SklmmiIk for Calves.

A prominent Holstein breeder inform
ed US the other day that he was feeding
$500 worth of butterfat each day to his
calves. 1t has been his opinion that a
better calf could be developed by feed
ing whole milk instead of skimmilk.
Another breeder, raising the same kind
of cattle, feeds whole milk for two weeks
only and then uses skimmilk, and it ia
his opinion better calves can be reared
on skimmilk than on whole milk. Our
observation and experience lead US to
believe that skimmilk is q better feed
for dairy calves than whole milk. Fol
the first few months calves fed on skim
milk may not have coats as sleek and
smooth but when they shed their baby
hair, which is done when about eight
months old, their appearance will be
quite as satisfactory and their growth
fully equal, II not superior, to those fed
on whole milk.
The skimmilk should be fed warm and
fresh or as soon as it comes from the
separator, cr disappointing results will
follow. The feeding Of cold, or tainted
or too much skimmilk is invariably the
cause of producing unthrifty calves
The calt's milk should be weighed eaol
time for the best results and increases II
allowance made very gradually. Wher
skimmilk is properly handled and fec
there is no necessity Of feeding butter
fat worth 80 cents pound to grow th'
right kind of dairy calves. Skimmill
for growing animals is q much better
feed than most people realize.-Hoard'l

Milk q Cheap Food.

Everyone agrees that milk, as com.
pared with other food products, is one
OF the cheapest" said G. j. SteffeD,
president of the International Associa
tion OF Dairy and Milk Inspectors, in a
recent address. "The butcher, the bak'
or, the gardener may ask 20 percent or
30 percent more for what he has to sell
and nothing is said, but let one cent be
added to the cost of quart of milk and
it is Immediately the subject of investi.
CATION by the authorities. The need of
the dairy business, in order to promote
the best interests of the consumer, is
not more laws, but laws more in har
mony with the desires of the consumer
Rest assured that as soon az the consum.
er stands ready to pay for the labor Incl.
dental to the production OF clean and
pure milk supply, the producer will
meet the demand.
FURNISHING the people with milk,
safe and wholesome, is, after all, not q
question of law, as We all know. Gener'
ally speaking, believe that the quality
of the milk supply has improved faster
than the people have shown desire tC
pay for improved quality. In this con.
uection, am more than convinced that
the solution of the clean milk problem
is economic and not political, and the
sooner lawmaking bodies recognize 1t al
such, the sooner will the present tenden
cy of producer, to cease milking cows
be discontinued, II not altogether aban-
dOned."

Gentle Treatment of Cows.

don't wait for anything, they get out Of

found favorite cow known as Steem-

The new mans face was flushed and i

him just as soon as possible. Steem-

am inclined to think that some of the
bones of her hip had been shattered and
il took long time for her to get over
that beating. She had formerly been a
quiet, gentle COW, one of the incest cows
to handle that ever saw. She had re,
ceived her early training and acquired
her early habits under the hands of a
Hollander who loved cattle and cared
for them in quiet, thoughtful way that
made them think all men were friends

Work of the Farmers Union.

The third annual meeting of the Farm
ers' Union, held at Bangor June 20 and
80, must have demonstrated to all tillers
of the soil that this business movement
is here to stay. At no time in the his
tory of farming in Maine has there been
q movement started that has swept over
the state as rapidly and surely as this Or
ganization started by the Agricultural
Department in 1912.
We have passed through distressing
marketing conditions that were discour-
aging in the extreme. Under such con-
ditions it would not have been surpris-
ing had disaster overtaken US, but those
who read the reports of the different
officers must have been surprised be-
cause of the progress shown. However,
it must not be understood that none OF
our unions suffered, for few OF them
will show loss. This loss occurred
among the potato unions, but in most
cases they now see where this loss could
have been avoided, and will profit by
their experience. However, the unions
Jared much better than many of the in
dependent shippers and buyers. Many
firms in Boston and New York report
heavy loss, while our business in Boston,
started in the middle Of January, shows
q slight profit, where we expected loss.
Had we handled all union potatoes
through our Charlestown house, we
would have made loss, for the price
we sold at would not show any profit
had we bought them and worked out
the cars in the usual way. We were
able to buy for or cents less than the
price we sold the union goods on brok.
erage basis. This was absolute proof
that our manager in Boston was In a po-
sition to get more for the goods than
Others were selling for.
The managers report shows gross
business of $3.50, 900, but this included
"A unions only, out of 81. As near as
can be estimated, the total gross busi-
ness amounted to about SS0O,0OO.
Since the annual meeting, many letters
have been received from various sections,
asking for information as to how to start
a union. This would indicate further
interest in the movement and a conse-
auent large gain in unions this year.
