In value % per cent of total value of the
cattle in the United States. The increase
in number has been largely restricted to
the range and ranch area.
With the increase of cattle raising in
the west and the improvements in trans
portation has come the comparative new
business of shipping dressed beef from
the west to the east. In 1880 this move
ment amounted to Is, $50 tons; in 1851 it
had reached 72,259 tons; in 1882, SO, ITO
tons; in 1883, 1851 81 tons and last year
l7S,067. The rapidity of the growth of
these shipments will be somewhat a
urprise to those English Freetraders.
who are advising the British farmer to
quit competing with America in raising
wheat and try something else-namely,
cattle raising. But this $4,000 tons of
meat is trifling compared with the pos
sibilites of the trade when the shipping
points of the west are fully awakened to
the trade. This, up to the present time,
is exclusively Chicago enterprise and
the Eastern shipping points were chiefly
in the New England states. Of the total
SHIPMENTS of 173 O58 tons of dressed beef,
1884 tons were from Chicago, st. Louis
contributing but 2O3 tons, Buffalo twenty
one tons and Illinois ten tons. During
the coming year, other cities notably St.
Louis, will engage extensively in this
business and the shipments will be
greatly increased.
It has been demonstrated that if fresh
beef is' kept at the temperature of about
38 degrees Fahrenheit, in properly ven
tilated space, it will not deteriorate in
quality if SO kept for sixty days. During
the year 1884 nearly 10000 tons, or A.
4SO, 1000 pounds, of beef we're shipped d.
rect from Chicago to Europe. The high
degree of success attained in the trans
portation of fresh beef by sea, as well as
by land, is clearly illustrated by the fol-
lowing table, which shows the quantities
and values of the imports of fresh beef
into Great Britain from each country dur
ing the year 1888.

Our Cattle Interests.

Chicago Inter-Ocean.
The bureau of statistics has recently
issued report of unusual interest rela-
tive to our vast cattle interests, in which
special attention is given the range and
ranch cattle business of the United States.
It is only within comparatively recent
period that the public have realized the
magnitude of this industry. The terri
tory embraced in what is commonly
known as the range and ranch cattle area
embraces about $4,000 square miles
and constitutes A per cent of the total
area of our domain, exclusive Of Alaska
An area equal to that of Great Britain
and Ireland, France, Germany, Denmark,
Hollsnd, Italy, Spain and Portugal, and
one-fifth of Russia in Europe combined
Throughout this vast area, which ex-
tends into fifteen states and territories,
the Indian and the buffalo have been
superseded by the cowb boy and the Texas
steer. Upon these extensive plains,
browsing and fatteniDg on the public do
main, roam thousands of head of cattle,
and every year droves of cattle thus fed
find their way east to the slaughter
houses of Chicago and other points, and
from thence the beef is shipped to all
parts Of the world.
Thanks to the development of our rail-
road system, the cost of conveying these
cattle, fattened upon the rich grass of
pastures which at present are as free as
the air they breathe or the water they
drink, has been reduced to q sum which
has made the cattle traffic from the far
west one of the great possibilities. The
freight charge for transporting cattle to
Chicago from the meridian passing
through the centre of the range and
ranch cattle belt is about $3.50. The cur
rent rate per head from Chicago to New
York is about $3.50. The total freight
charge for transporting steer from the
cattle belt to New York may, therefore,
be stated at $l130. Add to this the
freight of the carcases or the live beast to
Liverpool or other European ports, which
is not more than as much again, and it
will be seen that we are likely for some
time to come to utilize these far western
plains in supplying the European world
with meat. The rapid development of
the cattle interests may be seen by q
glance at the subjoined table:

It is q remarkable fact that the petit

loath to discard its flowing drapery: II

Naturally. women take sort of savage

this preorgative, and that they clutch at

from or at least share it with us, for IN

do not wonder this is 80. There is dig
nifty in drapery, as we'll as grace and ele--
gance. When Henry VII. went to meet
Anne of Cleves he was habited, we reod,
in q coat of velvet somewhat made like
a frocke, embroidered all over with fatt-
ed gold of damaske, with small lace mix
ed btween, of the same gold, and other
laces of the same going traverwise; that
the ground little appeared; and.bya de-
scription of similar garment belonging
to his father, Henry VII, we read of its
being decorated with bows of ribbon.

alone q skirt, but, as the name denotes, a.
little coat. How it came to lose its up

the petticoat was made with long skirts
for the sake of warmth, and in each case
it was as much petticoat, az We under-

ing of womnn's petticoats before the Tu-
Dor period. Good Queen Bees,' with all
her learning, which was essentially mas
culine in her age and time, had the true
instinct of womanliness a. regards per-
sonal adornment, and even though We
find her deficient in taste and heartily
wish she had not made such guy Of
her old age, yet as q woman We have to
thank her for stockings and petticoats
