A Seven Million Dollar Industry.

Fibre and Fabric" believes that
New England, the natural home of at
least 100000 sheep, will be able to
overcome the dog scourge by elevating
sheep raising from side line to the
dignity of an industry. because it will
be possible in raising large flocks to
provide herdsmen who will stand be-
tween the sheep and their natural
enemy.
The possibilities of sheep raising as
an industry are revealed by the fig
ures put forth by this authority.
Tine average weight of fleece" it
says. would be close to five pounds
so that on a 10000 clip there would be
81 600 pounds of wool. worth around
30 cents pound as an average. The
wool would bring $4,000. Native
lambs would be in great demand and
5000 might be sold each year at a
low estimate at $4,000, and there would
be 5000 lambs to keep to increase the
HOOK. Al THESE figures tne returns
are $4,000 annually from 10000 sheer.
Four thousand dollars would safely
| herd the flock each year. and there
would be II liberal amount left tor
other expenses and for dividends or
fixed charges. In five years our New
| England ranges and hillsdes should
be dotted with 5,00o,o00 sheep instead
of only $4,000. as now reported. and
we should produce a clip of 25.0O0. 0OG
pounds of wool. instead Of $500 0OO
pounds"
Such an industry would be more
valuable each year than could POSSIBLY

alone. When We consider the extent
| To which it would contribute ia Tho
comforts and welfare of the human
race, comparison with the economic
value Of the dog is impossible.

One Way Out OF II.


Anything which tends to give more
light en- beef prices is interesting to
the man who has family TO feed.
The most generally accepted explain
alton is that there is an illegal dis
honest combination of wholesale beef
buyers, packers and jobbers who are
in control of the market. No one be-
Iieves for a moment that serious COM
petition between the larger packers
al years: but whether that combina-
ton or gentlemen's agreement has any
direct bearing upon high prices is yet
to be proven. Nearly all of US believe
that we are paying tribute TO them
over and above their legitimate profit,
but whether the tribute they exact is
sufficient to cause more than very
small part of the large increase IN
beef prices since 1900 is question
which has not yet been solved. IN
the absence of proof that the packers
are solely to blame a casting about
for other explanations has its value.
In the earlier days of cattle raising,
when the creatures were pastured on
the open range, the labor cost and
food cost OF producing beet on the
hoof was comparatively slight, but
the revenue per acre Of land improved
was smaller still as compared TO the
farming As it developed that much
o. tie grazing land was suitable for
farms, farmers acquired i, and the
r1rge became smaller.
AS The range decreased the expense
OF raising cattle increased and it was
necessary for men seriously intend
ing to continue in the cattle business
10 find open range in other portions
of the continent. Some went south
into Mexico and have been exceeding
~ successful in raising young cattle
there, but have been entirely unsuc-
cessful in raising heavy beef. Others
went north into Canada and have car
ried on the cattle business with vary
ing success on the plains Of the great
Northwest. There the climatic con-
ditions were such that the raising of
large beef could be carried on with
greater profit than producing for veal
and the facilities for packing We're as
good or better than could be found
in the United States.
II the oh methods can be given up,
the necessity for going to Canada or
Ia Mexico or to any other foreign land
for our beef supply will be obviated-
if the general farmer throughout the
United States will make it his bust
being that in the aggregate these
small herds will replace the herds
which formerly covered our western
plains. IT, as is claimed by the pack
ers, the supply is inadequate and must
be increased, if high prices are ever
reduced it would seem
that this general increase in the num-
Der of small herds is the most sensible
course to pursue. There is a market
in other parts of the world for all the
cattle that can be produced by our
neighhors. and if there is any method
by which we can produce our beef at
home it should be done
