The Meat Outlook.

| The e. S. Department of Agriculture
has inst out forth official statistics
which go far to confirm the prophesies
of those who foretell of forced accep-
Itanee by Americans of vegetarian
diet While population rapidly inereas-
es. beef cattle, hogs and sheep dimin-
fish in numbers. On Jan. l. 1907. there
were 81. $50. 900 beef cattle in the coun-
TRY Six years later there were only
&c. O3o 600. Two obvious results of this
alteration of conditions are apparent.
namely, decline of export trade in an
imals and animal products, with in
crease in imports OF the same: and a
marked rise in costs 20 domestic con-
sumers of meats for home consump-
ton. In the latter fact lies the hope
of once more inducing the breeder OF
animals and the Spectator in staple
food products to enter the field and
Iraise the ratio of supply. Fof appar-
Iently it will be with greater reluc-
|tance that Americans. so long used to
la meat diet, face any change of per-
manent kind. So long as possible they
will include flesh in their domestic
budget and dietary. And it is on this
fact that importers of supplies from
home can rely to give them a fair mar
ket.
Meat from the Argentine has begun
to find its way to Pacific coast consul
mers and no doubt will figures hence
forth in shaping conditions there. Civ
en- anything like stability in northern
Mexico there are ranges of territory
there from which supplies of ranch
grown cattle can come. In the south
lern states of tomorrow. with present
natural obstacles removed. there will
be region from which great northern
urban centers may get their meats.
Moreover. throughout the northern
states. processes of conservation can
| be applied that will increase the sup
Iply. Premature marketing of animals
lean be checked. Cheaper but equally
inourlshing sources of food for crea-
lures can be found; and such arrange
lments will give breeders a larger mar
!, gin OF profit Last but not least, law
can be invoked to restore rights of
competition to local sources of supply
/, and to local middlemen, wherever these
are unable to move freely because of
concentrated power harshly used to

"A list of a large number uf varieties of

have experienced any difficulty with

to be susceptible To this spray or who
are uncertain whether or not bordeaux

The second stage in the Haines enforce.

political defenders of the Haines reSims
are now trying to explain why drunken,
ness is on the increase again. Among
other reasons alleged. it is interesting e
note that stress is laid upon the stun
whcih brings almost immediate intoxlcd-
ton and which is in reality little better
than poison. This is the prohibition

consumption of this poisonous stun IN

The Intelligence persons" of the Ar
gus Office have seldom been able to fig
ure out anything but the value of SER
vice to the rum trust. and abuse of
law. and decent people who support the
law. AS we have pointed out before,
the campaign of the rum trust just
now is to convince all possible that
drunkenness is increasing in Maine un-
der rigid enforcement The genera
tion-old lie about a worse grade of
poison under prohibition than under
rum trust law, is being worked for all
it is worth. The Argus, Sentinel and
Biddeford Record are having all sorts
Of spasms because of the poison 9TH
ers are OBLIGED by action of the law,
to drinls-as il it we're not ALL poison,
And as if the rum trust were obliged
to furnish worse grade of poison for
its trade in times of law enforcement.
As the rum trust furnishes ALL the
stuff is easier to smuggle than bet
ter kind. or is there more risk in the
better poison because it costs more
and is seized just as easily by the OIL
GERS?
The Argus and the others working
for the interests of the booze traffic,
may as well understand first as Lasts

old tricks and old lies are played out:

tools are not satisfied with the quantity

can sell all they can find buyers for
1t is ALL poison, and if some of the
Argus intimates are determined to poi
son themselves. the sooner it is over the
better it is likely to be for their fam
lilies and friends. But don't blame the
law for the extra poisonous grade,
blame those who furnish the stuff for
lawiess traffic.
The terrific howl just now is be-
cause of the small quantity sold and
