Shortage of 18,259,000 Meat
Animals.
Washington, D. C., Feb. 10.—
I The indicated total shortage of
meat animals since the census
of 1910 is nearly 9 beef cattle,
7 sheep and over 8 hogs for
each 100 of the total estimated
population of the United States
in January, 1914, according to
the estimates of the Depart
ment of Agriculture just pub
lished in the Agricultural Out
look. This means that it would
take 18,259,000 more meat cat
tle, sheep and swine than the
estimates show at present in
this country, to give the pres
ent population the same meat
supply that the census of 1910
showed to exist.
These estimates are based up
on reports and estimates from
the Department’s field and
state agents and county, town
ship and special corespondents,
who have reported on practical
ly every county in the United
States. The figures moreover
have been compared with those
of the census of 1910 and with
the records of tax assessors in
the various states as far as they
are available. The Department
therefore believe that these fig
ures represent the best infor
mation obtainable of the numb
| ers and values of live stock, in
cluding meat animals.
The estimate with regard to
meat animals, that is, cattle
other than milch cows, and sheep
and swine, indicate a steady
and a slight increase in the num
ber of swine.

Education And Youths On The
Farm.
Special to Independent.
Washington, D. C., Feb. 6.—
Farmers with a high-school edu
cation make nearly double the
average income of those with
merely a common school educa
tion and those who start earliest
make the most profits, accord
ing to the Department of Agri
culture’s investigators. The
Department’s office of Farm
Management has been conduct
ing a series of investigations in
the corn belt which have
brought out many details that
should be of practical value to
all agriculturists. These re-'
suits have just been published
in a new bulletin.
, Under average conditions the
farm, according to this bulletin,
is no place for the weak or for
those unable to direct work. The
man who intends to spend his
working life in the country
should start early, for success is j
not gained in a moment, but by j
many years of persistent effort.
It is true that some farmers
have made small fortunes in a
short time, but this is usually
through a phenomenal rise in
land values. Few men have be
come rich from the real profits
of the land. Those who have
done so usually needed a life
time in which to work. Through
skill in management and by hard
labor a comfortable living and
moderate profits may be ex
pected. Those persons who are
turning to the farm with the
idea of reaping large incomes
are doomed to severe disappoint
ment.
Those making the poorest in
comfes were 28 years of age
when they started farming and
were past 30 when they became
owners. On the average the
oldest men are making the least
profits.
! Many farmers with very little
| schooling succeed, but these
I same men would do better if
' they had the opportunity of fur
ther training. No one ever
I hears a farmer regret that he
i spent a part of his early life in
school.

itself. It is called character, and every act is a sto

An institution, in order to have a good character,i
think honestly, act honestty, breathe honesty,
people soon determine between the genuine am
