Unquestionabiy the government
needs more revenue. But according
to an apparently Trustworthy an

not yet been made public. proposes
to collect It mainly from those who
are lea;, able TO make UP the deficit.
Besides. figures and statistics have
been published and never related

cents a pound duty on coffe" for al

stock sufficient to- supply the United

tion will be enabled to raise its prices

FINE FOREST SERVICE MEAT
Forest Service EndeavOrs to Show That Forest Grass Makes Best Beef
 More Jolly for the Stockmen.

ine lollOWlnk uope sent out by the educators of the Forest Service to show what great things are being done for the Stockmen of the west, is a fair sample of the "$20, 900 bureau of education" maintained by them to convince the public their corps of incompetents are really doing something with the hard earned money paid them by stockmen:
 Western beef is coming into it's own Not over decade ago east ern buyers purchased range-bred steers only when they were unable to fill their feed pen from other sources. and usually offered much lower price for this class of stock than they were willing to pay for that secured from other places
 Experience has taught these buy CTS. however. that western range bred steers are usually in the very best of health They have splen- did frame upon which to build, are we'll muscled and boned. and being accustomed tu the rigors of the western climate, continue tc put on flesh in the eastern feed pens when cattle from other sections. being fed under identical conditions. are losing flesh on account of the in- element weather conditions. This western steer only demands that he be given plenty of good fresh water and sufficient feed 80 that he may never be hungry and he will always give a good account of himself and return many dollars in profits to the feeder when he is sold for the block in the spring.
 These steers shed early under favorable conditions, and when they have reached the stock yards they show an exterior finish that other cattle, lacking the same health and ruggedness, fail to show This makes the western steers ready sell CTS on the market, and after they have been butchered the percentage of the weight of the dressed carcass over that of other steers under the same conditions is so perceptible as to immediately attract the atten- tion of those keen farsighted men who handle the yard end of the business.
 The settlement of the west is rapidly reducing the amount of available range and is forcing the cattle to go higher and higher into the hills in search of forage, This is greatly increasing the importance Of freely utalizing the ranges with in the National Forests, and every endeavor is being made by the For est Service to open hitherto inac- cessible ranges by the construction of trails and bridges, and unused arid ranges by the development of water In these higher elevations the grass is usually much finer in quality and more nutritious. while the climate is much more rigorous; both of which conditions result in the animals being ia better health and having more sclid flesh when placed on the feeder markets in the fall This fall has seen large num- bers of nge-bred steers, most of which cnme from ranges within National Forests, topping the feed CT markets at all points where feed steers are sold.
 So great has become the demand for cattle of the quality mentioned that hundreds of stockmen through out the west are selling their punches of stock cattle and are be- ginning to handle steers exclusive ly. On the old ranges where a few

western ranges at from eighteen months to two years old. They be- come acclimated the first year. while in the second and third years they become sufficiently mature to so that they may he taken to mar ket.
 The demand for cattle of this kind is greater than the supply. and as in all other cases where the demand is greater than the supply. the price received on sale must con stantly increase That this is true of the steer business. one can easily ascertain through conversation with any one of the western stock men who make this business. They will tell you that they have made more money in the last two or three years in handling steers than they have made in ten years in handling strictly stock cattle. |"
