FEED COWS LEGUNIE HAY

In cooperation with the extension
department of Purdue University the
United States Department OF Agricul-
ture last year made an investigation
of the cost of producing milk in l6
dairy herds in Porter County Ind. In
that study it was found that when
other conditions were the same the
dairymen who fed the largest quaint
ity of clover, alfalfa, and other le-
gume hays used SO per cent less grain
without lessening the production OF
their COWS. That Is, the dairymen
who fed legume hay obtained as
much milk from 62 pounds OF grain
as the others obtained from 100
pounds of grain.
Such a saving is certainly worth
while. Patriotism demands increas-
ed producticD the high cost of living
d m economical production;
npth those demands az met when all

tntir milk flow is mGmtaini at low

PREPARING ANIMAL s. FOR
SLAUGHTER

1t is important that an animal in
tended for slaughter should be kept
off feed from "a to SO hours. II kept
ON full feed the system is gorged and
the blood vessels loaded. In such a
condition II Is impossible to drain out
the veins thoroughly when the animal
is bled. and a reddish colored, unat-
tractive carcas will be the result.
Food in the stomach decomposes very
rapidly after slaughter, and where
the dressing Is slow the gases gen
Grated often flavor the meat, Water
should be given freely up to the time
of slaughter, as 1t keeps the tempera-
ture normal and helps to wash out
the system, resulting in a nicely col
ored carcas.
The care of animals previous to
slaughter has considerable effect on
the keeping qualities of the meat. 1t
is highly important that they be not
excited in any way sufficiently to
raise the temperature of the body
Excitement prevents proper drainage
of blood vessles. and If extreme will
cause souring of the meat very soon
after dressing. In no instance should
an animal be killed Immediately after
IA long drive or after a rapid run
about tie pasture. If heated by such
cause II is far better to allow 1t to
rest overnight before killing than t.
risk the meat spelling The flesh of
an animal that has been overheated
is usually of pale color and very
often develops a sour or putrid oder
within three or four days after being
dressed.
1t is also essential that the anima,
be carefully handled 80 as not TO
bruise the body. Bruises cause blood
to settle in the injured part of the
body, and often cause loss.
A SO hour fast, plenty of water.
careful handling, and rest before
slaughter are all important in secur-
ing meat in the best condition for
use, either fresh or for curing pur-
poses.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Chopper
valued at more than half billion dol
lars was produced in the United States
in 1917. Production was slightly less
than in 1916, the Geological Survey an
nounced in statistics for the year.
Production from domestic ores
amounted to 1,890000,000 pounds, or
38,000,O00 pounds less than in 1916;
output from primary sources. domes-
tic and foreign, was 1882, 100000
pounds, an increase of 103 900 900
pounds over 1916. Domestic produc-
ton was valued at 100000 900, en-
increase of $35,000,00O over 1916.
Stocks of refined copper at the be-
ginning of 1917 were about 129 100000
pounds. making the years available
supply, exclusive of secondary copper,
about 2.49o,000,000 pounds. Exports
for the first ten months were 953, ,976,-
900 pounds, and for the year we'll be-
yond tne billion pound mark, although
no figures are yet available. The sup
ply for domestic consumption in 1917,
assuming no change in stocks, was
materially less than the t,430O0O,000

Cotton

Reports that the French government
was heavy buyer Of spot cotton in
the interior caused the local specula-
tive market yesterday, after an early
drop, to advance to the highest prices
of the season for all deliveries. March
contracts sold up from 31.4O to 3l.97,
closing at 31.91, gain Of 32 points.
Other months were 28 to 35 points
higher on the final transactions.
1t was announced earlier in the sea-
son that there would be imported for
French account $4,000 bales of all
growths for the present crop year. SO
far exports to France have amounted to
about 900 bales, so that the trade
was prepared to accept reports of in
creased activity in that quarter as
based on fact.
Fair sized sales were again officially
reported at several of the Southern
spot markets, with prices ruling un-
changed to so points higher, generally
25 points above Tuesdays closing fig
ures. Houston showed the maximum
advance, and reported sales of 1861
bales at 32 cents for middling Exports
for the daW were 1858 bales, making
2, 60,l71 so far this season. No change
was reported in the ocean freight stu
alton, and shippers seemed doubtful
whether the suspension of the War
Trade Board rule requiring license
for individual shipments of cotton to
Allied nations would materially eXpe-
dite the export movement.
