Former Congressman Polite
Elvins, it appears, will be a can
didate for the Republican NOM
ination for U. S. Senator, to sue
ceed Senator Stone. This will
be pleasing news to his many
friends in the party. We don't
recall the time when Southeast
Missouri supplied one of the
states representatives in the
upper house, and tits time this
recognition were coming to US
and we would like to see Mr..
Elvins get it. True, he is still a
young man, but the Senate is
now so burdened with old fossils
that a few young, live spirits
like Elvins would help it a lot.

The Cost of Raising
A Dairy Cow.

According, to investigators in the de-
partment. the average net cost of rails
ing dairy heifer year old on Wis
consin farm is $39.52 and of 2-yeal
| heifer S6l Al. These figures are appli-
cable to other dairy districts in the
north and east where land and feed val
ues are similar to those in Wisconsin.
They are based on data obtained from
raising III calves from birth to the time
of entering the dairy herd.
There are in the United States over
q, 900, 900 dairy cows. These figures
give some idea of the Importance of
this economic problem to the country
as whole, for these cows must be re-
placed every few years. The cost of
the production of these heifers is a
large item in keeping down the profits
Of the dairymen.
Bulletin No. 40. 1.-THE Cost Of Rails
ing Dairy Cow" 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 food, which was estimated at
market value and amounted to nearly
two thirds of the total net cost of the
heifer, while labor formed l2l per cent
of the cost.
Figures for the average net cost of
the l-year-old heifer are as follows:
Feed S24.67
Labor 4.45
Other costs 636
Total 35,4S
To this should be added the initial
value of the calf, which was estimated
to be 81 OF, making a total cost at the
end of one year Of s42.52. This charge
is justified in view of the fact that dairy
cows are credited with this item in de-
termining the cost of milk production.
By allowing 50 credit for manure, it
leaves net cost Of $50 81 at the end
of the first year
Figures for the average net cost of
the 2year-old heifer are as follows:
Initial value S7.0i

up it was SO slowly that the birds took

ing along even the weeds. Some Of
the early peaches are as large as hick-
ory nuts; some trees are just in bloom
and some have not yet bloomed. The
prospects are good for lots Of peaches,

the M all Order

The small town merchant who fall

attack of the mail order house. Accorc
ing to the representative of one of these
concerns, who addressed recent con.
vention of newspaper men in Chicago,
the plan is very simple.
The new business" department of
the mail order establishment searches
the country for community, the mer.
chants of which believe 1t is waste of
money to patronize the newspapers.
Relieved of local advertising competi.
ton. the mail order men flood the resi-
dents of that section with literature,
describing the products in which they
deal, which the people need, require
and use. but which the local merchants
lack the enterprise to make known to
them. (
The result is we'll known.
II the merchants of particular COM
munity, on the other hand, happen to
be of the kind that advertise only sta
pie lines, the experts of the mail order
houses are quick to note it, They see
that the people are given the very in
formation Mr.. Local Merchant has fail
ed to supply them with, and which. ex-
perience teaches, is just that which Mr.
Average Citizen wants,
1t is easy to spot town in which the
mail order houses do land office busi-
ness. All that is necessary to locate
the kind of place is to look over the
newspapers. If the advertising col
umns are poorly patronized you may
know that the long distance merchants
are supplying by mail the information
that the short sighted local tradesman
fails to give the residents through the

Feed 4O,s3
Labor 78I
Other costs 1878
Total 69.41
Credit for manure 500
Grand total 6l.4l

One half of the feed cost the first
year and one-third for the full two years
is for whole and skim milk.
By far the most expensive period in
the life of the calf is the first four weeks
the cost being nearly double that for
any other four-week period. The high
cost is occasioned by its being depend
ent almost entirely upon W, com8ilk.
The man labor required 'tunesing =
heifer is about 40 hours du g the first
year and % hours the seconl9year. The
total cost of man and horse labor for
the two years is close to IS, The ma
nure produced during the two years has
been valued at So; consequently the
cost of labor is practically offset by the
value of the manure.
The item "other costs consists of
expenses usually overlooked in estimat-
ing costs. These are interest, charge
for the use of buildings and equipment,
expense for bedding, miscellaneous ex-
penses, share of the general expenses
for the entire farm business, and a
charge to cover losses by death and dis
carding. The total for these forms
nearly one'fifth Of the total cost of the
heifer.
The foregoing figures show that it
costs more to raise calves to maturity
than is commonly supposed, and they
support the advice which the depart
ment is continually trying to impress
upon dairy farmers. that it does not
pay to raise any but the best heifcrs.
scrub heifers and selling them
at S25 TO $40 apiece, as many do. is un-
profitable except on cheap land or Ut
der other very favorable conditions.
But it does pay to raise the best heifers
for in good dairy sections well bred
heifers are worth considerably mere
than $50 when years of age. Furtt-
ermore, dairy farmers as rule are o.
bliged to raise their own stock, as it Is
difficult to buy productive cows at a
price. In some sections Of
the west where alfalfa is worth only
"a or S. a ten, or in the southwest,
where pastures furnish feed the great
nr part Of the year. this cost may be
greatly reduced. Even where it costs
$50 to raise a hefer, two thirds OF this
amount is charged for feeds at market
prices, a large part Of which can bel
