WHY MEAT is HIGH.

The advance Of 25 per cent in the
price of beef cattle is neither I'M
usual nor unnatural. There has al
ways been, and, until better meth
DDS of feeding prevail generally,
there always will be, a scarcity of
cattle fit for slaughter in the inter
val between winter feeding and fat
tening, and the beef that comes off
the spring grass. Prudent and
thrifty farmers have always known
this, and aimed to have their steers
or oxen in condition for the butcher
from March to May. when the butch
ers were scurrying over the coun-
try hunting beeves in fit order for
the ShambleS These ordinary con-
ditions are intensified this year by
the drouths of last year in certain
sections, producing a shortness of
feed, followed by the sacrifice of
dition Of those carried over on short
allowance.
We say this will continue until
our farmers adopt generally the bet
ter methods that some have already
taken to. There is no need of any
farm, in any season of drouth, be-
ing short of plenty Of feed for the
winter and spring months. There
is enough feed goes to waste on the
majority Of Minnesota and Dakota
farms to carry through the winter
and into the spring in prime con-
dition twice the number of cattle
usually carried. If any manufact-
urer in the country were to permit
the waste of material in his business
that our farmers permit in theirs
he would go into bankruptcy in six
months. The recklessness with
which the immense feeding capacity
of our corn fields is wasted is
astounding in day when it's value
and utility have been so completely
demonstrated.
The silo is the great mortgage
litter and bank account creator, with
it's walls filled with the corn cut
at the time when all it's nutrition
is stored in stalk and ear, preserv-
ing it in it's freshness to be fed in
winter or spring in place of the
fibrous hay and concentrated
grains. 1t carries the luscious pas
lures of June into the winter months
and takes the cattle through the
winter without that shrinkage in
flesh usual with dry feed. But
where the silo is beyond the reach
of a farmers purse the stalks that
now are left for the cattle to forage
through, if cured, and then run
through a cutting machine, would
form food nearly as good as hay,
and vastly cheaper. Dry feeding of
cut stalks is not a theory; it's value
has been established, and that fact
condemns the unthrift and waste
that permits SO many thousand
acres of valuable feed to go annually
to waste on the farms of this and
neighboring states.

so threadbare as to hide nothing Of
the purpose behind them, and some
new one is imperative if money is
to be wheedled from the public
treasury. The navigation above the
falls of st. Anthony long since dis
appeared, and that below st. Paul
has not increased to take advan-
tage of the improvement of Iraviga-
ton consequent on the building Of
the reservoirs, and some new dodge
is essential. We find it now taking
the form of concern for the an
nual waterfall and it's effect on veg
citation. If great bodies of water
are provided the evaporation is in
creased, and the consequent precip-
itation is greater, vegetation thrives
and the husbandman is happy.
Therefore the number of reservoirs
at the head of the river must be
increased by the federal treasury,
and the rentals Of the water power
company be maintained in all their
integrity. In it we recognize again
that spirit that Randolph charac-
teriZed as looking on all government
as job, and which lis never so
true to itself as when it is false to
the country

descending gradually as the times

descending gradually as the times
harden to cheaper qualities.
But this is done under protest and
the compulsion of a necessity that
knows no law. Diminished income
on top and fixed habit below COM
promise their differences as best
they may, but habit is usually the
consenting party to incomes ulti-
matum. On the slightest dirninu-
ton of the pressure, habit reasserts
itself. The pipe is laid away and
the cigar reinstalled, and its quality
and price raised in exact proportion
to the Improvement in the smokers
finances. So the student of mar
kets, not maxfms, watches the to-
bacco trade when the financial storm
is on, consults his cigar dealer rather
than his butcher or baker, and
gauges the increase or decrease of
the storms violence by what he
learns there. He knows that the
average of men are so unthrifty that
the slack of the slightest betterment
in their conditions is quickly taken
up by increase of expenditure and
shows the first in the increased con-
sumption of those articles termed
luXuries, but which are real neceS-
sites. And so among other indicia
of financial conditions he notes the
statement of the commissioner of in
ternal revenue that the receipts from
cigars for the year ending with last
month were a million dollars more
than for the year preceding, as the
most reliable indication that the
pinch of the hard times is over and
conditions are steadily improving;
and his interviews with his tobac-
conist confirm the reading of the
larger instrument.

1.-THE Ensign" is drawing unusually
large audiences at the Grand this

No better evidence of the unusual

signed a contract whereby the company

pretense that the general food sup
ply will be increased is, Of course,
the sheerest nonsense, if soberly ,ad-
vanced; but everyone knows that it
is only the pretense the sportsmen
advance to cover their real purpose,
the provision of amusement for
themselves.
In the case of game, this is par
ticularly just to the farmers of the
state. tits on their lands the game
roams, and it is on their grain it
fattens, while it is over their lands
the hunter must rove in pursuit.
Not one farmer out Of a hundred
ever goes for the game; he is too
busy making up the scant margin
between income and outgo to waste
time in hunting or fishing, while he
now helps pay the cost of keeping

the state is to provide sport for

should be exacted from those who
enjoy the sport they have induced
the state to provide for them. The

cigar and tobacco stand last year.
The fellows who used ter come in
heah and ask for Key Westers and
wouldn't take a good domestic, is
mostly smokin' pipes now" When
the Republicans were wavering be-
tween reducing the internal taxes
and increasing them on externals.
Blaine answered the. objection to
the reducing of taxes on luxuries
that tobacco was not a luxury, but
necessity. The observations of the
dealer and of the politician combine
to indicate barometrical function
of tobacco enabling one to read with
approximate accuracy the conditions
Of the financial world.
Blaine and the Democrats were
both right. Tobacco is both a neces-
sity and luxury. 1t is necessity
to him who has formed the habit of
its use, and it is luxury because
not essential to the sustenance of life.
But as either luxury or necessity
it has its grades that serve the pur-
pose of the space markings of a
barometer by which the fluctuations
OF prosperity may be noted and
read. These, beginning with the
cheapest quality of mundungus, rise
in regular graduation of quality and
price to the finer Virginias and.Turk-

1t is in this blending of the neces-

Gator of the monetary conditions:
that which enables one to feel the

may be obliged in the best of times
to forego his favorite brands and
drop to lower scale, but it is only
in times of universal depression

barometer becomes useful as an in
