MORE CHICKENS SOLUTION OF
MEAT PROBLEM.

Our friends. the vegetarians. think
the joke is OH the meat eaters and
console themselves with the thought
that Americans will eventually get
down to diet of cabbage, beans, po-
tatoes and turnips.
This seems to depend on whether
people in general raise chickens.
In six years beef production has
dropped 80 per cent, over 1,4l9.OUO less
cattle were slaughtered at inspected
slaughter houses in that time, short
age of 7S0000.000 less pounds of beef,
and meat consumption has dropped
ten pounds per capita in three years.
This is ascribed to the high price of
feed. cattle ticks, hog cholera and
other diseases, the slaughter of calves
and the fact that grazing country Is
being rapidly changed into farms.
Some way must be found to fill this
food shortage.
Authorities at Washington take
pessimistic view of the whole situa-
ton.
They hold no hope for an increased
or adequate beef and pork supply for
the future, but even say of poultry
There is, therefore, no prospect of in
crease in products of this class In
greater ratio than the increase in pop
ulation." We rather think this state
ment shows our Washington poultry
prognosticators are in the Weeping
jeremiah class.
The poultry census on which they
stake their claim does not fully repre-
sent the poultry of the United States.
This farcical enumeration does not in
clude the millions of fowls and eggs
produced in cities. towns and hamlets
of this country.
1t is restricted to farms and shows
a poultry population on them of 1885,
46S354, a vast increase. % per cent Of

is the solution of the meat deficiency.
Missouri Iowa. Illinois. Indiana. Ohio
Kansas and Texas made vast advances
last year and produced 80 per cent of
the poultry crop of the country. If
other states get on the same hustle
there will be chickens and eggs tc
burn.
Farm hens are said to lay but sixty
eggs per year and at this rate they
reach 1851 .311.371 dozen annually
What a vast increase better care or

crop. There were 5.G55,153 United

: Oysters and Typhoid

From the Rochester Democrat ana
 Chronicle.
 The Journal of the American Medical
 association, published In Chicago, has espoused the cause of the oyster and
 IS disposed to defend that bivalve from
 the charge that much of the winter typhoid in certain districts comes from the pollution of oysters and clams bx sewage. It is noted that reports of cases of typhoid arising in this man ner have led many persons to banish the oyster from their tables. The Jour mai urges a more systematic attempt to settle definitely the question whether, as matter of fact. oysters and clans, l in their proper seasons are typhoid germ carriers .r | The Journal does rot go so far as to declare that oysters grown in lo~' lions which subject them to sewage 1 pollution are immune from infection. as has sometimes been asserted. But il states, as fact not generally known Ithat oysters during the cold weather hibernate, or rest; that feeding does not occur. and that the oysters become
 practically free from sewage organisms leyen when lying on sewage polluted
 beds. The contention appears to nt fairly sustained by a sereis Of obeerva, l tions made during the last winter e'
