MEAT SUPPLY DECREASING.
Farmers Must Raise More Beef, Pork
and Mutton to Feed the World

statistics of the meat supply of
Great Britain suggest III a startling
way that the whole civilized world
will before long be Obliged to change
its diet. or increase its meat produc-
iton." says the Wall Street Journal
"In the United States and Great Brit
ain. as well as in many other count
ries. population grows more rapidly
than the number OF meat-producing
animals. Great Britain's population
for example, increased from 4366l ,OO0
in 1906 to about As ,S6l 900 in 1911,
and during the same period her total
number OF sheep grew only from %,
3l3.394 to 30.527 ,4S0, while her head
OF cattle actually decreased from T.
253170 to $1,000, sos The correspond
ing changes in her total estimated
meat supply in pounds are here ex
hibtcd--tlsing 700 pounds as the aver
age weight OF beef cercasses, fifty
pounds for sheep and thirty pounds
for lambs These weights are regard
cd as conservative by American pack
ers.
In this comparison lamb meat is
included with mutton, while veal and
pork are not included at all There is
sufficient evidence. however. that the
people of the United Kingdom, like
those of the United States. are mcrri-
ly eating more and more meat as Their
wealth increases, unconscious that
they are exhausting the sources ri
their supply of meat-producing ami
mails For some. years past the mum
bcrs slaughtered have been too la, sc
III comparison with the average rate
OF propagation With veal and pork
included. the British consumption
would probably total about ITO pounds
per capita Even in 1896 Mulhall es-
timetcd it AT 100 pounds, as compared
with 90 pounds in 1870 Thus far the
shortage in the domestic supply has
been more than offset by importa
tons. but the time is coming when ii
will be necessary to go TO the root OF
the trouble and produce more ami
mails

FAVOR INDIAN RUNNERS.
Few Breeds Better Suited to Farm
Imported from West Indies.

Much has been said through the diff
ferent farm and poultry journals iii
favor of the Indian Runner duck, but
| believe there are few who ralize the
possibilities and advantages of rear
ing ducks of this breed
As have been raising this breed OF
ducks for "A few years, | can testify
that they deserve all the praise given
them.
They are not an entirely new va
riety having been imported some Is
years ago from the West Indies. thus
ii receives the name Of Indian" with
the Runner" added to denote its
chief popularity, its rapid movement
over the ground.
They are great feragers and pick
up innumerable bugs and insects
This alone should give them an i'm
portant place on every farm.
Owing to their extreme hardness,
it is quite an easy task to raise a
large flock OF Indian Runners, with
very little trouble.
They are never bothered with lice
there are no roosts to keep clean, and
no expensive houses are needed; just
low-roofed shed to protect them
from the severe winds and SHOWS in
winter. says a writer i'll the Farm
Progress. The houses should have a
dry iloor-covering of straw or some
kind OF litter. as they must have a dry
place on which to sleep.
While they are not land fowl, it
IS not at all necessary to have run
ming water for them to swim in All
that is needed is plenty OF clean water
to drink, placed in a vessel deep
enough for them to cover their heads,
clogged with mud or feed.
The young ducklings grow and ma
turc so quickly it is indeed very inter
esting and fascinating to raise them.
We have had young ducklings that
weighed three and one-fourth pounds
when 90 days old; when matured
they will weigh from four and one
bald TO five pounds.
Being a quick maturing fowl makes
their meat exceedingly tender. and
juicy. OF fine favor, equal or superior
10 spring chicken.
Their eggs are large. about one
third larger than the average hen egg,
and perfectly white And. contrary
to the general idea of duck eggs. they
are of mild. delicate flavor, making
them very desirable for the table or
cake baking, buildings. etc The eggs
under ordinary conditions are very
fertile and will hatch exceedingly well

Dairy and Beef Breeds.

The strictly dairy breeds, according
to the accepted classification, are Hol-
stein. Dutch Belted, Guernsey, Jersey
and Ayrshire There are very few
Dutch Bcltcd cattle in the United
States as compared with the other
breeds. In the so-called dual purpose
class come the Red Polls, Brown
Swiss, Polled Durham and Short
horns. The strictly beef breeds are
Hercfords, the beef families OF Short
horns, Aberdeen Angus and Gallo
ways. No great claims are made Tor
them as mixers, although many
Shorthorns are of great value as such

Wood Ashes for Grape Vines.

Common wood ashes, with few

Gentle Treatment Needed.

No matter how carefully the milk
COW is fed and watered she will not
do her best at the pail unless she re
ccives gentle treatment. This IS a
rule that has no exception and the
man who does not have a natural Xix
ing for the work OF caring for cows
will do well to leave dairying alone,

Good and Poor Cows.

The practice of getting rid of the
poorest cows and putting good ones
in their places looks mighty eNpen-
sive, but it is not SO expensive as
keeping them in the herd to drag
down the profits OF the better ones.

Value of Buttermilk.

The value of buttcrmilk as food
for hogs has long been known to
practical feeders and investors, but
Notwithstanding this fact it has often
been wasted in large quantities at
creamcries or has been sold by them
for prices much below its value as a
hoo feed

Incomplete Milking Bad.

Incomplete milking not only robs
the dairyman OF the richest portion
OF the milk, the strippings, but it dam
ages the COW, tending to lessen her
daily production and to shorten the
period of lactation 1t takes little
more time to draw the last pint OF
milk from. the udder, but the time is
well spent in view of the gain both to
the COW and to its owner.

Autumn Calves.

According to some experiments
made in Ireland. calves born in the
autumn made faster gains during the
winter when housed at night in a we'll
ventilated shed than did calves which
received no shelter, but by midsum-
muir there was little difference in the
two lots. Wet weather had more
injurious effect on the unprotected
cattle than did protracted cold
spell.

the results have been emineutly sat

THE PROGRESS
OF FUEL OIL

The champions Of fuel oil have
good reason to feel grathed over the
advance of their cause during the last
few months" says the Oil. Paint and
Drug Reporter. Gradually the field
has been broadened as the effective
ness of petroleum as a substitute for
coal has been demonstrated beyond
doubt or question. It Is significant
that what appears to have been the
most positive steps in the assurance
of the fuel oil industry have been at
a time when the coal trade has been
threatened by labor disturbances of
the most virulent and widespread
character Those who are working
with greatest zeal in the progress u
the fuel oil cause will undoubtedly be
able to turn to profitable account the
menace that now confronts and may
at any future time eudangeT the pro
duction and marketing of its rival
