PROFITABLE QUANTITIES OF
SKIM MILK FOR GROWING
PIGS
(Experimental Farms Note)
The' tendency of the' farmer to
ship all his supply of milk direct to
market is one that always gives
room for criticism but yet' excusable
. n
many cases. If fair profits can
be made with a minimum of.labour
the Dairyman does not readily per-
suade himself into. the belief that to
separate the milk and feed the skits
milk on the place is worth while.
:Rut surely where the milk is shipped
to the creamery :tad the skip milk
resold et as low a price as •20 cents
per 100 pounds, as is the case' in
the .Chilliwack Valley, 13. C., at the
present time, it would be, /yell_ fol.
farmers to slake geed use of that
milk.. It is questionable. if 'he .could
make more profitable returns . any
other way than by 'feeding up a
number of pigs on..a ration composed
of skim milk - in combination with
mixt dmeal.. It has been found at
the Experimental Farm, Agaesi z,
that feeding skins milk at 00 emit;
per 100 pounds in proper combination
with concentrates is profitable. Al-
though substitutes, such a tankage
Tor example, may well take the plarc
of ekiri milk when the latter is not
a.vailabie, yet skim milk has a value
peculiar to itself in building the
muscles and bony framework of
young animals. Although skim milk
may serve its highest purpose when
fed to • calves yet, when properly
combined with a grain ration, be -
cones one of the most useful of all
available feed for the pig.
'Realizing the value of skin. milk
as a feed for pigs the next import-
ant point is to determine the most
profitable quantity to feed in combin-
ation with a grain ration for it is
impossible to feed pigs, even young
pigs profitably on skim milk alone,
With this object in view, therefore,
a series of experiments in swine
feeding was set.on foot at the Ex-
perimental Farm, Agassiz, in the
winter of 1917-18 and similar experi-
ments have been carried on every
winter since. As a result of these ex-
periments it is very interesting to
/tote that in every case the larger
the amount of milk fed the greater
are the gains. Comparisons have
been made where `a standard ration
of gvain was fed to all lots with
varying quantities of skim milk in
the different groups as contrasted' to
groups fed water in place of skint
miik and to other groups fed some
substitute such 'as tankage, Skint
milk was fed at the rate of 2 lbs.,
4 lbs., 0 111x:, and 8 lbs., per pig per
day and although the average gain
in each gioue'•inexeased yet the'most
economical gains centred around the
groups receiving from 4 to (i bs., per
gig per 'r1ay, Feeding any of the
various meth mixtures employed in
the experiment -without sterns milk or
substitute but with water, only gave
unsatisfactory results and proved
that water is no substitute for skim
milk. •
The general conclusions arrived at
are tlrt(t a profitabie amount of skins
milk to feed to growing pigs is any-
where frons 4 to 8 lbs, per pig per
day. But tvhere the skits milk is
exceptionally cheap it may be fed
profitably at the rate of 8 las., or ev-
er 10 lbs. per pig per day and es-
pecially is this true of certain pigs
with more Vigoroua charne'teristies
than others.

(Owing to leek o:1' space this i•t08)
lad to be held over last week.)
"/Pleat is 80 rare as a ally 111 June ?

So' said the Moet yars ago, and the
Baron 000rfy Coune3l /tall a perfect
realization of the truthfulness of the

(;pent a jolly day Of recreation at
Jowett's picn1e grounds at Bayfield,
It was 3'11 every sense a re-unpion day
of the old boys of the present and
past councils of the historic county
of Ilurop.
The old county stands in the fore-
front of the cotintiee of Ontario in
nearly every respect, end in no sense.
more so then in the splendid teen
who have in the past graced the coun-
cil board; and the present occupants
are worthy sons of a long line of
worthy. sires. The old county occu-
pies a unique position in the lrodnc-
tio11 of prominent men in all walks
of, life, for no matter in what part of
the world you east your lot you will
find the men of Duren occupying
foremost positions of trust and
bonny.
Last Friday at Bayfield *as gath-
ered together a splendid array of the
pat and present directors of muni-
cipal affairs , of the county. The
weather was ideal, the picnickers all
good-humored, and the eatables more
than ample. The good ladies had been
asked to bring full baskets, andthey
were brought more than fall of the
choicest edibles that skill and good
taste could produce.
A long list of sports were carried
out with the best of good humor, all
entering into then with that spirit of
comradeship characteristic of the
councils of "Intron. In the baseball
and football snatches there were
many 'examples of good team play and
ttliviclual work that showed that the
majority of the boys hacl without
doubt figurerd prominently in a home
club not many,years back. The same
1naY be said -of .the tug-of-war, where
good generalship and staying 'peeve s
Were in evidence. Mueli of the credit
of tha success of these three events
was no doubt due to the many ex-
cellent decisions and good judgment
displayed in handing these genes
by the umpire, County Treasurer
Lane, whose fair play appealed to all
and kept the spectators in good
humor. One football kicker took
the umpire for the goal and knocked
Mlis pipe galley -west.
The most amusing feature 'of the
program was 'a needle gree, in whites
seven of the ladies with partnere
tools part. This was worn by 'Mr. and
Sirs, ,ft. M. Elliott of Stanley, :lire,
Govenlock of McKillop and 11r.
iilnpp of Hay, and Mrs, McGregor
and Mr. McCully of 'Cuekersinith, the
ladies reccivase. the first, second and
third prizes in the order named.
County Clerk 110101111 acted a.:
clerk of the snorts and introduced
the different events. At the conclu-
sion of- the gauges the picnickers
*ere assembled and br:a addresses
were given by the ex -Wardens, the
Present Warden, two .of the ex-couu-
cillors (Ido, Jelin Laporte and lir,
W. H. Fraser) and County Treasurer
Lane, These addresses moved not
the least of the attractions of the day
and showed that if some of the tel. -
Wardens considered themselves too
old for the more strenuous games
they had not lost much of the vigor
of youth 311 Mental capacity.
It: was at this stage that the oMy
signs of disagreement were dis-
played, for each Warden persisted in
claiming that he had had t113 good
fortune of presiding over the beet
looking and brainiest bunch df men
that ever sat at the council table,
But this was the only point of differ -
mice; all agreed that the picnic was
a delightful reunion idea and should
by all means be continued and its
annual (nuisance would be looked for-
ward t( as one of the bright events
of the year.

REIMARKABLE ACHIEVEMENT
OF BLINDED SOLDIERS
A certain number of very expert
blinded teachers still remain at St.
Dunstan's as pupil teachers and in-
structors to the new -confers. From
the first (writes Sir Arthur Pearson
in the sixth Annual Report of St.
Dunstan's) I have sought to have
blind teachers Tor the blind and
gradually our staff has been augmen-
ted from the ranks of the sightless
soldiers, Just as some of our men
trained, as masseurs are engaged at
the hospitals and elsewhere in giving
treatment to other disabled soldiers,
so theses men having become export
as blind workers erre devoting their
time and skill to the help of their
less advanced comrade,,•. The blind
instructors have 511045n a really as-
tonishing capacity for imparting then'
knowledge to others.

the men (stfvs the Sixth Annual Re-
port of St. Dunstan's) have in many

Among the Men still in training' at
St. Dunstan's are fifteen Colonials,
several who returner./ to their own
countries when they lost their sight
have now decided to come here for a
c0nr(0 of instruction. Quite a num-
ber of Colonials have settled perm-
anently in England. The total of
those who have gone to the Colonies
