BEEF FAMINE IS
CAUSE OF PRICE
AGAIN SOARING

The Perth Amboy housekeeper
will find boost in her meat bill for
this month compared with last
month, according to the wholesale
meat dealers, who declare the price
of beef has been raised from one and
one-half to two and one-half cents
per pound, since the first Of July
The dealers declare that the price
is at least two cents per pound high
er than at this time last year.
The wholesalers say If 1t we're not
for the free beef coming from Aus
tralia and Argentina under the new
tariff, meat would be so high that
very few people could afford the lux
ury. The soaring Of prices Is at
tributed to beef famine in this
country, dealers declaring that farm
ers instead of raising cattle have
raised grain.
The increase of one and one-half
to two and one-half cents per pound
Is from the wholesaler to the retailer
according to the grade of meat, and
the consumer may well know what
proportionate increase to him will
be made by the retailer. Pork, how
ever, Is the same price on the local
market today as 1t was last year
seemingly there Is no scarcity oil
hogs in this country. The increase
In the price of beef is not confined
to this city or state, but is nation,
wide.

u. S. Meat Consumption Per Capita

The only countries reported as hav-
ing a greater per capita consumption
of dressed meat than the United States
are the Australian commonwealth and
Argentina. These, it is well known,
are countries of sparse population and
vast herds and hocks; hence meat is
exceedingly cheap and the native con-
sumption large and probably wasteful.
The per capita consumption of meat
for Australia and Argentina is estimated
to be in the neighborhood of ESQ
pounds per annum; it may possibly be
even greater. The corresponding con-
sumption for the United States was
computed by the United States Bu-
reau OF Animal Industry to be l72
pounds in 1909. and ii is estimated to
be about ten pounds less at the pres
ent time. This is much greater than
the British consumption, the largest in
Europe, which is slightly under l20
pounds per inhabitant per annum.

Cost Accounting" (Farmers' Bulletin
No. 572).
No previous knowledge Of bookkeep-
ing is necessary to understand the sys-
tenn outlined, and if the farmer follows
the suggestion he will find them of
value in estimating the profits OF losses
on his business every year. The sys-
tenn as described has been tried for
three years in New York by So farmers
and under various conditions. The
bulletin may be had free on application

NO PENSIONS FOR WIDOWS
WHEN THEY RE-MARRY
There Are Now us Women Receiving
Pensions on Account of the Death
of Their Husbands

A little clause in the workmen's com
pensation act, providing that in case a
widow receiving a pension from the state
remarries, the amount put aside as
reserve shall be returned to the acct
dent fund, has resulted in enriching
the accident fund TO a total of $780,
576.44 to date.
Nineteen Of the widows receiving
pensions have remarked thus far. On
the average they drew pensions only Il
months and then found a second man.
In some cases only two or three months
elapsed.
In each instance the industrial insur-
ance commission has made lump sum
settlement Of $24o with the widow, un-
der the provisions of the law, Il IL
returned the balance of the reserve
money to the accident fund.
In a number of cases, however, al
though no further provision is made for
the widow, dependent children of the
first marriage must be cared for, and
the state continues to pay a pension on
their account.
A total OF 215 widows are now re-
ceiving pensions from the state on ac-
count OF the death Of their husbands as
the result industrial accidents.

Hog Cholera

During the last year there has been
a comparatively large number OF hog
cholera outbreaks in the Northwest.
The condition, OF course, will continue
to increase unless every hog owner does
his utmost to suppress it. Where the
disease has not yet occurred it is posi-
bic to prevent its introduction.
The disease is due to infection and
is usually introduced by new hogs from
injected regions being added to the
herd; the infection may also be carried
on the clothing OF human beings, by
birds, dogs, coyotes, and in streams.
The disease is usually recognized by
the fact that hogs begin dying sudden
ly and rapidly.
When an outbreak occurs it is well
to Immediately call veterinarian, pre-
ierably one who is employed for this
purpose by the state. If the disease
proves to be cholera it is advisable to
Immediately separate the well hogs from
the sick ones and isolate them as CON-
pletely as is possible. All carcasses
should be burned or deeply buried and
covered with quicklime. All pens,
houses, utensils and feeding troughs
should be Thoroughly disinfected with l
part crude carbolic acid to 80 parts of
water.
There is at the present time on the
market serum which, if properly made
and injected, saves large percentage
of both the we'll and sick hogs, and if
the serum can be obtained it is highly
recommended. It should be admins
tered by a competent veterinarian.

fully carried out will probably be the

CAREFUL perusal, after which if you are
favorably impressed, you will doubtless
want big block of stock. The pro-
motors Of this new industry had not in
tended that the news OF their company
should be made public for several weeks,
but, as in other cases, the Echo re-
porter got tip, and, well it had to
come out. While it is not definitely
known who the officers Of the company
will be, it is rumored that L. J. Nelson
has become deeply interested in the
movement and will probably take a
large block Of stock and become presi-
dent Of the company. Mr.. Nelson,
who is an attorney at-law by profession,
is known to be an honest and consci-
entious business man and those who
contemplate purchasing stock can rest
assured that this is no swindle OF get
rich-quick Wallingford scheme. While
the reporter did not get an interview
from Mr.. Nelson, believing he would
have nothing to say on the matter.
Our informant tells US that the follow
ing letter is responsible for the whole
thing. The letter which was from the
Washington Fur Co., reads as follows
Dear SIR
Knowing that you have some in
terest in the fur business, I take the
liberty of presenting you with what
seems to be a most wonderful business
proposition, and which, no doubt you
will take lively interest in and sub
scribe toward the formation of this COM
pany.
The object of this company is to
operate large cat ranch in or near An
acortes, Washington, where land can be
purchased for this purpose.
To start with, we collect about, say
100000 cats. Each cat will average
twelve kittens per year. The skins
run from 10 cents each for the white
ones to rs cents for the pure black.
This will give US twelve million skins
year to sell on an average Of thirty cents
piece, making our revenue about
$4,000 day gross.
A man can skin so cats per day for
$500. 1t will take about 100 men to
operate the ranch and therefore the net
profit will be about $1,000 day.
We will feed the cats on rats and
will start a rat ranch next door. The
rats will multiply four times as fast as
the cats, therefore, if we start with one
milton rats, we will have four rats day
for each cat, that is plenty.
Now then, we will feed the rats on
carcasses of the cats from which the
skins have been taken, giving each rat
fourth of a cat.
It will thus be seen that the business
will be self-sustaining and automatic all
the way through. The cats will eat the
rats and the rats will eat the cats and
we will get the skins and the coin.
Awaiting your prompt reply and trust
ing that you will appreciate the oppor-
tunity that I give you and that you will
grasp same and get rich quick, re-
main,
