PROFIT in SHEEP J
Feeder Sheep and Lambs Are Al
Now Cheap.
GOOD MONEY in PROSPECT
A self-Evldent Proposition.

Good growing stock OF any kind that
Is selling below the cost of productapa
is always a safe investment, II The
purchaser is prepared to take good
care Of 1t.
He who buys and develops such
stock is almost certain to make
good profit in doing so, because pro
duction will not long continue at .
loss, while consumption Of staples
must go on steadily. .s3 ss
Not many others are buying such
stock, or else it would not be selling
SO cheaply, and 1t follows logically
and consistently that when it has
been grown and finished for Market.
there will then be a comparative
scarcity Of such finished stock and
such good prices will be realized for II
that handsome profit will result from
the deal. &
This reasoning is self-evident, and
applies with especial emphasis to the
present situation in feeder sheep and
lambs. &
Last years conditions are now 70.
versed. Then nearly everybody was
crazy to feed sheep and lambs. and
an immense number. were sold and
shipped to- the country at about the
highest prices on record. This to-
gether with an enormous corn crop
OF high feeding value. world OF
perfectly cured roughage and a splen-
did winter feeding season were fac
tors that combined to produce a heavy
supply of fat sheep and lambs for
market during the early part OF this
year, while retailers Of meats held
up prices to consumers. so that con-
sumption was limited, with the nat
ural and logical result of low prices
and feeders losses in most instances.
In consequence OF last years un-
profitable experience and present
scarcity OF grass and hay, most farm
ers and many professional feeders OF
sheep and lambs are now avoiding the
market, and very few are being ship
ped to the country. while prices are
the lowest since 1904. In fact, feed.
er sheep and lambs are selling on the
market today for less than the cost Of
production. s5g5s5
These facts mean that early next
year there will be scarcity Of fat
sheep and lambs at market, and com
paratively high prices will prevail
Those who have the nerve to 60 con
trary to the crowd and invest In good.
thin but thrifty feeder sheep and
lambs at the present low price, will
have no cause to regret their enterpris-
ing independence when they come TO
market them in finished condition.
The concensus OF opinion Of the
best minds in the trade is that since
both prices for feeding stock and pros
poets for fat stock are much better
than they were last year. therefore the
opportunities for profit are CORE
spondingly better. In fact. the whole
situation Is the reverse of last year.
Now is the time to buy, because
range conditions ere such that moss
of the sheep and lambs will come to
market from the range regions ready
for slaughter. while fewer Of the feed.
er classes will be marketed during the
remainder Of this year. and the supply
will not equal the probable Fall de-
mand, so that prices are likely to Be
materially higher in October and No

Systematic TarIff Robbery.

There is joke concealed in this
little tariff story, according to Mr..
Bryan's Commoner. The task of the
reader will be to detect the joke. then
decide just whom the joke is on. The
country consumes about three million
tons Of sugar year. OF this amount
2.3OO,00O tons is imported and 100000
tons produced at home. The home
product isn't worth as much as Ne
braskas egg and butter crop by sew
eral millions of dollars. Yet under
the guise of protecting" the American
sugar raiser the sugar consumers are
taxed about $50 million dollars year.
Sugar is retailing at about SLY ton.
We could buy the home product and
give 1t away. paying the price now OBJ
tanning under protection. then throw
it away, and save ITO million dollars
a year by putting sugar on the free
list.

Taft seems to hold out hope for tariff
revision at the next session of con-
gress.
But how?
One of the reasons he gave for We

that any tariff measure that is not a
compromise can get through con-

The Elections Of 1911.

Six states will elect governors this
year--Kentucky, Maryland, Massachu-
sets, Mississippi, Rhode Island and
Vermont. Mississippi and Maryland
are conceded to the Democrats. Rhode
Island and Vermont probably are as
surely Republican. The Republicans
have the governor of Kentucky now,
and will make fight for his re-elec-
ton with slight hope of success, but
with the United States senatorship In
the balance in that state, the greater
chance seems to be with the Ken
lucky Democrats.
The really interesting campaign this
year will be in Massachusetts. Last
year the Democrats elected Eugene N.
Foss, and he has given the state q
progressive administration. But the
Republicans are planning to make
Massachusetts the national battle
ground In the 1911 elections. II they
can win back the state it will be ac-
cepted by the Republican national or
ganization as an indication that the
tide Of insurgency against the admin
tstration is receding.

sets will be led by Senator Lodge
and Representative Mccall. both
friends of the Taft administration. Nc
Call led the fight on the Republican
side in the house for reciprocity, Sen
ator Lodge gave his support to reel

IN the measure that was manifested
by Mr.. Mccall The Massachusetts,
farmers were among those who pro
tested against reciprocity through
their Grange organizations. But Rep
resentative Mccall says that public
sentiment is changing on the subject
or reciprocity, and that If the Demo
Gratis make an issue of 1t the Repub-
licans will accept 1t, thus adding ma
tional interest in the Massachusetts
fight by joining issues over national
measure.

the unhappy marriage OF Consuelo.
