IF THERE'S A BLIZZARD NEW
YORK MAY STARVE

New York, Nov. 26.-Land and wa
ter transportation routes leading
into New York are facing greatest
freight congestion in their history.
Situation is so serious that if New
York should be visited with even so
brief blizzard as the one of the late
winter of 1914 the city would come
nearer to food famine than it ever
has before.
, An avalanche of freight for export
is pouring into New York's terminals
and piers. Consequently the supply
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-11-26

of staple foodstuffs for local Gus
toners is at a low point.
The chief cause of this condition of
affair is enormous growth of export
trade of the q. S., on which has been
piled up growing domestic business
that gives promise of outdoing all
records.
At the present there is five times
as much freight ready for export in
port of New York as waiting ships
can take. In and around the city
there are $4,000 freight cars stand
ing, which is twice as many as the
amount of freight car shortage re-
ported from the Fest of the country.

Another joker in the Acts of 1915 is
worrying officeholders who are candi-
dates for office. 1t follows:
1T shall be unlawful for any public
DfYicer. deputy or assistant, to devote
any time or labor during usual office
1sonrs toward the campaign of any
other candidate for office or for the
nanaination to any office.
ANY person who shall be guilty OF
violating the provisions of this act
ashay be fined in a sum not less than
$50 nor more than $500, and each day
the same shall be violated shall consti-
tate a separate offense." (Sections 2
and 3 of Act PIG of the Acts of 1850
The law makes it unlawful for any
soiIiceholder who is a candidate for any
ssice to use any room furnished at
public expense to be used for political
headquarters or to send out letters or
campaign literature from the Office.
Many circuit and chancery judges,
state senators and other officials who
ml6ht wish to be candidates for re-
election when their present terms OK
Yiro before November, 1918, still are
puzzled whether it will be necessary
for them to be candidates for renomi-
nation in the coming primary in order
TO run two years from now under the
consolidation of elections law passed
by the last Legislature. Associate JUS
tacs w. F. Kirby, who will be affected
by the law, said he has not decided
whether to run for reelection in the
coming campaign. Several circuit and
chancery judges have announced they
will be candidates in the next primary
for the nomination to succeed them
selves

HANDY BAG HOLDER
SAVES MUCH time
Light Materials May Be Used in
Construction of Device for
Granary or Barn.

Every farmer should have some kind
Of a bag holder, so that grain, chop or
bran can be sacked without requiring
the services of second person. A
square or round hopper. stationary in
some corner OF the granary or mov-
able one supported by three spreading
legs is easy to make and handy to use.
Light material may be employed in
making such holder.
The height of the hopper from the
floor is regulated by the length of the
bags used. as the bottom of the bag
should not rest on the ground while
being filled.
Dull hooks or nails OF such length
and position as judgment dictates will
hold the bag while it is being filled
Such conveniences as these are simple
but they save not only time but much
needed energy.

Except when snow was on the ground
they preferred being out in the hills
and brush foraging in the winter to
housing and feed in the barn.
This spring we had six lambs from
the eight ewes. All the sheep and
lambs are fat and in fine condition and
excellent health. We sheared and
shipped the wool last week, securing
% cents pound for 1t from st.
Louis commission Arm. The clip from
the nine sheep gave q net return, aft
er expressage and commission were
deducted, OF $21.S5, or little over
$2.42 each sheep, for wool only.
This was about SO per cent of what
the sheep cost US last August when
they were purchased. Counting tho
lambs worth IS each by August, the
total income from the flock will
amount to $51.S5. Deducting $5.S6
for feed. the flock will have netted
us SAC in one year. or even 100 per
cent net on the original investment.
which is from two to ten time &
much net profit as we make wi
other of our farm animals.

age. They are so good in so many
ways that we are preparing to in
crease our flock to so ewes on the 100
acre farm.
OF course, sheep and wool are extra
high in price right now. but indica-
tions point to continued high prices.
Those having hilly and rocky land can
turn it into rich income property by
fencing it and pasturing with sheep.
Money from the animals comes In at
least twice each year-when wool and
lambs are sold. Old sheep are high
priced. and lambs are the highest they
have been in many years, and prices
for both old and young sheep have
continued high without material
change for many months. Where tho
farmer has any spare land not suited
to cultivation. sheep raising offers
golden opportunities at present, and
perhaps will be equally or more profit
able for years to come.

CBy H. H. SHEPARD. Missouri)
We live on a billy, brushy farm in
the Ozark region Of Missouri. For
several years we have been clearing
up and fencing our farm. but we have
had terrible time fighting brush and
sprouts on the newly cleared land.
Some cattle, hogs and horses have
been an aid in eating and killing the
sprouts in the permanent pastures,
which have been fenced with high and
tight-woven wire.
One of our neighbors has been keep.
ing sheep for several years, and has
had splendid success with them. Last
year he had some eve lambs for sale
and we purchased eight OF them, and
a buck from another farmer to mate

with them. For the eight lambs we
total cost of SAC for the little flock.
Since we had the pastures already
fenced with woven wire for hogs. cat
tie and horses, there was no extra ex-
pense in providing pasture for the
sheep.
In our brushy and sprouty pastures
the small flock of sheep ate and grew
spendidly, refusing feed in the lot or
barn till the middle of January this
year. They made practically all their
living on the waste of the farm and
pastures, and the actual cost of feed
ing them outside of what they secured
outside was not more than FIVE dollars.
