I had been farm- . ing more than twenty years before *I took any Bpeclal Interest In mil It. 11 cows, being satisfied with the k owl- . .edge that we Were Bure of all the *y • ‘ gopd mllk we needed for home use ^ arid some surplus. h ® :But about two years ago I attend- . ” “ ed a lecture dellverc by Mr White e®. at Shawnee. Mr. White Is the agrl- .,. culeural agent of the Frlsfco railroad. -r-It is his business to vllj points on the system for the purpose of stlinu-ating intrest In the best methods ofdoing things among the farmers. Jr-?*was much interested Mr. Whits P.‘a“ lecause he was not one of the eye- f glass arid belly-band type of farm expert so often mot. He is a prac-tlcril farmer who has won fame and fortune by hi method of farming apiece of southwest Missouri land. r™*'He was at Shawnee by invitation land spoke fn favor of establishing !a™® creameries In Oklahoma He told of how difficalt. it Whs to establish “°®8 the,first creamery at Springfield, Mo.

That meeting . was a failure, but the repreSenta- “■“*fives of the Frisco set a date rit once, ®a8 1 notifying the farmers that the Frisco cn® * Would entertain them with a dinner, “• Wnd show them It was possible 1•run a c . eamery with South' est Mis- ““r aonrl cows. And so the; did, and aPUUU WWW* AUU WIUJ, 1^ 4Mr, White ays there Is hanging on well of that creamery today, afrom thi firm in Boston ’i;B®-W bbugllt the first car load of hut-ter froim that creamery, that it was _the beat car of butter they had ever “handled up that time, and they ‘ had handled thousands of car loads.Surely those SonthweBt Missouri cows were vindicated;While we owned a few Jersey cows ; for, several rears before that time, T *®®Came home arid began eadlnr up on ;mil cow a little. I soon run across a statement of a cow’s record where *“rer she bad glvei alghteer . thousand ®pounds of millc in one year. I laid heyeithe article dow and mentally cal- “*»“culated at if the cow id not weigh ®^n •mote then mlae ■hundred pounds she lOgave in milk twenty times herweight In one year. Suspfy that “™®stumped me, but I believed it, I amalwayB ready to believe any good. ‘ ,of tiI have been “noticing” our cows aususince, and I believe there ier no place In the XT.

We have a little cow ™ in weighing seven hundred and fifty pr c pounds, that we have been looking for good results from, and she has made good. She gave fifteen bun- ^ dred pounds of milk in May, and her feed was our native pasture and n good feed of cotton seed and bran ana mixed, once a day. I raised her per here on* the farm lt;and would never nssly have discovered that she could gi\M uern£ twice her Weight of milk in one ^ncl month but for Mr. White. Manythanks to him. J. P.
