NEWS FROM COUNTY
Notes From st. Nazianz.

~
bled the Homecoming of ayear ago
was held at ST. Nazanz last SUNDAY
under the auspices of the Manitowcc
County Cheese Makers Protective Adj
vancement Association for the purpose
of promoting the cheese making IN"
dustry of the county and OF informing
the milk PRODUCERS of the relative val
ues Of skim milk and whey for ieealng
nurposes. That the meeting was a
live one and that the farmers are very
much interested in the proposition was
demonstrated by the unusually large
attendance at the meeting and by the
interest of those present in the dis
cussion OF the question. Prof. q. A.
Beukendorf, head of the State Dairy
School at Madison was present and
gave some very interesting facts on
the feeding values of skim milk and
whey. Prof. Beukendorf quoted from
various authorities and gave the re-
suits OF many tests which have been
made in this matter and showed that
the value of skim milk as food pro
duct for calves when veal is worth SC
amounts to soc per hundred. lie
quoted Gov. Hoard TO the effect that
the prices Of a pound OF veal multi
piled by ten may be taken as the
actual feeding value in money OF 100
pounds of skim milk and from the
same authority he stated that the
feeding value Of whey was equal to
one.half the feeding value Of skim
milk and proved this latter statement
by citing the results Of a very large
number OF experiments made both in
this country and in Canada, all OF
which demonstrated the statement
which he bad made. When veal Is
worth l2c or more pound as at pre-
sent the feeding value Of skim milk is
sl.20 per hundred pounds and the feed.
ing value of whey is G0c hundred
pounds The Professor had figures
which he gave and explained to those
present showing the amount OF milk,
sugar, the amount Of albumen and the
amount Of fats in both skim milk and
whey and explained his statements 10y
the use Of charts in the course Of his
talk.
His address was both entertaining
and instructive and presented the
proposition which he discussed in so
clear manner that when he had
finished there WAS but little to be said
on the subject.
The association promoting this meet
ing has been but recently formed and
it owes its existence in large meas
ure TO the fact that a c0ndensery was
started at Valders last spring which is
getting large amount Of the milk
from the central part OF the county.
AS stated at the meeting the object OF
the association is not To interfere in
any manner with the business Of the
condensory but was to inform the
farmers as to the actual value return
ed by the cheese factory in money
for milk and in the feeding value Of
whey aud Of skim milk in cases where
creameries are interested 50 that the
farmers in the vicinity may deter
mine for themselves which Of the
two institutions pay the most for
their products. The condensery has
been paying 81 60 for 4G milk during
the month OF June and paid $3.50 per-
hundred for the same grade of milk
during the lrst half Of July. On Prof
Benkendori's analysis Of feeding value
of whey the cheese factories are pay
ing considerably more than this amount
for the grade OF milk during the
months mentioned.
District attorney G. T.. Brady also
spoke on the dairy and food laws and
explained the laws on discrimination
in the buying and selling of dairy
products and said that he would not
permit any STANDARD oil Method" To
be practced by any condensery in the
county with the apparent purpose Of
eliminating cheese factory and cream
cry competition. And it's a safe bet
that Mr.. Brady will do what he says
if the condensery don't keep within
the law.
Mic. Filz president OF the St. MAJ
ianz State Bank and also Of the associ-
alton promoting the meeting presided
