The sober, quiet innocent looking cam
els are always objects of no little inter-
est. With the herd in the mighty Haag
shows which are billed for St. Joseph,
September 20, are found some OF the fin
est specimens ever exhibited in this or
any other country, including the only
living baby wild black camel known to
man, IFS mother having died upon its
birth. While party of hunters were in
the high and cold regions near the lake
of Lobnar last December, in search OF
rare animals for the mighty Haag shows,
the men sighted a small number OF wild
&mmels and singing one from the num-
Der succeeded in capturing it. Never hav-
ing seen the like before, the collectors
became fired with the desire to show them
to the mighty Haag show patrons, but
were not successful in showing the origi-
nal of the capture, but baby camel

That great daily the New Orleans
Times-Democrat has reduced Its
subscription price, as will be seen
by the rates published elsewhere in
this issue.
AS a newspaper, the Times-Dem-
ocrat compares most favorably with
papers published in cities twice the
size of New Orleans, and that it is
able financially to make this reduc-
ton in rates is evidence of the pros
perity enjoyed by our big contem-

Since the above was written there
was held at Chicago convention of
Meat Packers at which the subject
of the meat supply of the United
States was discussed by a number of
speakers. All of them agreed that
if the decrease in meat production
of the last ten years is not stopped,
the question of the meat supply will
be most serious.
The report of the executive COM
mittee was, in part, as follows:
THE American meat packing
house situation and that of the con-
sumers of meat food products in
this country are both in condition
more precarious than at any other
time in our history. We are facing
conditions in the production Of meat
food products which would have
been thought impossible ten years
ago. The farmers are not furnishing
nearly a sufficient number of animals
to keep the packing houses in oper-
alton on anything like full time and
this results in heavy losses, owing
to the lack of volume of business
and there are seems no prospects OF
relief. Despite the higher prices for
live stock of all kinds, statistics show
that the farmers not only are not
increasing their production of meat
food animals but that such product
ion is decreasing at an alarming
rate. "
Among the remedies suggested by
the speakers were: Every small
farmer should raise two beef steers
a year to offset the decreased. pro-
duction of the great ranches OF the
west.
Substitution of corn for cotton in
the Southern States and the conse-
ouent development Of the cattle and
hog production.
AS evidence of the gravity OF the
situation the American Packers As
ISOLATION voted to raise $500, 600
with which to conduct campaign
of education among farmers and cat-
tie raisers." This fund to be expend-
ed in teaching farmers the advant-
ages of cattle raising and how to
care for cattle.
