The Meat Situation

The shortage in che supply of meat
producing animals in the United States
is steadily becoming more pronounced,
and it is evident that the country is
facing an era of short production of
meat In the last six years there has
been decline of over 80 per cent in
the number of beef cattle in the coun-
try, while the population and the con-
seuuent demand for meat have been in
creased.
More than half of the meat produced
in the United States is slaughtered
under government inspection. A de-
crease of over IS per cent is shown in
the number of animals killed under
the inspection in the first three months
Of this year as compared with the same
period of last year.
The year 1912 was the year of high
prices for all classes of food animals,
as is evidenced by the greatly increas-
ed average prices of live stock at
Chicago, the representative market of
the country. Thus, the average price
of cattle native steers) for 1912 was
$7.95, as against S. so for 1911, or an
increase of 22.31 per cent, while the
advance in range steers was still great
er, being 81. So per cent. The average
price of hogs in 1912 at the same mar
ket was $7.55, as against SGT for
1911, which is an increase of 1863 per
cent. Similarity the average prices of
sheep and lambs rose from 1896 and
$3.50, respectively, in 1911 to 81. SIS and
81. 10, respectively, in 1912, which lis
an increase of ISL per cent tor sheep
and 20. "a per cent for lambs.
Unfortunately, when prices of live
stock rule high, as was the case in 1910
there is natural tendency for farm
ers to rush everything salable to
market, including immature animals
and, worst of all, breeding animals.
This inevitable brings about future
shortage, and so the country suffers
from alternate periods of comparative
and real stingency, while producers Of
ten lose heavily through the instability
of prices.
With our diminished production in
the face of the heavy demand and high
prices of the home market, we no long
err have surplus for export, and it is
no wonder that our export trade in
meat animals and products has declin-
ed heavily. Our once great trade with
England in cattle and fresh beef has
disappeared, and the only considerable
items now shipped to foreign markets
are prepared hog products such as
bacon, hams, and lard. England is now
drawing its imported beef supply from
Australia and New Zealand as we'll as
Argentina. The Australian colonies
are sheep rather than cattle countries
and export probably more than four
times as much mutton and lamb (by
weight) as beef The number of
cattle in Argentina showed a decrease
at the last census Q91D as compared
with the preceding one $1,000.
The United States no longer has the
former abundant supplies of cattle
raised cheaply on the open range. The
range is being cut up and fenced off
into farms or diverted to sheep graz
ing. There has also been a great in
crease in the price of corn and cher

Paraguay's "Spider-Lace."

Missionaries in Paraguay more than
200 years ago taught the native In
dams to make lace by hand. Since
that day the art has greatly develop
ed, and in certain of the towns lace
making is the chief occupation. Al
most all the women, many children,
and not a few men are engaged in
the industry. A curious fact with ref
erence to the Paraguayan laces is that
the designs were borrowed from the
strange webs woven by the semi
tropical spiders that abound in that
country. Accordingly, this lace is by
the natives called nanduti, which
means spider web."-Harper's

FARMING MORE PLEASANT

One of the cheerful indica-
lions of the times is the rapid
introduction of home conven-
fences to make country life sat-
lsfylng, wholesome and inter
esting. Many comforts enioved
by city people like the water
IN the home, gas and electricity,
up-to-date heating appliances,
are still unsupplied in country
homes; yet these things are COM
Ing. And when provided, these
things will make the country
nome even more comfortable
than the city home. Farm water
systems carrying water to all
parts OF the home and barn.
supplying the bathroom and
making the problem of of sewage
disposal easy, have been intro
duced into the country and the
experiment has been found both
indispensable and desirable.
Gasoline engines, windwills
motors, farm tools and machines
are now available for all farm
purposes; and these are being
improved and made better, thus
furnishing the maximum eficien-
cy at least cost, The greatest
neglect, if any, has been in the
house. But woman is now to
have her inning. The small gaso-
line engine now furnishes the
power, operating the washing
machine, the churn, the ironing
machine. The cost is little and
the results more than satisfac-
tory.
After all, it is the addition of
these conveniences that adds to
the JOY of country living, as we'll
as the larger profits in the ac-
tivities of the farm. AS farmers
we are not simply to make,
more money to buy more land to
make more crops, as the old
saying goes; we want to make
more money not simply to save,
but to spend and enjoy. To save
a little and to buy what you need
and want is a blessing.
1t is true we can do without
many desirable things, but when
mechanical devices have been
developed for the farmers use,
and if they lessen his tolls and
labors, why not take them up ?
We can continue to draw water
from the well without the pump;
we can also continue to harvest
wheat with the cradle, to plant
our corn with the hoe, or thresh
our grain with a fail. We can
use these old methods, but we do
not and will not; and why should
we? They have been replaced by
improved equipments and ma
chimes. The manufacture of
these various mechanical devices
has become a vast business, Civ
ing employment to hundreds
of men; and the demand for
them is constantly increasing.
They are a powerful argument
for the betterment of country
life and the making of the farm
a pleasant abode for all classes.

Adam
BY GEORGE FITCH,
Author Of AT Good Old Siwush.s

n DAM, whose rear name seems to
~ have succumbed to the tooth of
time, was a citizen of Eden and
other eastern points about 1900 3. c..
His record was romantic and brilliant.
Born an orphan and later thrown out
on his own resources at Il time when
employment was VIGOROUSLY hard to get,
he succeeded in living 900 years and
becoming the worlds greatest ancestor.
No photographs of Adam are extant
anG no historical society has preserved
the cottage in which he first saw the
light. He Is known to have been wild
in his youth, having seen snakes. and
shortly after having been appointed Gus
tOdian for life of the Garden of Eden,
he was bounced for stealing apples. Later
on he steadied down, however. and lived
irreErOachably and peTseveTingly for
many centuries. accommodating grIudchi'-
dren to the SD degree and holding
Thanksgiving family dinners each year
in some capaciOus valley with a two
mile table down the middle
Adam was not an educated man. There
was no learning to pick up when he
was young, and besides 1t was 10000
miles and 5000 years to the nearest
Carnegie library. He was no politician
and never made but one speech. from
which speech, however. wOmankind Is
only now recovering. He Is famous Urin-
cipally for his work in the census bureau.
Appointed head of the vital statistics
