It makes quite a difference In the
profits Of the farmer stock raiser
whether he obtains 81 cents per pound
for his hogs as meat or from n to Y
cent per pound for them as dead hogs
and soap-grease material. Which Of
these prices he obtains depends upon
how the animals are loaded in the
cars. Many shippers, either through
ignorance or in an effort to save a
small amount Of freight, overload or
improperly load their live stock when
sending it to market, and thereby run
great risks of sustaining serious losses
through crippled or dead animals, say
specialists Of the bureau of markets,

With freight rates at their present
levels there Is strong temptation to
economic on this item Of expense by
crowding q few more animals into an
already well-filled car. Representa-
tives Of the department, however, who
see thousands Of carloads Of live stock
unloaded at the great central markets,
are Of the opinion that II farmers and
stockmen could see the condition in
which much Of the live stock reaches
the stockyards they would be i'm
pressed not only with the folly Of
overlooking, but also with the abso-
lutte necessity Of taking every precau-
ton against injury and death Of the
animals while in transit.
Overlooking is one Of the common

mistakes made by the inexperienced
or careless shipper. 1t seems such an
easy matter to crowd just a few more
animals into . car, and the fact that
once in . great while an overloaded
car will 60 through without serious
nishap seems to urge the shipper on
to tempt fate just once more. The
wise shipper, however. will have moth
ing to do with this false economy, say
specialists Of the department. He
will lay down a hard and fast rule ia
toad only as many animals in the cal
as can ride comfortably, and from
this rule he will not deviate.
The chances Of loss through over
loading are greater in warm weather
than in cold. Temperatures may b
such at the time Of loading that thu
animals are fairly comfortable, but be

Where There 10 One Breed In Com
munity Il 10 Easier 70 Dispose Of
the Surplus Stock.
A market Is established which, be-
cause Of the availability Of large num-
bers of animals, attracts those who buy
large cOnsignments. Under such cir
cumstances all surplus stock may be
disposed Of to better advantage, and
cooperative advertising also may be
used effectively. In addition, bulls
may be bought comparatively or ex-
changed with facility, thus very mate
rally reducing the cost Of service in
the herd.
Any necessary additions to the herd
can be obtained, without expense for
travel, from neighbors' herds with
whose history the buyer Is thoroughly
familiar. These advantages apply not
only to the breeder of purebred cattle.
but also to the owners of grades.
In this country there is a very wide
range OF conditions. as to both to-
Biography and climate. On rich, level
pastures all breeds thrive, but on
rough. hilly land, where pasturage Is
scant, they do not show equal adapt
ability. In the extreme cold of the
North. with Its long winters. different
resisting qualities are needed as COM
pared with the almost tropical heat In
the southern parts Of the country.
In the United States four breeds Of
dairy cattle have attained consider

sey. These breeds have been devel.

consequence each transmits its char
acteristics with regularity to its off,

but all possess ability as milk pro-
ducers. There is, Of course, consider
| able variation In the characteristics
Of individuals within each breed.

LIQUID MANURE IS HELPFUL

American farmers, generally, are

ticular vegetable Is not showing the

weak and standing still. an applica.

few weeks will work changes that
will seem almost miraculous. LiQuiA

for It supplies nutrition In an easily
assimilated form. It may be easily
provided. and should be provided for

CHOOSING BREED OF CATTLE
Market for Dairy Products, Climatic
and Other Conditions Have
Important Bearing.

prepared by the United States DEPART.
ment Of Agriculture.)
In selecting the breed of dairy cat
tie suited for his particular locality,
the farmer should give close consid-
GRAFTON Of two sources Of income from
this kind of stock, say specialists Of
the bureau of animal industry, United
States Department Of Agriculture. Ono
part of the income Is represented by
the sale Of products, either milk or
butterfat; and the other comes from
the sale Of surplus stock. Often the
latter may amount to considerable
sum, even. though the herd is COM
posed Of grade animals.
Another point that he should bear In
mind Is that no single breed is alto
eether superior to all others; It may
excel in certain features, but not In
all. It Is best, therefore, to select the
breed which comes the nearest to
meeting the necessary conditions.
Most Of the milk sold In towns and
cities is subject to certain requirements
as to quality, among which are stand
ards for the butter fat and milk solids.
For much milk, payment is based up
on quantity by weight, without special
reference to any butter-fat content
above the legal standard. Local re-
quirements differ greatly as to the
content Of butter fat and solids.
Consumers, as a rule, much prefer
milk of a deep, rich color, which US
ually Is considered to be an indication
Of a large cream content. A distinct
and deep cream line in the milk bot
tie Is another feature by which the
quality Of milk is Judged. Although
generally the consumer does not want
to pay more for a better quality Of
product, occasionally it is possible to
create q demand for rich milk at q
higher price.
Very often the benefits Of co-opera-
tive effort are lost through the exer-
else Of an Unborn spirit of independ-
ence. Consequently. it frequently hap
pens that In the selection Of breed
no consideration is given to the fact
that another breed already may b
established In the locality. The pre-
dominance Of a certain breed In .
community offers many advantages.

The cows on test gave from $4,000
to 10000 pounds Of milk In the year ;
that Ia, three to four times as much
as most Of the cows in the general
herd. A part Of this larger yield is
due to the fact that the test cows
were better bred, but part also Is
due to the larger quantity Of feed they
consumed, soy specialists Of the United

increased milk yield to attribute to
each Of these factors is a question Of

that stock cars frequently stand in
