A cattle feeder living at Stanton,

market with four carloads OF fat cattle
which weighed on an average 1872
pounds each and brought $50 per hun

when they weighed LILO pounds each
An interesting fact I'm connection with
this feeding experiment is that the

Statistics give evidence that one OF
the big leaks for which residents OF
agricultural communities have to stand
good results from the loss sustained In
the hauling Of produce to market over

Items OF expense, that OF hauling is

the annual tax which he pays under
the head OF hauling expense. On roads

load for the average team. Where
roads are in first class shape, hard and
smooth, and vehicles OF sufficient ca
pacity this load could be increased

no increase In cost OF moving. This
matter is one in which every grower
OF stock or produce is vitality interested
and consequently one that should re-
ceiye his careful attention.

Western live stock growers have
started q serious agitation In favor OF
method OF selling cattle subject to
postmortem examination for tuberculo-
sis. AS things are now the packers
have to sell their products on an In
spection basis. while they buy cattle on
the hoof on a no inspection basis. Nat
urally. In order to make themselves
good on losses which they sustain as
result OF federal inspection, they put
the price on live cattle low enough so
as to give safe margin. From this 1t
can be plainly seen that the stockman
whose cattle are entirely free from
faint OF tuberculosis has to stand the
loss to the packer which is sustained IN
the purchase OF some other shippers
Infected cattle. II the postmortem ex-
animation rule were adopted, the loss
from diseased cattle would fall, as 1t
ought to. on the fellow who shipped
them to market.

ROOSEVELT TO BECOME ASSOCIATE
EDITOR OF OUTLOOK AFTER MARCH 4

New York, Oct 2O-Presiden
Roosevelt has made contract with
The Outlook company by which he
will become associate editor of The
Outlook after his retirement from ths
presidency.
While the president was at Oyster
Bay last summer he was visited by
representatives of many publishing
houses in this and other cities. and it
was announced he had made a con-
tract with Charles Scribners Sons for
story of his big game hunt. 1t was
said authoritatively on behalf of the
Scribner firm last night that its con-
tract with Roosevelt neither had been
modified nor abrogated. From this it
is apparent that the new contract with
the Outlook company calls for an en-
tirely different line of work from that
President Roosevelt agreed to under
take for the Scribners.
Range of His Scribner Contract.
1t has been the general understand.
ing ever since the existence OF the
Scribner contract was announced that
Mr.. Roosevelt was to give that firm
all his writings on the subjects OF
hunting and natural history, as well

as on his travel observations. 1t is
possible. howeyen-that the range of
his work for the Scribners is more
limited than has been supposed and
that he has left for the Outlook field
of considerable proportions.
The Outlook has taken a deep in
terest in the Congo Free State and
the many and well substantiated
stories from there of extraordinary
cruelties practiced upon natives en-
gagged in the rubber trade. Ii was
suggested last night that Mr.. Roose-
velt might be intending to make per-
sonal investigation of Congo condi,
tions and report the results for the
Outlook.
