Heavy receipts in Texas cau not continue much longer, as supplies there are practically exhausted. With the organization of a power¬ ful syndicate to protect the spot situation against the present un¬ warranted bear raid, practically every bait of cotton remaining u li¬ sold can be tied up.

Produced Nearly 600,000 Gal Ions of Milk and 150,000 Pound* Butter in 1905. According to a report on “Rec¬ ords of Dairy Cows in tlie United States,” recently issued by the de partment of agriculture, there is no business that brings greater profit from the amount invested than that of dairying. Where intelligent methods are adopted it is shown that for every dollar invested in feed for cows from two to three dollars is real¬ ized from the milk and butter products. There isn’t any doubt that dairy farming on a large or small scale is profitable and every year finds a greater number of people directing their attention to the business. The Enterprise is glad to note the impetus that has been given this most important industry here in Newton county in the last two or three years. It is approximate¬ ly estimated that this county pro¬ duced last year 600,000 gallons of milk and 150,000 pounds of butter, which at the prevailing juices rep resent in value more than $100,000. Mr. W. P. Odum is perhaps the largest dairy farmer in this section of the state and for the past sever al years he has paid considerable attention to the improvement of his dairy cattle, which he finds is resulting in increased profits from his farm. Mr. Odum’s farm lies between Covington and Oxford and he supplies Covington, Oxford, Porterdale and the Covington Mills, the combined population of which is >u the neighborhood oi 6,000, with the products of his dairy. has at present 82 high-grade Jer ; soy cows, from which the annual returns are about as follows: But f el ‘> <,860 lbs., value $1,840; milk 21,900 gallons, value $2,628. ——-—--- WOMAN’S CLUB HELD INTERESTING MEETING.
