the cost Of loading and bedding cars
average $O.O19 per 100 pounds live
weight, according to figures furnished
the general trade commission by the
United States department Of agricul-

Similar records on 253 carloads Of
hogs showed the cost of loading and

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

It has been observed that the Jest
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 hatched pullets
Of the year previous will start molt-
ing during June, and a little judgment
should be exercised In such cases. A
check should be made with other tests.

right in the city. The stands open on
one side on covered gallery, with
offices and private entrances from the
street side. which can be much Inn
proved. The exhibits are now housed
in a multitude of wooden buildings
forming streets along the side of the
river, and in the neighboring squares
of the city, often to the bewilderment
and confusion Of the visitor.
"The Worlds Fair, or Universal Ex-
position, which from the middle Of the
last century to 1900 was held in Paris
every eleven years, will probably be
abandoned until the new economic sit
uation shall have become entirely set
tied. The changes that have been
wrought by the war make 1t imprac-

this time. as 1t would be too great q

srs 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 $14.91 per hundredweight for
2,298 head fed In the winter Of 1913
10, $18.S3 for 3,O41 cattle In survey
study during the winter Of 1919-2O,
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 (191s19) carrying an expense bill
Of from $13 to $1S hundredweight,
while in 1919-20 the costs Of most Of
the cattle were between $11 and ST.
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 a 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 5000 and
$14.57 on two groups for which rec
ortls were obtained in 10000.
These figures are the results of the

finished products that the French
colonies require are not wanting In the
United States, whose foreign trade
under the new order Of things can be
said to be still in its infancy.
IAN announcement Of one Of the ex-
hibitors at the Bordeaux fair, now In
progress. is suggestive Of many things
in foreign trade. It reads: Sorghum
Straw Brooms. This important manu-
featuring house makes a speciality of
brooms called American and of Span
ish mats and brushes. These are spe-
cial articles for export. Represents
tives are sought for France and
abroad The house exhibiting these
exotic wares has its factory In the
south of France. There are many
streets of exhibits that are not limited
to articles de Paris.
ITO avoid any duplication of effort
and to correct all conflicting plans, ar
rangements are now being perfected
to have these three fairs coordinate
their work. It is expected that this
will economic time and money and
increase the conveniences that can be
extended to foreign exhibitors and buy

ment will be 1t is difficult to forecast.
At, any rate, 1t will give permanence

Illinois and Indiana, and preliminary
reports on the work in these states

Feeding Plays Minor Part
The greater part Of the Nebraska
cattle covered in the survey work Of
1919-19 made their gains at cost Of
from 20 to IS cents per pound, with
extremes ranging from IL 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 to 50
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
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 191S-19 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 So and $12. OF the p droves
covered by the detailed cost-account-
ing method, II cost between $40 and
S11. The weight Of the feeders varied
rather widely, averaging about 75O
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 IS 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
wears 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 $14.91,
and for 1920, $13.S3. The droves
covered by the cost-accounting method
showed a much narrower range. from
$40 to $1S with an average Of e13.39.
The financial return varied widely,
ranging from $50 profit or more per
head, reported for 40 head In 191S-19,
to $50 or more per head loss. reported
for 1856 head in 1850 and for over
200 head in 1920. AZ has been
stated above. on the average there was
q loss incurred in handling cattle each
year. reaching $14.57 per head as the
average loss Of the 1876 cattle on the
