The department has forwarded a number of bulletins bearing on the subject and has asked that as much publicity be given the matter as possible, we are re pioduciog below a part of the in formation that appeal most to us EXTRACTS FROM THE BULLETIN. The present depression in the cotton market has led the farm ers to consider the adyisablility of growing other crops than cotton. This is a good time to change f-om the one crop system to diversified agricul tare, and many are seeking in formation in regard to the pos sibilities of dairying, especially the establishment ot creameries. Prosperity has coma to many agricultural communities by the successful operation of cream rls, but, on the other hand, many farmers have lost money by Investing in creameries of expensive equipment in localities " not prepared to operate a. cream ery successfully.

The number of available cows In a commuuity is generally overestimated. If whole milk is to be handled it is not abvisab'e to Include in this estimate herds at a greater distance than 5 miles from the creamery. If cream is bandied neras 1U miles irom toe cream ery can be Included, A creamery must make at least an average of 1,200 pounds of butter a week in oider to keep the expenses reasonably low. This will require about 1,000 pounds of butter fat. The smaller the output the greater the cost per pound of manufactured butter, for some of the expenses wilt remain about the fame whether the dal ly output is 100 or 200 pounds, CAUSES OF FAILURE. There are many closed cream eries in United States. Some of these wore built where tue people were not well informed on conditions necessary for the operation of a creamery. In most cases there were not cows en ough to supply milk; in others failure was due to inexperience in making and marketing cream ery products. Some of these creameries were . organized by promoters whose whole interest was to sell the machinery and equipment at a high commission! The stockholders in these crearr- eries generally found that ticy had paid a great deal more for the plant than if they had built it themselves. Personals tion is that not so much of the commercial product will be used this year. the four months old child of Mr. and Mrs. J. W Walker died at their home on Gaston street and was buried Monday.
