"The highest price of cattle for the
last twenty years was in 1884, when
there were 29,046, 101, beef cattle to
population OF 54,911 900, when
the value per head was $23.52,
against value of $22.79 in 1899,
with over L 100000 less cattle and
a population greater by nearly o.
100000. There are now in round
numbers IA, 100000 less hogs than
in 1890; IL 100000 less sheep than
in 1888, II, 100000 less beef cattle
than in 1877 There is this farther
fact to justify us in thinking that
prices will not 90 lower. Formerly
it was the custom to fatten 3 or 4
year old steers. Now the large r
number of cattle being fed are / and
2 year old. Formerly western range
men would sell nothing younger than
Agar steers Now it is hard to buy
any 4year olds. Most of the 3-year
Odds are gone and a large per cent OF
the 2.year Odds, and yet the receipts
OF western range cattle in Chicago
decreased from 400, SIG in 1895, to
233,54S in 1897; 1876, 546 in 1898
to l83,700 in 1899.
"The competition of the western
range cattle is practically ever. The
large ranches are fast disappearing
and the country must depend for it's
cattle in the future on the mixed
farmer. So after looking at all the
conditions it seems to me can safely
calculate on present prices being
maintained for some years"

Watch Out.

The loving section of the Vermont
Statutes taken from an act passed at the
recent session of the general assembly re-
garding private sewerage and plumbing
may be OF interest to the people of Below:
Falls:
"Section 1880. In any town, city, OF
incorporated village in which there are pub.
lie sewers, every person owning house or
any other building abutting on a street ii
which there is public sewer, shall have
all drains and sewers from said house OF
building connected with such street sewer
and when deemed neces sary by the local
board of health shall provide said house OF
building with the plumbing regulations Of
the state board of health, and shall make
the necessary connections between this
plumbing and such public sewer. Any
householder or owner of a building a.
above specified, who shall fail to provide
such plumbing and sewer connections after
receiving reasonable written notice signed
by majority OF the local board OF health,
shall forfeit and pay to the town or city
not less than ten dollars nor more than one
hundred dollars, and in such case the local
board of health may provide such house or
other building with the necessary plumbing
and sewer connections and collect the cost
of such work and materials of the owner.
In case either party wish, appeal shall be
made to the state board of health, who shall
after proper inspection, decide as to the
necessity Of providing such plumbing and
making such sewer connections, and their
decision shall be final"
DR.. j. T. Ridden, the local health off,
Ger, says that this law will be enforced in
Bellows Falls. Such being the case, let
those to whom the law applies look out.
