When we visit the great ranches of
western Texas we are no longer sur
prised, but rather wonder that the
United States holds people enough to
eat and use all the cattle we seen. It
has been found from careful examina
tion of the census bureau reports, that
to every 100 persons in the United
States there is required 80 head of
cattle, and that requirement has not
varied 1 per cent, in thirty years.
Taking this as a basis of calculation,
we find that the northern and eastern
states have less than the requisite num
ber of cattle, while Texas and other
western states have more than the
requisite number, and it is to these
states that the east looks for her beef
supply.—New West.
