Sh.Ap VS.. Hogs.

II has frequently been stated that wS
are raising too many sheep in TINS
country, and, therefore, that whlch
ought to be a source OF wealth 10 US
Is frequently a source OF depresslon'
the overlooking of the market VIII
hogs and hog products not leaving
fair margin, either to the farmers or TO
the packers, says National Provisioner.
1t is easy to state the source OF the
trouble, but it is more difficult to sug-
gest a remedy. In this instance, how
ever, we are not entirely beyond the
possibilities of remedy and relief. We
have for many years advised the culti-
walton of mutton as q desirable meat,
and the raising of more sheep and less
hogs. The farming papers of the coun-
try have taken sides with us, and have
supported our views, and there Is no
reason why the farmers should not do
what Is in their interest and what will
help their hank accounts. A large part
OF the wealth of England and Australia
is derived from sheep raising. An in
crease in the number Of sheep in this
country would add considerably to the
wealth OF the nation, especially of the
farmers and Of the packers, the more so
now, when wool is amply protected and
ought to bring a good price. Our con-
temporary Wallace's Farmer, urges the
farmers in the same manner as we do,
and speaks especially for the state Of
Iowa, which is now a very large
hog-raising state, but whatever
relates to Iowa relates to
great extent to other Western
states, and also to the South. OF
course, 1t will not do to raise sheep
on ground which is too fiat or wet But
IN the bluegrass section of this country
sheep would mature as well, If not bet
ter, than they do in the British islands.
We have hotter summers, it is true, but
our winters are more even than they
are in England. The packers and COM
mission men ought to educate the farm
ers to understand more the value Of
the sheep as an investment and Of NUT
ton as a desirable food. Sheep need
some care, but If it is bestowed upon
them there is no better investment to
the farmer. Five acres of land will
take care of twenty-five sheep and
their lambs during the summer, and in
winter no farmer will miss what they
eat. Their f1eeces will pay about 81
apiece and their lambs a year old, IL
properly cared for, are good for SO. II
fattened to 100 pounds weight and put
on the present market they are good
for SIS by the carload. 1t has been fig
ured out by an authority that with oats
and corn at 80 cents a bushel and oil
meal at $1.25 per hundred, lamb from
the time that it is two weeks old until
it reaches 100 pounds, which is in the
eleventh month, will not consume more
than $1.35 worth of grain. In our opin-
ion, the time is not very far distant
when, with the scarcity Of beef and
with the high price which cattle COM
mand, we will have to resort to eating
mutton. There will also be great ex-
port demand for the article. We have
too much corn, too many hogs, too few
sheep.

Outlook for the Cow.

We do not know of greater business
than the production of milk. Not that
the production of milk is the greatest
industry in the world at present, but it
is very likely to become so in the flu
ture. There is almost no limit to the
possibilities in this regard. Milk
drinking and milk using is largely a
thing that has been adopted by certain
communities, but where once adopted
1t stays. There are still in the world
vast areas where the people do not
think of using cows milk as a food,
and the reason is that milk has not
been placed before them il a ssorm that
appeals to them as buyers. Especially
is this true in tropical countries where

Beef-Producing Cattle.-There is at
present tendency to increase the num-
Der and improve the quality Of the beef
producing cattle on our farms. Owing
to the long period of depression in the
cattle industry the farm herds Of beef
bred cattle were seriously reduced or
so crossed with dairy blood as to i'm
pair or destroy their usefulness for
beef production. Many of the splendid
pure-bred herds in the Ohio valley and
eastward were dispersed. The we'll
bred steers formerly raised in such
great numbers in this section became
hard to get, and feeders have been more
and more dependent on the West for
The stock to consume their grain. This
resulted in good prices for feeding cat
tie. which has again stimulated the
breeding of good beef cattle on the
farms. More beef-bred bulls are now
going to these farms than for long
time. This is the forerunner of great
advance in farm beef production, but 1t
is doubtful if the industry again
reaches its old-time Importance in the
Ohio valley and eastward.-Ex.
Water in Milk.-The less frequently
the milk is taken from the udder the
greater is its proportion of water. the
last portions removed being generally
the richest ia butter. Evening milk is
much richer in butter and casein
than the morning milk, the salts
remaining about the same. Wnen
the animal is given abundance of
food it increases both the amount
of casein and fat, while a les
sened diet diminishes the total solids.
Rest seems to encourage the formation
of butter, exercise impoverishing the
milk in butter, but increasing its rich
ness In casein.

Washes for Breakfast.-A writer II
the Iowa Homestead offers the follow.
ing very practical advice: Washes are
a quick breakfast. The crops OF the
fowls in the morning are empty, and il
is necessary that they should have
something for quick assimilation. II
takes a number of hours for whole
grain to digest. This ground grain
very quickly does its work. Into the
mashes meat or condition powder OF
any tonic can be readily put, and the
results are more satisfactory. We feed
mashes the entire year. During the
winter we mix ground grain with boil
ing hot water; during the summer we
use cold water. In the winter we give
the mash in the morning, and grain al
noon and night During the summer
we give but two meals day-morning
and evening. In the mashes, too, we
are able to give more Of variety than
with whole grain.
Argentine Live Stock.-The number.
of live stock the Argentine Republic
possesses amount Says an English ex.

horned cattle, SO,O0O,0O0 sheep, 100000
horses, 100000 asses and mules, 2,OOO,.
600 goats and 100000 pigs, whereas the
whole population of the country only
amounts to 100000 inhabitants. The
majority of the cattle belong to the OLD
creole race.
Danger in Filthy Water.-Doubtles
thousands of children die annually. in
city and country, from the effects of
milk from cows obliged to drink water
contaminated with the germs of disease
and the disease is often traced to this
source. Any standing water exposed

thirty-four years old, gives one an entirely
new notion of how a grandmother may

just week ago today the event happen
ed which gave her the right to call herself
a grandmother. Bay Beatrice Esther Britz

mother and her own dainty mamma the
latter only twenty years old. Altogether,
the three generations Of the gent1er sex
have nothing 70 complain Of on the score of
youth or good looks, and Happy trio they
make.
There is a strong resemblance between
Mrs. Davidson and her grandchild, and the
mamma says frankly. II always thought
my mamma prettier than I, and babay does
look just like her.

Trials of an EnSlishman With His
StenOgrapher.
From the Cleveland Leader
An Englishman who drops his his and
aspirates his as and stenographer and
typewriter who spells Theoretically from
d1ctation make combination from which
trouble is sure to result unless the copy"
is carefully revised. The manager OF one
OF the most important manufacturing
plants in Cleveland is an Englishman. Not
long ago he employed a young man to act
as his stenographer, and one of the first
things that the latter was called upon to
do was the taking down. of 4 letter to the
managers wife. who was away at a sum-
mer resort. Being busy man. the man
ager didn't take the trouble TO look at the
letter after it had been typewritten, but
when his wife answered 1t there was hot
time for the stenographer. MY dear
Henry" she wrote, what on earth do you
mean by calling me Hannah and our little
Horace Orris?' 1 will admit tina. this
sounds like you. but why 10 you make a
joke of it before your employes"'
OF course the fond husband and father
didn't know what it all meant, and so he
wrote for an explanation, when his first
letter was sent back to him. =
One glance at 1t and lie rushed over to
his stenographer. excitedly threw the sheet
down before him and deman led. There,

"'Annah be dashed" exclaimed the man
ager. "A-n-n-a. Hanna! Can't you UNI

By this time the stenographer began to
see through the trouble, so he begged OF
upon the plea that having had a swelling
in one of his ears he had not been able td

weeks salary to square things with the
other boys in the office, and he always
deems 1t best to hide when he hears the
