T
SOMETHITiU AIJOUT BEEF.
Tk Supply Wnlngr B-ero no Increment
Jnmrn S. Brisbm writes an interest
ing letter from Fort Keogh, Montana
Territory, to the New York Herald,
from which we tnke the following:
"The beef famine prevailng in some
parts of the East has exeited great in
teret in the West. Beef rattle of all
kinds have gone np $5 to $6 per head,
although the stock raisers say they see
no good mason for such a rise. The
beef famine is merely a panio, and will
soon be over, bnt it is a warning of
what really may oconrif we do not take
paiDS to raise more beef. Three years
ae;o the writer tried by a series of arti
cles in Wilke's Spirit, to awaken some
interest in the beef production, and
later wrote and published a book by t he
Lippincntfs on the snbjoot. The
panio of 3882 was predicted and also a
beef famine in 1885, unless more cattle
were raised. It is now too late to
avoid the panic, for it is upon us, but'
we may still save ourselves from a real
famine by aotive measures in the pro
duction of beef. It is my opinion that
we have been in a beef famine for the
last ten years, though we did not know
it. A four-year-old steer can be raised
on the plains for $7, and the meat of
the animal ought not to command in
any part of the United States over ten
cents per pound dressed. That a cat
tle raiser should make twenty, thirty,
forty, and even fifty per cent, per an
num profit on the money he his in
vested in cattle is outrageous, but ho
will yet make still more than that if
more people do not go into stock rais
ing as a business.
STATISTICS OP CATTLE.
"A careful examination of the statis
tics of cattle production in the United
States will snow that the increase of
cattle has not kept apace with the in
crease of p jpulation, and the only won
der is that beef is as cheap as it is. In
1840 the average number of cattle in
America to every 100 persons was less
than 100 head, and in 1850 only about
75 head to 100 persons. In I860 the
States and Territories had the following
ratio: Alabama, 81 head; Arkansas,
126; California, 887; Connecticut, 48;
Delaware. 61; Florida, 274; Georgia,
95; Illinois, 87; Indiana, 87; Iowa, 79;
Maine, 59; Maryland, 37; Massachusetts,
22; Michigan, 71; Minnesota, 68; Miss
issippi, 91; Missouri, 98; New Hamp
shire, 81; New Jersey, 84; New York,
50; North Carolina, 69; Ohio. 70; Ore
gon, 292; Pennsylvania, 48: Rhode
Island, 22; South Carolina, 72; Tenn
essee, 68; Texas, 579; Vermont, 115;
Virginia, 65; Wisconsin, 66; District of
Columbia, 1; Dakota, 30; Nebraska,
100; New Mexico, 108; Utah, 100;
Washington Territory, 259. Since 1860
four States and Territories have in
creased their stock, and five have stood
still, and thirty have decreased, while
the population has steadily increased.
"A good many cattle companies have
been formed of late years, and, so far
as I know, all are doing well. We have
several hers in Montana, and they are
able to declare an annual dividend of
twenty-five per cent., besides reserving
a handsome surplus for increasing the
herds. It is a remarkable fact that
there is more English capital at present
invested in cattle growing in the Uni
ted States thafl American money. This
year the Englishmen are reaping a rich
reward for their enterprise, and are
selling American beef at six cents per
pound, live weight, which cost them
less than two cents to raise. There is
really no immediate oocasion for alarm
about a cattle famine, as cattle are not
yet so scarce as to create any great
streps in the meat market. But the
speculators have got held of the fact that
there hre too few cattle in America for
t he population, and they are using it to
fill their pockets. We must have more
cattle, more cattle raisers and more cap
ital with which to raise cattle.
A LUCRATIVE BUSINESS.
"For the liext ten years I bolieve cat
tle raising will be one of the moat lu
crative callings in the United States.
and those who have the good fortune to
De awe to engage in it will rapidly
grow rich. The best way is to associate
capital in largo numbers. It costs no
more to take care . of three thousand
steers than it does one thousand, and
profits aro more than three times as
large. Ir. starting it is simclv aaues
tion of money to buy cows and bulls for
stock purposes. In J840 there were
4,BJf,UUU milch cows in the United
States; in 1850 there were 6,385,093;
in iBtu 7,7147,763; in 1870 11.000.000.
and in 1870 15,000,000 and in 1880
J.D,uuu,iKJO, Ihere cannot now be less
than 15.000.000 cows in America, ami
these, if prtperly bandied, will soon
stock the country with sufficient beef
to bring the price within the reach of
the poorest man and his family. The
nrsi siep is 10 stop killing female
calves. Every female calf should be
caved. The Western stock men 'have
begun this, and already it is almost im
possible for butchers to purchase
calves for veal. In the West it is not
so difficult to raise cattle for beef as in
the East The cattle run out all the
winter long, and no shelter or food is
required for them except that which
nature provides. Every year the stock
men start the story East for the benefit
of the "tenderfeet" that the stock busi
ness is overdone, and the good ranges
all taken. This is done to prevent new
men from going into the business. The
stock men know they have a good
thing, and wish I to Jkeep it as long an
possible. They would like to see beef
$1 per pound, and would ask 8100 for a
steer worth 810, without the slightest
compunctions of conscience, if they
thought they could get it. If I
had two or three thousand head of cat
tle I doubt if I would write this letter,
bnt, unfortunately, not having any herd
of my own, I am only interested in get
ting beef as cheaply as possible from
those who have herds. I hope soon to
see more people and more capital en
gaged in cattle raising, and beef brouhgt
to some reasonable price by reason of
its abundance, and I have no hesitation
in saying that associated capital en
gaged in beef raising out West will pay
an annual dividend of 24 per cent., if it
is at all properly managed.

ee Town.
A correspondent writing from Iliogo,
Japan, to the Detroit Free Press, says :
Kobe ranks next to Yokohama among
the treaty ports as regards business and
foreign population, but as a place of
residence it has many advantages over
the latter place. The principal business
is the preparing of tea, and the large
houses are all near the "bund," as the
water front is called. In front of the
European settlement or concession
long grass plat runs along the seawall,
and fronting on this plat, their upper
windows affording a fine view of the sea,
ore the consulates and hotels as well as
numerous private residences. Connect
ed with Kobe is the Japanese City Ilio
go, one of the most important place in
Japan, and one with many temples.
Kobe is noted throughout Japan for the
fine carving and engraving that aro
done here in ivory, wood and tortoise
shell. One of the places of most inter
est to foreigners is the KoboClnb. The
club-honse is large and situated in the
outer edge of the town, close to the fea.
The grounds are beautifully deoorated
with evergreens and flowers, and the
house itself, consisting of reading room,
billiard rooms, bowling alley, whist
room and library, is cool an J roomy.
The library consists of about 600 well
assorted books, and in the reading room
all the prominent magazines of Europe
and Amerioa are to be found. .Opposite
the club-house is Recreation Park,
placed at the disposal of the foreigners
by the government as a cricket ground.
Fronting on tho park is the gymnas
ium, also fitted as a baHroom and
theatre. There is not much in Kobe
itself to interest a stranger, outside the
"curio" stores where one may prioe
$2,509 Satsnma vases, rare tea sets, old
armor, etc.; bnt the hills around the
town contain many spots of interest.
On one of the higher hills, some
4,000 or 5,000 feet above the sea level,
is the Temple of the Moon, one of the
many Buddhist temples to be found in
Japan. Having a great desire to see
this temple I started early on a Sunday
morning. Calling a "jiri-rikisha," I
told the man where to go, and left tho
direction to his knowledge of the town.
After a ride of about five minutes the
rikisha man suddenly stopped in front
of a "toa house," as the taverns in Japan
are called, and said that ho could take
me no farther. At the very start I had
my choice of two roads. Trusting
blindly in tho guide's judgment, I fol
lowed the road pointed out by him,
which passed up the valley between two
hills. The path was broad and fair for
a long distance, when it became very
rocky and narrowed down in one dace
to a width of twenty feet between the
sides of the hills, while the branches of
the trees met and interlaced overhead,
forming a natural tunnel, damp from
tue moisture on the moss-covered rocks,
but ocol and refreshing to the weary
walker. From this point the path be
came very rough, and it was soon evi
dent that it did not lead to the temple.
Retracing my steps, I soon had tho
satisfaction of seeing people passim?
back and forth on the brow of one of
the hills. As a short cut, I determined
to climb the hill, a resolution I regretted
very shortly. The first part of the as
cent was easy, out the last two hundred
feet was quite perpendicular, dangerous
and wearisome in the extreme. Arrived
at the top, I saw the longed-for road a
few feet below mo. Having rested. I
started joyfully out on a Rood broad
path which wound and twifcted around
the hill, ever ascending. But my joy
soon gave way to weaiiness when on
reaching the top of the hill the temple
appeared on the brow of the next one.
Sitting down to rest on the brow of the
hill, the cool sea breeze sweeping up
tho hillside and the lovely view soon
restored my strength and good-nature.
Looking down the valley one could see
the level country studded with villages,
green rice fields and small ponds for
irrigating purposes lying calm and
beauteous in the. noonday sun, while
the shores of the "Inland Sea" curved
far away in the distance. Sails dotted
the sea everywhere, and the ships at
anchor looked no larger than rowboats.
The white line of dust marking the
route of the Kioto railway wound ser-pont-like
among the green fields, while
the smoke from the numerous paper
mills in Hiogo ascended lazily. Japan
ese, clad in gala dress, were passing
back and forth, and rilence, broken
only by the voice of a man at occasional
intervals, rested on the whole scene.
Resuming my way, I passed down tho
hill into the valley, and commenced the
ascent of the next hill. The path was
well shaded with cedars, and at every
turn one came across beggars sitting
smoking by tho bide of a small firo of
turgs. The ascent was steep, indeed.
and nothing save tho merry laughter of
a Jap. family whom I had joined, and a
i trong determination not to allow a girl
do morethan I could, kept me a-Koinsr.
After climbing for some time the path
ended at a series of flights c f stone steps,
some forty odd steps m each flight. At
the head of each one were tea houses,
and at the head of the whole series was
the temple.
In the temple were numerous idols,
and in front of each offerings for the
departed. In the main temple was a
large box, in frcnt of which hung cords
to a large bell overhead. The worship
per drops a piece of money in the box,
rings the bell to call Buddha's atten
tion and then repeats his prayers. Hav
ing finished he advances to the old
priest at the entrance to the inner temple
ana Hands mm another piece of money.
The priest then lights a "Josh candle,"
peats a Dig gong ana repeats more
prayers.
Un the invitation of the priest I re
moved my shoes and advanced into the
inner temple. The floor was covered
with heavy matting. In the oenter of
the room was a large cabinet heavily
lacquered in gold and bronze. Inside
this cabinet was a large statue of Bud
dha, carved from some dark wood and
wearing a golden crown. In front of
the cabinet Lung a heavily lacquered
cnandeiier, ana on each side were
smaller gods with their offerings of
rice, candy, eta, in iront or them. On
E resenting the priest with some money
e opened the doors of the cabinet and
left me to worship in peace, which
did by closely examining everything I
could see. On each side of the main
temple were smaller onos with other
gods and their offerings. Taken alto
gether the trip was worth the walk.
The day after visiting the Temple of
the Moon, while at a smaller temple in
Hiogo I was unfortunate ouoneh to wit
ness a Japanese cremation, and for some
days thereafter my dreams were any
thing bnt pleasant. The place of cre
mation was in an old hut direotly in
rear Of the temple. The body, which
had been forced into a tub which re
sembled nothing more than a "Sake
tub," was brought in, liid on a frame
work and then covered with straw and
fiigots. The executioner, for so we had
named him, then lit the straw, and sit
ting down commenced smoking his
pipi. As the body became heated it
began to expand, and finally tho tub
burst A horrible sight was tho result.
The corpse it was that of nn adult
male had been forced into such a small
space that it was doubled up in a knot,
becan to straighten out. First an arm
raised itself, then both legs, then the
other arm until, as though still endow
ed with life, the whole body turned
completely over on the frame, while the
flesh burned and a horrible stench filled
the whole place. Sick, disgnsted and
yet fascinated we gazed on the scene,
while the operator, leaving his pipe,
took a long stick and rolled the body
back and -forth so that it might burn
more evenly. The firing was kept up
till the .body was entirely consumed.
As the last bone dropped in tho ashes
now the fact of which you speak and
we drew a long breath of relief and
turned to go. The man Feeing that I
held in my hand a oigar whih I had
been smoking kindly offered me a burn
ing stick from the fire to light it with.
Giving him one look of disgust I turned
and fled. . It was a horrible ceremony,
but a successful one, for tho ground is
incumbered now with the many graves,
and some means must be taken to got
rid of the dead.
How Trees Influence Rainfall niul
Climates.
In a general way there begins to be
spreading a popular belief that forests
increase the rainfall of the country. As
to how this is done, however, no very
definite idea prevails. Scientific men
have been recently making some very
interesting experiments in this field.
The results show strongly that forests
do exercise a decided favorable influ
ence on climato and the water supply.
It is not conclusively established that
they directly cause heavy rains. They
do, however, according to the best light
at the present to be had, increase the
frequency of light showers, and thus
are of incalculable benefit to vegetation.
In other ways the beneficent effect of
trees on climate, crops and fruits is
sufficiently well established. Dr. J. M.
Anders gives in the American Natural
ist a good summing up of the latest ro
search on this subject. Not the least of
the benefits he m ntions is the good
service belts of woodland do in protect
ing vegetation from storms and icy
winds. It is very common now for en
lightened farmers in the West and
Northwest to plant dense rows of treos
and hedges of evergreen along the
northern line of their orchards and
grounds. Dr. Anders says: ,
"The experiment has been tried ex
tensively in France of planting trees in
belts one hundred meters apart, and
with marked benefit to the climate, and
there are some good reasons for believ
ing that a similar experiment in various
places in our own country would prove
equally advantageous. It has been ob
served many times that fruit grown in
the city surpasses in quality and size
that grown in the oountry, and this is
ascribable to the more effectual shelter
in the former place."
Forests inflnence tho atmosphere
more powerfully by their effect on its
general humidity than in any other way.
n evaporation of moisture from both
earth and trees takes place constantly.
The evaporation is greater from open
sou than from woodland, but the differ
ence is far more than made up by what
is called "transpiration" of leaves of the
trees. This corresponds in a degree to
the insensible perspiration of animals.
some conclusive experiments were
made with growing pot plants, going to
show that leaves do not absorb mois
ture, but that on the contrary, they
give it out. Moisture is absorbed
through the roots.
The quantity of insensible vapor that
is given off through leaves amount to
one and a quarter ounce to the square
loot oi leal surface. The world-old
metaphor of connting the leaves of the
trees has a new significance in the light
of science. Painstaking experiment has
onabled those studying the matter to
make an approximate estimate of the
comparative amounts of vapor given off
by earth surface and leaf surface. They
have calculated that a square foot of
soil sets free about six times as much
moisture as a square foot of loaf. The
leaf surface is, however, many times
greater than the soil surface twelve
times greater, the scientists put it so
that twice as much evaporation takes
place from forest as from open land.
Whm the wood of the Country is cut
away, therefore other things bejDg
equal, two-thirds of the moisture giving
material of the atmosphere is gone with
it. Hence the long and fearful drought
on lands tare of trees. Tho Naturalist
writer says:
"From the data obtained it would
seem safe to infer that when the per
centage of woodland is fair (25 to 80
per cent.) at least twelve inches of water
is transpired in the course of a season
iu mild or temperate climates; or, in
other words, twelve inches of the total
annual terrestrial evaporation. All this
vast amount of water is transpired in
about six months, or during the vegeta
tive period. Under these circumstances
an equivalent of nearly half the rain
fall during the warm season may be ac
counted for by the transpiration."
Another noteworthy fact too is that
even during long continued droughts,
when brooks and ponds have dried up.
this life-bringing exhalation from tho
trees continues constant. Our writer
continues :
"Moist air during winter tends to
moderate extreme cold; during the sum
mor, on the contrary, it tends to cool
the draughts; hence forests by moisten

To Forttell the Weather.
If the sun sets in crimson clouds and

Dews and white morning fogs are
symptoms of clearways.
A dark and vapory sun, and a sickly
looking moon with blunt Lorns, and a
cirole around her, or pallid, big and
non scintillating stars, are all signs of
approaching tains.
