Show Sweet Sklmmllk. Thero Is ilo hotter ration for tho calf than sweet sklmmllk. After tho calf has been weaned It still has a craving for tho kind of food that nature na-ture provided for it Tho feeding of nearly sour milk has boon practiced, and tho feeding of whey, but wo aro sure thnt tho calf has no particular liking for thnt kind of food. Undor modern methods of dairying it Is possible pos-sible on many farms to havo tho Bklm-milk Bklm-milk sweot. Whoro hand separators are used, of courso It Is an easy matter mat-ter to havo milk of tho kind wo havo indicated.
