fact for the United States. The re-
porters of the Bureau Of Crop Esti-

a loss from disease amounting to
only 1.57 per cent in the preceding
year. the ten year average being 1.91

pared with 1913 per cent; swine. the
low rate OF Ala per cent. compared
with 6.68 err cent: sheep, 1877 per
cent. compared with 2.39 per cent;
and lambs. the low rate Of 4.s3 per
cent for losses from disease and ex-
posture, compared with the eight-year
average OF SIS per cent.
| On account OF exposure, the cat
tie losses Of the preceding year. 1.5S
per cent. are above the ten year av-
erage of 1.43 per cent; but the sheep
losses of ash per cent were below

In number of animals. the farm
horses lost from disease during the
last year we're over 5000; cattle,
from disease and exposure, nearly

pigs also are being raised in the

make their meat in the fall.

.sTANDARDIzING THE LIVE
STOCK BREEDS

The farm bureau OF Grafton coun-
ty, N, H.. is demonstrating how such
an organization can help develop
community enterprises. The COM
munity chairman in Oxford found
that fifteen farmers in his immediate
vicinity owned pure bred Berkshire
hogs, He felt this was good foun-
dalton for standardizing the swine
OF the community, and asked the
county agent for assistance in
Strengthening and extending interest
In one breed. He arranged a meet
ing at which the county agent set
forth the advantages of communities
specializing in one breed. AS re-
suit the farmers formed breeding
association and voted to hold 50
OF registered stock each year. Many
examples show the value of a COM
munity breeding certain line of
stock rather than each member of
the community proceeding along his
own individual line. says the United
States Department Of Agriculture.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

Business men generally regard
signing of the peace treaty as the
most significant event since the
armistice.
This last act in the long process
OF Temouiding Europe will insure
q stability and confidence that could
not otherwise exist The business
community at home and abroad has
patiently awaited imposition OF
terms and the settlement OF Europe
an political differences. Heavy boil
shevist losses confirm the new Sc
curity obtained through peace.
Immediate effects Of the signing
have been largely discounted by the
stock and grain markets and by in
dustry at large. Further enCOur-
agement may be expected from pos
sibilities which because Of their re-
moteness are not easily discernible.
Business men foresee a period Of
great activity and question the sUt-
hciency OF labor. There s no like

the opposite.
