DECREASE IN OUTPUT
OF SAND-LIME BRICK
European War Interferes With Building
Activities and Checks Production
in 1914,

The condition Of the sand limo bricl
industry in the United States in 1914
according to figures gathered by TIN
United States Geological Survey was, OF
the whole, not entirely satisfactory tt
the manufacturers, though in some
states, notably in Florida and Indiana
considerable progress was made. The
year opened with good prospects for d
prosperous season, and many operators
reported that these prospects were in a
fair way to be realized when conditions
arising from the European war put a
cheek to building activities, and from
that time forward business was reported
poor
| In 1914 the value of the output was
! 81 ,05s,5l2, a decrease i'll value of $l79,Sl3
compared with 1913 Nine Of the %
| states reporting marketed product in
| 1914 showed increase and IA showed de-
crease in output. These increases and
decreases were confined to no one Sec
ton OF the country, az Florida, Indiana,
South Dakota and Wisconsin showed the
principal increases, and California, the
District of Columbia. Massachusetts,.
Michigan, New York. Pennsylvania, Tex
as, and Washington the largest decreases
Michigan continues to be the leading
state. the value of its product constitut.
ing more than "a per cent. Of the to-
tai value of all sand lime brick in 1914.
and more than 20 per cent. of the total
in 1913. Minnesota was second in 1914,
reporting ll27 per cent. of the total
value, and displaced New York, which
was third, with 1917 per cent. OF the
total value.
The average price per 1000 for COM
mon sandl lime brick was $500 in 1914,
compared with S6.27 in 1913, $6.46 in
1912, and $500 in 1911. For front brick
the average was S9.0s in 1914 and $l0.6l
in 1913.
The sand lime brick industry has been
established in the United States since
1901, when the first plant was started at
Michigan City Ind, Since that time it
has passed through the various stages
of new industry. In the beginning it
suffered severely from the boomer"
whose giittering promises to make brick |
for few dollars thousand that would !
sell in competition with high -grade clay
face brick caused plants to be established
for the manufacture OF sandlime brick |
without regard to market, Transports
ton facilities, or even supply of suit
able material. Some plants constructed
under these conditions never even at
tempted to market their product. Then
anne the natural reaction when the mum
Der of the plants and the value of the
product decreased even more rapidly than
commercial conditions would have seemed
o warrant Since that stage, within
he last few years. the industry appears
o have become firmly established and is
low showing a reasonable growth.

MEAT PRODUCTION
ON NATIONAL FORESTS
Secretary of Agriculture Allots Range
for Nearly 100000 Cattle and
100000 Sheep.

4 Washington. ID. c. April H. Receipts
from grazing permits on the national
forests for the season of 1919 viii con-
tribute 10 the public revenues approNi-
matcly 81 100000. or about S2uoOO0 more
than last year, according TO an estimate
made from the allowances Just author
lied by the secretary OF agriculture. The
forests this year will furnish forage for
/ l,as3,775 cattle and horses, S.747 OPS sheep
and goats, and $4,000 swine, the figures
indicating a material increase OF meat
production on the government regulated
ranges.
The increase OF 92656 cattle and horses
over the allowances for 1914 is accom-
panied by a decrease OF l20.ssl sheep
and goats, showing that in many parts
of the West sheep are giving way TO
cattle. IL is thought that the recent high
price OF beef has been encouraging many
farmers and former sheepmcn 10 20 into
the cattle business, though IL viii be the
first time in the last five years that the
allowance OF sheep has not increased over
that OF the previous season. There are
localities. however. where the demand for
sheep range is far in excess OF the sup
ply.
The grazing charges are slightly high
or this wear. IN the West the rates
have been fixed al a. 10 90 cents per head

times with but little success, although
it compares very favorably with some
substitutes now used quite extensively.

THE PASTURE QUESTION AGAIN
Making a Little Go Long Way.

Once more the owner of small plac
is confronted with the problem of pro
vidng pasturage for the family COW
But with careful management, plot 2O'
xl00 feet will often save the situation
especially where lawn clippings and odd
and ends from the garden, such as pea
vines, beet tops, and cornstalks, etc, arr
to be had. The plot should be literally
MANFRED, ploughed, and disked, or har
rowed both ways, then lK bushels OF
Canadian field peas should be broadcast
narrowing them in well, and finally two
bushels of seed oats should be broadcast
covering them with a smoothing harrow
As soon as the oats are headed and the
| peas in blossom, cutting may begin. go
ing the long way of the piece and making
swath about six feet wide. Each day
only what the COW will eat clean in two
meals. one in the morning and one at
night, should be cut. The noon feed
may be dried hay, fed to give the manure
! proper consistency and adding much TO
the convenience of caring for the COW.
How and What to Plant.
All green fodder and hay should be cut
in quarter.inch lengths, as well as the
bedding. When a siN.foot strip has been
cut. give the bare piece light coat of
manure and harrow it in well, then drill
in two rows OF sweet corn, using the
early, mid. season. or late variety a. the
season requires. The rows should be pa
feet apart. and the planting and cultivst-
ing done with a handwheel seeder and

The advantages Of soiling amply repay
