LIVE STOCK ON The FARM
DISCUSSED BY PROF. SHAW

vide food for man are considered.
These uses include the production of
wool, the destruction of weeds, and
the cheap and effective fertilization OF
the land.
1t is true that swine have increased
materially during the ten-yea period
now being considered In 1909, the
number OF swine in the United States
was 1889, 600: In 1912, they had in J.
creased to 65,410.000 representing an
increase of 1911, 900. This increase,
however viii not nearly make up for
the decrease in production Of meat by
cattle and sheep. The total produc-
ton of meat therefore, in 1912, was
considerably less than the production
Of the same in 1902.
Cause Of the Decrease.
The decrease in meat production is
largely due to one cause; viz: the
homesteading of the ranges of the west.
This movement has in q large measure,
Led to a decrease In teh area of range
pasture lands to the extent OF SOC, ,000,-
600 acres. This does not necessarily
imply that such an area of range pas
ture land has been broken up but 1t
does imply that much OF it has been
homesteaded. The hoInesteaders. in
the meantime. are intent only on grow :
ing grain. They do not have the stock
to Craze on the unbroken land near
them and live stock cannot now roam
on these lands lest they should destroy
the unfenced crop OF the homesteader.
But there are some other reasons which
have initiated against the increase of
cattle and sheep, especially on the
farms.
The increase OF cattle on the farms
has been greatly hindered by the popu-
lar faIlacy that there is no place for the
dual purpose cow on the farm. This
pernicious teaching, persisted In with
the tenacity Of a better cause by we'll
meaning men, but men whose vision
was clouded, has borne it's fruit 1t dis
eouraged or tended to discourage the
farmer from keeping cows on his farm
that would give him a fairly good
amount of milk and that would, at the
same time, furnish him offspring that
he could profitably grow into meat.
Think OF the tremendous harvest that
the farmers OF this country would reap
II their farms today were well stocked
with dual~purpose cows. Is it not time
that the men who denied the dual type
of COW on our farms should clothe
themselves In sackcloth and ashes by
way Of atonement for the wrong that
they have done to the country?
While the progress Of the sheep In
dustry has been largely stayed through
the settling up Of the ranges that is
not the only reason. 1t has been kept
away from millions OF the arabic farms
by the increase OF dogs and dog fam
ciers. Dogs love mutton no less than
men and. when given the opportunity.
they are not slow In many instances,
to help themselves to it in freshest
The Fargo forum and daily republican., 1913-01-16

Prof. Thos shaw, one of the ablest
agricuItuTalists in the northwest, de-
livered one OF the best addresses at
the Tri-State convention this after
noon. His address was as follows:
Live Stock on the Farm.
The extent to which live stock
should be grown on the farms Of
North Dakota will depend upon two
things. The hrst Is the degree Of the
relative Profit that may be obtained
from growing It, and the second Is
the extent to which its presence is
necessary to enable the farmer 20
grow wheat and other grains. When
meat sold on the farm at 2A to 31a
cents a pound as 1t did In years fol-
lowing 1893, the profit from growing
it was certainly to be questioned. Now
that these prices can be doubled with
the certain prospect of certain adj
vance. why should it's profitableness
for one moment be questioned? That
its presence is essential to the growth
of wheat at a profit win be shown
later.
Meat Prices Will Go Higher.
The high price tnat is paid for meat
OF all kinds has raised q commotion.
1t has been charged up against the
beef trust. Certain of the citizens of
this republic. In their indignation.
have tried to institute a boycott
against the use of meat. All such boy
colts will prove about as effective as
would a boycott against the use of
bread. The beef trust may not be
entirely innocent OF the charges made
against them, but granting this, II
does not, by any means, furnish full
explanation for the high price Of
meats. Unquestionabiy, 1t arises
chiefly from two aources. The first Is
a decline on the production Of beef in
recent years and the second is the
rapid increase in the popuiaticn.
Decline IN Production.
The extent to which the production
OF meat has declined in recent years
is, in a sense, alarming. What are the
facts? During the past ten years,
the cattle OF the United States have
decreased by 4, ,4SS, 900 head; that is,
the number has CONS down from a.
52S,0O0 In 1902 to S7.260.000 in 1912. 1t
is true, however, that the milch cows,
during that period, have increased to
the extent OF 4.002, 600; that is, they
have gone from 16.6970OO In 1902 to
20, 900 in 1912. The increase in the
number OF cows, therefore, would not
nearly make up for the loss OF meat
production arising from the decline
in the number of the animals other
than cows that has occurred.
The sheep OF the nited States mum
bered 62OS9, 900 in 1902. In 1912, they
numbered but 52.S62,O00, an increase
of S,677, 900. This increase is parti-
cularly to be deplored when the value
OF sheep for uses other than to pro-

HOPE TO RAISE LARGE SUM
Millions Of Red Cross Christmas Seals
to Be Sold for AntI-Tubereu-
losls Work.

Few people have any idea Of the
magnitude of the Red Cross Christmas
seal campaign. This year over 100,-
100000 seals have been printed and
distributed. II placed end.to-end
these seals would extend nearly 2.400
miles, or practically from New York
to Salt Lake City. They have been
sent to over $4,000 different agents
and will be sold and handled by an
army of not less than 100000 volun-
teers. including men, women and chill
dren. Millions of advertising circu-
lars have been scattered throughout
the country. and so thoroughly has
the advertising campaign been or
ganized that 1t is doubtful IL many
people In the more populous states
Of the country will not have heard of
the Red Cross seal and its mission In
the prevention Of tuberculosis. 1t is
hoped that at least 50,0OO,000 seals
may be sold this year. The principle
upon which the sale of seals is based
is that every cent except what little
is needed to cover the actual cost of
printing and handling shall be spent
for tuberculosis work In the commu-
nifty where the seals are sold.

plot TO KILL GUARDS
MILITARY INQUIRY FAsTENs IA
vETA MURDERS ON MINER.
Major Boughton Reports That John
FIockhart, Union Man, Was Prime
Instleator, by All Confessions.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Walsenburg, Colo.-John Flockhart,
= leader of the United Mine Work
ers of America, instigated the La
veta murders, In which three mine
guards and an automobile driver were
fired upon from ambush and killed by
party Of strikers, Nov. S. according
to formal statement issued by Judge
Advocate Maj. Il. j. Boughton. The
statement was made following the ex-
animation of three members OF the
party of strikers who have confessed
their part in the killings. The state
mcnt Of Major Boughton says:
THE testimony adduced in the La
veta killing investigation reveals that
the prime instigator of the murder
plot was one John Flockhart. accord
Ing to all confessions.
1T appears. according to the state
ments Of the prisoners, that Flockhart,
the union leader in charge of the
strikers in La Veta, put into execu-
tion, II he did not actually devise. the
plan to waylay and kill the men who
were murdered.
He distributed the arms for so do
Ing and provided In advance picket
line to turn back people from the
scene Of the tragedy and cover the re.
treat Of the actual participants, whose
confessions are being made.
1t appears that the day after tho
tragedy at La Veta and as soon ns
the prisoners were apprehended by
the military authorities. Flockhart fled
from the state. going to New Mexico"
The statement continues that all ef-
forts to locate Flockhart have thus
far failed. According to one report,
he is In southern New Mexico. and an
other says that he is In the vicinity
OF Dallas. Tex.
The seven prisoners under arrest in
connection with the La Veta killings
have In substance reiterated the con-
fessions made public several weeks
ago by Maj. c. C. Townsend. All OF
the evidence points to carefully laid
plot for the purpose Of waylaying and
killing the party of guards.
New evidence has been brought out,
particularly with reference to the
preparations that we're made for the
attack. The plans for the murders
we're laid Immediately upon It beccm-
ing known that the guards were lenv-
ing Oakdale for La Veta to rescue
Charles Gambler. and the plot was
carried out In every detail.
After the most strenuous day Of evi-
dence taking since the military com.
mission convened here. the La Veta
killing case was concluded and nine
men. six as principals and three rs
accessories. were ordered held indef-
initely.
Those held as principals are:
Charles, Dan and Ed Richards. John
Sheppard. San De John and Pete
Krupa. Those held as accessories are:
Marcus Mantinolich. Peter Rich and
