Mr. L. A. Ransom, who ts well mown In the South on account of his onsplcuous work In agricultural maters and his connection with the South | 'arollna department of agriculture, nd now with the Southern Cotton Oil lompanjr, as District Manager, at Atinta, Qa., In writing about the influnce of cotton seed products on the deelopment of dairying in the South, ays: "About 1850, a few wealthy and enerprlsing Southern planters Imported time Devon cattle from England, 'hese were turned loose In canerakes with the native scrubs and aimed to roam over large areas of rooded country, picking up a precarlus living on the scant Dasturaare at ardcd by the woods freshly burned ver by the forest fires In the spring. Jthough widely scattered and a few i number, the prepotency of this breed ras so great that in many sections the vidence of this infusion of good blood ' still visible In the stock. "No well-to-do planter at that time onsldered that he had milch cows nough to supply the wants ot his famy unles he owned at least twenty-five r thirty head. These droves of halfrlld and half-famished animals were >cated towards nightfall Toy the rlngig of a bell hung around the neck of he leader. They were driven to the ow-pen, sometimes miles from where hey were found In the woods, a spasmodic effort was made to extract milk rom them, penned up over night, and second attempt made upon them the ext morning. The 'average yield* was bout one quart per cow. "The idea of Increasing this produclon by judicious feeding was not bought of. This was the rule, but of ourse there were notable exceptions, 'eople who did not own unlimited acres f land, and who appreciated milk nd butter, took better care of their ows, fed them regularly, and allowed hem to pasture during the day on heir neighbor^* land. This posturing ras more to give them proper exerlse, and keep them healthy than to fford them any means of subsistence. 7o such an extent had the cattle inerests of South Carolina in 1880 deprelated that the repairs to the farm ence cost more than the value of the attle in the State, and the probability s that the same was equally true of learly all the Southern States." Then came the "No Fence Law," vhlch compelled the owners to fence he cattle Instead of the crops. This orced the farmers to own good milch ows, or none at all, as it became too xpensive to feed poor stock. About his time, or perhaps a little earlier, ippeared the "Jersey" on the scene, a >reed of cattle as suited to the needs >f those who were "too poor to own a :ow, and too proud to milk a goat." 3ut this beautiful little animal soon lemonstrated that she was not a quitter,", and, furthermore, that she 'filled a long felt want," and, with jroper attention, gave rich returns on >sr r>Aci o n/1 lrnnn nn/1 111"" **? )/, uiiU| iinc iiic ai ion" nan's pig (hat he raised In the caTrm with his children, she "paid the rent" is well as the freight. As compared, with the Devon, she was smaller In statue and gave less milk, but the projortlon of cream to water In what she lid give, far exceeded that of the Deron, the Durham, and Holateln, and she promptly became the prime favorte of small families and butter-mak;rs. Rut she could not live without reed, and butter could not be produced profitably on corn meal, wheatbran, or :o\vpea diet, nor could It be produced it all on what the Jersey oould pick up in the pastures. Nature, always lavish, but provident, tiid away coal In the earth for ages, >nly to be uncovered when the world needed It most, pointed the way to the jold 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 deJtroyed the fertility of the fields, likewise she held back the material rejuired to make dairying in the South possible and profitable, until conditions were favorable for its use. The advent of the Jersey cow ere?ted a demand for a cheap and rich rood, which the oil mills supplied with nulls 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 muc %jl cuiiuu uffu nuns ion me sit me purpose above the best tlmcsthy hay. rhe use of these products Hos fnlly mstained the department'* reports, ind dairy farming Is fast b^conrtfng an ndustry of importance, and this has been largely the result of the lftoeral policy of the Southern Cotton Oil Co. jf the Carolinas and Georgia, which pas headquarters at Columbia, S. C.. Atlanta, Qa., Savannah, Ga. and Charotte, N. C., Goldsboro, N. C., and Augusta, Ga. Around the large cities In the South, lairies 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 sufflcierit to consume all the milk and butter that can be produced, pnd the use of meal for fertilizing the land, which Is sold reasonably by the Southern Cotton Oil Company, has Kreatly 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 nn interesting extent amd 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 ths compound Is a wholesome product. The establishment of co-operative factories for its manufacture in the vicinity of oil mills where reflneA oil ran be had would give a tremendous Impetus to dairying in the South.
