It Is an Important work, but the nature and Importance of it are little under #tood by persons outside of the regions in which it is carried on. While the bureau conserves fish, propagates and distributes fish and labors to educate mankind pn the subject of fish, it also rescues fish. In times of flood, when streams and rivers swell beyond thelr banks and overflow wide stretches of land, myriads of valuable food fish are carried along with the water. The flood passes, the rivers subside Into their mormnal courses and the fish are left inland to perish as the flood-water evaporates or seops into the land. Gangs of men under the guidance of the fisheries’ bureau gather the fish from these overflow lakes, which are often of great extémt, and cast them loose In the streatns or rivers. —————————— Yiddish, Yiddish is a dialect spoken by the Jews of central Europe, consisting of corrupted Hebrew with a large admis. ture of German, It has been carried by Immigrants to Great Britain and this continent, and is now of practical Iy world-wide use.

One-half of the consumers of meat live in the East. Smtr Eo ———— EC a a———— In other words, most of the live stock is one or two thousand miles distant from most of the people who need it in the form of food. Fifty years ago, when live stock wa raised close to every consuming cen- ter, the country butcher could handle the job after a fashion. : But the job got too big. Now millions of animals hava to be moved hundreds of milés to millions of people. Somewhere on the way they have to be turned into meat. The packers solved the problem. They set up plants where the “live haul” and the “meat haul” were in the right balance. They built up distributing systems—-refrigerator cars, refrigerating plants, branch houses, They saved time, money and meat, everywhere. ®he stockraiser bene- fited in better markets and higher prices; the consumer, in better meat and lower prices. - As the country grew, the packers had to grow, or break down.
