The increase of the meat and live
cattle expectation from this country
10 England, is illustrated by the state
ment of the London Truth that during
one recent week seven steamers arrived
in Liverpool from America with car
goes Of fresh meat, consisting of 9043
quarters of beef and 1908 carcasses of
mutton, while seven other vessels
brought to the same port 1855 cattle
and 23l5 sheep. Possibly some of
ihcse fourteen vessels were from South
America and Canada, but doubtless
most of them came from the United
States. In the days when cotton was
king the American civil war produced
great distress in Lancashire, but Eng
land now depends largely on America,
not only for cotton, but for food.

1t is marvellous how sheep and wool
growing have increased in this coun-
try within the last fifteen or twenty
years. In 1860 there were only about
23,000,000 sheep in the United States.
We now have nearly 50,000,000. In
1860 the wool clip amounted to only
60.0Q0,000 pounds; to-day it is nearly
300,000,000 pounds-an increase with
in this period of over two-fold of sheep
and tive-fold in the production of wool,
giving unmistakable evidence of our
advance in this industry.
