Feeding Skim Milk ProTtably,
There are many mistakes made in IN.
feeding of skinned milk to swine. Asa
rule 1t is simply poured into the troush
and the animals permitted to drink ali
they want of 1t. While it may do them
no particular harm, it does them eoi
only to the extent Of the amount Of pro.
TEN they thus obtain which the system I
needs. If some Light grain product such |
as bran Is mixed with the milk and 4
smaller quantity used the swine will II |
more greatly benefited. On the other |
hand. in the experience Of the writer, tho /
best results in feeding SKINNED mik 10 |
poultry ONE from feeding 1t alone. Wt |
pour into their troughs all they will at
up clean and give 1t to them daily; the b.
crease in eggs shows that II pays. tn |
reason why Ii is best to feed the sklmmsi
milk to poultry alone is doubtless in .a
fact that they obtain the bulk Of the ps |
tein needed in the other foods and tn
nix another element they need
Caring for the Manure.
If there is one subject more than an.
other relative to farm work which will
bear frequent repetition, 1t is the care Of
manure. While many good farmers be-
lieve that the best plan of caring for ma.
nure is to spread it over the farm as fast
as 1t is made. others do not like the plan

manure, the liquid excrement, can hl

Of storage with a cement bottom and leg

in any handy place the worst plan Isl

If one can spare the time to cart the HtI
nure he can spend enough more TO spTeaI
