The number of horses and other cattle on farms in Indiana decreased 2 per cent last year while milk cows and sheep made a gain of 2 per cent and 8 per cent respectively. The number of mules remained approximately tho same as a year ago, but swine decreased 3 per cent according to the report issued today by the co-operative crop reporting service for Indiana. Prices per head for horses, mules, other catle and swine show a decline, but for milk Jcows and sheep a slight increase is shown. The report follows:The number of horses on Indiana farms decreased 2 per cent during j the past year, but the number of mules on hand remained approximatcly the same as a year ago. The estimate for horses January 1, 1924, iis hS2,000 head and for mul 101 000 head. Individual reports also show ■.I i '‘ewer colts were foabd in 1923 • than the pre oding year or for many years. Automobiles, trucks and tractors continue to supplant horses and mules on farms to a great exjtent, making them a very unprofit- ; able product when produced for the | market for prices are still on the downward trend. The estimated value of all horses | in Indiana is place I t $45,012,000 compared with $51,504,000 for last year. For mules the value this year is estimated to be $7,070,000 compared with $7,777,000 last year. , An increase of 2 per cent is shown in the number of milk cows on Indiana f.r ms January 1, 1924, the estimated number being 757,000 head compared with 742,000 head January 1, 19?3. The quality of this class of livestock- continues to improve and Indiana is now the leading state in the number of accredited herds of tubercular tested cat-

tle.

The average price of milk cows for the state, January 1 1. was $55. per head, an increase of $2.00 over ' | last year. The total value of all [cows and heifers kept for milking purposes Is estimated to be $41, 035,000 compared with $39,326,000 last

year.

The number of all other cattle in the state January’ 1, 1924, was 2 per cent less than a year ago on the same date and includes all cattle and (calves, except cows and heifers kept for dairy purposes. The total num'ber is estimate to be 779,000 head j compared with 794.000 head last year. The total value this year is | estimated to be $24,694,000 compar- | ed with $25,726,000 or an average of about 70 cents less per head. While there seems to be an increase in | feeding operations, especially in the northern part of the state, there is also an apparent shortage of cows and heifers. This is probably due to the labor situation more than any

other thing.

The number of sheep on Indiana farms made an increase of 8 per cent over last year, the estimate being 700,000 head, compared with 648,000 head on hand January 1, 1923. Feeding operations were somewhat in excess of last year and the number of breeding ewes also seems to be increasing. The price is approximately 40 cents a head better than a year ago and the total value is estimated to be $5,880,000 compared with $5,184, 000 last year. The demand for good stock is quite brisk and the industry continues in a favorable condition in view of experiences during the last few years A decrease of 3 per cent in the number of swine on Indiana farms January 1, this year is primarily the result of heavy marketing, during the past few months, of sows and gilts intended for breeding purposes. The number on hand is estimated to he 3.880.000 head, compared with 4,000,000 head January 1, 1923. The average value per head is $2.10 less than last year and the total falue is estimtod to be $38,024,000 compared with $17,600 000 a year ago.

NEW LESPEDEZA VARIETY IS OK PURDUE FINDS

LAFAYETTE, Ind., Jan. 28—A new variety of lespedeza tried out by the Purdue University Agricultural Experiment Station the past season gives promise of becoming a most valuable pasture legume for the thinner acid pasture lands of the state.

TIPS ON CLEANING HEADLAMBS “When I see a > ung lady putting rouge on her face it always makes me think of the i lamps on my automobile,” sa>s Art huh G. Zeller, President of th. Mu' igun State Automobile School, Detroit. “My lamp- ar, fitted with highly polished silver plated reflectors and the problem is to find something that will keep them clear and clean without producing a myriad of small scratches. Each scratch is an insignificant thing in itself but when the entire surface of the reflector is covered with them the efficiency of the headlamp is seriously impaired. “Of all the things I have tried, high grade rouge moistened with alcohol is the one that cleans and polishes best .without scratching. “It is an excellent idea when cleaning the reflector of a headlight to use a soft clean cloth and to rub from the rim toward the center of the reflector, rather than to rub around and around. “Mud splashes on the headlight glass should be gently soaked off with plenty of warm water and a soft cloth or soft sponge. A few drops of household ammonia in the water will aid in thoroughly cleaning the glass; but take care not to get the ammonia on the finish of the car as it will have a bad effect.”

INDIANAPOLIS LIVE STOCK

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 29—Heavy receipts of 14,000 caused hog prices to drop 10 cents hero today. The drop occurred in the face of fairly strong buying by shippers and packers. With the exception of a few fancy heavyweights which sold at $7.40 all weights were marketed at $7.35. Both sows and pigs were weak to 25* cents lower, pigs selling at $6.75 down and sows $6.25 down. Cattle prices ruled steady. With large buyers interested some competition developed for prime cattle. Receipts were 1.200. In the face of fairly large receipts of 800, calf prices advanced-50 cents to $1 to a practical top of $16 for choice veals. The bulk sold at $15.50 to $16. A few odd fancies sold above $16. Native fed lamb quotations were 25 to 50 cents higher at $13.25 down, while sheep ruled firm at $7 down. Receipts were 500.

AN OLD SHEET o INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 29—What may bo a copy of the “Nineveh News” of 2,500 years ago is on exhibition in the State museum here. A sun-dried brick covered with cuneiform writing—a curious system of wedge-shaped marks—unearthed by a missionary on the site of Nineveh, famous city of the ancients, has been presented to the meseum. Such bricks were used for writing letters and books. The inscription on this brick hag not been disciphered. It is estimated that slaves made the brick about 750 B. C.

By EDWARD B. CLARK Washington.—Georgetown is In the •ity of Washington, and today a good- . ly part of the population of Washington is moving into Georgetown. The j shift of what tnti.v he culled social cen,its in Washington is interesting to ; note. Down-at-the-heel Georgetown Is . becoming very much up-at-the-heel. ^ | Georgetown, named lor one of the ^ Georges of England, is a much older I place than Washington, once it "as: an independent municipality, but to- , day u is included within the capital, ; the two together, plus some outlying j land, making up the District of Lolunt- |

bia.

Prior to the days when George j Washington, Father of His Country, and Major L’Knfnnt, French engineer, j looked over the site of the future city S of Washington, Georgetown had established within its limits certain j households the members of which looked upon themselves even then as | ‘•old families.” For years the old families of Georgetown looked down • patronizingly in a social cense on the j new families of Washington, and so | certain were they In their way that j they were betl“r tl an their new neigh- | hors that they actually held in some- | thing like social contempt such mighty ones as the presMents of the United I States as they successively moved into : the White House. Some of the descendants of these 1 old families still live in Georgetown, but us is the way sometimes with old families considerable numbers of them have died out. When Washington was established there came here certain families who In the persons of their [ descendants have remained here ever ] since. These early Washington comers j plus the surviving households of the early ones of Georgetown collectively j are called “the cave dwellers." Even : to this day these cave dwellers keep to a considerable extent to themselves | and have, it Is said, a disdain ns lofty j as Mt. St. Albans for anybody who lias come to Wasldngton since, say, the year 1850. Georgetown in Decay. As some of the old Georgetown families perished from the face of the earth in the ordinary course of nature, their mansions, us they were called, were given over to become the abodes of the lowly laborer and in some instances the tenement residences of numbers of the colored folk. Georgetown, except In Pertain parts where the cave dwellers still kept to their caves, became what some persons would call decadent. At any rate, a good deal of its social glory had passed and the beauty of its old houses became tarnished with time, while the park-like grounds with which many of the houses were and still are surrounded were allowed to run into a sort of wilderness riot of

vegetation. About ten
