Poor Beef.

There is compleint of the poor grade OF
beef that finds its way into the Boston and
other eastern markets. But 1t appears the
Eastern people are not the only sufferers.
The Breeders Gazette says: 1T has been
many years since the quality of beef re.
tailed at the butchers stalls of this and
other cities has been of SO low grade.
Mule meat would be fitting designation
for much of the stuff being sold at many
shops usually handling prime beef. This
simply means that on the strength of the
admitted scarcity of choice fat cattle the
tailings and range stuff are being forced
upon those who would be buyers of No. |
beef even at higher price II they could
get it. In short. If all who desire and are
ready to pay good round price for the
highest grade Of loins and ribs could iud
them at the usual markets, the price of
fancy bullocks would 60 sky-ward. But
no. Rather than pay seven or eight cents
fpr such steers, the big slaughterers will
force the retailers (and they In turn the
cousumer) into the use of low grade and
half finished meats" The time is coming
it may be somewhat distant, but 1t Is
coming-when New England and every
9TH r locality will have to grow its own
beef. The West with the settlement Of
the wild lands, cannot always retain its
supremacy Of cheap production. The Or
der OF nature Is to level and even up We
believe the time is not very far distant
when New England can with profit grow
her own beef.-Mirror and Farmer.

Why does seed planted year after year
In the same locality run out and have to
be supplanted by some other variety, or at
least by seed brought from some other
locality? 1t would seem that it ought to
become acclimated and established, doing
better and better every year. Is not the
failure to do this due to neglect in select
ing the seed5 As James Riley, of Thorn
town, Indiana, says I'VE never hear
that good variety of Indian corn has
degenerated, until 1t has been planted
near other kinds with which it has been
allowed to mix; and If the same care were
exercised in selecting the very best ker-
nes of well established variety of wheat
for seed and keeping the seed grain sep
arate in secure place, we should have
the unbounded satisfaction of seeing our
wheSt fields produce, not only larger
heads, plumper kernels and heavier grain
in much greater abundance, but no signs
of degencracy would appear, even were
the same kind of grain raised in one To-
cality, generation after generation" The
Importance of the proper selection of
seed and the possibilities Of improve
