portation of 100000 pounds, which
was hailed with delight in some quar-
tiers as the death knell of high prices
is but drop in the bucket, and point
TO the fact that New York city alone
consumes about %, 100000 pounds OF beer
a week. A big ranchman from Peru
says that with the opening of the Fan
anna canal he can send sten-cent peer

II the United States does import enough
South. American beef to control prices IN
its markets, the law gives the President
ample authority to guarantee to the peo-
pie that. the imported beef WI as De up ss 60
1t must be certified by the government
from whose territory 1t comes that 1t Is
from healthy cattle, and that 1t contains
no poisonous or deleterious preservatives

standards of inspection in any, country
are not up to our own standards. ne may
put a ban upon the importation OF Its

Assistant Secretary of Agriculture Gal
loWay says that the way to get beer to
the people at reasona BILE prices is to pro-
vide municipal meat markets His sug-
gestion is borne out by the experience at
Panama, where beef, which costs the
government just as much wholesale as 1T
costs in the states, and which Is of as
good grade as is sold in the best butcher
shops in the United States. has been sell

The obliteration of the cattle tick in the
southern states. after. a fight that has
been waged Cor years, promises to be q
boon to the beef-growing industry, be-
cause il will facilitate the raising OF
young cattle in the south and their trans
portation to the farms of the corn belt
for feeding. but even this is not expected
to do much toward overcoming the ma
tional shortage of beef cattle.
I'm 1910. just three years ago, there
We're 3o,0O0,OOO cattle in the. seventeen
range states of the west, as against only
%. o00,W0 in 1913. This drop of 7,00O.O 0C
cattle in seventeen states. and this re-
markable falling off in range growing
during three-year period is unprecedent-
ed in cattle history. Nor does the drop
affect only the cattle industry: 1t hits the
sheep business as we'll In 1910 there were
o1,c0o,Oo0 sheep in the United States; in
1913 there are only o1,OO00GD. -
Add to this shortage, in beef supply. the
shortage in the corn crop, and the result
is a combination which Is likely to pro-
duce prices that will not be a source of
much comfort to the economical house
wife.
The old times of wars between the cat
tlemen shcs sheepnien of the western
states are past. They were times when
cattlemen would drive great herds OF
wild horses through a sleeping band OF
sheep, killing and manning thousands OF
them, and shooting up the shepherds;
when the sheepmen would counter by
shooting thousands of cattle and work
ing over" the brands of others. thus get
ting other thousands of cattle away from
the cattlemen; and when the cattlemen
would counter by spreading saltpetre or
their sailing grounds. where 1t could be
eaten with impunity by the cattle. but
with fatal results by sheep.
But those days of bloody wars and cruel
practices have been succeeded by days OF
fenced lands and the .encroachments q,
