Do NOT BUTCHER TIE
YOUNG FEMALE STOCK
Poor Practice, IN Spite OF the Present
High Prices.

The prices obtainable for cattle ana
hogs at the present time offer a great
temptation to sell, even the female
stock, that is hard TO overcome. Ana
yet il we give a little thought to the
future, ones better Judgment would
certainly suggest the retention Of .
sufficient number of the younger fe-
male animals to maintain the supply
and meet tho demand for next year
at least, il not for longer
The writer is led to make this sue
gestion from information received
that great numbers Of cattle and hogs
are Deing sent out of the state, ire
speCtive of sex, due no doubt to the
profitable prices that can at present
be had for them. There is an old
saying that money counts" but how
long is il going to count" II our
stockmen dispose Of their female
foundation and afterwards And out
when too late that they have deprived
themselves OF the necessary females
to breed from and are short of stock
to sell another year when prices will
be just as high, if not higher?
II this practice IL persisted in it Is
going to result in a shortage OF meat
animals when hey may be needed
even more than at the present time.
In other words, II Ia not going to con-
serve the meat supply nor is 1t ulti-
mately going to be the most profit
able to our stock owners.
II may be all right to get rid Of q
reasonable number OF the old and un.
profitable female stuff, but there
should be a rigid line drawn at the
younger female stock II we hope to
maintain and increase the supply and
meet the future demands for meat
animals whic, seems not only the
common sense proposition, but pa
triotic and profitable one.--W. Fl.

Is THE COMMON CTR
WORTHY OF HIS KEEP?

The writer is a lover OF the dog.
However. there are dogs and dogz,
and the greatest drawback to success
full sheep husbandry in louisiana. BY
keeping the majority of our farmers
from raising sheep md wool, is the
useless and worthless dog. Therefore,
the important question at this time. is.
can we afford TO permit the worthless
dog to stand in the way Of oar in
creasing the mutton and wool supply
Of orr people. which Is. and win con-
tinue to be, so urgently needed!
Further, a lot OF useless dogs,
around country places especially, are
not only liable TO get the sheep-kilt-
ing habit, but they have to be fed, and
much OF the food they consume is In
the nature OF human diet which might
be used for that purpose In fact, e
has been estimate that the dogs Of
this country consume enough food of
this character that word feed an
army OF more than two million men.

SAVE FEED BY
USING THE SILO

The silo offers the best means Of
conserving the farm feed supply. Il
enables the farmer to save the feed
stuffs for the future use OF his farm
animals in much the same manner
that the canning machine enables the
housewife to save the vegetables and
fruits for the future use OF the fam
ny. The present and prospective high
prices and the growing demand for
farm products Of all kinds make II st
once to the profit and the duty OF
farmers to increase in every way the
dairy farmer. at least, the silo Is o.
sential to efficiency. Its advantages
are too numerous to fully erumerate
here. Suffice II to say that expert
ments have proved that silage will
greatly reduce the cost Of feed for
dairy cows and increase the milk pro-
duction II is a palatable feed, keeps
the stock In q thrifty condition, and
the young stock growing all winter.
II Is more conveniently fed than hay
or corn fodder. Silage enables one to
keep a larger number of live stock on
a given area OF land than may be
kept on forage crops cut for hay. II
furnishes succulent feed during the
summer when drouths frequently oe-
| eur II prevents the waste OF corn

would otherwise not be eaten by the

What Is Required in Making
Out Blanks for Such
Conditions.
WHAT is NECESSARY
ltemized Accounts Must be Made up
Showing Different Channels Into
Which the Money
Goes.

The income tax mans office in the
federal building on the second floor
is proving popular place these days,
many people going there for advice in
regards to their income taxes, Or to
make out their returns. J. r. Murphy,
who is in charge of the Office here has
received some inquiries about part
nerships He says that strictly speak
ing there is no income tax return re-
quired Of partnership except for the
excess profit tax, but the individuals
composing the firm must make dec
laration if the net income of each or
any one equals or exceeds the specific
exemptions, and this involves the earn
ings of the partnership.
Where regular set of double entry
books are kept very satisfactory way
is to furnish each partner with a trans
ccipt of the trading and profit and
loss account drawn up in regulation
statement form showing first the gross
sales, then the cost of the goods sold
ascertained for the taxable year by
taking the amount of the inventory at
the beginning Of the year at cost, adj
ding thereto the value of the stock in
trade purchased during the period
and subtracting from the total the
amount of the inventory at the end of
the year This will give the cost Of
the goods sold and it is exact to the
extent that the books are accurately
kept. A manufacturing partnership
will have slight variations depending
on the items which enter into the
prime cost of the goods or articles
manufactured. Where discount &C.
counts are kept, those relating to sales

Next in order the transcript should
set forth the expense accounts group
postage, advertising, ETC., the aim be-
ing to reduce the amount involving
general expenses to as small figure
as possible without going into exces-
6ive details. These accounts may ap-
pear on the transcript as charges or
credits as the case may be. In this
connection it is desirable to separate
interest account into interest received
and interest paid and taxes paid should
be separated into general and local.
the latter frequently being deductions
which are not allowable under the in
come tax laws.
Having proceeded this far it remains
but to balance up the statement by
bringing down the net profits which
should agree to the cent with showing
of the ledger account.
Room should be left at the bottom
of the statement for deductions which
are not allowable and the transcript
submitted as part Of the income tax
return of each partner. Such a state
.ment, if written with typewriter. on
thin paper, with the firm name and
address as a heading, can be securely
attached to the return and forms a

there was no shortage in Oil produc-
ton, and, given proper transportation
facilities no one would be without
fuel oil sufficient for his normal needs.
Diversion Of tank ships to trans
Atlantic uses and rail congestion have
created an artificial shortage of oil at
Atlantic ports and oil centers. Until
these conditions can be remedied, es-
sential industries must wait until the
preferred industries have been sery-
ed.
No plans for increasing production
in crude oil are contemplated by the
fuel administration now. TWO hum
dred oil firms are expected to come
under the licensing provisions, which
will include only firms whose gross
sales of fuel and gas oils are 100000
barrels or more annually. Fuel Ad-
ministrator Garfield has issued spe-
cial order exempting petroleum and us
products from the Monday closing ana
priority orders issued January IL.
Oil men welcome the licensing
scheme as a relief from their troubles.

Wadsworth traced the history Of the
governments interference with the
coal business to show that its efforts
in that direction had been "disas-
trous" He said the whole coal trade
was thrown into confusion when the
Peabody-Lane price agreement of last
June was repudiated by Secretaries
| Baker and Daniels.
| NO operator could tell what the
government intended to do with him, -
he said thousands OF consumers of
coal made up their minds after that
1 that they were going to get coal cheap
er and postponed buying their winter
supply.
| This condition Of uncertainty ex-
! listed for weeks, seriously affecting the
production of coal. Finally the gov
eminent fixed the price of coal at 81
ton and many mines closed.
by that time the autumn season had
iovertaken us. Thousands Of individ-
uals and business concerns had post
poned putting In their winter supply
OF coal.
Coal production decreased and
when winter actually overlook us the
prices fixed by the fuel admins tration
We're MADE more uDeral and deSper-
ate effort was made to mine and trans
port the coal to points where needed.
And, of course, the effort failed.
"As the result Of this lack of plan
ming, which should have been done in
July and AUGUST, We have great COM
munities in the east and north starving
for coal and we have an order closing
