H. HOWELL, Field Agt. Dairying, Ga. State College Of Agri. Georgia must have bettor cows. Only one-third of them pny for the feed they oat. A profitable dairy cow inherits ability to give a large nmount of milk, through right breeding. The scrub sire is responsible for most of the robber cows. That a well-bred bull will get daugh ters that will be better ntilcli cows than- were their dams, is proven by the records. The best information available deal ing with the transmission of dairy characteristics by the bull, to his daughters conies from the Jersey herd of Prof. C. H. Eckles, of the Mis souri Experiment Station, where com plete butterfat records have been kept of every cow since 1892. The first bull used was Missouri Kiotcr from a good sire but a mediocre dam. The daughters gave less milk, and fat than their dams. In every case, the daughter was inferior to her dam. The next bull used was Hugorotus, a cheap bull without- any higli class animals in his- pedigree. Tills bull had elevon daughters with a total of fifty lactation periods with dams with sixty-two lactation periods. The rec ords are as follows: Dams. Daughters. Average yield of milk . . . 4,969 lbs. 4,607 lbs. Average per cent of fat. . . 4.66 6.49 Average yield of fat in lbs. Prof. Horticulture, T. H. McHatton, Ga. State College Of Agriculture. Orcharda should be planted In Geor gia before Christmas, though they are sometimes plahted later. Get the plants delivered about the last of No vember. When they arrive heel or bank them till ready to set out. This is done by digging a trench on the norths side of a hill or house, putting the roots of the trees therein and cov- erlxi^W Peaches apd trees that grow to sim ilar-size should be set about 20 feet apart each way, pears twenty-five feet apart; apples 36 to 40 feet apart and pecans 50 feet apart. Dig a hole about two feet square and two feet deep, pecans 3 to 4 feet deep. Put tho top boII and some well decomposed barnyard. manure, or a pound or more of cottonseed meal or bone meal In the bottom of tlie hole mixing well. Prune off all twisted nnd broken roots from the trecB, set in center of the hole and begin to fill . with top soli. Puck down thoroughly as the dirt is being thrown in. Pill higher than the surrounding surface. The tree will show how deep it has been in the nursery; Do not set in the orchard more than one inch deeper than that. After'planting, prune the treo back. Peaches’ should be left from 1 foot to 18. inches and apples 16 inches to 2 feet high. Varieties for Georgia.
