Care of Cream for- Shipping and
Selling to Cream Station
Due to cream of poor quality, the
ream station at Due West was
forced to close and now that it has
reopened to receive cream again
Tuesday, we should do all that we
?an to get the most money out of it,
to make it a success and a better
market in the future by furnishing
eream of good quality. This can be
done only toy giving trie auu
ream proper care.
Clean UtensiU Very Important j
When milk is first milked from
the edder of the cow ,it is absolutely
clean and sterile and will keep sweet
if kept so.
The utensils should be thoroughly
washed, scalded and placed in the
sun after e<ach milking.
The udder of the cow should be
washed and dried, then milked with
4ry hands.
Care of Milk
Immediately after milking, the
milk should be thoroughly cooled.
tLis can be 'best accomplished by
eooling with cold water, either by
j.la^ing the milk in a aee?p bucket
And lowering into a well, or by
placing in a tub of cold water.
After the cream has "risen" to
the top, it may bo skimmed off and
added to cream from other milkings.
Never mix warm and cold cream or
warm or cold milk together as they
wi!! -'mmodiately sour.
T.he.cream should be kept in a
cool place until ready for delivery.
Boll Weevil Poisoning Demonstra
Mr. V. V. Williams, a specialist in
Boll Weevil Poisoning has been se
cured by the Extension Depart
ment from the Delta Laboratory,
Tullulah, La. He will have charge of
Boll Weevil Poisoning Demonstra
tions throughout the State.
Jlr. Williams has been actively
engaged in the poisoning work in
Louisiana and I feel that he can be
of a great deal of assistance to Ab
beville County.
It is my desire to have ten farm
ers in the County who are planning
to poison and will poison under Mr.
Williams' direction.
These, farmers will be selected
largely from a standpoint of ac
cessibility in their communities and
neighboring farmers will be notified
from time to time when dusting
demonstrations will be given on the
farms of the fanners selected. In
this way it is hoped to reach a
m\arminm rmmVmr /vf -fnrmPTSi with
authentic instructions on poisoning.
The South V?. The North in Hog
Production
oo you know that the South has
natural advantages over the North
that make it possible for the South
to grow hogs more cheaply than any
other section?
Our Advantages
1. We can graze hogs twelve
months in the year.
2. The maid climate permits every
JUJW IAJ IttlOC l/WU llWUeia U1 o
year.
3. We can grow a greater variety
of feed crops and with less cost.
4. We do not have to have expen
sive houses.
5. Due to type of crops and cli
?ute, the hogs can harvest their own
crops and at the same time increase
the fertility of the soil.
6. We can arrange to market our
fcogs at the top of the market every
year in April and August without
their having been fed one day dur
ing the entire sec/en months.
. Da yoa know that in spite of the
*bove advantages, the Corn Belt to
day produces not less than three
fourths of the meat consumed in the
United States?
Now since the arrival of the Iboll
weevil, aren't you missing a good
chance for something to take the
glace of so much cotton? Why not
plan to have some hogs to put in the
Cooperative Shipment this fall.
Oraiwebuwr Countv has sold $20.
00 worth of pure bred hogs in the
last ten months.
Market for Wool
If any one has wool for sale please
list it with me at once. We have a
bid for South Carolina Wool and
jjrospects are that It will be an ad
vantage to sell at an early date.
