"She might"
"And do you mean further that 1

Then all 1 have to say to you is

once made long voyage. She had
very decided opinion on most matters,
and she and the captain had many
spirited arguments at the dinner table.
The captains wife. meek, submis-

heat or argument her husband might
say anything to offend his august
passenger, was in the habit of kick
Ing him in the shins to hint at modera-
ton. Nevertheless. all these remind
ers passed unheeded.
One day she administered a more
vigorous kick than usual. and noticed
an expression of pain fit across the
face of the mate, who sat opposite
her.

Breeders, feeders, or investigators
who consider only the cost of produc-
ton and the market value OF the live
animal. ignoring the demands OF the
meat trade, overlook one OF the most
important factors. that affect the live
stock market and may thus fail to fol-
low the most rational lines OF i'm
provement In breeding and feeding.
With an understanding of meat-trade
requirements 1t is possible for stock
man to judge the carcass yield and
quality OF his animals intelligently
as buyers at the stock yards. because
his knowledge of the feeds used,
length Of feeding period. and gains
made are as essential In making such
estimates as the apparent form. con-

The descriptions presented are
based on data secured in an investiga-
ton at wholesale meat markets at the
Union stock yards. Chicago. and also
ut prominent Wholesale and retail
markets in Chicago and other cities
which are supplied from the large
houses at the Union stock yards. and
may be considered standard for all
the great packing centers of this
country; and since most American
wholesale markets are supplied from
these centers. the classification may
be regarded as standard for the coun-
try. II should be borne in mind that
the classifications are those of the
wholesale meat trade and not OF the
live stock market. and that the
weights given refer to dressed car
