Following is a summary of the re-
suits obtained by a Tennessee feeder
last winter with a bunch of ninety
half-bred, or better, Angus and Short
horn steers, under average conditions.
These steers vere picked up through
the country during September and Oc-
tober, 1913, and weighed, October list,
a total of S1,77O pounds, and cost
$40 per hundred, or $5638 per head.
They were run on good bluegrass pas
ture until December 4th, and were then
put on ration of shocked sorghum
and about two pounds of cottonseed
meal per head day. BY January 14th
the supply of sorghum was exhausted
and silage was substituted, with an
increase in the amount of cottonseed
meal to about three pounds per head
a day. During the fall and winter the
steers had access to seventy acres of
cornstalks and wheat ctraw stock,
and were allowed to run on pasture
of crimson clover and rye part of the
time. On May 18th the silage\was dis
continued, and they were then kept on
the rye and crimson clover, and -oc-
casionally in bluegrass pasture, until
May LIST, after which time they were
kept on bluegrass until July 4th. After
July 4th they were kept on red clover
pasture until sold, July 18th. During
the latter part of the silage-feeding
period they were fed about 315 bush
els of ear corn, also ten tons of oat
straw, and about four tons of rough
hay. On July 18th they weighed ILL.,
030 pounds, an average of 1888 pounds,
or gain of S24A pounds per steer
They were shipped to Louisville, July
Gath, and, after three days on the
road, weighed 108, ITO pounds, or loss
of 80 pounds per steer. Eighty-four of
them sold for 8.15 per hundred, and
the remaining SIX for $725 per hun

Why this increase?" demand the people, and for the most part the statesmen simply can give the schoolboys answer, cause.
 Strange as it may seem, the interest most incensed by the retail raise is the American Canegrowers' association, which charges openly and emphat.cally that the refners are mulcting the people and are extorting enormous profits without req sonable excuse. The retail price of sugar. the association points out, has risen steadily since September 1913 in the face of the tariff reduction, and it asserts that the curtailment of foreign supply is not sufficient to warrant prevailing prices, which in Washington and neigh boring cities run to and 10 cents a pound.

 This. however, is not a fact. In tinanc- ing railroads. waterworks and any simi- uar undertaking, the interest on the bond issue which will accrue during the pro cess of construction is usually accounted as part of the capitalization of the undertaking, In all probability this Will be the way the waterworks would be built if it Is built. In fact, a member of the city commission has already hinted at this mode of procedure.
 This would mean that of the money de- rived from the sale of the s4.50o,uoO Of waterworks bonds. an amount would be expended in the construction of the plant so as to leave a sufficient sum to carry the bond issue interest payments during the period of construction and until the income from the undertaking would take care of the interest payments.

It is pointed out. however. that these figures cannot be taken at their face value For instance, after the proposed municipal waterworks is built, accord ing to the report of City Eengineer Julian kendrick. who is admittedly an expert in the matter, the net income of the mu- nieipal water plant will pay this interest on the bonds it took to build 1t and will leave net clear profit to the city of over S5o,eoo year. Therefore, after the water plant is once placed in operation the bonded indebtedness of the city will be increased 66 per cent. but the annual in terest payment will be decreased as a matter of fact by reason of the income from the waterworks.
 That this income Is not merely dream on paper is argued by reason of the fact that the present waterworks company is making money and paying the interest on it's bonded indebtedness.
 The only remaining considerat ton as far as the proposed municipal waterworks is concerned is that the interest on the bond

IF WATERWO ORKS BONDS ARE ISSUED CTTYS
 ANNUAL INTEREST PAYMENT WILL EQUAL
 ASTOUNDING FIGURE OF S5O9715 YEARLY


 If the proposed s4.5oc.ooo bond issue for municipal wate1'works is authorized by the voters and the bonds are issued by the city commission, the bonded indebted ness and the annual interest payments of the city will be increased approximately 66 per cent.
 This information is gleaned from lit tie figuring with the present bonded in debtedness of the city as working basis The present bonded indebtedness og the city is s5,ss3.7oo The annual interest pay ment on these outstanding bonds aggre- gates a total annual expenditure of SOL 215.
 As soon as the city commission sells the waterworks bonds they will begin bearing i1s per cent interest, which will mean a total of s2oe 800 per annum, there by increasing the annual interest pay ments approximately ee per cent and mak- ing the total annual interest payment of the city the enormous sum of s50a,15 per year-ovcr s5oo,oo in interest alone.
