need BIG HERDS
Europe's Meat Supply Must Come
From America.
Warning Nations Have Depleted Live
Stock at Enormous Rate, Even
Killing Dairy Cattle For Food.

American stock breeders are being
asked to conserve their flocks and
herds in order to meet Europe's tre-
mendous demands for meats during
the war and probably for many years
afterward.
The United States food adminIs-
tration reports that American stock
ralsers have shown disposition to
cooperate with the government in in
crensing the nations supply of live
stock. :. -, = -,
Germany today Is probably better
supplied with live stock than any 9th
er European nation. When the Ger
man armies made their big advance
into France and then retreated vir-
tually all the cattle in the invaded
territory - approximately 100000
head-were driven behind the German
lines.
But in England-where 100000
acres Of pasture lands have been turn
ed into grain felds-the cattle herds
are decreasing rapidly. One of the
reasons apparently is the <declfSzag
maximum price scale adopted by the
English as follows: For September,
S17.76 per 100 pounds; October, SLIPS
November and December, $160S; JAN
larry, S14.40 The effect Of these prices
was to drive beef animals on the mar
ket as soon as possible.
In France the number of cattle as
we'll as the quality have shown On
enormous decline during the war.
Where France had 14,S07 900 head Of
cattle in 1913, she now has only 12,-
341,00O, q decrease Of 1873 per cent.
And France is today producing only
one gallon Of milk compared to two
and one-half gallons before the war.
Denmark and Holland have been
forced to sacrifice dairy herds for beef
because of the lack Of necessary feed.
Close study Of the European meat
situation has convinced the Food Ad-
ministration that the future problem
Of America lies largely in the produc-
ton of meat producing animals and
dairy products rather than in the pro-
duction Of cereals for export when
the war will have ceased.

BRITISH GOVERNMENT
Helps PAY FOR Bread

There has been much misunder-
standing about the bread program in
England. 1t Is true that the English
man buys a loaf of bread for less than
an American can, but 1t is poorer
bread, and the British government Is
paying S2OO,0OO,O0O a year toward the
cost of 1t.
All the grain grown in Great Brit
ain Is taken over by the government
at an arbitrary price and the imported
wheat purchased on the markets at
the prevailing market price. This is
turned over to the mills by the govern
ment at price that allows the adul-
terated war bread loaf Of four pounds
to sell at 1S cents, the two pound loaf
at 0 cents and the one pound loaf at 8
cents.
In France, under conditions some
what similar, but with q larger eX-
traction, the four pound loaf sells for
1G cents.

SHOULD RETAIN BEST FOWLS
Patriotic Farmers Who Desire to Do
Their Bit Will Find 1t Wise to
Keep Best Layers.

! Among farmers generally it is the
common practice to sell hens over a
year old for poultry when they stop
laying in the fall. Under the usual con-
! ditions this is good policy, for as a
rule only about half the flock lay well
;enough the second year to be profit
able, and the farmer who has pullets
enough to replace all his old hens sees
no advantage in keeping any of them
over.
This year, however, patriotic farm
ers who desire to do their part to in
crease the poultry and egg supplies
will find it desirable to retain consid-

CAREFUL ESTIMATE OF FEED
az Bran and Shorts Are Used Freely
In Dry Mash They Will Take
=. Place Of Grains.

One is compelled these days to make
pretty careful estimates in regard to
kinds Of feed for chickens. 1t seems
that bran and shorts are cheap as any
thing on the market. If these are used
freely in q dry mash with cornmeal,
making the shorts the predominant
part, the mixture will largely take the
place Of cracked grains. 1t can be fed
in self-feeders. It is q good mixture
for growing chicks whether or not
cracked grains are used, and can prof
itably be kept before them all the
time.

MAKING MEATLESS
DAYS PERMANENT

In the meatless menu there Is fer
tile field for developing new and nOur-
ishing dishes, according to E. II. Niles,
writing in the Hotel Gazette, who be-
lieves that the present shortage Of
meat and fats will not end with the
coming of peace, but may grow more
acute and continue for five or six
years, thus making 1t worth while to
develop menus Of grain, vegetables
and fish on more or less permanent
basis. Meat can be replaced by cereals
and other protein foods, or may be
served in very small portions as fla
voring for other food. In making up
meatless menus this author finds our
American Creole and southern cuisine

CORN WILL WIN
DE:M0CRACY'S War
Americas Greatest Cereal Crop
Is Now Moving to
Market.
MAINSTAY IN NATIONS CRISIS.
Surplus Wheat OF the United States
Has Been Sent to Famine Threat
ened Europe.
fAINSTAY IN NATIONS CRISIS.

Americas great corn crop, exceed
ing 3,OOO,OOO,000 bushels, will save the
worlds food situation, officials of the
United States food administration be-
lieve.
Corn is the nations best food cereal,
housewives are beginning to realize.
1t contains all the elements needed to
keep the body in state of health and
when used according to the scores OF
tried recipes, especially when COM
bined with an added portion Of oil or
fat, will sustain life indefinitely. In
dian warriors in colonial days lived on
parched corn alone for many days ct a
time, and at Valley Forge parched
corn was at times the sole ration OF
the Continental soldiers.
Owing to transportation difficulties
caused by the war the corn crop moved
more slowly to market this year than
ever before Now, however, the cereal
Is reaching the millers and consumers.
In the meantime the nations surplus
wheat has been sent to Europe.
Today there are approximately 30
bushels Of corn for every American.
This quantity Is greater by five bush
els than in former years.
Corn has become the nations main
stay in the crisis of war,
Just as this cereal saved the first
American colonists from famine on
many occasions, just as it served as q
staple food during the War Of the Rev
olution and during the Civil War, King
Corn has again come to the front in
the nations battle with autQcracy.
Corn meal is finding greatly increas-
ed use In the making Of ordinary white
bread, Hundreds Of housewives and
many Of the larger bakers are mixing
20 per cent. corn meal with wheat
flour to make leavened bread. This
kind Of mixture is worked and baked
in the same recipes and with the same
methods that apply to straight wheat
bread.
Corn bread-using corn meal entire
ly-is gaining greater popularity
than ever before. Housewives are
coming to realize that every pound Of
wheat saved in America means pound
Of wheat released for shipment to the
nations with which America Is associ-
ated in the war.
There are a score Of corn products
that today possess '.lusual Importance
for Americans Corn syrup for sweet
ening corn cakes and buckwheat cakes
and for use in the kitchen instead of
granulated sugar is one Of the leading
products made from corn.
Corn Oil, excellent for frying and for
every other purpose filled by salad oils,
is appearing on the market in large
quantities. 1t comes from the germ Of
the corn.

Now that poultry feeds, like all other
feeds, are high in price, the poultry
keeper should be more careful than
ever to Gull out and dispose Of all
runts, weak specimens and those which
are in any way defOrmed. While these
are allowed in the flock, they are con-
suming food and using coop and house

There will be good placer strike sometime between the Cas- siar district and the Great Slave Lake country, is ths opinion of Tom Wilson, one Of the discoverers of the Cassiar diggings in 1874 and one of the discoverers of the ricn Cassiar Bar on the Yukon in 1880.
 Pricr to that time Wilson was mining placer gold in Alder Gulch, Montana. Now in his 99th year he is taking it easy at the St. Ann's hospital. But he is still hale and hearty despite his near approach to the century mark.
 "The miners came into that coun- try" he said, "by way Of the Sti- kline river, just as they do today and overland via the Hudson Bay trail nurth from Washington thru British Columbia. Flour was not so high in those days as one ml6uI lWd6luS. we SoOtu NAtOA buy it for SS per sack after 1t had been 1reighted up the Stickine, packed across the portage and floated down to the camp on the Dease river"
 Even when they came into the country in 1874, MT. Wilson said excellent potatoes were being rais- ed at the Hudson Bay post in there. Some Of these, he said, were ship ped out to the States and took the prize at a big fair. The people were then talking about planting this Northern grown seed in the districts further south in hopes that such seed would mature earlier.
 As described by this old ppos- pector, the country abounded in wild game and fur beavers. "The beaver from the Desse Lake region were acknowledged to be the best beaver brought to the Outside mar kets." he said. It is today still considered an excellent country for game and fur.
