Factorys That Make
100 Pounds OF
Milk--Net Cost Var
les Slightly With
Season

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 farms in northwestern In
diana, has resulted in figures o nthe
requirements of producing 100 pounds
of milk in winter and in 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 the various items a farmer
can determine very closely what it is
|costing Inn to produce 100 pounds OF
milk at the present time.
Reduced to Figures
In the summer months the require
ments for 100 pounds of milk were as
follows: Concentrate, 20 pounds;
|dry roughage, 274 pounds; silage and
other succulent roughage, COL pounds;
hauling and grinding concentrates
s0O14; pasture, O.04 acre; human Ia
lbor, 90 hours; horse labor, or hour;
overhead and other costs. $0..393.
In the winter months the require
ments for production were: Concen-
trates, 3S.6 pounds; dry roughage,
sos pounds silage and other succulent
roughage, 1875 pounds; hauling and
grinding concentrates, $0.03; bedding,
|2O.3 pounds; human labor, 20 hours
horse labor, 0.3 hour; overhead and
other costs, $0.SS5.
1t has been generally believed that
the cost of producing milk was con-
siderably higher in winter than IN
summer; and while this holds true as
far as the gross cost is concerned,
the figures obtained in this investi-
CATION show that the net cost OF pro-
ducing 100 pounds of milk from NO
yember to April was only LIS per
cent higher than the cost from May
to october, inclusive, and that the
total cost varied only slightly from
month to month within each OF these

A Fortune in Cats Fur

In the old nursery story of "Puss-
|in-Boots" clever cat made his mas
tiers fortune and turned him from
poor miller into rich man who mar
|ried the kings daughter
Today it almost seems as if puss.
whether clever or not, is again in a
position to make her owner a wealthy
person, for nowadays, when all furs.
are mounting so rapidly in price, that
of our household pet is worth quite
a respectable sum.
Black skins are the bost valuable.
Those of ordinary house cats bring
from IS to lbs ($1.50 to 1925 nor
mally) each, and the demand for them
can be estimated from the fact that
one catalogue alone, of all those issued
by different furriers for the recent big
London fur sales, offered twenty
thousand house cat skins.
The fur for our domestic pet is. in
fact, extensively used for coat Innings.
No wonder cat stealing is a remu-
nerative form of crime, and one often
hears of whole neighborhoods being
deprived of all their cats by the depre-
dations of thieves with an eye to
money making.
One cannot help feeling that if the
value of pussey were better known
people would make haste to stop
drowning all but one or two in every
litter of kittens, and would take good
care, when they moved, or went on a
holiday, not to leave their family pet
Ito the tender mercies of the streets.
For she is, or could easily be, very
valuable commodity.
Her fur is not her only asset. The
rat plague is one of the tipics of the
moment; it's extension is causing wide
spread CONSERVATION; and in this con-
|necton the household cat is almost
worth her weight in gold.
The damage done by rats is almost
incredible.
tits calculated that their ravages
cost Great Britain something more
than $50 million dollars ayear. Rats
ARE exceedingly rapid breeders, and
multiply at an almost incredible rate,
and they can gnaw their way through
brick walls and everything short Of
concrete. One rat will consume so
pounds of grain in a year.
In period of afortnight rats car
ried away seventy-one dozen eggs
from certain merchants premises
think what eggs cost at the present
time. Every cargo ship that sails
bears its complement of scores of rats
and they are a great menace.
Cats would multiply rapidly If they
were cared for in a scientific way. in
stead of being so often put outof the
world almost as soon as they enter it.
We cannot afford to neglect the lit
tie animal which offers us two distinct
possibilities-warm for the cold
weather and the preservation of ~our
food supplies against
the voracious rats.
There is room for new and -four
ishing industry in the breeding of cats
for profit. The enterprising may make
the old fairy tale come true, and dis
cover that puss can bring fortune
to his owner in real life as well as in
fable.
