The Lcwisburg Ice Cream plant
has recently been improved By the
addition Of aothcr cooling and
hardening room; and now has the
capacity Tor storing at least 1000
gallons of ice cream. This addi-
tIonal space for storing the pro-
duct enables the management to re-
ccIVe all the cream produced dur
ing the flush of the season, and al
so will permit them TO take the
product of more darics should they
be developed.
The factor limiting the dairy in
duStry here seems TO have been The
lack Of Il market, but with This
splendid, steady-growing plant to
take care OF the product that dis
advantage should be overcome.
This should encourage the man
his. production; if not by The adj
dition of more individuals, by a
gradual process of breeding,
wedding. and feeding. The use Of
high protin feeds in well bal
anced ration means better nour-
ished stock. and the manure prop
erly cared for means a better
nourished soil.
CottonSeed is always the cheap
est source Of Protein.
Some firms are now Quoting
41% Cottonsced at S4G.50 f. o. b.
Memphis, which would probably
mean delivered price of around
$1,000. Ii would be a wise step
for. interested feeders to get to-
| godhcr ON this proposition, and
order thcir requirements in car
lots. The last several seasons this
grade Of goods has been costing
from $500 to $4,000 toward The
close OF the feeding season. and
by a wise purchase al the present
price those extra dollars may be
used to line ones own pocket.
