DON'T WASTE GOOD STOCK.

The general high prices of
meat, together with the reported
scarcity of hogs and cattle, should
cause the farmers Of this country
some concern for the future. True
the scarcity is not so great in this
country as in others, but ON the
other hand our export demands
are inordinarily heavy. 1t is es-
timated that since the war began
there has been a decrease in the
worlds meat producing animals
of 115,0O0,O00 head. This has
had its logical effect.
Taken all around, this country
has increased its supply of meat
producing animals; but, as we
have stated, the demand on us has
also increased many times. Ex-
ports of meat from this country
are nearly three times as large
now as during the period i'm
mediately proceeding the war.
Now it is perfectly evident that
if we are to continue to meet the
heavy demand upon our resources
we viii be compelled to conserve
the source of supply. In plain
words, we must bend eur energies
to breeding more live stock of
all kinds.
The feeding season is close at
hand, and the farmers and stock
growers have begun to sort out
the stock that is to go to the
slaughter. In this sorting, care
should be taken that all likely
females be saved With the pres
ent high prices, the temptation
viii be great to let many of them
go, but this temptation should be |
resisted. Each man should study
for the future, and do his best
to keep up the available supply. |
During the past two or three !
years many good breeding. ami
mails have been sacrificed that,
if kept would now put their
owners on easy street. All au-
thorities agree that there is abb
solutely no danger Of prices fall
ing to any extent for some years
to come, so that each grower
should plan to get the most in
crease possible out Of all his
animals.
Another ruinous practice that
should be stopped, by law if neces-
sary, is the practice of slaughter
ing very young animals, partic-
llarly calves and lambs. The
waste material is too great to be
sountenanced under present con- 4!
litiOns. IF all the calves, pigs |
and lambs in this country are al
owed to grow to maturity it will
20 a long way toward remedying l
The present great shortage.

But above all things do not
destroy the source of supply-the
females. Intelligent attention to
this detail is absolutely necessary
if our meat supply is to be kept
up to the great demand that will
continue to be made upon it for
some time to come.
