American Monsters.

There was period in the history Of this
continent when elephants and mammoths
were numerous. Which of the two lived
first, or whether they lived Mt the same
time, cannot be determined. But that the
mammoth far exceeded the elephant in
stature il abundantly proven by their skel-
etons. They appear to have had range
from regions Of the Ohio River, and plains
Of the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers.

Probably the Rocky Mountains had not

roamed over that vast extent Of country in

A paper in the journal Of the Royal
Agricultural Society Of England" ON the
grass lands Of the United kingdom, with
reference to the present and prospective
capability for the meat production, gives
some interesting information. The GUAM
tity of meat consumed in the British Isimnds
in 1871 was l, al, 181 tons, Of which ], ,266, :
47S tons were supplied by home-bred ami
mails, 81 ,57S tons by imported animals, and
80, 126 tons consisted Of imported provis-
ions from Australia. This was an excess
over 1871 Of upwards Of 1900 tons. Al
most one-hah Of the increase consisted OF
imported provisions, one-third was the re-
suit Of improved home productions, and
one-sixth was from imported animals. The
total production, home and imported, gives
6fty-six pounds Of meat in the year to
every man, woman and child in the United
Kingdom, or little over q pound a week
OF beef, mutton or swine meat. This be-
wildering profusion of meat food, in which
the British people revel, might be better
appreciated if the division were more equal
" distributed but, unfortunately, some
get many duphcations Of that arithmetical
pound q week" Of the Roast Beef of
OAu EN&1AAAu, Wu1hC WIN q very large
number q piece Of meat il 20 rare that its
adventis considered o red letter day in their
uneventful existences. The object of the
author Of the paper il TO show that rapid
increase in the production Of the domestic
animals can be secured by nm improvement
of the grass lands. He maintains that the
latter could be made to easily meet the de-
mand for increased production, and that
money laid out in improving them brings a
larger return than when expended in ara
bic land. If this be 70 in England, il
there any reason why it should be different
in our Northern States, where the cultiva-
tion Of cereals has become Improbable
through the overAowing abundance OF the
great West The distance between the
points Of meat production and consumption
u continually increasing, and in felt in the
enhanced price of butcher meat. 1t would
appear that there might be eventually, il
