* CARE OF THE DAIRY COW. *

As dairy products have, for a long
tne, been popular as human foods
and are destined to remain so indefi
nitely, it is sunprising that so little
attention has been given to 'the pro
duction and especially is this true
in our Southern States. It is safe to
say that there are not articles so com
&nonly used in our diet about which
there is such a lack of accurate
knowledge and such extravagant
..methods of production as is the case
in the production of milk, cream, but
ter, or cheese.
With our peculiar advantages such
as clim'atic conditions insuring long
seasons for crop growing and elim
inating the necessity for expensive
bousing of cattle, the State of South
Carolina should figure largely as an
exporter of .airy products instead of
relying on other States to supply a
considerable portion of our needs in
this respect.
It is not for a moment assumed
tht every farmer could profitably en
gage in ,the dairy business, but it is.
certain that there is room for many
,more and that many of those already
engaged in it could add materially to
their profits by a better unders-tand
of the underlying principles. The
st important question to be decided
starting a dairy farm is that 9f
Choosing -the k1nd of eoM to be kept.
Without entering here into 'a dis
ussion as \to the relative merite of
certain dairy breeds 'it is sufficient
to say that there are certain charac
teristics which distinguish the pro
11table dairy cow from the profitable
beef, producer; that these character
istlcs aire especially found in such
breeds 'as .Terseys, Guernseys, Hol
teims and Ayrshires and that the
strictly beef type of cattle are, as a
rule, unprofitable in the dairy.
NOt every man can profitably handle
the pure breds at the start, but good
grades of the above are very isaisfac
tory.' No mati;er how good a start
bas been made in the selection of the
cow there still remains the important
question of proper handling and feed
ing. CIt is a ma,tter, of common ob
servationi that.4u;ing the season when
the pastures are providing an abund
ant supply of feed, succulent and nu
tritious, it is an easy matter to keep
up the milk flow; hence we can not
do better than to substitute, as far
as possible, these natural conditions
at other seasons of the year.
This means that during the winter
it is neeary to supply some 4eed
thatis succulent oer juicy; this again
means ensil'age, and right. bete is a
good piace to say that for herds of ten
or t5ve.lye head and over the silo is a
proftable investment. T,orn ensilage
is, however, not in itself rich enough
for 'a complete i'ation.. and should
-erefore be supplemented with some
concentrate and ini this section cot
ton seed meal should be used as a
basis for the concentrated portion of
the feed. A fairly good ration for a
cow weighing 90 pounds and giving
thirty-two quarts of milk daily would
be forty pounds corn enisilage; four
pounds cotton seed meal; to pounds
corn meal; and two and a half' pounds
wheat bran along with about six
punds good, bright stover or mixed
sorghum,and pea vine hay.
The corn meal may frequengly be
profitably replaced by dried br-ef pulp
which is giving very good results as a
dairy feed anid can ge ally be ob
tained here for mnuc as than corn
meal. Salt should ~iven regular
ly, prefet ably on tfeed, say about
a small table s full sprinkled on,
food 4i'ce,dal -
rbest results the cows should be
warm and comfortably housed in
er and, chiefly because feeding
aring should be done at -reg
tervals, it is best to supply wat
the stable. The dairy cow is a
nsitive creature and quickly
ill treatment, so that all rough
ent should be absolutely abol
in the dairy barn. Treated in
manner the dairy cow will go on
placently chewing' her cud, gen
erously pouring out the milk, and
scarcely noting the difference between
summer and winter. Fed on such a
ration as above descri'bed, which is
only one of many good ones, the cost
to keep at market prices for the feed
for a cow giving 750 to 900 gallons of
milk would be from $50 to $60 per
year. Figure out the profits from such
a busineSs for yourself and when
through do not forget that in a short
time after establishing a small dairy
herd the per acre. yield of cotton and
other crops may be doubled and treb
led; in short there is no more idea:
method of buidling up a farm than b3
establishing a dairy herd on it. Wiher
