THE VIEWS OF AN EXPERT. j
What Hat Been Dona in Development ,
at Dairying and Stocking Raiting. |
Mr. L A. Ransom, who Is well
known In the South on account of his
conspicuous work In agricultural matters
and his connection with the South
Carolina department of agriculture,
and now with the Southern Cotton OH
Company, as District Manager, at Atlanta,
Oa., In writing about the Influence
of cotton seed products on the development
of dairying In the South,
aays:
"About I860, a few wealthy and en
lerpnnng 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 precarioud
living on the scant pasturage afforded
by the woods freshly burned
ever by the forest fires in the spring.
Although widely scattered and a few
in number, the prepotency of this breed
was so great 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 milck cows
enough to supply the wants of his family
unles he owned a$ 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. Tfiey were driven to the
cow-pen, sometimes miles from where
they were found in the woods, a spasmodic
effort was made to extract milk
from them, penned up over night, and
a second attempt made upon them the
next morning. The 'average yield' was
about one quart per cow.
"The idea of Increasing this production
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
cows, fed them regularly, and allowed
them to pasture during the day on
their neighbor^* land. This pasturing
was more to 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 South Carolina in 1880 depre
elated that the repairs to the farm
fence cost more than the value of the
cattle In the State, and the probability
is that the same was equally true of
nearly all the Southern States."
Then came the "No Fence Law,"
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 became too
expensive to feed poor stock. About
this time, or perhaps a little earlier,
appeared the "Jersey" on the scene, a
breed of cattle as suited to the needs
of those who were "too poor to own a
cow, and too proud to milk a goat."
But this beautiful little animal soon
demonstrated that she was not a
"quitter,", and, furthermore, that she
"filled a long felt want," and, with
proper attention, gave rich returns on
her cost and keep, and, like the Irish*
man's pig that he raised in tne cainu
with his children, she "paid the rent"
as well as the freight. As compared
with the Devon, she was asmaller In
statue and gave less milk, b?t the proportion
of cream to water In what she
did give, far exceeded that of the Devon,
the Durham, and Holstein, and
she prompter became the prime favorite
of small families and butter-makers.
But she could not live without
feed, and butter could not be produced
profitably on corn meal, wheatbran, 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 precious
metal was absolutely required for the
world's commerce, and covered from
sight the phosphate rock of the Carolinas
until improvident man had destroyed
the fertility of the fields, likewise
she held back the material required
to make dairying In the South
possible and profitable, until conditions
were favorable for its use.
The advent of the Jersey cow created
a demand for a cheap and rich
food, which the oil mills supplied with
hulls and meal. In a list of fifty of
the leading feed materials of the United
States, the National Department of
Agriculture ranks cotton seed meal
first, In feeding value and places the
value of cotton seed hulls for the same
purpose abovq the best timothy hay.
The use of these products has felly
sustained the department's reports,
and dairy farming la fadt becoming an
Industry of Importance, and this has
been largely the result of the liberal
policy of the Southern Cotton Oil Co.
of the Carolines and Georgia, which
has headquarters at Columbia, S. C.,
Atlanta, Ga., Savannah, Ga. and Charlotte,
N. C., Goldaboro, N. C., and Augusta,
Ga.
Around the large cities In the South,
dairies are successfully operated, supplying
the people with wholesome
milk, and rich golden butter from cows
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 possible, and profitable,
as the demand from the operatives
is sufficient to consume all the
milk and butter that can be 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 oil 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
compound Is a wholesome product.
The establishment of co-operative factories
for its manufacture in the vicinity
of oil mills where refined oil
can be had would give a tremendous
Impetus to dairying In the South.
