DEMAND FOR GOOD RAMS
GREATER THAN SUPPLY

1.-THE demand for Shropshire and
Hampshire rams the past season has
been much greater than the supply"
says q. P. Williams, sheep and goat
specialist, Extension Division, Louis
lara State UNIVERSITY. The Livestock
Extension Office receives many in
cuiries for rams Of this type, but not
often can we put finger down and
say: There is the ram for you to
buy. The minimum weight for stand
ard Shropshire and Hampshire rams
is ITS pounds, and the weight OF the
ewes should not be less than 14)
pounds. Ram lambs offered for breed
ing purposes should weigh not less
than 100 pounds when from five to six
months old. The man who is looking
for breeding stock Of either OF these
breeds has a right to ask the breeder
to produce the goods if he wants the
price. Don't pay good money for a
black-face animal unless he carries
the weight and the troad chest and
rump that the standard calls for;
don't buy a Shropshire or Hamp-
shire pelt for the bones it holds. for
if the breeder can't produce stand.

OF doing SO are small. II breeders

COOPERATIVE MARKETING

DIFFICULTIES IN SHIPPING US
UALLY ENCOUNTERED.
PLAN IS VERY SIMPLE
Every Community Should Have a Live
Stock Shipping Association For
Marketing Purposes.

The cooperative shipments of hogs
offer the Louisiana farmer a solution
to almost all difficulties heretofore en-
countered, especially where there is
a considerable amount of STOCK in ex-
cess of local demands which other
carload lots. Cooperative shipments
ct hogs are very satisfactory, and it
Is just q question of time when every
community will have a livestock ship
ping association.
The following are some of the ad-
vantages the system of marketing Of
fers:
~ The farmer receives the great
est possible returns for hogs sold.
(2) The profit of the shipping buy
ers is eliminated.
90 The farmer receives the actual
market price for his stock, less the
cost of marketing.
az Farmers with only a few hogs
are enabled to market them in car
load lots, and receive the advantage
of selling on a centralized market
t6) Cooperative shipments re-
ceive special attention at centralized
markets.
(6) Better service is had from the
railroads.

off Italy from one Of the sources OF
supply of manufactured products 1t
is'not necessary here TO enlarge upon
the well known fact that Italian mar
kets were largely under the domination
of Germany and Austria. That Is a
situation that Is as well known to
Americans as 1t is and was distasteful
to Italians. And II might be said in
passing that it is situation that must
be guarded against by allied cO-Opera-
ton and sympathetic economic rela-
tionship when peace comes.
Mr.. Francis II. SissOn, vice presl-
dent of the Guaranty Trust Company.
in Il recent article on the economic
situation Of Italy points out that while
Germany before the war dominated
: the foreign trade of Italy so far as
manufactures were concerned, that
country was one of the best customers
of the United States in raw materials
and foodstuffs. That writer also points
out that it was the adjustment of her
Industrial and commercial life to the
burdensOme new conditions that has
created an entirely new economic fab
rfc in Italy.
'Italys devotion of her resources to
war purposes has been complete" says
Mr. Sisssn Her pre-eminence In the
production Of certain articles of com
mcrce marked her as the chief source
Of supply for similar products OF q
warlike nature Her ordinary produc-
ton of automobiles, aeroplanes. tur-
bines and heavy oil engines has mere

direction of such a standardization as
would permit quantity production"
Financially italy Responded Well.
Financially Italy also has responded
to the demands Of war with an open
handedness that has surprised even her.
self. From the first Of August, 1914, to
the end of 1917 the total expenditures
Of the state were $685., 100000. Cal
culating on the basis of a monthly aver
age expenditure for the war of $24O, 900.
600, the total cost Of the war to Italy
would be more than $4,000, 100000.
A further proof Of the financial Ct
fort Italy made for the war, notwith.
standing her small means, are the five
national loans. The first one yielded
| about s2OO,OOO.OOO, and 1t seemed q
great struggle, yet still others were
launched, all giving greater returns

Ing world.~
Over 1896 miles Of rouds have been
constructed on the mountains of Italy
and Of Albania. and 1000 miles OF
aerial cable railroads (Teleferiche)
have been built to carry food, ammu-

81 Economic Difficulties.
The magnitude Of this military effort
can be fully appreciated only when one
takes into consideration the economic
structure OF the nation and the nature
and NUMBER Of IFS population. One
must remember tnat cut of &c 900 600
inhabitants in Italy al the beginning
Of the war only f.OO0,O0O were male.
This seeming dispropor,iOn is caused
10y emigration, which was largely COM
posed Of male adults. Out Of those
100000 only 100000 were adults
! economically productive. Consequent
~ the subtraction of the n6biliZed
forces has had IN acute reaction on
The economic life of the nation. II Is
cslima.ao that on an average only 100
adults remained in each town or vii
iuge TO provide in each case for some
$40 children below the age Of fifteen.
Furthermore, the traditions of Itai-
Ian family life render the work of their
women an economic factor of less i'm
portance than in Some other countries
though, 1t has been utilized TO the Ut
most and is becoming more available
as old traditions give way 10 wars ne
ccSSity.
No Troops From Colonies.
Italy go, no help from colonial con-
tingen;s. Onthe contrary, the scarcity
Of native troops in ltaly's colonies
compelled The government to reinforce
them with troops from the mother
country. Nor has help come to Italy
through the cooperation of workmen
Of neutral or allied countries Italy,
on the other hand. sent large con-
tingent of skilled worklnen to France,
thus allowing her to release valued
elements for war. Furthermore, near.
ly 100000 Of our male adults residing
in America gave to this great nation
direct contribution to her economic
and military efforts.
To meet their military obligations
therefore, the Italian people have been
compelled to cut Into the most urgen,
needs of agriculture and industry. Her
