animal and we hope 1t
will pay him so well that people car
hear him laugh all over the county.
Farmers and stock raisers ought 10
cooperate with him in raising fine
cattle, and 1t would pay the butchers
to buy beeves at a third more gross,
as Mr. Whitaker says they would
realize a greater profit from the beef
in the larger amount of choice meat
sold customers The country is in a
prosperous condition; people are get-
ting the best of everything; all lines
Of trade and commerce are being i'm
proved; the corn and small grain
crops are going to be increased; hogs
will be multiplied in large numbers,
and everything else will show growth
and advancement. Then why not
make the cattle industry big thing
in Newberry county?
