"luirlng the lust few years the high price of grain and foiage have rendered slock feeding, as carried on by the old methods, unprofitable. While a few feeders through shrewd buying end experienced fitting loive realised a profit in the business, the great majority of men who accounted for their labor and efforts In their work found they were making little or no profit In growing beef.

Dairy farmer Urtm I'rotlt. "Almost tha sams conditions have taken place with the dairy farmer except he has found profit In eplte of high feed values owing to the very high price of butter and tha economic advantage ot tha dairy cow over the beef animal. However, with a low butter market and high priced grain and forage, the cream producer will bo forced to adopt better methods If he wishes a fair profit from his business. "In simple Words we have now come to ths time when It la ncccst.ary to produce animals and animal products more cheaply or gull tha business. As this Is a stock country It would be alwurd to think of les sening our stock production.
