WAR WILL ADD $500,000,000 TO OUR FOREIGN COMMERCE. Estimated Increase for One Year by Edward E. Pratt. Washington, Dec. 2—That one year of the war in Europe will add $500,- 000,000 to the foreign comimerce of the United States is the estimate of Ed- ward E, Pratt, chief of the bureau of foreign ‘and domestic commerce. Mr. reports of American consuls and com- mercial representatives abroad, of agents: of his bureau in this country, and of the mew orders for American manufactures and products reported in commercial periodicals. If the ratio of increase recorded since August, when the war began, is main- tained until next August, he estimated that new orders placed on the books of American firms will total half a billion dollars. In reaching his estimate of the esti- mated grand total, Mr. Pratt took into consideration the enormous increase in European-bound food supplies noted in September and October. Detalls of November foreign commerce are ot available as yet beyond the estimate that a trade balance in favor of the United Stafes of _$70,000,000 will be shown. Department officiais are aware, however, that the increase in food shipments has continued and that man- tured articles are beginning to move across the Atlantic in consider- able volume.

Pratt has just-completed a study of the EASY MONEY IN SHEEP. Every Farmer With Forty Acres Should Have Some. “Keep all the sheep your spare pas- ture will support, writes D. A. Mc- Comb in Farm and Fireside = And for sheep pasture you can count every nook, fence corner, and brier thicket where no other stock will do any good. Sheep can be relied on not only to help clean up the farm but to gather up young weeds, briers, fence-corner grass, and thistles and actually turn them into your bank account or your pocketbook. And when I say this, 1 am speaking from real experience. On our farm we have 35 ewes. We al- ways winter that many. we keep a thoroughbred buck. We breed 80 t our lambs come in March. “A year ago last fall our sheep money was $206. This we could al- most “call clear gain at least it was almost self-made money; made while we slept and while we awere busy doing other work on the farm. “Later in the season when we thought the market suited us we had |»; 35 nice lambs to sell. The money we got for them was made from material which would otherwise have gone to ‘waste, and it was,made almost with- out mny effort or cost on our part. Then the ewes and ram, in the wool crop, will just about even up with you every year for their keeping. So we have come to call the sheep money the easiest clear money on the farm. “Every farmer with forty acres or more should always have some sheep. Go at it according to the capacity of your fence corners and other iittle nooks and places of nipping for keep- ing them without special feedinz.” TRIMMING TREES.

This is of course t0o strong to give the hens, but this bottle should be kept near the drinking fountain and then as a pail of water is drawn enough permangan- ate solution should be added to give the water a wine color. This should be used as a preventive no mat- ter how healthy the hens are now, for they are very susceptible to colds at this time of year. Poultry Rations.
