Reply to Mr.. c, Lawaetz,
Little La Grange.

On the basis of the calculation by
which the price of milk is shown to be
13 cents aquart, with an exchange rate
of 21%, it may safely be stated that the
price should sink TO three and one thir-
teenth cents, with an exchange of so.
Lest it be overlooked. the fact should
be borne in mind that it was the deliv-
erers who urged the regulation of the
milk price according to that paid in
u. S.. currency for cattle, and if such a
method was approved when it worked to
the benefit of the deIiverer it seems
only equitable that it should remain in
force even though its application may re-
dound to the advantage of the consumer.
Moreover, it is an indlsputable point
Of reasoning that if the currency in
which the price of goods is quoted
assumes a higher value, prices should
he changed accordingly. If there is
ANYTHING not quite clear in what has
heeo advanced in this connection the
editor will be pleased to furnish addition
al EXPLANATION where necessary.

Some Hints For Improving
The Dairy industry

The present time seems opportune for
some suggestions to Dairymen, for i'm
nroving the Dairy industry and placing
+ on a more profitable basis. Unless
the profits from dairying are good, it is
iikelv that the industry will receive lit
tln interest. Increasing the price of
milk is one way of making the industry
more profitable, but it is not the best
wav- though it may be necessary
as a temporary %expedient. The best

thods of production.
In the first place. it is plain that the
cows of the island, are not producing
enough milk. There are two ways of
increasing the milk production. % by
better feeding O. the animals e. by
better breeding of, the animals. The
latter method is the most economical
and will be considered first. AS far as
| can gather the evidence from the Dairy
men, an average COW in this island gives
only 600 to 700 lbs. of milk per year,
besides raising a calf worth $4,000 to
$50. 90. Probably the calf is allowed to
get two-thirds of the milk and the dairy
nan takes one-thir2. Assuming this to
be the case. an average cow here gives
1900 to 2,100 lbs. of milk yearly when
fed on grass and water only. A really
good cow ought to produce some 1000 -
5000 lbs. of mix on the same feed.
Very highly bred cows in the United
States, produce 10000 lbs. or more of
milk yearly, but of cou' Sc such milk
yields are obtained by special feeding.
The system which ought to be adOrted
in order to improve the breed for milk
ing purposes, is briefly as follows:
l. Separate the herd into 2 parts, Q)
A Dairy Herd composed of a few cows,
say 10 or 20@ of the f1ock-the very best
COWS of the herd must of course be
chosen. 81 4 Meet Herd composed Of
the balance. The Meat Herd should
be kept in pasture, on the poorest
land of the Estate, and no milk taken
from them. The ordinary flock bull of
the Estate should be kept with this herd.
If it is desired eventually to have only
a milk herd, these cattle can be gradu-
ally butche"ed off, as the milk flock
increases in numbers.
Procure a Bull of first class pedigree,
of a first class milking strain, say Hol-
stein, Guernsey or Ayrshire, and keep
him with the selected ows When the
calves of the best cows reach maturity,
and give birth ito the first calf, separate
the calf from the mother. Suckle the
calf by hand With whole milk and then
skim milk. Weigh the milk from each
COW separately every day, and keep a
record of the amount for the WhoJe pc
Yjod of Lactation. Keep the cows with
the best milking record, and the calves
of these ows for breeding with the
pedigree Bull. In a few years the
milk production per COW, by this means,
can readily be doubled or trebled. These
facts are probably we'll known to most
of the Dairymen here, but they do not
get busy making use of them-nOW is
the time tc start when th1re is a good
price for milk and a scarcity of produc-
tor, all over the world. A start in his

the following suggestions.
l.. Do not sell any cotton seed away
from the Island, have it crushed and
feed it to your dairy stock. If you
can persuade your Cotton Ginner to
import delinting and seed crush
ing machine, you can then feed
the cotton seed cake to your stock,
and it will be better for them than the
whole seed. One or two pounds Of cot
ton seed per day per cow, will greatly
help the milk flow.
2. Grow a crop of corn, and make the
grain into meal, feeding about z lbs.
of meal per day per COW. The Agricul-
tural Experiment Station has produced
a variety of corn which gives large yields
of grain, and a small quantity of this
seed can be obtained free by anyone
applying for it. The seed should be sown
in rows 81 it. apart, and spaced lift.
apart in the rows.
Grow Velvet Beans between the corn,
and feed the crushed beans to your COWS.
One pound of beans per day per COW
will be sufficient. Velvet Beans bear
prolifically here and cost little to grow.
Besides producing a crop of beans, the
vines make an excellent fertiliser for the
soil and by their luXuriant growth, keep
down all weeds. A crop of velvet beans
natures in about A to 5 months. They
should be planted between the corn
stalks, and preferably l or 2 weeks later
than the corn.
4. Encourage the growth of blue-wis
among your Guirea Grass, by collecting
and scattering the seeds of this valuable
leguminous plant in your pastures.
5. Grow a few acres of Elephant
Grass on some of your best and --LATEST
land. The ground should be prepared
thoroughly for this grass by ploughing
and narrowing. The grass is best planted
in rows 3 to 3tft. apart, the cuttings Of
grass being spaced q to 3ft apart in the
rows. Elephant Grass grows quicker and
makes more fodder per acre here, than
any other grass, and further it makes
good growth even in dry weather. 1t
has Guinea Grass thoroughly beaten in
this respect. Until the grass is stablish-
ed it should be kept clean by wedding.
Cuttings of this grass car be obtained by
anybody on application to the Expert
ment Station.
6. 1t is a good plan to give COW at all
times access to salt. Keep blocks of rock
salt in places where the COWS can readily
get to lick them.
7. Erect a Silo on your Estate, in
which you can store green fodder dur
ing the wet season and feed it to your
stock In the dry weather. In this way
you can be quite independent of the
