FEED ANIMALS AND EXPORT
MEAT.

Over in England the government
authorities are advising reduction in
the number of food animals, so that
the foods now imported and fed to
cattle may be available for human
food, thus economizing in the ship
space necessary for food importations.
To import food for live stock and
consume meat produced at home re.
quires far more transportation space
than to import the meat produced In
other countries. The rule ought to
work the other way around in this
country. Because of the lack of ship
space we should find it most profitable
to feed our grains to animals and ex-
port the meat to the allies. But many
farmers are having a hard tussel with
the problem of getting more out of
the meat than they expend for feed.
II the predicted cheaper feed shall be
realized, the problem will be easier OF

AIR ATTACKS HERE EXPECTED

Ihe president OF Hobart college, just

raids upon our Atlantic coast cities be-
fore winter is over. The thing is pos
sible. The flight recently made by the
giant Caproni triplane, the masterpiece
of Italian aviatorial craftsmanship,
from Norfolk, Va, to New York City
in about three hours flying shows the
possibilities of development in aerial
navigation. The Italians already have
airships which will fly at the sustain
ed speed of eighty miles an hour and
which will carry more than four tons
of useful load. Such plane might
make the flight from Germany to New
York and back again. The United
States alone is deficient in its store
of aircraft-yet it was an American
who invented the aeroplane which
would really fly, just as it was an
American who invented the submarine
which could submerge with more than
N even chance of coming to the eur.

AN ERA OF PROSPERITY.

At the close of the world war, now
in progress in Europe, the live stock
business of the United States will face
it's greatest era of prosperity. The
reason for this is evident, for before
agricultural activities can be renewed
on the devastated farms of war-ridden
Europe, those farms must be restocked
with horses and all kinds of breeding
stock which the ravages of the war
have so materially reduced in number
Where will Europe go to supply this
demand for horses, cattle, swine and
sheep? Who can supply these units
no necessary for profitable agricul.
ture? -
America. and America only. And
to meet this unprecedented demand
for breeding stock, it behooves the
American live stock farmer to begin
at once his preparations to have his
stock in shape to stand inspection OF
foreign buyers who will scour this
country when Europe lays aside the
sword to take hold of the plow handles
once more. ~.
During the first week of December
there will be held at Chicago, Ill.,, the
largest exhibition of horses, cattle
swine and sheep in this country, and
possibly the largest in the whole
world. 1t is the International Live
Stock Exposition, where more than
$500 pure bred and fat animals, fore,
most representatives of all the we'll
known breeds of horses, cattle, swine
and sheep will be viewed by the judg.
es in competition for a fortune in
prizes.
Even if you are not breeder OF
live stock, the International Is well
worth visiting. 1t affords an Opportun,
