COST OF MARKETABLE MILK
Increasing Price of Feeds and Labor
and Sanitary Conditions Are Held
Responsible.

The people of cities who complail
about the high prices of milk may be
interested in knowing what it costs to
produce and distribute good market
able milk. An investigation made last
by the dairy department of the col
lege Of agriculture, Ohio State univer-
sity, shows that the average cost of
milk in Ohio is about 25 cents, or 6.25
cents per quart, allowing 5000 pounds
per COW per year as the average milk
production. This takes into consider
alton the cost Of feeds, labor, interest
on investment, maintenance, insur-
ance, taxes, etc. When the average
milk production per COW is increased.
the cost Is decreased. The average
cost of distribution is 81 cents per
quart as the cost of producing milk
and delivering 1t to the consumer.
This means that when milk retails at
ten cents a quart, the average pro-
or no profit in the transaction. Where
high producing COWS are kept and
economic methods of handling and dis
~tributing on a large scale are employ
ed, the above figures are greatly re-
duc&d and there is a fair profit in the
dairy business. However, it is the av-
erage producer, who keeps average
COWS, the increasing cost of feeds and
labor and the greater demand for sani-
tary conditions that are contributing
the high nrice of milk

MANNER OF DEH0RNING COWS
Very Little Danger In Saving Them
Of-Sharp Fine-Tooth Saw Is
Best for Older Animals.

Some cows are naturally very bossy,
a temperament that is not improved
by age. The only remedy is to remove
the horns.
For some unaccountable reason
pure-bred dairy lows all have horns
as a part of their natural equipment.
Ayrshires have especially dangerous
horns, as fashion demands that Ayr
shires have horns that project for
ward and upward. Red Polls and
Polled Durham are the only excep-
tions, and these are really beef breeds.
There is very little danger to the
GOV in having her horns sawed off,
and not much discomfort. judging
from her actions. Usually there is no

flow remains normal or nearly so.

Declare That in Less Than Twenty
Years There VIII Be 100000
Animals Grazing In Alaska
and Flesh VIII Be Cheaper.

Washington.-Uncle Sam has under
taken many big problems of late in an
effort to solve the mystery of the
continued rise in the cost of food. But
1t is doubtful If any of them will have
a greater effect on this vital question
than the experiment to find a new
meat supply. Every one agrees that
the meat problem is the greatest Of
all. 1t was for this reason the gov
eminent first undertook the expert
ment Of raising reindeer on the bar
rem slopes of Alaska. The scheme has
now progressed far beyond the ex-
detrimental stage, and the men who
peel will cut a big figure in the future
supply of America.
Officials at Washington say that in
less than 20 years, if the increase con-
tinues at the present rate, there will
be more than 1000, 900 prime beef rein
deer in Alaska, upon which the people
of America can depend for much of
their flesh diet in the future.
Reindeer meat is now considered a
delicacy by epicures, and is only sold
at leading hotels and restaurants. In
flavor the meat is a cross between
mutton and beef, but is even more pal
atable than either. Reindeer can be
raised for the market much more
cheaply than cattle, because they will
thrive on wastes SO barren that even
goats would starve to death. Their
principal food is the moss which
grows only in the far north. There
are more than 10000 square miles of
frozen tundra. or m~oss-covered ground,

ranches and can provide abundant pas

animals.
About ten years ago Uncle Sam
started his experiment of raising rein
deer in Alaska with a herd of 1900
animals. Now there are more than
10000 in the same herd. At that time
it was the hope of the authorities at
Washington to aid the Eskimo and the

Finally, Mother suggested that I

A change for the better began at once.
To-day l am well and am gaining
weight and strength all the time. I've

Co., Battle Creek, Mich
The favour of Grape-Nuts is peculiar
to itself. 1t is neutral, not too sweet
and has an agreeable, healthful quality
that grows tiresome.
One Of the sources of rheumatism is
from overlooking the system with
acid material, the result of imperfect
digestion and assimilation.
AS soon as improper food is aban-
doned and Grape-Nuts is taken regu-
larly. digestion is made strong, the
organs do their work of building up
good red blood cells and of carrying
away the excess of disease-making
material from the system.
