WHERE The HIGH COST
OF BEEF HELPS.
By Freder.1 j. daskin.

IN the chorus of protest against the
present soaring prices of meat there is
an important side Of the matter which
seems to have been overlooked. At first
glance 1t seems to be a unanimous vote
that prices are too high. but there Is
one man who has not been heard from.
While journalists journalize indignant
ly and legislators encourage the farmer
! to raise more cows, while housewives
establish public markets and the ulti-
mate consumer sadly parts with his
! ultimate dollar for small steak me-
dunn the cattleman of the west con-
| tinues to say nothing and raise steers.
The changes brought about in the
great range country that stretches
through a dozen of our biggest states
constitute one Of the most striking
features of the expensive-beef situa :
tlon- The high priced steer trails
prosperity in his wake. He has
gwen the raising of range stock q new
lease OF life as a business, and he is
revolutionizing its methods; it is due
to him that the six-cylinder automobile
IS SupplantIng the Cow-pOny, that the
daughter of the rancner is invading
the fashionable finishing schools of the
east.
The change is naturally most readily
noticeable among the smaller owners.
Inc cattle kings have always been
wealthy, but the men with 200 or 800
! head of stock, whose name is legion,
are getting a first taste OF prosperity.
II was no very difficult matter to &C
cumulate such herd a few years ago;
the difficulty lay III making it yield a
living The owner usually let the ami
mails range at will, to increase or starve
or perish from thirst in dry year
as fortune decreed, while he filled a
saddle for one of the big owners at $50
IA month. Today, that eX-cowpuNcher
! is in a fair way to be a rich man, whose
chief problem is how to dispose of his
sudden wealth. He will buy anything
| from phonosraph to all oil painting,
but his favorite purchase is an auto
mobile.
