In America this gradual expan-
sion appears to have begun already
Between 1907 and 1913 there was
a marked decline in the number Of
cattle in the country, but in the
last two years this not only has
stopped but has given way to a
perceptible increase. The estimated
number on farms and ranges on
January 1, 1916, 61,441 900, is, how
ever, still much below the CORES
ponding figure for 1907, 72,534,0O0.
With the exception of temporary
checks due to losses from hog
cholera, there has been in recent
years a persistent increase in the
production of swine. On January
1, 1916, the number in the country
was estimated at 6S,000,000, as
compared with 5S,2OO,OO0 in April,
1910. On the other hand, the num-
Der of sheep declined during this
period from 52,5OO,000 in 1910 to
40 100000 in 1916. AS the increase,
however, is not sufficient to offset
the increase in cattle and swine, it
may be said that the total produc-
ton of meat in the United States
is increasing, but that this increase
is not yet proportionate to the
growth in population.
The available supply of meat
would be much greater if it were
not for the enormous losses caused
by disease and exposure. Since
1900 it is estimated that from l.
100000 to 1,475,000 cattle have
died each year from disease and
from 100000 to 100000 from ex-
posure. With sheep, the losses from
disease have been about the same,
but from exposure much larger.
With swine the relative prevalence
of hog cholera is perhaps the de-
termining factor in the annual loss.
In 1894 this was as low as 2,2OO,-
600, but in 1914 it amounted to
100000. If these 100000 hogs
had been saved, it is said, they
would have produced enough meat
to furnish every family in the Unit
ed States with 40 pounds of pork.
Despite these facts the United
States remains the greatest meat
eating as well as the greatest meat
producing nation in the world. APP
proximately twice as much meat
is consumed in this country as in
Germany before the war, and the
total normal consumption in Russia,
Great Britain, and France is less
than in Germany. The per capita
consumption is also far greater in
this country than anywhere else
with the exception Of Australia and
New Zealand.
Our own exports now consist
largely of pork and pork products,
and these are derived to a great
extent from corn. In the fiscal years
1914 and 1915 we imported more
fresh, chilled, and frozen beef and
mutton than we exported and more
beef of all descriptions was import
ed in 1914 than was exported. In
this limited respect we have joined
the great majority. Practically the
whole of the worlds export trade id
meat is maintained by nine coun-
tries-Argentina, Australia, Cana
da, Denmark, Mexico (nnder normal
eonditions), New Zealand, the Unit
ed States, and Uruguay.

MEAT PRODUCTION
Increasing In United States, but Not
Keeping Pace with Growth
In Population.

The meat production has not kept
pace with the increase in popula-
ton and that its failure to do so,
combined with increased cost of
production and diminished purchas-
ing power of the money unit, has
contributed TO higher prices, not
only in the United States but all
over the world, is stated in Part
of the exhaustive report on the meat
situation in the preparation Of
which specialists of the depart
ment have been engaged for some
time. This country, it is said, is
participating in a worldwide move
ment, and it is not expected that
the situation will undergo any radi-
cal change in the immediate future.
On the other hand, it is believed
that there will be a gradual growth
and expansion in the worlds pro-
duction of beef, mutton, and pork
which may or may not equal the
rate of increase &C the meat-eating

average Of $50 day was made in the

At present work is proceeding with
the erection of the south shore can

WORLDS BIGGEST BRIDGE
Long cantiIever Spanning st. Law
renee at Quebec

Long CantIleVer spanning 81. L$aW-
renee at Quebec
Montreal, May AFTER eight
years of work, the famous Quebec
bridge over the st. Lawrence river
near the city Of Quebec, the largest
cantilever bridge in the world. is APP
preaching completion. By next Octo-
Der according to present estimates, the
great structure. which will cost ST.
100000, will be finished, so for as steel
construction is concerned, and work
trains will be running over it.
The Quebec bridge wins the title of
the largest cantileyer bridge in the
world by a margin of ninety feet in the
length of its greatest span, the Firth
of Forth bridge in Scotland coming
second. The piers OF the Quebec
bridge are 1900 feet apart and the SUI
spended span is $40 feet long.
The work of building the Quebec
bridge was undertaken eight years ago
by the Canadian government. 1t was
one Of the great schemes conceived
under the administration of Sir VIII
fred Laurier and his liberal cabinet,
and forms part Of the great National
| Transcontinental system, the bette
noir' OF the Canadian government to.
day. The first government guarantee
was for S6,000,000 sum at that time
| estimated as sufficient for carrying out
/ the enterprise.
During the construction of the bridge
thus begun, the structure gave way,
some 80 persons losing their lives in
the resultant disaster. The work was
begun all over again. and by the time
the structure is complete the expend-
iture will be almost triple the original
estimates.
The cantileyer principle involves the
construction of two long spans with
piers under their centers and not at
the ends, as in other types OF bridges
A central or connecting span is hung
between the free ends of each can't.
lever These high members can be
built out from the piers member by
member on one side and then on the
other, so as to keep the weight OF the
growing span properly balanced on the
supporting pier. No scaffoding Or
| false work is necessary with this type
Of construction, and navigation of the
stream is not impeded. In many posi-
tions the cantiieyer is the simplest and
most economical method OF bridging.
Comparison between the Quebec
| bridge and the stupendous structure
erected over the Firth of Forth in
Scotland by Sir Benjamin Daker is ma.
tural. The Firth of Forth bridge has
one tower on the Island OF Inchsarvie
and it is 25l feet aide. The distance
between adjacent faces OF the support
ing piers is ITO feet, as against 1900
feet in the case of the Quebec bridge.
An interesting feature of the Quebec
bridge is that the anchor or shore end
OF the span and the free end balance
each other so closely that there is only
about 1000 tons of difference between
them, the free end weighing about
24,0O0,000 pounds and the shore end
260O0,000 pounds
During the past season about go,
600 tons of steel were erected. The
estimated total weight of the bridge
is $1,000 tons. The record days ton.
mage is 1915 was G70 tons on the south
shore traveller, although there were
several days in which over 600 tons
were erected by this traveller. An

Shaping Our Happiness

Our lives are just about what we make out OF
the material that comes to hand. If we make the
most of things, our lives will be FULL rounded out
happy and full of contentment. If we take a mar
row view of life, circumscribe our view by all
sorts of restrictive fences we are bound to lead
a narrow, unhappy commonplace existence.
You have often seen people who can derive all
sorts of happiness out of the most simple little
thing in creation. Give them little trinket a
little souvenir, little book, cup of tea or a
few cakes, and they will be happier than king
with retinue of servants and all the pleasures
money can buy. These people belong to that
happy class that idealizes everything that comes
its way. They bless everything and in return re-
ceive blessings so manifold that those of us who
cannot understand their perpetual happiness
wonder why they can be contented and full of
sunshine all the time.
We overlook the thousands of pretty and sat
isfying things in the world about us. If we
would stop to consider tree, a blade of grass, an
insect piece of machinery, what wonderful and
big thoughts would come to our mind. The whole
problem Of the universe is embodied in the

Helping the Hospital

Annually the aid society of Reid Memorial
Hospital makes an appeal to the citizens of Rich
mond to contribute for the purchase of supplies
for the institution.
Next Saturday, thousands of tags will be Of
fered for sale at many stations in Richmond.
Citizens will be asked to exchange coin for a
tag. Not the amount of money given for tag,
but the sentiment back of it, is what counts in
this appeal. If thousands contribute small
amount for the tag, it will mean that thousands
are interested in institution that does much to
alleviate human suffering and misery
Hitherto the city has responded literally to
the call of tag day. One is not expressing an idle
thought when the wish is expressed that the re-
suits of the past be exceeded when the boxes are
opened Saturday and the contents counted.
The women who are giving their time and at
tention to the movement are not actuated by
selfish or pecuniary motives. They are sacri-
ficing of their time to aid the cause, and surely
the coin that it paid for tag is small remuner-
alton for what the women are giving. There are
few men in the city who do not value their time
much higher than the amount of money they give
for tag.
Tag day will be success if every one helps,
