some FARM FIGURES
PRODUCTION OF ONE YEAR IN
SEVERAL LINES.
Statistics Showing the Conditions That
Governed During 1905-Growth of
the Dairy, Silk and Wool
Markets.

The American farmer owns a herd
of aout 17,570,O00 cows, all told, and
the produce of these cows last year
is figured to be worth $665,00, 600. The
"hoof value" of the herd was $780,
100000. There are 47,400,000 sheep
and swine.
The trade year for dairy produce
in the east begins on May /, and is
divided into two perlods-the closing
of old winter stock and the marketing
OF the new crop.
The Windup of 1904, therefore,
found $4,000 packages in New York
warehouses. Twelve thousand pack
ages were brought from Canada to
meet the demand, despite the seventy
six per cent duty. On December J.
there were 100000 packages.
The entire receipts of butter in New
York for 1905 aggregated about g.
410,S40 packages. We sent to Europe
127,770 packages, and exported to the
tropics grand total of more than
100000 pounds.
The Chinese Trade
The cheese trade fell off last year,
so far as the export trade was con-
cerned, though the production was
greater than in 1904. Only 126,239
boxes were sent to Europe, but home
consumption took care of the product
on hand, and prices were high. Cheese
exports have been shrinking greatly
since 1878, the banner year. when
2,273,075 boxes were exported.

fected the egg trade In 1905, receipts
during the early months of the year
averaging something over 100000
cases a month, with corresponding
high prices. This year provision must
be made for shipping 1,S00,000,000
dozens of eggs.
Poultry trade was successful for the
year, the crops" being larger than
ever before. The outlook for the
future is very good. and large quanti-
ties of poultry are being placed in
cold storage.
The milk trade of the country like
butter and cheese, etc. can only be
gagged by metropolitan consumption,
which was ten per cent in excess of
1904. The supply for New York now
reaches 100000 quarts daily about
10000 quarts bottled, and the rest
dipped" or sold from cans.
Silk Production
There are in the United States
1929 plants devoted to silk manu-
facture, employing 10000 skilled oper-
atives. These plants are distributed
all over the country, and in 1905 pro-
duced s105,000,000 worth of silk tex
tiles 1t is estimated that the produc-
ton for 1906 will reach the amount
of $116000,0 900 and that the grand total
of consumption of silk price goods
for the present year Will amount to
S150,000, 000
The Wool Clip
The total wool product last year
reached nearly 300,000,UO0 pounds. The
demands of manufacturers used up
Americas supply, ana the sales for
the year aggregated 233,021 900
pounds as against 27S,4O7,000 pounds
for 1904. The imports of wool were
large, to meet the domestic short
age. In the first ten months of 1905
we imported a total of all classes of
wool amounting to 222,528,267 pounds.
The total stock of wool in the Uni
ted States, exclusive OF manufacture
ers' holdings, amounts to 90,025(000
pounds, as against 59,571,67 pounds
a year ago.
Live Stock
Inc live SLOck DreeQ1ng Industry
was never more profitable, and yearly
the home demand and consumption
are increasing with the growing pop
ulation of the country and the greater
of supplying foreign mar
kets and our own island possessions.
Last year we exported nearly ESQ.,
100000 pounds of fresh beef alone,
while 100000 pounds of canned beef
were sent abroad
Packers have realized immense re-
turns from the high price of hides
and by-products Prices for hogs ruled
higher than for three years past, al
though the six western markets
handled a total of 100000 head dur
ing the year. The range of prices
for sheep was higher than ever known,
although the receipts at Chicago alone
showed an increase of 100000 head
over last year.
The remarkable market for sheep
was caused by the high price of wool
and an extraordinary consumptive de-
mand for mutton. The exports of
sheep amounted to about 100000 head
for the twelve months, the Australian
output lessening the demand for Ame
rican mutton.

The ButtermiIk Cure For the
Drink Habit.

DR.. Edward C. Latham is
known to many people as the
" buttermilk DOCTOR"
His theory-maintained and
practiced for a quarter of a CEN
tury-is that the desire for strong
drink may be overcome without
the use of drugs or "gold cures"
and simply by the use of butter
milk.
| More than a thousand cured
patients and almost as many
happy homes attest the value of
the Doctors theory.
DIR. Latham is rich man. He
takes no fees. His only purpose
in advocating his cure is to save
men from the drink habit. He
travels from place to place urg-
ing the trial of the nutritive liq-
uid.
He says he wants every drink
ing man in the world 10 know
that it is possible to subdue and
finally destroy the desire for al
coholic stimu1ants by drinking
from three to six ounces of but.
termilk whenever the desire for
whiskey manifests itself.
DR.. Latham says the Tactic acid
of buttermilk has a direct and
soothing effect on the coats of
the stomach and kills the crav-
ing for drink. At the same time
the stomach is nourished and the
digestive organs restored to a
normal condition by the eombi.
nation of butyric acid and with
Tactic acid.
The doctor says the proof OF
this can be proven by any chem.
ist who has any kno Wedge of pa
thology.
1t is certain that wonderful re-
suits have been secured by the
DOCTORS prescription which de-
serves to be better known
throughout the country.
It is cheap.
1t cannot harm anyone.
It is certainly worth a fair trial
by any man who wants to rid
himself of the drink habit.
