DIMINUTION OF SHEEP
DECLINE OF "a PER CENT FROM
1918 is NOTED.
Has Many Distinct Advantages as
Farm Animai-Much More Eco
nomicai to Feed Than Steer
Leads as Meat-Food.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agricuiture.)
A heavy decline In the number of
sheep has taken place since 1910. ac-
sording to the department of agricul-
ture. In that year the number on
farms as ascertained by the census
was 52,448. 900; the estimate for Janu-
airy l. 1914. is 49.719. 900, a decline of
"a per cent from 1913 and of So per
cent from 1910.
Among the causes that have con-
tributed to the diminution of number
of sheep is the scarcity of labor re-
quired for their care. the high prices
of sheep and lambs for slaughter. the
displacement of sheep by expanding
dairying, deficient %pasturage and for
age on account of drought, destruction
by dogs, the settlement Of range land
previously occupied by sheep, and the
low price of wool; also the increasing
value of land.
The estimates of the department for
the number of sheep on farms in the
United States on January /. 1914. show
a decided decrease as compared with
1913, according to the department OF
Agriculture. The apparent tendency
toward a decline in the number of
sheep on farms has been noted for
some time and has caused sheep rails
ing on farms to be referred to as a
waning industry. A word here con-
corning the economy of sheep and
their place in agricultural practice
may not be out of place.
AS a farm animal per Sc, the sheep
has many distinct advantages. The
sheep is a much more economical ami
NAL to feed than the steer, returning
a larger amount of gain per 10C
pounds of feed eaten. When his ca
pacity to consume roughage is con,
sidered, he is more economical than
the hog. The sheep yields a double
return-meat at an economical cost
and wool as a by-product-which will
go far toward %defraying the cost Of
keep. Sheep are prolific. A farm
flock which does moi yield at least 10(
per cen increase is very poor indeed

Stable Manure.

II is a well-known fact that nc sys-
tenn of crop rotation will restore to
the soil the potash and phosphoric
acid removed by crops. Unless these
elements that are removed be returned
in some manner, the soil will in
evitably become too poor for an am
bilious man to cultivate. Common
stable manure is conceded to be one
of the best fertilizers for general pur-
poses. and it is to be deplored that
much of this valuable plant food is
dumped away as so much trash. or
exposed to the teaching rains. even
when intended for use. If IL can make
poor soil rich it can certainly main
tain the fertility of rich soil. It is
not insisted that the use Of it would
be advisable In all cases.. since the
fertility of the soil and the crop TO be
raised should be the governing fac
tors. but it 10 safe TO assert that all
stable manure a advantageously be
used in any general farming com
munity.

ding. Raising sheep for wool alone
does not pay on farms, and the at
tempts OF farmers to make 1t pay IL
undoubtedly largely responsible fol
the prevailing opinion that sheep are
not profitable on expensive land. Sheep
are raised in England on some of the
most expensive land in the kingdom,
but they are raised as meat animals
and not as wool producers; the wool
is a by-product, as 1t should be in
farm focks.

farm revenues be materially increased
but a decided step In advance would

Decline of Hogs on the Farm.
Although the estimated number OF
swine on farms January 1, 1914, AS,
933. 900. vas 1.3 per cent more than
the census number for 1910, the de
cline from 1913 was 81 per cent. This
decline is partly accounted for by the
extensive prevalence of hog cholera
by high-priced corn. by the deficient
production Of 1913 because of a Sc
we're long-continued and extensive
drought and because Of the high prices
of swine for slaughter. Notwithstand
ing the high price of hogs for slaugh
ter, farmers found that they could not
profitably feed the high-priced corn
At the same time, the price of hogs
per hundred pounds was high relative
ly. although not as high as corn. In
this situation hogs were often sent tc
market understood.
The average size OF hogs on the
farm January l, has never been direct
ly ascertained, but it may be com
puted from the average price per head
divided by the average price per hun
dred pounds. as ascertained by thiI
bureau. AS a result of this operation
the average weight of a hog on the
farm January 1, 1914. was las pounds
in 1913 it was 144 pounds, in 1912 14(
pounds; and in 1911, 131 pounds. Thu
marketing OF DOWNRIGHT hogs which
has been frequently commented upor
in livestock and commercial papers
during the last three years, is appar
ent in the foregoing average weights
which are apparently high because
the lighter hogs have been sold off.
The average value of swine OF
farms per head January 1, 1914, wal
5000. OF 5.5 per cent above the aver
age value of January 1, 1918, and 49,.
per cent above that of 1910. In con
sequence of the increased value o
swine per head, the total value of al
swine on farms is estimated at s612
951 900, Or a gain of 1.6 per cent owe
1913 and 14.9 per cen over 1910. Tn
diminution of swine January /. 1911
was more than counterbalanced b
the increased price per head of thos
that were on hand.
