There are heavy holdings of cattle in India and other parts of the Orient, but the beef production from these countries Is very light owing to and vegetnrian religious scruples habits. ' The World war seems greatly to habits have affected the meat-eatin- g of the West. Apparently France learned meat eating from her allies. r Her imports of beef were only pounds, while she exmillion pounds. Now ported sixty-twthe exports have been cut almost .o one-halthe former figure, while the Imports have increased more than six fold. They are now 7V4 per cent of all international exports. Germany has doubled her Imports, arid now takes 13 per cent of world shipments; her exports hnth before and since the war are negligible, As with bread, so with beef Grent Britain Is the grea.test importer. She Imports now more than one and three-quartebillion pounds per yeifr, against one and a quarter billion In. pre-wa- r days. Changes in the sources of beef have not been great; rather, the prewar tendencies have been followed out. Russia was never an Important factor in Europe's beef supply, and her withdrawal from European affairs had little effect on the meat trade. The Worlds Meat Counter. Argentina Is the worlds chief beef purveyor. Before the war her contribution was 4G per cent of the total international exports; now It has grown to fj() per cent. Uruguay is a poor second with 11 per cent; double r Australia, her; proportion. which furnished 14 per cent of beef shipments before 1914, sends out only 9 per cent now. The United States, too. has dropped from a 10 per cent contribution in the years prior to the war, to 5 per cent today. The only- other country with exports which equal 6 per cent of world exports Is. strangely the Netherlands, with more than 7 per cent. This country has only two million cattle. The explanations lies in the heavy imports of beef, most of which are Because population of the East lives largely on rice, It would be. natural to assume that more rice Is grown than wheat But the fact that the people of the West are on the whole much better fed. apparently turns the scale in favor of wheat. The average estimated world, rice crop for five years- preceding the World war was two and a half billion bushels, whole, the corresponding wheat crop was approximately one billion bushels greater. The average annual crops for the year 1921 to 1923 were nearly three billion bushel for rice, and nearly four billion bushels for wheat Less Rice Exported Than Wheat. A much smaller percentage of the rice crop enters international trade r than that of the wheat crop, in days 8 per cent of the worlds rice production was exported, as (.agnlnst 23 per eent of the total wheat. The percentages now ape practically the same. Fork plays second fiddle to beef, ns rice does to wheat among the meats and grains consumed by man. There are far fewer hogs In the world tiinn cattle about two hundred 3fty million as against more than six hundred million. The United States leads all other countries in the number of Its hogs between fifty and' sixty millions. The nearest competitors are Germany with sixteen million and Russia with fourteen million. The United States Is also first in pork, exports, sending out nearly one arid a quarter billion pounds, more than half the total international shipments.

They went far up Slippery Hill and into the deep woods beyond. Slippery Hill had been so named because it was quite a steep, high hill and in the summer time the pine needles were so thick that it was all one could do to keep from sliding down it even wlteu one didn't intend to slide down It. In the winter time it. was covered with snow and it was a splendid place for coasting. In the winter It ..looked so very differently from the summer lime. In the summer there were little ciives und rocky places to be found along tlie way, and these wetv filled with lovely little pieces of moss and a few very bright little wood flowers. In the winter these caves were filled with icicles and patches, ot snow. , Beyond Slippery Hill were deep, thick woods. And it was there that Worthy and Mint went for Uteir tree.

In the tide reservoir system as contemplated in the bay of Fundy and elsewhere, the gates are shut after the water has flowed in, and power Is gained by letting the water flow out, operating turbine wheels meanwhile, as the tide recedes. Part of the power thus gained may be used to pump some of the basin water into higher reservoirs, to be used to operate other turbines as it flows back again. 0 y Up Slippery Hill. tlrere first too, and so did the violets not only the purple ones, hut- I he . yellow ones.
