SURPLUS OF MILK
NOW EXISTS
Agricultural Specialists Be-
lieve 1t Will Pass With
Summer Months
SHOULD USE MORE
FOR FARM ANIMALS

Recommendations by Department of Ag-
riculture How to Feed Calves, Pigs,
Poultry and Horses More Milk for
Human Consumption.
NEW YORK, April 19.-Specialists of
the United States department of agricul-
ture have found that for the first time
since the beginning of the World war
there is developing in this country a sur
plus of milk. However, they add that
this condition probably will be only tenn
pOrary during the flush season, and
that it is most apparent IN wcll-developed
dairy districts
1T may continue during the summer
months" a statement from the depart
ment says. but is expected to adjust it
self by fall, when demand Will overtake
the surplus of supply. The situation is
largely due to the falling off in the de-
mand for milk in the manufacture of con
dcnSed products. milk powders. casein
and similar products, for which there was
a large export outlet
The ACCESSIBILITY of using as a human
food as much milk as possible is pointed
out by the specialists of the department.
Within the last generation an increased
knowledge of the value of milk in the diet
has resulted in an almost doubled per
capita consumption of milk. and conSum-
ers who purchase milk freely thereby en-
courage production. The department spe-
cialists believe this to be the best safe
guard against a milk shortage and high
prices resulting from the withdrawal of
| dairymen from the business during pc
| RODS of large production and low farm
prices for milk
But when the limit of human utiliza-
| ton is reached" the dairy experts point
out, dairy producers necessarily must de
| eide how to dispose of the remainder. In
many cases this will be a decision between
selling whole milk, selling cream. or even
| to use moderate quantity of whole milk
! for feeding. especially to young animals
1 In any event a more liberal use of milk
on farms should reduce the surplus. even
though not solving the problems entirely

MIR. BEAR PLAYS A TRICK.

MIR. Bear had been bothered gfeao

He felt quite sure it was Mr.. Postum

but he had never been able to keep awake
and catch them.
Often he had tried but every time
he had fallen asleep, and when ne aWohe
they had been there and taken with them
some of his stores.
MIR. Bear was a good-natured fellow ana
he disliked to harm anyone, SO he set 10

But instead of catching anyone nc

Mr.. Possum and Mr.. Coon had dropped
when they heard him coming and then 1t
was that Mr.. Bear made up his mind to
try his scheme
He went out of the woods and over
to the farm not far away and there he
hid under some bushes and waited for
Mr. Dog To come that way.
Mr.. Dog, he said when he came
along. Il have never harmed YOU and
I shall not now. but YOU must do something
