Horse and Mule
Prices Improve
Department of Agriculture
Predicts Acute Shortage
in Few Years.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Horses and mules, which in 1926
were worth relatively less than at any
time in the preceding 40 years, have
at last begun to advance in price. In
¥ebruary the farm price of horses av
eraged $4 a head above the price at
the beginning of 1926, and was on a
higher level than in any February
since 1924, The farm price of mules
began to advance in September last.
On January 15 they averaged $92 a
head, compared with $33 a hcad in
January of 1927. This advance ac
companied a heavy fall movement of
horses and mules into southern mar
kets. Receipts of horses and mules at
Fort Worth, Ok!ahoma City, Memphis,
Montgomery and Atlanta for October,
November and December totaled 67,
469 head compared with 17.388 head in
the corresponding period eof 1926,
Low Point in Prices.
Althougi these facts may not suffice
to prove that the low point in the
eycle of horse amd mule prices has
been passed, no class of live stock has
been relatively lower in price since
the war. Iromn 1918 to 1924 the price
of horses dropp2d more than 85 per
cent, and low values continucd there
after without much change until quite
recently. Simulianeously with the de
elining price the produciion dectined.
The e¢cnsus of 1925 showed T 3 colts
pnder two years of age per 1,000
hor.es aud mules of all ages, compared
with 132 colts in 1920, This was a
reduction of 45 per ceut in the ratio.
Data compiled by the Department of
Agriculture show that this downward
tendency in the number of horses and
mules on farms has been in progress
in several states since the early years
of the present century. Thus in New
England, the number of horses and
mules on farms totaled 380,000 head in
1900, On January 1, 1928, the num
ber on New England farms was only
231,000. In New York and Michigan
horses and mules on farms were most
numerous in 1914, when the total was
1,260,000. In the same region this
year the number was only 830,000.
In Minnesota and Wisconsin the
peak was reached in 1916, with 1,650,
000 head, compared with 1,403,000
head on January 1 of this year. In
Ohio and Indiana 1914 was the high
year, when those states had 1,921,000
hgmi and mules on farms. This year
on January 1 they had only 1,198,000
Illinois in 1913 had 1,659,000 horses
and mules, compared with 1,045,000
this year. JTowa’s peak year was 1913,
when there were 1,674,000 horses and
mules on farms compared with 1,170,
000 this year.
Decline in Number.
In the South the decline in the num
ber of horses and mules on farms oc
curred later than in the Middle West
and Northeast. Thus Texas and Okla
home had their greatest number of
horses and mules in 1920, when the
total was 3,010,000. In the same
states this year the number was 2,644,-
000. The peak year was 1920 also in
Tennessee and North Carolina, in Ken
tucky, Virginia and Delaware, and in
Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas and
Louisiana, On the Pacific slope and
in Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico
the peak year was 1917,
Substitution of mechanical power
for work animals has undoubtedly
been the most important factor in ac
counting for the decrease in the lat
ter. Tractors on farms in 1925 num
bered 506,000, or more than double
the number in 1920, The increase was
particularly great in Pennsylvania,
New York, the Lake states, the east
ern corn belt, and Californ’a, In these
states industrial competition for the
labor supply seems to have been a
factor in inducing farmers to mechan
ize their operations, It Is estimated
by the Department of Agriculture that
the decrease in horses and mules from
1020 to 1925 released for other uses
about 9,500,000 acres of land formerly
required for feed grains, hay and pas
ture,

Short Farm Notes
Sour Cream Subject
to Import Milk Act
Notice Has Been Sent to Im
porters and Shippers.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
A notice stating that sour cream for
butter making is subject to the import
milk act enforced by the food, drug
and insecticide administration has
been sent to shippers and importers
of milk und cream under that act by
W. G. Campbell, director of regulatory
work, United States Department of
Agiiculture. The full text of the no
tice is as follows:
“The question has been raised
whether imported sour cream intended
solely for butter making is subject to
the federal import milk act. After
full consideration, the department has
reached the conclusion that the pro
visions of the act apply alike to all
raw or pasteurized milk or cream of
fered for importation into the conti
nental United States, whether intend
ed for use as such or whether intended
for subsequent manufacture into any
food or beverage product; and any
former opinion to the contrary is mod
itied accordingly.
“Shippers and importers are advised
that all imported raw or pasieurized
milk or cream must conform to all the
provisions of the act. These include
not only the bacterial and temperature
limitations imposed at the time of im
portation but also the requirements
that such products must be produced
by animals which are shown to be
healthy, and that they must be han
dled in establishments showing a sat
isfactory score as provided in the act.
Although intended for manufuc.ure
into butter or any other food or bev
arge after importation into the United
States, such products can be entered
legally only under ad:quate permit ob
tained previous to the time of impor
tation.”
Carefully Burn Carcasses ‘
of Diseased Animals
The best rule to follow, when an
animal dies of disease, is to burn the
carcass. If not disposed of in wise
fashion, the carcass is quite likely to
be a hotbed of disease, says the Farm
Journal.
Take blackleg—a calt dead of
blackleg is a dangerous thing, threat
ening to infect the pastures for years
to come if it is not wholly destroyed.
Burning is the most thorough and
least expensive method. An old hay
rake wheel, an old harrow, or any
thing that will make a rude grating
when supported on rocks, will keep
the calf off the ground and allow a
draft underneafh. Put the call on
this grating and place plenty of brush
and wood underneath. Slash the body
thoroughly with a knife, drench with
a gallon or so of kerosene, and it will
burn. %
The carcass should be burned where
it lies, if possible. If it has to be
moved, load it on a stone-boat, wagon
or shed, providing plenty of straw to
absorb any infectious discharges.
Dragging the carcass across the fields
is the most certain method of infect
ing the whole route with blackleg for
future generations of cattle. If the
carcass cannot be burned, it should be
buried at least four feet down and
covered with unslaked lime,
Milk Supplies Proteins
of Excellent Quality
Milk furnishes protein® of excellent
quality but unfortunately most of us
do not have suflicient milk available
to balance the corn. There are many
good protein feeds of vegetable origin
that will give excellent accounts of
themselves when incorporated into the
ration of the growing and fattening
pig. The proteins in most of these
feeds of plant origin, such as linseed
oil meal, soy bean oil meal, cotton
seed meal, wheat middlings and others
are unbalanced in somewhat the same
manner as the proteins of corn and
the cereal grains, Many of these
feeds may be fed in certain combina
tion® with very good results, both
physiologically and economically speak.

Shorten Broody Period
by Feeding Liberally
There is probably no “best” method
for breaking up setting hens, The
practice has gradually changed to a
problem of substituting kindness and
good feed for rough treatment, Brood.
iness Is a natural tendency In hens.
Some breeders have been able to prae.
tically eliminate It by selecting birds
that are free from broodiness, Broodi.
ness Is also caused to some extent by
hens wanting to rest from egg produe
tlon. Therefore, it Is belleved that
the best method of shortening the
period of broodiness consists in feed
ing the hens liberally on a good laying
ration. Such a ratlon should contain
a liberal percentage of animal pro
teln, such as meat scraps or tankage,
Avoid Cannibalism
After chicks reach a certaln size
they sometimes’ develop a brooder \ice
known us eannibalism. This eating
of one nrother Is usually the result of
too muny chicks confined in too small
quarters with not enough to do, Keep
the chicks busy at all times by giving
them eabbage, potatoes, onlons or
some other form of food at which to
pick. Do not cut these up, make the
chicks pick them to pleces, Cannibal
fem is less common where the chicks
are fed a correct ration. The habit
may be stopped by painting the
picked areas with pine or wood tar,

Carvings of Living Men
Faces of living men are carved fil
stone on the new building of the Im
perial Chemical industries, nearing
completion at Westminster, England.
One of the faces is that of the head
of the concern, Sir Alfred Mond. All
the other carvings are said to be ex
cellent likenesses of many men prom
inent in the chemical world.
The sculpture around the building
also includes figures of peacocks, which
are said to be there as a symbol of
incorruptibility, following the ancient
tradition that the flesh of the peacock
is incorruptible,
