THE BEEF TRADE.
From the Ohio Farmer ]

The high price Of beef is attracting
considerable attention to this interest
as paying investment. A recent letter
written by Mr.. James S. Brisbin to the
New York Herald will not have tend
ency to check the growing interest, at
least. He declares that the cattle busl-
ness out west is the best paying business
man can invest in, and Will De Tor ten
wears to come. He fOrtifieS his assertion
by statistics showing that the prOduc-
tiOn of cattle alone does not begin to
keep up with the increase of population.
In 1910 we had 100 head of cattle for
each 100 of population; now we have
only about 30 to the 100. Three years
ago he predicted a beef panic in 1882
and beef famine in 1882. The panic
came as predicted, and whether the
famine comes or not depends upon the
means taken, promptly, to avert it. He
says:
in beef famine for the last ten years,
though we did not know it. A four
year-Old- d-steer can be raised on the plains
for 81, and the meatOf the animal ought
not to command in any part of the United
States over 10 cents per pound dressed.
That cattle raiser should make 20, 80,
40, and even so per cent. per annum
profit on the money he has invested in
cattle is outrageous, but he Will yet
make still more than that if more peO-
pie do not &C. into stock raising as a
business"
"For the next ten years believe cat
tie raising will be one of the most lu-
cratiye callings in the United States,
and those who have the good fortune to
be able to engage in it will rapidly
grow rich. The best way is to associate
capital and raise cattle in large num-
bers. In the west it is not so difficult to
raise cattle for beef as in the east. The
cattle run out all the winter long, and
no shelter or food is required for them
except that which nature provides.
Every year the stock men start the story
east for the benefit of the 'tender-feet'
that the stock business is OverdOne and
the Oflod ranges all taken. This is done
to prevent new men from going into
the business. The stock men know they
have a good thing, and wish to keep 1T
as long as possible. They would like to
see beef 81 per pound, and would ask
800 for a steer worth ten dollars
without the slightest cOmpunctiOn of
conscience if they thought they could
get it.
doubt if l would write this letter; but
unfortunately, not having any heard of
my own, l am only interested in getting
beef as cheaply as possible from those
who have herds. l hope soon to see
more people and more capital engageib
in cattle raising and beef brought to
some reasonable price by reason OF Its
abundance; and | have no hesitation Ill
saying that associated capital engaged
in beef raising out west Will pay an
annual dividend of twenty-fOur per cent
if it is all properly managed"

Walter Scott on the Literary PrOfes.
sion

The following characteristic postscript
to an unpublished letter of Sir Walter
SCOTS has been placed at our disposal
by the courtesy of the correspondent to
whom it was addressed. It gives in a
foTcible form SCOTS well-known opinion
Of literature as a profession. 1t is dated
February 2, 1923, when Scott was hard
at work on "The Fair Maid of Perth :"
"Will you excuse my offering piece
of serious advice? Whatever pleasure
you may find in literature, beware of
looking to it as profession, but seek
that independence to which every one
hopes to attain by studying the branch
of industry which lies most within your
reach. In this case you may pursue
your literary amusements honorably and
happily, but if ever you have to look to
literature for an absolute and necessary
support you must be degraded by the
necessity of writing whether you feel in
clined or not, and besides, must suffer
all the miseries of precarious and de-
pendent existence"
This letter was addressed to the Rev.
Charles Room, under the impression that
Mr.. Room, then a young man, proposed
making literature 8 profession. This,
however, was not the ease, as Mr.. Room
was at that time preparing to enter the
Christian ministry. -AcGdensy

Fatal Boiler Explosion.

The explosion of boiler in Wesler & Barnes
saw-mill, at Stone, Randolph county, Ind, was
attended with shocking loss of life. The en-
ployes had just gone to work and some of them
were adjusting the pump which feeds the
boiler. There was very heavy head of steam
on, and the pump commenced working,
throwing cold water into the boiler when
suddenly there was deafening explosion. AS
soon as citizens could gather it was found
that the following persons were instantly
killed: Hodson Clark, Robert Randall George
Wesler, William Yankee, Lewis Mann, William
Fleming. In addition to this shocking death
lista number of persons were hurt some of them
quite severely. The dead victims of the explo-
sion were frightfulIy mutlated. Wesler's body
was found partly wrapped around post, with
all of the large bones broken, his head split
and CRATE bar sunken in his face. Robert
Randalrs head was smashed flat, ard
one eye and the temple gone Hold
son Clark had his throat cut with
a piece of iron or splinter, and the back part
of his head was pinched off. William Yankees
head was in the same condition, and his brains
ran out on the ground. A piece of the casting

tanned from gentleman who was pres
and Gen. Hancock, and who authorizes
IFS publication, although I am not at
liberty to make public his name at pres
ent. The statement is as follows:
"Ihe New York World being the
leading Democratic paper, its editor,
Mr.. Hurlbut, was in constant commune
cation with the Democratic nominee,
Gen. Hancock. 1t was not until quite
late IN the canvass of 1880 that Mr..
Gould appeared to take any interest in
the Democratic side of the question.
Just prior to the October election Mr..
Hurlbut told Gen. Hancock that Mr..
Gould desired to have an interview with
INN IN reference to the canvass and with
view to furuhering the interests of the
Democratic candidate. The interview
was held at Governors Island in the
evening, and occupied several hours
Mr. Gould going over for that purpose
with Mr.. HurIbut. The subject of the
probable result in Indiana was especially
under consideration; and the result Of
the conference was that Mr.. Gould pro-
posed to send money to Indiana for the
purpose, ii necessary, of influencing the
result there in favor of the Democratic
candidate. Mr.. Hurlbut agreed to go
to Indlanapo is in person and take the
money with him. The sum which Mr.,
Gould was willing to use for that pur-
pose was about $4,000. Mr.. Hurlbut
did go to Indiana just day or two be-
fore the election, and was there during
the election. The result, of course, is
well known to have been unfavorable to
the Democratic side; but whether Mr..
Hurlbut used the money in the canvass
is not known"
This is where part of the Demo
cratic campaign funds come from. Mr..
English was Chairman of the Indiana
Democratic Campaign Committee, and
undoubtedly had GolIld's $4,000 paid
into his hands, deposited it i'll his own
bank and disbursed it in a way that he
thought would contribute most toward
the election Of Hancock and English.
Probably it was desicacy on his part
that prevented him from making pub
lie this donation to the Democratic
" corruption fund :" and he may feel
grateful to me for doing it for him.
The New York World, it will be
borne in mind, is Mr.. Gould's personal
property. He is the sole owner, with
the possible exception of few shares
held by others; and Mr.. Hurlbut is his
hired editor. If the Cincinnati En-
qlt5rer wishes to complete and perfect
the English narrative, it will not fail to
copy the foregoing addition to the
RECORD.

Rare American Coins.

The rarest United States coin is the
double eagle of 1849, of which there is
only one in existence, belonging to the
United States mint cabinet. The next
in rarity is the half-eagle of 1916, for
one of which it is said the King of
Sweden, to complete his collection of
United States coins, paid the enormous
price of 50, 000 Only five known speci-
mems of this half eagle are in existence.
Another rare coin is the silver dollar of
1904. There are but ten genuine pieces,
all Of which are now held by collectors.
Several restrikes have been made, but

Public Spirit.
DR.. j. G. Holland.

There is no point at which personal
meanness betrays itself so strongly
end surely as it does when brought into
relation to schemes of public improve
ment. Set subscription paper going
through community, to raise money
for some public object, and it will usual
ly slft out the mean men as certainly as
screen will sift the dust from bushel
OF coal. We have a great many men
who are not stingy with their families,
who are by no means parsimonious, yet
who have insuperabie objections to Civ
ing away anything that does not minis
ter directly to their personal comfort or
qualification. A church is wanted, or a
public library, or park, or something
else for the common benefit, and the
want and the effort to meet it furnish a
very reliable test of the character OF
those appealed to. We have rich men
IN every community so VIGOROUSLY
sfngy, and so unfriendly 20 every
scheme of public improvement that they
are not even approached for a contribu-
ton. On the other hand we have men
in every community who have what we
call "public spirit" Nothing that can
minister to the general good ever re-
celves cold welcome from them, nor
niggardly response to its appeal.
Very few men are SO stolidlY selfish
that they cannot see that membership in
family involves certain duties toward
the family-support, protection, mutual
assistance. The head of the family-no
matter how selfish and stingy he may be
recognizes the fact that he owes to
that family shelter, sustenance, clothing,
education, etc. Very few, too, fail to
see that, as citizens, they owe certain
duties to the town they live in, to the
State, to the nation. They pay their
taxes and expect to pay them. It cannot
be said that they always do this willingly
or honestly, but they know that they
must pay something for the laws that
protect them, for the roads that give
them passage across the country, and for
the support of the government AS
heads Of families and citizens of the
State, they apprehend the fact that they
owe duties whose fulfillment costs
money. What is necessary beyond this
is that they should see that membership
in social community involves duties
just as really and distinctly as family
ties or citizenship. No man can belong
to social communities all men do
who are not hermits- without having
imposed upon him great many duties.
He owes it to that community to make
it, so far as he can, intelligent, comfort.
able, respectable. There is no wise
scheme of improvement to which he
does not owe his support and encourage
ment; and he cannot turn his back upon
eny such scheme without failure in the
Offices Of goodsheighborhood, or without
convicting himself of a mean selfshness
gnat is disgraceful to him, and to thu
h1nily and town to which he belongs.

It will be seen that New York had 80 mem
bers under the census of 1859. on a basis of
only 23S total, and now gers but 81 on a total
of 3s5. Ohio makes no gain. Pennsylvania
gains 8, Indiana 2, Massachusetts 1, Georgia 2.
Counting the two Virginias together the gain is
/. kentucky gains l. Alabama l, North Caro-
lima ], T ennessee none.
The great gains are made by the Western
States. Thus Illinois advances from 8 mem
bers in 1859 to q in 1889, more than doubling.
Iowa bounds from to II Wisconsin from 8 to
8; Michigan from 4 to il; Kansas from in
1869 to Z in 1880 Minnesota from to 5; Ne
braska from / in 1850 to now.
The only Southern State which makes nota-
bic bound forward is Texas, and that is a big
one-being from in 1850 to II in 1889. The
table is worth studying and preserving.
