The DEMAND FOR VEAL
is Rapidly INCREASING.


Washington. D. c The demand for
veal has increased rapidly, and NOT
ealy are the surplus dairy calves
slaughtered but thousands Of beer
calves as well, until a caIf viii now
sell for So to $12 when only two or
three months old .
This quotation from Farmers BulIe-
tin 5SS of the U. S. Department If
Agriculture means that unless the
farmer has unlimited cheap feeds. It
/. IS usually more profitable to marker
the dairy or duel-purpose calves than
to attempt to raise them, even though
some of them might make good steers.
While any deplore this heavy slaugh-
ter of calves, and legislation against
it has been urged, the consumers de-
mand must be met.
While the number of cattle has de-
creased, the demand for meat has ma
tnrally grown until not only have the
exports nearly ceased, but the packers
that they may provide cheaper meat
are now buying many cattle that were
formerly fed. The farmers who for
rlerly bought nearly finished cattle as
feeders have been compelled to pay
higher prices for such cattle or to
take thinner animals.
The cattle-feeding business has
changed greatly during recent years
Formerly steers from four to six years
OF age were fed in large numbers on
commercial feed at yards near grana-
ries or mills, or upon large farms
where only the roughage was grown
and the cattle were kept on full feed
for six months or longer. This meth
ed became too expensive, so feeding is
now conducted upon farms as means
of marketing farm products by con-
Verting them into beef, while the ma
nure produced is utilized as a by-pro.
duct for maintaining fertility.

sALUDA NEEDS LIGHTS.

needs them badly. How to get them

Fortunately this power site is owned

are willing to cooperate in every wa!
to devlop this power and bring it t.

CATTLE HERDS TO

Zimmerman, Leading Dako-

Standing Rock.

Fort Yates, N. D.. Oct. 21.-North
Dakota's greatest rancher will move
his herds to Montana. where he has
secured a new range. He is D. B.
Zimmerman, who has ranged thous-
ands Of head Of cattle on the Standing
Rock Indian reservation the last de-
cade.
Indian farmers on the reservation
say the Zimmerman cattle have raw
aged their farms. These charges are
numerous and have embroiled Zim-
norman with the Indian department.
The recent organization Of that part
Of the reservation in North Dakota
known as Sioux county will result In
the public lands being thrown open
to settlement as speedily as possible.
It also means increased taxation.
The cattle have been taxed by the
state and an adjustment as to the
amount involved was finally made af-
ter considerable delay. AS it will be
some time before the lands are thrown
open. smaller holders of cattle may
endeavor to secure the range on the
servation lands next spring.

Tho most important thing that the
war has taught US is that nothing big
is ever accomplished in a hurry. We
haven't the desired merchant marine,
because merchant marines are a
growth, not sudden creation. We
have not vet captured South American
trade, because trade Is not captured
In hurry.
We realize today better than before
the greatness of the opportunity. At
the same time we realize better the
fact that there is no royal road to
commerce. There are royal opportu-
mites, but the roads must be made
about doing business. and that is to go
about it in businesslike way. En-
thusiasm counts, but practical meas
ures control.
We shall have the merchant ma
rine when we meet unflinchingly the
logic Of the situation-though 1t leads
to subsidies. We shall have the
South American trade-the greater
part Of it-when we have settled the
primary problems Of banking and ex-
change and have accepted the funda-
mental fact that the nation that buys
the products Of one of those nations
l.. In the long run. the nation that will
sell Its products in exchange.
All this reduces itself to simple
proposition. Henceforth there must
be a steady. not a spasmodic, effort to
improve trade. Wise foundations
must be laid. or the end of the war
will see our advantage vanish. What
ever encouragement this government
can lend to American banking in
South America it ought to lend. Most
important Of all, our manufacturers
and exporters must find what those
people want and furnish it.
The war has also called our atten-
tion once more to the prime import
ance of our great domestic market.
Beside its foreign trade almost dwin-
dies into insignificance. Here, also,
we see that results on the large scale
can't be produced at once to order.
We are still dependent on foreign
countries for many things. we might
make them, but 1t takes time to do it.
Here. again, we see the necessity for
steady effort. And right here is worth
emphasizing the fact that of all the
forces that help to make efforts at
business improvement steady. contin-
