UTILIZING WASTES OF THE DAIRY.


Valuable Suggestions by Prof. w. w.
Cooke of the Experiment Station.
The third lecture in the course for farm
ers at the experiment station was delivered
Tuesday afternoon by Prof. w, W Cooke
who spoke on utilizing the wastes Of the
dairy. President Buckham, who introduced
the speaker said the subject involved an
important principle. 1t is what is saved
that counts in the end. He referred to
the fact that in England old Stag is being
worked over for the iron that was wasted
in former ages. Wherever he had seen saw
mills in a timbcred country there were to
be found large piles of lumber, which might
be utilized, and the same was true to n GER
tain extent of various industries.
Prof. Cooke said there were 800 900, 900
pounds of milk produced in Vermont, of
which 80, 600, 900 went to the creameres,
80, 000, 600 to the cheese factories, and
$50, 600 900 was made into butter on the
farms. The value OK the milk annually
produced in Vermont after the butter and
cheese were taken out was about 81 200
600. The speaker then referred to the
butter extractor exhibited at the State
daiymen' S meeting, and spoke OF the feeding
value of the various ingredients of whole
and skinned milk, buttermillS and whey.
He compared the animal food in grain with
that in milk and whey, and showed that
skinned milk was worth 16 to Is cents per
100 pounds, buttermilk - cents, and whe y
eight to nine cents. He did not know
whether or not it was profitable to feed
milk or whey to cows.
Prof. Cooke asked at this point why feed
ing SKINNED milk to COWS had fallen into
disrepute. Several spectators answered
that they had obtained good results from
such feeding.
Mr. Hiram Walston of Wiliston said
that he thought his cows held out better
during the winter with milk feeding than
with the same value of grain.
At the experiment station two calves
were fed whole milk weeks to see whether
or not it would pay, and it required milk
which " oIld have made 40 pounds of butter
and the SKINNED milk would have sold for
Sl20. They sold the calves which weighed
| 1850 pounds each at five cents pound live
weight, receiving S16 for the two. The
milk paid at the rate of / cents for butter
while they were selling butter for % cents,
SO that they could not say that it paid
Prof Cooke thought whole milk should
be fed for veal but where calves We're {
be raised for cows skinned milk could be
fed with good results.
When three weeks old calf is ready tc
eat hay, handful of oil meal a day and
skinned milk. slightly warmed He
thought the farmer could not get back more
than 10 cents hundred for the milk fed tc
| calves to be raised.
Prot Cooke then spoke at length on feed
ing pigs for profit, giving the results Of the
experiments conducted at the experiment
station which have already been SUMMARY
ed in the columns of the FREE PRESS.

THOSE PIGS.


swer to Mr.. Bliss.
To the Editor of the Free Press:
In this mornings paper appears an ar
ticle from Mr.. o. S. Bliss in regard to our
late bulletin pig feeding. Mr.. Bliss says
he has carefully studied the bulletin, but
nevertheless he has missed the germ idea of
the whole test and that is that we were
studying how much increase of weight is
made on given food and how much that
increase costs per pound. For the purposes
of this experiment it makes no difference
what the pigs cost. The pigs at a certain
time come into our pens, they weigh a GER
tain amount and cost some money.
Now, the question to be answered is how
fast will they grow on the food given and
how long can we keep them before they will
cease to give profit on the food consumed.
If they cost hundred dollars apiece it
would not affect the question Of the proper
time to market them. If Mr.. Bliss will read
the figures carefully he will see that the
original weight of the pigs was deducted
from tho weight at time of killing and that
all the calculations are based on the result
obtained from the feed we gave them.
The last proposition of Mr.. Bliss is that
taking our own figures the weight of the
pig could be doubled before selling and then
make more money than to start on a new
pig, i. e., six pigs weighing $50 pounds
apiece would be more profitable shan l2
pigs of $50 pounds apiece. In the first place
we can throw out Of account the fertili2lng
value, because that will be the same from
the same food whether fed to large or small
pigs. Our experiment shows that as the
pig grows older it takes II constantly in
creasing amount of food to make a pound of
gain. From 155 to 20S pounds average
live weight took 4 50 cents worth of food
for each pound of gain.
Then five cents worth of food would be a
low estimate of the amount required for
each pound of gain from this to $50 pounds,
and it probably would run over six cents,
but at five cents a pound it would take SOL
worth of food to grow them from $50
pounds to $50 pounds They actually did
eat S2S Sc worth of food to grow from %
pounds to $50 pounds. The price of $lS for
six pigs as set by Mr.. Bliss is also high and
he would have no trouble in putting six pigs
at 20 pounds apiece into his pens for SO,
and if he raised them, as he should, instead
of buying, he would be making a good profit
on them at $40. But taking the S1S the l2O
pounds they weighed would bring at the final
sale IS. lS at A. 32 cents per pound, leaving
net cost Of S12S2. This added to the
$2S.S6 worth of food gives S4l.6S as the
gross cost of raising a second set of six pigs
weighing $50 pounds apiece, against sd,
the cost of keeping the first set until they
doubled in weight. So that making al
suggestions in favor of Mr.. Bliss view, he
| is still 81. 80 behind hand financially and
has an inferior quality of pork on hand &c
be m arketed at a reduced price.

ANSWERED HIS QUESTIONS.
Mr.. Harrison Hears From the Census De
partment.


'.Your paper has been successful in caus-
ing the department at Washington 10 reply
to my repeated inquiries about my census
work." SAID Mr.. Garter Harrison % a
TINES reporter yesterday afternoon.
Il received a letter from W ashingtOn to-
day giving me fun explanation of the
ambiguous questiOns.n reference 10 the to-
baccO statistics. The question which ]
could not understand IN reference To the
amount of taxes paid has been changed, as
| suggested, by placing the internal rev
enuc taxes under separate question from
the State and city taxes
This makes il very clear now. The internal
revenue tax is a biz item with tobacco
manufacturers. for sometimes IL amounts
10 as much as all Of the other expenditures
combined. The other question where "a
decided ambiguity occurred was under the
head of the number of hands employed ON
piece-wOrk and amount earned, This was
no. clear. because sub-emplOyes are en-
plOyed in tobacco factories by regular EN-.
piOyes. The regular empl0yc pays bis
employees out OF his salary. and The pro-
prietOr in many cases. does not know how
many sub-emplOyes are connected with
their factory or how much they areTaid.
In this case the Department instructs
both regular and sub-employes. and the
amounts earned by each.
Although tobacco is the main manuiac-
turing interest in the city, Mr.. Harrison has
received no special schedules for this work
whatever, and has received special sched-
ules for all of the other manufactures, in
Guiding many OF far less importance.
The only obstacle in Mr.. HarrsOn's way
now is the delay in appointing his assist.
ants. lie forwarded the names Of the per-
SONS he wished TO have appointed several
weeks ago and the department has not re-
piled 10 him. In the face Of this they have
sent him the names of several manufac-
tories in Manchester with offices in Rich
mond to enlist upon bis reports of Rich
mOnd statistics.
During his visits Mr.. Harrison has met
with one manufacturer who positively re-
fused to answer the questions. lie is one
of the largest manufacturers in his line IN
the United states, but says that the Govern
ment has no right to demand these ques-
tons, and he will not answer them. Mr..
Harrison was compelled TO report the case
TO the United States authorities here, who
will take action upon it in a short time.
Notwithstanding all these obstacles, Mr..
Harrison is going ahead with his work very
well under the circumstances. lie visits
the factories in the morning. and does his
Office work in the afternoon.
