THE Cow, GREATEST
PRODUCER OF FOOD

The history Of civilized nations
snow that the COW, natural food
making machine, has been forcing
the animal which is consumed for its
meat, from it's old place among the
people.
This same process is now going on
IN the United States; the beef ami
NAL is giving way to the dairy COW.
Why this should be so, is readily
seen when we come to realize that
!of an farm animals, a good dairy COW
Is the greatest producer of human
foods.
From 100 units of digestible food
20 per cent Will be recov-
cred in the milk Of the average dairy
cow; but only I'd per cent will be re-
turned by. the steer in the form of

Prof. Hacker of the Minnesot a

OF OF the Missouri Station, after years
OF work upon Ibis problem, report
that, the. food value in the milk of a
good dairy cow in one year is equal
to the food value in the bodies of

Prof. Washburn states that the

the same food value as 21a tons of
wheat flour. At 10 bushels to the

SHOES WORTH NEAR
IN ST 1 r

New York, Aug. 3.-The "calf Of
gold" has acquired almost a literal
sense in the extraordinary leather
markets lately prevailing, according to
The Wall Street Journal. The skin of
she young bovine has appreciated in
price dignity until the finished prod
lct therefrom-the upper leather used
n fine shoes-now ranks almost with
he precious metals. It is now near
" as valuable as silver, despite the
doubling in price Of the latter since
1915.
The skin itself is now quoted on O
net basis of $1.05 to $1.50 a pound,
according as its weight ranges in
hree classes from five to twelve
ounds, the lighter weights bringing
the larger unit prices. In 1918 the
corresponding per pound values rang
ed from 25 to 80 cents.
The finished leather is sold by trade
ustom on a per-foot basis, the pres
sent market ranging widely from S1.40
to $1.50 a foot, according to grade
and colors. The wasteage in trim
ming-plus dealers expenses and
profits lis such that on weight basis
the lighter grades of calf leather
5ring about eight and the heavier
about seven times the price Of an
equal quantity of skin.
The net result, after applying the
scales to some current transactions
n the Boston market, is that the
leather sold by the foot represented
values ranging from As to 70 cents an
ounce, or $7.20 to $12 pound avoir-
dupois. AS in case of the skins, the
lighter grades--one and one-half as
against three ounces to the foot
commanded better figures. Colored
leather as being trifle lighter would
yield slightly higher figure still THAI
the black calf here used.

"pound" of silver is twelve ounces.
That quantity is now worth S12.54.
Which is not so much in excess of
