Abnormal Beef Supplies.


There has been a breaking up Of
range herds consequent upon the en-
forcement of the "no-fence" law by the
national government and by encroach-
ments of the settlers upon the ranges,
made possible by the practice of dry
farming" Not all of the cattle have
slaughterhouses; great portion of
them have gone to farms for maturing
and finishing, largely upon corn. This
extra demand On the corn crop is -e-
fiected in corn prices which are now
higher than they have been since the
records of the department of agricult-
ure began, in 1866. except for 1881.
Half a dozen years of this abnormal
movement of beef cattle from ranges
to the great markets began to tell upon
the supply in 1908. when the deliveries
fell off in a marked degree, and the de-
crease continued in 1909.
Hog Situation More Fair TO Farmers
The farmers situation with regard
to hogs is more. fair to the farmer than
the cattle situation is, but still it is
apparent that during the last three
years the price of corn has been to,
high for the price of hogs. The relative
price of hogs on the farm Jan. /, 1909
was 1873 as compared with 100 for the
mean price of 1S96-1900, and the aver
age cost of all hogs slaughtered al
principal markets in the year before was
1881, or about the same as the farm
price The price of dressed hogs OF
100 pounds In New York in 1908 stands
at 1857 and the carcasses of market
pigs at Chicago at 1854, which is ap-
proximately the number representing
the relative retail price of fresh pork.
In the case of hogs, therefore, eht
farmer has fully participated in tht
rising prices. whereas in the case of tn
farmers cattle the unfed animals ar
] barely as valuable as they We're nine L
fourteen years ago. and had not thu
price of corn assembled to a high figure
perhaps he would not have shared 4
the higher beef prices.
The foregoing conclusions are fo
fresh meat. The prices of cured an'
prepared meats have increased in mucl
great degree than the prices of otae
meat have decreased, both for bee
and pork. These cured meats includ
bacon, picked beef, picked pork, ant
lard.
