THE BEEF SUPPLY Notwithstand-
ing the nor advance made in
cattle-raising during the past twenty
years or so, the increased supply, even
in favorable seasons, has not been at
all commensurate with the increase in
the demand for beef. The ratio of in
in cattle is less than that In
population, so that even with no change
in dietetic habits the demand for beef
would tend steadily to outrun the sup
ply. But our appetite for beef increase s
much more rapidly than our numbers.
The marketman makes his daily rounds
with fresh beef in hundreds Of commu-
mites where salt pork was eaten almost
exclusively twenty-five years ago; and
generally throughout the country beef
has largely displaced pork on the tables
Of farmers, mechanics, and well-to-do
people. This partly because of the uni
versal improvement in the scale of
popular living due to general prosperity,
but more, perhaps, to the influence Of
active school of would-be health
reformers who have persistcntly decried
pork as an article Of food, and created
widespread and unreasonable preju-
dice against it. Leaving out of CON
any possible increase in the
demand for beef for expectation, we
may reasonably anticipate that the
home demand for beef will continue to
as fast, if not faster, than the
population does; and there can be no
marked decline from the present excess
Sive prices until the supply of beef-cat-
tie is brought up to the level Of popular
requirements. -lScientifc American.
SHORT HoRSs.-C. p. Organ of the
firm Of Organ & Draper while east re-
purchased 100 head of fine short
horns intending them for the FIRMS
ranch near Fort Laramie, which how
ever was sold during his absence. The
are purchased however and Wyo
ming will reap the benefit of the blood.
Street.-The drive of sheep this sea-
has not been a source of large profit.
The high purchase prices and the low
market price, reduces the margin to
such a small amount that the unusual
heavy losses on the drive take it all
up.
