Nebraska Leads Corn Belt in Sheep Feeding Estimate of Increase Over Last j Year Is 26 Per Cent— Start to Market in March. That Nebraska had approximately three-fourths of a million* sheep and Iamlw on feed, December 1, Is brought out by the division of crop and live stock estimates. Perhaps of greater In terest is the fact that Nebraska has over 26 per cent of the total number of sheep and lambs on feed In the 11 sorn belt states. Actual railroad receipts of lambs and sheep at "feeder stations total 707,#00 head. In adrttlon' to an esti mate of 65,000 head driven direct from the stockyards to feed lots In Douglas county. The total Is 762,000 head as compared to 636,000 head lust year, a 20 per cent Increase. The Scottsbluff section has 140,000 head as compared to 100,000 head last year. The Platte valley -300,(100 head.- Douglas county 90.000 head, Humboldt 39,000 head, as compared to 27,000 head last year, und the balance of the state. In scattered areas, 193,000 head. Hulk Are I.ambs. From the Individual feeder returns it appears that .-7 per cent of the number on feed in Nebraska are sheep and 93 per cent lambs. Of the total number, 93 per cent are western lambs und sheep, and 7 per cent na tives. Information us to the time of marketing was not very complete, but Indicated that the great hulk of fat sheep and lambs would be ready In February and March. There were approximately 20 per cent more sheep and lambs on feed for all sections of the country than last year. The 11 corn belt states show an Increase of 10 per cent. East of the Mississippi river, Michigan has the largest increase with 26 per cent, and Illinois 10 per cent. West of the river, Nebraska and Kansas show the only Increases, estimated at 20 per rent in each state. Nebraska is the largest feeder of lambs and sheep In the corn belt and it is this increase that is largely responsible for the In crease throughout the corn belt states. In the western irrigated region of the country, the estimated increase is 23 per cent fo rthe whole region and practically nil of the states show an Increase except Montana. In Colorado) the Increase Is 30,per cent, front 1, 000,000 to 1.300,000 head, the largefft since 1914. In Idaho, the incVease is estimated at 15 per cent for the state as a whole, with an Increase of 30 per cent in the Twin Falls, Jerome and Gooding sections, of which 600,000 head are controlled by one large pack ing interest. This Idaho stock is mostly on stubble and hay and will be grain finished at feeding stations ud jneent to the large markets. There is an approximate increase in Utah of 100 per cent over lastdS-’ear, from 94.000 to 188,000 head. Increase Over Last Year. The movement of feeding sheep and lambs out of all public stockyards four months, August 1 to December 1, this year, was 2,768,000. against 2.201.000 last year, and 3,280,000 in 1020. The movement into the five 1 eastern corn belt states during this , same time was 546,000, against. 504,000 last year, and 679,000 in 1920; into the six western corn belt states it was 932,000, against 957,000 last year and 1.391.000 in 1920, but in addition to this movement from markets is the much larger direct morement into Nebraska, not going through mar kets, which accounts for the inct-ease in these slates. According to the expressed inten tion of corn belt feeders the numbers on feed December 1 will be moved to market as follows: 31 per cent in De cember, . 35 per cent in January, 15 rer cent 1n February, 14 per cent in March and 4 per cent in April for the eastern states, and 25 per cent in De cember, 32 per cent in January, 28 per cent in February, 8 per cent in March and 7 per cent after April 1 for the western states, with the bulk ot tho western Nebraska shipments, in February and March. '■ Of those on feed, 7fc per cent are lamba and 22 per cent sheep east of the m'er, and 84 per cent latnbs and 16 per cent sheep west. In the western irrigated regions, there is some evidence that the lambs going on feed are considerably heav ier than last year, and that a larger percentage of them are northern bred. This, with the increasing cost of grain and hay, may result in an ear lier movement than usual. The Farmer’s Wife By MARY ANN GRAY. Curing and Canning of Pork—Home curing of pork is an old practice which has come into style again. Af ter the hog is killed nnd dressed the housewife’s work begins. The dry cure is preferred to brine packing, and this method is advised by state col lege specialists* For each 100 lbs. of meat use S lbs. of salt, 2'i lbs. sirup warmed slightly, 2 oz. saltpeter, 3 oz. black pepper and 2 oz. red pepper. Mix ingredients well and rub mixture over meat; pack away In barrel and after third day repack tb insure • thorough contact with cure. For each individual piece of meat, per pound, allow; 2 days' cure, as. a 10 lb. piece of pork should have 20 dnya’ curing. Then hang away without washing off. In this method be sure not to omit saltpeter. Pure pork sausage is made from this recipe: 65 ll>s. fresh lean meat, 35 lbs. fat, l*i lbs. salt, 1 oz. ground nutmeg, 2 oz. fine sage and 4 oz. black pepper. Cut meat in small pieces, sdd spice, put through finest grinder Mix thoroughly to get seasoning nutform. If sausage is to be stored in bulk do not add water, but a little is necessary if the meat Is to be put In casings. This sausage can be made from trim mings and the only equipment needed is a meat cutter with stuffer attach * meht. Sausage keeps well in stone crocks covered with a thick layer of paraffin. Pickled Pigs' Feet—Soak in salt pickle fbr several days, then boil feet until done, but remove front kettle before meat separates from the bone. Split feet lengthwise, place in jar and cover with vinegar to which bay leaves, allspice and pej#ed are added !Sale Starts 9 A. M.
