INCREASE In LIVE

Mutton Will be Substituted
for Meat and Pork Now
in Demand

While admitting the inability of Amer
lean farmers TO increase their production
of fresh foods as rapidly as the popula-
ton is increasing, the American Agricul-
turalst in its ISSUE OF January -. says
that this fact does not of necessity hold in
il any marked menace for meat consu-
mers. because readiustmeut between
supply and demand will gradually be ef
fected and because mutton will be large

touched upon by the American Agric,l.
turalist IN It's annual review of live stock
on farms at the beginning of this year.

year the total value of live stock in this
country has increased $500, 100000. the lar
gcst annual increase on record This in
crease has been effected. the Agricultural

Ser Of hogs and cattle other than milch
COWS.
Tie upward movement In values dur
ing the last year is said by this journal
to be merely in keeping with the upward
trend which has been under way during
the last ten years. With tho single eN-
ception Of beef cattle the average price a
head of all live stock in this country is
said TO be higher now than ever before.
one Of the most striking features of the
situation IS said to be the marked increase
i'm the price of horses during the year
The average value of horses is declared 10
be higher now than ever before.
There has been a sharp increase in the
number of milch COWS; the Agriculturalist
SAYS which has been shared by practi-
cally every city. but is particularly high in
the pre-eminenty dairy states. This i'm
crease Is said TO reflect the highly satis-
factory condition of the dairy business.
According to the American AgricultIr-
alist there are now In this country In
round numbers. 20O0o.OOO horses. 1000 OoO
mules, 22.OOoOoO milch COWS. 100000 cat

100000 sheep.

made by w. Stewart Thomson in new

tical experience and from evidence
provided by the papers Of competitors

London Daily Mail.
Not five percent of educated English

high class newspapers the simple word
'repellent.' The English language is a
living and growing thing, and diction-

more common fallacy with the exper-

DAYS of free education and strict gov

should therefore contain only such

CARP ARE KILLING WILD RICE
Hunters Declare That Thinning Out
of Grain Makes Numbers of
Ducks Decrease.

MenaSha.-Duck hunters say that
there is surprisingly large amount
of lOOsened wild rice and wild celery
floating on the lakes and rivers Of
Winnebago county. They assert that
the wild rice and celery marshes are
being rapidly thinned out, and that
this loss of rich vegetables is causing
an alarming decrease in the number
Of wild ducks in local waters.
What causes this damage to the
wild rice and celery? That is what
hunters want to know, and if there
is remedy they want the remedy
too.
One local sportsman and naturalist
who has studied conditions for years
accuses the carp Of the work.
ssThe shores of lake Buttes des
Morris, Poygan, Winneconne and Win
Rebago are lined with wild celery

a diminution Of the number of deep
water ducks that will find feed in
these waters and a consequent loss
to hunters in this section"

lands so that actual settlers can pay
for them on the installment plan.
Under the present law in Wiscon-
sin, payment for public lands must be
made in cash, and there is no limit
to the number Of acres that may be
purchased. The result is that cor
porations and promoters have been
the chief buyers, because the average
would-be settler cannot afford to paw
cash. Mr.. Dahl will ask the legisla-
ture to pass a law copied somewhat
after the Minnesota law, which pro-
vides for time payments.
