Heave a Brick At Him

Honestly, this seems to be the at
titude of some minds in regard to the
stranger without the gate. Who Is
he, where did he come from, what's
his business? Suspicion sticks out all
over, and it takes years sometimes
for the newcomer to live down the dis
advantage of being the newcomer. We
know a little town where there has
grown up a regular aristocracy-ran
aristocracy that looks with suspicion
on the newcomer. 1t is this that has
given rise to that foolish talk known
as "that home town stuff"
Recently the New York Sun had
something to say along this line, con-
demning the practice vigorously, as
it should be condemned. We like the
attitude of the west in regard to this
topic. Take a man as you find him; /;
take him as he lives and works, as he
treats his family and his neighbors
and let it go at that.
Why heave that brick at the new
conner? When we recall that the u. S.
is made up of those same "newcom-
ers." it gives us an excellent prece-
dent on which to base our action. New
blood is always welcome in every live
American community. 1t is the new
blood that has done much to place the
country and cities in the position they
now stand.-Ex.

estimate as to make the figures Sc
cured practically valueless. But the
bureau of markets, IN undertaking an
investigation into the costs of mark
citing farm products, has approached
to bring forth complete and anthem
tic information upon which can be
based intelligent reasoning as to
what reforms or changes may be
needed in the system of marketing.
Only two Of the many farm pro-
ducts have been selected for study
at this time-milk and potatoes. DR..
Lewis H. Haney, who Is in immedi-
ate charge of the work, is basing his
results on actual cost figures con-
nected with the handling of potatoes
and milk from the producer straight
thru to the ultimate consumer: Fig
ures capable Of reconciliation with
q profit and-loss statement OF the
business concerns from which they
are obtained. Rather than put out
anything short Of absolutely &C

limitN the number of cases reported
on. .
THE cooperation we are receiving
from the dealers is very gratifying.
and is, indeed. a paramount feature
of our work." says George Livingston,
chief of the bureau of markets
without this splendid cooperation
our investigations would be much
more difficult to conduct.
The cost of marketing division OF
the bureau Eesan active work last
June and already has gathered re-
Forts covering a considerable number
of potato dealers. The milk investi-
satisfactory speed. am certain that
the cost of marketing division will,
when it's work is completed, have in
formation of real value to give to the
public. Certainly no investigation
could be conducted which is of great
err concern to everyone, producer
dealer and consumx. There is no
subject upon which the public more
greatly desires enlightenment, or is
more richly entitled to it,
While securing cost figures, the
bureau is also ascertaining the prices
paid for the chief kinds of materials
,and supplies used in the marketins
system for potatoes and milk, as well
as complete data concerning the
wages paid to all those engaged in
the work OF distribution.
One of the principal reasons that
milk was chosen as one of tho first
commodities to receive. attention is
that 1t is practically the only farm
product which has but one step from
producer to consumer. Another is
the widespread agitation in nearly
all sections of the country concerning
the prices of this important article
of food. Moreover TIE milk trade in
its broadcast aspect includes business
methods ranging az the way from
simple trading TO highly specialized
manufacturing.
Potatoes were chosen because no
other farm product is regarded as a
mo.'e staple food and because near
~ every person in the land eats po-
tatoes once. twice or even three
times a day. In addition to this the
marketing Of potatoes involves many
}seps. Perhaps few farm raised COM
rnoditics are handled as often before
reaching the consumer.

Corn Ration Must
Haze Other Feed,

It has now been known for some
years that corn by itself is not ar
economical cattle feed. The reason
for this is that about one-half of the
proteins in corn are deficient in some
Of the essential compounds needed tc
produce growth. In order to make
corn more efficient, it is therefore
necessary to mix the corn with other
cattle feeds which contain an abun-
dance of those compounds which are
lacking in corn. Experiments along
this line have recently been carried
out by the United States department.
of agriculture. It has been show
that when certain concentrates such
as cocoanut press cake, peanut pres
cake, soy bean press cake, or cot
tonseed press cake are added to tie
corn more rapid growth results and
the mixture Of proteins is much
more efficient and economical thar
the proteins Of corn alone. 1t is
therefore very important that the
cattle, feeder should so mix his diet
that Ne can get the greatest amount
of growth from the least quantity of
protein used, since the protein is the
most expensive constituent in his
feed.
1t has been found that about 40
per cent Of cocoanut press cake or %
per cent of soy bean press cake or
peanut press cake, mixed with corn,
furnishes a very efficient diet. It is
not safe, however, to add SO much
cottonseed press cake. since cotton
seed is frequently toxic and is or
dinarily not fed to cattle in amounts
of more than three or four pounds a
day. The experiments which have
been performed indicate that when
corn is properly mixed with the press
cakes mentioned above about twice
as much growth can be obtained on
a pound Of protein from the mixture
as on corn proteins alone.
While exact data has not been OBJ
tanned, the experiments thus far
show that great economy can be
achieved by mixture Of other protein
foods with corn.
