It would seem that Lincoln county

America the population has grown ,
fastor than domostle animals have
boon ralsod. An onilnont authority
Btates that wo have twenty per cont (
nioro peoplo In the Unltod Statos and
! two por cent fowor beof cattle than
i fifteen years ago. Tho same Is truo ,
1 In varying degrees of sheep, hogs am: ,
I poultry. War has greatly reduced tho
livestock ot Europe and In no other
part ot tho world have Increases in
' flocks and herds been largo enough
to counterbalance thoso losses. Amer
ica needs moro and better livestock
than over before. Tho demand for
moats, oggs and dairy produco In the
next flvo years seoms to bo bottor as
sured than for anything oIbo that can
bo named.
