At the same time the meat demand of Europe is steadily growing on ac- count of the war. There are now 9l steamships carrying chilled beef to Eng land, and those vessels have a storage capacity of about 100000 900 pounds. There are altogether 229 vessels that can carry frozen meat, and other ships are being equipped with refrigerating facilities. The most of the meat is car ried by the Lamport & Holt line steamers and by certain other vessels of the Nelson line, which are controlled by the Laport & Holt.
 The freight rate on beef to New York is now about 1 F cents per pound, and this is F -cent less than the freight rate to London. This will show you how easily the Argentine Republic can con- pete in the United States market. As to the quality of the meat, 1t all comes direct from the estancias and is from animals that have never had an ounce of grain in their lives. Nevertheless, it Is equal to or better than the average run of meat of the United States It Is not so good as our choice corn-fed beef, but it is of a very high grade. and it is growing better ever year.

In the past four years it is estimated that Argentina has spent s3,000,000 for high class bulls i'm ported from England It has brought in 5000 of them. During the years 1907 and 1908 5000 head Of cattle were fm- ported, and today there are more than 60, 900 head of pedigreed cattle regis tered in the herd book of the Argentine Rural society. Among these are 37,000 Shorthorns, 10000 Herefords, and sev- eral thousand Rolled Angus The favor ite type for beef production is the Dur ham, a breed which gives excellent results when crossed with the native COW. The Herefords are also popular and the Red Shorthorns do especially well in the alfalfa country. All breeds thrive on the pampas
 The bull Americus, which is now owned near here, had a pedigree dating back for 15 generations. He was born on February 15, 1911, and at two years old was sold for S35,000 in gold. He weighed just about a ton, and on the hoof he brought $17.50 pound, the

Origin of Some Irish Names

From the Montreal Gazette.
 German philologists are making fun of the names of the soldiers in the Irish regiments, as if the men were the de- scendants of barbarians. One professor says that the name of the Phoenix park in Dublin may be taken to illustrate the lot; 1t comes he says, from the "feenix,' an altar where human sacrifices were of- fered Any one having an acquaintance with the Irish language knows better. It is difficult to put Irish words into an English dress, but the Phoenix park is really a corruption of the Irish word "feenisk," meaning a clear and l1mpld stl cam of water such as flows to this day behind the gate lodge of the vice regal grounds. When the German experts go on to tell that the names of individual Irishmen are those of savages, one be- gins to lose faith in their knowledge. 'Here,'' says one of them. lis wretch, captured at the Asne whose name 1S Seescenn. a word of African derivation This name has nothing to do with Africa, with which the Irish had no connection in ancient or modern times It Is the Irish for a marshy or Doggy place and mayhap the unfortunate soldier was born at or near one. There is another word, Cor each, which signifies a marsh, from which the name of Cork is derived so that even to this day the peasant who comes into Cork with his eggs and butter speaks of 1t as Corcach, and part of the city is still Known as the Marsh. A writer in the Berlin Tageblatt says a common Irish name is Cashel, which is really Abys- sinian." As a matter of fact, the word, which occurs in the names of a great many townlands in Ireland, means a stone fort: 1t has no more to do with Abyssinia than with Germany or Van Dieman's land.
 What is the sense of blackguarding the Irish in this puerile fashion? Are they not mighty good fighters? If so, fight them The old Duke of Wellington said during the peninsular war that the enemy always underrated the Irish regi- ments, and invariably succumbed to them. The German professors have evidently not yet mastered the Irish language 1t is very beautiful one, but highly com plicated. Here. for instance is Berlin writer who imagines that because the word Eingarrah. so he says. means loy- alty, 1t has been supplanted of late by Eingorrin. which means disloyalty to Eng land. There are absolutely no such words in the language. He must have invented them. Whenever England has been in trouble the Irish have always stood by her till the last shot was fired. Thero Is very fine saying ascribed to Daniel OConnell: '"Sometimes we are not friendly between ourselves, but let the enemy come and hell shall not part us till he Is beaten"

chief stock and financial paper of Ar gentina, a quotation from one of the chief meat authorities of Australia as to the causes of our failing beef supply. This man is A. w. Pearse, the editor of the Australian Meat Trades Journal. He says:
 "The shortage of meat in the United States comes from the breaking up of the big ranches and the increase of grain farming and dairying. It is also caused by the demand for veal. In one year the United States killed s000,00o calves, aver aging 70 pounds each. If those calves had been kept year longer they would have averaged 600 pounds and would nave given them 4,so00O0.oOO pounds of beef, in- stead of 56O,0Oo 900 pounds of veal. Another cause of the falling off is the stock dis eases, and third is the enormous waste of meat in the states. At the hotels and restaurants there the guest is served twice as much as is required, and the result of the whole is that the meat demand is becoming greater than the supply

of the shipments are sent out by the American frigerificos and they are steadily increasing in capacity. With in the past year the Armours have erected an enormous additional plant at La Plata. and the Swifts are kill ing more beeves than ever before. They have used American methods Tn ex- tending their trade and have been ready to pay better prices than the British and Argentinos
 As a result they have had the best animals and the others had to pay the price or take what was left Since the Americans have entered the fed the value of live stock all over Argen- tina has risen. and in that way the American packers have been of great benefit to the country Today the Americans own three of the biggest packing companies of the repGblic. and two other companies in Uru quay are under United States ownership. They are now exporting more meat t1 Europe and to the United States than all of the other companies combined, and, if I am rightly informed. their shipments have already amounted so
 
 sheep. The new Armour plant will be in operation early in the summer ana when completed 1t will have q daily capacity of 2400 cattle, 6000 sheep and 1900 hogs. The La Plata Cold Storage company, belonging to the SwIfts, is being so enlarged that its daily ca- pacity will be 2200 cattle and 60OU sheep, while each company will en- ploy several thousand additional men, If these two American concerns could be run at full capacity throughout a whole year they would slaughter dur ing that time more than million and a half of cattle more than 3,000,0OO sheep and about 100000 hogs, and at the average prices of today the ami mals would be worth somewhere about s150.000.0 900. In addition to them are the other frigerificos. so that the re- public will probably be able to handle all the beef it can raise for sometime to come.
 The American packing firms of Bue- nos Aires are now shipping more meat to Europe than to the United States, and the Argentine and British packing firms here send also to our markets All of the frigerificos look upon us as one of their chief customers of tne future. and the stock raisers are our friends. They realize how our meat supply is decreasing and statements are published almost daily showing how our exports have dropped until we have now less meat than we need. They know that our cattle are fewer in mum Der than ever before. and they believe that Argentina must come in to sup ply the deficit. I see it stated today that our meat imports are rapidly growing and HOW that there is no duty on beef it is believed they will be fur ther- increased. The Herald of today says that our meatstuffs imported i'll 1911 amounted to only S4.000,000, and that in 1912 they gained 25 per cent over the year preceding, while in 1915 the amount had jumped to $15,0G0,000.

Mir Pearse was asked as to the lands owned by the United States capitalists in South America, and as to our interests in the meat-freezing establishments. He said that the coming in of the Swfts and the Armours would greatly benefit Argen- tina, and that they had already raised the prices of cattle He said that Americans are buying the pasture lands, and that one Chicago firm has already taken over 20,000.000 acres in Paraguay and they are considering the purchase Of 12.o00OO0 more. MT. Pearse advised the Australians to prchibit the killing of female calves and to refuse to ship veal to the United States.
