why such a long stop was being

the fact that such an occurrence

L1afKeLeu, ana IL is the logical thing tC
do. They would be food MASTERS.
In general the two classes of farm.
ers or stOckmen who raise most of the
calves in the country are dairymen and
producers Of beef cattle. Let us first
take the case of the professional dairy
man who is in the business of produc.
ing milk. Say this man is milking q
head Of COWS, which represents the ca
pacity of his farm. He is producer
Of human food of a high ordar-milk
Should he save all his calves he would
have to sell some of his COWS, thus
cutting down the milk supply for hui
man consumption, and raising the price
OF milk, just to raise an animal that
would furnish more leather, but not
much human food. This would mean
q financial loss to the man raising the
calf, and loss to the worlds supply of
food.
The beef cattle producer, generally
has things arranged to raise all the
good calves he possibly can. He is
now doing so and being more careful
of them than he has ever been before
Obviously, man will do one of two
things where he is crowded for feed
and rOOm-sell the COWS or sell the
young stuff, and for the producers of
beef, it is better for all concerned
to pass the young stock along to men
who are in the fattening or finishing
business There has been a clamor
for breeding cattle of late and good
beef calves of both sexes are at a
premium in the country. The fear in
many sections is not that too many
calves have been sold, but that the
supply Of feed is inadequate to support
properly what stock we have saved in
the country
Which will you do? Eat veal, or
waste human food to produce animals
that are a financial loss to the pro-
Queer? Or would you refuse to con-
sumo the veal, eliminate the market
for calves, and thus necessitate the
selling Of COWS which produce three
to four times as much human food
from the same raw material at a profit
to the producer, just to get meat pro-
duced at a loss of feed and money, and
a hide worth $15.

CONSERVING THE HEALTH OF THE CHILDREN
War Time Precautions in Winter Time.

College Of Agriculture, University Of Wisconsin.

Nothing could be further from the
truth.
Fifty per cent Of the fatal cases of
whooping cough occur in infants under
one year Of age and at least one-half
of the fatal cases of measles occur in
children under two years.
Furthermore, $50 per cent of the
measles and % per cent of the whoop-
ing cough occur in children under five
years of age
When these diseases occur I'm later
life the fatality Is much less.
Therefore every year child es-
capes these diseases the less serious
they are likely to be.
These diseases are difficult of con-
troll.
Medical men tell us, however, that
all cases Of these diseases should be
reported and quarantined.
The patient should stay at home and
away from other children in the fam
lily.
Children having these diseases
should be kept home from school for
at least Is days.
All "colds" should be regarded with
suspicion and a child with cold
should be kept away from other chill
dren until it is quite certain that he
IS suffering from ''only a cold"
The greatest care should be taken
during convalescencc to avoid the dan
gerous latter effects" the most seri-

cessfully controlled by vaccination it
need not be feared. Immunization of
pigs weighing from 40 to so pounds is
inexpensive and If properly performed
permanent freedom from danger is as
sured. To insure protection, however,
the treatment should be given to spring
and fall pigs each year.
Many farmers, who in past years
have experienced heavy losses from
hog cholera, have become discouraged
and feel that this disease is so sure to
make an early temperance that it
will not be profitable to stock up with
hogs again. This is a great mistake,
for profits are certain from raising
hogs even if cholera outbreak occurs
so frequently as once in five years.
The hog has proved himself to be the
farmers best standby as he usually

furnishes the most economical outlet
for the corn crop.
Hogs have brought good prices for
some years and the prospects are
bright for an attractive market for
some time to come.
AS aids to successful hog raising the
following points are of help at all
times:
1. Produce good brood sows and a
young boar to found the herd. Hogs
of the best type will prove the most
profitable if handled with intelligence.
:. Hogs immune to cholera are de-
Slrable for foundation stock; but if
they are not available the serum and
virus treatment which will confer a
permanent immunity may be given at
time Of purchase. Sows we'll advanced
in pregnancy should not be vaccinated
for abortion may result.
3. Provide warm, we'll lighted and
ventilated quarters with dry bedded
sleeping nests, and a suitable yard for
exercise.
4. Clean, sweet feed given as bal
anced ration with plenty of fresh wa
ter are essential for profitable gains.
5. Always supply the hogs with
mixture of IL pounds Of powdered
wood charcoal, $50 pounds of common
salt, 16 pounds dried iron sulphate, and
s pounds flowers of sulphur in shallow
box protected from moisture. Keep
this before them to aid in resisting di-
sease. IAN ounce of prevention"-yo

% editorial by some fluent> writer
about the crime Of eating baby beef.
This writer admitted that it would be
folly to save the unpromising calves
until maturity, but proclaimed loudly
against producing the baby beef ami
NAL.
Experience has demonstrated that
the calf raised on high-priced land can
better be made into a one thousand
pound baby beef than kept longer, prin-
cipally because the young animal is
q better cOnserver of feed The older
the animal becomes, the more costly
the gains, because it takes mOrdfeed
to make the same amount of human
food
The facts. however, from reliable
sources show that:
- 1. County agents and others have
been very instrumental in saving calves
the last year or two. (Ths would not
be possible, though, If it didn't look
profitable to those who buy calves).
There is at the present time a great
demand for breeding calves of good
stockholm beef and dairy calves.
?. Packing house men state that the
past summer there were fewer heifer
calves worth saving slaughtered than
In previous years.
3. Poor calyes-that is, those which
would not, develop into either good
COWS or good beef animals-are being
