Forty-Seven Dollars Per Week From
Ten Cows.
Edwin C. Taylor, in "Southern Ru
ralist,” says:
We only have a small dairy of thir
teen eows; we make a specialty of
fancy butter and buttermilk. 1 go to
market three times a week. We have
a forty-five gallon barrel churn that
works backward and forward and gives
splendid results with least labor. Mon
day we had eleven gallons of cream
and made thirty-one pounds of gilt
edge butter churned in about thirty
minutes. On Wednesday we had twen
ty and one-half pounds, and on Friday
twenty and one-half pounds, making
seventy-two pounds of butter from ten
cows that we were milking, one a
heifer that lost her calf at seven
months when she was sixteen months
old. Two others are cows that will
have calves in July. The other cows
were freshened in February and
March. Most of my cows are thorough
bred Jerseys or high grade. We have
a cream separator, and from thirteen
gallons of milk this morning we got
three and one-half gallons of cream. 1
feed the heavy milkers in the winter
about a gallon of wheat bran and a
heaping quart of cotton seed meal
with about three gallons of cotton seed
hulls at a feed night and morning. The
cows are turned out on the range,
and get no other roughness the whole
year round. Heifers and the smaller
milkers do not get quite so much
grain. The most of the buttermilk is
sold to colored people, who come to
the house for it the day we churn at
15 cents a gallon. The skim milk from
the separator is put in stone jars hold
ing five gallons and allowed to clab
ber. On market mornings we put
all that is clabbered into the churn
and chum it for about ten or fifteen
mlntues, enough to thoroughly break
It up and make it smooth and thick,
and you ought to see how my custom
ers like it. I have no trouble in get
ting customers for every woman who
uses it tells her neighbors about it,
and I often have to refuse to sell to
' new people. I get 20 cents a gallon
for all the sour milk. Should any of
the milk get too sour to make good
buttermilk, we put it in a 100-pound
can and set on the back of the kitchen
stove until it is slightly warm, not
i hot—then empty into a cotton sack
and hang up to drain. We do this
at night, and next morning empty into
a big dish pan and put on a little salt
and some cream and then work it with
our hands like mixing bread until it
is smooth, and put a little over a pint
of the curd in a clean white cloth
and wrap it up and sell it for 10 cents
a package as cottage cheese or smear
kase. I have a great demand for it.
I get 35 cents a pound for butter. Last
week I sold 70 pounds of butter for
$24.50; 100 gallons of buttermilk, $20;
18 packages of smearkase, $1.80; 2 1-2
gallons sweet milk at 40 cents a gal
lon, $1. Total, $47.30, from ten cows
in one week. This week we will do
better, as we will have three more
fresh cows. I have two registered Jer
sey cows and a registered bull four
teen months old.
After a bit I expect to have a better
lot of cows than I have now. Have
one two-year-old heifer fresh about
three weeks that gives over four gal
lons of milk a day. We are town
people; have only been on the farm
for four years. My daughter, myself
and a colored boy do all the work;
have ten acres in bottom, four in corn,
one and one-half in Irish potatoes and
other garden stuff, and a strawberry
patch of one-fourth of an acre. I take
a half dozen farm papers, but the
Rurallst beats them all in practical
matter for the Southland.

Work of the Farmer.
The countlese millions of our popu
lation are fed and clothed by the
American farmer. The grain waving
In golden beauty upon the great
plains of the west, the cotton drifting
like summer snow upon the fields of
the south, freight the fleets of nations
and loose their sails, thread the' conti
nents with track of steel, fill the earth
with the roar of trains and heap for
trade and commerce and useful art
those stores that make a nation great.
Where are the sinews of our strength
If they are not found in our great,
diversified agricultural products? What
victorious hosts ever waved as Joyous
banners as those that float above the
tasseled maize from the snows of
Maine to the spicy groves of Califor
nia? What spirit of beauty hovers
above southern fields when fleecy bolls
uncover to crown "King Cotton!”—
Hon. Ezekiel S. Candler, Jr., of Mis
sissippi, in House of Representatives.
If our cotton crop can be sold at a
better price all are benefited. If $10
be added then for a twelve million
crop we have $120,000,000 added to re
sources of the South. This is to be
spent, and means better trade, more
deposits, more and better clothes, and
more money for all.
The man who values money above
the good things money will buy is af
flicted with blindness. Can we buy
a better thing than intelligence whicfi
will bring profit of a thousand fold in
material gala—and happiness besides? |
