"Reindeer is commonly thought of
as a wild creature of the frozen

"Contrary to this general opinion, the
reindeer that is shipped to this coun
try is a domesticated animal raised
*«*''■ ially for food purposes.
"The meat is fine-flavored and
f r.' -grained. It has the juiciness of

of venison. The fine flavor is some
what akin to that of young venison,

"Herding these reindeer has be
come a vast industry in Alaska, and
am* le provision has been made for
proper killing, dressing and handl
ang.'' Mr. Thomson said.
"Reindeer are killed ait just the
right season and handled according
Ho latest approved scientific methods.
They are then loaded on steamers
provided with large refrigeration
plants, and are carried to Seattle."

Livestock
Situation
Observers agree that the market
ing experience in connection with
k' cattle during the past season has
indicated an unquestionable trend on
the- -art of the trade toward younger,
lighter beef animals, representing
earl îr maturity and finish feeding.
Losses on the eastern markets in
the past several months on heavy
Leef cattle have been experienced,
contrasted with good profits upon
that class during the preceding year.
'This, of course, may be accounted for
in two ways. One is the fact that
there was a much larger supply of
this class due to the large amount of
corn which was marketed through the
avedium of feeding beef cattle during
the past season. The second reason,
Ho aoubt, may be credited to a
pref rence on the part of consumers
to" beef for lighter and younger cat-,

(tie as prices on this class have main

he corn situation has had a very
«direct bearing on the severe break
which heavy cattle have suffered on
ithc eastern markets and the feature
Hhat was probably directly respon
s;fcle for throwing so much corn into
bee: feeding channels was that while
in 23 and 1924 around 55,000,000
bogs were marketed this number was
Teau ed^ to 43,000,000 in 1925 and
40.000,000 in 1926. This decline of
35,000,000 hogs, equaling 27 per cent,
may be credited to the decreased corn
production of 1924 which curtailed
bog ^ production and then when this
year's com crop was available the
porkers were not in the country so
the com was diverted to beef chan

Shall We Move the Atlantic?

world's trade and in national inter
change. We have not tried to build
P a picture of what the total volume
of this business is or what the com
bmed effect of lowering transporta
tion cost would mean.
The marooned region of the United
States-that portion of the country
W»t -£ »£ the Cascades north of

It may be set down as a fact about
which there is no controversy, that
the price which the producer, whether
ts is farmer or manufacturer, gets
for his products is the world market
price less the transportation cost to
such markets. If we can cut that
transportation cost down by any ap
preciable amount, the benefits of such
transportation cost lowering will
ation in the ratio of corn to beef
values.
Indications are that the consump
tion figures on beef will show a sub
stantial increase in 1926 over pre
ceding years as for the first ten
months of this year over 10,000,000
cattle have been handled at stock
yards. Due to the fact that so many
cattle which ordinarily move to the
country as stockers or feeders have
been finished out in the corn belt
during the past season there has
been more or less of a short supply of
feeder cattle which has caused many
Corn Belt feeders to feed sheep and
lambs during the present year in
stead of cattle. It is estimated in the
Corn Belt that a sharp decrease in
the number of cattle on feed will be
evidenced. This situation contributes
to the belief that satisfactory beef
cattle price Itvels will be maintained
during the coming year as a reflec
tion of the curtailed supply.
On the other hand, due to satisfac
tory feed conditions on the Pacific
Coast and in the Southwest a larger
number of cattle have moved to the
ranges for grass feeding and to the
feed lots than is ordinarily the case.
So far as the feed lots in the Pacific
and Southwest territory are con
cerned, of course, this increase is due
to a large extent to the tendency of
the industry to use supplementary
feeds in feeding cattle for market as
well as an increasing trend toward
feed lot finishing with the
panying and unprecedented growth in
population resulting in a greatly
stimulated consumer demand. Indi
cations are in the Pacific Southwest
that this practice will develop stead
ily.
There is no question but what the
utility of the younger beef animal
the feed lot has been demonstrated
accom
and through the evident preference on
the market for this class, no doubt,
many feeders will be attracted toward
finish feeding of this type.
The tendency toward younger ma
turity and finish feeding of beef ani
mais is of great importance, partic
ularly to the range cowman, as it
will mean a quicker turnover of his
product with accompanying decreased
carrying charges which have proved
so expensive to the industry as a
whole under the practices of the past.
On the other hand, the development
of finish feeding of livestock fits in
admirably with the program in the
West designed to encourage the
i handling of a few head of livestock
on every farm in the interest of
economical production of fertilizer as
well as the addition of a profitable
diversification.

But the farms cannot be moved to
the coast and it is far easier to move
the ocean to the interior of the North
American continent than it is to move
the factories of the interior to the

The St. Lawrence offers the solu

IDAHO FARMER HAS

Idaho baked potatoes have long

famous New Willard hotel in Wash

into the* East a remarkable exhibit of
Idaho potatoes. One of these weighs
) pounds and measures 12 inches
in length. The exhibit includes what
are known as the Idaho "rural" and
"netted gem." They were grown on
the farm of R. B. Randall of Kimber
ly, Idaho. The rurals were grown
a single hill and weighed 11 pounds,
seven ounces, anti there were 11 of
them. The netted gem hill yielded
10 potatoes that weighed seven
pounds, 13 ounces. Mr. Randall
explaining his remarkable success

were grown from seed treated with
