The Slaughter Of The In
n0cents.


Shall we kill our baby calves,
or shall we feed them until
grown?
This question has been sgitat-
ed for some time through the
press and 1t seems to be receiv-
ing q good deal Of attention.
Let US consider some of the
facts that have brought this ques-
ton 10 the front. In the first
place the supply of beef cattle
has been growing less each year,
until much alarm is felt by those
in touch with the situation. In
the second place the scarcity of
beef has caused the price of meat
to go up, and this fact is mention
ed as one of the causes OF high
cost of living. In the third place
those who are not influenced by
the two points just mentioned are
opposed to the slaughter of the
calves from mere sentiment Why
should we kill the cute little
calves rather than to let them
grow.
In considering the first point,
the supply of beef cattle, we must
admit there is cause for some
alarm The large ranches of the
West are being fenced in, and
farmed more extensively. The
ranch method of raising beef is
being supplanted by the more ex-
pensive method of feeding. Our
export OF cattle has increased
tremendously within the past few
decades. Our population, too,
has been increasing rapidly. All
these facts combine to make beef
scarce.
With the scarcity OF beef has
come also the rise of the cost of
living. We cannot blame the
beef animal for this. This ami
NAL has been affected by the
same eoonimical principals that
have effected other things, wheat,
corn, machinery, etc.
Probably sentiment influences
q great many people to protest
against the slaughter OF calves.
Why should we let sentiment af-
feet our better Judgment Is it
anymore Of a crime to kill the
calf than 10 kill the mature ami.
NAL? The same kind of blood
flows through the veins of each
and the characteristics are the
same,
These are perhaps two reasons
for favoring the raising OF calves.
With more beef, the price
might be lower. 1t is doubtful il
it would bs much lower, however,
since there are other factors such
as the cost OF feed, and the cost
of labor that could not be re.
duced. II more calves were ma
tured there would be more chance
for these animals reproducing.
There is a serious objection to
this method, as will be pointed
out later.
The objections to this plan far
out weigh the arguments in its
favor. In the first place it costs
more money to put a pound ol
gain on a two year old than il
does on the calf. The young
calf makes more rapid gains than
the mature animal. II the far
mers were compelled to mature
their animals they would suffer
a positive loss. Since the pros
perity Of the country rests on the
prosperity Of the farmer the
whole country would suffer, Sup
pose all animals were raised
What would be the quality o.
our cattleY The scrubs as vel
as the good animals would bG
Encouraged; we would loose the
benefits we have derived through
years Of selection and feeding
If such live stock law we're pas
sed, the results would be disas'
trous to the entire country. Th'

The Columbia Herald tells
about a farmer who has devised
a new use for silos. He has
made the top eight feet of a 46
foot concrete silo into a water
tank that holds about ten thous-
and gallons. The water is pump
ed to the top of this silo by a
gasoline engine and supplies
running water to the house and
barnyard. The heat generated
by the silage keeps the water
from freezing in winter.
Many horses are dying in Mis-
souri, from poison caused from
eating the fodder while they are
being driven through the corn
field at corn gathering time.
Farmers can save their horses
by muzzling them so they can
not eat the fodder while gather
ing corn. Many Missouri far
mers have lost valuable horses
by this poison, and it behooves
them to be more careful in the
future.

animals were kept, then we would
expect more poor animals. Most
animals are either poor, or me-
dium, in grade and these ami
mails would produce other ami
mails of the same grade, since
like produces like.
Thus we can see that any such
regulations would prove disas-
trous. The solution for the diff
Guilty is an economic one. The
farmer will produce more beef it
he can do so at a profit. Until
he can see a profit to himself in
raising beef he will davots bis
attention to something more
profitable.

MlMBRES VALLEY BOOSTER
MAKES VISIT TO SILVER
w. E. Holt Of Deming Addresses Stu
dents at Summer School

W. F.. Holt, one of Demlngs great
est boosters, formerly editor and CO.
owner of the Deming Graphic and
now secretary Of the Board of Edu-
cation of Deming, was visitor In
Silver City Sunday and Monday. This
was Mr.. Hollis first visit to Silver
City, and he was greatly surprised
and delighted with what he saw here.
He declares Silver City to be n very
busy and prosperous town, filed with
good buildings and fine homes, and
gifted with matchless climate. He
did not expressly say that 1t was
the finest place under the sun with
the exception of Deming, but that
much could easily be inferred from
his remarks regarding his own town
and the opportunities for investment
it presented.
Mr.. Holt was in Silver City for the
purpose Of addressing the students
of the Summer School, and at assem-
bly, Monday morning he spoke on
Vocational Phases Of Education"
His remarks were along the line OF
showing the Importance Of practical
education as compared with the more
strictly academic. He emphasized the
need of men and women who are
trained along vocational lines, espe-
cially in the cases Of those who leave
school early, and these constitute by
far the greater proportion OF the STU
dents. He illustrated by citing a
case where two men who we're en-
.pioyed side by side. One with a good
academic education was drawing
$3.50 per day, while the other with
n good technical education was
drawing SO, board being included III
both cases. His plea for more do
nestle science and more mammal
training was heartily cheered by the
students, so that they endorsed what
the speaker had to say on the sub
ject.
Superintendent Taylor of the Dem.
ing schools, who is acting as one OF
the instructors at the Normal, also
spoke briefly. He introduced the
following illustration which evidently
made a deep impression on the as
sembled teachers:
"Then shall the kingdom of'ednea-
ton be likened unto ten school teach,

recommendations and went forth TO
