 head. Most of the skim milk was fed to pigs, and the pigs and calves I still

 the Holsteins much more profitable than any of the others. This winter 

 I am feeding shredded corn fodder and corn and cobmeal, and like it very 

 much."

 cream separator and commenced the first day of March, 1893, with nineteen

 creamery, which is run entirely under the gathering system. Cream was taken 

 from the farm twice a week which is eleven miles from the creamery. The 

 following is the number of inches of cream and number of pounds of butter 

 derived from the cream in one year and prices per pound. Payments are made 

 once a month:
