pounds. In England good mutton ami
mails sell for as much as or more per
pound than beef, and lamb is consider
ably cheaper per pound than mutton.
With us, lambs SELL from so to so per
cent higher than ewes, and in many
shops mutton cannot be obtained. The
consequence Is that ewes for breeding
cannot be had, and therefore that the
raising even of lambs is rapidly de-
ducing animals before they have time
to replenish the flocks.
To suggest a remedy for this is all
too easy. The difficulty comes in ap-
plying any remedy effectively. So long
as folk prefer lamb instead of mutton
in the pot. lamb they will insist on
having. until failure of supply puts the
price beyond them or they are educat-
ed to a liking for mutton. Teachers of
domestic science are attempting this
education of housewives to the merits
expected to have any noticeable imme-
date effect. The pressure of the cost
of living. coupled with intelligent eff
fort on the part of producers. packers
retail dealers and public officers. must
gradually work the change If 1t be
worked. The circulation of informa-
ton concerning the food value and
comparative cheapness of mutton by
large employers of labor. banks and
other interests dependent upon the
thrift and welfare of the public would
be an experiment worth trying: and the
sheepraisers' associations might well
volunteer cooperation with these
financial and industrial agencies in an
educational campaign. Welfare work
of this nature would be decidedly prac-
tical.

THE MEAT SUPPLY.
Slaughter of Calves and Lambs I'm
portant Cause of High Prices.

From the Boston Transcript.
That the demand for veal is one ele-
ment in the high price of beef has at
intervals occurred even to the consum-
ing public. Slaughter of immature ami
mails cannot continue without lessening
the supply of meats by exactly the diff
ference in weight Of the grown steer
and the calf. The effect of calf-slaugh-
ter on beef prices would be negligible
were the total production of animals
for slaughter larger, for although the
calf grown to maturity produces more
pounds of meat, it also requires the ex-
penditure of more dollars in feed and
care AS soon, however. as the total
supply falls off. the artificial influence
of the demand law begins and prices
rise disproportionately. AS these are
the conditions now obtaining, the effect
of marketing calves instead of full
grown animals cannot be doubted.
The same effect is manifest in the
sheep industry. The fact remains that
the call for lambs as meat is response
BILE in no small part for the unsatisfac-
tory state of sheep culture. Our mar
kets call for lambs, and do not call for
mutton. England, land of "beef-eat-
ers." consumes twentysix pounds of
lamb and mutton per person; the
United States consumes less than eight

Child Labor in the South.
From the Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph.

1t is no new information which is

ITALY'S YOUTH.
National Existence of Italian People
Began in the Nineteenth Century.
From the Boston Globe.

From the Boston Globe
Although Rome was mighty when the
rest of Europe was still barbarian,
nevertheless Italy is one of the young
est nations of the world. If the news
papers sixty or seventy years ago had
printed the headline, Italy Going to
War;" our grandfathers would have
thought most Likely of proposed
struggle between the small Italian
states,. Italy" would have meant a
peninsula or some ancient history, not
4 kingdom or a nation.
The United Kingdom of Italy, like
the German Empire, is of such recent
birth that our American nation is more
than twice as old. -
Fifty years ago meetings were held
in New York, and occasionally in Bos-
ton, at which Americans voiced their
sympathy for Italian leaders who were
struggling for an Independent and a
united Italy. In January, 1871, mass
meeting was held in the Academy of
unification Of Italy. America was even
then like an older brother or an uncle
looking on encouragingly while Italy
was establishing its claim to birth
right of independence.
There was never much doubt that
Italy was for Italians, but it was a
long while before the world learned
that the Italians were for Italy.
Foreign dominance seldom meant
foreign occupancy of the peninsula,
which is almost as isolated from the
rest of Europe geographically as is
England. But through all the fourteen
centuries since the old western en-
pire was resigned to the barbarlans
there was never, until after the mid
die of the nineteenth century, any
political unity or independence or real
organized national existence in the
land known in ancient and modern
times alike as Italy.

New Zealand's Power Policy.
rom the Engineering Magazine.

Sfom the Engineering Magazine.
OF all these stores of hydro-electric
energy in New Zealand the govern
ment has primary control and has en-
harked upon the policy of developing
certain large schemes itself, but per-
mits private individuals. companies or
corporations to utilize practically any
water-power subject to an annual pay
ment for the privilege. Until the pres
emit government assumed Office in 1911,
this favorable state of things by no
means existed, Its predecessors adopt
ing the extreme, first of over
generosity. and then of almost COM
plete, obstruction. About thirteen
years ago a private company applied
for rights. to use the energy latent in
the Waipori falls. This request was
granted without any payment Not
long afterward the city corporation
wished to take over the project, and
purchased from the company the wa
ter rights which had been acquired for
nothing. This transaction so acted upon
the government that 1t switched
over TO the opposite policy of not part
ing with their water assets for any
reasonable consideration. Instead, IT
announced, after some delay. 1t in
tention of expanding 100000 upon
eight hydro-electric schemes distrib-
end Of nearly four years, one plant Is
now in operation. but in the meantime
the government, which had held Office
continuously for twenty-one years was
replaced by one whose announced in
tention was to afford much greater IA
cilities for the use of water-power
At once, a private company purchased,
for $3.50 per annum, the rights to the
Wairua falls, and its station is fast
approaching completion Other enter
prise has taken place on smaller
schemes, and is foreshadowed on a
larger scale in the near future

Cheaper Meats.
rom the Columbus Journal.

From the Columbus journal.
In these days people want porter
house steaks, lamb chops and such
high priced meat, when the fact is that
the boiled beef. when cold. is the finest
meat put on the table, when care is
taken to get the right cuts and to cook
it we'll. There is meat that one can
eat with a good conscience, for 1t Ia
cheap and the healthiest meat a person
can put on the table. A diet of tender
boiled meat will cure a good many
kinds of sicknesses
Now comes lamb days, and everybody
will want that meat. A Chicago butch
er tells his customers he doesn't keep
lamb, for the reason that 1t is a shame
for a man to pay the high price for it.
Better get brisket or plate of beef,
boil it well, and slice it up for cold. In
that way you save your money and en-
joy good health.
