And beauty will fade. and riches Will flee.

There's nothing that pays for the time you

Therc'is nothing that lasts but trouble and
dirt.

The midsummer breezes are loaded with dust;
In fall the leaves litter; In muggy September
The wall paper rots and the candlesticksrust.
There are worms in the cherries and slugs
In the roses.
And ants IN the sugar and mice IN the pies
Thu rubbish and spiders no mortal supposes,
Aud rayaglng reaches and damaging nics.

course. was exclusive Of mich cows.
In 1892 thereport showed that there
were 81. Isl, 239. or an increase Of $685.
l3S over 1854.
In 1884 the shipments to Chicago
were only l,sl7.697, and in 1892 they
we're over 3,50O,OOO. and had been pro-
portionally large since the depression
began in 1884.
II is well known fact that since the
year 1884, cattlemen have been using
every possible means to reduce sup
ply, and have resorted to spaying
heifers and shipping calves in a way
that was never done before.
Now, how II is possible that our
supply of cattle could have increased
s.505, l3s head in the face Of such facts
as have mentioned is a conundrum
| will turn over to the statistician OF
the agricultural department foanswer,
for it is certainly too much for me.
What have become Of the thousands
Of foreign investors vino were drawn
into the cattle business during the
boom? And where are the thousands
OF herds that these gentlemen paid
millions of dollars to purchase?
And where are the tens OF thousands
of small American holders who were
not so fortunate as to sell out during
the inflated period?
Is there anyone in the cattle BUSH
ness who will pretend 10 claim that
there are more people engaged in the
cattle industry today than wee in 1T
in 1884?
Ask any Of the old time cattle kings
II they are holding as many cattle now
as they did then. and nine in every
ten will answer yen that they have
long since gone ont Of breeding cattle
and Lave been confning themselves
exclusively to steers.
How. then. is it possible to have in
creased our supply from 29,04G,lOl to
81 SOL. 1892
There Is certainly something radio
ally wrong and / do not believe 1t will
ever be possible to arrive at the cor
rect condition Of our cattle supply
until we have Bureau of Informa-
ton and Statistics devoted especially
to livestock. This matter was made
subject for discussion at the Inter
state Convention of Cattlemen that
was held at Fort Worth in 1890. and
it was unanimously recommended as
the most practical way OF conducting
the business Of livestock, and | think
the recent development in our hog
product fully bears out the wisdom Of
such recommendation.
i Senator G. G.. Vest OF Missouri, has
been a strong friend OF the measure.
and has introduced bill in the senate
for the purpose of creating such a bu-
reau. and | trust YOU will use every
effort to keep the matter prominently
before congress until we have them in
practical operation.
There is perhaps no single industry
in the United States in which more
people are interested than in live
stock. There is hardly farmer in the
land who does not depend largely for
support on eithereattle, sheep or hogs,
and to think OF this great industry
being permitted to languish for the
want of a proper system is not in ac-
cord with the spirit of the age we live
in.
Look at the care that Is used in
keeping up with the supply and de-
