WnO'S WhO.
The bureaus investigation
of the 1853 hiring practices of
some 3,70O Chicago business
firms, undertaken in conjunc-
ton with the Bnai Birth, un-
covered explicit statements of
discriminatory policy in 81 per
cent of these firms. Employ
ment agency officials contend
that the proportion of discrim-
inatory firms is actually high
er since many firms which do
not wish to state discrimina-
tory preferences to the en-
ployment agencies, are found
repeatedly to reject qualified
Jewish applicants referred by
the agencies.
The direct result of the high
level of discriminatory limita-
tions on job orders the report
observed, is reflected in the
placement records of one en-
ployment agency investigated
by the bureau. which indicate

In summary. il can be said that
thyroprotein feeding TO dairy
cows will result in greater milk
and fat production. However. the
cows should be fed about IFS per
cent of their normal feed require
ments.
Most low producing cows do
not respond Significantly TO thy
roprotein feeding. Neither do
cows in early or late lactation
respond significantly TO thYro-
protein feeding.
The major effect of thYropro-
tein feeding is of temporary ma
ture. lasting for 10 10 IL weeks.
after which in spite of moderate
thYroprofein feeding the cows
produce no more than they would
normally.
Cows that are fed thYroprotein
for the major part of the lacta-
ton period for successive lacta-
lions show a decrease in eff
cheney of milk production. in
creased mortality of calves and a
decreased rate of milk and fat
production in subsequent lacta-
lions.

month past their maximum lacta-
ton.
They conducted an experiment
during the fall of 1852 with 16 cows
from the University of Tennessee
herd. The 16 cows were divided
into two comparable groups: One
group was given a thyro-active feed
supplement containing Is grams of
thyroprotein in 8 lbs. of concentrates
in addition to the daily ration. Con-
centrates were fed literally accord
ing to production, and hay, silage
and pasture were the roughage
feeds. After 100 days the supple
ment was withdrawn gradually from
the ration so that the total supple

removed from a cow, her milk pro-
duction is decreased about rs per
cent. If the cow is then fed dried
thyroid tissue, or if the hormone
thyroxine is administered, her milk
production comes up to the normal
level again.
It was discovered, too, that if
dried thyroid tissue or thyroxine is
given to cows, without removing
their thyroid gland, the cows give
more milk with higher per cent
fat than normally.
However, dried thyroid tissue and
the hormone thyroxine is in too
short a supply and too expensive to
administer to cows.
After long experimentation, in
vestigators succeeded in producing
a substitute for the hormone from
a source other than the thyroid
gland. In 1888, two German scien-
fists found that the addition of iodine
to proteins under certain chemical
conditions makes product that
acts like dried thyroid tissue when
fed to animals. Reineke and Turner
from the Missouri Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station found that iodine
could be added to skim milk under
certain conditions and a product
would be formed that acted like
dried thyroid tissue when fed to
animals. Further experimental work
disclosed that actually the hormone
thyroxine was produced by this
process.
Thyroxine Product
Now, casein (the major milk pro-
tein) is treated with iodine under
certain temperature and other con-
ditions to produce a substance which
contains approximately three per
cent thyroxine. This material, which
can be produced more cheaply and
is more active than dried Thyroid
tissue when fed to animals, is vari-
ously known as thyroprotein, thyro-
protein and thyrolactin.
The thyroprotein can be incorpo.
rated into dairy cattle feeds withou
loss of potency, either during the
moderately high temperatures OF
the concentrate feed-cubing process:
or during subsequent storage under
farm conditions.
The powerful effects of feeding
thyroprotein on milk production anC
milk fat production of dairy cattle
are recognized by all research mel
and farmers who have had exper
fence with its use. The results from
the different experiment station
that have fed thyroprotein, indicat
that feeding thyroprotein to dair
cows under certain conditions ma
increase milk production by as niue
as 20 per cent. The fat percentag
will also be increased, accordingly
Variations in Effect
It has also been learned that tn
cows vary in their response I
thyroprotein feeding according
the stage of lactation that they al
in. Several workers have found Il
response if the thyroprotein is fe
to the fresh cow. Likewise, ve1
little response is evident during tt
last month or two of lactation. tt
largest response is produced durir
