DISPOSING OF MILK SURPLUS
Conditions Likely to Exist In VOL.
Developed Dairy Districts
During Summer.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
For the first time since the begin
ming of the World war there is devel-
oping In this country surplus of
milk, according to reports recently
received by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Specialists Of
the department state that this condi-
ton probably will be only temporary
during the flush" of the season, and
that it is most apparent in well-de-
veloped dairy districts. 1t may con-
tinue during the summer months, but
Is expected to adjust itself by fall
when demand will overtake the sur
plus of supply. The situation is large
ly due 70 the falling off in the demand
for milk in the manufacture of con-
densed products, milk powders, caseins
and similar products, for which there
was large export outlet.
The department points out the ad--
visibility Of using as much milk as
possible, in fluid form and otherwise,
as a human food. Within the last
genera ion an increased knowledge of
the value of milk in the diet has re-
suited in an almost doubled per cap
ita consumption of milk, and con-
sumers who purchase milk freely
thereby encourage production. This
is believed to be the best safeguard
against milk shortage and high
prices resulting from the withdrawal
OF dairymen from the business during
periods of large production and low
farm prices for milk.
But when the limit of human utili-
cation is reached dairy producers nec-
esSarily must decide how to dispose
of the remainder. In many cases this
will be decision between selling
whole milk, selling cream, or even to
use a moderate quantity of whole
milk for feeding, especially to young
animals. In any event, more liberal
use of milk on farms should reduce
the surplus, even though not solving
the problem entirely.
AS a guide to persons deciding to
utilize surplus milk as a live stock
feed, the department makes the fol-
lowing recommendations, which may
be supplemented with literature is
sued by the department:
Milk from dairy herd which is not
definitely known to be free from tu-
berculOsis should be scalded before
being fed. An ordinary feed cooker
is practical means for scalding milk.

G. M. Culver who has worked in the
tub shop at the Stowe butter package
company's factory at lower village 81

given up the supervision of the work, but
still works nine hours a day with the
younger men.
Mr.. Culver was married to Miss Ida
Robinson. They lived for 35 years in the

Salt and Dampness.

Salt is what is called "hygrosco-
pic" that is, 1t eagerly absorbs mois-
ture. In fact, both air and salt are
absorbents of moisture and Ii Is a
contest between them rs to which

pheric conditions, Ordinary atmos-
phere always contains proportion
Of moisture, and warm air is apt to
be more humid than cold, as 1t alb
serbs and holds water vapor more
readily than cold air. Salt has such
affinity for moisture that under such
conditions 1t draws 1t from the air.
When the air becomes dry, the mois-
ture is given up by the salt, which in
turn becomes dry as it returns the
moisture to the air.

alent to pasteurization, which most
large cities require as safeguard to
public health. Metal pals that can be
kept clean by washing and scalding
are preferable to wooden containers or
others that are difficult to clean.
In calf feeding it usually pays well
to feed one pound of whole milk for
each ten pounds that the calf weighs,
for a period of two weeks, and at the
end of that time to change gradually
to an equal amount of skim milk. The
skim milk should be gradually in
creased as the calf grows until about
Is pounds per day is fed at the end
of three months. Feed the milk warm
and regulate the quantity according
to size and vigor of the calf.
For pigs three weeks old or more,
three parts of skim milk mixed with
one part of shorts, is useful in keeping
them growing. Skim milk may be fed
with corn and other hog feeds In va
rious practical combinations.
In poultry feeding both skim milk.
and buttermilk are excellent feeds,
and can now also be purchased as a
nonperishable commercial feed, which
is sold in large barrels as semisolid
buttermilk. Skim milk and butter
milk may be fed alone or mixed with
other feeds, but feeders should OBJ
serve their fiocks carefully TO avoid
giving too much milk, or bowel trou-
BILE may result. This is caused prin-
cipally by fowls eating spoiled clab-
bered milk remaining from a previous
feeding.
While to live stock owners unaccus-
toned to the use of milk as a stock
feed it may appear somewhat expen-
sive, there are advantages which milk
feeders quickly recognize. In addition
to utilizing the surplus milk that
would otherwise be wasted, young
stock generally male very rapid
growth. This means early maturity
and early usefulness, compared with
stock that have developed more slow
ly. At least as a temporary measure
there is a real opportunity to improve
farm live stock. in addition to reliev-
ing local milk surplus. by using skim
milk rather literally in proper COM
bination with other feeds.
