was practically impossible to raipe
even good scrub calves on separated
milk. Finding no great trouble my
self with raising the best OF breeding
stock on separated milk has led me
TO look into the matter. until find that
our crenmorios-in order TO avoid the
expense OF man TO measure out the
skim milk. and nt the same time salts
~ the greed OF those patrons who are
cternally trying 10 get something for
nothing-run hose each TO the Hopar-
Ctor and the water tank. and run both
with the same pump. This IL the prac-
tice that has given separated milk n
bad name. and Justly 30. for the mix
turo Is practically worthless" Here IL
case whero adultoration had every
responsibility for non-succcRa In feed
ing calves upon separated milk.
In considering the claims made for
separated milk as n food Il must be
remembered that the most enthusiastic
o. It's supporters do not attempt TO set
forth that II IN n perfect food material.
:; Is n substance from which n very
7aluable ingredient has been almost
Wholly distracted. This being 30 we
must see the condition TO which we
nave brought our separated milk and
the measures 20 which we must resort
other for the purpose Of restoring
something equal TO what we have taken
away. or for the purpose OF deyislng
a system Of feeding that win oompon-
safe in the altered character Of the
now food.
Separated milk In what romainB nft-
or butter fat and n small amount OF an
other animal matter have been re-
moved. Butter fat Is supposed 10 be
one OF the most digestlble OF all fats
The necessity for fat In food is not n
settled question. but there Is every
reason for belief I'm the theory that fat
~ extremely useful. and n probably
n necessary ingredient In the food OF
young animals. DR.. Pavey says: 1T
eNerts a favorable influence over the
assimilation of heterogeneous matter and
the process OF tissue formation and nu-
triton, and II may be said that there
10 strong reason to believe that the as
ISOLATION OF certain amount OF fatty
matter with the carbohydrates Is prob
ably necessary for the maintenance OF
the organism OF perfect health. The
belief is further entertained that its
deficiency is sometimes the source OF
the developments OF the tuberculous
diathesls" We may therefore take II
that II Ia advisable that there should
be fat contained In the milk that is
supplied TO young animals.
As regards the other animal matter
that has been removed from mechanic
ally separated milk, It has been sug-
gested that In the Shiny matter that Is
found attached to the bowl OF the sep
nrator, after a quantity Of milk is run
through II, there may be some sub
stance that is necessary for digestion.
md that probably II is owing TO the
want OF this substance In separated
milk that calves do not thrive upon
such milk. The processes OF digestion
are very Intricate. and small quanti-
ties OF matter appear TO have consid-
able influence over this very mysteri-
Gus process; yet | cannot think that
the matter that adheres TO the bowl OF
the separator In cream separation Is
in whole or In part necessary for the
digestion OF milk when II is used for
food. An Investigation into the lniiu-
