The total clip of wool In the United
States for 1907 was 298,294,750 pounds,
Including the washed and unwashed
product. Of the total output there
were 130,350,118 pounds of scoured
wool, valued at $7S,203,105.
About the easiest money made on
American farms, entailing no drain
upon the fertility or the soll, is that re
turn secured from the flocks of sheep
which consuie the largely waste vege
table growths to he found thereon.
There are four things that a farmer
of good health Is Justified in going into
debt for-namely, tiling the wet acres
on his farm. a manure spreader. fences
that will enable im!1 to keep sheep and
a soft water cistern for the good house.

Oil of lemon in aleahol and plain kero

Tle callfornia orange harvest is now
well on, and the crop, both in quality
and quantity. promises to establish a
new record. It is estimated that the
total output of oranges of the state
will reachl 30.000 carloads, which
means 0,000.000 boxes, or about 1,350,
000,000 oranges. The harvest will last
until July 1.

the several states and territories for

more serviceable disposal of the money.
Of an estimated total forest area in
the confines of the United States of
700,000,000 acres the amount in state
or national reserves is placed at 22 per
cent., while the rest is in unreserved
public lands or private tracts. The to

For a number of years following the
introduction of the culture 'of sugar
beets In this country in 1887 the Indus
try was at a standstill. By 1803 the
production of, beet sugar had reached
22,844 short toni. In 1901 It was 184,
000, while last year the total output'
was 500,000 short tons. The increase
noted Is due chiefly to the extending of
the culture of the sugar beets in the
irrigation sections of the west rather
than to its adoption in sections where
there is sufficient rainfall to produce
the ordinary tilled farm crops.
With a view to freeing themselves
from the dictation of beef prices by
the ChIcago packing houses, a group
of central Iowa farmers have lately
shipped a carload of fine beeves direct
to Portland, Me., where they will be
loaded for shipment to England. A
prior shipment direct to the Liverpool
market resulted In their receiving such
good prices that they were led to try
the plan again. There would seem to
be rn good reason why this method
could not be followed right .along
whenever Chicago or other packing
house centers were not paying a fair
price.
A report which we have seen circu
lated, but not yet verified, is that Iowa
farmers are taking advantage of the
excessively high prices of butter by
selling their entire product at top notch
New York prices and are importing for
their own use oleomargarine from the
Chicago packing houses. The writer
is disposed to brand this as fiction, as
Iowa farmers possess a reputation for
good sense as well as a desire to make
money In dairying. If the charge isI
true in any sense, it is probably the
folks who don't have any cows at all
that are lubricating their flapjacks
with oleomargarine.
While he may show a very humble
and democratic spirit in so doing, a
boy or man is a traitor to himself and
the times in which he lives if he is
content to do drudge work and does
not take steps to fit himself to do the
highest class of work of which .h1 is j
capable. Not only is this argument
justifiable from the standpoint of the
wage which one will receive, but car
ried out extensively it wil reduce the,
number of those who are. by circum
stance or necessity destined to do the
rough work of life and thereby insure
them better pay for their labor. One
will always find a better paying posi
tion higher up in the industrial scale if
he only (it* himself to perform Its
duties.
