tory system has developed another great
,rinciple-the means of producing
cheap food. An abundance of cheap,
nutrIcious food is essential to the highest
civilization of any nation. Poverty and
crime always accompany scarcity OF
food. Cheap food 10 one of the elements
of the intellectual progress of the Ameri-
can people. The increase of our popula
ton is attended by scarcity of meats,
and the price is already beyond tue
means of the poor, and this difficulty
must be still further increased. Il is an
urgent question what other form Of ami
mai food can be substitute d for beef In
the opinion of the speaker, the dairy
must be the means of solving the Difficult
ty.
To illustrate this meaning more fully,
Mr. Willard drew compa rison between
the relative cost of producing beef and
| cheese. E
| A lood steer at four years old will
produce 600 pounds of beef; and three
will produce 5000 pounds net. A co.
will yield from 500 to 600 pounds OF
cheese per year. Taxing her product at
450 pounds per year for IL years, allowing
nothing tor the first two years Of her life,
gives $500 pounds of wholesome TODD.
In other words, three steers representing
IL years growth give 5000 pounds
against $500 pounds from the com in the
same time. @
A pound OF cheese being equal to two
pounds of beef in nutritive va ue,
increases the difference still more, giving
1000 pounds of food from the dairy to
5000 pounds of meat. The loss of bone
and Cost of cooking add still another

operator declares that city property
there will not yield five per cent above
expenses. The trouble is in the specula

rises five hundred or thousand dollars
with each sale, So that finally it has doub-

being spent on it for improvement or
