Keeping Account Of Feed Given to
Cows Is Necessary to Determine
Cost of Producing Milk.
fairly representative Of many Middle
Western citieA
The investigation covered seven
companies, which sold about 16. 900
quarts Of milk and ear in 1920, or
approximately IS per cent of the total
quantity consumed. The companies
ranged in size from q very small one
wagon concern up to the largest, which
operated 40 milk routes.
From the point Of view Of the farm
er and the consumer. the important
question Is, What does 1t cOst to han
die the milk from the farm to the
consumer? The cost Of raw milk was
between SO per cen and Is per cent
Of the total cost Of the milk as 1t
reaches the consumer.
During the period under study the
retail price Of Grade A milk in Co
lumbus, as quoted by the dealers in
vestigated, ranged from Is cents to
Jas cents per quart, though during
1920 the two small dealers sold their
milk, which comes from tuberculin-
tested cows, for Is cents per quart.
At the same time the wholesale price
Of milk ranged from IL cents to 12h
cents.
The average number Of customers
per route In 1920 ranged from 169 to
297. and the number Of quarts per
wagon ranged from 178 to 1913, the
average being 262. 1t is noteworthy
that the most profitable company was
the one having the largest average
wagOnl0ad.

Agriculture.) -
How can the farmer and stock rails
er turn the live stock reports OF the
bureau Of markets, United States De
partment Of Agriculture. into dollars
is frequently asked.
The answer Is for the farmer to get
so much information out Of the re-
) ports that he can conduct his breed
ing, feeding and marketing operations
q little more intelligently in the fu-
ture, and therefore more probably
than In the past.
Market reports = history, and the
chief value Of history Is the basis
which it provides on which to fore
cast the future. In other words, what
has happened in the past will prob
ably occur again under the same or
similar circumstances.
Small benefit is generally derived
from reading a single market report.
or covering q short period Of time.
Markets move in cycles, and the man
who would keep informed must follow
them diligently In season and out
This Ia q matter Of particular impOr-
lance to the stockman. because his
business is, to an unusua degree, q
longtime speculation. He must pre-
pare now and lay his plans today in
light of what he thinks the market
will be anywhere from six months to
two years hence. But how will the
departments reports assist him In
doing this7
First Of all, he should take into &C
count potential supplies Of the par
ticular class Of live stock In which he
is interested. Assume that cattle Is
his line. The monthly report, Stock
at StOckyards, gives the number Of
cattle and calves marketed from
month to month through 68 central
markets. If such movements are I'M
usually heavy for any considerable
time, it may indicate a cattle short
age during the next year or two, and
a shortage of any commodity usually
means higher prices.
This same report also shows the
number of cattle and calves that went
back t o the country as stOckers and
feeders. If such movements were ex-
ceptionally light. it would help to con-
firm the belief that a comparative
shortage in cattle was impending. On
the other hand. heavy stOcker and
feeder shipments would go a long way
toward neutraliZing the importance OF
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1921-08-19

the heavy receipts, for the stockmen
would know that most of these cattle
going back to the country must be re-
turned to market during the next few
weeks or months and enter cOnsump-
ton channels.
Having established in this fashion
q broad basis for his operations, let
us assume the stOckman Is feeding .
lot Of steers for the market. He must
now give market reports more careful
and persistent attention than before.
1t is quite important that he know
what kind Of cattle are in best de-
mand ON the principal markets. II
there is a steady inquiry for heavy
finished cattle, and that kind are sell
ing at a premium over lighter weights,
it will probably pay him to "feed his
cattle out" unless the cost OF feed
is exceptionally high.
If, however, cOnsumptive demand
seem to be drifting steadily toward
lighter retail cuts of meat, or, because
Of general business depression or some
Olucr CAUSE, Is CcLtcIluS CAliCuy Ou
the lower and cheaper grades, he may
find it more profitable to market his
cattle at an earlier age and before
they have attained great weight.
Abundant information along this
line will be found both in the live
stock market reports and the reports
dealing with meat-trade conditions in
the large consuming centers.
In this connection the stOckman will
also be interested In keeping advised
as to whether the slaughter of meat
Is increasing or decreasing and wheth-
er the movement applies equally to all
classes of meat, or whether slaughter
Of beef Is decreasing while that Of
some other class. is increasing. This
information Is obtainable from the
statistical report covering the live
stock and meat situation, which II
based on the federal meat-inspecti0n
reports Of the bureau Of animal I'm
fdustry and Is also published monthly
sby the bureau q markett.

MILK DELIVERED TO CITIES
FIourss Announced BY Department %
Agriculture on Total Cost e
Ultimate Consumer.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
The total cost Of milk delivered to
the consumers door In Columbus, O.,
during the first six months Of 1920,
ranged from 11.3 cents up to 1873 cents
per quart. If the costs Of 0ne company
which does business In certified"
milk r omitted, according to the fig
ures recently announced by the United
States Department Of Agriculture. The
cost of the raw milk delivered at the
dairy ranged from 81 cents to 10 cents
per quart. The total cost Of Op-
Grating the dairy plant, including the
pasteurizing and bottling Of the milk.
ranged from I. cent to Ia cents per
quart, and the cost Of delivering the
milk from the dairy to the consumer
ranged from 1.61 cents to 80 cents per
quart.
The Item of administrative expense
varies widely. being as low as two
tenths Of q cent per quart for one
small company and - high as l cent
per quart for q large oncer
Two Of the " companies covered
were small concerns which produced
their own milk supply. The cost Of
producing the milk for these COM
panies In 1920 was SO cents per quart,
which Is very similar to the price paid
for milk by the larger concerns.
One Of the items Of cost which has
attracted most attention among stu
dents of the milk business Is the SO
called bottle loss" The depart
ment's study indicates that for the
companies covered In Columbus this
item ranges from One-tenth to two
tenths Of a rem per quart.
Great difficulty was experienced In
getting any satisfactory Information
concerning the shrihkage which takes
place In the handling and delivery Of
milk. but according to the best data
available this item amounts to be-
tween % per cent and So per cent Of
the total volume Of milk.

ton, which is reported to consume
about 27,OOO.OW quarts of milk per an
