Show SKIM MILK FOR CALVES. H That Right from the Separator It Be- lleved to Be Best. H It la sometimes said that nwoet skim H rullk fod directly from tho hand ol H tho separator has caused tho death H of calves and young pigs, but I know H of no specific case In which this la , H true, says a writer In Farmer's Volco, ' ,H or experiments which Indlcnto that 'H sour skim milk gives bettor results H than swcot; In fact, tho ovldonco U H vory largely In favor of swcot skim H Tho skim milk directly from the H soparator has moro or less air In It, H as may be seen by tho foam on the top or It. I hnvo fed this milk within threo or four minutes nftor sopnrat- H lag to young cnlves, and novor had Jfl any troublo which might In nny wny 9 bo traced to the skim milk. This ' fl would not provo, however, thnt allow- fl tug a young calf or pig to overload its fl stomach with now milk more or loss 9 mixed with nir would not provo Injurl- fl Dus, though I question very seriously 9 whether this cnuse aluno would pro- fl iu co death. In my opinion If skim 'M milk Is allowed to stand ten minutes ''9 sr so after separating, tho light foam fl from tho top removed nnd only a mod- fl irnto amount of tho fresh warm milk fl allowed each animal, no Injurious ro- fl suits nro likely to occur. H Many fnrmors think thnt bocauso fl :ho fat has been removed, n calf must fl bo given nil the skim milk It cau Irltik nmt in an v calves suffer frnm im n much skim milk; also from feeding fl :old skim milk and from sour skim fl milk, moro especially If It In sweet fl mo dny and sour nnother. .;fl While satisfactory results aro ro- fl ported from foedlng skim milk, I , fl recommend tho uso of sweet, still h''fl warm from tho soparator.
