SAVED DOLLARS These must be a great deal of truth- Total shipment of butter billed out of the state for the year ending September 30, 1S91, less 16 percent tare, pounds.
The best authorities estimate the home consumption of butter to be fifty pounds per capita or 100,000,000 pounds; to this add 68,690,715 pounds and we have as the total make of the state 168,690,715 pounds. Estimating this amount at twenty cents per pound gives 833,738,143 as the value of the butter industry of Iowa. Iowa is first both in. point of number and value of animals. Perhaps the ideal of perfection has been reached in production of the hog.
The limit of ail those points as early maturity, economy In preparing for market, size, symmetry, etc, appears to be reached. The skillful breeding and raising of swine is so general that the standard is practically uniform. There are preferences by the individual, or in neighborhoods for special varieties or crosses; and packers have a choice for various meats for different markets. But the end of improvement Is attained and there remains only the duty of maintaining it, and obviating- all cases of degeneracy The losses are given at 8.2 per'cent or 483,530" out of 5,921,100. Sheep.
From the statistics presented by lion. J.S.OrInnell it appears that in 1838 there were 384,000 sheep in the state; in 1845 there were in 18'JO there were 45,000. In 1839 the total value of sheep and wool was in 1888 it was 8295,000. The decline in numbers in Iowa has been quite rapid. In 1870 there were in 1880, and estimated number in January, 1891, 452,025.
Losses were, year ending April, 1891, out Of 452,025, 3 per cent, or 13.501. These were not from epidemics of disease but from exposure, not especially to the weather but to the dogs. There were imported in the year 1891, 9,606, a decrease of over the previous year of The value of the importation was Exports for the same year were 60,947, a decrease over 1890 of 6,574. Value of exports an Increase in value over the year previous of 818,032. William Sprole of Traer, Taina county, says he is greatly pleased with his experiments in the sheep business.
He invested in 130 ewes last winter. From them he had 112 lambs. He sold 8200 worth of wool and says the buck lambs will bring as much as the ewes cost. Twenty acres of pasture at most are all that the entire lot needs, and Mr. S.
says that they are the greatest weed destroyers he ever saw. His experienco so far leads him to believe sheep will pay in this locality the best of anything on the farm, provided ravages of dogs can be effectually stopped. Mr. Sprole leaves his flock in the pasture day and night. He fed them hay and a very little corn last winter, and is now putting up some oats in the sbeaf for them to winter on.
And it is affirmed in general that wool and manure pay for the keep of a sheep, as many flockmasters attest, and the lambs are all profit. What other class of stock will show as large a per cent of profits? Every farmer can keep ten sheep and most of them from fifty to one hundred. Grasses.

There were then! 3,037,210 acres of timothy yielding 299 tons of hay; 117,637 acres of clover producing 145,611 tons; 8,057 acres of Hungarian with 12,927 tons, 44,470 acres of millet producing 86,400 tons; or the, aggregate of four specified grasses is" 3,767,237 tons. At 85 per ton it reached Condition, Number and Value of Horses, Cattle, Hogs and Sheep Report on the Dairy and the Grass Crop of the following figures and remarks are gleaned from the annual report of.
the secretary of the Iowa agricultural society John II. Shaffer. The statistics" of the dairy are from the report of Commissioner A. Tuppcr. The information regarding various departments of the chief Industry of Iowa will possess much interest Jy those who carefully study the commer-ial welfare and advancement of the state: The imports for the year were value exports value $784,908, a decrease of imports over the previous year of and an increase in exports of $104,498.
The animals exported had an increased value per head of $58. Iowa's per cent-age of increase for the decade was 65.60. There is doubt, at this writing, Iowa leads all the other states in horses; and it may be added, without violence to the fact, that Iowa leads also in the pastures, the grasses, the grains, to feed them, to say nothing of the care and skill in cultivating the one and improving the other. Importations of different breeds continue, the animals going to every part of the state. It would be invidious to specify a few out of the scores of persons who are engaged in the laudable work of Improving the general character of the horses of the state.
There is no community which may not claim superior breeding a nimals of one or more of the favorite strains, and the general influence is observable in the size, form and other desirable qualities of the animals. From Berlin, Germany, an enthusiastic promoter of the trotting horse sends his mare to be bred to Allerton, the first instance of a mare being shipped across the ocean to be bred to an American trotter. Cattle. The census of 1885 gives the total number of milch cows, 992,313, cattle, grades, Shorthorns, Herefords, Iloistein, Jerseys, Black Polled, 194; Devon, 192; Ayrshire, 80; Red Polled, 65; others, 3,720, or a total of 410,967 grades and thoroughbreds, a grand total of The latest estimate of numbers are: Milch cows, other cattle, 2,680,247, or a grand total for this year of 3,058,849, an increase over 1885 of 448,375. There is a minimum statement of Increase, but the quality has been very materially improved.
This is evident on the farm, and in the market. Doubtless if a census could be taken now it would show a decided increase in all the favorite breeds; and a like decrease in the number of animals not improved by admixture with some one of the blooded kinds of cattle. The singularly fortunate adaptation of the state to the highest development of the dairy interest has caused the cultivation of special classes for the dairy. The increase of 448,375 in the number was largely in those classed as milch cows, 286,299. The losses in Iowa, given only in the year for the twelve months preceding, were 98,971, or 2.5 per cent.
The general condition In the spring was excellent, and it continued so during the year. There was no fatal epidemic, and the losses were very few, and these were confined to narrow limits, depending upon local influences. ths dairy. No. of Amount Cream- of buttor Counties.

Creede Chronicle. MARION MENTION. Great ana Very ago represents a greater cash value than the estimated value of all the sheep and mules, all the rye, barley, potatoes, flax seed, and orchard products of the year 1890. TIt is within about six million of dollars of the wheat crop and of the oat crop; and is more than half the value of all the butter and cheese product.
The estimate of tame hay for 1891 is 833,497,340, or more than the value of of the hogs, or of the milch cows, more than the crop of wheat or of oats. But the amount of hay made, the amount of the grasses cut and cured for winter feed is but a very small portion of the grass product. Is it one-third of it? If so It is worth as much as the corn crop. But it is less than one-twentieth of the crop. Then the is six or more times as valuable as the crop.
The grass feeds more than the one million horses andT'three million head of cattle, and six million head of hogs, all through the months and years of growth to maturity. The cured grasses, the hay, is but the small fragment of the crop which is preserved for the life of all this immense array of live stock, for the short period In winter when grazing is no longer possible.

An instance of this is furnished by the Lewis-ton Journal, of which paper Congressman Dingley is the editor and proprietor. The Journal says there are In the city of Lewiston eighteen clubs which receive and dispose of all kinds of liquors with a regularity that would meet the approbation of one of the most exacting residents of the state of Kentucky. The Journal prints the names of these clubs and declares that every day kegs of beer and whisky arrive at the railroad stations, the largest receipts being on Saturday. The esteemed Journal doesn't undertake to inform the: outside world what becomes of this large amount of liquor, but by the application of a very simple process of reasoning it is not out of the way to surmise that at least a portion of it is consumed by residents of Lewiston. It may be against the law.
According to the statutes ail intoxicating liquors are strictly barred; but according to the esteemed Journal, there Is a very logical reason for the existence of so many clubs in the lively little city of Lewiston.
