DAIRY
FACTS
DISPOSING OF MILK SURPLUS
Developed Dairy Districts
During Summer.

prepared by the United States DEPART
ment of Agricultural
For the first time since the begin
ming Of the World war there is devel-
Oping in this country a surplus OF
milk, according to reports recently
received by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. Specialists OF
the department state that this condi-
ton probably will be only temporary
during the flush" of the season, and
that it is most apparent in well-de-
velOped dairy districts. 1t may con-
tinue during the summer months, but
Is expected to adjust itself by fall.
when demand will Overtake the sur
plus of supply. The situation is large
ly due 10 the falling off in the demand
for milk in the manufacture Of con-
densed products, milk powders, casein,
and similar products, for which there
was a large export outlet.
The department points put the ad-
visibility of using as much milk as
possible, in fluid form and otherwise,
as a human food. Within the last
generation an increased knowledge of
the value of milk in the diet has re-
suited in an almost doubled per cap
ita consumption Of milk, and con-
SumerS who purchase milk freely
thereby encourage production. This
is believed to be the best safeguard
against a milk shortage and high
prices resulting from the withdrawal
OF dairymen from the business during
periods Of large production and low
farm prices for milk.
But when the limit Of human utili-
cation is reached dairy producers nee
essarily must decide how to dispose
of the remainder. In many cases this
will be a decision between selling
whole milk, selling cream, Or ever to
use a moderate quantity Of whole
milk for feeding, especially to young
animals. In any event, a more liberal
use Of milk on farms should reduce
the surplus, even though not solving
The problem entirely.
AS a guide to persons deciding to
utilize surplus milk as a live stock
feed, the department makes the fol-
lowing recommendations, which may
be supplemented with literature Is
sued by the department:
Milk from a dairy herd which Is not
definitely known to be free from tu-
berculosis should be scalded before
being fed. An ordinary feed cooker
is a practical NEAR for scalding milk.
This process Is approximately equiv

A FEUD OF THE TENNESSEE MOUNTAINS

From somewhere on a nearby mountainside a rifles keen report
split the air; a bullet whined like a mad hornet; Dales hat jumped
a little on his head.
The awakening was exceedingly rude. Dale wheeled, his gray
eyes ablaze, and saw only a ting cloud of smoke-mist rising from the
laurels more than fifty feet array.
"Come out, you coward~ he roared. "Come out and let me
see you" curiosity taking the place of anger in his voice. "PUe

The mufled sound of a tuig breaking a short distance off to his
left neat claimed his attention. He was being closely matched by
@ pair of the finest, clearest 6rown eyes he had ever seen. He saw her
eyes first; he neuer forgot that.
She ws standing on a Gw cliff beyond the sparkling creek that
f1owed beside the railroad, and she was partially hidden by a chump
of blooming laurel. But Dale could see that she wus about twenty;
that euery line of her rounded, graceful figure whispered of a doelike
strength; that she was as straight as a young pine; that her chestnut
brown hair caught the sunlight, and that her face was ouaLshaped
and handsome-rather than pretty-in spite Of it's tan.
Dale took of his hat. There WaS q bullet hole IN the very top
Of its high-peaked crown.
"WhOs the robber?" he frowne9.
The girl HuShed.
"Mej6e he amt a rob5er," she said. "Mebbe he thought you

Dale smiled. "Oh, not SerOusIyF
"You amt likely to be, eff ye behave yesef."
And that's how the hero and heroine of "The Clan Can' meet.
Out of the ordinary! Rather. But then they meet in a extraordinary
part of the United States of America where live "the purest-blooded
darkness of ignorance in order that they might send missionaries and
educators to foreign countries-the greatest mistake of church and
society since the Civil war"
But it's a fascinating country and a fascinating people. And this
is a fascinating story of it and them. OF purse it's a feud story. The
hero is a city mar, with a n eut-of-doors mind; the heroine a girl of
the mountains. A feud intervenes between them. but love laughs a
feuds, as it does at loeksmiths.

alent to pasteurization, which most
large cities require as a safeguard to
public health. Metal pals that can be
kept clean by washing and scalding
are preferable to wooden containers or
others that are difficult to clean.
In calf feeding it usually pays well
to feed one pound Of whole milk for
each ten pounds that the calf weighs,
for q period of two weeks, and at the
end of that time to change gradually
to an equal amount OF skim milk. The
skim milk should be gradually in
creased as the calf grows until about
Is pounds per day is fed at the end
Of three months. Feed the milk warm
and regulate the quantity according
to size and vigOr of the calf.
For pigs three weeks old or more,
three parts of skim milk mixed with
one part of shorts, is useful in keeping
them growing. Skim milk may be fed
with corn and other hog feeds in va
rious practical combinations.
In poultry feeding both skim milk
and buttermilk are excellent feeds,
and can now also be purchased as q
nonperishable commercial feed, which
is sold in large barrels as semisolid
buttermilk. Skim milk and butter
milk may be fed alone or mixed with
other feeds, but feeders should OBJ
serve their flocks carefully to avoid
giving too much milk, or bowel trOu-
BILE may result. This is caused prin-
cipally by fowls eating spoiled clab-
bered milk remaining from a previous
feeding.
While to live stock owners unaccus-
toned to the use Of milk as q stock
feed it may appear somewhat expen-
sive, there are advantages which milk
feeders quickly recognize. In addition
to utilizing the surplus milk that
would otherwise be wasted. young
stock generally make q very rapid
growth. This means early maturity
and early usefulness, compared with
stock that have developed slow.

David Moreland's Mountain.

Carlyle Wilburton Dale-known to
himself and a few close friends as Bill
Dale-had laid out a course OF action
almost before the nOrthbound train
had left the outskirts of the state cap
ital behind. 1t incurred facing big
odds; but other lei had faced big
odds and won out, and what others
had done he could do. Indeed, he had
already done several things which
other men might not have thought Of
doing, and one of them was leaving q
bride, not figuratively but literally, at
the altar in a fashionable church But
he knew Patricia hadn't wanted to
marry him any more than he had
wanted to marry her.
1t was only natural for him to think
Of coal, now that he,had cut loose for
all time from the "set" in which he
had always been a colossal miSflt, now
that he must pull his own oars or vir-
tually perish. He had heard coal
talked since the day of his birth; to
him coal and business meant exactly
the same.
One of his fathers associates had
often spoken of a fine vein in the
mountains of eastern Tennessee-had
often tried to persuade his father to
look into it, to no avail, Young Dale re-
membered that this vein lay not far
from a long railroad siding called the
Halfway Switch, in the vicinity Of Big
Pine mountain. The owners were
mountain folk of English descent, his
fathers associate had said. Decidedly
strange, thought Dale. that his father
had never cared to investigate it.
The cindery little train reached the
long siding about the middle of a fine
spring morning. Dale took up his bag,
FASTENED out, and soon found himself
standing alone in the heart Of an ex-
tremely wild section Of country.
When the noises of the little train
and the fast mail it had just met had
died away, there came the saucy chat
tering of boomer-squirrels and the
sweet twittering of birds. Dale caught
the joyous spirit. He could have
fairly shouted out of the fullness of
his very human heart. Here all was
unspoiled and unprofaned, and some
thing whispered within him:
"They won't call you a savage
here-make this your W country"
From somewhere on a nearby
m~ountainside a rifles keen report split
the air; a bullet whined like q mad
hornet; Dale's hat jumped a little on
his head.
The awakening was exceedingly
rude. Dale wheeled. his gray eyes
ablaze. and saw only a tiny cloud Of
smoke-mist rising from the laurels
more than fifty feet away.

Dale took off his hat. There was a
bullet hole in the very top Of it's high
peaked crown.
"Who's the robberT" he frowned.
The girl blushed.
"Mebbe he amt a robber," she said.
"Mebbe he thought you was somebody

"WOuld you mind showing me the

"Your home, you know" Dale ex-
planned with a smile.
"Oh, my home. Why didn't We say
so, then? No, 1 won't" she declared.

his hands on his hips.

coming toward him with steps that
would have measured almost four
feet, the tallest and lankiest individ-
ual he had ever seen outside q circus.
The newcomer had a smoothly shaven
chin, his coal-black hair was long and
his long mustache completely hid the

"One day l got a letter from David,

wife was pow'ful sick. A week later
she died, and left a baby which died,
too, accordin' to a old Injun by the
name O. Cherokee Joe, who knowed

He pays. his W debts, and he collects

John Moreland arose and paced the
porch floor, which creaked under his
weight. He stopped before Dale, and
went on sadly:
"NOw yell know why l was so much
tore up when l heered yore name, the
Carlyle part. John X. Carlyle killed
the best man at ever lived. And meb-
be yell understand why We amt never
had the conscience to sell the coal, |

Moreland's guest sat staring absent
ly toward a brOwn-winged butterfly
that was industriously slipping honey
from the heart Of a h~Oneysuckle
bloom. He gave no sign that he had
heard anything out Of the ordinary,
but in an odd, persistent way his mind
seemed to connect his father, John K.
Dale, with the story he had just heard.
John X. Dale had come originally
from West Virginia, and he had fatty
refused, time upon time, to make any
