NEED BIG HERDS

Europe’s Meat Supply Must Come From America. Warring Nations Have Depleted Live Stock at Enormous Rate, Evex Killing Dairy Cattle For Food. American stock breeders are being asked to conserve their flocks and herds in order to meet Europe’s tremendous demands for meats during the war and probably for many years afterward. The United States food administration reports tiiat American stock raisers have shown a disposition to co-operate with the government In increasing the nation's supply of live stock. Germany today is probably better supplied With live stock than any other European nation. When the German armies made their big advance into France and then retreated virtually all the cattle in the invaded territory approximately 1,800,000 head—were driven behind the German lines. But In England—where 2,400,000 acres of pasture lands have been turned into grain fields —the cattle herds are decreasing rapidly. One of the reasons apparently Is the declining maximum price scale adopted by the English as follows: For September, $17.76 per 100 pounds ; October, $17.28; November and December, $10.08; Janlary, $14.40. The effect of these prices was to drive beef animals on the market as soon as possible. In France the number of cattle as well as the quality have shown an enormous decline during the war. Where France had 14,807,000 head of cattle in 1013, she now has only 12,841,900, a decrease of 10.6 per cent. And France is today producing only one gallon of milk compared to two and one-half gallons before the war. Denmark and Holland have been forced to sacrifice dairy herds for beef because of the lack of necessary feed. Close study of the European meat situation has convinced the Food Administration that the future problem of America lies largely in the production of meat producing animals and dairy products rather than in the production of cereals for export when the war will have ceased.

WINNING THE WAR

“At last,’ said a lordly Brahma cock, As he squinted his eye at his feathered flock; “The humble hen has a place in the sun,” And respect for her has at last been won. The sons 0f.,. men, for whom we ■ exist, '.v ' I Thought nothing of giving her neck a twist When company came, as for Sunday dinner, And they feasted upon her, saint and sinner. , Many a pullet that filled my eye With admiration, was made into pie, And they thought it was cholera when I sat In mourning for her on the hen roost flat, All the long summer day, nor sought for a worm, And called for my wives to behold it—squirm, Then eggs were so plenty no one was too poor, To serve them for breakfast, a dozen or more, And they never once thought of the hard working hen, Who must scratch for the mineral ingredients in them, But now what a change, and it seems very strange, To be petted and pampered and given free range To corn crib and wheat bln, there’s nothing too good.

To be given her now in the way of fine food, For a long time I wondered, and cautioned my flock, To run under the barn when the preacher should knock, But he comes and he goes, and no squawk do I hear. To tell me another has perished, my dear, I don’t know what it meant, but the red-headed cook Told the fat hired man she had read in a book' That the hen was nelplng the great war to win, And I’ve puzzled my brain to know where she’ll begin. I’m a pretty old bird, nine years come next spring, And that cook often threatens my proud neck to wring When I wake her at dawn with the frost on the pane, And she swears by all saints that never again Will her sleep be disturbed by my early crowing. When outside it is zero, and snowing and blowing, She has taken an oath with such language—O, my! That “next week she will sell me in town for a Try,” But take time by the forelock, I think I’ll go now, To a cozy dark place in the old hay mow, But if I moist die there’ll be work for some dentist, . And the people I feed will be non compos mentis. —Adelaide E. Sherry.
