WHEY AND WHEY.
One Kind Fattens Pigs and Calves, the

One Kind Fattens Pigs and Calves, the
Other is Worthless.
A year or SO ago, when dressed pork
was bringing four dollars and five dol
lars per hundredweight, dairymen pork
raisers here said that it was beneath the
cost Of production. If that is the case
the six dollars and seven dollars now
paid can leave only narrow margin of
profit. Not long ago / visited dairy
farmer in the next town south of me,
and found him standing on barrel to
bind his shocks of tall corn. Passing
his hog yard, noticed some very large,
fat porkers stretched on the sward.
"What are you fattening these hogs
with?' inquired.
II give them nothing but whey from
the factory" was the reply, "but they
have plenty of it,"
This would have been revelation to
some farmers, who always have lank,
squealing shoats. do not recommend,
however, that pork should be grown ex-
clusively on dairy swill, for the meat is
apt to be soft though sweet. Good,
clean, rich dairy swill, like buttermilk.
sour milk and whey, together with
shorts and little cornmeal, will make
q pig develop physically as rapidly as it
should, and insure firm, sweet pork.
Many dairy farmers in this state are
producing pork for home consumption
very cheaply by the judicious use of the
waste from their diaries. If the course
they pursue could be emulated by all it
would produce quite revolution here in
swine growing methods. Half of the
dairymen, through the negligence and
fault of cheese manufacturers, are fur
nished regularly with an inferior quality
of whey that is worth only half value
for hog feeding. Rankly soured whey
is an abomination in the. pigs trough,
for it possesses about as much value for
swine food as would potatoes and salt for
human diet. A slight degree of acid
IN whey is essential to give it good feed
ing value, but when it is so sour that it
will sparkle and foam it is not an eco
nomical diet to give to swine.
l think that it would behoove every
dairyman to estimate as nearly as posi-
bic this fall the actual cost of the pork
that he has raised. To compare this re-
suit with the market value of the meat
would cause the producer to do some in
teresting thinking. Farmers who make
milk production speciality, and who
pratronize cheese factories, should insist
on having a good quality of whey fur.
nished them. Manufacturers should
provide better tanks for storing whey.
and the whey should be daily sterilized
in hot weather to keep it passably sweet.
A steam pipe from the boiler could ster-
ilize the whey in a cheap and effective
manner.
can point to as fine calves as were
ever grown that were raised the past
summer on whey, with the small addi-
ton of mixture Of shorts and middlings.
White whey denotes that your cheese
maker is not getting out of the milk all
of the casein and butter fat that he
should, and however much your pigs and
calves may thrive on the diet, it is too
expensive to be long tolerated. George
e. Newell in American Cultivator.

From the New York Dairv scboo,.

When IS butter overworked and what
is the result of overworking?
When the globules are broken. 1t is
salvelike and will not keep well.
What per cent. of water should well
made butter contain?
Not over 10 per cent.
What should be the condition of milk
vessels to produce the best results in
milk. cream and butter?
Clean, sweet and smooth.
Breed of cows. Give comparative Diff
ference in richness of their milk.
First, Jerseys; second, Guernseys;
third, Shorthorns; fourth, Holsteins
The Holsteins give greater quantity and
equal results in amount Of butter with
Jerseys.
Food of cows. How does the food and
water affect the quantity and quality of
miS1?
Judicious combination Of heterogeneous
and carbonaceous foods insure greatest
quantity and best EQUALITY of milk. Weeds
and impure water impair the quality.
sometimes rendering the milk unfit for
use.
How should cows be stabbed to make
the most comfortable, and what effect
has comfortable quarters and cleanliness
on the animals relative to economy of
food fed and of results in product?
Let each animal have box stall. Let
it be kept warm, dry, clean and well
ventilated. The food manger so ar
ranged as to be kept clean also; effect,
less food consumed and more milk and
butter produced than if cows lie out Of
doors and feed at straw stacks.

The average cow yields about 45O gal
Ions OF milk year, which gives total
product Of 6,750, O00, 600 gallons. Twelve
cents gallon is fair price to estimate
the value of milk at, total return to
the dairy farmers of 1910, 1000, 900, if they
