into  the  whey  in  the  tank  and  heating  to 
160  Fall.,  which  is  sufficient  to  destroy 
all  germs  of  putrefaction.  In  hot  Sum¬ 
mer  weather,  pasteurizing  is  almost  in¬ 
dispensable.  The  process  of  pasteuriza¬ 
tion  takes  up  little  time,  besides  there  is 
the  pleasure  of  having  the  whey-tank  and 
cheese-factory  premises  clean  and  sweet. 
A  Well-Known  Fad. — The  condition 
of  some  whey-tanks  is  scandalous.  They 
are  too  often  found  to  contain  a  reeking, 
disagreeable-smelling  mass,  polluting  the 
atmosphere  within  a  half-mile  of  the 
factory.  Cheesemakers  who  permit  their 
whey  tanks  to  get  in  this  condition  take 
no  pride  in  their  work,  and  should  not  be 
re-engaged.  Dairymen  who  support 
cheese  factories  make  a  big  mistake  when 
they  fail  to  avail  themselves  of  the  hog  to 
aid  them  in  making  money  from  the  by¬ 
products.  The  attitude  of  the  dairy  far¬ 
mers  toward  the  pig  has,  strangely,  al¬ 
ways  been  an  unfriendly  one,  and  to  this 
prejudice  they  lose  much.  For  every 
dairy  cow  kept  on  the  farm  there  should 
he  at  least  two  pigs.  A  man  who  keeps 
20  cows  should,  in  his  own  interest,  feed 
and  fatten  40  pigs  every  Summer,  which 
means  the  keeping  of  five  Sows.  If  he 
does  so  he  will  find,  perhaps  to  his  amaze¬ 
ment,  that  this  branch  of  the  business  is 
bringing  him  in  more  money  than  are  the

a  pound  in  every  hundred.  These  ele¬ 
ments  of  food  value  contained  in  100 
pounds  of  whey,  should  produce  at  least 
two  pounds  of  live  weight  in  hogs.  It  has 
been  my  experience  that  whey  fed  judi¬ 
ciously  in  combination  with  other  feeds, 
will  give  such  results.  I  find  that  among 
the  best  feeds  to  mix  with  whey  is  ground 
barley.  Barley  is  not  half  appreciated 
by  hog-feeders.  It  has  repeatedly  been 
shown  to  he  equal  in  every  way  to  corn, 
the  great  American  hog-fa  ttener. 
Damaged  Flohk  With  Wiiey. — An¬ 
other  excellent  feed  to  use  in  conjunction 
with  whey  is  damaged  flour.  This  feed 
can  often  he  purchased  for  ,$2.50  to  $8  a 
barrel,  and  is  dirt  cheap  at  that  price. 
When  feeding  damaged  or  sour  flour  it 
should  he  soaked  in  the  whey  for  about  a 
half  day.  I  know  of  a  feeder  who  used 
10  barrels  of  this  damaged  flour  last 
Summer,  which  he  fed  to  his  hogs  in  this 
manner  with  splendid  Tesults.  As  a  re¬ 
sult  of  feeding  this  mixture  his  hogs  were 
finely  developed,  had  a  good  growth  of 
bone  and  were  just  the  packer’s  ideal. 
That  is  one  effect  of  feeding  whey ;  it 
stretches  out  the  hog.  Besides  being  food 
whey  is  a  medicine  to  the  hog ;  it  is  both 
food  and  medicine.  It  has  a  cooling  effect 
on  the  heated  blood  which  is  brought 
about  by  heavy  meal- feeding,  and  it  keeps 
him  in  health  and  good  condition.  In 
fact,  when  feeding  whey  a  larger  quantity 
of  meal  may  profitably  he  fed  with  conse¬ 
quent  more  rapid  gains.  A  whey-fed  hog 
will  show  greater  daily  gains  than  one 
that  is  not  so  fed. 
Whey  For  Exhibition  Fitting. — For 
fitting  breeding  stock  for  exhibition, 
whey,  in  the  absence  of  milk,  is  almost  a 
necessity.  A  whey -fed  hog  is  usually 
sleek  and  healthy-looking ;  he  is  lengthy 
and  of  loose  conformation,  and  has  not 
the  usual  stumpy,  bound-lip  conformation 
of  the  hog  fed  on  dry  meal.  As  to  feed¬ 
ing  cornmeal  with  whey  I  do  not  think 
it  requires  soaking.  In  fact  I  don’t  bother 
soaking  ground  barley,  oats,  corn,  bran 
or  middlings  in  the  whey.  My  method  is

pounds.  A  platform  was  arranged  which 
was  as  high  as  the  top  of  the  scales.  The 
cow  was  led  so  that  her  front  feet  wrere 
on  the  scales  and  her  hind  ones  on  the 
box.  The  weight  was  3S0  pounds.  Next 
she  was  led  so  that  her  hind  feet  were

Weighing  Part  of  the  Cow  at  a  Time 
box,  weight  was  350  pounds;  380  pounds 
plus  350  pounds  equals  730  pounds  as 
the  weight  of  the  animal.  The  estimated 
weight  by  two  or  three  people  was  715 
to  740  pounds.  The  whole  object  is  to 
liuve  the  top  of  scale  platform  and  the 
top  of  box  at  exactly  the  same  levels.  If 
the  method  is  correct  it.  would  he  useful 
for  weighing  animals  that  weighed  too 
much  for  an  ordinary  set  of  farm  plat¬ 
form  scales.  ^  J.  ii.  C. 
Lockport,  N.  Y. 
The  proposed  scheme  of  weighing  live 
stock  would  be  fairly  accurate,  and  I 
would  consider  it  somewhat  more  reliable 
than  a  conservative  estimate.  I  would  de¬ 
pend  somewhat  upon  the  position  of  the  an¬ 
imal,  whether  it  was  cramped  or  stretched. 
Furthermore,  it  is  important  as  your  sub¬ 
scriber  suggests  to  have  the  scale  plat¬ 
form  and  the  box  platform  on  the  same 
level.  I  recall  an  instance  of  weighing  a 
1,200  pound  horse  in  this  manner,  and 
by  careful  posing  of  the  animal  so  that 
it  would  stand  squarely  on  all  four  feet, 
and  not  in  a  cramped  position,  we  were 
able  to  establish  the  weight  within  12 
pounds  of  the  animal’s  correct  weight.  I 
am  inclined  to  believe  that  the  error  ap¬ 
proximating  10  or  15  pounds  would  he 
inclined  toward  the  heavier  weight.  I 
should  consider  the  methods  somewhat 
more  reliable  than  a  responsible  guess, 
but  there  would  be  more  or  less  error.
