Mill writes "Neither pains nor pleasures are Homogeneous, and pain is always heterogeneous with pleasure." Homogeneous is when elements are essentially alike. So Mill is saying that pain and pleasure are nothing alike. On the other hand, heterogeneous is when elements are not alike. Which Mill again clarifies that pain and pleasure are incongruous. He also questions the means of determining which is the acutest. He comes to the conclusion that you would have to experience both pain and pleasure to come to these means.
P.S. I commented on Brittany McDade's post.
