GOOD RAM ALWAYS CHEAPEST
Scrub Animal Is Particularly Expen.
sive at Present High Prices OF
Wool and Lambs.

A scrub ram is expensive at any time
but doubly so at the present high price
of wool and lambs. A good ram has
many times proved to be more than
"half the flock" Many successful and
progressive sheep breeders trace their
start on the road to success to the pur-
chase of good ram. Sometimes the
price of the ram has looked high, but
time proved it to be the cheapest and
by far the best investment ever made.
At the University of Missouri college
of agriculture a good mutton ram, such
as any farmer could purchase at S3O
TO $40 this season, bred to western
(Colorado) ewes, sired lambs that aV-
eraged two and half pounds more at
three months of age, when they were
marketed, than lambs, out of the same
class of ewes, Which were sired by an
inferior or scrub ram. Furthermore
lambs sired by the superior ram sold
for GO per cent more per 100 pounds
than by the inferior ram.

and New Jersey. There the congestion
of railway traffic makes the highways
of great value in delivering manufac-
tured materials from one city to an
other; the motor truck has suddenly
become real necessity in meeting the
urgent requirements for transporting
the products of the cities. In short,
the rational Improvement Of roads is
an essential element Of the grave eco
nomic problems of the day, to make the
valuable products of the farm and shop
available to the user at the lowest pos
Sible cost.
This subject should be studied al
.once as an economic problem, the same
as the provision of railway and water
way transportation, the increase in cul.
tivated acreage and the improvement
of manufacturing facilities.
Crops that cannot be moved from
the farms except at enormous expense
and manufactured products that must
lie in storehouses because of congestion
of railways are Of little value to na-
ton which needs such things now.

CORRECT RATloNs FOR PIGS
Animals on Pasture Will Gain Rapidly
If Given Additional Allowance
of Grain Feed.

Pigs, granted on pasture, will gain
q pound or more day from weaving
to weight of 200 to go pounds, while
those getting little or no grain Will
gain but one-half to three-quarters OF
q pound per day. This will bring
spring pigs to q marketable weight in
early fall, at the period of high prices,
whereas those being pastured only are
not ready for market until month or
two later. A grain ration, by bring
ing the hogs to an earlier market, re-
duces the time of feeding, the risk, and
the interest on the investment. The
animals are in higher condition, with
q finer and more palatable meat and
fat.
Farmers substituting pasture entire
ly for grain and other concentrated
feeds to their market hogs through the
summer will find that before market
ing in the fall it will be advisable to
feed grain to harden the soft fat and
meat and put on additional weight.
Light but steady grain feeding on
pasture, however, gives better results
than q heavier feeding during short
er finishing period.

made potash, however, is just as val
liable as the potash salts that were
formerly obtained from Germany.
Acid phosphate is scarce, due to the
fact that there is a shortage of sui
phuric acid-a necessary compound in
the manufacture of acid phosphate.
Sulphuric acid is scarce, because py-
rites, from which most Of it is made,
has been coming from Spain and ships
are not now available with which to
transport it.
The fertilizer manufacturers have
been compelled to turn to the domes-
tic pyrites, and readjust their manufac-
turing plants to the production Of sui
phuric acid from birthstone obtained
from Louisiana and Texas. The gov
ernment is requiring Of the fertilizer
manufacturers sulphuric acid in large
amounts to be used in the manufacture
Of explosives.
Then, too, there is considerable diff
iculty in obtaining supplies Of rock
phosphate, because Of the transporta-
ton shortage.
The supply Of nitrates has also been
phate Of ammonia are being taken for
refrigeration purposes, and the manu-
facture Of munitions. Cotton seed
meal, valuable source of nitrogen, is
being used more and more for feeding
live stock. Tankage, another splendid
source of nitrogen, is also being used
for the sam purpose; consequently cot
ton seed meal and tankage are high in
price.
Nitrate of soda is more expensive at
the Chile mines, and shipping rates
have increased enormously, and NUM-
ton requirements are heavy.
The fertilizer manufacturers find 1t
hard to secure bags for shipping, since
there is a tremendous shortage OF bur-
lap.
Thus it can be easily seen that 1t will
be very difficult to obtain necessary
fertilizer materials, and the farmer
must take due notice and act accord
ingly If he would make sure OF getting
his plant food.
Order At Once
The farmer must not overlook the
fact that transportation difficulties are
increasing daily. The railroads are lit
erallv Overwhelmed. They have, there
fore, been compelled to rule that fer
tilizers and freight in general must
move in full car load lots, which means
cars must be loaded to their maximum
capacity
Therefore, Mr.. Farmer, order your
fertilizers NOW; order PLENTY OF
them; use them literally and judicious-
", and thus secure maximum yields OF
crops, and so do your part to supply
the crying needs Of the world, while
at the same time you increase your
bank account.

J. N. HARPER show his patriot
ism, but an opportunity to acquire
wealth at the same time.
oHsettng Labor Shortage
In view of the fact that farm labor
Is scarce and high, every effort should
be bent towards securing maximum
yields per acre, with fertilizer, which
is one of the best ways to conserve
man power.
Unfortunately, no industry has been
more directly affected by the war than
the fertilizer industry. The govern.
ment is communicating materials i'm
.portant to this industry for the pur-
pose Of manufacturing munitions of
war and hence has greatly reduced the
possible tonnage to be used in fer
tilizers. In other words, while the
nation Is calling for the largest pos
sible crop yields, there IS, at the same
time, great demand for gun powder.
Some one has aptly said, plants and
canrons eat the same food" OF course,
under present conditions, the cannons
must be fed first.
There IS considerable shortage Of
fertilizer ingredients, ana the prices
OF these ingredients are corresponding
ly high.
Fertilizers Relatively Cheaper
In consequence Of high prices Of ma
terials, due to their scarcity, and be-
cause Of higher labor and transporta-
ton costs, fertilizers will be higher
this spring than ever before.
While the prices Of fertilizers have
advanced, fortunately for the farmer,
the prices of crops have advanced still!
higher, so that fertilizers are relative
" cheaper than before the war. A
bale Of cotton with its seed will buy
more fertilizer today than ever before.
The same is true Of bushel of corn;
bushel Of wheat; bushel Of pea
nuts; bushel of potatoes, etc.
Why Fertilizers Are Scarce
The causes of the shortage of fertil.
izer materials may be summarized as
follows:
Previous to the war, most OF our
potash came from Germany. The pot.
ash now on the market is produced
largely in this country, but it is far
short Of the demands. This American

OF THE SECOND
REVIVAL, or pTGTTVCT

Today is the 18th anniversary of the
establishment OF the British PuEilis-
tic association. and an important
landmark in the history OF the box
ing game. Tt was this association
which was responsible for the second
revival Of pugilism and the adoption
Of the London prize ring rules. From
the beginning or modern boxing.
about two centuries ago. until 1910.
there were practically no rules and
MATCHES were slaushter house affairs
in which brute strength and endur-
ance always triumphed. This natUr-
but in 1910 Jack Broughton came
along and formulated a code OF rules
that served its purpose for 4 century.
No man was permitted TO hit his op-
ponent when down, or below the
waist, and a man on his knees was
reckOned down. A round ended only
with a fall, and the contest was de-
cided when one Of the men was IN
able TO proceed within 20 seconds
after a fail. Regulated BY these
rules and others which were gradual
" added, the boxing game GOurished
and y as much patrOniZed by the arts
tocracy and even the royalty Of Eng
land, until about 1880. Then the
friends OF the game saw that further
suit was the British Pugilistlc asso-
citation, formed Jan 9. 1880. at meet
ing in London Under the London
prize ring rules the game again
flourished for a time and became as
popular in America as in Europe. In
the SOS opposition TO the manly
art" again developed Magistrates
