England, the meat market Of the
world. Up to the present time. prices
received for our export beef have reg
ulated prices for meat consumed at
home. This year there is no export
trade Our home consumption has
overtaken our home supply. We are
short on beef The past ten years
while the ranges have been breaking
UP into grain farms, and during
drought in the west the past two
years, and while our corn belt farm
ers have been selling everything that
would make beef from the farm, caus-
ing a shortage of per cent in beer.
our population has increased 20 per
cent
The cause of high prices for beef
Is due to a shortage In not only the
United States, but over the entire
world. Argentine, the only country
that has any great beef export trade,
has a tendency to increase her grain
farming, rather than her stock grow
ing. Men who have visited that coun-
try say that the beef business Is at a
standstill England can easily use all
that Argentine can supply. Many men
have been afraid that removing our
import duty on beef will cause such
an influx into this country that our
producers will be put out Of business.
| Other men claim that this is impossi-
BILE. 1t certainly seems highly improb-
able when We remember that there Is
a worlds shortage of beef, that the
ship lines run to England and not to
the United States from Argentina. and
that the American is a fastidious per

These conditions, along with the
generally considered advantages from
growing beef animals on the farm
such as consumption of roughage, con

labor. etc., should, l think, be suffi
cient inducement for a man of aver
age ability, on the average rolling
farm of Indiana, to go into the busi

A systematic culling out of the flock
and the replacing of the culls by the
most thrifty and promising eve lambs
is feature of sheep management that
deserves more thought and attention
than is ordinarily given TO the aver

attended TO annually IL the owner ex-
poets TO make any progress in the
general Improvement OF his sheep. In
cases OF neglect the flock is certain to

Because a large portion of the work
must be done when other work is
pressing. gardening is too often left
as slack time job. Doing the right
thing at the right time in the garden

Clean nests are very essential IN
producing clean nests. Change the
nest material occasionally, and as
precaution against insects burn the
discarded material that is taken from

Number OF

"A glance at this table shows
steady decrease in numbers from Jan.
1. 1906. to Jan. /, 1913, decrease of
43 per cent in seven years. During
the year of 1910 alone there was a
drop of q per cent. 1t Is evident that
Indiana is not holding her own in beef
production. She is not only decreas-
Ing IN her numbers, but she is not
keeping up with the other states. She
has dropped In rank from 10th place
In 1906 to 10Th in 1913. Now this
state of affairs is not due to lessen
ing In productive ability of Indiana
farms, nor to less chance for making
money with beet cattle during this
period, for, taken as whole, these
have been prosperous years in the
cattle business. 1t is simply due to
the fact that cattle have been selling
SO high that every one sold every
thing that would make beef in order
