Farm Notes.

THE VALUE OF SKIM MILK kim milk is a most valuable feed r hogs, and when added to chopped rain greatly adds to its feeding aliie. An exchange says that “it ittens a hog faster and more ecoomically; it enables you to make a, igger profit dn your hogs, and the ioney for you faster; it is the aurce of cheap and good calves, and 1 fact is so valuable that we are ften led to believe that a man on a inn cannot afford to dispose of it at ly price.” Having the butter fat removed by he separator does not greatly lesson be milk as a pig and calf food. Fat 3 easily supplied by grain, and this >rain with good pure skim milk is a nost wholesome diet. Whenever r ou hear anyone say that skim milk s no better for pigs or calves than vhey just make up your mind that hat fellow does not know what he is alking about. By this we do not nean o tsay a word towards the discouraging of cheese factories for where milk is sold to a cheese factory more money should be received jer hundred pounds of milk, as no skim milk comes back, than where one hundred pounds of milk goes to a creamery, or where the farmer skims his milk apd sells only the sream. Milk is a balanced ration for youDg animals. After the young animal is able to eat grain he can thus get his carbohydrates from the grain and still use the skim milk to tho best advantage.—Exchange.
