FARMERS MUST RAISE HEIFERS A't a meeting of the New York State Food Supply Commission held at Syracuse, July 5th and 4h. the recommendation was made and adopted that the farmers of New York State be warned against allowing heifer calves from good dairy cows to be slaughtered for veal. The New York State Agricultural Society approves this movement and is actively assisting in the conservation of good heifer calves.

The recent high price of the cost of feed without a corresponding increase in the price of milk. has led many farmers, it is said, to veal their heifer calves. The New York State Agricultural Census taken this spring showed that there are now about calves, than a year ago- -a 000 less shortage When it is recalled that there are over two million less cattle in France alone 'than before the war and that even ueutral countries have suffered a Joss, it can be readily, seen that there will be a tremendous demand for dairy products from abroad for several years after the wor.

So that the farmer who is building for the years to come will do well to raise every calf that gives promise of becoming a real producer. The society does not, of course, urge the raising of heifers of infer. for quality, for it still remains true that a poor cow, is not worth her keep, The very best way to get rid of poor cows is to begin at once to breed better calves. A pure-bred bull of a good dairy breed. and backed by a record for production will, solve the problem, Recent investigations have shown animal fats subwhich important in suply, building strong vigorua bodies and which are not found in vegetable fats.

Besides, dairying is a great help in building up and maintaining the tertility of the farm. Save every good heifer calf! Personal Personal and Social Mr. and Mrs. William Ringwood, of West Oakley Street, are enjoying their vacation at Haines Falls. Charles H.
