Mr W. S. Whitworth and wife =E
were in Bastrop .>aturday and ^
attended the Dairying Associa- EE
tion. Mrs. Whitworth made a =E
very inter* ting talk with refer- ==
ence to her cows and chickens. EE
| She owns a separator and says ==
'she has been using it for two EE
year.1 with great success. She =■
thinks that any person owning a EE
few cattle should by all means =•
own a separator because ii Ies- EE
sens the work v-t.v materially in EE
handling the milk. She is using =
ihe skimmed milk to feed hogs EE
and chickens. At present she ~
has about 1- hogs which she is EE
feeding with the skimmed milk. EE
She is going to give more time E£
and attention in the future to EE
the marketing of cream instead
of butter, which she has been do- EE
ing heretofore. ~
Mrs. Whitworth made one of EE
the most interesting talks that EE
has been made in our farmers' =E
meeting here in the Chamber of
Commerce. She gave us f no lis
and facts from her actual exper-
ience which after all is worth
more than anv one's theorv
When asked what she thought
of cows on the farm, she replied,
" I hey are very .lecessary, as you
can not raise chickens, hogs or
children without milk." She hit
tile nail on the head as sqimreh
; as any philosopher could have.
