BY s. P. AVERILL, SOUTH BRITAIN.
 Having spent three score years as a Connecticut farmer and believing that there is no place in this land where the average man has taken better care of himself than in New England, l look with regret upon some of the signs of the times, and one is the disappear ance of thousands of fat cattle from the rich pastures of the hill land of western New England. In my young CT days the old town of Southbury furnished from 30 to 10000 worth of fat cattle to the neighboring cities yearly and about 25 per cent of it rep resented what they got as pay for the pasture. l well remembe years ago, commencing about July, that once week from then until winter there would'pass my home 40 or 50 fine string going to the Hartford or New Haven market, or any one going either for business or pleasure at that time in the fall of the year through the hill towns of western New England, where the very richest pastures in this coun- try are to be found, his attention would soon be called to the fine lots of fat cattle on every hand, but that is all changed. 1 suppose others stopped fatting cattle the same as l did, for the very reason that we could no long CT sell. them to responsible dealers.
 Why was it that the time came when we had a fine lot of fat cattle fit for the market that no responsible dealer wanted them at any price? I was led to believe, and 1 had little eXperi- ence that confirmed my opinion, that the Beef Trust intend to make it inn possible for New England farmer to sell any beef. When 1 found l could not sell fat cattle to responsible deal CTS, of course l gave up the business
 but as no trust or combination stopped our keeping two or three COWS for fam fly use, there would occasionally be a fat COW for the market: to illustrate 1 give my experience. Last summer we were using Chicago dressed beef all summer delivered at my home on the farm, when one day l asked the man if he could not use a fat COW that had. He said that he would like to accommodate me but the man that furnished him Chicago dressed beef told him he must not use any beef of the farmers; if he did he never could get any more beef from him. Now, could anything illustrate the truth better that the trusts intend to drive the public out of business? Now there is no question but that the Beef Trust has destroyed the income from thou sands of acres of fine grass land throughout New England and the consumer has to pay the trust more for beef than ever before, and l am led to believe that the working of all trusts is to oppress the many for the enrich ment of the few. From one who in years past sold two or three thousand dollars worth of fat cattle yearly, but one whom the Beef Trust now intends shall not even sell fat COW.
