No other country in the world has

No other country in the world has developed a system of centralized livestock markets such as exists in the United States. Not only Is live stock sold for slaughter at centraliz- ed markets, but large proportion of stocker and feeder cattle also passes through these market centers. Wholesale slaughtering and meat packing is the chief outlet for the country's food producing animals. Such industries are associated with the centralized markets. More than 200 slaughtering and meat packing establishments were operating in the United States in 1914 and turned out products worth s1,651. .765 .424.
 Concentration of ownership is de- clared by the specialists to be one of the striking features of the industry. Packing establishments buy directly from the producer in California to a greater extent than in any other state or section. Experts of the Department of Agriculture state that this prac- tice will continue to be important in those parts of the country remote from centralization markets The practice is most characteristic of the western group of states. Great dif- ference of opinion is found; among producers, marketmen, and packers
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-10-27

Great central markets handle four fifths of the sheep and lambs. two- thirds of the hogs, and approximately one-half of the cattle raised in the United States. Relatively more sheep are shipped in carload lots than any other class of live stock.
 The time of buying stockers and feeders, and the selling of finished animals is restricted too generally to few months of the year, 1t is de- clared A decided influence toward a more even distribution of the supply would result if stock-feeding opera tions were better adjusted to market conditions.
 Cattle raisers' cooperative associa- tions are becoming an important fac- tor in marketing. In fifteen states there are 700 organizations which market cattle in cooperative way. More than half of these are primarily live stock shipping organizations. The greatest activity in this respect was found in Minnesota, where 215 CO., operation live stock shipping associa- tions were located. Through these organizations the farmers get larger returns because of the reduction in marketing expenses and the realiza- ton of prevailing prices at central ized markets.

SYSTEMS
 USED MARKETING !. MEAT ANIMALS
America Only Nation to De. velop Centralized Live
 Stock Markets.

Washington, Oct. 27.-Government specialists of the Department of Az riculture, in a survey of live stock conditions in the United States have found marked variation in the meth ods of marketing meat animals in
 different sections of the country An
 exhaustive study of experts revealed
 that the three methods of marketing
 found to be in most common use are
 shipping to large centralized mar
 kets selling to butchers and packers and the sale of farm prepared meats
 to dealers or consumers.

as to the effects of this practice in sections supplied with central mar kets on the general market pricea of livestock and on the prosperity ot cattle, raisers.
 Increasingly important, in the local marketing of livestock, are the mu- nicipally owned or controlled abat- toirs. which are rapidly displacing the old type of slaughter -house. Pupno abattoirst have been established in 2S cities and 13 states.

ROBERT MINOR TELLS
OF DAYS AT. FRONT


Robert Minor in giving socialist
lecture at Ninth and Main streets last
evening gave an account of his three
months experience in the war zone.
He portrayed scenes on the battle
fields and told that the private sold
iers, when the officers left them alone,
went into the enemy trenches to visit.
He quoted a leading French socialist
as saying at the beginning of the war,
"It is too late to stop the war; you'll
have to fight, but when the war is
over, keep your guns
He advanced the idea that after the
war the people of the warning nations
would force the reputation of the war
debt which would lead to revolution
in all nations now at war, France lead
ing and the rest following. He said
that if these debts we're repudiated,
the United States would be called up
on to force payment because the mon
eyed interests of the United States
have helped finance the allies cause.
Thus the cry for preparedness.

Poor accounting on the part of the
township assessor of New Garden
township caused the county officials,
particularly County Assessor Mat
,theWs, considerable worry today.
In the report submitted to the
county auditor, the book of the New
Garden assessor showed a loss Of ap-
proximately 100000 compared with
the 1915. Mr. Matthews began scratch
ing his head to figure out the reason
for the loss but satisfied himself with
the thought that the board of review
would never allow shrinkage of this
great an amount in one township.
Mr.. Matthews, however, got busy on
the New Garden assessors books and
found that additions in the recapitula-
tion were wrong as reported by the
assessor. 1t was found that the loss
in that township was only $2,210, the
total assessment being $697,660. The
