Start raising more and better Calves
the Easy NURS-ETTE way
No more carrying pails of warm water or hand mixing
milk replacer. Just fill the hopper of the NURS-ETTE with
milk replacer and the NURS-ETTE will mix milk replacer
and warm water and keep it warm until calf nurses the mix
(approx. 14 oz.)
Then it will mix a fresh batch of water and replacer.

ket section will not be available
as a result of .the market clos
ing. However, we have been an
ticipating the market closing
and introduced the Omaha and
Oklahoma City markets several
months ago. We will continue
to evaluate the market needs of
our local livestock producers
and welcome any suggestions on
how to fill the market news
vacuum left by the Chicago
closing.
Steady dwindling of livestock
receipts in recent years has
been cited as the reason for
closing the market. Cattle re
ceipts have decreased from 2,-
265.000 head in 1959 to around
860.000 head last year, with the
decline continuing. At its peak
in 1924, the market handled
more than 18,600,000 head of
cattle, hogs and sheep.
In recent years, trends to
ward locating packing houses
closer to livestock feeding
operations and other trends
have tended to decentralize
marketing away from the cen
tral Chicago location.
Some local livestock industry
spokesmen have indicated clos
ing of the Chicago market could
lead to much heavier reliance
by the livestock industry on
local markets, both for industry
price setting and for meeting
the needs of Eastern packers.
