More than 100000 pounds of but
ter was'made by SO creameries in the
Southern states in the year ending De
cember 81, 1919. Thirty of the "a
cheese factories scattered throughout
the mountain region turned out 4S1,-
COO pounds of Cheddar cheese. Silos,
modern dairy barns, and purebred
dairy cows are becoming common.
Fifteen years ago dairying as an in
dustry had been scarcely started in
the southern states" said a specialist
in the dairy division, United. States
Department of Agriculture. 1.-THE
South probably has made more prog
ress in the last IL years than any
other section of the country. The in
crease in the number Of dairy cows
from 1907 to 1920 was more than 30
per cent. The increase for the en-
tire United States during the same
period was 1S.S per cent"
While the Increase in number of
cows has been large, it is pointed out
by men working comparatively with
the federal government and the state
agricultural college that the improve
ment in quality has been of even great
er Importance. Purebreds have been
shipped in every year in large num-
bers, and great interest has been
shown in the use of purebred sires.
There are now 4S bull associations in
these states. The latest ensus fig
ures available show there are 5,lS4
head of purebred dairy cattle in South
Carolina and 1855 in Virginia.
Dairy development began in the
southern states shortly after 1906"
said one of the specialists, "but the
improvement was slow at first 1t
vas difficult to convince growers in
my territory that there was anything
for them in dairying. But an object
lesson was found that finally con-
WINGED them. On one side of a road
was a field of cotton that yielded two
bales per acre; on the other side q
field gave half a bale. The farm that
grew two bales to the acre had kept
COWS for five years, and the manure
had produced the change. Farmers
were taken from miles around to see
these two fields.

gross infestation. In an attempt to
relieve the intense itching the infested
animals scratch themselves with their
feet and rub violently against any
convenient object. The frequent rub
bling destroys the hair in patches and
often causes wounds in the skin. The
lice congregate around the abrasions
and thus cause further irritation and
annoyance to the animals.
Lice, may attack hogs OF any age or
condition, and If allowed to spread
the infested animals suffer and the
owner loses in the increased quantity
Of feed consumed per pound of gain,
arrested growth of young pigs, and
shrinkage in weight Of fattening hogs.
When young pigs become infested at
an early age from the brood sow and
the lice are allowed to remain on the
animals until the hogs are ready for
butchering, the loss caused by the
parasites is a considerable item IN the
cost OF producing pork. Estimates
based on observations and limited ex-
detrimental data fix the direct money
loss in such cases at from 2 to 6 per
cent of the market value Of the hog.
The indirect losses caused by lice are
seldom taken into consideration, be-
cause on. casual observation they are
not so apparent. Hogs infested by
large numbers of lice suffer a lower
ing of vitality ard a generally I'M
thrifty condition which renders them
more susceptible to attack by other
parasites and by contagious diseases.
The damage and losses caused by hog
lice are of sufficient importance to
warrant the application of treatment
for their eradication.

Curing Pea Hay.

In saving pea hay care must be
used to cut at a time when most of
the legumes are on the plant as the
leaves are rich in feeding nutriment
and animals are very fond of them.
In handling the hay this must be
kept in mind and as little shattering
as possible must be had.
1t takes a little practice to deter
mine the best time to cut pea hay.
A large per cent of the pods should
be yellow, fully matured, but not dry.
If many pods are dry the peas will
shell, shatter and much loss occur.
If the pods are mostly fully matured,
but not dry, they will shrink slightly
and be retained on the vines and the
peas utilized with the hay, making
very rich feed. Over-ripe peas mean
heavy loss of both pods and leaves.
Mature, ripe peas give excellent hay
with a minimum of loss.
Peavines cut in the morning should
be raked into windows that after
moor. Often two hours in the swath
in very hot weather is sufficient,
then the hay should be put in the
windrow and soon afterwards shock
ed. The peas should wilt fully but
may be cured in the windrow after
wards.
To shock, set a stake about eight
feet long with a piece about
eight or ten inches above the ground.
Stack the ~peavines around this stake,
being carful to draw in symmetri-
cally the shock till the top reaches
a point at the top of the stake. If
very much wet weather is feared a
cloth or oil cloth on the top will be
advisable. When well cured the shock
had best be baled or hauled in and
sheltered.
There is no better hay than pea
vine, if cut at the right time and
cured in the right way.-Farm&
Ranch.

recommended in sections OF the South
not to make dairying a major indus
try, but rather to establish a system
that would supply the home demand
for dairy products, and at the same
time build up and maintain soil fer
tility, both by supplying manure and
by enforcing a proper rotation of
crops. This would make possible the
production Of cotton and other staple
crops at greater profit. This vas the
aim of the southern dairy extension
work, the first large scale extension
project attempted, which was started
under the direction of the dairy d.
vision of the Department of Agricul-
ture in 1906, and carried forward CO.
operatively by the department and
the state agricultural colleges.
One of the first things corrected
was the poor feeding methods. Cot
tonseed meal and hulls formed the
basis of the ration; farmers had no
knowledge of balanced rations; silos
were few in number, and it was not
known generally that they could be
built by farm labor. A few silos were
erected in 1906 as demonstrations, and
the idea began to grow slowly in pop
ularity.
The value of silage compared with
c%ottonseed hulls was very striking,
even in the days when bulls were only
81 or S. a ton. A dairy farm near
Biloxi, Miss. where 40 tons of silage
were fed instead of cottonseed bulls,
reported q saving of $3.50 for the WIN
ter.
From a local standpoint" writes
one of the federal agents of the dairy
division, "the establishing of dairying
in the boll-weevil districts of Mississip-
ri has been one of the greatest
achievements. Anyone acquainted with
the dependency of farmers In 1872
in southern Mississippi, and who was
enabled later to see the change wrought
by the dairy cows, will agree that en-
thusiasm for dairying is well founded
in a region that was a%oundering for
some means of a livelihood, now
changed to a country in which the
farmers are supplying whole milk for
New Orleans and other points. This
means good methods are being used"
