still much below the corresponding ig-
ures for 1902. 53i00 With the ex-
ception OF temporary checks due to
losses from hog cholera there has been
In recent years persistent increase IN
the production of swine. On Jan. |.
1916, the number in the country wa
estimated at GS,000,000 as compared
with 5S.200,000 in April, 1910. ON the
other hand. the number of sheep de.
clined during this period from 52.5OO.-
900 in 1910 TO 100000 In 1916. As
the decrease. however, is not sufficient
to offset the increase In cattle and
swine, 1t may be said that the total
production of meat in the United
States is increasing, but that this in
crease Is not yet proportionate to the
growth In population.
The available supply of meat would
be much greater If II were not for the
enormous losses caused by disease and
exposure. Since 1900 II is estimated
that from 100000 to $4,000 cattle
have died each year from disease and
from 100000 to 100000 from ex,
posture, 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 deter
mining factor In the annual loss. In
1894 this was as low as 100000, but
in 1914 il amounted TO 100000. II
these 100000 hogs had been saved,
II is said, they would have produced
enough meat TO furnish every family In
the United States with forty pounds Of
pork.

which are then absorbed into the

of ailments.
People who feel good one day and

.HE lily is the Easter flower be-

THE lily is the Easter flower be-
cause it is the glorious bloom
of Christ's country. 1t is abun-
dant on the hills of Nazareth,
and in the later winter the regions
over which he walked glOwed and
radiated with enhancing color, while
the air was fragrant with perfume.
The Hebrew word for the flower is
shushan, shoshan or shoshannah, and
though there is little doubt the word
denotes some plant of the lily species,
it is by no means certain what class
it specially designates. In the Holy
Land there are lilies that hold the
purpling blue of eastern skies; that
glow with the blood-red fire of the
deserts dusty sunset; that have the
pure white of spiritual appeal and the
grace in curve and line that touch
the senses like a strain of exquisite
music.
AS we of the West know the lily,
the more cultivated species are the
white or Madonna lily, the tiger or
tiger-spotted lily, and the golden lily.
A white lily in art and heraldry SYM
bolizes purity, and in the pictures of
the Annunciation is often placed in

1t is very probable that the term lily
as used in the Holy Land was general,
not referring to any particular spe-
cies, but to a large class of flowers
growing in Palestine, and resembling
the lily, as the tulip, iris, gladiolus
and the like. Thompson, for instance,
in his Land of the Book" describes
a magnificent iris, which he calls the
Hulch lily, view of which gives sa-
lient point to the passage: Solomon
