the floors are always cold during the

In the opinion of experts in the

meal offers an excellent opportunity
to the farmer to feed beef cattle at u

Selecting Steers For Feeding.

girth.
They must have strong frame. with
plenty of room for vital organs, for u

A wide head and muzzle usually In

The skin should be reasonably thick,
soft and covered by heavy coat OF

The animal should nave a straight
back and low set appearance. due to
the depth of body and short legs.

is fed. In Indiana, for example, 1t
was found that the addition Of one
pound of cottonseCd meal to ration
of corn and clover hay resulted In u
saving of 1877 pounds of corn and l.41
pounds of clover hay. This means that
If corn was worth 70 cents bushei
and clover hay SIS ton, each ton Of
the farmer 500 40 worth OF other feed.
With cottonseed meal at $24 ton
this Is a net saving of $31. 40-a saving
well worth while.
Twenty four dollars ton may seem
low for cottonseed meal. but as mat
bought in the south at prices ranging
from SD to $24 per ton instead of SIT
to $3l, demanded last year. At these
prices cottonseed meal is appro ximate-
ly SIS per ton cheaper than linseed
meal. Cottonseed bulls had an even
greater drop in price and are now sell
ing at from $i SO to $3.50 u ton.
In addition to it's feeding value the
fertilizing value of cottonseed meal Is
very high. 50 high indeed at present
prices the meal could be probably
used for fertilizer alone. When fed to
cattle from 80 to 30 per cent OF this
fertilizing value remains IN the ma
nure In other words. when the en-
richment of the land Is taken into
consideration the cattle are fed at u
cost Of from only 10 to 70 per cent OF
the market price OF the cottonseed

partment of agriculture. affords an OPP
portunity to the farmer to make profits
on the feeding of live stock which he
has not enjoyed for many years.

so large sum as ST., 519 having
already been paid in commissions,
says the Farmer, that President
knudsen's contract provides that
he shall receive the full amount
OF his Is per cent on the sales
price of each share as soon as
sold, whether paid in full or in
part, or by note of the purchaser,
and he draws that sum down
from the treasury. Therefore
he has already been paid in full
commission on the entire $242,-
600 worth of stock sold although
only about one-half that sum has
been received by the company.
1t is quite evident that the Olym-
pic Trading & Supply Co. is a
profitable venture for Mr.. Knud-
sen, and it is not particularly
material to his welfare whether
the merchandising end pays or
not, excepting in so far as the
promotion of further sales by in
creasing the membership be con-
cerned!
Summing up the present status
of the company, the Farmer
says:
Out of approximately $125,O00
paid in by members for the pur-
pose of building up business in
which they would share equally,
there is on hand a stock of goods
which they appraise at $21, 948.-
SO, and this together with cash
on hand So, 935, and fixtures ap-
praised at $2,S51 makes total
of 1923, 724 of assets. To get
these assets together it has cost
the members 500, 900 above the
value of the assets and they are
further obligated to the extent
of SLIT, 1876 in deferred pay
ments. If any of these deferred
payments are in the form of
notes they may be negotiated
and perhaps used by the officers
as security for further sums.
Mr.. Knudsen also draws the
modest salary of $500 per month
as president; Mr.. Dabney, the
manager, gets 5000, and Mr..
Fowler the secretary, SITS. But
the salary of Mr.. Knudsen at
least is mere pin money. Also
Mr.. Gale Smith, the first vice
president, draws $50 per month
as an advisor. The value of Mr..
Smiths prestige is reckoned as
worth great deal as he is con-
nected with the Northwest Trad
ing Company of Spokane.
Mr.. Chamberlain draws $25
per month as editor of the COM
pany's organ, "The Olympic"
Trader" the aim of which lis to
enlighten and inform our men,
bers that it will inspire their
and thus tend to solid
a n d substantial business
growth"
The Wenatchee World of
March 20 reprints a large part
of the article which appeared in
the March Farmer and adds:
The Olympic Trading Company
claims to have over 400 stock
holders in the Wenatchee valley
and asserts that it is going to
establish a branch house in We
natchee. 1t is quite evident that
the company is a profitable VEN
ture for President Knudsen and
Vice President Smith.
The World makes further COM
ment on the financial statement
printed in the Farmer, as fol-
lows:
Nothing is said in this state
ment about the price of t h e
stock, but the figures indicate
that it is based on the par value
of 500 a share and not on the
price actually paid for it by the
stockholders. AS the stock has
been sold at from $40 to $50 a
share stockholders naturally
wonder what becomes of the ad-
ditional amount received above
the par value. 1t has been as
serted that Gale Smith is kindly
