il ever occurred to the persons who
talk of the loss of western grazing as
the cause of unreasonable prices for
beef that long before the ranges were
used the American people had a plen-
tiful supply of beef and mutton at
low cost? That was due to the TACT
that nearly every farmstead raised Its
quota of beef, mutton and pork Now
the ordinary farmer refuses to raise
cattle; he says it doesn't pay. he
will not raise sheep; it is too much
bother. He will not even raise pigs
alleging the high price of middilne
and other feed; in consequence meats
are scarce everywhere, and the farmer
himself haunts the country store and
paws an inordinate price for Switt's OF
Armour's pork. The modern, easy-go
ing, trouble-dodging' system OF Ameri
can farming in the East has been car
ried to amazing lengths. At nearly
every country station great crates VII
be found each day containing brea'
shipped from city bakeries for tarn
households which no longer take thu
trouble to bake. Nor does the ord1
nary farmer maintain a market gar
den or carefully raise fruit. He buy
expensive canned goods and his pre-
serves and even his pumpkin pies
The old household industries and pre-
ductive arts have been lost, and, nat
urally, the cost of living is high

fry" or young fish in the streams OF
that state. California is among the
foremost of the fish culturists, and is
doing a valuable work in conserving
a cheap food supply. Every endeavor
of this sort should be noted and emu
lated in Pennsylvania and other Com
monwTealths in order that the people
NAV have some protection from the
rising price of the food and the in
crease in the cost of living. A state
like PENNSYLVANIA with it's nearness to
the sea. with it's fine streams and riV-
ers and its propinquity to the Lake
Erie fisheries and two great bays
should Nhave a bountiful supply OF hsh
and oysters at a moderate cost. The
need for increasing the food supply Is
now imperative because of the inordi
nate price of meats, which, according
to predictions, are to go still higher
The explanation is the old familiar ONT
of the elimination of the great ranges
and free grazing of the western plains
but the high price applies to pork AM
to all other meats. The explanation
