MENACE OF CRASHED BEEF
Very Fine Herds Of Cattle Are Pro-
duced'in Argentina Without Mouth
full Of Grain.

Professor Herbert w. Mumford. who
spent six months of last year investi-
eating cattle conditions in Argentina.
S. A., says that very fine herds of cat
tie are produced in Argentina without
mouthful of grain. These cattle are
fed simply grass and alfalfa and were
never in a stable.
He saw breeding cattle in extra fine
flesh on alfalfa pasture, one cow In
particular showing actual rolls Of fat
on her rump, and yet she had never
tasted anything else but alfalfa from
her birth.
Grass-fed mutton has gone from Ar
gentina to London market too fat to
sell. On one ranch Of 100000 acres
there are 1S.6OO cattle. 10000 sheep
and 1000 horses-all market fat with
out pound of grain. Most of the cat
tie country is fiat and level and the
climate is ideal for growing, as bliz-
yards and severe weather are un-
known.
Argentina is a real competitor OF
the United States and has during the
past three years shipped considerable
more beef to Great Britain than has
our own country. The beef can be de-
liyered in London from Argentina as
cheaply as it can from Chicago.
Our beef growers have not awak-
ened to the dangerous competition OF
the South American country, but the
facts are indisputable. Our great
ranges have practically disappeared
and new methods of beef raising are
coming into practice. But still better
methods must be adopted, else 1t will
be impossible for our farmers to raise
cattle profitably on our high-priced
lands in competition with our south
ern competitors.

Owing to the small pcx epidemic Of

unusually heavy. The total amount

as there are only three cases now in
the city.
A communication from City Control
Ter Parry, to the council. accompany
ing the ordinance for the appropria-
ton, stated that there were bills ag-
gregating 1925 due, which had been
incurred by the health department. Mr..
Parry stated that it was absolutely
necessary that another appropriation
be made in order to meet these bills,
and also to have money in the treasury
to meet other bills, which might be in.

year. He said that it appeared as
though the epidemic had been wiped
out as there were fewer cases Of small
pox at the present time than at any
time in the past year.
Only $575 Remains.
Owing to the necessity, the rules
were suspended and the ordinance
unanimously passed. Mayor Schil-
linger Immediately signed it.
This morning City Controller Parry
proceeded to pay the bills and now
has 1915 Of last evenings appropria-
ton left in the city treasury. Dur

that paid for salaries. was $2O9.S9.
When the appropriation for the
health department was made last fall
when the city budget was being prepar-
ed, $500 was the sum set aside to op
crate this department for the present
year. By the end Of January. the en-
tire sum had been spent.
At the first regular meeting of coun-
ell in April, the necessity for addi
tional funds was pointed out and an

The peddlers are foreigners and
live in barns. They sleep in hay
mows and their persons and clothing
are in some instances very unclean
and unkempt. They peddle ice cream,
all over the city jingling little bell
as they walk to attract attention OF
probable purchasers. A state law re-
quires that Everything offered for sale

The Commercial club probably will
conduct the investigation which is to
be made. Its attention has been call
ed to the conditions of squalor in
which some of the peddlers live and
manufacture the cones. Either the
same gang Of peddlers or similar
one that operated in Dayton was ord
cred to leave there. 1t was but a
few days after the Dayton authorities
took this action that the men made
their appearance in this city. They
speak q foreign language and it is diff
ficult to converse with them. It is
presumed the city officials will take
some action fl the matter.
