Washington, ID. c., Feb. 1.-Two
wiutry storms are expected to cross the
country from the west during the pres
ent week, which, the weather bureau
experts say, will open with fair
weather and moderate temperatures

The first part of the week" the
bureaus bulletin sets forth will be
fair over the eastern, central and
southern portions of the country,
with moderate temperatures as a rule,
although there will be light frosts

"A disturbance, now over Montana,
will extend eastward and southeast
ward, preceded and accompanied by
increasing ~cloudiness and rising tenn
peratures, bot probably by little or nc
precipitation in the Rocky mountain
region and the plains states. There
will, however, be rain or snow by
Tuesday in the great central valleys
and the upper lake region, and during
Tuesday night and Wednesday the
rains and SHOWS will extend through
the lower lake region to the middle
Atlantic states and New England.
Rising pressure and falling tenn
peratures will follow the northwest
ern disturbance, and as temperatures
are now very low w Alaska it is
probable that another brief period of
low temperatures will get in begin
ming Monday night in the northwest.

county about the middle of the week
and the east a day or so later.
"A second disturbance will appear
on the north Pacitic coast by Tuesday
or Wednesday. 1t will cause local
SHOWS in the northwest, and will move

sulting rains and SHOWS over the cen

Aberdeen dispatch: James West
moreland, the Aberdeen weather
prophet, who is a close rival of III r.
Hicks as a prognosticator, states that the
country may expect some extremely
cold weather a little later on. He says
the breaking up of the mild weather
which has prevailed in many sections
of the country since November will
come about February Z, and that be.
tween that date aud February 25 will
occur radical extremes of temperature,

Sisseton dispatch: The municipal
saloon idea, inaugurated in South Da-
kota by Sisseton lie gaining ground in the
state and it is probable other towns
will have ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS saloons
after June 80. DeSmet is the latest
South Dakota town to discuss the
plan, and much favorable comment is
heard there. Sisseton officials are re-
ceiving many inquiries relative to
the plan by which the town has
cleared a good profit from the saloon,
instead Of letting some private indi.
vidual make all the money outside the
regular license fee.

more meat cattle, sheep and swine to
give the present population the same
supply that the census of 1910 showed
to exist.
While the population of the country
ia estimated to have increased from
81, 972, 600 to SO, GAG, 900 in the past
three years. the number of beef cattle
has decreased 1919 per cent and of
sheep So per cent. The number of
swine increased slightly, 1.3 per cent,
but it did not keep up with the proper
~tionate growth of population.
In spite of the reduced number, it
is estimated that the value of cattle
IN the county increased from 81, 1884,
600, 900 in 1910 to 81, $3.50, 0S7, 900 on
January /.
This increase in value, however"
the departments statement pointed
out, docs not necessarily mean that

if any, profit. On the contrary, the
cost of production probably has in
creased more rapidly than the increase
in the selling price of live stock. Pro-
ducers of farm products are the last
to receive any benefit from higher
prices paid by consumers, yet they
are among the first to increase pro-
d~uction if there is a prospect of realiz-
ing better returns.
1.-The fact that there is a pl esent
shortage of nearly 10. 900, 900 meat
animals in the United States since
the census of 1910 indicates clearly
that the business lie not profitable to
producers"
The scarcity of meat animals is at
tributed by department experts to the
encroachment of farms upon range ter
ritory, lack of proper range leasing
laws, shortage in the corn and forage
crop in Kansas. Nebraska and Oklaho
ma, inceased value of land and higher
cost of labor and stock feed, decline
in stock raising on farms in the east
and south because of poor marketing
facilities, the temptation to sell live
stock at prevailing high prices, and
enormous losses from hog cholera.
