SKIM MILK AND GOOD BACON

Separated milk fed alone even will
not only keep the pigs in good condi-
ton, hurt If given i'll sufficient quantities
vial cause considerable increase in the
fat andsfean meats of the pigs.
Some experiments show that feeding
pigs on skinned milk alone from
which all the fat has been distracted
makes a decided increase in weight and
the increase includes q fair proportion
of fat.
Fat and lean meat are directly In
fuenced by the composition of the food
given pigs, and when q heterogeneous
food is fed flesh of a lean quality is
formed, and by the feeding of fats.
starches or other of the carbohydrate
groups the proportion of fat i'll the
pig is increased
During late years the bacon industry
of Denmark has increased enormously
in Importance and the bacon received
from that country is most excellent.
Large quantities of separated milk
are used for pig feeding in Denmark.
In fact, the making of skim milk
cheese, which was at one time an i'm
portant industry in that country, has
decreased largely on account of the
profits to be derived from the system
of using separated milk for pig feeding.

Therefore, due care should be taken
in digging and constructing well SO
that direct contamination will be pre-
vented.
The well itself must be so con
structed that the impurities cannot get
into it from above or from the sides.
Water should be filtered through ten
to twelve feet OF fine soil. To prevent
the surface pollution water tight wall
should be built in well down below
the water level. This can be built Of
hard, burned brick and cemented on
the outside. Clay should be pounded
around this.
Where drilled wells are used the
lining of the well should be an iron
tube driven into the bore and the out
side should be flushed with thin &C.
ment. The well should be properly
covered and the surrounding ground
should be considerably higher than the
general level of the soil The walls
should extend at cast three feet above
the surface of the ground and ground
fill made SO that it will slope from the
wall. The top of the fill should be
covered with at least twelve inches or
clay Or loan upon which it is advis-
able to have some sod or a layer of
sand, or, best of all. 4 pavement slop
ing in all directions.
Owing to the great quantity of water
needed in the dairy and the expense
connected with the proper kind of fill
ters, it is quite impracticable to use
rain water.
II cue precautions are taken in the
disposal of sewage and in the proper
construction of wells and care of
waste and garbage, there is little dan
ger of water becoming polluted, and it
will be great step toward increasing
the healthfulness of dairy products
The attractiVeness of dairy farms de-
Ponds largely upon the promptness
with which all kinds of waste material
are disposed of, and while there is ar
abundance of space on the farm to get
rid of the rubbish and waste. it should
ever be borne in mind that the removal
of garbage should also be attended tc
as promptly as the disposal of sewage

SIMPLE TREATMENT FOR GARGET

Garget comes from irritation pro-
duced by an injury, such as kick or
being stepped on by another animal
Sometimes garget is caused by allow
ing the COW to go too long without
milking, and a frequent cause is germs
entering the udder. A good remedy is
to physic the COW with one pound of
epson salts dissolved in about a quart
of moderately warm water. Then
give a. teaspoonful of pokeroot twice a
day. Make a solution of one table
spoon of pokeroot and about pint of
witch hazel or alcohol and battle the
udder frequently. Keep the COW in a
dry, cool place.
Battle the udder with hot water and
manipulate it gently for fifteen or
twenty minutes at a time This gen
orally facilitates a cure. If the udder
is very large suspend 1t in strip of
canvas fastened over the cows back,
with holes for The teats TO protrude.
This will relieve the strain upon the
muscles of the udder.

REJECT UNpR0FlTABlE COWS
Study Your Herd to the End
That the Producers Are
Known, Then Dispose
of the Others
BY SAMUEL z. BARNES,
Tennuesee.

Fhe owner of dairy should know
how. ,,nzsol,, profftseach and every COW Is
producing.
Why SHOULD he feed and milk COW
that. does not produce an ample profit?
why should he keep twenty cows in
stead OF ten when the profit is the
same?
The only reason for mans doing
this is that he does not know which
COWS are the poor ones and which are
profitable.
Some dairysnen have been induced
TO keep careful records of their herds
for the last six months and as q prac-
teal illustration few of their figures
are given below.
One man who has kept record of
his herd Of fourteen cows during the
last six months has increased mis- net
profits freq1 $4T:30 to s122s2 per
month-an increase of over 100 per
cent
This was done by cutting out the
poor mixers and feeding according to
the amount of milk produced.
Before the records began he fed all
the cows the same, consequently some
cows consumed more food than they
paid for.
Two other men are keeping the
same number Of cows (twenty) feed
ing the same kinds of food and selling
milk in the same city. There is quite
a difference in the results:
One of the herds produced during a
six months test an average per month
for the twenty cows of 6,926 pounds of
milk. or 2e6 pounds of milk for each
COW per month. The. average of butter
for the twenty cows per month was
1884, pounds, or 14.01 pounds per COW
each month.
The other herd produced during the
same time an average per month of
1859 pounds for the twenty cows
5S4 pounds of milk for each COW per
month. The average of butter fat for
the twenty cows was 54S pounds per
rnonth-27.4 pounds per COW each
month.
The first man has an annual net in
come of $756.36; the second man clears
s1.74e.6o.
Does 1t pay to keep records? The
individuality of the COW must be con-
sidered if success is made in the
dairy business.
The herds mentioned above are grade
herds and were fed on silage, pea hay
cottonseed meal and brewers grain
The feed of the first herd cost about
sss.e7 per month; the last was about
ts49.94 per month.

1t takes very little time and money
to clean and paint a vehicle. as the
writer knows from practical cxpe-
rience.
The following directions, carefully
carried out, will enable even the most
vehicle in creditablc manner
First, remove the cushion, foot car
pet and side curtains. Then wash the
vehicle, both body and running gear,
thoroughly first softening all hard
dried mud by pouring on liberal sup
ply of water, never using either sponge
or rag until the mud is thoroughly
softened
After you are certain that no par
ticles of hard, dried mud stick to the
vehicle, wash carefully until perfectly
clean.
Don't be i'll too big hurry but see
that you make thorough job.
Let the vehicle dry, then go all over
it with 4 dry rag, removing every
particle of sand and dirt, being espe-
cially careful around the base of the
spokes where they are inverted in the
hub or fellows
Use a coarse brush to clean the seat
and corners of the body on the inside
Now put your vehicle in the carriage
house or shed. Get two old boxes, just
high enough to raise the wheels above
the floor of the building. Place these
under the bed of the front and bach
axles and take the shafts off.

sanitary conditions. With this in view
it is our purpose to give few sug-
gestions as to the proper manner of
disposing of farm sewage from the
COW barn, milkhouse, dairy and from
the dwelling, or any other place that
is closely situated to the dairy plant.
This matter is of greatest impor-
tancc on dairy farms, for if conditions
are kept filthy they very soon breed
diseases which affect not only people
who live on the farm. but consumers
many diseases arc transmitted through
milk and other dairy products.
The principle underlying the disposal
of the sewage on the farm should be
essentially similar to that of the cities.
The proper method of disposing of the
sewage on the farm eliminates a great
many dangers which constantly face the
gers is contamination of the water sup
ply. If the water supply on the dairy
farm is contaminated it will be i'm
possible to produce sanitary milk, since
utensils washed in impure water will
directly affect the milk. The cesspool,
so common on dairy farms quite fire.
quently secures a direct connection
with the well, especially if located near
it, and thus contaminatcs the water
The health of large communities of
people who draw their food supply
from the country is in a measure de-
pendent upon the healthfuluess of the
farming community In fact, there is
scarcely a city Child whose health is
not in degree dependent upon the
sanitary condition of Nthe barn and
house of the dairyman: Milk fire.
quently has been shown to be the
means of disease distribution.
With these conditions before us ii
is absolutely necessary to have a good
sewage disposal plant on every farm
Health cannot be measured by cost
for small cost should not stand in
tho way TO any great extent in erect
ing plant that is effective for this
purpose.

OF course the boar and brood soWS
must be wintered, and according TO my
experience,it pays to winter shotes and
fall pigs. If provided with warm, COM
Portable winter quarters they will grow
as fast in the winter as in the summer,
and with as little expensive feed
Instead of grass, which they cannot
have, they will eat considerable clover
or alfalfa hay, pumpkins, boiled pota-
toes, turnips and rutabagas.
The potatoes may be those too small
For market. By forethought cheap
feeds can .be provided and hogs kept
as cheanty in the winter as in the
sunan1er, but they must not suffer from
the cold.
Nces need comfortable quarters in
cold weather more than do horses and
cstMe. because their hair is coarser
and thinner.
Our best breeds of hogs have but
little hair. Animals that were de-
signed to-endure the rigors of winter
without protection are covered with a
csat7ofswarrn, thick wool or fur.
The wild hog has long, thick hair,
with finer furry covering under 1t

leaving the other two in the barn.
They We're all fed and cared for by
myself, and fed and cared for exactly

Animals kept in cold quarters have

aud in severely cold weather, if ex-
posed will not fatten at all.
Having accidentally learned a valu-
able fact, for twenty years after that
kept our hogs whether young or old,
in the basement of the barn during
the inclement season, and know of a
certainty that it pays to winter swine
when they are kept in warm place.
Some people may object TO having a
Fogpen in the barn on the supposition
that the foul smell would nauseatc the
the milk. The answer is that if hogs
are encouraged, there are no cleaner
animals in the world
There were 10 more foul odors in
our barn than if no hogs had been kept
there, and no stranger coming in would
know there was hog in ii unless he
happened to see them
Western farmers who constantly
keep hundreds of hogs should build
warm pens for wintering them. To
winter them in sheds in the field, OF
beside the strawstack, is not only cruel
but Improbable.

POTATOES AS STOCK FOOD
When Properly Fed They Are
Nutritious and Very Fatten-
Ing For Both Cattle
and Hogs
BY W, R. GILBERT.

Potatoes owe their food value prin-
cipally to their high proportion of carr
bohydrates which are found in pota-
toes i'll the form of starch.
They contain nearly three times the
quantity of carbohydrates found in an
equal weight of turnips.
Potatoes vary a good deal in COM
position, not. only as regards different
varieties, but as regards the same va
riety grown on different soils.
Potatoes grown on strong soil con-
tain more aIbuninoids than those from
light land.
When they are of this composition
they are firm when cooked and are
said to have bone in them" These
are the most nutritious class of pota-
toes.
Potatoes are more suitable for feed
ing pigs than for any other kind of
stock.
Their high proportion of starch
makes it necessary to mix them with
food of more albuminoid and tibrous
character when given to cattle and
horses.
Unless they are mixed With such
food tl.ey are liable to produce cllolic:
but when fed in proper mixture there
is no more fattening food grown on
the farm than potatoes.
When the potatoes are withdrawn
the cattle lose in condition at once
and take some time to make it up
again.
When potatoes are diseased it Is this
albuminoids that decay. The starch
remains unchanged, and if the decay
has not gone too far potatoes that are
diseased may be used for stock feed
ing, but such potatoes should never be
| fed raw.
/ If a large number of potatoes are
found to be touched with disease al
lifting time they may be cooked, and
| if sailed and packed firmly in barrels
they viii keep for some time if the ali
| is excluded.
The flesh producing qualities of po-
tatoes are destroyed in proportion az
the disease has destroyed the albu-
| minoids, but the carbohydrates ara
fully capable of performing their work
of keeping up the animal heat and
adding to the fat
