THE BOOM IN LIVE MUTTONS

Colorado lambs sold at $20 per cwt on the Chicago market and shorn lambs at $16.00. At the correspond ing time last year $12.25 took the best lambs on the market, and new records were then being made.
 The advance has been continuous since early in April and is without precedent. The country is confronted with shortage of both wool and mutton of prolonged duration. East of the Missouri river the industry has been all but wiped out in a commer- cial sense, and focks in the range country are steadily dwindling. The new lamb crop will be month late and the smallest in twenty-five years.
 High prices for 1917 lambs are cer- tain. Feeders will cost more money than ever before and packers will take stock that formerly went to feeders without competition. A band of ewes is now the biggest dividend payer on the farm, provided it is in the hands of competent man.

MUNITIONS AT THE MARKET

During the past half decade mar keting of cattle, hogs and sheep has been revolutionized. The yearling steer has acquired popularity, the bulk of the hog crop goes to the butcher at less than twelve months of age and the sheep industry has gone on a lamb basis. Buyers who went down into Texas this spring to secure cattle for replenishing Kansas pas lures found few and were compelled to take two-year-olds to stock their grass. The northwest has, for the same reason, been compelled to take yearlings instead of two-year-olds. At Chicago few fat cattle now show more than two years of age and the pro- portion of yearlings is rapidly in- creasing. Supply statistics may show gain, but it is erroneous from beef tonnage standpoint. Hogs are con- stantly being marketed at lighter weights, for economic reasons, and the bulk of the western lamb crop now goes to the butcher at ages ranging from 5 to 10 months. Five years ago aged cattle and wethers were to be found everywhree in the west, but TtSeTNeS nave pTdCIlSoiiy uSdppSaIcu and the whole trade is on hand-to- mouth basis. Contracting of unborn calves and lambs on an enormous scale has been feature of the trade this year at unprecedented prices. Could more convincing evidence of actual scarcity be desired? Even the aged brood SOW is threatened with extinction, the new practice being to keep this years gilts for next years pig crop, sending yearling sows to the stock yards as soon as possible after they have weaned one crop of pigs, a practice that is blamed by experts for diminishing pig crops. All this means less beef, pork and mutton tonnage, insuring the grower against recur- renee of such periods of excess supply and price demoralization at the mar kets as was an inseparable feature of the trade during the period of plenti- tude.

A HANDICAPPED INDUSTRY

The wool and mutton industry is
 laboring under handicaps that are not
 susceptible of elimination. East of the
 Missouri River mutton making is now
 largely a matter of fattening west
 ern-bred stock, and supply of that is
 diminishing. There is much difference
 of opinion concerning the feasibility of restoring breeding sheep to corn belt farms and Eastern hill pastures. Theoretically it is the logical sequence of current scarcity and high prices, but if anything is neglected on the farm it is the small flock of ewes. The American farmer is proverbially adverse to doing chorus, and that is what attending to the needs of a flock of ewes amounts to. The dairy COW is a serious competitor of the sheep and the ever-present canine menace deters many farmers from even considering sheep. At present the major portion of the wool and mutton produced in the United States originates west of the Missouri River, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, Ne vada and New Mexico being among the chief contributors. It might be expected that present prices would result in rapid increases in focks, but settlement of the bench lands in the mountain regions has deprived flock owners of their lambing ranges, nec- essitating liquidation on an enormous scale during period of unprecedent- edly high values. In the plains country running focks have been seriously hampered by homesteading and neces- sity for winter feeding has made re- duction of numbers imperative. Every agency has worked for repression, in- cluding market for lambs that has sent to the butcher young ewes that under normal conditions would have been retained to recuperate fiocks. Ewes have gone to prohibitive figures recently, and prices constitute serious difficulty in founding farm flocks, breeding stock being higher on the range than at the market. The future of the sheep industry is difficult to forecast. That the West will not be able to materially increase wool and

THOSE PARKWAY STEERS

A New York broker visited Pack ingtown in Chicago Monday, with an offer to sell a million cattle and half million hogs in Brazil, accessible by the Amazon river. Packers are sketical, as they have investigated several advertised sources of South American cattle supply at consider able expense and no net results.
 Expectancy of foreign supply of beef has proved too illusive to war rant consideration. Murdo McKen- zie's Brazilian cattle venture, prom ising at the outset, has not fruitioned and it is doubtful if the unexploited patrons of South America will add much beef to the commercial supply of the world during the next decade.

Texas Cattle Late This Year

San Antonio, May 23.-The cattle men who are caking steers on the grass are we'll satisfied lot and will have some fair shipments ready to go by June 1. The pasture men are inclined to the belief that they will be able to get their shipments out in good flesh before the Oklahoma run begins about July 15. The season will be later this year than usual on grass cattle on account of the late spring which has prevailed in Texas as well as Oklahoma. The country above the quarantine line in West Texas has had no rain of consequence and the wealth CT has been cold. The cattle out there will not be ready to start before fall and unless the rains start soon the beef will not be ready to move before October. Tonnage is what the pack CTS need and the bigger and fatter the cattle are the stronger will be the competition. The stocker trade is quiet for the moment, but the pasture men of South Texas will get into the market again shortly if the rains con tinue.

CALF RAISING THAT PAYS

J. A. Beck of Early, Iowa, mar keted load of 846-lb Shorthorn year. lings at $12.50 at Chicago yesterday and is prepared to make oath and tes- tify that it is one kind of beef pro- duction that pays.
 Beck is a renter, does not possess a silo and depends on grass, hay and corn in his beef making operations If there is a profit in the business un- der such conditions it would be vastly enhanced under such reduction of cost as would be possible by the use of silage.
 The Iowa mans way of doing it is worth investigation if not emulation
 Another effective method of increas- ing food supply would be the produc- ton of more rye.

Thousands of Prairie Dogs Being
 Exterminated Daily in Arizona

Carefully conducted tests have re-
 gently proved that from ten to fifteen
 thousand Prairie dogs are being killed daily at a cost of about one quarter of a cent each by the field forces en- ployed by the U. S. Biological Survey in Arizona. It is possible that the work of controlling rodent pests in Arizona may be very considerably ex- tended owing to the present interna- tional situation and the great need for increasing the production of crops and live stock. The government wish es to aid every farmer and stockmen in the state who is suffering losses from this pest and valuable assistance

mutton production during the next half decade, at least, is certain. What will develop east of the Missouri River is open to conjecture. There are millions of acres in the eastern and central states by nature adapted to sheep, and it would seem that worldwide scarcity, especially of wool, should stimulate interest in the industry. If production of wool and mutton is to expand materially it must be accomplished in that section of the country.

Boston, May 19.--Though the Bos- ton market is quieter, there is still considerable activity in South Ameri- can wools, with quarter-bloods and below moving quite freely. This is due partly to the running low of stocks of finer grades, but more par ticularly to the announcement that the government is ready to accept fabrics containing percentage of the coarser sorts. The market is in very strong position and further advances are predicted. With a large part of the earis contracts for territory wool already tranferred to manufacturers account, it seems likely that much less wool than usual will come forward to be sold in Boston. Shearing in the west has been greatly delayed by cold and wet weather, and consequently new territory wools are arriving very slowly. Not enough has yet been done to establish prices on the new clip, but it is not expected that any break will occur. Mills are getting big gov ernment orders, one having recently secured contracts aggregating $6,000,- 000.-Bradstreets

WEEKLY KANSAS CITY
 STOCK MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, May 21, 1917.-Cattle receipts were 12,000 market strong and active, following a rise of 25 to 35 cents last wek, toI sters $13.10. Hog supply was 5000, market steady to lower, top 16.40 numeruos loads $1635. Sheep and lamb receipts were 4000, market steady, fed lambs $2010, spring lambs SIS, clipped lambs SIT.
 Beef Cattle Scarce
 Three loads of pulp fed steers sold at $13.10, making new high record other pulp steers at $l2.00 to $12.90. No prime natives were here, but they are worth up to $13.25 or better. Good to choice natives sold up to $12.9O medium and plain short fed cattle downwards to $10. Fourteen loads of California steers at $10.50 to $12.7S, weighing 880 to 1070 lbs. In the quarantine division half fed steers sold at $9.50 to $11.25, weights from 870 to 1040 lbs. string of quarantine cows sold at $7.25 to $S.50, and 3 loads of Oklahoma calves brought $9.25 to $13.50. Choice heavy cows sell up to $11.25, heifers $12.25, bulls S1050, veal calves $14.00. The supply was drawn fromsa wide territory, in cluding Texas, California, Wyoming, Colorado and all the nearby states, in- dicating scarcity.
 Suckers and Feeders Slump
 The market has been rather dull for a week, with sales at the finish last week 25 cents under the best time. Prices today were barely steady, but there was a feature sale today of 300 head of Panhandle White Face heifer stock calves, 332 lbs. average, at SIP Stock steers sell at $S to 10, not many feeders going out, as killers are pay ing more than country buyers for them.
 Hogs May Drop
 The early market was steady to order buyers and traders, but packers held out for lower prices. They got a few hogs that way, but most of the hogs sold around steady, two loads al the top, $16.40, half dozen or more loads at $16.35, including some med ium weights, top on lights S16.10, bulk of sales S15.S0 to $16.35. Corn plant ing has held receipts down for week but a general rain Sunday and Mon day may release a fair run for later this week, in which event the killer! are primed for an attempt to breal prices little. However, the marke' is regarded as pretty safe, though ; run of hevay fat sows is about due and there will be some slashing o1 prices on these.
 Arizona Lambs $17.50
 Each class of lambs was represent ed today by few head, but the tota was small, and far below require ments. Best fed lambs sold at $20.10 equal to the top paid last week, Ari zona spring lambs $17.50, South Tex as spring lambs SIS, clipped fed lemb $17, the whole market right at thu best point yet reached. No Texa goats were here, but some common Oklahoma brushers sold at $9.75, goot brushers worth $11, fat goats las week at s11.

Articles mentioned in the order, said the passenger, include beans, corn, sheep and cattle.

FACTORIES MAY
 BE SHUT DOWN
CANNOT SHIP GOODS TO EUROPE
Combination of Cold Weather and Transatlantic Blockade May Re- suit in Much Unemployment in the Eastern States.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.--A combin- ation of the transatlantic blockade. and extremely cold weather and snow throughout the middle west, crippling transportation and delaying shipments is seriously affecting the manufactur- ing interests of this section. Raw ma terials are difficult to secure, and ow- ing to the blockade and the conse- quent tying up of many steamers manufactured goods cannot be ship ped. If the present conditions persist for the next few weeks it will result in the throwing of thousands of hands cut of employment and the closing Gown of many factories.

Awaiting Orders.

FL PASO, Feb. Military au- thorities here are of the opinion that the war department will have to take some steps at once to punish the Mex ican raiders who crossed the border and murdered three cowboys in New Mexico. Public opinion has been srosed to such a pitch by the repeated outrages perpetrated by the Mexicaas that if some action is not taken soor the citizens will arm themselves and visit reprisals upon the Mexicans. It is the opinion generally that Carranza has no authority in Northern Mexico, the country being in the possession of the bandits. and that it will be impos sible for him to punish the raiders. Either the War Department or a citi- zens' organization will be compelled to wage war against the bandits of Northern Mexico to prevent a continu ation of the outrages.

BRITISH COAL MINES
 NOT YET TAKEN OVER

LONDON, Feb. 16.-Since the statement in Parliament last month that the government intended to take over control of all the coal mines in the country. little has been heard of the project. It is believed, however that considerable has been accom- plished behind the scenes, and that fuller details will be forthcomint early in the spring.
 The Prime Minister has assured a delegation from the miners union that whatever may be involved n state control, it would not be det |. mental in any way to the interests of the workmen. In the coal regions 1t is understood that there will be little or no interference with the ordinary machinery by which the industry is carried on. and that state control will chiefly affect the distribution of coal after it is brought to the surface.

BORDER AFLAME
 OVER 0UTRAGES
SHAY CATTLE MEN
Band of Fifty Cowboys In Hot Pur- suit of Raiders-TroOps Ordered to SCene-Belieye German ConsulS Are Urging Bandit Raids.

COLUMBUS, N M, Feb. 16.-The entire border country is aHame over the latest outrage perpetrated by Mexican bandits and serious trouble is looked for. Mexican bandits cross ed the border into Hachta county yesterday and murdered and terribly mulitated the bodies of three Mor mon cowboys and ran off large num- Der of cattle. AS soon as the crime was discovered 50 cowboys, mounted; cn swift horses, immediately took up the pursuit of the Mexicans The mil itary officials have ordered large bod ies of troops to Hachita county. but they will not follow the cowboys, who gre hot on the trail of the murderers, unless orders to do so are received from the War Department.
 It is the general opinion here that this latest raid on American soil by the Mexicans will lead to serious trouble. The cowboys, miners and other citizens of the section are thor cughly aroused, and it is believed will organize an expeditionary force to cross the border and infiict repri- sals upon the MeXicans. In .sGme quarters doubt is expressed if the military authorities would make an. serious effort to stop such an expedi- tion. although strict orders have been given to prevent all raids of Ameci- cans on Mexican soil Nevertheless some action may be expected unless the government takes immediate steps to punish the raiders, with or without the consent of President Carranza.
