MEAT
An Encouraging Outlook for Those Wha
are Engaged In the Business.

An Encouraging Outlook for Those WIS
are Engaged In the Business.
When work is scarce, wages low,
and incomes diminished, people 10
strict themselves more closely to q,
vegetable diet than they otherwise
would, and resort to all sorts of d
pedlentsby which to avoid the purchase
OF the dearer priced meats. And this
wholesome article of food, instead of
being regarded as a staple entering to
a greater or less degree into the daily
consumption, is used in many house
holds in restricted quantities and only
as a sort of seasoning or element I'M
combinations of other kinds of food
thus hard times diminish the demand
for meat, and under their influence in
his country the demand has fallen off
amazingly. The retail butchers eyery.
where complain as bitterly Of hard
times as any other class of dealers, and
probably in no direction has the effect
of the prevailing commercial depres-
sion been more marked. And vet, in
the face of this diminished demand.
and Notwithstanding the pressure of
hard times and the practice of a uni
versal economy upon the part of the
people, the prices of meat have been
well sustained and it's production is
still highly remunerative to the
farmer.
This can mean but one thing-that
the meat production of the country at
the present time is not greatly in x
cess OF the most restricted demand,
and that any surplus which may exist
is OF such trifing proportions as to
produce little or no effect upon prices.
And if all the meat is now wanted at
remunerative prices what will be the
effect upon this industry when, with
returning prosperity, there is a wide
spread increase in the consumptiye de-
mand? There will not be much more
meat consumed, because it is not in
existence, and can not be quickly pro-
duced, but the unsatisfied demand will
advance prices to a higher range, and
render the production of meat even
more remunerative than it has been
heretofore. And if the British demand,
with returning prosperity, should i'm
pose a tax upon u energies in this
direction, it will be difficult to estimate
the hrmness and stability of the mar
ket Good times will come again, and
before people realize their coming, and
there is everything in the future out

Importance and advantage of giving
more and more of his attention to meat

as the of the farm will justi-

growers of good grades of meat, and

FARM DEEDS.
What Passes by the Instrument-Build-
ings and Fences-Crops and Fixtures.

What Passes by the Instrument-Build-
ings and Fences-Crops and Fixtures.
In the buying and selling of farms,
disputes frequently arise as to what
passes by the deeds-that is, what fix
lures or movables are included in the
transfer of ownership of the farm,
although there may be no question as
to how far the farm extends, and how
many acres it contains. Many of these
disputes result from the difficulty of
distinguishing between real estate"
and personal property" OF to use
more accurate legal terms, between
Gland" and ~.'ixtures." In law, the
word Gland" includes houses and
barns, and other buildings as well as
the soil itself, and ''fixturcs'' are arti-
clcs affixed to land, as pumps. fences,
bankruptcies, hooks for hanging
clothes, articles of household furniture,
etc. Fixtures are commonly called
movable and ''immovable, the latter
including all articles SO attached to
..land," or. using the term in its legal
sense CHAT is, including its build

without damaging the ''land;'' such as
doors, permanent s%helvings, etc., while
articles not so attached, as chairs,
stoves, ETC., are movable fixtures.
The rule is, that the land, in its legal
meaning, and all immovable fixtures,
pass by the deed. Bearing the forego-
ing in mind, it is commonly easy to de-
termine what articles the deed passes.
Whether mentioned in the deed or
not, all the permanent buildings on
the farm pass by a conveyance. Tenn
porary buildings, as corr cribs, hog
pens, hen houses, etc., will pass, unless
expressly reserved in the deed. So
strong Is the presumption that all tie
bulldogs OF a farm pass by the deed,

IN the temperate zones we perceive bad

hours.
Those, then. who reside in malarial
districts should guard against exposures
to malaria whilst the sunny rays are
absent. Experience shows that very
little, if any, danger is incurred, if ex-
posed during the warm parts of the
day. As malaria is heavier than air il
creeps upon the surface and rises as the
expanded air lifts it up. And we find
it safer i n malarious districts to enter

readers must see the use of keeping the
house warm and dry, and the adjacent
lands free from decaying materials.

PEOPLE
Two Kinds Who Indulge in Sarcasm, On

Two Kinds Who Indulge in Sarcasm, Ons
Breezy and the Other Rude.
There is a class of people brighter
and smarter than their fellows, who
are called sarcastic, and they r very
often the spice and sauce of any as
semblage of which they may form a
part. I know sarcastic people, and I
have been a target which has caught
some of their keen arrows, but I never
felt more than a'transitory twinge, so
long as the sarcasm was polite and
tempered by fun. In fact, 1 like sar-
castle people because they are breezy
and invigorating, and healthy. 1t is
those so-called sarcastic people who are
simply rude and plain spoken thatI am
set against. Instead of having the wit
to generalize a proposition, they pro-
pound it abruptly, and when they wish
to apply a principle of ridicule, they
fail to grasp its meaning, and instead
of making a bright, keen blade of it
which cuts artistically, they make q
blunt-edged instrument of it, which
does its work brutally. These people
are to real sarcastic people what a
coarse, ill-bred butcher is to the finest
surgeon who ever welded a scalpel.
They lack the finer 'sensibilities of wit,
and call direct personal thrusts sar-
casm. They are the sluggers of con
versation and are quite as d~isagreeable
in their field as the slugger in the prize
ring with an artistic knocker. They
usually laugh at their w ugly thrusts
and are quite ready to ridicule a physi-
cal deformity, as to turn the laugh on
an erroneous conclusion or an easily
assailable argument. Their eyes are
open but they are not keen sighted,
and they win, when they do win, by
resorting to weapons the master of sar-
casm would scorn to use.-Merchant
