T TW VIEWS OF AN EXPERT. 7 What Hu Ban Done in Development af Diyiij and Stocking Rating. Mr. L A. Ransom, who is well known In Um South on account of his conspicuous work In agricultural mat- i ten and his connection with the South Carolina department of sericulture, and now with the Southern Cotton Oil Company, as District Manager, at At. lata. Gil, in writing about the lnflu- I ence of cotton seed products on the development of dairying In the South. "About USO. a few wealthy and enterprising Southern planters imported some Devon cattle from England. These were turned loose In canebrakes with the native scrubs and allowed to roam over large areas of wooded country, picking up a precarious living on the scant nasturage afforded by the woods freshly burned over by the forest fires in the spring. Although widely scattered and a few in number, the prepotency of this breed was so grea. that In many sections the evidence of this Infusion of good blood is still visible in the stock. "No well-to-do planter at that time considered that he had milch cows enough to supply the wants of his family utiles he owned at least twenty-five or thirty head. These droves of halfwild and half-famished animals were located towards nightfall by the ringing of a bell hung around the neck of the leader. They were driven to the cow-pen. sometimes miles from where they were found in the woods, a spaa, modic effort was made to extract milk from them, penned up over night, and second attempt made upon them the next morning. The "average yield' was about one quart per cow. "The Idea of Increasing this prod us tlon by Judicious feeding was not thought of. This was the rule, but of course there were notable exceptions. People who did not own unlimited acres of land, and who appreciated milk and butter, took better care of their cow* fed them regularly, and allowed them to pasture during iht day on their neighbors* land. This pasturing was morfto give them proper exercise. and Keep them healthy than to afford them any means of subsistence. To such an extent had the cattle Interests of Booth Carolina In 1SS0 depreciated that the repairs to the farm fence cost more than the vahie of the cattle in the State, and the probability la that the same was equally true of nearly r th. Southern States." Ttteo ame me -mo pence utv, which compelled the owners to fence the cattle Instead of the crops. This forced the farmers to own good milch cows, or none at all, as It btvane too MMHtre to food poor stock. About tWs time, or perhaps a little earlier. appeared the "Jersey" on the pcene, a breed of cattle as salted to the needs of those who were "too poor to own a osw. and too proud to milk a goat" Bat this beautiful little animal soon Amoostrated that she was ' not s "quitter," sad, furthermore, that she " Bed a long felt want" and. with proper attention, gave rich returns on Sir cost tad keep, sad, like the Irishman's pig that he raised In the cabin with his children, she "paid the rent" as well as the freight. As compared with*ths Devon, she was smaller in statue and gave leas milk, but the proportion of cream to watef In what she did give, far exceeded that of the Devon. the Durham, and Holsteln. and he promptly became the prime favorite of small families and butter-ma Iters. But she cotild not live without feed, and butter could not be produced profitably on corn meal, wheat bran, or cowpea diet, nor could It be produced at all on what the Jersey could pick up In the pastures. Nature, always lavish, but provident, hid away coal In the earth for ages, only to be uncovered when the world needed It most, pointed the way to the gold fields only when this precloux y metal was absolutely required for the world's commerce, and covered from sight the phosphate rock of the Carolines until Improvident man had destroyed the fertility of tbe fields, likewise she held v-*cL the material required to make dairying In the South possible and profitable, >intil condi uuua wrrc nToriDie ior iu use. The advent of the Jersey cow created a demand for a cheap and rich food, which the oil mills supplied wl4* holla and meal. In a list of fifty of the leading feed materials of the United States, the Natiohal Department of Agriculture ranks cotton seed meal ftrat, in feeding value and places the value of cotton seed hulls for the same purpooe above the best timothy hay. The use of these products has fully sustained the department's reports. ua u?irj nrmius w uui Becoming an Industry of Importance, and thin has bent largely the result of the liberal policy of the Southern Cotton Oil Co. of the Carolina* and Georgia, which has headquarters at Columbia. 8. c.. Atlanta. ijMl, Savannah, Oa. and Charlotte. If. C., Ooldsboro, N. C.. and Augusta. Chi Around the large cities In the South, dairies are successfully operated, supplying the people with wholesome milk, and rich golden butter from cowa fed on hulls and meal. The country mills have accomplished the same thing for the farms and small towns. Around the factory towns the small mills make dairying poeslble. and profitable.^ the demand from the operative? Is sufldent to consume all the milk and butter that can he produced, and the use of meal for fertilising the land, which Is sold reasonably by the Southern Cotton Oil Company, has greatly enlarged the area devoted to truck farming of all kinds. Without ofl mill products dairying would be Impossible In many sections of the South. The abundance, cheapness and convenience of the products has already developed the business to - . an interesting extent and It is only In its infancy, and its growth will increase rapidly each year with the steady improvement in the grade of milch cows. Oleomargarine contains about forty per cent milk, and the Is a wholesome product. Ike establishment of co-operative factories for Its manufacture In the.vicinity** of oQ mills where refined oil can be had would give a tremendous lmycfus to dairying in the South.
