Is spoken Of as one of the many re-
mafkable Illustrations OF what seems
to- be the finger Of destiny in guiding
the United States. that the Federal
reserve system was adopted and was
actually in operation within q few
weeks after the beginning Of the
European war.
One Of the leading authorities OF
the earlier day who is now retired
from active business said this morn
ing, THE organization and operation
of the Federal reserve system are to
be well compared in their effects with
the results which followed the dis
covery of gold In California whereby
the United States for the first time
in its history secured an abundant
money metal"
whereas the enormous supply Of new
gold from American mines served to
change our fiscal and financial system
and greatly to stimulate industry and
commerce the progress was normal
and gradual: on the other hand, the
Federal reserve banking system was
established and put into operation
at the beginning Of the worlds great
est war. there being Of course no
anticipation that q war Of that kind
would come. and by means OF this
new system the United States has
passed through an era OF unparalleled,
financing and financial transactions.

SHEEP INDUSTRY NOW.
Il ON THE INCREASE

3 ihere has been gradual and log

coward more and better focks on the
4 Farms OF the Central end Eastern
States. That the farm States are
! destined to become the scat of the
great sheep industry and the farm
8fiock more important part in per-
Wanent agriculture, is the opinion of
specialists of the United States De-
of Agriculture who have
Sgeen in close touch with tho situation.
IWhllc the number and size of the
Slocks in most of the range States are
declining, there is distinct trend to-
ward the production of more wool and
mutton in the States where more in
tehslve farming is practiced, they say.
? Iaking the entire country as a
Whole, the sheep industry is on the
increase. In 1917 there was net in
grease OF 2 per cent in the United
Estates over 1916, according to re-
ports OF the Bureau of Crop Estimates
OF the United States Department of
agriculture, while the July i, 1918,
estimates show a 1877 per cent in
crease over the same date Of the pre-
a vlous year. Further proof that the
sheep industry has gathered impetus
Is shown by the record Of wool pro-
Guctlon, estimates for 1918 showing
257,921 900 pounds, as against 240,-
$4,000 pounds in 1917.
Reason for Farm Trend.
The increase in the farm States and
the decrease in the range territory is
cue partly to the fact that range lands
have increased in va1ue and the con-

New Uses for Dairy Products.

Realizing that increased knowledge
OF the value of milk as food and
ways to use it more extensively in
the diet will help to meet the war
lime food situation, the management
Of the National Dairy Show at Colum
bus requested the Department of Ag-
riculture, Bureau of Education, Food
Administration and Children's Bureau
to install an exhibit covering these
points. This exhibit, supplemcnting
t'.c work of the children's year, prov
ed TO be one popular with the crowds.
Graphic exhibits showing the value
of milk were in the booths, while
hourly demonstrations were given,
with lectures dwelling on the fact that
milk is essential to the diet. The
chcapness of milk as a food compared
with other staple foods was constant
iy impressed. One quart of milk is
equal in fuel value for the days work
or play to any one of the following
animal foods:
3-4 pound lean beef, eggs, 3
pounds fresh Goldfish, 2 pounds chicken
4-5 pound pork loin, 3-5 pound ham,
. pints oysters.

tlnued homesteading has broken up
the areas which were once in free
range. In the farm States also, the
wool tpyc of sheep has given way to
the wool and mutton varieties, which
has been the principal factor in bring
ing about an increase. The decline in
the sheep industry on the western
range should not be Interpreted to
mean that the business in that section
is going to entirely disappear, for
there is every reason to believe that
the range country will always con-
tinuc as an important sheep produc-
ing center. Large areas in western
States will not economically lend
themselves to any other grazing pur-
poses.
Sheep which yield both wool and
mutton are we'll adapted to more or
less intensive farming. Farmers are
beginning to realize that sheep of this
kind fit admirably into cystem of
mied farming, and with the meat and
wool markets becoming more stabliz-
ed there is little need to become con-
cerned with the yearly market fluc-
tuatlons of these two products. Sheep
on farms should be assured a larger
place as they can successfully share
with other stock in the economical and
profitable utilization of farm crops,
as we'll as being producers of valuable
clothing material for which there is
no complete substitute. Doubling our
wool production would not render us
Independent of wool imports but would
about meet the needs for military pur-
poses and large part of that needed
for civilian uses.
Mistake to Rush In.
One of the chief drawbacks at the
present time to more rapid develop
mcnt of the industry in the farming
States is the lack of knowledge of
good flock management. There is dan
gen in the tendency to rush into this
new line of farming, which increased
prices have brought about, where cx-
rericnce is lacking. While there is
nothing difficult about managing

THIS Is COTTONSEED MEAL

Cotton seed meal is the richest in
protein of all the common cow feeds
on the market. 1t is usually the
cheapest source of protein available,
but it does not have the best physio-
logical effect upon the COW, often
causing digestive troubles if fed in
large quantities for long periods. Al
first it is advisable to start with to
2 pounds day, gradually increasing
the quantity if no bad results are OBJ
served. In some herds in the North
as high as to 6 pounds day are
fed without bad results. In the South
there seems to be no limit in this
direction.

sheep, it must be remembered thai
sheep breeding is essentially long
term proposition and not one season
crop like wheat, corn, or oats; and
should be entered into with this well
in mind if disappointment and failure
are to be avoided
Sheep require a small amount of
high-priced grain compared with other
farm animals. They utilize and thrive
upon forage crops to great extent
and will make use of rough feeds
about the farm which other stock will
not eat. They require a small amount
of labor also, which is one reason for
The increase in the distry in the farm
ing States.
The rising prices of wool and NUT
ton since 1914 no doubt have added
further impetus to sheep raising.
Since the advance in price began be-
fore the war, it is fair to assume that
the war is not to be given all the
credit for this spirited activity and
that the irttlustry is likely to enjoy
continued fair prices for a consider
able time after the conclusion of
peace.

Cottonseed meal is highly concen-
trated feed and should if possible, be
fed in mixture with some bulky feed
ike bran. 1t can be fed to better ad-
vantage when the roughage contains
an ample quantity Of succulent feed.
While its physiological effect in the
North at least is not good as compared
with most other cow feeds, its cheap
ness and the fact that in time the
COWS seem to overcome this tendency
to digestive trouble from it are rap
IDLY giving it great prominence as a
cheap source Of protein for dairy
cows.

PLENTY OF ROOM FOR SHEEP

There is plenty of room for the en-
ransion of the sheep industry in the
Central and Eastern States, and spe-
cialists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture say that these
States can do much to help the west
Crn range sheep raisers in producing
wool and mutton. A survey of the
entire country reveals that there is
immediate opportunity for increasing
the sheep population to some extent in
the rough and idle lands of the Ap-
ralachian region, the cut-over timber
lands of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michi-
gan, and the South Atlantic and Gulf
States. There is also much to be done
III improving the carrying capacity on
many of the farms where sheep are
now being raised The unimproved
land in farms, amounting to nearly
falf of their total area, offers consid-
cradle possibilities for increasing the
number of, sheep. Much of this land
IS now used in limited way for live
stock pastures, while other areas are
wholly idle. They could be made to
furnish fair summer grazing for
sheep, and with slight Encouragement
in the cropping system, and the keep
ing of other live stock, could be made
to furnish winter feed for sheep.
