More Money In Live 8tock Than Grain.
The value of farm animals is in
creasing
rapidly,
suggesting
that
farmers of the west are going more
and more into general farming, not
depending ho much on raising grain
for market. The statement is made
by the American Cultivator. The
value of farm animals is placed nt
about 15,000.000,(MIO, or one-fifth of
the entire value of farm property,
The value of receipts at leading mar-
ket centers for about 50,000.000 head
of cattle, horses, hogs and mules will
total well over a billion dollars, this
turn of the leading markets only, and
probably nearly as much more live
Stock is sold at the smaller markets,
as it is figured that about two-fifth»
of the farm live stock goes to market
during one year. Of the annual ln-
come from live stock, cattle make up
about tive-elglitiiB. hogs one-fourth
and the balance eht*ep, horses and
mules. The great Iron and steel In
dustry is surpassed In value of ex
ports by the shipments of meat and
dairy products. The tendency of all
lines of animal products is toward in
crease, while the country is becoming
less and less an exporter of grain.
The farmers are wisely securing a
double profit by turning their grain
into the borne market and selling It
as a finished product in the form of
meat, butter and cheese. The United
States has more dairy cows (22,244,
446) than any other country in the
world, more horses. 23.000,532; more
mules, 4,056,399; more swine. 57,976,

cattle, 78.246,573.

A good many small feeders who
raise what they feed are debating the
question very seriously whether to
continue feeding high priced corn to
low priced Btock on what is without
question a losing venture in the hope
that market conditions will improve
or to dispose of tbelr feeding animals
on the best terms they can and sell
their corn at prevailing prices. This
is not so simple a question as may ap
pear on the surface, if it seems simple
at all. However, there are two or
three points involved which it would
be worth while taking into account in
settling the question, and then it
would have to be determined by each
feeder for himself. In the first place,
it is patent from even superficial ob
servation that with the prices of all
staple food products well nigh out of
sight, and this Including retail meats,
the live stock market is being manipu
lated in the interest of some party
other than the farmers who produce
and that large class who are consum
ers of meat products. Again, it seems
clear that were a large portion of the
stock In the feed yards to be rushed
ou to a glutted market It would still
further depress prices snd accomplish
the very purpose which the packing
interests have In view—namely, the
buying of live stock at the lowest pos
sible figures. A third fact that should
be kept in mind Is that if this whole
sale marketlug of feeding animals
should continue for any length of time
It would greatly reduce the demand for
corn and many other feeds and cause
a material decline In prices. With
these points In view we believe the
wise course for the feeder who can do
so would be to feed sparingly, holding
his stock for a better price, which Is
bound to prevail In the near future If
anything like normal economic condl-
tlons prevail and good times come on,
as all confidently expect. For the
farmer who Is not feeding stock and
has no Idea of doing so the wise
course would seem to be to market a
good portion of his corn at present
high prices. *ec It is the conviction of
many who have studied the situation
that at local shipping points corn will
sea 40 cents before it does 75.

While the winter care of the or

with that which is required at other
seasons of the year, it should include
at least a frequent inspection of the

to take measures necessary for their
extermination. In case the trees are

protect them with wood veneer or
