Meat Raising Evidently Not Profitable
to Farmers. +.


The large increase in the value of
meat animals on farms is probably
accounted for by the increased cost
of production and the increased con-
sumption or demand arising from the
fact that production has not kept pace
with the increase in population, and
in the case of cattle and sheep has
actually declined. 1t is well known
that producers of farm products are
the last to receive any benefit from
higher prices paid by consumers, yet
they are among the first to increase
production if there Is prospect or
realizing better returns. The very fact
that there is a present shortage Oh
nearly 100000 meat animals in the
United States since the census of 1910
indicates clearly that the business is
not profitable to producers; otherwise
every farmer and stock raiser in the
country would have increased his
herds of meat animals. 1t should also
be borne in mind that the estimated
average value of meat animals is their
value on the farm, and not the whole
sale or retail value. The farm value
or average price received on farms, Is
much less than the wholesale prices
and considerably less than the retail
prices to consumers.
Just what the difference is between
the price at the farm and the cost to
the ultimate consumer is not definitely
known, as the slaughtering records
are not definitely determinable at this
time. The total cost to the consumer
is made up of the cost of production
of the live stock (farm price,, the
cost of marketing and transportation
of the live animals the cost of manu-
facture into various kinds of meats,
and the cost of marketing and dis
tributing the manufactured products
to the consumer.
Figures on Milch Cows.
The estimates indicate the number
of milch cows on farms in the United
States is now 20,737, 900, an increase of
about one half of one per cent. over
the census figures of 1910. Meanwhile
the average farm price of mich COWS
has increased from $3.50 in 1910 to
s53.94. or an increase of 50.7 per cent.
On this basis the farm value of mich
COWS now in the United States Is es-
timated at s1,11S,4S7,0 600 as compared
with an estimated value in the census
year of $73S,1S4,000, an increase OF
$3.50 1903, 700, or an average annual in
crease for four years of s95,075,o00.
Horses and Mules.
The estimates for January ], 1914,
indicate that there are 20,955,000 horses
and 4,447, 900 mules on farms in the
United States, an average annual in
crease of about Ia per cent. over the
number shown by the census OF lSlo'
1t is estimated that the average farm
price of horses has increased from
s10S.19 in the census year to $10s.33 in
January. 1914, and in the case of mules
from s119S4 to s123.S4 in the same
period On this basis the total
farm value of horses is $2,291,-
0oo. 900 and of mules s550.697,0 900. The
i total estimated farm value of these an
imals is therefore s2,s41,6s7, 900, which
i is an increase of s191, asa, 900 over the
census year and represents an annual
increase of wealth from these sources
/ of S47,S63, 900.

Suggests Preserve for Moose and Big
#=5r Game.


Having been in the woods of Maine
nearly every year for the past IL
years, either on hunting or a hshins
trip, says Edward G. Kent IN The
Maine Woods, l am much interested
in the reports OF game killed from sea-
son to season. / note the decrease IN
the number of moose killed during the
season lust closed, and it is no doubt
due to two causes-fewer hunters go
ing to Maine this year, and the de-
crease in the number of moose in the
State.
do not believe that the increased
resident hunters license has had
much, If anything, to do with the les
SEEMING of the number of hunters this
wear. as / do not believe as many
sportsmen have found 1t possible to
get away from business during the
hunting season.
Your hunting license is none too
high and will keep no real sportsmen
away. Remember that the moose are
a great asset to the State or Maine.
Except in the states of Idaho. Mon
tana, Wyoming, and possibly Mime
sofa and Michigan, there are practf-
cally no moose left In the United
States. Maine, on account of its prox-
unity to New Brunswick, where moose
are yet fairly plentiful, has the best
opportunity of keeping for years to
come the moose as an inhabitant OF
the United States
The establishment of a reserve or
park In the Katahdin region would go
a long way to .-alp in the preservation
of the moose, as well as other wild
creatures, and it is to be hoped that
this will soon become a reality. 1t will
be much more difficult to restock the
woods with those or any other animal
than to preserve what are already
there, and while our children or
grandchildren may be in their day 600
advanced in civilization to hunt, [
have no doubt but that they will still
love the woods and will like to see a
moose there, instead of a stuffed spec

We're found in the milk, showing con-
clusively that the bottle was not re-
washed. -.
'tOnly one city has and enforces our
ordinances prohibiting the filing of
bottles on the wagon, but it is evident
that more restriction is necessary if
the practice is to be stopped. In visit
ing milk rooms / have observed that
it is a common practice for some
dairymen not to re-waSh the clean
looking bottles but to pass them as
being clean enough. 1t is needless for
me to comment upon this practice as
it is plain that it is extremely danger
Gus and conducive of interchange and
the transmission Of disease.
THAT all returned milk and cream
containers should be re-washed and
sterilized is a factor which cannot be
neglected in the production and de-
livery of clean, safe milk. The con-
sumer. must be taught to do his share
by not returning bottle difficult to
wash properly such as are often col
lected by the nlilkmen
"T'he safe of milk in grocery stores
and bakeries from cans is a practice
which is common and one which must
be guarded againstsin many instances.
The producer usually0sets in can of
milk from which the clerk usually
deals out pint and quart quantities
into a tin measure. These quantities
are in turn delivered into a pitcher,
| Jar, pail or pasteboard bucket, depend
ing upon which the customer brings.
| The tin mea sure in many of the stores
visited is too often a source of attack
/ from flies, and hot water for sterilizing
after each use is not at hand. SO that,
| If. any rinsing is done, cold water is
used. By the time that the bottom
| part of the can is reached, the chances
are that it will not pass the standard
| for milk, much to the chagrin of the
distributor.
In fairness to all concerned and as
a safeguard against unsanitary and
dangerous conditions. an ordinance of
some sort, either State or local, should
be instituted and enforced which will
prohibit the sale of this loose milk in
stores where the chances for contaml-
nation are so great.
In restaurants and lunch rooms
where milk is sold by the glass from
dip tanks, the product has been found
to contain much sediment. 1t is dill

cleanliness is adopted in these places.
Much has been said in the past
about the presence of sediment or, in
