Spread of Sheep Feeding.

Colorado farmers are not to enjoy
a monopoly in the business of fatten-
ing sheep for the market. The indus
try has spread to Kansas, where the
farmers are bcttering the instruction
developed in the Cache la Poudre val
ley and at the State Agricultural Col
lege in Fort Collins.
"The fall of 1908" says one author
ity IN the Drover's Telegram Kan
sas City publication, will see Kansas
farmers and stock feeders handling
mo,e sheep than for many year
For two years sheepmen have been
favored with sensational prices for
muttons. Last year the drouth and
consequent small supply of sheep on
feed caused high prices, but this year
the remarkable demand for mutton is
causing the good values. Il should
not be surprised says the Telegram
writer "if the bulk of sheep fed In
Kansas this winter net their handlers
100 per cent. profit on the Investment.
When 1t is considered that the sheep
are out only four months az the long
est. this figures at the rate of 400 per
cent. per annum. Why, if we could
keep sheep in the lots all the year
around we Kansas farmers who are
handling woolskins would soon be
classed among the millionaires of the
land"
1t is anticipated that next fall will
witness an exceptionally heavy de
mand for feeding sheep all over Kan.
sas. The big operators, who handle
10000 to 10000 head, will be out for
supplies as well as smaller farmers. A
poor corn crop might result in this pre-
diction bcIng unfultilled, but with a
modera., yield of corn we will see
Kansas forging to the front as sheep
feeding state. At the rate muttons
are selling at present there is far
more money in feeding sheep than in
handling hogs. counting the loss by
cholera oftentmes occasioned in the
latter. From present indications there
will be about twice as many sheep fed
in Kansas next fall as were put in the
lots the past season. This is an item
of Importance to Arizona. Texas, New
Mexico and southern Colorado, the
pastures which furnish the bulk of the
sheep for feeding. The better demand
for mutton Is based on two factors.
The first is the high price of beef and
| the second Is the better quality OF
| mutton as the result of farm feeding
upon alfalfa and grains.-Denver

ANTITRUST BILL DISCUSSED
BY BOTH PARTIES In THE HOUSE

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE House yes
terday adopted the conference report
on the Department of Commerce bill
by vote of PSI to 10. One Republic
can (Mr. LittleheldD and nine Demo-
Gratis voted against this action. Several
Democrats took the position that the
Nelson amendment" to the bureau of
corporations was weak and ineffect-
ual attempt to provide the machinery
for corporation publicity. Mr.. Mann of
Illinois, on behalf of the Republicans.
contended on the contrary that it was
better measure of publicity than had
been presented in any other bill
Mr. Richardson of Alabama, one of
Hepburn yielded thirty minutes, ex-
planned his reasons for declining to
support the Nelson amendment cover
ing the bureau of corporations. He
did not believe any Democrat could
sustain himself by opposing every
thing aimed at the trusts because it
was of Republican origin. But he did
not believe the Nelson amendment was
aimed at the trusts. He said it was a
travesty upon what it claimed to be.
1t was, he said, an ''ultra-diluted
dose" Its purpose, he declared, was
not to authorize the President to pro-
ceed against the trusts, but simply to
secure information upon which he
could base recommendations. This. he
said. was poor response to the bold
threats which were heralded abroad

committee for the relief of the famine
sufferers in northern Sweden has re.
ceived from America about S17 500

sums have been sent to individuals by
American sympathizers for distribu-

or for the payment of labor on the
specially organized relief works.
About $4,000 of American money
has been expended in the purchase of
seed wheat. which has been distrib-
uted In six of the most needy prov
inces. The rest has been spent on
food supplies.
The members of the central COM
mittee say the misery is more wide
spread than was anticipated and they
estimate that $1.006,000 will be re-
quired to furnish the relief which will
be necessary until matters improve In

THE great body of the mine work.
ers are not familiar with the socialis-

the evidence is overwhelming that the
result is a restriction on the part OF the

of work and the consequent wages.

indifferent associate.
Socialism proposes to establish an
equality among unequal men. by re-
ducing them to the dead level of this
possible majority. Instead OF allow

done for linn That is nothing but
