Riding Price OF Beef.

Gradually from year TO year there
is a gradual increase in the price OF
beef. though the average rise Is 80
small for any one year that our buy
ers do not notice H. With the ex.
haustion OF the area OF public range
and the Increase Of population there
Is steadily approaching a time when
beef will be high all the year round.
While this is a matter for tho mayors
to look upon with mlsgiyIngs It is
ono that should stimulate the pro-
ducer OF beef to put more thought
into his business. The high priced
beef OF the future will not DO made
alone on our western ranges, but In
all parts OF the country. The farms
In tho older states carry few beeves
because they cannot compete with
tho cheap grass on the western
ranges, but that day lB slowly but
surely passing. The millions and mil
lions OF people that are coming TO
our shores are swelling the number
or the beef eaters. and there is also
among us a steady increase OF the
native population. We hope 10 see
beef steers on every farm. There are
very few farmers that c,nnot raise

and with his own hands he tore on
the richly embroidered satin garment,
and by so doing exposed what perhaps
some delicate feeling had made him
Wish to conceal-a bow OF orange rib
bon which he wore above his heart.
The sight OF It to Neil was like oil
flung upon flame. He could scarcely
restrain himself until the word go"
gave him license TO charge Hyde.
Hyde was an excellent swordsman
aud had fought several duels; but no
was quite Disconnected by the deadly
reality Of Nelts attack. In tho sec

luugo aimed at his heart, he fell on

sprang backwards with great dexter.

Up to this point there had been in

Size Of the Horse.

II is not unreasonable TO suppose

lty as 10 size. We once wanted beef
animal that weighed two thousand
pounds We now want one that
weighs nearer 1900 pounds. Yet In
the matter Of size for our draft horses
we try 10 get tnem TO weigh 4 ton or
more. According TO reports from
abroad the Americans are about the
only people In the world that want
heavy draft horses. Il is said that the
French are breeding their Percherons
% a l,7O0.pound standard. and that
the larger ones they are producing
are being produced for the especial
benefit OF Americans. II we are the
only people that are buying these
very heavy horses II is evident that
he day is not far distant when we
en- not /oe buying them. The ten
dency Of the day Is toward things OF
a medium size. We are learning that
biness is not quality, and that the
animal that IS big may be OF very
little use even In the city market.
For use on the farm our agrlculturists
long ago found out that the excessive
ly big horses are not the best nor
the cheapest At the present time
there is q good market for heavy
horses in our big cities. but we do not
know how long the demand OF our
great brewing and wholesale com.
panles will be for horses weighing a
ton and more. 1t Is safe TO breed for
a good weight, bat not for the maxi.
mum weight.
