What Keeps Beef So High.

When range cattle that have never
eaten grain bring the owner 10 cents
pound in Chicago, one potent cause
for the high price of beef for TIE
table is demonstrated Ten cents for
every pound of flesh, fat, horns, hoofs.
hide and tallow easily explains the
final high cost of beefsteak to the
consumer.
These grass-fed cattle are able to
bring $3.50 or more a head in the
stockyards of Chicago because there
are few of them compared with the
great supply of several years ago.
The great plains of the West have
become so restricted by the advance
of the farmers that the number Of
cattle that can be supported by the
limited range that is left them is not
sufficient to furnish the country, as
formerly, with an abundant supply of
good beef.
This condition is not going to
change. The ranges left will grow
smaller rather than larger, and the
supply of Western cattle will decrease
rather than increase. Our Eastern
farmers have fallen into the habit of
selling their calves for veal because
there was not sufficient profit in rails
ing them for beef and selling them in
competition with the more cheaply
raised range cattle of the Vest
Philadelphia Press.

CHESTNUTS CLOG MAIL

No one ever thought of chestnuts
as Cutting the United States mail,
but the institution of the Parcel Post
has brought about many changes in
the handling of mail and the products
which Uncle Sam carries for so much
per ounce.
Now comes the news that Highland,
Va, has burdened its carriers simply
through the sending of small parcels
of chestnuts from Highland homes to
friends in other sections. The few
cents it costs to send the remainder
makes it all the easier for the people
living in the rural districts to remem-
Der those who work where the hum
of the wheels is all powerful.
The back line between Staunton and
Highland is overburdened with chest
nuts. At the intermediate stations be-
tween that city and the largest towns
of the mountain county extra provis-
ion has to be made to handle the
chestnuts. They come in bags, par
GELS and boxes. The stream is con-
tinuous. All old friends are being re-
membered according to carriers who
come in ladened with the pack ges
addressed to people in distant cities.
The chestnut crop is abundant this
year.

Urges Girls to be Thrifty.

Under the caption, "How the Farm
er's Daughter May Earn Pin Money"
the Department of Agriculture has
Just issued bulletin urging country
girls to can fruit, pickles and pre-
serves to sell to city folks who have
a taste for preserves like mother
used to make"
AS an instance of the probability
OF canning" the department cites the
case of a Virginia woman who has
made a national reputation putting
UP and selling pin money pickles"
She began a few years ago in mod
est way, but now her products are
so popular that they can be found
nearly everywhere in the United
States. Another woman, the depart
ment says, has built up a profitable
lsiness making chowchow, which
, sells for SO gallon.
y Big Demand.
"These are only samples of what
hundreds of young women have done
to earn pin money by putting up can
ned goods at home" the bulletin con-
tinues. people are continually de-
manding better quality of canned
goods and are willing to pay bet
ter price for them. The farmer S
daughter who desires to earn pin
money may avail herself of this de-
mand, and with care and persever-
ance learn to put up canned goods
which she can sell at a profit"
The bulletin, while encouraging the
young woman in her efforts to make
business proposition of putting up
fruits and vegetables, cautions against
over enthusiasm. 1t advises that the
teginner experiment with a few cars
before going too heavily into the pro-
ject. If the first cans keep well, she
may be encouraged to proceed.

TO MAKE CONCENTRATED AP-
PILE CIDER ON A CONNER
CIAL SCALE.

The specialists of the fruit and vege-
table utilization laboratory of the depart
ment have completed arrangements for
commercial test Of the recently discoy-
cred method Of concentrating apple cider
by freezing and centrifugal methods.
As result, a cider mill in the Hood
River Valley, Oregon. will this fall nm
dertake to manufacture and test On the
retail market 900 gallons of concen
trated cider, which will represent 1000
gallons of ordinary apple cider with only
the water removed.
The new method, it is believed
makes possible the concentrating Of cider
in such way that it will keep better
than raw cider, and also be reduced in
bulk that it can be shipped profftably
long distances from the apple-growing
regions. The old attempts to concen-
trate cider by boiling have been failures
because heat destroys the delicate flavor
of cider. Under the new method moth
ing is taken from the cider but the wa
ter, and the resultant product is thick
liquid which contains all the apple-juice
products and which can be restored to
excellent sweet cider by the simple addi-
ton of four parts of water, The ship
pers and consumers, therefore, avoid
paying freight on the water in ordinary
cider. In addition, the product, when
properly barreled because Of its higher
amount of sugar keeps better than raw
cider, which quickly turns into vinegar.
The process. as described by the de-
partment' specialists, consists of freezing
ordinary cider solid. The cider Ice is
then crushed and put into centrifugal
machines such as are used in making
cane sugar. When the cider ice is
whirled rapidly the concentrated juice is
thrown off and collected. The water
remains in the machine as ice.
At ordinary household refrigerator
temperatures this strip like cider will
keep perfectly for month or six weeks.
and if kept at low temperatures in cold
storage will keep for prolonged periods.
At ordinary house temperatures it, of
course, will keep shorter time.
To make the concentrated strip, the
cider mill must add to its equipment an
ice-making machine and centrifugal ma
chinery, so that the process is not prac-
L. II
are hopeful, however that the CONNER
cial test soon to be inaugurateed in Ore
gon will show that i, will be impossible
for apple growers to concentrate their
excess cider and ship it proftably to the
far South or to other conproducing
regions. The specialists also believe
that it will enable apple producers to
prolong the market for cider

RETALIATION TO
REVENUE
BRING

The reassessment imposed by the
State Tax Commission on traders and
the additional license which these
dealers have been forced to take Out,
after the commission has found their
stock in trade underestimate, will
net the State a big revenue, which
for years has been overlooked. In
one county, it is estimated, the addi-
tional revenue of the State will be
$500 and to the county in increased
taxes $4,000. The increase is proper
tionate over the State.
Licenses Below Stock Value.
Of the more than 10000 traders in
Baltimore city rs per cent, it is said,
had taken out licenses which by no
means covered their "stock in trade
generally kept on hand at the princi-
pal season of sale" as provided by
law. Since the order was issued by
the commission fixing a fair estimate
of the stock traders have been flock
ing to the office of Adam Deupert.
Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas,
to pay the additional license.
Very few exceptions have been reg
istered, indicating that the traders
realize the fairness of the amount
fixed by the commission. Some few
of the dealers have asserted that the
fixtures, which are excluded from
computation in fixing the stock-in-
trade to be considered in imposing the
license fee, have been included in the
computation.
Effort To Equalize.
The effort of the State Tax Com
mission is in the direction of equall-
zing the license fees and in dealing
fairly with all the traders. Some of
them have for years, it is said, been
placing valuation far below even a
fair average of their stock. In some
instances an increase in the valua-
ton placed on stock of several thous-
ands of dollars has brought no OBJ
lection.
More than half the traders in Bal
timore have been taking out ''fe-
male traders license" for which they
pay Sc, placing the value of their
stock at less than $500. In Balti-
more and Allegany counties the pro-
portion of those who slide in under
that head is even larger.
Through insurance carried on stock
and other means the commission has
arrived at a basis on which to COM
pute the valuations.
Many We're Not Taxed.
In many of the counties and even
in Baltimore. it has been found that
traders were not assessed on their
stock in trade. These Irregularities
have been picked out by the commits
sion, and the additional taxes that
will result will mean much in the
way of revenue. In the counties alone
there are 1920 traders who have
licenses on their stock but who are
not assessed on that same stock.
1t is impossible to compute the rev.
enue that will be brought in, but it
will be far more than enough to meet
the expenses of the State Tax Com
mission.

The prospects now for big business
and an INCREASE in receipts are splen-
did. November and December are,
perhaps two of the best months of
the year. Especially December, which
brings in the holiday season. Taking
all things into consideration, it is
reasonable to believe that quite a
comfortable increase in receipts
will be made when the final statement
is made at the end of the fiscal year.
