The Future Cattle Supply.

A magazine writer, bordering on this
problem, recently ventured the predic-
ton, obviously absurd, that production
OF cattle in the west would steadily
diminish until the great abattoirs of the
packers would he compelled to bank
fires for lack of ram material, says
the Breeders Gazette. This seer, as
short-sighted as his class, detected the
grave possibility of an intimate meat
famine. He reckoned, however, with
out taking into consideration several
major factors in the trade, factors that
insure a future supply. While a series
of improbable years may eliminate the
extensive feed lot, a point in the history
of the trade all but reached now, the
multitude of small growers have no
alternative but to continue the produce
ton of beef. The vast quantities of
roughage grown annually in the CEN
trail and far western states have no
market value in that form ard must
be first converted into some condensed
product such as beef or mutton. The
talk fields OF Iowa and Nebraska fur
nish nutrition for swarm OF cattle
beside which the proverbial drones,
feeding on a thousand hills, would be
as a Monday run at Chicago to lip
perary cattle fair. With no other
means of giving a cash value to his
roughage, the farmer will continue the
feeding of steers. Owners of big feed
ing lots may succumb to the stress of
bad trade weather, but the multitude,
each member with a car load or so,
will, from necessity, il not choice, stick
to the game. But the fat, sleek cattle,
once marketed by the feeder with ill
concealed pride after being nursed and
coddled for from six to eight months
in the feed lot have no place in the
present plans of the up-to-date feeder.
The present scarcity. and consequent
premium, may be an undercurrent to
make a few, but until new generation
makes the cattle that supply western
markets another such crop CT heavy
beeves as was delivered in 1903 will!
not be sin evidence.

DIVORCE AND INDEPENDENCE
dubuque Times.]
Whatever else may be true, this So
cioloeist is not mistaken in attribu-
ting the growth of divorce to the
greater independence Of women in the
United States. The domestic estab-
lisflment OF the foreigner is one-man
concern He is the master and his
wife owes him obedience. This is I'M
derstood from rh start. Not so in
America. Here the descendants of the
foreign born, il not under the res
traints of the church, accept the Ann
erican idea of equality, and owing to
the better material condition of the
people and the many fields of employ
mont open to women, the dissatisfied
wife is free to put this. idea into prac-
tice by obtaining divorce and rely
ing for living upon her own rela-
tives her own children or her own re-
sources.
