DOES 1T PAY TO ROB CALF
OF MOTHERS MILK?
DIR. Glover Thinks Ii Is Saving At
The Spigot and Losing
At The Bung."

We are beginning to question
whether after all it pays in the long
run to rob .he calf of it's mothers
milk and try to raise the future COW
on whitewash and sawdust, or, to eX-
press it with little more modera-
ton, to try to raise the calf on sep
arator milk and patent foods.
Certain it is that the calf will keep
healthier and grow into better COW
or bull if given whole milk, at least
as part ration. Dairymen have
figured it out to their satisfaction that
whole milk is too valuable to feed to
calves and from the standpoint of
immediate returns, these fgurc
don't lie. But if we could in some
way estimate the ultimate loss in
calves that die from this treatment
the depreciation in value of mature
animals that have been stunted in
their growth and he price that must
be paid for milch cows, it might look
different. Is it not a case of 'sav-
ing at the Gpigot ard losing at the
bung?'--Geo. H. Glover, Colorado

THE DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards, July 2
Receipts of cattle last week were
quite liberal on this market and the
proportion of natives included was
plentiful. AT this season of the year
when grass cattle begin to come in
goodly numbers on this market,
price reductions are in order, and the
past week has seen a considerable
decline, especially on medium and
common grade cattle. Right good
dry lot fat steers and good fat cows
the medium grades were around a
quarter to so cents lower than the
week before and further declines of
about a quarter were registered on
all grades today. The medium kinds
of stock cattle are $1.00 to $500 per
hundredweight lower than two
weeks ago. The demand is very
good at the prices and a very good
clearance was made daily. Good fat
steers are selling largely from $10.75
to $11.75, with extra choice kinds
quoted up to $12. Good cows are
bringing 1925 to $40, but mighty
few of the $40 kind coming to mar
ket. Pretty fair cows are selling
from $3.50 to 1925 and palmer
grades from sS25 down. Bulls arc
bringing Sc to $3.50 and veal calves
are going from $12 to $3.50 Stock
ers in fair supply but the demand is
very limited. Pretty good light
steers are selling around S7.75 to
$3.50 and fair kind of grass steers
from $3.50 to $3.50.
Hog prices have shown some de-
cline in the past week. The demand
is good, however, and the Denver
market is relatively higher than
river markets, resulting in a revival
of shipments from river market ter
ritory to this point. Good fat hogs
are now selling around $15.15 to
$3.50, with medium and half-fn-
ished kinds down to $14.75.
Killers have been pounding the
sheep market materially during the
past week and prices are anywhere
from rs cents to $1.25 lower on
lambs. Pretty good fat lambs are
selling on this market at present up
to $16,50, and something extra
choice would possibly bring a little
more. Prices on ewes are holding
about steady with pretty good kinds
selling from $3.50 to $9S5. The de-
mand here is strong for good we'll
finished sheep and lambs, but, as has
been the case for a number of weeks.
the quality of the stuff coming in is
nothing extra.

Rio Janeiro. April 1.-THE breaking
off Of diplomatic relations with Ger
many is officially announced by the
brazilian government in q communi-
cation to the press. A combination Of
reasons is given for this action, the
official explanation reading:
considering that the inquiry and
the conclusions cabled by the legation
at Paris on the subject Of torpedoing
Of the steamer Parana established the
fact that the Parana was proceeding
under reduced speed, was Illuminated
outside and inside, including the shield
with the name Brazil and considering
that the steamer received no warning
to stop. according to the unanimous
deposition of the crew, and rather that
the steamer was torpedoed and was
shelled five times. and that the sub
marine made no attempt to save life.
then, in the presence Of such aggravat-
ing circumstances and in accord with
the note Of Feb. 9 and the telegram Of
Feb. 10, sent by the brazilian gov
eminent TO the legation at Berlin, the
Brazilian government sewers relations

"DiabOlical Plot"

The cOmpany's responsible represent
alive, who declined to permit the use
Of his name. said the tragedy was
the result of a diabolical plot conceiv-
ed in the degenerate brain of a demon
in human guise" and that the triple
explosion was due to a bomb manufac
tured from a shell by one of the en-
ployes Beyond this information, the
official refused to disclose further de-
tails which would tend to clear up the
exact cause of the disaster
An Easy Problem
It is known. however that federal
agents are tonight basing their inves-
t;gation on this explanation. Those ia

tured at the plant point out that
workman could have carried on a plot

particularly the women II packing OF
time fuses in the structure which was
wrecked.
Unless the bomb was timed, it was
explained. the plottcr must have met
the same fate as the rest of the VIC
tins. The present belief that the eX-
plosion was deliberately planned by a
fanatic or an employee who believed
he was doing a patriotic duty for
foreign nation row at war is shared by
Alba B. johnson, president of the Bald

A right or wrong start in 1917 will
make or break most farmers in the
South. We are all facing a crisis.
This war in Europe puts things in
such uncertainty that no man can
foresee the future with any degree of
clearness.
The sure and certain increase in
cotton acreage means lower cotton
prices next fall. Cost Of all food and
grain products is high, so high that
no one can afford to buy and expect
to pay out with cotton.
It's time above all others to play
safe; to produce all possible food,
grain and forage supplies on your
own acres; to cut down the store bill.
A good piece Of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to pay half your living. 1t will
save you more money than you made
on the best five acres Of cotton you
ever grew!
