the children born die before they reach
lhree years of age, and that one of the
most common causes of this mortality
is poor milk, or, rather germ-laden
milk. Thls may not be true of many
foreign countries, but it probably is
true OF the United States, where milk
is fed to about two-thirds of the chill

therefore, good reason for the continu-

Dairy Notes.


IL is an old adage that sticking to a
'n1ng eternally brings success. This is
very true in the dairy At the present
time when beef is high there is an in
cllnatlon with men to forsake dairy1ng
1or beef raising. In some states this
movement has assumed considerable
proportions. Yet it is a bad policy and
sure to work evil to the men that
make the change. If too many rush
into the beef growing it will result in
an oversupply. On the other hand the
supply of COWS for dairying is de-
creased by the tactics required in beef
growing and it is thus so much harder
1or the farmer to re-enter the dairy
business. There is no surer business
than dairying.
