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 1915

study during the winter of 1920,
and an average of S13.39 for an addi-
tlonal 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

of from S13 to SIS hundredweight,
while In 1890 the costs of most of
the cattle were between S11 and $17.
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 precarious venture, more likely
to be improbable than not. There
was an average loss per head Of $3.17
on the cattle for which records were
obtained in 191S-19, and of S1069 and
S14.57 on two groups for which rec

PAID HIM TO KEEP QUIET
Incident Of Wall Street That We Pub

There was man in Wall street, EN-

ier in a bank. 1t took the bank di-
rectors Immediately advanced him to
cashier, on the theory that his new
responsibilities would preclude his
conversing with outsiders on impor-
tant matters. But it didn't work.
The cashier was in more favorable
position to relay important things to
the financial scribes. He was pro-
NOTED to vice presidency. He talked
louder and more frequently.
In desperation the bank directors
made him president of the institr lion.
1t worked wonders. He stopped talk
ing. Thereafter he spoke only through
prepared statements. and while they
were long and windy they revealed
nothing disturbing.-From Life.

LATE MoLTERS ARE FAVORED
Hens That Undergo Transformation
During July and August Are Not
Best Layers.

1t has been observed that the lest
layers usually molt during the latter
part of September or the months of
October, November and December.
Hens that molt 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 TO use either in
the breeding pen or the laying pen. In
some cases, the early Matched pullets
of the year previous will start molt-
ing during June, and n little Judgment
should be exercised in such cases. A
check should be made with other tests.

LORD MAYOR MacSWINEY DEAD

73 DAYS FAST.
.SINN FEIN LEADER DEAD
BEGAN HUNGER STRIKE ON AU-
GUST 12, WHEN ARRESTED
IN CORK.
ws....n Nswspapsr Union New. Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
London, oct. 25.-Terrence Mac
Swlney, lord mayor of Cork, died at
Brixton prison after seventy-three
days of his hunger strike.
MacSwiney's hunger strike was be-
gun on Aug. L., when, with ten of his
associates, he was arrested by sol
diers in Cork while attending II ses-
sion of Sim Fein court. After trial
by courtmartial under the regula-
tions of the defense of the realm act,
he was found guilty of sedition and
sentenced to two years Imprisonment,
which he was serving in Brixton
prison in London.
MacSwiney, then an alderman of
Cork, was elected lord mayor of the
city mt n special session of the Cork
corporation on March 80 of this year
He was well-known Sim Fein lead
er, and prior to his election had been
deported and imprisoned several
times, one of the latest notable in
stances of his confinement having
been in 1916, in connection with the
Irish Easter revolt.
When arrested on Aug. II, Mac
Swiney managed to escape to the
street from the back Of the city hall,
which soldiers had surrounded, but
was captured outside He was taken
TO the military barracks, and came up
for trial on Aug. lG. The courtmar-
tial found him guilty Of having control
OF the secret police cipher, of having in
his possession document likely to
cause disaffection, namely, copy of
the resolution of the Cork corporation
pledging allegiance to the Dali Fire
ann, the Irish Republican parliament.
and of having made seditious speech
on the occasion of his election.
Already weak at the trial because
of his refusal to take food, MacSwin-
ey disputed the jurisdiction of the
court, saying II am the lord mayor of
| this city and its chief magistrate l
declare this court illegal and those TAX
ing part in it liable TO arrest under the
laws of the Irish republic"
The day following his trial Lord
Mayor MacSwiney was deported to
England, aboard destroyer, under "A
heavy military escort, and was lodged
in Brlxton jail. The government an
nounced on Aug. 10 that he was SEN
fenced to two years imprisonment.
Father Dominic, his private chap
lain, and his brother, John MacSwiney,
were with him at the time.

Rhubarb which has not been giving
very good results during the past
season, should be dug this fall, and
the roots allowed TO remain in the
open during the winter. IN the spring
as soon as the ground can be pre-
pared. the large root or mother root
should be divided into from six TO
eight parts and planted. A root four

reports on the work in these states

Feeding Plays Minor Part.
The greater part of the Nebraska
cattle covered in the survey work of
191S-19 made their gains at cost of
from 20 TO 35 cents per pound, with
extremes ranging from 10 to 4S cents,
while of the cattle covered the next
year the greater part made their gains
at from Is to 35 cents per pound, with
an extreme range of from 8 to SO
cents. While economical feeding is
shown to be the major factor in the
cost of fattenlng after the steer Is
bought, the investigation substantiates
the fact that feeding usually plays n
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
at about the same figures in both years
of the investigation. In 1850 three
of .the droves were bought at between
Sc and 81, but most of the cattle COW
cred in the study went into the lot at
between IS and $40. of the 81 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 fatteniTg the steer after
purchase, was found to constitute
from 10 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 of the study the cost of the cat
tie covered In the surveys ranged from
about IS to 500 per hundred fattened,
the average for 191S-19 being S14.91,
and for 1920, S13.S3. The drovcs
covered by the cost-accounting method
showed a much narrower range, from
$40 to SIS with an average. of Sl3.39.
The financial return varied widely,
ranging from $50 profit or more per
head, reported for 40 head In 191s-l9,
to $50 or more per head loss. reported
for 1856 head In 191S-19 and for over
200 head in 1920. AS has been
stated above, on the average there was
a loss incurred in handling cattle each
year, reaching S14.57 per head as the
average loss of the 795 cattle on the
detailed route In 1920. However, a
number of farmers carried their cattle
through with profit.
