The famous philanthropist frowned
with surprise.
Ten dollars?" he repeated. Put

Buttermilk when free from water,
used for washing the butter, makes
excellent feed for hogs. The great
trouble as we find it coming from
the creameries is that 1t is hard TO
determine how much excess water is
contained in It. At the present price
for feeds, think you will be safe in
paying 20 cents per 100 pounds for
buttermilk that is free from excess Of
water.
For sows that are nursing young

quantities, If at all, and ! would sug-
gest diluting II. Better results would
