SHOWS GAIN IN BEEF,
CATTLE, HORSES AND SWINE

Washington, Feb. 1O.-For the first
time In many years information col
lected by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture shows that all
classes of livestock in the United
States are increasing in numbers.
Thus the real facts contradict abso-
lptely sensational reports that prices
for meat and shoes would rise to un-
precedented figures in the immedi-
ate future. 1t has even been said
that a government statistician pre-
dicted meat at 30 cents a pound and
shoes at $40 pair within the next
two years. Such a prediction. the
real government statisticians say, is
quite unwarranted.
On January l, for example, the num-
Der of beef cattle showed an increase
OF 3.4 per cent over the number
year ago, and an actual increase of
l,212,000 head. Hitherto the number
of beef cattle in the United States
has declined steadily since 1910.
There are also more milch cows in
the country than last year, the in
crease being 2.5 per cent, or in num-
bers, $4,000.
Swine, however, showed the great
est increase of all classes-9.6 per
cent. On January 1, 1915, there were
only 58,933,000 swine in the country;
On January 1, 64,61S,0O0. This is ac-
counted for by the fact that the pro-
duction Of swine can be increased more
rapidly than that of other classes of
livestock and consequently an en-
larged demand can be met more read
lily.
The prediction of 50-cent meat and
$40 shoes was accompanied by the
declaration that France alone has
taken from America nearly 300 900
horses within the last five months,
and that the other countries at war
have drawn on our resources in the
same proportion. The facts are that
more horses were on the farms of
the United States on January l, 1915,
than there were a year before, the
increase being 233,O0O head, or IL
per cent. So far from France alone
having taken 100000 horses from us,
the total exports since the war be-
gan have certainly been much less
tthan 100000, and very likely not
more than $4,000 Since there are
approximately 25,000,OOO horses alto
Igether in the United States, the drain
ON account of the war is scarcely
alarming.

Cost of Cultivation.

Among the most important OF all
the benefits Of thorough preparation
we believe is the saving of expense in
later cultivation. We do not over
look the benefit of preparation in OBJ
tanning a good stand, nor any of the
other results of tillage; but the use
of those implements which are most
efficient and economical in the early
cultivation of the crop is so depend
ent on thorough preparation that we
regard this one benefit alone which
results from good preparation suni-
cicnt to justify any one in giving ex-
are planted.
1T is a we'll known fact that the
most expensive implement used for
cultivating corn, cotton and other
row crops in the South is the hoe.
Until we reduce the hocing to the
lowest possible amount we cannot
produce such crops most economical
ly. That the abundance of labor in
the past has fixed on our practice a
too extensive use Of the hoe cannot
be denied. Even our best farmers
are frequently victims of this expcn-
sive habit and there are few among
us who give as much thought to cut
ting out this expensive method of
rultivating crop as we should.
