Spectators are disappointed at the Treasury
semi-ofacia1 announcement that the issue OF new
legal-tenda1s will, for time, not exceed
e3,eo0, 600, and that these notes will probably bt

pressing emergency. An announce
ment from Washington, late in thu
day, that a further amount ol
s500, 900 jega1-tender notes had been reissueG
failed to arouse any enthusiasm. In fact, the

THE FArTENING OF CATTLE.

The great trouble is that we do not get
money enough for our meat. The con-
sumers in our cities have to pay money
enough for it, but the money does not seem
to 1nd its way into the farmerS pockets
II want q beefsteak, the butcher viii
charge me eighteen cents pound for 1t.
and it is not unfrequently very poor stuff
at that. Ii l want to sell carcass OF
beef should probably get no more than
seven cents pound
do not say that the butchers make ex-
orbitant profits. One would think there
is competition enough TO prevent this. /
suppose one trouble is that our beef Is not
so good as it should be. There is too
much bone, tallow, and inferior parts of
the carcass in proportion to the choice
cuts. We want better bred animals.
One of my neighbors has thirty. two
year old steers. Il am overstocked," said
he, land l want to sell them, and all that
those rascally butchers will offer me is
S35 per head" presume they offer him
about what they are worth to kill. But
why kill them9 To make them into really
good beef they want twelve months Of
really good feeding. Many farmers In
this section seem to have come to the con-
clusion that it does not pay to feed cattle,
and are selling off everything that the
butchers will take. The consequence is
that the meat market is flooded with irfe-
rior beef that must be sold at low price,
and is dear at that. 1t seems to me that
those who have good young animals
should hold on to them, and give them
good feed. But i'll bred, inferior animals
may as well be sold as not. It is impos-
sible to fatten them in winter or keep them
over to good advantage. e.-An,erscan Ag-
,tculturist. .
