Something About Gasolinc

Gasoline has become one of the
necessities OF life" Therefore, Con-
Gress Is right in going into the in
NcstigatioA. Last year government
experts reported that the supply could
not keep up with the demand; hence
the rise in price This was thought
TO be faTcical report. so Congress
has nov gone at 1t. Let us hope
some good will result from 1t. Much
evil came out of last years investi-
cation: /. gave the producers a good
excuse for jumping the price--and
II keeps on the jump. Congress can
do one thing. ANYHOW: IL can put an
embargo on the export OF gasoline
not allow II to he shipped abroad.
Some years ago an investigation of
the oil output. carried on in Texas.

kei osene was produced. put upon the

Though labor and cost OF living IL
higher, It should not today cost more
to produce gasoline than it did ten
years ago. Improved methods and

II looks as II the trust were taking

HOG CHOLERA SEEMS

Stock Kept in Better Condition by
Increasing Hay Feeding
Practice
HEALTH CONDITIONS BETTER
Live Stock Losses From Disease and
Exposure Smaller Than In Years
According 10 Government Figures.

Losses of live stock from disease
and exposure during the last year
were moderately smaller THAI the
tcn-year average of such losses, and
the condition as to health and flesh
of animals on April | was slightly
better than average, according to es-
Inmates based upon reports of agents
and reporters OF the Bureau of Crop
Estimates. United States Department
of Agriculture, just received at Wash
ingtou.
The epidemic Of hog cholera seems
to be on the Wane: for the total losses
of hogs from disease last year is
estimated at &c per cent OF the to-
tai supply, as compared with about
10 per cent year ago. ll.9 per cent
two years ago: 40 per cent three
years ago. 50 per cent four years
ago; 40 per cent FIVE years ago. and
40 per cent six years ago. The de-
velopment and decline OF the cpidem-
fc may be observed from these fg-
ures, During the past year losses
still amounted to or exceeded 10 pen
cent of the supply in Ohio, Indiana,
Arkansas and Florida
One important reason for smaller
losses in live stock from exposure il
the increasing practice on the ranges
of feeding hay generally alfalfa. to
the sheep and cattle. when the. win
ter is severe and grazing difficult
Stock is thus kept in better condi-
tion, and losses from exposure be
come less.
Other Stock Losses Lower.
For the entire United States the
losses of horses and mules from dis
ease during the past year are esti-
mated as 1.75 per cent compared
with ten-year average of 1875 per
cent Of the supply: losses of cattle
from disease, l,g6 per cent, compared
