FARM DAIRYING 



practically the same food value as skim-milk for 

 pigs. 



Whey, while not good for young pigs, when 

 mixed with meal for pigs of three months or older, 

 gives good results. 



SKIM-MILK FOR COWS 



Skim-milk is said to be excellent for cows if they 

 can be induced to drink it, or it may be mixed with 

 their food. It is said to be worth from thirty to 

 forty cents oer hundred pounds in food value when 

 so used. 



SKIM-MILK FOR CHICKENS 



Many chickens on the farm do not know the 

 taste of skim-milk, and yet it is one of the very 

 best foods for both young and old fowl. The 

 casein, or curdy part of the milk, largely supplies 

 the protein necessary for laying hens, while for 

 table fowl there is nothing superior to milk for 

 making white, juicy, delicate flesh. 



The milk may be either sour or sweet, and may 

 be given as a drink or mixed with the meal, or both. 



Sour skim-milk or buttermilk, fed to fowls con- 

 fined to limited range, keeps them in health. The 

 acid of the milk supplies the lack of vegetable acid 

 they would get if running at large, and moreover, 

 it aids digestion.
