Raising More Calves, Pigs and Poul-

The raising of young animals is one oil
the most natural adjuncts of dairy farm
ing. In my observation there has been
decided falling off in this respect in
the Atlantic states during the last TWEEN
ty-five years. The cows have Increased
but the raising of young cows and the
pork crop has decreased. This consti-
tutes one of the distinctive differences
between butter dairying in Wisconsin
and dairying for milk in the east. More
than twice the number of young heiferS
are matured to cowhood, and four times
as many pigs are raised in proportion 10
the number of cows kept, in my opinion,
as is the case in Massachusetts,. The
feeding value of skim milk with us
varies from q cents per 100 pounds
when fed to young pigs, at present prices
of pork, live weight, to 30 cents when
fed to likely young grade Jersey. Guern-
sey or HolStein heifer calves. rms
makes a handsome addition to the reve-
nue., per COW. Many of the eastern
farmers seem to have lost the art OF
raising young stock. 1t is time it was
taken up again, and in creamery districts
and where private butter making Is
carried ON, it is just rs practicable To q"
this east as we'll as west. With plenty
of fresh skim milk. separated on the
farm by the aid of the farm separator,
and middlings, barley or cornmeal, it is
comparatively easy to make good pront
on raising young calves to two-year-oid
cows, and young pigs TO 150-pound pork
ers, and poultry galore. The fresh SKIM
milk unlocks all these possibilities.
The highest profit is found in tnrnlng
all these to market when young. The
pigs especially should not exceed 100
pounds weight, for after that the 1000
of daily support decreases the ratio Oh
profit very rapidly. Then there remains
the importing of increased fertility 10
the farm. The old cheese making dis
tricts of New York show what it means
to send all the milk away from the farm.
The farms there do not raise half the
COW food they once did.-W. d. Hoard
in Prairie Farmer.
