Your Government Wants 
Youito Raise More Live Stock 
Government officials have found, 
by careful investigation, that there is a 
very serious shortage of live stock in this 
country. They state that unless farmers RAISE 
MORE HOGS, SHEEP AND CATTLE, especially 
now that we must feed our own soldiers and help 
feed those of our allies, famine conditions may result YOU 
WANT TO DO YOUR “BIT”—DO IT RIGHT NOW. Increase 
your live stock at once. It will pay you well. You are bound to get 
Higher Prices -- Bigger Profits 
But, don’t forget that WORMS are the greatest enemies of live 
stock—greatest “profit-consumers.” They cause 90% of live stock 
losses. Never before has it been as necessary to feed a good worm 
destroyer and conditioner as RIGHT NOW, and the best and cheap¬ 
est remedy—one that is guar an teed—is SAL-VET, the old reliable live 
stock conditioner and worm destroyer. It costs but 2^^^ per month 
per head of hogs or sheep—horses and cattle a trifle more. It not 
only gets rid of the worms, but tones the blood, aids the digestion and 
makes stock thrive faster—KEEPS them healthier and SAVES feed. 
“When I ordered the SAL-VET I had eight pigs that were at a standstill: 
they had not gained a pound in two months, and were four months old at 
the time. I fed SAL-VET as directed and the worms came from them by 
the dozen, some of them ten and twelve inches long. They have gained 
more in the sixty days than they did in the entire four months. SAL-VET 
also cleaned out an old horse on which I had tried several kinds of 
medicines.” R. K. COWARD, New Paltz, N. Y. 
You can’t afford to be without SAL-VET. It is the cheapest, 
safest, surest preventive against losses and pays big profits on its 
small cost. Ask your dealer about it; if there is none in your 
locality, write us. A postal brings a valuable live stock book, just

Beef Cattle in New England 
Would beef raising be profitable on an 
Eastern Connecticut farm ? I have been 
retailing Guernsey milk and cream, but 
professional duties (I am a clergyman) 
are making it imperative that I give less 
time and strength to the farm. Further, 
war prices have made retail milk business 
locally unprofitable. It has occurred to 
me that it might be well to sell out my 
Guernseys and replace them with Here- 
fords. Would beef raising pay for itself 
and a little more? Can the stock be ob¬ 
tained at business prices? Are there 
“grades,” or would it be necessary to use 
all purebreds? If purebreds are used, is 
there a ready market for surplus stock for 
breeding, as is the case with the milk 
breeds? w. B. C. 
Connecticut. 
There are no doubt many farmers who 
can and will make a success of beef rais¬ 
ing on the New England farms. If this 
industry is managed right and conditions 
on the farm and in the locality are adapt¬ 
ed to it, it should be a paying proposi¬ 
tion. At the present time we are un¬ 
doubtedly undergoing a change to the ef¬ 
fect that beef cattle and sheep are grad¬ 
ually finding their way back to'the New 
England farm where dairy cattle previous¬ 
ly existed. Thus it seems to me that the 
raising of beef in New England should 
not be preached from the housetops, but 
rather be taken up in a conservative way 
by those who seem peculiarly situated for 
it. 
It certainly would be difficult to make 
beef rai.sing pay better than dairying 
near markets where the demand for dairy 
products was strong and the costs of 
transportation small. It would be diffi¬ 
cult to make beef raising pay on a farm 
not having a good pasture and .silo into 
which was put plenty of good corn or 
corn and Soy bean silage. Legume hay 
is also essential, as it takes some protein 
to make beef. Likewi.se beef raising car¬ 
ried on in a set of buildings such as are 
used for many of our dairy herds would be 
‘likely to be a losing game. Proper loca¬ 
tion, cropping systems and investment 
in buildings are then at least three im¬ 
portant things that enter into the matter. 
If you intend to sell your surplus stock 
at a good figure purebreds will be nece.s- 
sary. If you beefed practically every¬ 
thing, grades with a purebred bull at the 
head would do. 
At the present prices of good beef and 
dairy cattle you might be expected to ex¬ 
change about even. That is, a purebred 
Hereford cow will co.st you as much as 
you can get for a purebred Guernsey 
cow. I realize that considerable is at 
stake for you, and I question the advis¬ 
ability of my telling you to make the 
change on the strength of information 
that could be furnished by letter. The 
best thing to do is to write the Animal 
Husbandry Department, Connecticut Ag¬ 
ricultural College, Storrs. and ask that 
a repre.sentative visit you and go over the 
proposition. ir. F. J. 
Dairy Ration foY New York 
Cornell University has i.ssued the fol¬ 
lowing announcement for September: 
Rased upon feed prices quoted on Au¬ 
gust 25, the State College of Agriculture 
recommends a dairy ration for September 
containing 800 pounds ground oats, 400 
pounds wheat bran, 200 pounds distillers’ 
dried grains, 200 pounds oilraeal, 200 
pounds cotton-seed meal, 200 pounds glu¬ 
ten feed. The prices quoted on August 
25 are probably too high, according to 
the College, which says it would not be 
well to stock up much before October 1, 
since prices were going down at this 
time. Oats, it is stated, will be cheap 
and wheat bran reasonable, and they 
should be made the basis of the ration 
as given here. Malt sprouts can be used 
in place of some oats where they are 
cheaper. The other feeds ai’e ail high 
protein feeds and can be interchanged ac¬ 
cording to price and availability on the 
local market. 
Mr. Hoover states that feed prices will 
or ought to come down : 
The promise of lajge corn, oats and 
roughage crops, the rigid embargo on the 
export of cottonseed cake and the agree¬ 
ment with the“ millers by w’<hich mill feed 
will be reduced, should all tend to reduce 
the cost of animal feed. 
Everyone knows what ought to be—we 
all want to see these things come to pass. 
Calves and Separator Milk 
I noted a recent statement about rais¬ 
ing calves on separator milk. I can raise 
as nice calves as you would care to see 
by adding a little calf meal. Re sure 
to take the foam all off the milk, as this is 
the part thiit proves disastrous and causes 
bloating. w. G.

Sprinkle or spray Dr. Hess Dip

troughs and yards and give your 
hogs a chance. Use it the year 
round. It will give them clean, 
healthy skins, free from lice and 
free from disease. That means bet¬

priced pork. Disinfect the barns 
and poultry houses. Also use it 
about the house, in the sick room, 
in sinks and cesspools to destroy 
. disease germs and establish health 
conditions.
