. Biennial report of the Department of Agriculture. Agriculture. TENNESSEE AGRICULTURE 311. Dairy Herd of Mr. George J. Everston in Wilson County. (Cut loaned by Mr. A. J. Casey, Lebanon.) estimates were made for farms with incomplete reports wiiich was done at the present census. The figures for milk produced and milk sold are particularly affected, but those for butter and cheese are ap- proximately comparable. There was a material increase between 1899 and 1909 in the amount of butter made, and relative increase in the production of cheese. The total number of sheep of shearing age in Tennessee on April 15, 1910, was 470,000, representing an increase of per cent as compared with the number of June i, 1900, 308,000. The approxi- mate production of wool during 1900 was 496,000 fleeces, weighing 1,854,000 pounds and valued at $466,000. Of these totals about one- fifth represents estimates. The number of fleeces produced in 1909 was per cent greater than in 1899. The average weight per fleece in 1909 was pounds as compared with four pounds in 1899, and the average value per pound was twenty-five cents, as compared with nineteen cents in 1899. Altthough 4,859 farmers reported 43,360 goats and kids on their farms, April 15, 1910, only 115 reported the production of goat hair or mohair during 1909., These farmers reported 1,342 fleeces, weigh- ing 3,428 pounds and valued at $1,053.
