The Kansas experiment station baa been endeavoring by three days' teat of a private dairy to deter mine now mucn tnis ions i. iney nnu that the skim milk contain from .3 to .7 of one per cent of butter fat, or an average of .44 of one cent, while the buttermilk tested 1.1 per cent of butter fat. The herd of five cow tested showed a loa of 12.9 pound of butter per year lost in the sknn milk and thirty-one pound lost in the buttermilk, a total loss of l'JO pound or 32 pounds per cow. This, at 20 cent per pound, the price received from private customer, mean a loss of !.40 per cow per annum. The farmer with twenty cow would at this rate save $128 per year by using a farm aeparator, and we lielieve this estimate is not far from correct. Dairy World. Inducement for the Boys.
