M ickle mads a talk to dairymen, and every one o f them who failed to hear it, not only missed a treat but more practical inform ation and wise suggestions as to the conduct o f their business than they w ill have an opportunity to listen to again this year. Takin g a world-wide outlook over the dairy situation Mr. M ickle found that Germany had sacrificed m illions o f her cows during the w ar because she was unable to provide sufficient food fo r them. A t the same tim e she had taken a m illion cows from Bel gium, leavin g that country alm ost ab solutely without dairy stock. Anotner m illion had been taken out o f H ol land by purchases, and in the same way the people o f Denmark, where the science o f dairying had boon carried to the highest point, had lest h alf their eows. Taken in connection with 1 the slaughter o f so many dairy cows in our own country, because feed o f aD kinds was so high and there was so little money in the business, a world-wide shortage o f dairy cattle was indicated such ns has not been seen fo r generations.
