The farmer wants to get a high price for cattle. The packer stands between these conflicting demands, and finds it im possible to completely satisfy both. The packer has no control over the prices of live stock or meat, and the most that can be expected of him is that he keep the difference between the two as low as possible. He does this successfully by converting animals into meat and distributing the meat at a minimum of expense, and at a profit too small to be noticeable in the farmer's returns for live stock or in the meat bill of the consumer. Swift & Company's 1917 transac tions in Cattle were as follows: Sold Meat to Retailer for Sold By-products for ... Total Receipts Paid to Cattle Raiser . . . Balance (not paid to Cattle Raiser) Paid for labor and expenses at Packing House, Freight on Meat, and Cost of operating Branch distributing houses . . . . . Remaining in Packer's hands as Returns on investment , . . Average Per Head . $68.97 . 24.C9 93.06 84.45 8.61 7.32 $ 1.29 The net profit was $1.29 per head, or about one-fourth of a cent per pound of beef. By what other method can the dif ference between cattle prices and beef prices be made smaller, and how can the conflicting demands of producer and consumer be better satisfied ? 1918 Year Book of interesting and instructive facts sent on request.

Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Tho Ayrshire breed originated In the county of Ayr, In southwestern Scot land. In that region, which borders on tho Irish Sea, tho surface Is rolling and has much rough woodland. Pas tures, therefore, are somewhat sparse and It Is necessary for animals to graze large areas in order to obtain sulllclent feed. It Is only within the last hundred years that Ayrshlres have had n type well enough established to be entitled to the designation of breed. This breed Is not well known In many sections of the United States New Hnglnnd. Now York and Penn sylvania probably contain the largest number of Its representatives. There Is a small distribution In the Middle Atlantic States, the Pacific Northw.cst and other, scattered sections. The color of this breed varies from tho medium red to very (lurk, mahog any brown and white. The cattle 0 ltox&vasiSES i h- . ... ri. An Ayrshire Which Won World's Record for Milk Production. hnve long horns which turn outward, then forward, then upward. Quick, brisk actions are characteristic of the animals which seem always to have au abundant store of energy, and to be exceptionally alrirt. Ayrshlres have a highly nervous disposition, which Is useful both for production and self support. Probably none of the other dairy breeds mn compare with the Ayrshlres In ability to obtain a liveli hood on scant pastures. Their ability as "rustlers" lias made them very use ful In sections where there Is much rough land Iti pasture. Cows of this breed average 1,000 pounds in weight, nml bulls average about 1.(500. Another point of which breeders of the Ayrshire nre very proud Is tho uniform, square, level udder with long body attachment which Is common nniong the cows. Milk from Ayrshire cows contains comparatively little color and 1ms the fat In uniformly small globules which average smaller In. size than for any other breed. The milk stands shipping well without churning, and In other respects It Is well adapted to the mar ket milk trade. For Ayrshlres the nverage of the 2,508 cows that have completed year ly records for advanced registry Is 0,555 pounds of milk testing ,:i.05 per cent of butterfat, amounting to 377.51 pounds of fat. The ten highest milk producers of this breed rango from 25,310 to 18,745 pounds df milk and tho average of these ten highest pro ducers is 21,538.8 pounds of milk. Tho ten highest butterfat producers among Ayrshlres rango from 055.50 to 744,'iJl pounds, with an average, for these ten, of 855.4 pounds of butterfat. INCREASED MILK PRODUCTION Supplies Food Material More Econom. Icaly Than Meat or. Eggs Efficient Dairy Cow. (Prepared by the United StateH Depart inont or Agriculture.) Two facts stand out prominently n-s reasons for tho Increased production nnd use or milk. The tlrst Is that milk as purchased on the market usually supplies food mutorliil togeth er with the growth producing elements more economically than either meat or eggs. Tho second reason Is that the dairy cow Is the most economical pro ducer of animal food. One groat law of fond conservation Is to turn Inedible feeds Into edible foods In the cheap est possible manner. The dairy cow will. utilize coarso materials, Inedible by humans, such as grass, cornstalks, liny, etc., and will turn them Into milk, which Is suitable for human food. Other farm animals also ure convert ers of coarse roughage into edible foods, but nre not so elllclent as the dairy cow.

UN ATTACK OF GRIP USUALLY LEAVES KIDNEYS IN WEAKENED CONDITION Doctors in all parts of tho country have been kept busy with tho epidemic of grip which has visited so many Louies. The symptoms of grip this year aro often very distressing and leave the system in a run down condition, particularly tho kidneys which seem to suffer most, as almost every victim complains of lamo back and urin ary troubles which should not be neglect ed, as these danger Bi'gnals often lead to dangerous kidney troubles. Druggists report a large sale on Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root which so many people say soon heals and strengthens the kidneys after an attack of grip. Swamp-Iloot, being an herbal compound, has a gentle healing effect on the kidneys, which is al most immediately noticed in most cases by those who try it. Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N, Y., offer to send a sam ple size bottle of Swamp-Root, on receipt of ten ccntsr to every sufferer who re quests it. A trial will convince anyone who may be in need of it. Regular medi um and large size bottles, for sale at all druggists. Be sure to mention this paper. Adv. Prdblem for Home.
