fnttie Mrrtri. Mero size in cattle is becoming as objectionable today as mere size in hogs already is. The heavy-weight hog was formerly the high-priced hog, and tho larger the size tho higher the price per pound. But in theso days tho buyer of pork is after meat, not lard, and so tho meaty rather than the lardy hog is what the market wants. The 6amo con condition - dition condition exists regarding cattle. Kerosene went into tho tallow business; tallow is not tho vauable article it was in tho days of the caudlo. There is also a more fas fastidious - tidious fastidious taste abroad in the laud regarding beef. Certain parts of tho carcass are relatively more highly prized than formerly and therefore command higher prices; and it is also found that the young quick-maturing animal yields up tho sweetest, juiciest cuts. The result of taste and discovery has been to increase the price of the well-modo animal. Size of itself is not objectionable, but size alone is not enough to command the highest price. Quality, not quan quantity, - tity, quantity, is the pathway that cattle must travel to reach the goal of maximum price. Form, develop development, - ment, development, early maturity are now tho prize takers in all markets. Tho fact cannot longer bo dis disguised - guised disguised that the cattlo interests of Arizona are in a very deplorable conditon. The summer rains have been confined to narrow limits and tho broad ranges have derived but little benefit There are a few favored localities where feed is abundant, but in general tho condition is very bad. The stock stockmen - men stockmen those who Burvive the pres present - ent present drouth will profit by this severe lesson, and will not only supplement tho uncertain ranges by fields of alfalfa, but will dis discover - cover discover that it requires as much to feed a scrub animal as it does one worth double its price. A better grade of cattle will bo placed upou the ranges, and while their num number - ber number will be less, the calamity of overstocking will be avoided. As an industry it will bring far more satisfactory returns and placo it upon a footing wherein the ele element - ment element of uncertainty will bo entire entirely - ly entirely eliminated. At the preliminary hearing of John C.

What Itoromes of the Cold. .Yfir Orffitn rtrnfunf. The tendency to hide away gold is remarkable Except what is seen by the public in tho form of jewelry, in gilding and ornaments on sign3 and buildings, in plating on various objects of use or art all tho gold is out of Bight, it las wholly disappeared. What be becomes - comes becomes of all tho balance of the gold is a question which. 8 of tener abked than answered. A vast amount of gold has been taken out of tho earth within the century now nearly at its close and it will be interesting to attempt to trace it. Tho United States did not count much as a producer of gold until after the discovery of the mines in California. Since then anduptothe'ooginning of the year 1802, we find tho total production of gold in the union to be 1,900, 1,900,-000,000. - 000,000. 1,900,-000,000. These figures are taken from tho report of tho Superin Superintendent - tendent Superintendent of the Mint for 1891, and are authoritative. Now, whore is the gold? The mint report for 1891 shows that tho total amount of gold, in coin ithd bars, in tho United States on the last day of December, 1S91, was $GS8,GG5,211. This was what was known to remain iu tho count country, - ry, country, in tho vaults of the mint and treasury, and in possession of tho banked Besides' this amount $37, $37,-000,000 - 000,000 $37,-000,000 was known to have been exported to foreign countries, aud $3,500,000 to have been worked up by goldsmiths for plate and jewelry, and by goldbeaters for dentists' foil and gilders' leaf. Therefore, out of $1,900,000,000 of gold produced in the United States up to the end of 1891, it was held that only about $089,000,000 re remained - mained remained in the country iu the form of coin and bullion, while tho enor enormous - mous enormous Bum of $1,211,000,000 had

A Writer in speaking of the mer merits - its merits of the shorthorn says that they have improved the herds of cattlo of America more than all other improved cattle that were ever brought hero. They have raised tho average weight of thousands of our beef cattlo from 200 to 500 pounds per head, aud reduced the selling age a whole year, besides greatly increasing the Belling price. In many countries of Europe beef is so scarce that it is beyond the reach of people of moderate meana. Tho only chance for these countries to secure good meat at moderate cost is to buy from Amer ica. Under the circuniBtancas it seems hardly possible that our ex export - port export trade shall not increase large largely - ly largely aud more rapidly. Mr. J. E. Saint haa returned from hia ranch, after turning over to J. B. Manby, of Trinidad, as representative of the lone Cattle company, of Wyoming, 743 head of steers. Mr. Saint expects to deliver 400 more for the same company. Good meats are advancing in price in retail markets throughout the country. This would indicate a scarcity in the supply, aud should soon have the effect of stimulating values in the whole wholesale - sale wholesale markets. Splendid rains are reported from all BtH'tiontf of the lower Pecos vulloy during tho past ton days.

They show exports from 1S13 to the end of 1891, in excess of imports', of $170,000,000. This amount deducted from the remain- dor of $1,211,000,000, would leave a balance of $741,000,000. Hero, then, ia the enormous amount of $741,000,000, in gold, which cannot be accounted for. How much of it is hidden away in odd corners, iu the old stockings of frugal housewives, in tho hoards of misers? The people must have a large amount of gold coin bo se secreted. - creted. secreted.
