Audubon County Dairying

More than breed, is the care and
treatment accorded toany ofour DOM
esticated animals, and to this alone
success or failure may frequently be
traced.
Now when winter with its cold,
its snow and its long feeding period
is approaching, we ought to give this
matter careful consideration. Are our
stables clean, is the first question,
and on this one point hinges large
measure of successful dairying, for no
COW can do her best in cold filthy
stable.
There are 36 pounds of fat in q
thousand pounds of average milk.
This represents only carbon, or that
ingredient, which does not rob the
soil.
The skinned milk contains about
80 lbs. of casein or heterogeneous mat
ter, As pounds of milk sugar, and I
pounds of mineral matter, such as
lime, magnesia, etc as we'll as phos-
phoric acid and potash.
This statement should be sufficient
to convince any farmer the need OF
milking so that theskimmed milk
may be retained on the farm.
Is the Home Creamery losing
