Two-thirds of the supply of good
table beef comes from cattle raised
on comparatively small tracts of
land, in the states of the Mississip
pi valley. These cattle are raised
on grass and fod d er-n ot txclu-
sively on grasses or wholly on ccrn.
The high price of beef and the
grazing scarcity of the best kinds
is a subject which cattle-raisers
have much to do, and it is still a
problem witli them how to meet
the great anil growing demand for
table haef, even at high prices.
The success of ranch beef (which
constitutes table beef) depends on
abundant crops of corn aud other
grain. The last thiee corn crops
in the Mississippi valley have been
less than the average.
Food for
cattle has been scarce. This state
ment, considering the extent of our
country and a gr?at number of new
workers, may 6eera a 6trange one,
but it is true nevertheless.
As a
result, a smaller number of cattle
have been raised for beef, while at
the same time the Colorado and
Wyoming ranches have been over
stocked, rendering the cattle unfit
for market. It requires two or
three years of good corn crops to
make good beef.

In Tennessee the last session of

Three
Mormon
elders arrived at Elizabethon, in
Carter county, and began at o lc g
proselyting among the natives and
preaching their doctrines. They
were arrested under the provisions

at once telegraphed for Elder Mor
