Corrected His Lawyer.

James Engle, former judge of the
Randolph county circuit court, was
once called on to defend, at Winches-
ter, the owner of a legion patch who
had shot an invader. The only pos
sble defense for the prisoner was self
defense. The trial had proceeded to
the point where the defendant was on
the stand and was being questioned on
direct examination by Engle.
"Now, Sam" said Engle, 'you say
you shot in self-defense. Just tell the
jury all about it in your own way
"No, sir. JIM" said the witness.
"You got that wrong. l didn't say
that. 1t was just like told you in
your Office before we come down here.
l didn't shoot him in self-defense; /
shot him in the back and he jumped

BEST SPEED FOR SEPARATORs
Appalling Loss of Cream Due to Uni.
versaI Tendency Of Operator to
Work Machine Slowly.

At Purdue university the experiment
station collected and published A lot
of data showing the appalling loss in
cream due to the universal tendency Of
separator operators to turn the ma
chine too slowly. Their bulletin No. 116,
volume Is, was a revelation to many,
many dairymen, who had been losing
anywhere up to $500 per year worth Of
butterfat, simply by turning their sepa-
ratOrs below speed.
At the fairs recently, leading
SpeedOmeter manufacturer had thou
sands Of tests run to get further proofs
positive that great majority of OPP
orators turn their machines below
speed. Over 95 per cent of the dairy
men turned their machines too slowly.
And a majority turned them so far be-
low speed that they were losing
pounds and pounds of butterfat every
week.

shipped in carload lots by owners than
any other class of live stock. Cattle,
hogs and calves follow in the order
named. In sales to local buyers hogs
lead with calves, cattle and sheep fol-
lowing in order.
The study discloses that the time of
buying stockers and feeders and the
selling of finished animals is restrict
ed too generally to a few months of
the year. Should stock-feeding opera
tons be better adjusted to market con-
ditions, decided influence toward a
more even distribution of the supply
would be the result.
Cooperative associations of cattle
laisers are becoming an important fac
tor in marketing, the report shows.
Seven hundred and fifty organizations
which market cattle in a cooperative
way now exist in Is states. Four
hundred and thirty of these organiza-
tons are primarily livestock shipping
associations. The greatest activity of
this sort was found in Minnesota,
where 215 cooperative livestock ship
ping associations are located. The de-
partment specialists declare that these
associations bring greater returns to
the farmers because of the reduction
of marketing expenses and the realiza-
ton of the prevailing prices at the cen
tralized markets, and that they are also
valuable because of their educational
features.
The system Of centralized livestock
markets in the United States is the
largest single factor in the marketing
Of meat animals. 1t is noteworthy that
this system is peculiar to the United
States, no other country having de-
veloped such markets for their live
stock. Not only is live stock sold for
slaughter at the centralized markets,
but large proportion of stocker and
feeder cattle also passes through these
| market cCnterS.
The Chief outlet for fOOd-prOduCing
animals in this country. the study dis
closes, is wholesale Strengthening and
meat packing. Such industries usually
are associated with the great central
lied markets. More than 1000 slaugh-
tering and meat-packing establish
ments were operating in the United
States in 1914, and turned out products

COST OF FARMERS
MUTUAL INSURANCE
(By j. o. RANKIN. Missouri Col
lege of Agricultural


lege of Agriculture.)
Few now doubt the value Of
} insurance if the cost can be
kept low enough to keep it 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 it
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 mil
lion dollars in risks at a cost of
less than 5000 year, excluding,
of course, the losses paid. The
typical farmers company can do
things Of this kind because it
pays no salaries, or only a very
small salary to a secretary.
Often there is no payment ex-
ccpt q small amount per day to

time actually given in adjusting

: is some slight expense for post

! which in the opinion Of the specialists,
! will continue to be important in these
parts Of the country remote from cen

Of H." western group of states III gen
Grad. There is a decided difference Of
| opinion among producers, markctmcn,
and packers as 10 the effects Of This
! practice in sections supplied with cen
| tral markets on the general market
prices Of live stock and on the pros
pcrity 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-
| tCrhOuSc. Public abattoirS have been
established in % cities and Is states.
| Local conditions should determine
whether or not a city should build its
own abattoir, and a thorough eXamna-
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 per cent. The total claims for
such loss and damage in 19l3-19l4 on
q railroads were S1,245, 477.S1. The
average rates on live stock for the
years 1911 and 1918 were found to be
10 cents per hundred pounds for east
ern or official territory, 11.9 cents for
southern territory, and 14.9 cents for
western territory.
The correlation between average live
stock and meat prices over relatively
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 one 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 81 per cent to So per cent,
while from 2 per cent to per cent
went to pay market expenses, 2 per
cent to per cent was received by the
packers, and 8 per cent to SO per cent
by the retailers. In the local sales,
from 81 per cent to 81 per cent Of the
gross returns was received by the
farmer and from Is per cent to 80 per
cent by the retailer. The detailed fig
ures indicate, however, that even 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.

Fifth to Pass Through
Atlanta on Way to Border

CAMP HARRIS, MACON. Ga, Sept.
27.-Camp Harris was thrown into a
fervor of excitement this morning by
press reports that the Georgia brigade
had been ordered to the border. The
news spread like fire through the camp
and shouts went up from the troops
successive as it spread. The camp was
happier than 1t had been in months.
The border had come TO be n dream. Both
men and officers seem eager TO go.
Official orders setting the date of
departure are watched for eagerly. They
had not arrived at noon. While the
business of packing and entraining the
brigade can be accomplished in five
days, according to the quartermaster's
department. yet it is not thought likely
that the troops will begin TO leave be-
fore Thursday of next week.
Under previous arrangements, the
Fifth infantry was routed through At
lanta. This probably will continue in
force and the Atlanta regiment pass
through Atlanta en- route to the border.
Other regiments are expected to go By
Montgomery. The destination in Texas
is unknown here.
A provost guard is now in Atlanta
collecting up absentes from camp. Of
ficers on leave and men on furlough
will be recalled as soon as official or
ders are received.

The contests for the legislature in
Coffee county and the senate in the
Forty third district were referred to the
state executive committee. In Coffee
c. E. Stewart is contesting the nomina-
ton of John A. Paulk on the charge that
he was allowed to pay his assessment
fee after the time fixed had passed.
In the forty-third senatorial district
L. F. Peoples is contesting the nomina-
ton of E. H. Beck on the charge that in
some precincts in Murray county men
had voted whose names were not on
the voters lists in the district where
they voted.
This matter was investigated by the
executive committee of Murray county
and the committee held that the con-
testant had no grounds for a contest.
