Mules for the Slaughter.

(New York, October 19—Twentyfive thousand mules for the allies will be shipped from here in a fewweeks, making $160,000,000 worth of mules and horses taken from this country since the war opened. The quantity of standing timber now owned by the farmers of the Vnited States reaches a huge total. It is estimated to exceed 250 billion feet of saw timber and 1 1-3 billion cords of cordwood.—Yearbook, 1914, U. S. Dept, of Agriculture. The Australian government last year sent a commissioner to study the methods of the rapid and enormous distribution of fresh fish in Great Britain.
