PROFIT IN BEEF CATTLE.

The price of beef is soaring and from
the present outlook it will remain
high. This leads us to remark again
that there is very encouraging pros.
pect for people to enter the cattle In.
dustry in this section.
James Wilson, former secretary Of
agriculture, has given some OF the
causes of the high prices of beef in a
recent newspaper article. The reasons
he gives only emphasize the fact that
high prices have come to stay; that we
have become nation of beef.eaters
that we are going to eat beef no mat
ter how high it grows; that we have
little hope of import beef holding do.
meStiC beef below its present price,
and that the breeder of beef can safely
rely on prices approximating present
prices for years to come.
Mr., Wilson gives as the causes of
high beef prices the increase in the
population of the country and the de.
crease in the production of beef; the
disappearance of many of the great
cattle ranches of the west following
the passage of law against fencing
the public lands; reduction in the mum.
Der Of cattle coming from Mexico, be-
cause of Mexican civil disturbances;
increased demand for corn. which has
deferred feeders from putting the fin.
,ish on cattle that would haYe been pos.
Sible with cheaper grain.
Other countries, like Argentina and
Australia, says Mr.. Wilson, nave no
beef supply large enough to send us
enough cattle to make an impression
on our markets. He says that while
Argentina and other South American
countries have large grazing areas
they do not understand the cattle
business.
There is no section better adapted
to raising beef cattle than this section.
The climate is mild, grazing is good
almost all the year round and feed
crops can be produced cheap. With
the advent of the silo the prospect is
all the more favorable, True there is
now aud then an outbreak of Charlton
that does considerable damage in some
sections but even with this disease the
per centage of stock that die with it is
small. The stoCkmen are now cooper.
atiing in measures to prevent out.
breaks and we predict that in a few
years this section will be able to con.
troll the disease absolutely.
There ought to be great promise
here for stock raising even by the
small farmer.

During the last ten years our acre
yield increased, but not half as much
as the increase in population. We
have all heard the old Dutch
proverb quoted before, but we
cannot quote 1t too often: mo grass,
no stock; no stock, no manure; no
manure, no crops" Holland is almost
entirely a grass and stock country,
and lands are worth on an; average
$500 per acre. These people have
found that they can make more out
of land from grass and live stock than
they can by cultiVating it.
Unnumbered acres Of hill land In
the cotton belt are making less than
one-third bale of cotton per acre, and
at the same time making poverty for
those filling them. The cost Of COM

We are sending millions to the
northern states every year to pay for
pork products, dairy products and
beef. This money should be kept at
home and deposited in our banks un-
til they are full to overlooking and the
rate Of interest lowered to, say, six
per cent, because of the abundance
OF money. Then we will have the
necessary money to build good roads,
to pay good teachers better salaries
to teach longer terms, to improve our
farms and to build comfortable homes
and put telephones and Libraries In
them. Then our boys and girls will
stay on the farm, and we will behold
prosperity in every department of the
commercial world.
