DAIRYING BRINGS
PROFIT TO RANKIN
COUNTY FARMERS
S. q. Schultz and j. S. Maxey Put
Dairying Business on Systematic
Basis, and Realize Substantial
Gain. Other Farmers Waking Up.

During the past few years there
has ben decided increase in dairy
ing activity throughout Rankin
County, and many of the most
progressive citizens have large
herds OF cattle from which they
are receiving neat income daily.
some attention on the farms, but
not until recently has ii been given
first place on many of the best
farms in Rankin County. Dairying
is carried on for three purposes {:
selling milk, making butter and
making cream, and ready market
is found for each. Milk is sold to
supply the consumers in cities and
for making condensed milk.
1t was formerly supposed that
dairying could be made profitable
only during the summer months,
but the use Of scientific methods
made profitable the year through.
The people who have turned their
attention to this industry have
found it necessary to select the best
COWS and to feed them properly.
By means of the milk tester, the
dairyman is able to determine the
quality of milk from each COW, and
by wedding out the inferior animals
and supplying their place with
pure bred stock, he can bring his
herd to the highest standard of
excellence.
In summer the cows are pastured
crop of bran and meal. In winter
they are fed hay, corn, silage and
meal.
The by products of milk are skim
milk, butter milk and whey and is
usually mixed with meal and fed
to swine. and by this process he
furnishes his farm with lard and
meat
Many dairymen ship the cream
only, while others sell the whole
milk
At Shadow Lawn Dairy Farm,
3. miles north of this city, owned
by Sam Schultz, daily record
is being kept of each COW and those
that do not reach the required
standard will be sold or fattened
for beef and their places taken by
others. He recently completed a
modern barn.
Many other people throughout the
county are turning their attention
to dairying and find it a profitable
business.
Jack Maxey, a leading citizen of
this community, is deyoting much
OF his time and attention to the
dairy business and finds it profit
able and interesting occupation. He
Keeps his herd up to the standard
and ships cream daily.
