Sheep husbandry is tending rapidly west
ward and southward-to the mider slopes
of the Alleghanies and the praries ofIllinois,
Missouri and Texas. New Mexico has six
sheep e each person-an extraordinary pro-
portion. Best Of all, the returns show that
while in 1910 the average annual yield ol
OF wool was little under two pounds pei
sheep, it was in 1850 nearly two and hall
pounds per sheep. so that e1 ,6O0,o 900 sheer
produced in 1850 forty six per cent. more
wool than 1881, ,374 sheep did in 1840.--
An increase of twelve per cent. in the sheep
had been paralleled by an increase of forty.
six per cent. in the wool. And il Vermont,
where the greatest attention has been paid
to sheep husbandrY, the average yield pei
sheep is almostfour pounds. Yet we import
considerably of wool-mainly the cheapest
and cOarseSt. In 1850, the import was lS,-
669,7S4 pounds, valued at s ,68l ,69l Of
between eight and nine cents per pound
The imports Of wool have largely increased
during three or four years.

our manufactures of Madeira, Champagne,

modesty is yeryrare in this brazen age.

Our Sak Calturc is a ruin. in We produced
in 1888 no less than 1896, $50 pounds cocoons;
in 1910 only 1861 pounds; in 1850 barely
l4,76 pounds! AID yet it is demonstrable
that we have every facility Of climate, soil,
unemployed hands, NC, for this branch of
industry, and that its vigorous prosecution
would add largely to the national wealth -
But to secure this end, present sacrifices are
essential and these mviduals cannot or will
not make, and the naion is too dull too
careless, too fettered BY partisanship. to do
the thing needful. So we run in debt for
our Silks, and leave thechiIdren who ought
to produce them, to grow up beggers and
thieves along highways. eeEtta ag
