Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 41, Number 98, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 27 August 1909 — THE DAIRY INDUSTRY IN MISSISSIPPI. [ARTICLE]

THE DAIRY INDUSTRY IN MISSISSIPPI.

Dairy men know the effect of cold windy days upon the production of milk. Mississippi winters are without snow and with but little ice. Mr. H. B. Gurler, president of the dairy exhibition held annually in Chicago, sold his farm in Illinois and bought in Mississippi, where he now gets Elgin prices for his butter. Joseph E. Wing, expert agriculturist, is responsible for the following: “The writer has himself sent alfalfa hay to a gentleman milking one of the best herds of Guerenseys in America, animals fed as well as science and skill could devise, and had word afterward that the addition of alfalfa hay to their ration made an increase of 20 'per cent in the yield of milk.” The undersigned has several thousand acres of choice alfalfa lands for sale at S2O to S4O per acre.
