Jefferson City advices of the 7th
inst. says that Missouri live stock in
creased in numbers during the past
quarter slightly less than the proper
tionate rate of increase for the same
quarter in 1921, according to the quar-
terly live stock survey announced by
E. A. Logan and Jewell Mayes of the
Federal-State Crop Reporting Service.
Missouri cattle on farms now num-
Der 1864, 900, compared to $3.50, 900 on
April and 2,659, 900 in January, re-
sulting from births Of calves during
this period, which wasaa smaller pro-
portion to the total number of live
stock on hand April / than the rate in
the same quarter ofS1921.
The number of cows is now 80 per
cent of the total cattle stock, being 2
points under the proportion in 1921,
but this results from large total cat
tle stock on hand.
The number of cattle on feed now is
only 8 per cent of the total, while
these on grass are so per cent, being
several points greater than last year.
The sales Of cattle during this quar-

Among the notable professional men
of this country who achieved great
success along strictly legitimate lines
was DIR. r. V. Pierce. Devoting his
attention to the specially of women's
diseases, he became a recognized
authority in that line.
Over fifty years ago this noted
physician gave to the world q Pre-
scription which has never been
equaled for the weaknesses of
women. DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y,
long since found out what is natu-
rally best for women's diseases. He
learned it all thru treating thou
sands of cases. The result of his
studies was a medicine called Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. This
medicine issmade of vegetable growths
that nature surely intended for back
ache, headache, weakening pains, and
for the many disorders common to
women in all ages of life. Women who
take this standard remedy know that
in DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
they are getting safe woman's tonic
so good that druggists everywhere sell
it in both tablet and fluid form.

it, and / have voted for it, because if
we are going to raise these tariffs
higher and higher upon the manufac-
tured products of the country, why not
do so in the case Of the agricultural
products?
$50 far as wheat is concerned, the
tariff has very little influence upon it..
The hard spring wheat Of the north
west may be to some extent advan-
tagged by the tariff upon wheat; but
this bill reduces the duty upon that
wheat, SO how can any wheat grower
of the country claim any advantage
under this bill? AS to the wheat
grower, this bill simply means in
creased costs of everything he has to
buy, and why should the wheat grow
er favor this bill rather than the pres
ent law?
"The same thing may be said of the
bean growers. The duty under this
law is precisely the same as in the
emergency tariff law, so as to the bean
grower the only effect is to increase
the price of the things which he has
to buy.
"The tariff can not affect the price
of corn in this country to any substan-
tial extent, but if it does the tariff
upon corn in the pending bill is no
greater than that in the present law.
So why should corn producers favor
this bill? Its only effect as to him
would be to increase the price of ev-
erything he must buy.
$50 with the other commodities.
There have been few changes here
and there, but in my honest judgment
there is no reason on earth why any
one who has the real agricultural in
terests of this country at heart should
vote for this bill in preference to the
existing law, including the emergency
tariff law.
II hope the Senators on the other
side who say they are speaking in the
interest of agriculture will bear these
things in mind. come from an agri-
cultural section of the country. i
voted for the emergency tariff law;
helped frame it, and | helped contin-
ue it until it should be supplanted by
some other law; but in my humble
judgment, by repeating that law, as
this bill does, by substituting these
enormous duties upon manufactured
products, as this Nll does, for the
rates in that bill, anyone who votes
for the pending bill will be voting
against the interest of the agricul-
tural producers of the country"

where corn prospects are best.
Cattle are in good condition with
pastures fine in the best bluegrass Sec
tions, excepting that along the eastern
border and on much of the Ozark
range grazing is very poor.
Increase in Hogs
Hogs totaled 4,899, 900 on July 1,
against 4,866, 900 in April and $685.
600 January 1. This increase is due
to the increased number of pigs. The
birth rate of pigs for the second quar-
ter of 1922 is slightly less than for the
second quarter of 1921, based upon the
total number of stock on hand April 1.
However, this actually means larger
number of pigs narrowed during this
quarter than for the same quarter of
1921. The number of stock hogs
brought onto farms is four points
greater than last year, while the pro-
portion of the total stock sold off is
three points less than last year. The
proportion of sows to the total stock
remains the same, but results in a
larger number of brood sows than last
year, the total being 735,000.
The percentage of hogs on feed is 80
per cent of the total number, which is
three points less than, last year, with
l ,470,000 hogs being prepared for mar
ket, Of this number farmers intend
to market SO per cent during the next
three months, which is twelve points
above the 1921 intention, and is caused
by good supply of corn or hand and
favorable prices.
Hogs are in good condition, but the
death rate during the past quarter is
one point above last year, as pigs have
continued to die from various causes.
Sheep Total 1,4S9,000
Missouri sheep total 1,489, 900,
against 1,583,00 in April and 1,042,-
900 in January. Ewes total $4,000,
compared to 791 900 in April, the pro-
portion to the total sheep stock being
two points above that of 1921. Births
of lambs during the second quarter OF
1922 was six points lower than in 1921,
while the number of sheep brought on
to farms was above that of last year,
but the number sold off was points
greater. The death rate is practically
the same as last year. Very little in
terest is shown in buying stock sheep,
excepting in a few counties of the
and northeast sections. The
intentions to sell about equal the num-
bers to be bought.
Missouri horses number $4,000,
against 867 900 on April / and 879, 900
on January l, the increase over the
preceding quarter due to foals, which
were less than in 1921, with the other
of horse stock on farms
being about the same as for the pre-
ceding year. The number of breeding
stock remains about the same proper
ton as last year, but mares bred for
next years foals show a reduction
from the preceding year. The number
of mules was $4,000, compared to
367 900 on April and 377 900 in Jan
uary, the increase being due to mule
colts. the total of which is slightly less
than the proportion Of mule foals to
the total mule stock last year. The
number of mues brought onto farms
is less than last year, but the number
sold off was about double 1921. Breed
ing operations in Missouri indicate for
1922 twice as many mule colts as
horse colts.

FoRDNEY TARIFF
AND THE FARMER

Senator Jones of New Mexico, Re-
publican, always considered staunch
friend Of the farmer, in speaking of
the tariff bill as it affects the Agricul-
tural interests, said in part:
"Mr. President, so far as the farm
ers of this country are concerned, this
bill simply means an increase in the
cost of what the farmer has to buy.
Take the present tariff upon meats,
the emergency tariff upon meats. 1t
has operated to the interest Of the
meat producers Of this country in a
way, but only in very limited ex-
tent. There is no meat now coming in
to the United States which would
make necessary an increase in the du-
ty on meats. This bill proposes to do

MISSOURI AS Am EGG STATE

Missouri ranks second in the pro-
duction of eggs in the United States
with approximately 117,000,000 dozen
according to the census report Of 1920.
This number Of eggs is equal to $780,
900 cases, containing 80 dozen each,
or an amount sufficient to fill 9,750
cars loaded with 400 cases to the car.
Perhaps this enormous production of
eggs will be brought more forcibly to
ones attention when it is stated that
the number of cars would make 1876
solid trains of so cars each.

in the seasons before the war.

"A nouncement has been
made, it is safe to assume that
the full and varied White
House social program of last
winter will be materially cut
down. After her recent illness
Mrs. Harding could never stand
the strain Of a repetition of
last winter. The spirit, indeed,
is willing, but the flesh will
be weak. Indeed, it is a mys-
terry that she, a woman who
for years had not been strong,
should have come through such
a strenuous season smiling
and the key to that mystery is
spelled grit"
Never again. however, will her
physicians allow her to attempt the
impossible; and, although she IS
making satisfactory progress, she
still has a long and tedious con.
valescence before her. Mrs. Hard
ing has no daughter to fall back
on. as Mrs. Taft had, and the first
Mrs. Wilson. both of whom broke
down under the arduous duties
which fall to the mistress of the
White House. So it is on the
cards that social activities at the
White House will be scaled down
to the most highly official func-
tions-and even they may be can
celled unless Mrs. Harding makes
rapid strides toward recovery.
DURING Mrs. Wilson's illness
there was always one and
sometimes all three Of her daugh-
ters to take the duties OF chate-
laine Of the White House from her
shoulders. Miss Jessie Wilson had
been married to Francis Bowes
Sayre, and was making her home
in the little college town-Williams-
town. Mass, wasn't it?-where
her husband, a university profes-
sor, was then on duty. But she
was a frequent visitor at the White
House; and Miss Margaret Wilson
spent much more time at home
than she did after her mothers
death. Moreover. Mrs. Wilson's
death occurred only few months
after Miss Eleanor Wilson's mar.
riage to William Gibbs McAdoo,
then Secretary Of the Treasury.
1t will be remembered that Miss
Helen Taft, now Mrs. Frederick
Johnson Manning, was called home
from Bryn Mawr. where she was
a student, when her mother was
taken i'll and spent the winter at
the White House. However, che
was not Mrs. Taft's official under
study, for her sister, Mrs. Laugh
lin-now Mrs. Henry F. Lippitt--
came on from Pittsburgh and I'LL.
ed the role Of deputy mistress Of
the White House whenever Presi-
dent Taft entertained officially.
THERE Is a theory that official
society takes its cue from the
White House and to a certain
extent this Is true. although there
are some notable exceptions-wit'
ness the winter when President
Wilson lay Ill and when the Capt.
tai turned itself loose TO entertain
the King and Queen of the Bel
gIans and the Prince OF Wales.
However, tho present Cabinet Is
rather inclined to take it's social
duties hard and I suspect that
most of the Cabinet hostesses will
be only too glad to escape a whole
lot OF official entertaining.
As for the diplomats, they will

as usual. There are certain official
or semi-official functions which
most Of them regard as among the
obligations Of their position. And
there are so many delightful peo-
pie in the corps who are continual
ly entertaining and being enter
tanned that they contribute rather
more than their share to the
gayety Of nations.
The debutantes. OF course. viii
hold the center of the stage from
the middle OF November until
along about Christmas. The debu-
tantes Of last year didn't have half
a chance. for the delegates to the
arms conference usurped the spot
light. But their sisters Of this
season will fare better and dates
for debutante parties are already
being selected. Miss Beatrice Pit
ney, daughter of Justice and Mrs.
Mahlon Pitney; Miss Rosamond
Castle. daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs.
William r. Castle. and Mrs. John
r. Mitchell's pretty daughter,
Miss Louise Anderson, are among
the buds who will have a lot done
for them.

December are given over to the
debutante. Then comes Christ

sets in in earnest.
This year. moreover, the Con.
gressionals will be late returning
to Washington. They were very
late getting away. you see, and II
seems quite likely that some Of the
womenfolk will remain at home
until after the dawn OF 1928.
There seems to be some doubt now
as to whether or not President
Harding will call an extra session
the middle Of November, efforts
having been made to convince him
that his pet project. the ship sub
sidy bill, can be taken care Of at
the next session. And even II ne
does, the session will necessarily
be short, since the regular session
begins early in December, Even
then, the Congress will scarcely
get down to business before the
time comes for the Christmas re.
cess; and, consequently. II will be
January before the Congressional
circle is again entirely complete.
THE Administration forces, on
the other hand, are more near
ly full strength than they have
been for some months: and the
judiciary-in the persons Of the
Judges OF our highest tribunal
are assembling In readiness for the
reconvening of the Supreme Court
on the first Monday in October.
That's the day upon which the
bench, wearing it's robes and
headed by the Chief Justice. calls
upon the President in a body to
inform him officially that the
court Is in session.
