price. the COW will more and more dis
place the strictly meat-prOducing farm
animals. She produces human food
with greater economy than does the
steer, sheep or pig. The United States
census for 1910 shows an increase of
about 20 per cent in dairy stock while
the total number of all cattle has de-
creased.
'tIt is interesting to learn that Lady
Oak, a HOlstein COW, now owned by
the Minnesota experiment station, in
one day produced in her milk an
amount of human food equal to calf
weighing 115 pounds. In a years rec
ord this COW produced 993 pounds of
fat, 631 pounds of protein and 1852
pounds of carbohydrates. This product
was equal to 266 calves weighing 125
pounds each, or 142 calves weighing
200 pounds each, % yearlings weighing
500 pounds each, or 5 steers weighing
J, 100 pounds each. These figures indi-
cate the wonderful efficiency of the
dairy animal as an economical pro-
ducer of human food"
Princess CarlOtta, a cow owned by
the dairy department Of the University
OF Missouri, In one year produced more
human food in her milk than is con-
tanned in the complete carcasses of
four steers weighing 1850 pounds each.
This statement, impossible as it seems,
is not only true, but does not even do
full justice to the COW. The solids in
the milk. which are completely digesti-
BILE, are counted against the entire car
Icass of the steer, only part Of which is
edible.
The total amount Of dry matter In
the milk was 2,21S pounds, all Of which
is edible and digestible.
The steer. with live weight OF I ,25C
pounds, contained 56 per cent of water
In the carcass, leaving a total of 54s
pounds OF dry matter. In this dry mat
ter of the steer is included hair and
hide, bones and tendons, organs OF di-
gestion and respiration, in fact, the en-
tire animal, a considerable portion OF
which is not edible. The analysis OF
the steers carcass was made from
samples taken after grinding up to

The ordinary colt is best weaned

months of age. If the mare has
been re-bred or is kept at constant
hard work, four months is none too
soon, otherwise, six months If prop
erly handled, weaving is a simple mat

be gradually accustomed to a rather

TROUBLE WITH CHICKS LEGS
Afflicted Fowls Cannot walk, but APP

else Is Lacking.

In many f1ocks. without apparent
cause, some OF the chicks lose control
OF their legs. The afflicted chicks can
not walk. but their appetites remain
undated. This condition usually re-
suits from too heavy feeding without
sufficient exercise.
The chicks legs, through the lack
Of exercise, have become too weak TO
carry the rapidly increasing weight

These are some of the facts indfcat-
ed by the poster which explains why
a survey OF the live stock producers
shows that those who are producing
the good stock are the ones who stay
in business when so many others are
dropping out.
From the breeding standpoint the
important steps are ID the use of
tried purebred sires, 20 proper feed
ing of breeding animals, 90 careful
culling of barren and poor-breeding
females, and (4) replacing culls with
the DeSL 1eLudISS III each SSdSOn pEO-
duce.
Since it costs little or no more
profits TO produce an eight-cent steer
than it does to produce a f1ve-cent
steer, the profits to be derived from
producing live stock on corn belt farms
is limited by the quality of the ami
mails. Good sires must be secured and
the herd must be carefully culled.
Last but not least, the marketing
problem must be carefully handled.
Cooperation with neighbors is often
essential if purchases and sales are
to be made to the best advantage.

GomperS Misrepresentation.
There Is developing a serious question
among labor leaders as to whether
Samuel Gompers has not betrayed
labor and the Federation OF which
he is the head by advocating the Nd
amson bill and supporting President
Wilson because of it. In November,
1914, the American Federation Of
Labor adopted the following resolu-
ton:
Resolved. That the American
Federation of Labor, as in the past.
declares that the regulation of
wages and hours Of labor should be
undertaken through trades union
| activity and not by legislation, ex-
cept insofar as the enjoyment of
women and children, health and
morals, and the employees of the ma
/ tional, state and municipal govern
ments are affected"
| This same resolution was APP
proved again in November, 1915.
How Mr.. Gompers can reconcile his
present attitude with that resolution
stands unexplained. The result which
the Federation wisely foresaw is
rapidly approaching. Railway man
ayers are already asserting that Oy
the Hepburn bill Congress has fixed
the rates which the railways may
charge; that by the La Toilette bill
| (providing maximum OF sixteen
hours) Congress has fixed hours of
labor: that by the Adamson bill Con-
gress has fixed the wages of twenty
per cent of the railway employees;
and that it remains only for Con-
gress to fix the compensation OF tho
remaining eighty per cent and then
by law to prohibit strikes, and all
labor controversies on common car
riers will be forestalled for all time.
AS one labor leader warns his fellow
unionists, do you want your or
ganization to become simply an in
surance association, and have your
hours. wages and grievances dis
posed of by legislation? That is just
what the Adamson law means"
