an I snap-grease material. Whb'h of
these prices lie obtains depends upon
how the animals are loaded in the
cars. Many shippers, either through
ignorance or in an effort to save a
small amount of freight, overload or
Improperly load their live stock when
sending it to market, and thereby run
great risks of sustaining serious losses
through crippled or dead animals, say
specialists of the bureau of markets,
United States Department of Agri
culture.
With freight rates at their present
levels there is a strong temptation to
economize on this item of expense by
crowding n few more animals Into an
already well-filled ear. Representa
tives of the department, however, who
see thousands of carloads of live stock
unloaded at the great central markets,
are of the opinion that if farmers and
stockmen could see the condition In
which much of the live stock reaches
the stockyards they would he im
pressed not only with the folly of
overloading, but also with the abso
lute necessity of taking every precau
tion against Injury and death of the
animals \ihile in t: iislt.
Overloading is one of the common
est, and at the same time most serious,
mistakes made by the Inexperienced
or careless shipper, it seems such an
easy uiatter to crowd Just a few more
animals into a enr, and the fact that
once in a great while an overloaded
car will go through without serious
mishap scorns to urge the shipper on
to tempt fate just once more. The
wise shipper, however, will have noth
ing to do with this false economy, say
specialists of the department. He
will lay down a hard ami fast rule to
load only ns many animals in the car
as can ride comfortably, and from
this rule he will not deviate.
'i he chances of loss through over
loading are greater in warm weather
than in cold. Temperatures may be

MILK HELPS YOUNG ANIMALS
Skim Milk and Other Creamery By.
Products Are Useful Feeds for
Pigs and Calves.
While whole milk is nature’s bal
anced food and is valuable for young
animals, skim milk and other creamery
by-products, such ns buttermilk and
whey, are also useful feeds, say spe
cialists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Skim milk is
fed to young pigs In the proportion of
about three pounds to one of concen
trates, such as cornmeal or shorts.
Buttermilk, which lias not been di
luted too much with water, has nearly
the same feeding value as skim milk.
It Is a better food for swine than for
calves because it Is apt to cause di
gestive disturbances when fed to the
latter, unless considerable care is
used. Whey is used ulmost exclusive
ly in feeding swine. It Is about two-
thirds us vuluable us skim ndlk ns a
food. Accordingly from ten to twelve
pounds of whey are equivalent to one
pound of grain. Sweet skim milk,
when supplemented with other feed
such ns corn meal or wheat shorts. Is
very good for young calves. If beef
calves are to he fed skim milk, they
should be fed in practically the same
manner as duiry waives.

that anywhere from one to 12 animals
suffocate. This is particularly true of
bogs. The shipper should remember
that stock cars frequently stand in
freight yards completely hemmed In
by trains of box ears. Under such
circumstances, if the animals are
crowded in the car and the weather
is hot, overheated and dead animals
are almost certain to result.
Another mistake frequently made is
to load mixed stock without proper
partitions. When two or more species
of live stock are shipped In the same
car they should generally lie kept
separate by building strong partitions.
This is particularly important when
large animals are shipped with smaller
ones.
It has been found that shipping live
animals any considerable distance Is
an undertaking always fraught with
some risk. This risk, however, may
be materially reduced, in the opinion
of department specialists,
The exact number of animals that
should be shipped in a car, naturally,
varies with tlie size of the car, the
size and kind of animals, the length
of haul, the season of the year, and
weather conditions. There eon lie no
variation, however, in the general rule
that Hie animals should have sufficient
room to be reasonably comfortable,
and that the car should be so parti
tioned that large animals cannot
trample the smaller ones, and that ag
gressive and quarrelsome animals can
not injure those with a more quiet and
timid disposition.
Even at the present comparatively
low price of live stock a single dead
or crippled animal Invariably repre
sents a substantial loss, and In many
Instances wipes out the profit on the
entire shipment.
