MILK ESSENTIALS AND COST
Results Of Two-Year Study on Number
Of Dairy Farms in Northwest
ern Indiana.

A twO-year study OF the cost Of milk
production undertaken comparatively
by the United States dairy division and
Purdue university, on number Of
dairy forms in northwestern Indiana,
has resulted in figures on the require
ments for producing 100 pounds of
milk in winter and summer To give
permanent value to the results, these
requirements were determined in
pounds of feed, hours of labor, etc,
and by substituting present costs and
values for various items a farmer can
determine very closely what it is cost
ing him to produce 100 pounds Of milk
at the present time
In the summer months the require
ments for 100 pounds Of milk were as
follows: Concentrates, 20 pounds; dry
rOughage, 27.4 pounds; silage and 9TH
er succulent roughage, 60.1 pounds;
hauling and grinding concentrates,
sO.014; pasture, 004 acre; human la
Dor, % hours; horse labor, OF hour;
overhead and other costs, $0.393.
In the winter months the require
ments for production were: Concen-
trates, 1856 pounds; dry roughage, 66.S
pounds; silage and other succulent
rOughage, 1915 pounds; hauling and
grinding concentrates, $O0S; bedding,
20.3 pounds; human labor, rs hours;
horse labor, O3 hour; overhead and
other costs, $0.3S5.
1t has been generally believed that
the cost Of producing milk was consid-
erably higher in winter than in sum-
mer; and while this holds true as far
as the gross cost is concerned, the fg-
ures obtained in this investigation
show that the net cost of producing 100
pounds of milk from November to
April was only 1.8 per cent higher than
the cost from May to October, inclu-
slVe, and that the total cost varied only
slightly from month to month within

DEMAND F0R GIRL WORKERS
New York Merchants Association Re-
ports 4 Shortage in the SUPPLY
Unskilled Men Not Wanted.

Unskilled male labOrers are more
numerous In New York city at present
than the demand for them, according
to a survey conducted by the indus
trial bureau of the Merchants associa-
ton, but there are not enough girl
workers to go around.
The results of the survey offer two
reasons for the shortage Of unskilled
girl workers greater use Of girls
and women in occupations perfomed
exclusively by men before the war and
q return Of the prejudice against fac
tory work that was prevalent before
factory work was considered a "patri-
otto service in the second line Of de-
Tense" A girl "can afford to be SEN
sitive" about the stigma" of factory
work, the report comments, as "her
father, husband, brother are making
higher wages and it is not necessary
for her to work"
The surplus Of men is explained by
the slack in the building trades and
contracting business under present
conditions, these being the occupations
furnishing the largest local market for
labor Another explanation
is that even the unskilled Iaborers are
getting such high wages nowadays that
firms which need that sort of help are
hiring as few as possible.

LARGEST STRIKE IS LOCAL
That at Tampa, Florida, Comparative
.UnimportaDt in Its Relation to the

ton Reported by the Department Of
Labor.

Labor disturbances in the United
States are now practically negligible,
according to information made public
by the Cancellation service Of the de-
partment of labor, which announced
that only 70 disputes were being han
died by the service and that only IL
Of these were strikes. In most in
stances employers and employees have
made definite agreements that the
questions at issue shall be settled with
out interference with production
There are a few loc. outs reported
but it was pointed out that at time
when great general strikes are being
agitated in Great Britain, when Italian
factory operatives have practically
revolutiOnized the system of industry
through their insistence upon having
an active part in managing, and when
100000 wOrkmen are reported on strike
in Saxony, the largest strike in the
United States is purely local matter
affecting the workers in one trade in
Tampa, Fla.

QUANTITY OF MILK TO FEED
Amount May Be Best Governed by
Body Weight Of caIf-creat Dam
ger in Overlooking.

The amount of liquid to feed the
young calf may be best governed by
the body weight of the calf fed. If
the calf is small, weighing 90 to 60
pounds, it should receive only six to
eight pounds of milk per day, divided
equally into the number of feelings
given. A heavier calf, weighing from
100 to ITO pounds, should receive 10 to
IL pounds of milk per day, properly
divided. AS there is greater danger
from overlooking than there is from
underfeeding, the rule of giving them
an amount Of milk equal to one-tenth
Of their body weight each day is a
splendid one.

Employment for the Elderly.

Statistics compiled recently by the
census buyeau show that approx
mately ten thousand men past the age
of sixty are employed weekly as mo-
ton picture extras in the studios
around New York and Los Angeles.
Each day there is issued from the stu
dos a call for hundreds of old men
to fill the parts of war veterans, rural
male gossips, jurists, courtroom spec
tators and innumerable character
parts of a similar nature. The de-
mands made upon the aged actors by
studio work are light, calling for little
physical or mental exertiOn, and not
more than two or three hours of actual
activity day. Their average income
from picture work is $3.50 per day.

More Workers Than Jobs.

For the first time since the begin

jobs to give them.
The conditions in Chicago, which
are reported as bad, are reflected else

and steel works in Pennsylvania there
have been large reductions in the
working forces and the curtailment of
employment is said to be only the be-
ginning of what may be expected dur

THOMAS RETURNS FROM FAR NORTH
 0N ANNUAL TRIP

Rev. William A. Thomas, Episco- pal missionary, who is making the rounds of Interior Alaska missions this winter in place of Archdeacon Hudson Stuck, arrived in Nenana yesterday from the lower river and will remain here until Friday, when
 he will go on to Fairbanks by train, and thence across country back to
 the Yukon. Mir. Thomas will con- duct the Easter services at St. Mat thew's church, Fairbanks, on Sun lday.
 The start on the long winter journey was made from Fort Yu- kon, with the dog team used by the
 archdeacon on numerous previous winter excursions. The places vis- tied included Circle, Stephens Vil-
 lage, and the Koyukuk, into which district the missionary travelled by way of Beaver, the northern trip ending at St. John's-in- the Wilder
 ness, on the Allakaket. It was the intention of Mir. Thomas to con- tinue on to the Kobuk, but be-
 cause of the absence of travel in that direction and the difficulty of
 breaking trail through the wilder ness, the trip was abandoned and Mir. Thomas returned to the Yukon after a visit of two weeks at the distant mission.
 ] Mir. Thomas followed the regular 1 river trail back to Panama, fol
 lowed the Yukon up to Rampant
 and then crossed over to the Hot Springs district, following the mai l trail from there to Dunbar's, where i he caught the train yesterday for : Nenana.
 1 Upon his return to the Yukon from Fairbanks, Mir. Thomas vii

 i In addition to visiting the vari
 ous districts as missionary, Mir
 Thomas also represented the censu:

bureau, havng been appointed agent iof the bureau by Special Agent Forbes.
 Mir. Thomas states that during the months of January and Febru- 'ary, which were consumed on the trip from Beaver to the Koyukuk, and out to Panama, only one sled party was met on the trail It was Ia proposition of breaking trail ev- anywhere one went, and the snow fall was very heavy. There seemed to be an absence of game of any
 kind everywhere except at Caro-, land that vicinity on the Chandlar. All along the part of the Koyukuk visited the natives were having d very hard pull to exist. At the
 mouth of the South Fork they were subsisting for the most part on lmuskrats, which also was the only kind of fur being caught. At the 1 lAllakaket, the natives were hunting ! as far as 75 miles out, and were seeing no game, nor game tracks.
 Only thirty half-starved dogs re-
 mained at the Allakaket village,
 and this was only a fourth of the
 usual number deemed necessary for
 the needs of the population. The
 situation at one time during the
 winter was so desperate that the
 mission was giving out food to each family in distress. One white trap iper with family was met on the
 trail, and he said that the only thing he could get was a few ptar-
 migan each day. The failure of | the fish run is attributed to the
 presence of the cannery at the
 mouth of the Yukon, seems to be ] the unanimous opinion of everyone,
 as there never was a time previous i to last summer when the catch of
 salmon was so utterly disappointing.

New York Exchange
StiH Sluggish

NEW YORK. July 2.-Money was
the pivot. around which today's- stock
market again revolved in its recent in
dolet fashion. A ten to fourteen per
cent rate for call loans. higher quota
tions for commercial borrowings and
meager offerings of time funds testi-
fled to the steady contraction of cred
its.
The turn into July was attended by
treasury Withdrawals aggregating
$40. 900 at this center. These op-
erations were augmented by an extern
sion of cash transfers in payment Of
other heavy mid-year settlements.
t An authoritative survey of general
conditions here emphasized the fur
ther conservation of cash, due, 1t was
contended, to higher discount rates. A
significant incident in come Jtion with
this tendency was the posting of an
eight per cent rate for merchants pa
per, equalling the high quotation of
the past thirteen years.
