Aspects Of Cattle Production

The worid's cattle production and
population have very important in
fluence upon the cattle feeding bust
ness, and clear conception of world
wide influences will aid in forming
correct estimate of conditions.
Geographic Distribution-There are
approximately 450,000,000. cattle in
the entire world; in the United States
there are (estimated) 100000, or
about 16 per cent. However, consid-
ering type and size of animals, it is
estimated that the United States pro-
duces onc-third Of the world Is supply.
Ratio of Cattle to Population
The United States contains ~ cat
tie per capita; this in comparison to
AIT in Argentine and .18 in Italy.
Ratio of number of cattle to area in
this country is 23 cattle per square
mile; Belgium 164, and Canada 2.
Decline of American Supplies
Shown in exports and marketing at
principal points, exports have since
1906 shown steady decline and must
surely cease unless production in
creases.

Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys,
they become overworked; get sluggish,

urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is
irritated, and you may be obliged to
seek relief two or three times during
the night. When the kidneys clog you
must help them flush off the bodys
urinous waste or you'll be real sick
person shortly. At first you feel DUH
misery in the kidney region, you suf-
fer from backache, sick headache, diz-
ziness, stomach gets sour, tongue coat
ed and you feel rheumatic twinges
when the weather Is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots Of water:
also get from any pharmacist four
ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoon
full in glass of water before break
fast for few days and your kidneys
will then act fine. This famous salts il
