Provide Hometown
Feed For Dairy Cows

BY feeding milking cows literally
on inexpensive grown feeds instead
of lightly on expensive commercially
prepared feeds, Louisiana farmers
could materially increase their milk
profits, according to L. P. Mccain,
agent in dairying, Extension Divi-
sion, Louisiana State University.
Light feeding is usually the result
of the farmer having to buy large
proportion Of the feed he uses, that
is to say the large feed bill which
he has to meet each month prevents
him from feeding as literally as he
should" says Mr. Mccain. by pro-
ducing more feedstuff on the farm
this expensive factor would be lar
gely eliminated.
"The materials used in commercial
feeds usually consist of nothing more
than feeds which the farmer could
produce on his own place, or could
Duy IIOH lOCdI 1CCu uCdlCi' n
number of such materials are pur-
chased by the manufacturer of feed
stuffs, mixed together in such way
as to form a balanced ration, given
trade name, and then sold back to
the farmer at a greatly increase price.
In this way two freight charges and
the cost of preparing the feed, in ad-
dition to the manufacturers profit,
are added to the original price for
which the dairymen could have
raised or purchased the same feed
materials.
Feeds made up and sold under
trade names usually give satisfac-
tory results as far as milk production
is concerned, and their use to limi-
ted extent is desirable in many cases
but if the greatest profits are to be
made in the dairy business they
should not be relied upon as the main
ration for dairy cows"

MAY NINE OYSTER
SHELLS FOR ROADS
(From Times Picayune)

Mining for oyster shells for roads
in the latest industry proposed for
Louisiana, and may be inaugurated at
an early date, the plant to be in Nor

Thirty miles below Morgan City, at
the mouth of the Atchafalaya river,
there is a sunken reef on which are
resting. it is said, ten million cubic
yards of oyster shells, the oysters
that formerly inhabited them long
since having died. Catain w. D.
HAYDEN of Galveston, Tex, says it
is his intention to mine these oyster
shells and sell them to contractors
engaged in constructing shell roads.
Morgan City is the nearest railroad
point to the reef, and it has been de-
cided to establish shipping plant
there.

is guest at the Cosmopolitan Hotel.
"One in Galveston and the other at

has a capacity of about 100000 cubic
yards of shells per year. The she'll
is worth approximately 81 per Gu
bic yard, and / am doing business
in Texas of about 100000 per an
