'Please, judge" he pleaded, pressing
the advantage, cant l have u dollar

Mrs. Erb, who had miraculOusly

SPLENDID SPECIMENS OF BEEF TYPE.

of the industry Is the concentration of
ownership. Packing establishments buy
directly from the producer In Califor-
mia to q greater extent than In any
other state or section. This practice,
which in the opinion of the specialists,
will continue to be important In those
parts of the country remote from cen
tralized markets, is most characteristic
of the western group of states in gen.
eral. There is n decided difference of
opinion among producers, marketmen,
and packers as to the effects of this
practice in sections supplied with CEN
trail markets on the general market
prices Of live stock and on the pros
perity of cattle raisers.
Municipality owned or controlled
abattoirs are becoming increasingly i'm
portant in the local marketing of live
stock, the report shows, and are dis
placing rapidly the old type of slaugh-
terhouse. Public abattoirs have been
established in % cities and 10 states.
Local conditions should determine
whether or not a city should build it's
own abattoir, and a thorough examina-
ton of conditions, therefore, should be
made before definite action is taken.
Great variations were found to exist
in the losses Of, and damage to, live
stock in transit on different railroads.
On one road the claims paid amounted
to 10 per cent of the revenue during a
certain period, and on another to less
than 5 per cent. The total claims for
such loss and damage In 1913-1914 on
81 railroads were $1,245,477.S1. The
years 1911 and 1913 were found to be
10 cents per hundred pounds for east
ern or official territory, lilo cents for
southern territory, and 14.9 cents for
western territory.
The correlation between average live
long periods is closer than Is generally
understood. When the price of live
stock rises or falls, meat prices tend to
change in the same directions, but the
meat prices are not subject to abrupt
daily fluctuations, which are n of the
most adverse features of livestock
market conditions.
In order to secure information as to
the relative cost of the different fac
tors or steps in the processes of mar
keting animals and the proportions Of
the final price reaching the farmer and
other parties to the transactions, the
specialists traced several typical lots
of beef cattle from producer to con-
sumner, both through centralized mar
kets and where the animals were dis
posed of locally. In the former case the
farmers share Of the gross returns
ranged from "a per cent to So per cent,
while from 2 per cent to s per cent
went to pay market expenses, 2 per
cent to o per cent was received by the
packers, and s per cent to 33 per cent
by the retailers. In the local sales,
from 81 per cent to "a per cent of the
gross returns was received by the
farmer and from Is per cent to SO per
cent by the retailer. The detailed fig
ures indicate, however, that yer when
account is taken of the fact that lower
grade stock is sold locally the returns
from such sales are not as great rela-
lively as those from sales through cen
traliZed markets.

Gently learned that her child, whom
she believed she had buried, was alive
and well, and another mother, called
to the hospital to claim her baby as
cured, found that her child was dead.
Michael Napis went to work the 9TH
er morning humming u Russian mel
ody, for u card which the priest had
translated for him had lifted the
shadow that had hung over his home
for weeks. 1t said that his little girl,
eighteen months old, whom a white
jacketed man had taken away In an
ambulance despite his wife's protests,
had recovered from ~infantile paraly-
sis.
In obedience to the summons, Mrs.
Napis was to call at the hospital and
when Michael returned that evening
there would be one more smile to well
come him.
Clutching the card, Mrs. Napis took
her seat on the edge of a bench. in the
Office Of the hospital. When her turn
came she thrust the bit Of %pasteboard
at the trim. eficient-looking nurse who
questioned her.
Not Her Baby.
A few more tense minutes, and the
nurse returned, carrying u baby. Smil-
ing at the rapture in the mothers face,
she laid the child in her arms, drawing
down the blanket a trifle.
Mrs. Napis, turning to hide her emo
ton from the people who had kept her
baby so long, bent her head over the
Nesting burden. Then she wheeled
suddenly, suspicion glowing in her fea-
lures. To~rrentlal Slavic sentences
burst from her lips. She thrust the
baby back into the arms Of the nurse
and collapsed on the bench, weeping.
An interpreter was called. He eX-
planned that Mrs. Napis slid the child
was not hers; that she wanted her
w baby.
There was considerable delay. Mrs.
Napis sat silent on the edge Of the
bench, rocking back and forth. Anoth-

SUSPENDED Animation.

1t has been determined that the
fluids of insect bodies, for instance,
freeze ut Al degrees Fahrenheit, any
vital function becoming impossible at
this temperature. At temperatures be-
tween this point and the temperature
at which death will occur, a strange
condition of suspended animation ex-
lists, the organism being. as 1t were.
between life and death. In such a
state the vital functions stop work, and
as there Is no activity In the body, no
food Is required. Animals placed In
this state are readily restored by the
gradual rise In temperature. This con.
dition can be compared with that Of q
clock with stopped pendulum, the
mechanism of which could be ut any
moment started again by a slight i'm.
pulse given to the pendulum.

COST OF FARMERS .
MUTUAL INSURANCE
CBy ]. o. RANKIN, Missouri Col
lege of Agriculture,)

(By j. o. RANKIN, missouri Col
lege Of Agriculture.)
Few now doubt the value of
insurance IL the cost can be
kept low enough to keep 1t from
being too great a burden. OF
course, for every dollars worth
of property destroyed someone
must pay. Insurance simply dis
tributes this loss so that 1t
doesn't fall so heavily on the
man who happens to be unfortu-
nate. The efficient company will
give the greatest possible protec-
ton for the least possible cost In
addition to the actual payment
of loss. There are said to be
farmers mutual companies In
this country handling over a mill
lion dollars in risks at a cost OF
less than 5000 a year, excluding,
of course. the losses paid. The
typical farmers company can do
things of this kind because 1t
pays no salaries, or only a very
small salary to a secretary.
Often there is no payment ex-
cept a small amount per day to
q secretary and adjuster for the
time actually given in adjusting
losses. In addition to this, there
is some slight expense for post
age in case members are notified
of meetings and assessments by
mail, and for paper. envelopes
and a few simple office supplies
of this kind.
