prepared by the United States Depart
nent of Agriculture)
According to investigators in the
department OF agriculture the average
net cost OF raising dairy heller one
year old on Wisconsin farm is 1882
and of two year heifer $6141 These
figures are applicable to other dairy
districts In the North and East where
land and feed values are similar to
those In Wisconsin. They are based
ON data obtained from raising lit
calves from birth to the time they
enter the dairy herd. The details.
with complete summary of the in
vestigation, have recently been pub
lished by the department Of agricul-
ture In Bulletin No. 40, under the
title OF 1.-THE Cost of Raising Dairy
Cow"
There are in the United States over
21,000,000 dairy cows. These figures
give some idea Of the Importance of
this economic problem to the coun-
try as a whole, for these cows must
be replaced every few years. The
cost OF the production OF these heifers
Is large item In keeping down the
profits OF the dairymen.
The new bulletin contains numerous
tables and several illustrations Of the
Jersey calves from which the items
of cost were obtained.
The most important item was the
cost OF the food, which was estimated
at market value and amounted to
nearly two-thirds of the total net cost
Of the heifer, while labor formed 1914
per cent of the cost.
Figures for the average net cost
Of the one-year-old heifer are as fol-
lows:

ss54s

To this should be added the initial
value of the calf. which was estimated
to be s704, making. "a total cost at
the end Of one year of $42.52. This
charge is justified in view of the fact
that dairy cows are credited with this
item In determining the cost of milk
production. BY allowing So credit for
manure. 1t leaves a net cost of 1882
at the end of the first year.
Figures for the average net cost OF
the two-year-oid heifer are as follows:

Before this / have spoken of the
great world trade OF Latin.America.
Naturally. the next question to be an
swered Isl What is the share of the
United States In Pan-American COM
merce? In answering this question
desire to dispose Of several bogies and
fallacIes which are too often pro-
claimed by uninformed writer's and
speakers. II is not true that the United
States has small trade with Latin
America. II is not true that the United
States Is being distanced by European
countries in that field. It is not true
that European exporters, manufacture
ers and importers are monopolixing
I.atin-American markets to the disad-
vantage OF those of the United States.
1t is not true that the Latin-Americans
prefer TO trade with Europeans rather
than with North America 1t is not true
that there are no good steamship IA
cilities for trade and travel between
the United States and these countries,
~All these conditions did exist few
years ago, but. as result of the ex.
traordinary propaganda and effort OF
the Pan-American union and of the
state and commerce departments Of
the United States. a vast change has
come about. and now the trade Of

torily that it should be encouraged L

Old Mrs Gray and Mrs. Bowen-older

they both wore checkered sunbonnets
and carried tin lunch pals to the
small red schoolhouse now two miles
from the town to which both, Wild
owed had moved after selling their
farms. And they would have been
friends yet. according to Mrs. Gray's
grim, puckered lips, if Mrs. Bowen
would not keep a pig. or, if she must
keep it, she would build fence Of suf-
ficient strength to keep it from her
neighbours flower and vegetable beds.
Goodness knows why she keeps it"
scolded Mrs. Gray to young Mrs. Jen-

broidery to spend the afternoon. 'She
can't eat a whole pig this winter. She

MY trouble began with breaking out on the

dead skin formed my face. Then it would
leave the skin red and irritated and would burn
like everything. My scalp was all crusted and
my face greatly disfgured. The dry crust
formed on my face and would get red and irri-

blisters formed on the scalp and it was pretty
