KILL OWN CHILDREN AT BIRTH
Arioi Of Tahiti Look Upon Attempt OF
One Of Their Order to Raise
Child as Sin.

Lovers of laughter. song, music,

killed their own children at birth, and
looked upon the attempt Of member
OF their order to rear a child as a
sin. While religious causes were
given for this by the leaders and. no
doubt. believed In, the real cause.
Frederick O'Brien tells in the Century,
was q natural one whereby the species,

South sea island, destroyed It's own.
With perfect health and no enemies.
the island would soon have had a hard
time finding food.
The AriOi were wandering MINISTRIES,
actors, priests and wonder workers TO
which belonged both men and women.
The natives of Tahiti who have es-
capped the blight of civilization are
living proofs that at one time the race
was one of the most beautiful I'm the
worlds history. while Investigators
declare that arts and civilization were
brought to a high plane hundreds OF

Feeding Plays Minor Part.
The greater part Of the Nebraska
cattle covered in the survey work OF
1888 made their gains at n cost Of
from 20 TO 80 cents per pound. with
extremes ranging from II 10 As cents,
while OF the cattle covered the next
year the greater part made their gains
mt from Is TO 30 cents per pound, with
an extreme range OF from 3 TO 53
cents. While economical feeding is
shown TO be the major factor In the
cost of fattening after the steer is
bought the investigation subStantiates
the fact that feeding usually plays a
minor part In determining profit or
loss, and that buying right and sell
ing right are more often the control
ling factors.
The cattle in question were bought
ut about the same figures In both years
OF the investigation. In 191S-19 three
of the droves were bought at between
Sc and 81, but most OF the cattle COW

between SS and SO OF the u drOveS
covered by the detailed cost-accOunt-
Ing method. II cost between SO and
S11. The weight Of the feeders varied
rather widely. averaging about $50
pounds with but few over 1000 pounds
or under 500.
Feed. the most important factor of
the cost of fattening the steer after
purchase. was found to constitute
from - TO 90 per cent of all the ex-
pense involved in handling the steers
after being put on feed
Wide Variation In Cost Factors.
The wide variation in the factors
affecting cost was reflected in equally
wide variation in the total cost of the
finished cattle. During both OF the
years vi the SluuN the COSt OF the cat
tie covered in the surveys ranged from
about IS 10 500 per hundred fattened.
the average for 191S-19 being S14.91,
and for 1920, Si3S2 The droves
covered by the coSt-accOunting method
showed much narrower range. from
so 10 SIS with an average of S1339.
The financial return varied widely,
ranging from $50 profit or more per
head. reported for 40 head in 1859,
10 $50 or more per head loss reported
for 155 head in 1888 and for over
200 head in 1920 AS has been
stated above. on the average there was
loss incurred in handling cattle each
year. reaching S14.57 per head as the
average loss OF the 100 cattle on the
detailed route in 1919-20. However n
number of farmers carried their cattle
through with profit.

LATE MOlTERS ARE FAVORED
Hens That Undergo transformation
During July and August Are Not
Best Layers.

1t has been observed that the best
layers usually mott during the latter
part Of September or the months of
October. November and December.
Hens that mott during july and
August are not the profitable hens, as
they rest for three or four months
while they grow their new feathers
and will not start in laying until the
following February or March. These
hens are not the kind 10 use either in
the breeding pen or the laying pen. In
some cases, the early hatched pullets
of the year previous will start mott
ing during June, and little judgment
should be exercised in such cases. A
check should be made with other tests.

causes an actual money loss TO the
farmer, because any loss in weight in
baled hay is borne by the shipper, who
usually receives the hay as soon as 1t
is baled.
If the shipper stores baled hay for
speculation, there often will be a
money loss caused by shrinkage, be-
cause he has purchased an excess

There is practically no loss Of dry

CATTLE IN WEST
Investigations Conducted in Me-
braSka Show Wide Varia-
ton in Figures.
FEEDING PERIL0US VENTURE
Buying Right and Selling Right Are
Controlling Factors-Some Farm
ers Carried Animals Through
With Profit.

According to cost of production in
vestigations conducted by the United
States department OF agriculture in
cooperation with the University of
Nebraska In parts of Nebraska during
the past two years, the average cost
of corn-fed cattle laid down at mar
ket was S14.91 per hundredweight for
2.293 head fed in the winter of 1918
10, S13.S3 for 3,041 cattle Ia survey
study during the winter of $1,000.
and an average of $3.50 for an addi-
tional 795 cattle upon which detailed
cost figures were secured during the
same winter The costs upon some
drOves were found TO vary widely from
these average figures, with the major
portion going TO market the first Win
ter (91S-19) carrying an expense bill
Of from $13 TO SIS a hundredweight,
while in 1920 the costs of most of
the cattle were between $11 and SIT.
The facts thus far brought out by the
investigation would indicate. that dur
ing the past two years, in the district
covered by the survey, cattle feeding
was q precarious venture, more likely
TO be Improbable than not. There
was an average loss per head Of S3.17
on the cattle for which records were
obtained in 191S-19, and of $1,000 and
S14.57 on two groups for which rec
ords were obtained in 1920.
These figures are the results of the
first two years work of a five-year
