JLES, pennies from a piggy bank are riches untold to a
pigtailed six-year-old. Naturally, she wants* to be sur$
they’re safe.
Because even the smallest account is important to a bank,
Nancy’s pennies will be wisely invested. Some of them will
go into utility securities — into business-managed electric
light and power companies. Like our own. That will make
Nancy one of our owners—an indirect owner. And, if you
have a savings account or life insurance policy (most people
do), it’s almost certain that you’re an indirect owner, too.
There are thousands of direct owners as well — people
from all walks of life who have invested their savings in this
company. All kinds of people—your friends and neighbors
—the man across the way, the housewife next door, farmers,
mechanics, doctors, industrial workers, teachers, craftsmen,
nurses.
Yes, your electric light and power company is owned by
the people it serves. '

THE SABBATH DAY
God labored six days in the crea-
tion, and rested on the seventh day.
Because God rested on the seventh
day, he called it “the sabbath day”
and hallowed it. We have no rec-
ord that man was told to keep the
sabbath for 2500 years. After the
deliverance of Israel from Egypt,
they were commanded to keep the
sabbath day of rest because of their
rest from bondage. This command
was given to those Jews, but never
to Gentiles. The Jewish scribes and
Pharisees continually charged Jesus
with breaking the sabbath com-
mand. He healed people on that day,
and allowed his disciples to pre-
pare and eat grain on that day.
Jesus taught them that he was Lord
also of the sabbath. That meant
that he had power over the sab-
bath, and could do with it what he
would. What did he do with it?
When he brought in his new cove-
nant sealed with his blood, he abol-
ished the sabbath, and all the other
laws that had gone before. (Col. 2:
14). The sabbath day is taken away,
so we read: “Let no man therefore
judge you in meat, or in drink, or
in respect of a feast day or a new
moon or a sabbath day; which are
shadow of things to come; but
the body is Christ’s.” (Col. 2:16,
17). No one is commanded to keep
the sabbath today. We do have a
special day of worship, which is the
first day of the week, and not the
seventh. This day is also called
“the Lord’s Day,” for it was on this
day that he arose. Let us always
worship on this day, which is not
“the Christian sabbath,” but the
Lord’s day, the first day of the
week.

More Milk Per Cow?
Here's How!
• The number of dairy cows
in the United States has in-
creased only 1% since 1940. In the
same eight years, a 10 % increase in popu- -
lation has added about 12,000,000 more
mouths to feed. These new American appetites —
need plenty of dairy products. Where are they com-
ing from? More cows? Certainly that should mean
more milk. But to bring more cows into production
takes time—three years or more. The other solution
is to increase the average production of milk- and
butterfat per cow. On many farms, dairy production
has been increased without adding more cows.
Here’s how:
1. Improve your pastures. Dairymen have a say-
ing—“Grow more grass and make more cash!” Good
grass is your best and cheapest dairy feed. Lime and
fertilize. Control weeds by spraying and mowing.
Reseed to improve grasses. These are all good pas-
ture builders.
2. Handle your milk and cream efficiently.
Mechanical separators reduce loss of butterfat and
improve its quality. Give more careful attention to
sanitation. Quick cooling and proper handling can
help you sell milk and cream, of better quality, for
more profit.
3. Eliminate cattle pests. New sprays, like derris
and DDT, used on the herd and in the bam, can rid
your cows of grubs, practically eliminate pesky flies
and lice. These pests rob America of an unbelievable
amount of milk each year. Iowa alone sets the loss
caused by heel flies and grubs at nearly 250 million
pounds of milk in one year.
4. Control mastitis and Bang's disease. They are
serious enemies of milk production. Complete con-
’ trol of them could increase the nation’s milk supply
20% or more. That would be one quart every day
for 30,000,000 people.
5. Check with your neighbors. See what they have
done to increase their herd averages. You can also
get help from your County Agent, your Vocational
Agricultural teacher, your State College Experiment
Station, or your State Veterinarian.
Increase production with more milk per cow. And
more milk per cow means more cash for you.
It takes a big engine
to pull a HEAVY Load”
This little engine is good
for its purpose, but is
not built to pull such a
big load.
The larger engine is de-
signed to handle large
loads—efficiently, eco-
nomically and easily.
Two-thirds of the live-
stock is produced west
of the Mississippi River.
Two-thirds of the meat
is eaten east of the Mis-
sissippi. Bringing these
two together is a job re-
quiring a large engine.

That’s why the country needs nationwide meat
packers like Swift & Company. For with process-
ing plants located where most of the livestock is
raised, we can help bridge the gap between western
range and the kitchen range. It is an important job,
and we’re proud that we are able to handle a
share of it.
How you gonna care for ’em
down on the farm?
Fresh, high-quality eggs grade better, bring better prices and
help build consumer demand. Ideal eggs are large, fresh and
clean. They are uniform in size and shape. Clear, thick whites,
and firm, evenly colored yolks show good interior quality.
Top grade eggs begin with a good flock of layers, properly
fod and cared for. Remove the roosters when breeding season
ends—your hens will lay as well and infertile eggs keep much
better. Keep the nests well filled with straw. Gather eggs two
or three times a day . . . Never wash eggs! Use steel wool to.
cnoaio™ dirty ones . . . Keep them in a cool place—not over
60 . Sort them in the case according to color and size. Market
them at least twice a week.
Remember, your best advertisement is to produce eggs which'
will reach the consumer fresh, clean and evenly sized. Quality i
helps make a better market for your eggs.

Standardbred vs. Crossbred Chickens
i--=-- . . / CIIMMED C A lie ACE rrn « uni i
J?. G. Jaap
by R. George Jaap
Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio
The relative merits of standardbred vs.
crossbred chickens may be summed up in
three words—not much difference. But this
difference is more often in favor of the
well-chosen cross reed.
The advantages of a good crossbred are:
faster growth and more eggs. However,
many a slip can occur in crossbreeding
chickens which will make them inferior, market-wise, to
standardbreds.
For example, to produce a suitable crossbred, both
standardbred parental breeds must be of top quality. If
one has a mediocre egg production, it is almost a certainty
the resulting crossbred will be a poorer producer than the
high-producing standardbred side of the family.
The fact that crossbreds usually are darker-colored
may be a market disadvantage, Many markets pay a
premium for white-feathered chickens. White Plymouth
Rocks are not suitable for crossbreeding. If they are
crossed with New Hampshires, dark-colored chickens
will often result. Therefore, the premium for whites is
lost. And the slightly faster growth rate of crossbreds
may not make up this profit difference.
In color of eggs, the crossbred producer is also at a
market disadvantage. Most egg-producing crossbreds lay
colored eggs. Many markets pay more for white eggs.
Therefore, the crossbred producer forfeits the profit on
white eggs until crossbreds, which will consistently lay
white eggs, are produced.
In certain cases, crossbreds may develop a greater sus-
ceptibility to disease than the better parent.
It is possible to develop crossbreds superior to the
better standardbred strains. But determining the most
suitable crossbreds is difficult because two different
breeds are involved.

HAM & EGGS GO TOGETHER
Milk, cream, poultry and eggs brought pro-
ducers a gross income of nearly 6A billion
dollars last year. That’s big business!
Every family in the nation uses dairy and
poultry products. These products are perish-
able. They have to be handled with care. It’s
a big job to process and distribute butter,
cheese, ice cream, dressed poultry, and eggs
in prime condition. It’s a nationwide job—as broad and as
long as America.
; . We have nationwide refrigerating and meat distributing
”* facilities to serve both producers and consumers. It is ec<£
nomical to use these same coolers, refrigerator cars and
trucks for dairy and poultry products.
The Swift salesman sells meat, poultry, eggs, cheese, but-
ter and other products. In this way we can have one salegmaTi
for sixteen or more products, instead of sixteen salesmen !
each selling one product. The same goes for delivery, too.
\iyou were m business marketing many different products
to the same buyers, would you have one salesman for each
product? You would have each salesman sell many of your
products. That saves money, effort, travel and the buyers’
time. That sour way, too.
