The CAUSE OF
HIGH LIVING
CATTLaMEN ARE NOT BEEE-
FITTED BY HIGH PRICED
EAT.

The Government returns show
that, although there has been a
marked increase in the price of
farm stuff generally, this has not
been true Of cattle, especially the
unfed cattle Of the ranges, says
Inis IL. Weed in an article in
Success Magazine. The con
sumers cannot lay the high price
of meat to the cowman. It's the
dealers and the railroad between
us and the cowman who bring up
the price. Some years, even whe
beef had been very high in the
retail market, the cattleman, af-
ter he has subtarcted the carry
ing cost from the sale price Of
his animals, has been receiving
a price below par. Although this
rate robbery was enormously I'M
just, and although the capital re
presented in the live stock in
dustry is equal to seventy-three
percent of the par value of the
stocks and bonds issued by our
railways, the transportation cor
porations were SO gigantic, and
the individual cattleman so small
by comparison, even though he
might be a "cattle king that
he couldn't help himself. Every
year he had to hold out his hand
to the bee.
The Association, however, fl
nally got in it's sting. After a
fiye-years' fight they helped get
the Interstate Commerce Act SO
amended in 1908 that the Inter
state Commerce Commission has
the power to prescribe rates. This
resulted in a reduction of from
SIS to 81 per car on cattle rates,
and has saved the cattlemen mil
lions Of dollars. Even then the
Santa Fe Railroad, and probably
other roads operating in the same
territory, were able to make, as
shown in the Texas Cattle Raj
sers case, a modest 1913 per cent
profit.
Rates, however, + not the
cowman's only trials of transpor-
tation. Perhaps he speaks for
cars three months ahead, and
drives his 1000 or 5000 cattle to
the freight yards at the time
agreed upon only TO find an emp
ty track. At once begins the
expense of buying fodder for the
herd, and the sitting around
watching them eat up the profits.
When the cars finally arrive, il
the number is short, the animals
have to be crowded in with the
almost certain risk of more loss.
Then perhaps the ars crawl over
the country at the rate of twelve
miles an hour, and this inefficien
cy costs the cowman still more,
in fodder. and in the shrinkage

creatures suffering from crowd
ing, from long standing, and
from thirst.
To prevent this needless waste,
the Association is urging the III

prescribe the speed limit when
necessary. to secure reasonable
service, and the proper treatment

Their Diet. Plea For
Protection.

New York, July 13.-That mos
q%uitoes, flies GRO ther insect pests
are preyed upon by nearly one
thousand varieties OF American
birds, of which the vanishing
shorebirds occupy a prominent
place, is shown in a special bull
letin that is to-day being prepar-
ed to be sent throughout the
country from the headquarters of
the National Association Of AT
dubon Societies in this city. Bias
ed upon recent Investigations Of
the government Biological Sur
yey, this circular of warning will
present proof that for every
shorebird of the thousands that
are now allowed to be killed, ma
ture S fight to keep down the
spread dI~ase and crop pla-
que is weakened by the loss OF a
very active agent. Unless the
Killdeer, the Upland Ployer, The
Sandpiper ando ther shoreibrds
are speedily granted adequate
protection, hygienic and agricul-
tural conditions all over the con
tinent will undoubtedly suffer, it
is declared.
Nine species of the shorebirds
thata re found in almost every
region of this country are known
TO consume enormous quantities q
mosquitoes, for whose extinction
many millions of dollars have
been spent by the people of sew
eral sections. Scientific eXamin-
alton of the stomachs of twenty
eight of the Northern haralarope
variety of these birds is reported
by the government authorities to
have just disclosed the. fact that
% per cent of their diet had con
sisted of such noxious mos lni-
toes as the salt marsh breed,
which the authorities of this city
are now attempting to suppress
at great expense. These birds
which do so much to check the
mosquito plague and its attend
ant spread of disease through the
continent, + shown to be among
the species whose extinction is
at this time threatened on ac-
count of lax laws for their proper
protection.
Grasshoppers, locusts and
craneflies that destroy the far
mers' crops as well as. h~orseflies
and mosquitoes that plague his
livestock are the natural prey of
the disappearing shorebirds, ac-
cording to the warnings now be-
ing sounded by the workers of
the Audubon associations. The
waning forces of the killdeer and
Upland Plover are also able to
destroy the North American few

Few OF our native birds need

bert Pearson, secretary of the
National Association of Audubon
Societies, 1874 Broadway, today.
I'm our constant campaign to
