Meat and meat animals are marketed

There are also marked differences In
the extent 10 which the different
classes OF animals are marketed In the
three ways These facts are brought
out In q report Of e survey Of live
stock and meat-marketing conditions
Of the country made By specialists Of
the United States department Of agri-

The bulk OF the animals from the

The strength comes from the num-

truss which reaches from one sill TO

A small BARI built in the substan-
tlal manner called for by this design
Is not only fur better-appearing than
"a cheaper structure, but when II has
once been properly constructed Il Is
ready for long period OF use. during
which time the money spent for re

There is 10 reason why the small
farm should no; have buildings Of Hs
high quality as those Of the larger
farms There ls little saving realized
In the long run when cheap. poorly.
constructed buildings are placed on a
farm OF any size. Small buildings may

/ 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
7 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 l9l3-1gl4 on
q railroads were Sl-245,47T,sl. The
| average rates on live stock for the
years 1911 and 1913 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 10
change 10 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-
sumer. 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 S. per cent,
while from 2 per cent TO . per cent
went to pay market expenses. per
cent TO 0 per cent was received by the
packers, and per cent to 80 per cent
by the retailers. In the local sales
from 81 per cent to 81 per cent Of the
gross returns was received by tbs
. farmer and from Is per cent TO IS pei
cent by the retailer. The detailed fig
ures indicate. however. that even wher
account is taken Of the fact that lowel
grade stock Is sold locally the return:

lively as those from sales through cen
trallzed markets.

Few now doubt the value of

kept low enough TO keep II 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 IL
doesn't fall so heavily on the
nan who happens tC 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 cost of
less than 500 a year, excluding,
of course. the losses paid. The
typical farmers company can do
things Of this kind because II
pays no salaries, or only very
small salary TO a secretary.
Often there is no payment ex-

SHAKESPEARE PUT
AT MOVIE PRICES
Eight Hundred Thousand
School Children Enabled to
See "The Tempest"
CONTRIBUTIONS INVITED

Shakespeare at movie prices Is the
Drama Society's solution OF the prob
lem to give all school children the OPP
portunity to enjoy the society's produce
ton OF THE Tempest at the Century
Theatre. The plan Ii made possible
through the generosity OF Clarence II.
Mackay. who has taken the lead In con-
tributing n sum OF one by which the
society will be able to admit school chill
dren for 10 cents each.
The Drama Society was very DESTROYS
that all children should see The Tenn
pest" since the production IL the first
effort Of the society to make staged
classics an integral part Of the edu-
cational system of the city. 1t has been
selling tickets at from so cents to 10
cents. depending upon whether the seats
were on the ground fool or In the bal
cony and gallery but It was found that
the SOC. 900 children in the New
York school there were many whose
parents were In no circumstances even
to pay as much as 10 cents.
a The society Is hoping to make ar
rangemcnts with teachers by which tick
cts may be procured for needy children
without cost to the children themselves.
Not all children can be admitted free.
II for no other reason than that free
tickets would be apt to make them un-
d~ervalue their opportunity but 1t Is
recognized that very many who ought
TO have the chance 10 enjoy one of the
most beautiful and amusing plays In the
English language are unable to pay any
thing. and that these must he taken
care OF.
Mr.. Mackay. m Of the subscribers TO
THE Tempest" producing fund. has con-
tributed n sum which Is to be applied 10
free tickets for this class of needy chill
dren. and the society Is issuing a call
to all public spirited citizens to coop
crate. Ten children may be provided for
by 81 and fifty children with s.. Con-
tributions may be sent to the treasurer
OF the Drama Society. Thomas W. La
mont. at % Wall street. Mrs. Josephine
Clement. who il in charge Of the party
subscriptions, will furnish infof nation at
the Century Theatre or may be called
by telephone. Columbus $500.
The society addresses its appeal par
;icularly to well 10 do parents and sug-
gests that II would be desirable IL their
children could make. out Of allowances, a
small contribution toward the education
and enjoyment OF the less fortunate. In
this country all such efforts in behalf
Of needy children are left TO volunteer
effort. In Europe States and cities rec
ognize the value OF national classics in
the education Of children and make pro-
vision accordingly.

East followed in rapid succession until
the hotels were well crowded with brawn
and muscle tuned up for action In the
meet which Is recognized as the most
important college track fixture OF the
year.
Particular attention was paid to tho
Wisconsin cam, which promises 10 make
a. big a sensation on land as the Badger
crew did on the water in the noteworthy
race on the Hudson. The Wisconsin
boys are considered factors in the medley
race tomorrow and also in the mile and

Chicago and Michigan are other Western
teams believed /" be dangerous in tho
medley races. Will" the hopes of the
Fasteners will rest largely on pcnnsyl-

In the special events there are large
