American Beef in Scotland.

Owing to the scarcity Of beef cattle
and fat sheep in the country, and the
consequent rise in price, very large sup
plies of American beef are finding their
way all over the country. Edinburgh
butchers, who, as a rule, decidedly pre-
fer the home article, have of late been
forced to procure supplies from Liver
pool and Glasgow of port-killed States
beef. In addition, the chilled beef
agencies in the city have been selling
large quantities Of American-killed
beef. A Chicago company is doing a
very considerable trade in high-class
grade of beef. They have already es-
tablished forty agencies in the United
Kingdom. The supplies coming into
Edinburgh for last week are phenOm-
enal, bearing in mind always that this
city has been in the past particularly
independent of foreign supplies of beef
and mutton. Upward of 400 quarters
Of chilled beef have gone into consump-
ton, and, in addition, like quantity,
viz, 200 sides pOrt-killed, all of Ameri-
can origin. Supplies of frozen mutton

Island, Fred Mathiesen built mill, the
an old self-binder. 1t waters his stock,
and yet the cost was under So.
BY putting a rudder on a mill the
arms can be made to swing around and
stand in the wind, and by putting a
mill within a tower instead of upon it,
the chance of destruction through be-
ing blown down by the high winds is
lessened greatly. One of the queerest
mills is that of a farmer named Boer-
son, who lives near Grand Island. He
took the sprocket wheel and fly wheel
of a cOrnsheller and at a cost of 81 put
together a cOntrivance that pumps
enough water for sixty head Of cattle.
Another odd and ingenious bit Of
mechanism is a reconstructed aermOtor
that cost practically nothing, yet
pumps for the house, lawn, garden and
Il small fruit orchard, bringing up 270
gallons of water an hour in a fifteen
and one-half mile wind. Then there is
the "toy" water mill of A. G. Walker,
a civil engineer, which pumps 6,4S0 gal
Ions of water in twenty-four hours.
Near Kearney was an abandoned mill
and storage reservoir. The mill was
fixed at slight cost, bits Of brOken-up
boxes were nailed to the arms and the
whole thing worked as we'll as 1t did in
its better days.
To shop-made mills and even to the
hottnr class of hOmp-m9dp can ha at-
tached wires by which the power can
be transmitted several hundred feet to
where it is needed. Sometimes the mill
is set at the house, and its energy is dl-
rected so that it will run the pump at
the barn-in fact, the Nebraska farm
er's ways Of utilizing these home made
contriyances are endless.
