IL, $50 calves we're received durin
March of this year; 1000 in April
and II, 600 in May. Eighty per cent
or more of these calves were slaught-
cred and sold for veal. The calves
slaughtered would average in weight
40 pounds. There was then at South
st. Paul alone, for the year 1917,
converted into veal ID, 592, 800 pounds.
These same calves, if held one year
and then slaughtered at 600 pounds
each, would have produced 62, 736, OOO
pounds, a gain of 40, 143, 200 pounds
of meat and S3, 1874, 300 in money to
the farmer. Had they been held for
two years they would have added 81,
648, 600 pounds of meat and 50, 800, 36O
cash, and if held three years, as they
should have been, they would have
added to the meat supply 1O4, 400, 600
pounds and ST, 834, 100 in cash. These
figures are based on steer calves alone.
The heifer calves slaughtered, If they
had been saved until three years of
age and raising one calf besides the
milk and cream, would show still
greater increase in value.
AS the Live Stock Review points
out, it's figures show this tremendous
loss in the shipment of calves for veal

THE PENALTY OF EATING VEAL.

Statistics have been presented
showing the economic waste of eating
veal. The average veal carcass is
about 60 pounds while if the calf
we're allowed to grow and fatten for
couple of years would produce beef
carass of 600 pounds. The slaughter
of veal is attributed by experts as one
of the important fac tors in the high
cost of living.
The Live Stock Review of South
st. Paul reduces the situation to
figures which make the showing of
loss very impressive. 1t shows that
at six principal stock markets of this
country, calves comprised 16 per cent
of the total cattle receipts for the
year 1912. At South st. Paul alone
were marketed last year 40, 700 calves,
which was % per cent of its total
cattle receipts. At this same m arket

WHO SPREADS HOG CHOLERA?

There is only one way to play safe
in reference to hog cholera and that
is to immunize your hogs by vaccina-
ton with anti hog cholera serum, and
then follow it by vaccinating all the
increase.
We frequently hear men boast that
they never had hog cholera, that they
keep their hogs healthy and have
escaped the dread scourge that Ievies
a toll of $50, 900, 900 per year off of the
farmers of the country. The man
who has not had hog cholera on his
farm is indeed fortunate, but the
man who does have it is careless and
sustains loss that could have been
prevented.
But to return to the query of how
hog cholera germs are spread. There
are a thousand ways for spreading it.
1t may be carried by buzzards, crows,
dogs, rats, wolves, horses, cattle and
most frequently of all by men them
selves. A man paddles around In in
fected shipping yards or around some
neighbours barn lot and carries the
germs home on his shoes and then he
wonders how his hogs became exposed.
There is only one safe way to avoid
hog holera and that is by va ccination
and the farmer who is too careless or
too contrary or too stingy to vaccinate
his hogs has no more legitimate cause
for complaint than has the man who
refuses to have his family vaccinated
against small pox and who has an
outbreak due to his negligence. The
time will come when vaccination
against hog cholera will be compul-
sorry. The Hungarian government,
which has taken up the raising of
hogs, already has made vaccination
compulsory by law. The United
Safes government took a long step in
this direction when an appropriation
of $75, 600 was made "for demonstrat-
ing the best method of preventing
and eradicating hog cholera. +" The
first start Is to be made in Iowa

around Ames, where all hogs are to
be vaccinated and the immunization
followed up on the increase. The
government experts expect in this
way to eventually stamp out hog
cholera. Some day all hogs will be
immunized and then there will be no
trouble with hog cholera, and the
price of pork will not be quite so
high as at present. G. Stock

STOCK COMPETITION FOR FARM
Frs SONS.
Herbert Vanderhoof.

Notwithstanding the shortage OF
livestock of every kind in the United
States and the consequent need fol-
effective stimulant to the livestock
growing industry if consumers are
to be saved from prices for meats SC
high that they will be national hard
ship, nothing yet has been inaugur-
ated on big scale that compares to
the beef feeding competition in Can
ada. The feature of the first mixed
farming convention, which was held
in Lethbridge, Alta, April 10Th and
10Th was this very steer feeding COM
petition, for it is a plan which, ii
successful, will be adopted in very
large way by the department of nat
ural resources of the Canadian Pacific
Railway and early reports showed
that it was proving success.
There are entered in the competl-
ton thirty four boys, all under %
years and all living with their parents
in the irrigation block" of the
Canadian Pacific. Inspectors who
have visited all of them reported that
in every case the animals which the
boys are feeding we're in exceptionally
good condition.
Each of the applicants who could
qualify as to age was furnished with
eight head of prime beef stock which
they have been feeding through the
winter with the possibility of winning
one of the prizes of the competition
and with the certainty that they would
win some handsome profits from the
process for the reason that all the
weight that the animals put on and
the increase Of value per pound will
go to the profit which contestants
will receive, a profit which is esti-
mated at 1913 per head.
1t is figured that each steer will
gain approximately 200 pounds during
the feeding period if the methods of
feeding are right. The fat stock will
be worth in the market much more
per pound than the feeder and the
profit per head, under the conditions
in Canada, have been estimated at
S33.
The prize money in the competition
with which the plan was inaugurated
was $3.50.
Realizing that the future agricul-
tural prosperity of western Canada
will depend upon greater attention
being paid to mixed farming, the G.
