INDIGESTION CAUSES Sc0URs
Calf Affected Has Been Diverted, Been
Given Milk That Was Sour, Or
Pals Were Dirty.

When the calf gets scours It is an
indication that something is wrong
with the feeding. It has either been
Overfed, been given milk that Is sour
or cold, been fed sweet milk one meal
and sour the next, or the pals or
troughs are dirty. Indigestion is the
cause Of ,scours, so in treating the
trouble the first thing to do is to cor
rect the conditions that brought on
indigestion. Then give a dose Of cas-
tor oil in milk and follow with the
formalin treatment. This consists in
giving one tablespoonful of formalin
solution, made by adding one-half
ounce Of formalin to 15h ounces Of
water, in each pint Of milk fed. Only
half the usual amount of milk should
be given at feed for a few days,
when the amount can be increased to
normal again. There are other rem
edies but this has been highly rec
commended.

The Farmers Responsibility

how much responsibility can the
farmer have for increases in prices?
An analysis of his economic posi-
tdon shows that he has control only
OF his own labor, and all other factors
entering into the high costs of foods
are outside of his jurisdiction.
The cost Of farm supplies, which
enter into cost Of farm products, are
set by the business world. The farm
81 can only ask: "How much is it ?'
The interest on his mortgage and
other loans is set by the bankers.
His land value or rent is set by So
cial forces over which he has no con-
troi at present.
What he has to pay for hired labor
IS determined by general wage con-
GitionS. Others tell him what to pay
, for insurance, and for getting his
produce to the market.
At the market place others tell him
what he can nave for it.
So long as what he gets for his
crops covers the many cost items and
allows him to exist the farmer hangs
on TO his job.
About a third of our farmers hang
On only because they sacrifice return
on their investment, fertility OF their
soil, and their own labor, over which
they have control.
The producers news., 1919-09-05

They put up with less than laborer's
wages and they throw in lot of la
Dor and hardship of other members
of the family.
These facts lead to several import
ant conclusions:
l. If the cost of farm products is
to be reduced, it can be done only by
reducing the cost factors over which
others than the farmer preside. .
z. That If our cost-of-living drive
merely forces some farm prices down
and does not hit first these other fac
tors the labor return of many thous-
ands of farmers will fall below sub
sistence and they will quit. Others
will hang on by greatly restricting
farm operations. Decreased produc-
ton will then make food prices high
er than ever.
3. That it the farmers in general
hope for more than poor wages, thew
must organize to have voice in the
costs of their production and the sell
ing methods.
Organized American business and
not the farmer has set the conditions
which surround farming.
This business must bear sf1e full
responsibility until the farmers are
SO organized that they have some
thing to say.
