as dairyHg and cattle raising. With
the modern methods now to be en-
ployed this is the least laborious for
the amount of profit obtained. Be-
sides 1t is a source of profit the year
round. 1t is an easy matter to earn
from $500 to $1,000 more on a farm in
this manner as has been proved very
conclusively by the eastern farmer
Many of the farmers in this section are
adopting the methods OF selling their
cream and feeding their calves on the
warm skim milk While it still contains
the animal heat. which is made possible
by the use of the hand cream separator.
The picture reproduced here shows a
bunch OF calves raised by Mr. Smith
OF Beresford. S. D., on skim milk from
United States hand cream separator.
Besides Mr.. Smith received over S4OG
during the year from cream taken from
the milk upon which these calves were
raised. Calves raised in this manner
will bring just as much in any mar
ket as calves that have been allowed to
run with the COWS,
Some have tried raising calves on
skim milk and have made a failure of
it, but their method was as much at
fault as the method of permitting the
calves to run with the cows They
hauled the whole milk to the creamery
ana mad sour skim milk returned to
them. upon which their calves did not
thrive. This method is not nearly so
good even when the skim milk re-
turned is sweet, because it does not
contain the animal heat. The hand
cream separator does away with the
only objection to raising calves in this
manner, thereby making it the most
valuable and profit producing machine
on the farm. The majority of cream
