dernourished stock with the cheapest
food he can lay his hands upon, while
at the same time he is forced to pay
the highest price for the boiled out
refuse that reaches him.
The Wicks committee learned
through the president of the Farm
ers' Feed Company. Gustav Halter. 10
later than December Is, 1916, that
even the chemists who are mixed up
in this boiled out brewery refuse IN
dustry express under oath CONSIDER
able doubt concerning the food value
of the denatured by-product which
our American food officials make TO
efforts to control.
1t is known that a diet OF boiled
meat fed to dogs without its soup cX-
tractives will bring about the death
of the dogs in a few months.
Brewery refuse is boiled meat min
us the soup, minus the soluble eN-
tractives minus the salts so essential
TO the health of the animal that feeds
upon il.
4 COW cannot produce milk upon a
diet lacking the elements of which
milk is composed. Yet, knowing this
truth, the wise men who control our
Departments of Agriculture do not IN
form the farmer, who looks TO them
for light, that the extensive feeding
OF denatured foodstuffs to cows ac-
lively engaged in bearing calves or in
producing milk is followed by loss
of vitality and lowered resistance TO
disease.
The food commissioners of the
United States know that cow pushed
to the limit of functional excitement
in the production of milk must col
lapse, must surrender to tuberculosis,
must die when fed on foodless food or
denatured food.
Notwithstanding these facts, the
food commissioners, commissioned by
act of the Legislature to exercise Su-
pervision over the purity and whole
someness of concentrated CONNER
cial feeding stuffs, have for years
played into the hands of the manutac-
turers and shippers of adulterated or
misbranded stuff at the expense of the
farmers of the present and the ami
NAL industry of the future.
Not only are the people OF the
United States eating bob veal; not
only are they eating the flesh OF tu-
bercular animals; not only are they
complaining of the scarcity and nigh
cost of veal, beef, lamb and pork, but
they are tolerating condition which
means that the future, not far re-
moved, unless these evils are correct
ed, will call upon them to face hard
ships never dreamed of in these days
of reckless waste and money-pursuing
selfShness.
The very stamina of the nation, #
the facts cited here are really facts,
is threatened. The very travesty of
to-day unless needed now is destined
to become the tragedy of tomorrow.
