194 THE PRACTICAL SIDE OF 



had been removed, and which is a valuable 

 food, especially when employed in the manu- 

 facture of bread or of the various dainties of 

 the dinner table. It may be further pointed 

 out that by the addition of 1 oz. of finely 

 chopped suet to a quart of separated milk, 

 its feeding value is brought back to that of 

 new milk. Thus by the selection and careful 

 management of a cow, it is not only possible 

 to supply milk and butter — and cheese, if 

 cheese is required — for family use during ten 

 months of the year, but to sell sufficient milk 

 during a great portion of that period to cover 

 the cost of feeding, and to leave a substantial 

 profit behind. 



The retail sale of milk affords a medium 

 through which the small holder can sell other 

 products of his farm, such as cream, eggs, 

 butter, fruit, vegetables, poultry, and pig- 

 meat, and for this reason the cow-keeper who 

 sells his produce in the neighbourhood of 

 his farm will be well advised not only to 

 keep pigs and poultry, but to convert a 

 portion of his holding into a market garden 

 or a garden in which he can grow produce 

 upon the best market-garden system. Here 

 we may urge the importance of following 

 the same course in the production of pigs.
