Year days and this is so be-
cause of the large number of

used in this country is imported,
about Is per cent Of the foreign
hides coming from Argentina,
! Is per cent from Canada, II per
cent from Mexico, 8 IL per cent
from European Russia, and z IL
per cent from France. Since the
outbreak of the war importations
have shown a certain falling off,
those for September, 1914, for
example, being only "a, 600, 600
pounds, instead of 45, 1000, 600
pounds the year previous. There
is, however, little reason to sup
pose that this decrease will be
permanent or of sufficient i'm
portance to create any real
scarcity. Since the great bulk
of the imported hides comes from
countries that are not at war,
shipments are not interfered
with in any way, and the only
new factor to be considered is
the possibility of an increased
demand by the warning coun-
tries.
It is believed, however, that
the United States is now in a
better condition to face such a
situation than for years past.
The tide, it seems, has turned.
Instead of live stock steadily de-
creasing year after year, this
year for the first time, as has
been said, all classes show an
appreciable increase. Including
horses, mules, mich COWS, beef
cattle, sheep and swine, there
were on January /, 1915, 7,7l2,
600 more farm animals in the
United States than on January
1,1914. The increase in the total
value was s78, 024, 900, or 1.3 per
cent. 1t is quite true that this
increase is not yet proportional
to the increase in population,
which is approximately 2 per
cent; but the fact that there is
an increase, that the tide seems
definitely to have turned, is re-
garded as a sufficient answer to
alarming exaggerations and mis-
leading figures. Weekly News

MORE LIVE STOCK
THAN YEAR AGO

For the first time in many
years, information collected by
the department shows that all
classes of live stock in the United
States are increasing in num-
bers. Thus the real facts con-
tradict, absolutely, sensational
reports that prices for meat and
shoes would rise to unprece-
denied figures in the immediate
future. 1t has even been said
that a government statistican
predicted meat at SO cents a
pound and shoes at $40 a pair
within the next two years, Such
a prediction, the real govern
ment statisticans say, is quite
unwarranted.
On January l, for instance,
the number of beef cattle showed
an increase Of g. per cent over
the number a year ago, and an
actual increase Of /, PIP, 600 head.
Hitherto the number of beef
cattle in the United States has
declined steadily since 1910.
There are also more mich COWS
in the country than last year,
the increase being rs per cent,
or in numbers SIS, 1000. Swine,
however, showed the greatest
increase Of all classes SO per
cent. On January l, 1914, there
were only IS, 933, 600 swine in the
country; on January |, 1915,
Cd, SIS, O0o. This is accounted
for by the fact that the produc-
ton of swine can be increased
more rapidly than that of other
classes of live stock and conse-
quently an enlarged demand can
be met more readily.
The prediction of 50-cent meat
and $40 shoes was accompanied
by the declaration that France
The Ronan pioneer. [volume] (Ronan, Mont.) 1910-1970, 1915-02-12

alone has taken from America
nearly 3OO,OOO horses within the
last five months and that the
other countries at war have
drawn upon our resources in the
same proportion. The facts are
that more horses were on the
farms in the United States on
January l, 1915, than there were
a year before, the increase being
233, 600 head, or IL per cent. So
far from France alone having
taken 300, 1000 horses from us, the
total exports since the war be-
gan have certainly been much
less that 100000 and very likely
not over Is, Since there are
approximately 25,000,0O0 horses
altogether in the United States,
the drain on account of the war
is scarcely alarming.
1t is, in fact, pointed out by
government statisticans that the
market value of farm horses has
actually declined to such an ex-
tent that the average is now
about Sc less than a year ago.
This decline is most noticeable in
the cotton states and in those
states which make a business of
breeding horses for sale in other
sections. Mules have declined
even more than horses, their
value being now $11.5O per head
less than a year ago. The eX-
PLANTATION is to be found in the
depression on account OF the cot
ton situation in the south, which
is the great market for mules.
An Improvement in this respect
will do much to restore the de-
mand for horses, SO that govern
ment specialists, while ridiculing
the notion of horse famine, are
convinced that farmers will find
it profitable to use good work
mares for breeding more stock.
AS for hides, the situation is
not quite so clear, but even here
there has been much gross ex-
aggeration. From two-ffths tc

FUTURE OF HORSE is SECURE.
Auto Truck and Tractor Will Not
Put Drafter Out of Business.

Notwithstanding all the talk about
motor trucks and tractors displacins
the draft horse, Prof. w. H. Pew,
head of the animal husbandry de-
partment at Iowa State college, be-
lieves that the future of the draft
horse breeder is secure. To the an
nual meeting of the Iowa Horse
Breeders association he declared
that draft horses are now selling at
better prices and that they will con-
tinue to bring profitable returns for
a good many years.
But Professor Pew suggested that
horsemen must adopt some such slo-
gan as Better Horses in Iowa. to
make their business pay, because the
market is satisfactory only for the
better animals. For drafters of the
better type he believes there will be
continuous demand, in spite of the
automobile. He pointed out instan-
ces which had come to his attention
where firms had abandoned auto
trucks and gone back to draft hor-
ses, because the latter were mole
economical and efficient. The war.
he said. would help the American
breeder, because it would make a
world shortage and create demand
for high class stock which could not
be supplied in years. The men who

CANCER-DISEASE MANY FORMS
Word Covers Number Entirely Dis.
tinct Diseases.

People commonly think of cancer
as a single definite disease, as dis
tlnct and uniform in it's nature and
symptoms as appendicitis or typhoid
fever. This is a misconception. It
is nearer the truth to regard can
cer' as the name of a group of quite
different diseases which have one
feature in common. 1t has been said
that the layman's conception of cam
Ger is of something very indefinite,
very portentous, quite hopeless, a
disease which always affects some
enc else than himself, and about
which he carries no immediate inter
est or responsibility. If this is
fair statement, the layman is wrong
on practically every count, and his
error and confusion is probably due,
in no small part, to the failure to
take account of the many forms OF
cancer. If this were done, perhaps
the patient would not so frequently
yield to despair and throw away the
excellent chance of cure that exists
when the disease is first discovered.
AS a matter of fact cancer in
the light of modern knowledge of
human ailments, is almost as gener-
al and vag 'e term as fever. The
word covers number of entirely
distinct diseases, differing widely in
their origin, symptoms, treatment
and durability. The various kinds of
tumors have little in common except
that they are all forms of new and
lawless growths of body cells.
This false notion of cancer as
single disease has probably hinder
ed progress toward the understand
ing and control of the various di-
seases which are conveniently group
ed under that term. All forms of
are aspects of new and law
less cell growth, and it is the inner
nature or cause" of such growth
that we do not yet understand.
The essential point for the man in
the street is that each different kind
of cancer is separate disease. II
he is so unlucky as to be attacked by
any one of them, it would be well
before becoming discouraged to go
and find out which form he has. If
he is taken with fever and it
happens to be German measles, his
outlook on life is quite different than
if 1t chances to be virulent smallpox
So, also, a rodent ulcer on the face
is quite different from cancer of the
stomach. And lastly while one is
more serious disease than the other,
there is always hope if it is recog-
nized and treated at once. Why not
give the surgeon the same chance
with cancer as he has with appended
tbs? Suppose all symptoms of that
disease were neglected and hidden
until the APPENDIX had burst?
Doubtless the surgeon would still
save certain percentage of cases,
but would the record be anything
like 1t is now? 1t Is the intelligent
of the patient and the
physician that has conquered
and the same weapons
are even more needed in the fight
against cancer.
