J. G.. WEIGH, Manager

than Northern Creamery The
manager would not sell him any
at those prices and in less than
TWO years the grocer offered the
Creamery full Elgin prices for
lis entire product.
But the hard times from 1898
TO 81 put butter prices down very
low, as well as everything else.
The reaction came, however, and
the manager seeing milk and
cream shipping coming, opened
a small milk depot in Little Rock
for the Creamery and went there
personally to operate it. Success
came from the start as we sold
straight 4 per cent milk and 20
per cent cream. Customers were
delighted with quality and sent
others. But Carlisle dairymen
had lots Of pigs to feed their skim
milk 20 and did not endorse the
milk depot and right there was
the greatest mistake our dairymen
ever made, in our Judgment. Lit
ie Rock consumers wanted our
milk for It's right quality, and
were willing to pay for IT, About
two years later two Little Rock
dairymen were persuaded to sell
THEN. 90 head of cows and open a
milk depot on Main street, and
get their supply of milk and cream
from Carlisle creamery. The plan
worked and their first years bills
were over $25, 900 with milk at
S1.20 for summer and 81 80 for
winter months.
But times have changed rapidly
in 20 years Cotton seed meal has
advanced in price over 400 pei
cent and declined in quality
| Wheat bran and everything else
the producer has TO buy has
gone the same way. But milk
bought by the Babcock test-same
as 20 years ago has only increased
in price about $50 per cent Other
farm products have not increased
that much except corn and cotton
perhaps.
But you never hear of Il farmer

Farming Schools in Europe

Something of the character of
reconstruction work going on in
agricultural districts Of Italy can
be gained from data recently
compiled by the State Relations
Service of the United States De
partment Of Agriculture concern
ing the itinerant agricultural in
struction of that country. Ac-
cording to the latest statistics the
farmers of Italy have had the
benefit Of instruction from 27S
agricultural professors who travel
through the country giving short
courses, which are both theoreti-
cal and practical in character.
The cost Of this work is approx
mately 100000 year This ex-
pepse is shared by the State, the
province, and some local organi-
cation. Thnty-eight OF these
itinerant professors specialize in
such subjects as cheese making,
silkworm raising. mulberry cul-
ture, viticulture, fruit culture and
plant diseases. Since the close of
the war many courses have been
conducted in farm mechanics to
instruct farm laborers in the use
and repair of farm machinery
Courses in farm bookkeeping for
young men and women have also
been contemplated.

Dairy And Creamery History of
Carlisle

About the year OF 1873, Mr..
Seth Sleezer and w. F. McMuIry
and son. Arthur, were about the
first pioneers in the dairy business
near Carlisle. AT that time no To-
cality In the Southland could
boast of more luxuriant or plenti
ful supply of grass and hay than
this Grand Prairie region. It was
simply AN ideal country for the
cattle and hay men. Land could
be purchased for $3.50 per acre 4
to 5 miles from town and $500
per acre near railroad. As Car
isle began to get on the map peo-
pie came in from other states to
procure cheap homes and develop
ment began more rapidly. Thou
sands Of tons Of prairie hay were
sold at the railroad for $3.50 TO
$500 per ton loose pay mostly
trade at the stores. \ Cows could
be bought from the timber farm
ers for so to $12 per head, and
it was a sight to see them coming
home from the range along to-
wards evening with milk stream
ing from their udders. Cow feed
in winter was cotton seed at Z to
TO cents per 'bushel and prairie
hay at 81 so per ton on the farm.
As development increased, the
butter making with its drudgery
