Australia and Argentina are the
only two countries so far as known
which have greater per capita con-
sumption of dressed meat than the
United States. according to the De-
partment Of Agriculture in state
ment. Australia and Argentina are
countries Of sparse population and
vast herds and fiocks, hence meat is
exceedingly cheap, and native con-
sumption large and probably wasteful.
The per capita consumption II meat
for Australia and Argentina is esti-
mated to be about $50 pounds per an
mum. The corresponding consumption
for the United States was computed
by the Federal Bureau of Animal In.
dustry to be 172 pounds in 1909, and

less today.

WHEN CATTLE kNELT IN ADoRATIoN

Many an awe-stricken group has waited in the
chill air to see the cattle fall upon their knees in
alteration at twelve o'clock, the hour when Christ
was wrapped in swaddling clothes, An honest old
cornwall, England, man, who lived at st. Stephens
DOWNS near Launceston, said, towards the close of
the eighteenth century, that he once with some
others, made trial of the superstition. Watching
several oxen In their stalls at twelve o'clock at
night on the Gath Of December they observed the
two oldest oxen only to fall down upon their knees
and make cruel moan, like Christian creatures .
There is an old print in the British museum In
which the oxen in the stable near the Virgin and
Child represented upon their knees. AZ II in
supphant posture. This graphic representation is.
perhaps, the origin Of the foregoing superstitious
notion.
But more curious than all is an addition to this
SUPERSTITION to The effect that the brute creation
unanimously refused to acknowledge the change
OF style, from old to new, under the calendar
though on old Christmas day not only would the
bees sing their welcome song but the oxen and
asses would knee in their stalls in token of hon.
