The Dairy Cow

(0. E. MleKonnlo.)

I. sometimes think that even the ‘he! of our dairymen do not appre- ciate the “Old Dairy Cow" as they should, for if they did ahe would hold even a higher place than’she now does.

Let me give your readers the opinion of every bank‘ manager 1 have ever mot, as wellas the fol- lowing quotations from the Wail Street Journal, the official organ of the great financiers m‘ Ameri- 12B. ‘the dairy cow to relieve the credit situation. She is doing it, bless her

onest heart. Taken in connect- with ‘hogs and poultry. the dairy cows have been among the strongest upholders of business in any period of depression.

There ‘has been no great defia- tion in dairy produitn; in foet we are receiving much better prices to day for dairy produts and by-pro- duts, than we did twenty year-s ago The market prices given us of twenty years ago are not nluch ‘better than two thirds of present prices. Therefore we see that the cow lndorses bhe farmer's note and according to any banker it is "good ‘paper’. ing him out 1n e indorsntion she furnishes the ready cash to liquidate it‘. In dairy sections we rwrely hear of any talk b1.‘ the bu- siness melt of not being able to meet obligations. The answer gi- ven you by any banker as to what. he thinks of dairying, if he has bad any experience with rural com munitics is always that dairying is the surest,_ safest and most pro- fitaible of all branches of farming. Dairying brings in n steady cash income; the milk and cream crops never fail, and there is :1 steady and over increasing demand for

necessary loss of sight is still being willed by the failure to se- cure adequate prevention tilcasur- cs and prompt, skilled treatment _t'0r ophtllulmia neonatorum, and urges the Ministry of health‘ to in-‘ atltute an enquiry into the caus- es of such failure."

If there was further need to de- monstrate the urgency of this problem in Great Britain, one has only to turn to the Ministry p1 health statistics, where one finds that 10,604 cases of ophthalmla neonatorum were notified in 1920 And GreetBrtain ls but one of many countries where this dis- ease is making its yearly ravages.

It is the same cry again-more infant welfare centres, more pub- lic health nurses and trained mid- wives-and people feel in their pockets and shake their heads. They would like to do it but the country cannot afford it. Yet every shilling spent now on safe- guarding u baby's eyesight W111 save the country many pilullllil later which would otherwise he spent in supporting that child in a blind institution.

A cheap food. is one which furnishes to the body the large-st amount of healthful digest ible food at ‘the least cost per pound of edtible food. Milk and dairy products cost less for each pound of actual food obtained than a like amount of food. found in other animal. products.

YWe most not forget about the largo amount of waste material in all of the common foods used til-ally by the average household, except in milk and dialry products. In meats if we were to ake the whole animal the percentage runs up to llii-‘liil fifty, of course if (my choice cut". are ustd tilc pert-ent- uge is low from say tan to twenty per cent but then ihc users of the cheap cuts loose from thirty 1.0 “xiv-five .19? cent .1 an: ‘..'il'-\' huy.

Nowhere in human affairs doe! procrastination enter so largely as in. the purchasing of Christ.- mas presents. To the average man shopping is the most tedious. and he-teiul of all tasks under the sun, and to avoid it he will go for weeks with dilapidated shoe la- ces and worn out suspenders spending five minutes each morn- ing cussing and adjusting hit- ches and knots. rattler than take three of those five minutes off from his business dsyto nuy him- self a new outfit.
