CONSUMPTION OF MEATS.
Comparison Between England and til
United States.


United States.
An American statiStiCian has discOv-
cred that the people of the United States
are the greatest meat consumers III the
world Thus vanishes another of our
cherished illusions. The inhabitants of
beef eating Britain cannot, we learn
with surprise, tackle much more than 100
pounds of meat apiece yearly, while 90
pounds per head is a good record for
some other civilized nations. Now, your
American citizen makes himself respon-
sible for 175 pounds of flesh per annum
AS corn consumer, too, he Is equally
illustrious, devouring 45 bushels of cere-
ais year, as against IS bushels con-
sumed in Europe. Clearly either as
carnivorous or graminivorous animals
we cannot hold candle to our Yankee
cousins.-London Financial Times.
The statistician's comparison does not
reflect at all on the meat and bread eat
ing capacity of the Briton. In mere
capacity the Yankee willingly yields to
him the palm. 1t is inability to procure
the food that so seriously handicaps him
IN Cne eaIlnS contest. 1Nc ollleltllCc
between 100 and 175 pounds, great as it
is, by no means accurately measures the
difference between the standards of liv-
ing among the middle and poorer classes
in the two countries. The wealthy
classes consume, it is safe to assume, as
much as do the similar class in our own
country, or say, at rough estimate, %
of the 100 and 175 pounds respectively.
There remains rs pounds to be divided
among the English middle and poorer
classes, while $50 pounds are left to the
corresponding classes in the United
States.
Of these amounts the English middle
class consumes, say 25 pounds, and the
corresponding class here 35 pounds
leaving rs pounds for the poorest classes
in the United States and only so pounds
to the poorest classesin England With
this modification of the statisticians
figures the comparison is signifcan
contrast of the plenty here and scarcity
abroad, particularly among the working
people

Our Home Market,

The following from an article by G.
Wood Davis in The Forum shows how
in a very few years we may have no need
Of foreign market for any of our agri-
cultural products:
Assuming the substantial correctness
of the estimates of area by the depart
ment of agriculture, and that home re-
quirements will be such as to employ
315 acres per capita, the answer to the
question, When will the farmer be pros
porous? resolves itself into calculation
as simple as the following:
January, 1894, a population of =, 00o,C5o
viii require in staple crops an area of 2c5, 10000
Area now employed in grow
ing such crops. ........... .21o, 100000
Addition to be made to such
Acreage deficit January, 1884. ..... 3,60o,oJo
This deficit should be sufficient to neu-
tralize any possible underestimate of the
area now in cultivation.
Does not the evidence adduced show
that before this decade is half spent all
the products of the farm will be re-
quired at good prices, that lands will ap-
preciate greatly in value, and that the
American farmer will enter upon an era
of prosperity, the unlimited continuance
of which is assured by the exhaustion of
the arabic areas?
A West Indian newspaper thus quotes
the governor-in-chief of the Leeward
Islands, Sir William Haynes-Smith: 1T
appears that in. the last ten years the
United States has obtained possession of
nearly all the sugar trade of the colony
(Antigua), which used to export this arti,
Gle exclusively to England. Our English,
exports to the colony have remained sta
tionary, while those from America have
steadily increased. Ten years ago Ameri-
can cottons, boots, etc., were practically
unknown in the colony; now they are
imported largely. "-American Mail ant
