LOSS OF FAT IN SKIM. MILK
Farmer Using Separator Should Pay
Close Attention to Matter-Chief
Cause Is Speed.

Every farmer who uses a separator
to skim his milk should give close at
tention to see THAT he does not lose fat
in the skim milk. A small percentage
of fat going into the skim milk contin-
uously meansa great loss for the year.
If COW gives 5000 pounds of milk
and four tenths Of one per cent is lost,
it would mean for the year a loss of
about So per COW.
There may be many causes to pro-
duce such loss. Probably the chief
cause Is the speed of the bowl. If al
separator is turned too slowly the milk
does not skim clean and fat goes over
into the skim milk. Another cause
might be the temperature of the milk.
For close skimming milk should be 95I
degrees or above. Still another cause
is an unbalanced bowl. See that the
separator gets plenty of Oil when run
ming and do not neglect it when it gets
out Of order.

the second week little oatmeal and
a small quantity of f1axseed oil meal
after it is boiled may be added to the
milk.
Tie a little bunch Of bright, sweet
clover hay in the pen every day for
the calf to nibble. After the milk has
beed fed put little meal in the calf's
mouth. A little hay may also be given.
BY this method the calf will soon learn
to eat meal and hay.
Whole oats and wheat bran may be
fed in small quantities after the sixth
week. All stock, young and old, thrive
and keep in health when well fed and
kindly treated.

may be given morning and evening.

MAKING IDEAL DAIRY RATION
Silo Solves Succuience Problem Best
Roots Should Be More Generally
Fed to Cows.

1t is very necessary that succulence
be supplied if we hope to come any
where near an ideal dairy ration. The
silo solves this problem best. From all
points Of view silage is to be preferred.
The second choice would be roots.
These will be very satisfactory, either
when fed alone or supplementary to
the silage, and should he more gener-
ally fed than at present on all dairy
farms. Lacking either of these, it will
be important to secure similar effects
through the grain ration with the aid
of alfalfa or clover if available. In
this connection oil meal is of great
value because of it's well-known laxa-
tive properties coupled with it's high
protein content.
