a Talk about dairying. !
^Genesis and Evolution of this Important
Branch of Farming
At the fanners' institute re-j
-cently held in Kingstree, the ?ub-|
ject ofdairying was fully discussed. I
but in no case exhausted^for it is;
too important to be thus; carelessly :
tlisnosed of. ? *?'>
To our great-grandmothers the
dairy meant the pantry, or a boxlike
structure near the kitchen, :
\vhose sole purpose was to serve
as u receptacle for the milk:* ami
-even to the present day the word
'has no other significance. To
those, then, who have been so unfortunate,
let us address this essay
with the'hope that they will cast
about after truths which have
made this science and industry
truly great, and the only rural
stn genius. But before proceeding
we shall have to explain that
1? l.oe hucn nluttnmtttl V

discussed lime after time by the
Vj. 8. Department of Agriculture ,
and the State experiment station-.
To the average farmer the fact
*that dairying has out-grown all
other farming industries is inappreciable;
but to tell him that in
*10 other industry has there been
such an extensive application of
the teachings of modern science
as in dairy farming, would arouse
-his curiosity an J, perhaps, set
him to wondering why it is that
so little attention has been paid
to this gigantic industry in this
section of our State. All sorts of
institutions have been organized
10 supplement the Slate and Federal
government in fostering and
promoting the cause of this, the
most scientific and progressive
liranch of farming. From the
(Jays of ancient history to the
present time certain districts in '
different parts of the world have,
been devoted to daiiving as an
industry; but it was not until recently
that profitable extensive
dairying, due to the invention of
various mechanical devices, be
vninc icaoiui^i
Centuries ago our best daily
breeds were started upon the
Channel Islands, off the coast of
France, and, while good butter
may be made wherever good beef
can be made, it is always necessary
to have such a recluse nursery
if the prepotency of
good dairy strains a to be maintained.
To-day every part of the
lTnited States may be considered

J. A. Kreatner of Arkansas City, Kane, '
says: "My heart was so had it was impossible
forme to lie down, and I could
neither sleep nor rest. My decline was
rapid, and I realized I must get help
sooa. I was advised to try Dr. Miles'
Heart Cure, which I did, and candidly
believe it saved my life."

excellent for this sort oi husbandry,
and from out-of-the-way
and unexpected places creameries
send away thousands of pound? of
the golden compound bearing impression
stamps. It is useless to
discuss the. status of the dairy
during the first half of 1 he past
century; the antique forms and
methods then employed are assumed
to be already too familiar
to the majority of us; but at the
beginning of the last half of the
i/i.i. I.,,
Ji/lll UCIIIUI V U??iIV J [11 nil 11^ i>*rcame
a specialty and was no
longer con^idere 1 incidental to
the .good farm. It was about this
time that the famous Jersey cattle
were first imported into this
country; an event, which introduced
the great endeavor ot co-operative
dairying, the harbinger of
the cheese laclory. The products
of the latter institution more than
doubled in price per pound and
quadrupled in amount exported
during the five years of the war
between the .States. It was during
this period, also, that the ap
plication of mechanical devices to
the dairy was begun. From the
crock bowls of the early days we
passed to the shallow-pan svstem
for separating the cream, thence
to the deep can or shot-can system
where very cold temperature
(40?* ) must be maintained; and
finally, from this system, which
requires from twenty-four to thir
tv six hours for separation (which
at best would be only partial,
leaving five per cent, of cream,)
we passed to the rapid method of
centrifugal separation, which may
be done at all times, regardless of
temperature and with such rapidity
that all but 1-10 per cent, of
the fat can be removed from 250
gallons in one hour.
From the old dasher churn of
our ancestors we come by degrees
to the simple revolving churn of
to-day, capable of handling two
or three hundred pounds of milk
every fifteen minutes. Butter
workers are also numerous and
though at one time the patents
actually issued provided a new
churn every ten or twelve days
lor longer thqn seventy years, the
best and simplest worker yet produced
is the hand crank-and-roller
worker.
.Numerous devices have also
been patented for determining by
mechanical analysis ihe <at contents
of milk, but the best is the
Babcock centrifugal tester. Pasteurizers
have also been invented
for destroying the life of bacteria,
though this ami the tester will
not likely interest the average
farmer.
The methods of milking are,
however, unchanged, and Mr,
Henry K. Alvoid, N. S. B. A. J.,
has estimated that it would required
300,000 men working
twelve hours per day throughout
the year to milk all of the cows
kept tor the purpose in this
country.
Despitethe trust and associated
system ol butter making, however,
there is yet more butter made 011
the farm than in the creamery.
In other words, approximately ten
hundred million pounds of the
animal hotter production of tiie
United States are from the farm,
while the other four hundred millions
are the product of the 8,000
factories.
And now that Americans are
the greatest butter eating people
in the world it becomes our duty
to palliate the oppression of the
oleomargarine law by making
more butter and driving the beef
product front the market.
I feel that the editor wiil appreciate
any further contributions
upon the daiiy question as much
as will Anno Tator.

Crops are badly; hurt by the!

Mr. B. A. Gaskins of I^eo was
the first no'ed on the mail route
to make molases this season. He
began boiling about ths 1st or 2d
of August. From a small piece
of land he made 3S gallons, and
but for the lack of rain he says
he would have made 50 gallons.
Mr. Gaskins is also the first
tarmer I saw picking cotton. Had
tie not been hindered lie says he
would have gotten a bale by Saturday
night. He is an enterprising
farmer and is up-to-date in
