The high price of meat which is sure to result froni last summer drouth and consequent slaughter of breeUaug stock can be met most effectively by increased attention to raising sheep as well as cattle and hogs. Hogs have the supreme advantage in such a crisis that they can be bred and marketed in the same year; but man cannot live by pork alone.
