HOW LONG WILL LAST?
Note Of warning sounded Regarding
Present Live Stock Prices,

Note of warning sounded Regarding
Present Live Stock Prices.
In the hey-day Of prosperity in the
live stock trade. with prices for fat
beeves and muttons averaging highest
in history, and hog values close upon
record levels, 1t would be we'll for the
producer to reflect what has brought
this situation about and likewise to
give consideration to the matter OF Its
continuance.
Fat beeves at $10.25@10.75 per cwt.
and an average prices for steers con-
sijerably above $3.50, hogs at $40 NUT
tons at $3.50 and lambs at $1200@12.9O
are abnormally high.
Can the markets be maintained for
/ long period on this uasls: DO the basic
| conditions justify them?
Everybody Is working. There Is the
reason for consumers ability to pay
the prices now charged for meats over
the butchers block. Dozens Of indus
tries In the east are employing some
millions Of men at wages far above
normal.
In some instances skilled-artisans are
drawing SIS to $50 for days work.
In many factories where wages were
fixed in normal times at So to s. a day
men are drawing double and treble
these amounts for work now per-
formed.
The midwestern territory reflects no
such abnormal wage earning situation.
War orders are less plentiful here, yet
the public is buying meats freely be-
cause the where withal Is at hand
There Is an enormous European de-
mand for meats and the prices they
bring In that market are alone regu-
lated by the sellers. Europe must have
meat at any price.
This outlet affords sale Of big por
ton of the carcass Of an animal at
prices far and above those In normal
times.
Here, then, is the demand condition
that makes the record high prices. and
the supply situation as we'll is q big
factor working In that direction.
Seven chief markets of the middle
west have received ASH 900 cattle. H.
10000 hogs and 1885, 900 sheep for
1916 to date, an increase Of 254 900 cat
tie and 1.S33,0G0 hogs, while sheep de-
creased 10000. Eleven markets. in
GLIDING chief eastern points, have re-
ceived 13,13S,0OO hogs, an increase Of
l, 1853, 900 over a year ago.
The increase in cattle and hog sup
plies. however. has been quite handily
Offset by the Increase in demand for
beef and pork. That demand is clear
ly the result Of the affluent position of
the consumer.
A part of this affluence is due to
swollen earnings, which can not be
stabilized. Let the east slow down in
its manufacturing. great part of
which is due to war orders and the alb
normal purchasing power Of large
portion OF the eastern population will
suddenly end.
This should be borne in mind by live
stock producers. Their products can
be elevated and lowered in price by, the
fundamental principle Of supply and
/ demand. At present the demand Is alb
normal for the reason that consumers.
or. at least a. sufficient number Of them
to have influence on the prices, hap
n"n to have much more money than In
normal times A normal situation Ii
the industrial field could not long sus-
tain prices for live stock which now
prevail.--Drovers' Journal.

LAMBS NEED DIPPING, TOO.

DAYS After Shsarino,


Days After Shsarina.
Next thing on the sheep program Is
dipping, says the animal husbandry
department at Iowa State College.
Ticks and lice on the farm flock cause
expensive loss Of wool and condition.
Dipping will eliminate this. 1t should
be done a few days after shearing.
Since the ticks and lice move to the
lambs after the flock is sheared, to get
protection in the long wool, 1t Is very
necessary that the lambs be dipped.
Do the work on the morning OF a
bright warm day, so the sheep will
dry before night. Use any of 4. I'll
