The Mutton Supply

The sheep husbandry which obtains
on 10 per cent of our farms at present
considers the production of wool and
lambs, the latter to be marketed in
normal season. We cannot see any
thing but encouragement for this plan.
We have attained large proportions
as consumers of mutton. Study any
OF our large markets, by 10 year per-
iods, and note the phenomenal growth
il the receipts of sheep and lambs;
III 1870 the Chicago market received
100000; in 1880, 5000; in 1890,
2.1SO,0OO; in 1900, $4,000; in 1910.
h,229,000. We are consuming about
100000 sheep and lambs annually
in this country or a total weight of
630,000,OOO pounds.
approximately, 80 per cent of these
animals are lambs, and the bulk of
tie supply comes from the west az
present, but this supply is likely TO
be reduced because of the restriction
Of the range. If the supply is kept
up to the demand of consumers it
will devolve upon US to grow more
sheep, and with production reduced
in the west We shall be assured of
more remunerative prices for a good
product.
With increased consumption 1t is
only natural that a part of the de-
mand will be very discriminating in
what it buys. We can send better
lambs from our farms to the markets
than can the ranges of the west, and
since We can do IL, We are missing
our opportunity if we do not do it.
We should give our flocks better care
ard attention for the day is present
when in efficient handling of any fea-
ture Of farm operations will prove I'M
profitable.
Producers of lambs should never
forget that the lamb that is not fat
cannot grade as prime The offering
ray be correct in form, general quail
i;y and weight but if there is not good
covering over the spine and ribs, it
is not in the prime grade; lack of fin
ish is a general criticism leveled at
native lambs. In preparing our lambs
for market we should keep in mind
that in summer the consumer prefers
fat lambs weighing between 20 and so
pounds. In winter the weight may get
up to IS or 80 pounds.
In many cases the attitude toward
the small flock is wrong-it is con-
sldered merely a consumer of weeds
and a conserver of waste. The flock
should be considered feature OF the
fam worthy of the same kind Of care
gwen any other feature, and if we in
Illinois will do this, We can top the
market" with prime lambs at remark
allie profit.-Illinois Farmers Insti.

food which will perhaps give his crop
an extra start in spring and enable
it to draw more heavily upon the soil
than it otherwise would, thus using
in the one crop more plant food than
was applied in the fertilizer Such a
system appears to be profitable for
the year, but in most cases it leaves
the land poorer than at the begin
ming, so that ultimately the system
Of using small amounts of acid phos-
phate or so-called complete fertilizer
tends toward land ruin.
While the application of raw rock
phosphate produces but little effect
during the first year or two. where it
is used literally it usually pays for
itself during the first rotation even
though three-fourths of the phosphor-
las applied remains in the soil for the
benefit of future crops and for the
definite enrichment of the land.
AS an average of 80 distinct and
entirely separate tests conducted on
eight different fields in SIX different
counties in Illinois, the average yield
OF corn in 1908 increased nine bushels
per acre where raw rock phosphate
has been used during the previous
four or five years (see Illinois Expert
ment Station Bulletin No. 1879 and
YET there are those who believe that
raw rock phosphate is practically
worthless for use as a fertilizer; for
immediate results on most of the worn
soils of the eastern and southern
states, where fertilizers are most used,
| this is true, but it is also true that
enc ton of raw rock phosphate fur
nishes all of the phosphorus contained
| in about two tons of acid phosphate
or in four tons of most common com
plete" fertilizers, for which the local
price charged by Illinois dealers aver
ages S23 per ton.
Fine ground natural rock phosphate,
carrying IL to II and one-half per cent
Of the element phosphorus can be de-
| livered to Illinois railroad stations for
| from $3.50 to $3.50 per ton of 1000
pounds, and when used in connection
with an abundance or organic matter
in the soil, results have usually cost
| less than one-half as much as those
secured with soluble phosphates.
The greatest material problem OF
the United States is to bring about
the general adoption of systems OF
forming under which the farm lands
OF the country will grow more pro
dnctive, and upon this depends the
future success of every other import

Some who understand that raw rock
phosphate can be used more economi-
cally than other forms of phosphorus
in connection with definite systems Of
sell improvement continued year af-
ter year, are of the opinion that farm

EDITORIAL P AGE

The Cordova Daily Alaskan has found it necessary to reduce the size of it's publication to a five column folio. The change materially re duces the expense and still gives an the news that the people of a small community will pay for.
 wedoubt it there is a town Of a thousand population or less in the United States, outside Of Alaska, that has a daily newspaper, and the most Of them have no newspaper at all. That a daily newspaper can be maintained in any of these nor thern towns is a matter of surprise to every outsider that comes here for the first time. The only req son for 1t lies in the intelligence of our citizenship. We have a reading class and a thinking class of people who know that every dollar put into the newspaper subscription pays ample dividends in supplying information which is necessary part of an advanced civilization
