DAIRY COW AN
ECONOMICAL PRODUCER

Two facts stand out prominently
as reasons for the increased produc.
tion and use of milk. The first is that
milk as purchased on the market
usually supplies food material togeth-
er with the growth-producing elements
more economically than either meat
or eggs. The second reason Is that
the dairy cow is the most economical
producer of animal food. One great
law of food conservation is to turn
inedible feeds into edible foods in the
cheapest possible manner. The dairy
COW will utilize coarse materials, in
edible to humans-such as grass, corn
stalks, hay, etc.-and will turn them
into milk. Other farm animals also
are converters of coarse roughage in
to edible foods, but are not SO efficient
as the dairy COW.

THESE PLANTS AND
MATERIALS ARE POISONOUS
keep LIVE STOCK AWAY

Many sheep and cattle are lost every
year from eating poisonous plants and
other material. In many instances a
little foresight on the part OF the
owner would have prevented losses.
To cite one specific plant, most stock.
try know that laurel is poisonous, and
yet they will pasture their animals in
a woodland pasture in spite of the fact
that laurel abounds. Sometimes a few,
at other times many, animals are pois.
oned.
Other poisonous plants abound In
both the eastern and the western graz.
ing lands. many of which are definite
ly known and easily recognized. A
little precaution through fencing and
selecting pastures would materially
lessen the deaths due to plant pois-
oning. Larkspur. lupine. water hem
lock, darnel grass. wild cherry, loco.
white snake root. wilted sorghum. and
oak brush (shinny oak) are the more
common plants which exact q heavy
toll.
Inorganic poisoning of farm stock Is
also far from being of rare occurrence.
Common salt is definitely known to be
very poisonous to hogs and chickens
in comparatively small quantities.
Soap powder in swill has been the
cause Of death of swine. Antiseptic
tablets and rat poisons also have
caused deaths among farm animals.
Patent rat pastes, and even fireworks.
have been eaten. by fowls which later
died from the effects of phosphorus
poisoning. Hsa
Recently numerous cases OF lead
poisoning of cattle have drawn at.
tention to what is probably one Of the
most fertile and avoidable causes of
loss. Many OF the constituents OF
paint possess poisonous properties.
and 1t seems that cattle delight In
licking freshly painted fences. adver-
tising signs erected in the pastures.
gate posts. hangers. and stalls. and
wiping with their long tongues the
paint cans and whitehead kegs which
have been carelessly left exposed. The
result in most cases OF this kind is
death due TO lead poisoning. Such
deaths are certainly avoidable. and it
is much more profitable to keep the
cattle away from freshly painted sur
taces than to lose a number of cows
or steers worth SlO0 or more apiece.

Not Refreshing 70 Him.

On the line OF the Pennsylvanis
Railroad just outside OF Newark, N.
j.. stands a glue factory, which some
times emits a particularly offensive
smell. A lady who was often obliged
to ride on this line always carried
with her bottle Of smelling salts.
One morning an old coeatryman took
a seat beside her. AS the train neared
the factory the lady opened her bottle
of salts. Soon the whole compartment
was filled with the horrible odor OF
the glue. The old man put up with 1t
as long as he could, then exclaimed:
Madam. would you mind putin the
cork in that 'ere bother"

While the highly specialized farm
represents the possibility of great
profit, it also represents the possibili-
ty of heavy losses on account of the
tremendous Apctuation in production,
and consequently in prices. Of the pro-
ducts of intensive farming. In the
greater portion Of the country the
great mass of farmers must gain their
livelihood from the ordinary field
crops and the common types of live
