Connolly told the police, pulled out a

faneiers and the deluded men who said
there was no place for the dual type of
COW on the farm are, unquestiona bly,,
FAR more responsible for the high prices
paid Tor meat today than the beef trust.
Increase Of Population.
The population OF this country is in
creasing with a rapidity that is, in a
sense, unparalleled in the history of
nations. The increase is about 2.0OO.-
600 a year. This means that the pop
ulation of this country during the past
decade has increased by not much less
than 20,000,o00. Think OF the increase
IN the meat supply called for to feed
2O,0O0,OOO of people. Instead OF in
crease, there has been decrease That
increase in population will continue at
an increasingly rapid rate. This means
that the increase In the population of
this country in two decades will be not
far from 10000, 900, almost as many as
the present inhabitants of the British
Isles.
In view, OF these facts it is reason
able to expect the prices OF meat to go
still higher rather than lower. IT is
true that the supply Of meat may be
much increased but such increase is,
OF necessity relatively slow. The in
crease in this production of potatoes
or apples is so rapid that, in our sea
son, it may greatly reduce the market
prices. That Is not. true. however. OF
meat. The Increase Of potatoes from
the planting may easily be ten-foid.
The increase from cattle, after the
age of breeding lis reached, is but one
ffold under the most favorable condi-
tions. The Increase of sheep is not
much more rapid. True, the increase
of swine Is much more rapid but IL is
greatly handicapped by the extent to
which hog cholera prevails in the states
where swine are numerously bred. II
is very clear, then, that for several
Years, the increase in meat production
cannot overtake the increase in popli-
lation and therefore. the prices OF meat
are more likely to rise than to fall.
In view Of these facts, the next thing
to determine is the adaptability Of
North Dakota. to the production of
meat. With reference to that fact,
why should there be doubt? The
claim is made, in this connection. that
the farmers of North Dakota, when
once equipped for growing live stock
on their farms, can make at least as
much money from the growing OF live
stock as can be made by the farmers of
the corn belt. BY equipment is meant
having a portion of land laid down to
grazing, having certain amount Of
fencing on the farm and also having q
certain amount OF suitable shelter for
the live stock in winter; but II is by
no means necessary that the same shall
be elaborate or very expensive.
Adoption Of NJ. .. to Live Stock.
The objection most commonly urged
against the adoption of North Dakota
to the production of live stock Is the
coldpess of the winters and also their
length. With reference to the first, Ii
is not serious objection to the growth
Of cattle and sheep and especially to
the gathering Of the same. 1t Is SIM
