1t is an old faIlacy to suppose that
the swill for pigs should be sour, and
yet the mistake until the last few
years was almost universal. for we
were all taught that swill to be at its
best must stand around i'm "a barrel
at the back door or near the pig pen
until all the flies. in the neighb0rhOod
had collected around t. BY what
course of reasoning this method was
proved TO be the only correct one it is
hard to guess. but the fact remains
that even in this advanced day ana age
you will find men who tell you that the
skim milk must be thoroughly soured
before being fed to pigs. Why do
they not adopt this same plan in
feeding their young calvesl Sour
skim milk IS north Just e.cdctiy one
hdJ rs much for feeding as The same
t0ouLt hare been north fed street, and
the reason in brief is this. In one
hundred pounds of skim milk there is
from eight to ten pounds OF solid mat
ter little over half Of which is milk
sugar. Now in the process of souring,
this milk is converted into acid and is
not only useless as food for man or
beast, but If anything, will tend to
reduce the fat. All know that there
is nothing in vinegar or lemon juice
that will make a man fat. 1t is clear
then that when the sugar made up one
half of the value in the beginning, the
milk has lost just half its value.
One gallon of sweet milk is worth
two gallons of sour.

THE DIFFERENCE.

The following is part of the adj
dress delivered by President II. C.
Adams before the Wisconsin Dairy
men S Association in January:
The Wisconsin dairymen have had
balanced ration of success and failure
during the year 1887. The misfortune
of unparalleled drOuth in two-thirds of
the state was mitigated largely by the
better blood rapidly coming into our
dairies, by the increased area of fOd-
der crops, by the closer saving of all
available products of the farm, by the
introduction of the silO, by the marked
extension OF knowledge about han
ding, feeding, watering and housing
dairy stock, by the more extended use
of good dairy implements, by the more
general adoption of the best method of
handling milk and selling its products
and by the higher range of prices for
the year.
This increase in prices has amount
ed TO cents per pound upon butter
and has made the 40,000,00 pounds
produced in Wisconsin worth $500. 900
more than the preceding year. The
price of cheese has been higher than
in 1885. The difference has raised the
average price cents per pound max
ing total gain i'll our receipts for
cheese of about $560,000. As rule
the loses caused by drouth have fallen
most heavily upon that class of men
known as mixed farmers, but being
wholly dependent upon their cows they
were not prepared to supplement their
shTiveled pasturage with grain or corn
fodder and very generally permitted
their cows to shrink in their yield, 90
dry or 90 to the butcher. The mixed
farmer is always dead weight on a
dairy average. He h" : a superstitiOus
terror of carry ing all OF his eggs IN
one basket. He is always long on bas-
kets and short on eggs. He does not
believe in specialities. His reasoning
is as mixed as his farming. He gener-
ally claims that he is not smart enough
to get living out of one line of farm
ing but is amply qualified to carry on
all lines. His logic is-a fool may
know eyerything-a wise man one
thing. lie is the man who is mainly
| responsible for the fact that Wisconsin
COWS average less than l25 pounds of
butter per head each year.
III lOuiu nutlDCls We nave OUt.UUt
cows in the state. If all of this milk
was made into butter it would make
less than 76.000,000 poInds. Under
the average treatment of soils and ami
mails it takes acres to carry each COW
a year or 2 100000 acres TO carry all of
our cows.
This is yield of 81 pounds of butter
per acre, conceding that the value of
the skimmilk and the calf and the
manure produced by each COW is equal
in value to her butter product we
would have a yield per acre equal to 50
pounds of butter. At Is cents per
pound the average price for 1885, this
would give an animal gross revenue
per acre each year of 1922. And this
upon an estimate more liberal than
the fact will warrant. When we re-
collect that the average man who
makes a business of daiTying gets
from Us to 200 pounds of butter per
cow and keeps her on three acres and
the good dairyman gets $50 pounds of
butter per COW and keeps her on two
acres we can see that the mixed far
mer will never break any eggs in his
dairy basket for he never has any.

The words are presented in five groups

These lists are not to supplement the
