Fur as a Farm Product.

Wild fur-bearing animals have be-
come SO scarce in North America that
the women Of this country are wearing
skunk, opoSSlin, ,nuskFat, domestic
cat and even squirrel furs, Instead of
the mink and otter and beaver, which
are now beyond the reach of all but
the wealthy.
This state of affairs has created a
splendid opportunity for the production
of fur from animals kept in captivity.
and the United States biological survey
has begun a series of experiments in
the raising of fur-bearing animals in
order to be able to inform American
farmers of the possibilities of fur rails
ing as business. Most of the sue
cessful fur farming in this country has
been done with fox and skunk. but the
government experts believe that mink
and marten will prove even more prac-
ticable as domestic animals.
The experiments have shown that
these animals are very easy to: care for,
thrive in small space and eat a,great
variety of food. 1t is believed that
fur farming offers an especial oppor-
tunity for the small farmer and the
country dweller generally who has a
small capital to invest

Makes Case Against Liquor.

Oliver W. Stewart of Chicago, former
member of the Illinois state legisla-
ture, in an address on The Case
Against the Liquor Traffic" said:
THE burden of proof falls on those
who seek a change in governmental
policy That which is, continues unless
it can be clearly shown that IL ought
not to be. For many years the liquor
traffic has been a licensed, law protect
ed Institution. We who desire change
in that policy must show good reason
for the faith that is III us. We cannot
ask Il favorable verdict of the people
unless we can convince by argument
and persuasion. There is no place for
vituperation and abuse.
II desire to present two reasons or
arguments in favor of the outlawry of
the liquor traffic. The first is the eco
nomic one. There is an economic phase
to this case. The motto of the busi-
ness world is conservation. The prob
lem of the business world. is the elimi-
nation of unnecessary and useless waste.
The liquor traffic is waste. Anything is

Enemy of Good Government.

MY second reason for the outlaWry
of the liquor traffic is that it is the
enemy of good government. Nothing
which harms and Injuries humanity can
claim the protection of the law. The
thief. the burglar, the gambler. the
counterfeiter, all find themselves out
side the pale of the law. The liquor
traffic is an Institution that cannot
come openly and aboveboard and ask
the protection of the state. 1t must
get that protection by devious means

or it must bribe the people. or both

Dogs Q Menace
to Sheep Industry,


keeping sheep on farm. The Depart
ment of Agriculture advocates COM
batting this danger by the passage of
model dog laws. such as the state of
Virginia has, and by building dog proof
night cotes.
Provided these difficulties can be
over. the advantage to the farm
er of keeping sheep are many. The
sheep is :: more economical animal to
feed than the steer. returning a large
amount of gain per hundred pounds OF
feed consumed 1t yields d double re-
turn in meat and wool. Sheep are Very
prolific and will increase 100 per cent
annually under favorable conditions.
They will also clear a farm of. weeds if
allowed TO range in the lanes. and in
the stubble fields after the grain is
cut
Moreover. the practc1bility of the
sheep as j farm animal has been dem
Cnstrated both i'll England and in this
country In England. it is estimat ted
that there is one sheep or lamb to
every "a acres OF land in farms, while
in thirty-seven farm states in this
country there is only one sheep or
lamb to every SIS acres of land in
farms.
In the early part OF the last century
sheep raising upon farms was a prof
liable industry in this country. In 1910
the middle atlantic states had more
sheep than any other section of the
country, 36.s per cent OF all the sheep
, in the country being in that section,
while New England was second with
1875 per cent, and the third place was
held by the north central, with 1876 per
cent. Then came the opening of the
great western ranges, where the sheep
business was carried upon 4 much
more extensive and profitable: basis.
AT present none of these sections has
more than per cent Of all the sheep

kinds, including small trees and shrubs,
is completely destroyed. On national
forests it has been found necessary
greatly to restrict the sheep-grazlng
areas. because the reproduction of the
forest growth was checked for years
wherever they had passed. 1t is this
complete destruction of the range by
sheep which has created the age-o]u
feud between cattle and sheep men. In
the old days of the lawless range thou
sands of sheep We're shot down by irate
cattlenen whose stock had been liter
ally starved as the result of running
sheep over the range.
Such wasteful methods cannot be toll
Grated in Il country which is having
difficulty in raising enough meat for
its own consumption. The enforce
ment of scientific methods in the use
of the range is the only remedy. Thus
the increase of the mutton supply, like
that of beef, depends largely upon the
esta blishment of system of leasing
the public grazing lands under federal
supervision.
The next most important method of
increasing the number of sheep in the
country consists in educating the farm
ers of the country to keep a few sheep
upon their premises. An educational
campaign to this end is being con-
Quoted by the Department of Agricul-
ture. There is scarcely a farm in the
from dozen to 4 hundred sheep with
out restricting the number of other
livestock raised. Undoubtedly an inn
portant industry may be developed in
this way if the farmers will take an
interest in the matter. The chief diff
ficulty lies in the fact that the sheep
is a range animal, and will never
thrive as well upon a farm as upon
an open range. Wherever sheep have
been kept upon farms or other rela-
lively small areas in this country they
have been attacked by a parasite called
the stomach worm. which is often
fatal to them. 1t remains for long
periods upon farms where it has once
gotten 4 hold, and fields infested by
it are always unsafe for sheep. 1t al
ways develops where sheep are crowd
ed upon restricted area. and may
best be prevented by grazing the ami
mails in rotation upon a number of
fields. If farmers would be satisfied
to keep only a few sheep, and to
handle those scientifically, the diff
Guilty would be largely obviated.

Mutton Consumption more than :.
Far Below Beef. 49,. A ~ ,ase 81
In 1909 the people of this country con
sumed more than 1000, 100000 pounds
of beef, but only about 100000, 900
pounds of lamb and mutton. Thus it
is seen that an enormous increase i'll
the sheep-raising industry would be
necessary before the mutton supply
could take the place of serious short
age in beef.
AS in the case of cattle, the narrow =
ing of the western range lands by the
incursion of the dry farmer and the
irrigation project has been 4 factor in
the decrease in the mutton supply.
The sheep industry has not been as
much affected as cattle raising. be-
cause sheep range over land which is
utterly unfit for agriculture and would
not support cattle at all. Neverthe
less, the capacity of the western sheep
ranges, like those for cattle, can be
greatly increased by proper manage
strated by the administration of the
grazing lands under its control. In
1905 eighty-one acres upon national
forests were necessary for the support
of one animal. while in 1917 the aver
age was fifty-one acres for each ami

all of the public lands suitable for
sheep grazing were as well utilized as
those upon the national forests theiI
capacity would be increased so pei
cent.
In improving the capacity of sheer
ranges the use of different areas in
rotation. the definite separation of cat
tie and sheep lands and the improve
ment of the water supply are i'm
portant means, but the introduction
and enforcement. of scientific methods
of handling sheep on the range are
even more SO.
The common method of handling
sheep on the range throughout the
west is to keep the flock as closely
herded as possible to prevent straying
and to Craze them over one area until
| the grass is completely exhausted, bed
ding the sheep in the same place every
night during such period. The result
is that more forage is trampled and
killed BY the animals than is eaten and
that an unduly long time is required
for the range to recover. The forest
service has by experiment perfected a
method of handling sheep which con-
sists in ranging them in open order
and bedding the flock In Il different
place every night. In a series of eX-
periments by which this method was
compared with the old one it was
found that not only was the Yange in
jured less, but that the sheep4ained in
weight. and that during the lambing
season much fewer lambs were lost by
crowding and trampling.

A large audience for Monday night
was present at the Baptist church
last night at the revival meeting.
Pastor Masters read for a text:
''And David said unto Nathan, l have
sinned against the lord" The min
lister said:
1--WE have three great facts in the
text: % The fact of a great sin
committed; (2) The fact of a great
confession made; and CD The fact
of a great forgiveness experienced.
Eyes, David had committed a great
sin. 1t was great because of his
position as the religious leader of
the people. His high position as
king made his sin great. The ma
ture of the sin he committed made
it great. He first took another mans
wife and then committed murder.
Sin always goes in droves. One sin
always brings another Then his
was great because it was against
the Lord God. If we could just
remember that every sin committed
is against our God it would enable
us to see the Nervousness of sin.
But David made a great confession
of his sin. 1t was a direct con-
fession. He did not try to evade it
or explain it away but admitted it
outright l have sinned. have
sinned. His confession came from the
heart. He acknowledged it all in
full. What the church needs to do
is to confess her sins and expert
ence a great forgiveness.
Forgiveness always follows con-
fession. David said: 4 have sinned
against the Lord, but the Lord said
have put away thy SINS Chris
tian people, if you have sinned
against God by your neglect of duty,
by doing wrong, confess it tonight
and you will be happy in your ex-
perience of forgiveness. Sinner,
confess your sin ana they will be
