Utility Demanded
in All Live Stock
Better Judgment Suggested
in Selecting Breeders
for Meat Use.
BY e. T. Robbins. Live Stock Extension spe-
cialist. University of Illinois
UNIT QRRvfcA

W NJ 0CEVAC1'
Prize-winning live stock fashions
may come and go like feminine styles,
but producers who strive to obtain the
maximum returns from their meat an
imals should select their breeding
stock more along utility lines.
Only farmers who raise the type
and size Of animals demanded by con-
sunsers can expect to sell their live
stock for the highest prices, regard
less of the latest mode at the live stock
shows.
At present many cattle raisers are
finding that the fashionable little bulls
beget calves that grow too slowly.
When ready for market these yearlings
will weigh only 900 pounds, while
somewhat coarser stock will tip the
scales at half a ton. 1t is the larger
yearlings that are making the most
money because they more nearly lt
the needs and desires of the market.
Larger sires will aid many cattlemen
in producing the larger, more desir-
able yearlings.
Likewise, early lamb producers are
coming to realize that they need rams
of considerable size, If they are to get
the largest possible market returns.
For this reason, many farmers are
changing to the larger breeds. What
the sheep man wants is lamb that
will grow fast enough to weigh 70 to
80 pounds at four months of age, and
lambs from small parents will not
do it.
Hog producers, however have diff
ferent problem. Some Of the present
breeding stock has such great size that
the pigs are still gangling and thin at
weights which the market desires. The
utility standard in this case is a pig
that will grow rapidly and yet become
fat at around 200 pounds. For this
purpose, boars weighing considerably
less than 1000 pounds are more likely
to fit the needs of most producers.
rather than the excessively huge sires
seen at fairs and live stock EXPOSE
lions.
Some breeds of live stock need more
stretch while others need more COM
pactness to supply sires for most farm
herds and focks. Thus the breeder
who develops his stock along utility
standards will render practical serv-
ice for the live stock industry.

Rodents Like Jap Beetle

In their search for effective control
measures for the japanese beetle, en-
tomologists of the Department Of Ag-
riculture have discovered that much
help may be expected from the small
rodents, such as moles, mice and
skunks, which are natural enemies of
the bugs. They claim that Japanese
beetle grubs are choice tidbits for
these small animals, although the ami
mails themselves are considered null
sances. The useful part they play in
mans struggle against this insect pest
of lawns, gardens and orchards, how
ever, may give them new lease on life.

1895, he will eliminate the 5 per cent
pay cut that is now taken out of the
salaries of all federal employees. The
pay restoration, he explained, Is being
planned on the assumption that in
creases in the cost of living will ne
cessitate it.
The Treasury department thereupon
admitted frankly that this means the
taxpayers will be called on to pay an
additional fifty million dollars year
for the benefit of the 100000 federal
employees who will benefit by the res
toration in salaries.
Mr.. Roosevelt predicted fatty that
the cost Of living will advance substan-
tally within the next eight months.
When he made this statement at his
regular press conference he also eau
toned reporters to remember that an
increase in the cost of living meant
an increase in commodity and property
values, thereby lessening the difficulty
in paying debts. This is one of the
avowed aims of the Roosevelt program.
He said he expected the rise of food,
clothing fuel, housing, and other living
costs to be large enough by next July l
to justify the per cent restoration.

''''''a" ee" employment has ex-
ceeded last years level. The number
of persons without any employment he
puts at S,348OOO. Those without jobs
in industry in September numbered
10,951, 900. Jobs for 100000 were pro-
vided by conservation camps and emer-
gency relief projects, but these emer-
gency jobs" he said, "are not Great
ing incomes to pay the COSTS"
Mr.. Green continued: could not the
administration invite all industries to
cooperate in general program to in
crease production and put men to
work?
"If the nationwide level of all pro-
duction were lifted 30 per cent in a
balanced program, adjusting produc-
ton to consumption needs, each indus
try would then be assured that all
other industries would increase their
production, and the wealth produced
by putting labor to work would create
income to buy the product of all.
1.-THE total number at work in the
United States was 39,764,0O0 in Sep
TENDER, 1888; by September, 1884, it
had declined to 1885,, 900. During
these II months the normal increase
in population has added close to 45O.-
600 to the army of job seekers for
whom industry provides no work. Thus
the number without work in industry
has risen from 1O10S00O in Septem-
Der, 1888, to 1O,951,0O0 in September,
1884"
Quite as gloomy as Mr.. Green's re-
port was a statement of the National
Industrial Conference board. This
agency noted that the general improve
ment in manufacturing activity usually
occurring in September failed to ma
terialize. Instead, declines of 81 per
cent in the number of wage earners
employed, of 81 per cent in total man
hours worked and of So per cent in
payrolls disbursed, were reported. In
addition, it was stated, the rise in the
cost Of living from August to Septem-
Der depressed real weekly earnings Of
wage earners 81 per cent.
On the other hand, the United States
Chamber of Commerce in its summary
Of conditions throughout the nation
reports continued improvement of bust
ness sentiment although it has not as
yet been reflected definitely in the vol
ume of transactions.
MANY thoughtful persons comment
4V1 on the apparent discrepancy be-
tween the pleas of William Green for
more employment and the policy pur-
sued by organized labor in fostering
great strikes seemingly for the sole
purpose of enforcing unionization and
the closed shop. Many thousands of
persons are thrown out of employment
by these strikes, industries are ham,
pered or shut down and often serious
disorders result. To the bystander it
does not seem fair that, in a time of
distress, such methods should be fol-
lowed in order that the strength of the
unions might be increased. The latest
example of this policy is the strikes
which brought about the closing of
all the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea
company's shops and warehouses in
Cleveland and which went into effect in
Milwaukee against the A. and P. and
two other chain store companies. There
was a prospect that these walkouts
would spread throughout Ohio and
Wisconsin.

Il is far from washed-up, even
though the blond Richmond
youngster hasn't done much In golf
over the last year or so. Billy is too
good swinger, too fine a putter and
has too much knowledge OF the game
to lose his touch forever. Billy won
the Middle Atlantic Championships
OF 1870 and 1881. David B. Crook,
who won the tourney over his home
course at Catonsville, Md, last year,
is given only an outside chance, for
1t isn't customary for any golfer to
repeat in the Middle Atlantic.
Crook is fine player, but not be-
fore nor since his 1888 victory has
he done anything in golf which would
entitle him to equal ranking with
Peacock and Harper. But Ernie
Caldwell, the Hillendale blond bliz-
card, may cause some distress. Cald-
well won the title in 1882 with the
finest round of golf ever played in
