The Christmas tree cutter still fur

the State papers Objection is made to
him. not so much on the mere ground
that he Is cutting Christmas trees as
that he Is putting so much indiscrmina-

PrOenix. for instance, is convinced that
the cutting is not being done along the
lines OF scientific forestry. with view
to making the annual yield of dollars
permanent, but that 1t is being carried on
with much the same recklessncss and
waste that have characterize il in the
past. Thousands Of little trees have been
shipped this week from Ludlow. Head

WITH THINKERS

Sir Horace Plunkett.-The chief diff
ference between the business methods of
aericuIturists ON the one hand and of
those who conduct all other important
industries on the other, is that the farmer
does not understand. or at any rate does
not know how to apply the principals of
combination. 1t is recognized as a con-
dition of success in all commercial and
industrial undertakings under MODERN
conditions that those erGased in any par
ticular occupation must combine for
mutual advantage, for protection of their
particular interest in its relation to other
interests and also in order to be politi-
cally influential when economic legisla-
ton or administration affecting that in
terest is in question. The reasons for
combination are SO convincing that 1t is
worth while to consider why farmers re-
main the sole exception to what is an
accepted law and the universal practice
of modern business.
Hon. A. b, Cumminss.-l never have
advocated general revision OF tariff and
never will 1t would be tho extreme of
folly for the next congress or any con
sress in the near future to attempt to
pass another tariff bill comprising every
article of growth or manufacture. In
such revision the temptation put before a
member of congress to vote FOR what he
knows to be wrong, in order to obtain
what he believes to be right, is too strong
for human nature. The crusade which
intend to strengthen with all my power
: is for tariff commissions permanent
and dianifed and Independent tariff com
mission; one that will gather the facts
as to cost of production and lay them be-
fore congress and the country. When 1t
has done so upon any one schedule, it
the duties are found either too high or
too low congress should take it up and
dispose of it without the possibility OF
trades or combination.

Thew Blame the Dog.

The INDIANAPOLIS News is not salts
fed with the wool schedule in the new
tariff act. The conclusion reached by
the News is that "a few figures will
show that the tariff has done nothing
| whatever to promote the raising of
sheep, but that it has rather had the
contrary effect" After careful perusai
of the News figures we are forced to
the conclusion that they prove moth
ing Of the kind. They prove nothing
except that sheep have failed to in
crease as rapidly as the population.
that there is something about urban
life that does not appeal to the lowly
| sheep.
To quote the News:
In 1910 we had 100000 sheep, and
| our population was 100000. Thus
| there was liz sheep to every person.
In the next decade the number OF
sheep had increased to 22,000,000, but
| as the population had, in those ten
years, increased to 23,000,0O0, there was
then only .95 of a sheep to the person
| There was practically no increase in
the number of sheep in the next ten
years, the total in 1860 being 22,40c,00O.
The population in that year was 81
100000. Thus there was a decline OF
the number Of sheep to the person
from IS to ii
The ten years between 1860 and 1870
showed an improvement, there being,
at the end of the period, 40,S00,0OO
sheep and 3S,5GO,OOO people, LOG sheep
per capita. In 1908 there We're 56,OO0,-
900 sheep and 100000 people, "a sheep
per capita.
There is another element which is
not taken into consideration in the
News figures. They should be given
in parallel columns with statistics
showing the increase in the number OF
dogs together with a conservative es-
innate of the number of dogs officers
and assessors never find. The dog pop
ulation has increased faster than the
man or sheep population and, while
this state of affairs does not affect the
increase of the human species, except
among few misguided rich, it does
vitality influence the increase in
the sheep population. Farmers raise
sheep for profit and when there
is no longer profit in raising sheep
they raise something else. One Of
the reasons why there has been
little profit in the business is because of
the dogs which ravage the flocks The
farmer knows why he does not raise
sheep and we venture the assertion
that for every farmer that does or
does not raise sheep according to the
rise and fall of the tariff, we can pro-
duce an even hundred who blame it on
the dog. Inasmuch as it is the farmer
who is most concerned, we believe he
knows what he is talking about and
will take his word for it.
