Centrifugal IMilh for Calves,

Mr.. j. n Muncey, OF Jesup Iowa, writes the
Dairy World: Ii is a well settled point among
the farmers of this locality that the skim-milk
from the new milk hauled to the separator
once a day is not tirst-cass for feeding calves.
A number condemn the separated milk, as
Stunning that the machine affects its feeding
value. This is great mistake. The difficulty
fore 1t is sent to the separator. In cold
weather, when the milk is taken to the factory
once day, the rules of the company here do
not require that the new milk be Immediately
cooled to 60 degrees, or that it be cooled ut all
The consequence is that at many times the
new milk is partly sour before it runs through
the separator, and all other milk with which it
is mixed is, of course, damaged for feeding
calves. The fault is not with the machine al
