EXPERIMENTS SHOW VALUE
OF MUTTON AS A FOOD

The production of sheep for wool
alone is rapidly on the wane in the
United States. More and more EN-
phasis is being placed on the produc-
ton of lamb and mutton for the Ia
BILE, although only 81 per cent of the
meat consumed by the average
American for the last five years was
lamb or mutton. This proportion
should be much larger, according to
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture, as mutton and lamb are
among the most healthful, nutritious
and palatable of meats.
The reason for the limited use OF
lamb and mutton throughout the cen
trail section of the United States
probably had its origin in the days
of the development of the great corn
belt region west of the Appalachian
Mountains, department workers say.
At that time the sheep owned by the
settlers Of that region came largely
from the North Atlantic states and
had been developed almost without
exception for wool production, re-
gardless of the inherent flavor of
the meat. The flesh of these animals
was no doubt tough, not so palatable
as other meats, and possibly, owing
TO the crude methods of caring for
it, much of it was unfit for use. AS
this section of the country has been
somewhat slower in the development
of mutton breeds CT sheep, and as
much prejudice against the meat has
been handed down from generation
to generation, there has developed
the idea that the flesh of all sheep is
not appetiing and carries peculiar
flavors.
There is a characteristic taste II
cooked mutton and lamb, due to the
chemical contents of the meat fat
that makes it easy to distinguish
from other kinds of meat. The sam
is true of beef, chicken, venison, Of
rabbit. In order to prove that thi'
taste was not unwholesome and tina
the meat was palatable, experiment
were made in the Bureau of Anima
Industry of the department, in co
operation with the Office of HON,
Economics, which proved that lamN
and mutton are wholesome, appetiz
ing, and economical meats for fam
lily use, ranking well up with othe
meats in food value per pound. Tn
fact that only a small proportion o
sheep carcasses are condemned unde

that mutton and lamb should b
used more generally.

having his exemptions increased at
the same time many other taxes
which he paid were repealed.
Later the passage of a protective
tariff gave IRA to industry and
labor that the activity and prosperity
which had been brought about by the
republican administration would be
protected from destructive foreign
competition.
The result of all this is common
information. Today in the United
States more wage earners are en-
ployed at better average wages than
ever before in the history of the
country in times of peace. The cor
! dition of labor in the United States
today is incomparably better than in
any other nation. In many other
countries unemployment is still a ser
ious problem.
Not only is labor in this country
employed at good wages, but the
standard of living of American labor
is higher than in any other country,
working conditions are better, hours
are shorter, and living costs are rel
atively lower.
1t is due to the policies of the re-
publican party during the last half
century that the standard of living,
the standard working conditions and
the level of wages in this country
are all better than in other countries,
Practically all laws which have been
enacted from time to time for the
betterment of working conditions,
particularly those Of the woman and
child in industry, are of republican
origin.
The northern republican states
have always led the way in labor re-
form legislation. Today the labor
laws of the northern republican
states are more advanced than those
Of the democratic states Of the "Sol-
id South" Of II states whose laws
are equal to or superior to the stand
ard of federal laws, all but two are
republican states of the north.
No one knows better than the
working man that class legislation
in the long run, hurts the very class
it is intended to favor. No one re-
ceives greater benefit from nation.

the republican party to support such

"CULLING" Of POUL-

Your profits this year will depend

At this time of the season all your
Gull cOckerals should be on the mar,

male birds that you do not intend to
use in breeding hens. The writer
has had a lesson in holding over
cOckerals for better markets. Let
me illustrate.
A number of years ago, when We
first took a venture in the chicken
business, we had a ready sale for
early broilers. At that time, we re-
ceived a flat price of 81 each for
brOilers that dressed l pound, by a
high class hotel. These were Leg
horns. Because of the ready sale, we
conceived the idea that if they were
worth so much as b~roilers, they would
be worth a lot more if held and fat
tened. Result, we held over 100
birds, fed them for five months
longer at a cost of $40, and then
tried to sell. The market was glut-
ted by the farmers dumping their
product, and the average price was
20 cents per pound. We sold our
flock for $50, and lost $50 on the
transaction. This same procedure is

MULES POPULARITY ON
FARM INCREASING

The ability Of the mule to endure
hardship and perform sterling service
under adverse conditions has estab-
lished him as a real asset in Amer
lean agriculture, says the United
States Department of Agriculture,
and his Importance and popularity as
a work animal is attested by his rap
idly increasing use. In 1910, the
number of mules on farms and ranch
es was 4,2O9 .381, an increase during
the decade of nearly 80 per cent,
Nearly three-fifths of all the mules
in use in the United States are found
in the nine Cotton Belt States. These
states, Texas, Georgia, Oklahoma
Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama
North Carolina, South Carolina anC
Louisiana had a total Of 3,172,79T
mules in 1920 as compared with
1856 257 horses. Texas and Oklaho-
ma were the only Cotton Belt states
having more horses than mules.
While the mule is essentially
draft animal, it is widely used 70,

{ N DIN &
UNEMPLOYMENT

Enforced idleness of more than
5000, 900 wage earners was one of the
most serious problems confronting
the United States when the republi-
can party took charge in March,
1921. The problem was not peculiar
to the United States. 1t was world
wide.
The republican administration set
about, through legislative and admin
~istrative. measures, to relieve the sit
uation. 1t did not attempt this by
temporary makeshifts, class legisla-
ton or appeals to prejudice. 1t gave
its attention to underlying causes
which produced this unprecedented ar
my of unemployed.
Agricultural interests normally
consume about 40 per cent of the
manufactured goods of the United
States. When the republican party
anne into power this class of con-
sumers was tout of the market" be-
cause agriculture was almost pros
trate. By an emergency tariff which
protected agricultural producers, by
empowering the War Finance corpor-
alton to make emergency loans and
by other legislation, the purchasing
power of the farming and livestock
interests was increased. This re-
suited in increased industrial inter
ests and increased employment.
High interest rates discouraged the
borrowing of money upon the part Of
industrial and commercial interests
for purposes of extensions and i'm.
provements. Interest rates were re
), duced and business of all kinds wa
/, thereby stimulated.
immigration was adding to tn,
problem of unemployment. The earl,
