$500 PERCOW IN
DAIRY RECEIPTS
Americas Lad Writes Of Results
Showing By State College
Herd
BY J. l.. MERRITT
Americas Student at State College
of Agriculture.


ATHENS, May 22.-Figures from
the Animal Husbandry division of the
State College of Agriculture at Ath-
ems show conclusively that profit
2 an be made in dairying by the farm
Ders of this state.
During the period when values of
all farm products and manufactured
products as well are having such de-
preciated values, it is gratifying to
know that the receipts for the pres
ent fiscal year just ended from the
dairy herd at the state college have
kept so near up to the high record
established last year. Fourteen
years ago, the receipts from the dairy
herd were $1,124. The close of the
present fiscal year shows a total in
come of more than $4,000.
For the first year 1908 the gross
returns per COW were $86.49. The
table shows that at the present time
the returns per cow are more than
$500. Practically all of the cows in
the herd now were bred by the col
lege,
The cooperative creamery operat-
ed by the college in connection with
the dairy serves double purpose,
besides offering valuable instructions
to the students of the college, it has
been great aid to the farmers of
this vicinity in providing the ready
cash market for butter fat produced
by small farmers, During the year
6,l71.76 pounds of butter fat were
purchased from the patrons for which
they received $3,2t2.73.
1t might be of interest to ncte that
the dairy herd that is making re-
turn of over $500 per COW is com
posed of 80 Jerseys, Is Holsteins.
and 8 Guernseys. An inspection of
the pedigrees of some of these ami
mails will show that some of the best
and most noted blood lines of the
respective breeds are carried in this
dairy herd.
The State College through the ami
NAL husbandry division, which is I'M
der the efficient supervision of Mil
ton p. Jarnigan, has been instrument
tai in establishing some of the most
successful dairies in the state.
Through the cooperative efforts of
the U. S. extension department and
the animal husbandry division of the
college, valuable service has been
rendered to the farmers and dairy
men.
Mr.. Jarnigan says that this divis
ION of the college is anxious to aid
Nhe farmers over the state in estab-
fishing dairy herds and working out
efficient programs of management
which is an important factor in the
dairy business"
Many farmers have avaiIed them
selves of the service offered by this
division, in purchasing pure-bred dali
ry stock for those farmers tust
starting in the dairy business.
From the above facts, we can see
that this is one of the best channels
through which program of diversi-
tication can be developed to an adj
vantage by the farmers of Sumter
county.

and if it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without max
