Dentists Use Much Gold.

If there is a scarcity Of gold during
the twenty-frst and twenty-second CEN
turtles dentists, according to a German
statistician, will probably be more to
blame than any one else.
He asserts that they use every year
in filling teeth and other work about
800 Kilograms of gold, the value of
which is 100000, and that at this rate
the graveyards of the various coun-
tries will contain in 800 years from
now $15O,OOO,0OO worth of gold.

At this writing milk cows are worth
all through the east from $40 to $50
head. Pretty good figure, is it not?
asks E. L. Vincent in Ohio Farmer.
And even at these prices good COWS are
scarce and hard to find. Now and
then a man may be found who has an
extra one or two that he will part
with. but they go only little way to-
ward supplying the actual scarcity that
exists in this country today.
The same trouble exists farther west.
There the difficulty is aggravated by
the persistent appeals of the beef men.
They are all the time traversing the
farming communities, picking up every
paying such prices that there is a
standing temptation to the dairy farm
er to let his stock go. Perhaps he
needs the money to pay some pressing
debt and sees in the good prices the
butcher pays a relief for the moment
from his urgent obligation. The bur
den thus lifted soon settles down, how
ever, and with increasing weight, for
he has killed the goose which laid the
egg of gold and must stand the conse-
Quences.
What makes the situation all the
more serious is the high price which
milk, butter and cheese are bringing.
We need every COW we can get at the
present time to supply the demands
for these articles of everyday food.

The Spigot and the Bung.
There is no more interesting study
than to note how one sided our bust
ness economy, or, rather, sagacity,
seems to run at times. The ultimate
value of a product is what we get for
it, no matter how skillfully it is manu-
featured and put up, says a successful
dairyman.
1t does not seem to dawn upon all
dairy farmers that farm crops sold to
live stock are profitable or otherwise
just as they are sold in town or to a
nnaighbor. Haven't you seen men spend
4 day to secure a quarter of a cent adj
vance on a pound of dressed pork,
about so cents for each pig, a half q
cent on a pound of butter or one-eighth
Of a cent on a pound of cheese and
like small premium upon other prod
ucts-which certainly is to be COM
mended-but who at the same time
day after day were selling material
just as valuable to live stock that rep
resented the lowest market to be
found? Being interpreted, of course
this means FEEDING poor COWS, but
was wondering, if we put the PROPOSE
ton from q different viewpoint, if it
would not be more effective Are the
COWS you are feeding the best cow
market to be had?
Good Prices For Dairy Cattle.
Four thousand dollars was recently
paid for a bull calf in New York state.
This big price was paid because his
dam had in an official test produced
over thirty pounds of butter in seven
days. When such a price is paid for a
bull Of any of the beef breeds it is
generally because some one has paid a
big price for his sire or dam or that
the purchaser expects to beat some
rival in the show ring, says ]. G. Long
burn in Northwest Farmer. In the
state of Wisconsin, now the greatest
dairy state in the Union, Holsteins are
far in the lead. At recent sale of an
ordinary working herd one cow brought
$1,4OO and six-year-old bull 5000,
while the whole herd Of sixty seven
head made an average of $213. All of
these cattle were sold on their merits
as actual producers. One of the finest
COWS in Manitoba today is Holstein-

which politicians everywhere ask each

The issues that the anti Socialist parties
push to the front are loyalty to the mon
arch, to the church, to stable institutions
and to the rights of property against the
goddess, lawless, property-less, greedy
disintegrators or dreamers."
The Socialists lay stress on cheap bread
and meat, economic prosperity based on
lower tariffs, and freedom of speech and
criticism, emitting theoretical discussions
Much very offensive language is being
used on the platforms and the speakers
Of all parties are constantly interrupted
by cries of:

sulting expressions. Police IN uniform are
present at every political meeting
