afternoons numerous ladies attend

marked interest and attention while
Mrs. Jamison spoke of foods and

in their presence how various dish
es were made. They also ate of va

The live STOCK BUSINESS.
World Wide Conditions Insure Demand
Stronger Than Supply.

1t is probable that the storing OF
the supplies of eggs in the cold-stor-
age warehouses in order to obtain
higher prices, or to maintain the
present high prices, is an interfer-
ence with the natural supply to the
markets that has the effect of "a
corner" in that important article OF
food.
This may be true also of the but
ter supply, but the meat supply OF
the country is acknowledged to be
short, and that of the world has to
respond TO greater demands with
every passing year.
Australia, New Zealand, Argentine
and Mexico are looked to by Europe
and the United States as the lands
from which must come the supplies
over and above those furnished from
the home farms, for in neither Eur
ope nor the United States can ranch
es or ranges be regarded as now in
existence, SO far as national supplies
are concerned. Three years of civil
war in Mexico, with 100000 SOL
diers, bandits and outlaws of var
ious classes devastating the cattle
ranges of that country, and the citi-
zens who owned cattle driving them
across our borders or shipping them
to Cuba, to keep them from being
slaughtered or stolen by the forces
in arms there, have greatly depleted
Mexico's herds. and it cannot be
longer regarded as source of any
considerable supply.
Prices of cattle are rising in New
Zealand, Australia and Argentina,
and with the concentration OF the
worlds demand for beef and mutton
upon these countries prices viii
certainly continue to advance. With
the advantages our diminishing sup
ply of cattle here and the increas- !
ing demand for meat products will
give to those in the cattle business
abroad it will soon be found that
their prices win be brought up to
the point that will enable them to |
Just shade our retail prices and |
oulSl ouT udIhctb,
This country must increase its
home supply of cattle, sheep. hogs
and poultry if the people of the
cities and the Industrial districts are
TO secure reduced Rsts of meat
supplies.
They must look to our own farm
srs for their supplies, for If depen-
lent upon foreign countries for any
part of our necessities
n that line foreign combinations and
'peculative interests will grow rich
rom the high prices they will fix
ipon such articles entering our
