left, and unless all signs fail we shall
be occupying that place by the time
spring opens. Then, again, with the
acquisition of Russia, Germany will
probably acquire more of a liability
than an asset. That country will be
in the throes of civil war for years to
come, and will not cease to be men
ace to the Germans. Armies must be
maintained to watch her closely, or
even to interfere in her internal trou-
bles. Viewed in the light Of common
sense, it would appear that the al
lies have lost a treacherous ally and
gained one of proven loyalty. It I'M
doubtedly will require a greater effort
and longer time to gain victory than
would have been the case had Russia
remained true, but we will win. This
country is soul and body in to win, and
she has yet to taste defeat.

have been practically exhausted ant
the lighter animals are being pushed
onto the market.
AT meeting Of food administrator.
of number of states recently it wa.
the unanimous decision, after survey.
ing the situation carefully, that a con-
certed effort must be made to increase
the breeding of hogs and cattle, and
each state represented in the confer
ence was given its per cent of increase
to be attained.
But it is right at this point that the
difficulty is encountered. The high
prices have not only caused the i'm
mature animals to be sacrificed but
thousands Of valuable females have
also been slaughtered which should
have been kept on the farms. There
is not a particle of doubt that the
country is alarmingly short of breed
ers.
There is but one remedy. No own
er of hogs or cattle should sell or kill
females capable of reproducing their
kind. This should be made an iron
clad rule on the farms and ranches of
this country for sometime to come.
Certain it is that if the past, or even
the present rate of consumption of
females is continued for another twelve
months, the country will face some
thing little short of a meat famine.
We are a meat eating race. But
meat must be grown, and the animals
must have dams. The only way 30 in
sure the supply is to conserve the fe-
males. This will have to be done, even
at the risk of even higher prices than
now prevail.
And as prices now range, this will |
be no sacrifice to the farmers, but ra-
Their source of greater revenue, as
all will see if they will look at the
matter in the right light.

SCARCITY OF LIVE STOCK.

For some time now it has been ap
parent to those who have given the
matter thought, that the country is
threatened with an alarming shortage
in live subsequently, meat produc,
ing animals, though horses and mules
are also showing shortage.
When the war in Europe first began
it was suggested by our agricultural
department that our farmers and stock
raisers devote greater attention to
increasing the number of meat ami
mails. 1t was pointed out that the
large foreign demand would make
great inroads in our supply. This
was the result, but not all the result.
The stimulated demand caused prices
to soar to abnormal figures. These
prices in turn caused all who had
stock to push them on the market at
the earliest moment, with the result
that thousands Of head of stock went
to the butchers when it should have
been kept on the farms.
Stock buyers inform US that for the
past years the average weight Of
hogs especially has steadily declined,
due to the fact that the heavy feeders
