EXPORTING FRESH MEAT.
The Method by Which 1t Is Preserved While in
Course OF Transportation.

Course OF transportation
Boston Budget.
Since fresh meat is now transported by
thousands of tons from North and South
America and Australia to England and
France, it is interesting to examine the
ingenious processes adopted on the ocean
steamers engaged in this business to keep
the meat nj low temperature during the
voyage. The means by which this low
temperature is maintained now consists,
according TO a French authority, of
machines for blowing cold air
into the meat storeroOms in the
hold of the vessel, the air being
cooled simply by expansion. As every
one knows, the old-fashiOned freezing
machines employed the expansion of con-
densed ammonia gas as Tefrigerating
agent, conveying the cold current to the
place where it was to be used by means
of giyceTine, or some other liquid not
subject TO freezing at ordinary tempera
lures. BY the new method the air is
cooled by its own expansion, and then
forced directly into the rooms. The air
is first drawn into condensing cylinder,
where it is compressed under a pressure
of about fifty pounds to the square inch.
This greatly reduces its volume and
raises its temperature to nearly 800 de-
grees Fahrenheit.
The next step is TO carry OFF the surplus
heat, which is done by means of cur
rent of sea water, circulating around the
condenser, or rather around series of
tubes, into which the air passes from the
condenser. TO cool it still more, and
cause the deposits of the watery vapor
contained in it, the air next passes into
another series of tubes, which are ex-
posed to the current of cold air returning

Cherokee Strip Lease Not Signed.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Dec. PA special
from Kansas City says: Chief Mayes of
the Cherokee strip is in the city for the
purpose of comforting with the president
of the Cherokee Strip Live Stock Associ-
alton in regard to the contract for the
Cherokee strip. The contract calling for
$500 200 year for five years, while it is
eminently satisfactory to the Cherokass
has not been signed by them, and will
not be until every detail is carefully
looked after. Chief Mayes is bitterly
opposed to the opening of Oklahoma.

A cattle grower of Northern Montana
keeps a systematic account of the growth
of his herds. He knows his calf crop to
a head every year, and knows his ship
ments of beeves. His shipments are
composed of three and FOUR ear-Olds,
but at no year do they exceed 60 per
cent? of the crop raised from the brand
of any given year. In other words, he
loses 40 per cent. of his stock by the time
it reaches tile age of three or four years.
Some of them are lost through accident
and some die from natural causes, but he
attributes at least 80 per cent. of his
losses to wolves and other stock-destroY-
ing animals.

Straw as material for stock shelter
has these favorable qualities: 1t is a
very poor conductor of heat, hence it
makes a warm shelter. 1t costs little,
beng produced in abundance on large
majority of farms; and its employment for
this purpose does not require special skill
beyond the farmer. But it is not as eco
nOmical as many suppose. 1t is as nee
essary that the top of the shelter
be water tight as that the sides be wind
tight - even more important. a
straw roof can be kept rain and snow
proof only by frequent repairings. Straw
is not a durable material, and Il straw
shelter is not long-lived. In many cases
where straw shelters are now used, a
proper computation would show lumber
to be more economical; and as it is usu-
ally cheaper to paint lumber than not to
do so, the cheapest shelter would be q
neat, substantial painted one.

We congratulate the wool growers of
this country upon the improved outlook
of their important staple. The stocks of
wool on hand in city as well as interior
markets are the lightest for years. Wool
which has been sold in this market of late
in immense quantities cannot be replaced
at what it sold for. There is a quiet yet
steady hardening of prices. Since Janu-
airy Boston alone has sold 43 Az ,OS2
pounds more wool than for the corre-
spending time in 1887. In all foreign
wool markets the clips higher than last
year. Boston Cultivator.

The recent rains in Arizona have been
very beneficial to the stockmen. The
grass was very short, and could not be
hurt by the cold weather. 1t may be
very hard on cattle that are in bad con-
ditlon at present, but it is generally con-
coded that the loss this winter will be far
less than any preceding one.

A gentleman who has recently returned
from Ohio said to a reporter yesterday
that the value of cotton seed could be
judged by the fact that the butter max
ers of the east are using that article to q
great extent as feed for their stock, they
being convinced that the flesh put upon
cattle by it was of a more substantial
quality than is produced by the ordinary
feed. This gentleman says that bran and
cornmeal add to the benefits of the cotton
seed.

If the result obtained from spaying
heifers in the scales of some this year are
fair criterion, says the Stock Grower,
the practice has not been successful in its
outcome. Spayed heifers have sold in all
the markets of slaughter at the same
price as old cows. Another delusion
seems to have gone glimmering.

An Illinois cattlemnn

An Illinois cattlemau, CononeI J. W.
Judy, says "'the cattle business for the
next two years will be very good. There
is no particular shortage of beef for the
market this year, but the calf crop is
very poor. The prices during the past
two years were low, and in consequence
of the disasterous winter the previous
year many owners were short of money
and did not buy the regular number of
bulls for breeding purposes and let their
COWS run with the herd, fatten, and they
were then shipped. And on account
of this large shortage of COWS last year
sthe season s crop is unusually poor, and
there will be shortage of steers for the
next two or three years. Good prices
prevailed during the early part of this
season, and in the west grass was never
in finer condition. About the best sign l
know of is that confidence in the cattle
business is nearly restored, and next
spring many eastern capitalists will be
again represented on the prairies.

The dressed beef trade dates back to
1870. \ well-known cattle dealer of
those days originated the plan of shipping
beef in the carcass on small scale, in
refrigerator cars, which he had built
after his own plans. In the year above
named Mr.. Plumer purchased a small
tract of land, on the Michigan Central
Railway fifteen miles southeast of Chi
cagO, on which he erected a small abattOr
aud commenced shipping beef to Boston.
The carcasSeS of the cattle slaughtered
were kept hanging in Il chill room for
<thirty-siX hours before being put into
these refrigerator cars, the temperature
i'll them being kept at 35 degrees to &C
degrees, perfectly dry, cold air. From
five to seven days was the time required
in making the trip, and it was some
twelve to fourteen days before the beef
could reach the consumer. 1t was sue
cess from the start, and thus was started
the movement which has reyolutioniZed
the Strengthening business. Later on,
Mr.. Plumer formed a copartnership with
G. Fl Hammond, under the title of Ham
mond & Co.
In the year 1880 G. f. Swift came into
the dressed beef trade on an extensive
scale, and about two years later Armour
s. Co. became heavy shippers of dressed
beef, and from this time forward violent
Esprit of antagonism has been arrayed
throughout the country against the So
called "Big Four (Armour & Co.,
Swift s Co., Hammond X Co. and n.
Norris as they are termed, because of
the mammoth operations which they
carry on in the slaughtering of cattle and
the shipping of dressed beef. The dressed
beef shippers were of necessity compelled
to have their own refrigerator cars, be-
cause the railroads would not furnish
them, made upon their own plans and
kept in full supply, so that they could at
all times ship promptly. There are now
thousands of these refrigerator cars en-
gagged III this dressed beef traffic.

liable to spread to other cities, but mas
much as the monograms attract atten-

never be in vogue in Chicago" He

never recovered. But we hurl the vile
aspertion back into his teeth and saw
