Sleeping Sickness in
Horses on Decrease

A notable decrease In number Of
horses afflicted with sleeping sickness
took place this year in comparison
$4,000 cases were reported in the
United States. The following year the
number dropped to 5000 and this year
only $500, mostly in the middle west,
were infected. About half the cases
reported this year were infected in
late September and early October, an
unusual time Of year for the disease.
There Is no definite explanation
given for the decline of the disease,
although some veterinarians have sug-
mested that widespread dry weather
In early summer may have had some
thing TO do with it. Mosquitoes can
transmit the disease and 1t was be-
lieved the drouth might have reduced
spread Of the disease because Of u1l-
favorable mosquito breeding condi-

Finishers appear to be banking
on a higher fat cattle market next
winter and spring than a year
earlier. They are taking out mere
thin cattle than q year ago, and
paying higher prices for them. Be-
cause of the advance In corn, feed
costs probably viii be a little high
er than last year, midwestern
expert reports.
viii demand be enough stronger to
absorb the increased supply at prices
that will cover the higher costs?
Last winter and spring seems to
have been mostly a break even feed
ing season. About the same result this
year seems probable.
Corn prices are about 10 to Is per-
cent over last fall and winter. Even
after some readjustment to new crop
basis, corn probably will be higher
than last year. In counting the real
cost, many farmers viii figure on the
loan rate which probably will be about
so to 81 cents against 81 cents last
season. Hay prices are starting out
about the same as last year. Oats and
barley are lower than last fall and
winter Most high protein feeds are
cheaper and probably will remain so,
as the supply will be larger and ex-
port demand will be smaller.
Feeding margins on the cattle mar
keted last December May were about
average for those months. This con-
cluSion is based on calculations using
the average value of a 1,050-pound
good fat steer at Chicago during those
months, the average cost of TOO
pound feeder at Kansas City six
months previous and the average farm
value of so bushels of corn and ton
of alfalfa hay during the feeding peri
cd. It was assumed that these amounts
of feed or their equivalent in other
feeds would convert the feeder into
the fat steer. Marketing, labor and
miscellaneous costs as well as returns
from pork and manure were left out
of the reckoning.
Cost and Profit
Calculated In this way, the margin
to cover other costs and for profit
last December May averaged about
$1308 per head. In the corresponding
months Of the preceding IA seasons,
this margin averaged $13O6. However,
farmers who fed corn last winter
which they could have placed under
loan In sections where the farm price
was well under the loan value prob
ably felt that the returns from feed
ing were less favorable than average.
While any increase IN feeding for
the next winter and spring market
seems likely to be rather small, and
a decrease may occur instead, beef
supplies probably viii show some gain
because Of the rapid cyclical rise in
cattle production now under way In
response to high prices for cattle COM
pared with grain and hay. The cattle
population at the end of 1910 prob
ably win be about 100000 head great
increase in production is still going
into upbuildlng of herds, but the
dressed beef supply also is increasing.
Hence, regardless of changes 10
cattle feeding, numbers slaughtered
next winter and spring probably viii

MI when they're seven
! v i teen. But fortunately
the boys to whom they lose
their hearts are about seven
teen, too. Quite unable to face
the responsibilities of home and
bills and family. Neither boys
nor girls take these affairs too
seriously, and presently their
school days are over, and they
are dancing and working and
going to movies and planning
more seriously, as they leave
the teens behind them.
When the girl is seventeen,
however, and the man ten
years older, the situation is
not so simple. She is an inno-
cent, giddy, curious young
thing who is merely in love
with love; he is more calcu-
lating, ready to settle down, and
more than ready to take adj
vantage Of her inexperience. It is
a safe rule that when a young girl
wants to marry, a man some years
older, one who has no job, who has
already had one unfortunate mari
tai experience, and whom her FAM
lily dislikes, she is heading for a
wreck.
Stubborn Seventeen.
Yet girls can be stubborn, at II;
they do this over and over again,
and from one girls bitter expert
ence and costly mistakes no other
girl seems able to learn.
Witness Joan, whose mothers let
ter lies on my desk this morning.
"Our girl has been raised on your
advice, printed in the Sunday pa
per-" writes the mother, from Knox
vile. s'For years I've quoted you,
and twice I've written you direct.
Joan was our only child until she
was 10, then son came to share
honors. We've always treated her
reasonably; she's had her share Of
household duties, alternate Sundays
we have had open house for her
friends. It has been as normal and
sweet a childhood as any girl in
the land could have.
4. He's IS and No Good.
s'What could we have done that
we didn't do, to save her from what
has happened now? To make the
story short, a man came to town
three months ago. and was suddenly
included in all the plans of Joan's
little set. Nobody seems to know
quite how or why. He is about IS,
slightly bald, small, fair, talkative,
and thoroughly no good. He has had
two jobs in this time, held neither
one. He has never explained, even
to Joan, what the trouble was be-
tween his wife and himself, or what
were the circumstances Of their di-
vorce.
''Joan is madly in love with him,
she will be of age on December
3, and they plan to be married that
day. She won't listen and she won't
talk; she merely laughs and looks
bored, and ID off with him for hours
of giggling and condolences, telling
him, ! suppose. just what old-fash-
toned idiots her father and mother
are.
Joan's Mind Set.
my husband insisted on talk
with him; he said he could not pin
this Roy Jones down to anything.
Roy kept saying that his one thought
was Joan's happiness, and that he
loved her. We talked to Joan; no
use. She is like girl under q
spell. Can't you-won't you help US
bring her back to sanity? Is there
q cure?"
No, there's no sure cure. When

love falls upon girls young heart,

ties mean nothing, common sense

and she is moving in a dream for
the time being.
Her father and mother are heart
broken because all their years of
love and confidence seem lost. She
herself will look back aghast at
what she is doing in few years.
She viii look at the Joan of today in
the same puzzled despair that her
parents are feeling now.
Nature Against Parents.
But Nature is exerting her strong
est poisons, her strongest witcheries,
at the moment, and no one of us is
as strong as Mother Nature. Every
fiber of Joan's being is crying out
for this mans mastery, and unless
she wakes up in tine-and she may
she is going to break her heart;
perhaps wreck child's life.
Caroline Brown did what Joan is
planning to do, II years ago. Her
letter arrived in the same mail as
did that of Joan's mother. This is
part Of it.
