suppose that the four-legged film act

BEETs ARE EXCELLENT FEED
Because Of Labor IN Harvesting and
Cost Of Handling Are Not as
Cheap as SlIage.

Sugar beets are an excellent feed
for dairy cows, but because Of the
labor in harvesting and the expense Of
handling, are not as economical as corn

nutriment than mangels or rutabagas,
but 1t Is generally held that the latter
win yield somewhat more per acre

HIGH COST OF PRODUCTION
Illinois Experiment station Secured
Reliable Figures From $50
Dairy Farms.

There are various estimates on milk
production costs and they are likely
to be different under different circum-
stances. Moreover. there is consider
able variation in milk quality, also, as
it ranges from barely, three per cent
butterfat test to nearly FIVE per cent.
However, none Of the figures available
show that the producer Of milk is
'prOfteering.
In Illinois the state experiment sta
ton secured accurate figures on milk
production costs from $50 dairy farms
with a total Of 1902 cows. Those fig-
ures showed the cost Of all items en-
tering into the production Of 100
pounds of milk as follows:
Grain, A pounds at S55 per ton. .$1.21
Silage, 1873 pounds at So per ton. SO
Hay, so pounds at $50 per ton. -. rs
Other rOughage, 80 pounds, at $40
per ton ...................... 10
Labor, 245 hours at 80 cents per
hours 10
Total cost per 100 pounds. .$3.46
The cost is 3.46 cents per pound, or,
taking 2.15 pounds per quart, 7.44
cents per quart.

dlcated by discharge and swelling.
The bureau of animal industry is not
prepared to accept the evidence Of the
eye test alone where cattle are intend
ed for interstate shipment. The test,
however, furnishes an additional safe
guard when used with the older
method.
The eye test is not well adapted for
use upon range cattle or cattle in
transit, because Of the possibility for
dust setting up an irritation not relat-
ed to tuberculosis. It has its best use
on the dairy farm, where conditions
are such as to give sure results.
The experts have observed that in

Perhaps the most worthy Of the
many worth while enterprises attempt
ed for the relief of flood sufferers is
that to be undertaken by the Pueblo
Rotary club. Realizing the helpless
ness OF the 2,S1S home owners in the
flood area who lost their homes, either
thru being entirely washed away or
demolished to such an extent that
they are beyond repair, the Rotary
club has sought aid thru its national
organization for the rebuilding of these
habftations, and the result has been an
almost instantaneous and magnamim-
ous response to a degree beyond all eN-
pectationa A separate organization,
called the Pueblo Rotary Home Build
ing and Rehabilitation association, has
grown out OF the movement. and with
the receipt Of many thousands of dol
lara, the new organization with r. j.
Weaver at its hnd and s. w. Pressey
az secretary-treasurer has cleared the
way for action.
The purpose of the association is On
tireiy that of lending money to those
who lost their homes in order that
they may be able to either build a new
size of the fund already permits the
committee to go ahead with the work
of rehabilitating the stricken districts.
Tho enthusiasm with which the ma
uonal Rotary clubs association took
up the endeavor may be seen by the
fact that the fund is ultimately cx-
pected to reach $3.50. 900.

Railroad Shares Advance

Those who have been looking upon
the railroad shares with favor were en-
couraged by the announcement from
Washington yesterday that the govern
ment will aid in the rehabilitation of
the carrier companies. The result was
some active bidding for number Of
issues. For the most part, however,
the major advances were in the low
priced rails. at is difficult to imagine
how railroad news can become much
worse than it has been,' said one wire
house to it's customers, "and as it is
obvious that buying under present con-
ditions is apt to be of the very best. we
still believe that this market is not apt
to develop an important reaction from
these levels until after the rails have
closed part of the gap that exists be-
tween their average selling price and
the average selling price of indus
trials"
