What II Costs to Raise a Dairy Cow.
There are over 21,00o,ooo garry
COWS in the United States and these
cows must be, replaced every Few
wears. The cost of producing the heif-
,ers that will keep up the supply Is.
therefore. a matter Of great import
ance to dairymen. Recent 1nvestga'
tions bv the department Of agriculture
indicate that in good dairy sections II
is profitable to raise only the best
heifers and that, except on cheap land
mr. under very favorable conditions,
the raising of scrubs does not pay.
On the other hand. the dairy farmer
who raises well-bred stock finds a
home market for the feeds grown on
his farm. maintains the fertility of
his land. and can ultimately dispose
OF his heifers at a profit
The departments specialists found
that In Wisconsin and in other dairy
districts in the north and east where
land and feed values are much the
same at the end of a wear it has cost
on an AVERAGE of S39.53 to raise
dairy calf and at the end of two years
S6l41. OF this amount, nearly two

death, etc. These items are usually
overlooked in estimating costs, but
thew must be met In some way.
This estimated cost, of course. may
be greatly reduced in sections where
feed is very cheap or where pastures
are available for the greater part OF
the year. In good dairy sections, how
ever, well-bred heifers two years old
are worth considerably more than $50
and. furthermore, it is difficult for
dairymen to buy productive cows at
a reasonable price. They are, there
fore, more or less compelled to raise
their own stock In view of the ex-
oense of raising heifers at all, it is
desirable that they should confine
themselves to good stock.

New Fish and Game Laws Of Illinois
Point Out Size Limit for Fish
and Say They Must be
Observed.
THROW IN SMALL ONES
New Statute Seems to be Confusing,
But Prosecutions Are Being
Made Under lt--con-
stables Have Power.

The Quincy Journal contains the
following summary of the federal and
state fishing laws, which may be OF
interest to the fishermen of Keokuk
who fish in Illinois waters:
So much has been said and written
about the fish and game laws Of I'LL
nois and Of thu United States that 1t
seems superluous to print anything
more concerning them, yet students
of the situation know too well that the
federal and state laws on this subject
are not generally understood. Worst
Of all, the confusion concerning them
is worst among the very people who
should understand the laws thorough
ly-the hunters and fishermen them
selves.
Perhaps the principal reason for
this lies in the fact that the laws are
confusing in their wording. The fell
lows in congress and in the legisla-
ture who wrote the fish and game
laws and enacted them into statutes
evidently knew nothing at all about
fishing or hunting. AS fish and game
experts, they are good after-dinner
speakers, and that's about all.
The worst confusion in the newly
revised state law, perhaps. comes in
the construction of section Al.
It must be etarnally, borne in mind,
however, that no matter what one may
think Of this section, as given YER
batim below, the fact remains that
there is still size limit on game flsh
caught with pole and line. People
who keep understood game fish will
be liable to prosecution and fine.
