Umeter N*** - , A v ^ Profit and Progress Rewards of Dairying Clemson College, April 6.?That dairying is a profitable business in South Carolina was further proven when Sensation's Mikado's Millie 607901 a Jersey cow owned by Fred H, Young of Timmonsville, the onlj two-year-old Medal of Merit cow the world has ever produced, recently completed a test in which she pro*, duced 16,041 pounds of milk ami 953,06 pounds of butterfat, or a littlo more than 1120 pounds of butter in 866 days. This hi an average of over live gallons of milk and more than three pounds of milk per day for a year, ,or nearly 100 pounds of butter per month, which is more than any othpr cow of any breed in South Carolina has produced in double-lettpr class. ' The o Palmetto - state produced the first 100-pound cow in Dixie, Bluu j Fox's Eminent Chromo, whose greatgranddaughter, Sensation's Mikado's Millie was the first world's record cow in Dixie, and whose niece, Blue; Fox's Eminent Queen, was the sec- j end world's record cow in Dixie. All j of these animals werb bred and made their records in this state, and all except the first were bred in Mr Young's herd at Timmonsville. Millie's recent feat is a new state record and gives her the added honor of being the first Jersey in this state to beat old Chrome's long-standing record. Last year Young's hefd added three other state championships for butterfat production. Mr. Young is a practical dairyman and a scientific breeder of purebred dairy cattle, and receives a good income from the sale of high-record stock in addition to the sale of dairy products. In the last year or two he has sold several' animals for over $1,000 each, and he is now selling whole milk in Florence through the ' Piggly Wiggly Stores. He uses mod- j $rn methods and equipment and ha.-! decently built a modern barn and -j new milk house.
