Any plant within .ninety-five mlies of-Moultrie can ship a'ten gallon can of cream to the plant for fifteen cents and have the can returned free of charge thus- making a cost of a cent and a half a gallon—less than one cent per pciml for the batter fat. Now wnat does this mean to the farmer for his milk? It means that an average cow will give two and'a half gallons of milk a day, will yield litte over a pound of butter fat, which is somewhat over thirty cents day for the cream, and thirty cents day means nine dollars a - month for the cream alone. In a year’s time that will mean $108 for the cream,- while the akfin milk; the far tilizer and the calf Will- be an addi tional big income from that cow; for the skim milk is worth from three to five cents a gallon as a feed to the pigs, the fertilizer is worth from ten to twenty dollars'a year from a cow, and finally, the calf is worth from ten to one hundred dollars at a year old, depending on the breed and sex of the calf.

The limit should on valuation and not per acre. Now Mr. Editor, If you think thli i value aa a contribution ,.foi farmer can get from one cow: the cream, the skim milk, the fertilizer and the calf. The cow will more than pay for herself with the cream in a year, she will more than pay for her feed with the cream; leaving all the rest as a clear profit, and the joy of it all is that a check comes regu larly once a month and supplies that family with spending money through the year. Of course it is big or little in proportion to the number of cows. Up to now the cows have been yield ing each a little over six dollars month average, and many of them have but recently been shipped in, and of course are not in full milk yet. It does not cost much to get into the dairy game. All a farmer needs is one or more cows, a separator, and two or three milk cans. The cow will cost from forty to seventy-five dollars, and the creamery will help any reliable farmer buy that cow on loop time; trseparator can be bought from twenty-four to fifty dollars, and the rceamery will sell any rail able farmer that separator on credit the cans will cost from one to two and a half dollars each, and, if nec essary the creamery will tee that the farmer %et* those cane on time. Any farmer within ninety-five miles of Moultrie can get into the dairy business that wants to. and ad. dress tbe Moultrie Creamery, or B.

Four acres of corn yielded^ twenty bushels, per acre, and three other acres made two tons of hay an acre.' Another ~ Arkansas farmer raised thirty bush els of corn anacre on twenty-five acres and sold 750 hushels at 75 cents a bushel. A Louisiana -farmer bought fours' " teen acres of cut-over land a few- years ago, paying $7.50 an acre. He made $2,000 in a single year from , . this tend, once he had gotten it un der cultivation. This represented, . in effect, 2000 per cent increase ov er the original investment. A Louis iana specialty, which has put many dollars into the pockets of owners rf newly cleared land, is peanuts. In this state, cut-over land, originally costing from $8 to $25 an acre, com monly yields sixty bushels of peanuts ;ir acre. A farmer bought a tract of 240 acres in Montana, which was com pletely covered with stumps, logs end brush, at $25 an acre. This land was cleared and cultivated, and in a year produced at the rate of 110 butheir of oats per acre and over twenty-two tons of corn per aerm This farmer also grew all kinds of grasses, vegetables and fine fruit. .
