Cow Most Economical.

Much attention is now being paid to
efficiency, to economical production, and
to the nourishing properties OF foods.
The dairy cow has not only demonstrat.
cd that she can produce more human
food from given amount of feed, but
that she consumes larger amount Of
feed which could not be used as human
food, than any other farm animal. The
steer Of the future may be fed more
coarse feed than he has been fed In the
past; or, in other words, about the same
kind of q ration as the dairy COW is re.
ceiving. he will never be able to ap:
proach the dairy COW In economical pro.
duction or In producing Q food OF such
vital Importance to the welfare oi
humanity a. the dairy COW.
Jordan, director of the New York Ex'
pertinent Station, found that for every
100 lbs. of digestible nutrients the COW
returned 139 Tbs. of milk which contain
10 lbs. of edible solids. The pig on the
Same amount of feed returned 15.6 lbs,
of edible solids; poultry dressed, a.
lbs. the steer, 2.s lbs.; the sheep, 2.e
lbs.
Henry says: "The COW easily leads
all farm animals In her power to CON
vert the crops of the field into human
food, with the pig second, poultry fol
lowing, and the steer and sheep coming
lowest"
The Ohio Station estimates that only
IL per cent of the COWS feeds can be
used % human food. Further, the food
which che provides from the coarse
fodders and by.produots is the most re
fined aud essential to human welfare.
This We oonclusively proved By the
series of articles DR.. McCollum OF John!
Hopkins University wrote for 10 ant
which We published several years age
and again last winter In our columns.
Here We have In . nutshell the reason
Why the dairy COW holds such an Inn
portant place in our agriculture to th'
human race, and Why no other anima
can replace her.
