Scarcity of Beef and Mutton.


The setting and fencing of farms In
those locations where cattle and sheep
have been allowed TO Craze freely
upon government land has helped to
make an advance in the prices of our
meats. The conditions are different
from what they were twenty years
ago. yet we think this may be in part
overcome by the fattening Of cattle at
an earlier age, and by better cultiva-
ton and TIE introduction OF better
grasses on the grazing lands. and bet
ter feeding and care of stock when
they are brought to the stables. In
stead Of requiring fifty acres to each
steer they are now beginning to claim,
or the best feeders are, that three
acres of grass is enough for a steer.
We have known men in New England
who found one acre produce forage for
a COW in milk. excepting the grain food
which was purchased When our beef
growers reach that capacity they will
find it costs no more to grow a fat
animal than 1t did when they had
range which was unlimited and with
out cost-New England Homestead.

sheep-Fsedinx.

One of the largest farmers and
sheep-feeders in Nebraska says that
sheep-feeding in the State will be ON a
large scale this year. the indications
being that at least eight hundred thou
sand will be fed in that State alone.
He claims that the corn crop is likely
to prove yield of three hundred mill
lion bushels, and that while there are
large numbers of sheep and lambs
available, prices are well maintained
because Of the demand for feeders. In
Colorado the business may be less
than usual. as the alfalfa crop has
been but light, owing to a drought end
lack of water supply in the irrigated
regions. Receipts of sheep and lambs
at Chicago have already exceeded the
usual supply for the season.-American

ARRANGEMENTS BEING MADE
To Remove the Beaumont Glass works

1t is now pretty certain, says the
Wheeling News, that the Beaumont
Glass company will move their facto-
ry from Martins Ferry To Weston, w.
Va. As was stated in the News some
time ago, the company received an ex-
cellent offer from Weston, but it was
not all that they desired to make a
change in location, so for the time
being negotiations seemed to be off.
When the Weston people learned
that their offer had not been accepted
they got together and made another.
This was received some few days ago.
last week perhaps and has been duly
considered by the directors. 1t was
satisfactory on all but one point and
was sent back to Weston with state
ment from the company regarding the
one thing lacking.
1t is presumed that the Weston
capital interested ia the removal of
the plant will agree to the condition
embodied in the last letter from the
Beaumont company, and if they do,
the plant will be removed. The rea-
son for moving is the inability to Sc
cure sufficient ground for additions to
the plant that are absolutely neces-
sary in their work.

his wife that he was becoming blind.
She became alarmed and ran to the
church near by to summon help.
When succor came he was past all
earthly aid. He was lying face down
on the floor and his spirit had depart
ed. Apoplexy caused his death.
Mr.. Griggs for many years enjoyed
an unique distinction. He prided
himself on being the first man in the
county to pay his taxes and for a
quarter of century this has been his
custom. On occasion it is said that
be has waited for hours on the Court
House steps for the sheriff's office to
open that he might be the first one to
deposit his cash.
During the past few years he has
been resting quietly at home having
amassed competency ana not having
to work any longer. He was IS years

children survive him. Two of these
are the result of the second union.
His first wife died five years ago
