"Well?" inquired the skipper,
stamping with impatience.
"I pinched 'lin back agin," said Tim,
smiling tenderly at the reminiscence.

a move towards the galley, "'E didn't

Meat Production and the .Demand.
That meat production has not kept
pace with the increase in population
and that its failure to do so, combined
with increased cost of production and
diminished purchasing power of the
money unit, has contributed to his ler
prices not only in the United Sre.tes,
but all over the world, is stated in
Part 1 of the exhaustive report on the
meat situation in the preparation of
which specialists of the U. S. Dated- `
merit of Agriculture have been en„eag-
ed for some time. This cu°tere t V -b ib
is said, is participating in a world-
wide movement, and it is not expected
that the situation will undergo any
radical change in the immediate fu-
ture. On the other hand, it is be-
lieved thab there will be a gradual
growth and expansion in the world's
production of beef, mutton, and potk,
which may or may not equal the rate
of increase of the meat -eating popu-
lation.
In America this gradual expansion
appears to have begun already. Be-
tween 1907 and 1913 there was a
marked decline in the number of cattle
in bhe country, but in the last two
years this has not only stopped, bat
has given way to a perceptible in-
crease. The estimated number on
farms and ranges on January 1, 1916,
61,441,000, is; however, still mach be-
low the corresponding figure ferel1907;-'+�,.
72,534,000. With the excoptid'n of
temporary checks due to losses from
a
hog cholera, there has been �,ti re-
cent years a persistent increase sic the
production of swine. On January 1,
1916, the number in the country was
estimated at 68,000,000 as compared
with 58,200,000 in April, 1910. On
the other hand, the number 'of sheep
declined during this period from 52,-
¢00,000 in 1910 to 49,200,000 in 1916.
As the decrease, however, is not suf-
ficient to offset the increase in cattle
and swine, ib may be said that, the
total production of meat in the United
States is increasing, bat that the in-
crease 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 1,100,000 to 1,475,000 cattle
' have died each year from disease, and
from 600,000 to 1,500,000 from ex-
posure. With sheep, the losses from
disease have been about the same, but
from exposure much larger.
With swine the relative prevalent*
of hog cholera is perhaps the deter-
mining factor in the annual loss. In
1894 this was as low as 2,200,000, bur-
in
ur-
in 1914 it amounted to '7,000,000. If
these 7,000,000 hogs had been saved,
it is said, they - would have prodt'd
enough meat to furnish every family
in the United States. with 40 pounds
of pork.
Despite these facts, the UriTted
States remains the greatest neat eat-
ing, as well as the greatest meat pro-
dacing nation in the world. Approxi-
mately twice as much meat is con-
sumed 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 any-
where else, with the exception of Aus-
tralia and New Zealand.
Our own exports now consist large-
ly of pork and pork pi•oducts, and
these are derived to a great extent
from corn. In the fiscal years 1914
and 1915 we imported more f.,.
chilled, and frozen beef and mutton
than we exported, and more beef of
all descriptions was imported in 1914,
than •was exported. In this limited
respect we have joined\•theg reat ma-
jority. Practically the whole of the
world's export trade in meat is main-
tained by nine countries-Argei.tina,

until the cook aroused him a few hours
later with the information that break-
fast was ready.
A wash and a change, together with
a good breakfast, effected as much
change in his spirits as in his appear-
ance. Refreshed in mind and body,
he slowly paced the deck, his chest ex-
panding as he sniffed the fresh air,
and his soul, encouraged by bhe dang-
ers he had already passed through,
bracing itself for fresh encounters.
"I 'ope the foot is goin' on well,
sir," said Tim, breaking in upon his
meditations, respectfully.
"Much easier this morning," said the
skipper, amiably.

HOW SHE FOUGHT FOR SERBIA.
Englishwoman Describes Her Life as
Sergeant.
Miss Flora Sancles, an English-
woman who served as a Serbian eo1-
dier, gives her experiences in a book,
which has just been published in Lon-
don.
She worked as a voluntary nurse
in Serbia for eighteen months before
the Bulgarian invasion, and was with .
one regiment when it retreated into
Albania before the overwhelming en-
emy forces. She ultimately reached
Durazzo and Corfu. Finding her oc-
cupation gone, she enrolled as a pri-
vate soldier, and within a short time
was promoted to be corporal, and
later to the grade of sergeant. While
she was with the retreating Serbians
they were fighting a rearguard ac-
tion practically for six• weeks.
' She ends the volume with the an-
nouncement that she is "eagerly
looking forward to the time when we
can get another whack at the enemy
and march victoriously back to Ser-
bia. With any luck, I hope some
day to be able to describe how we
accomplished it, and the triumphant
entry into Nish, which we were al-
ways talking about."
