Emect of the New Meat Law.


One highly important result of the
new laws regulating the meat packing
business may already be seen in the
tendency to keep more stock. II am
going TO increase my herds a little" a
leading farmer says; and the argu.
ments he uses are these: More pork,
beef and mutton will be eaten here
after. Folks are satisfied now that the
packers will send out only good. pure
meat, and they will use it freely. Some
one must grow the cattle to make this
meat. We might as well all have a
hand in it. Not that all should drop
everything else and put the eggs all
into the meat-growing basket; if we did
that there would be big crash. but we
can keep more stock and make it pay.
And this is a sensible view to take of
the matter. 1t will mean better times
for farmers all over the country.
