KEEP PRODUCERS INFORMED
Farmers Advised to Study Market Re

Prepared by the U. 8. Department Of
Agriculture.l
How Gun 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 Gun conduct his breed
ing, feeding and marketing operations
little more intelligently in the fu-
ture, and therefore more protitably
than in the past.
Market reports are history, and the
chief value of history is the basis
which 1t 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 one covering short period Of time.
Markets move in cycles, and the man
who would keep Informed must follow
them diligently in season and out
This is matter of particular impor-
taBce to the stockman, because his
business is, to an unusual 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 this?
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 un-
usually heavy for any considerable
time, it may indicate 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 to the country as stockers and
feeders. If such movements were ex
ceptionally light. 1t 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 long way
toward neutralizing the Importance Of

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
JACK.

vxYHILE this name Is, Of
w course, the diminuttve OF
John-or. rather, the Angliclsed
form of the French Jacques

ber Of ways which apparently
have no connection with the
name. Among these may be men
toned oot-jack, iack-knife. lum-
ber-jack, k-jack, Union Jack
and jnck-tar.
The reason for this usage Is
because the proper name or
nickname, Jack" has Tor many
years past been applied in Eng
land to servants or laborers as
! "a class. Jack is a handy and
easy name for a waiter or q
caddy, or a groom. much as many
Americans apply the name
George to any negro porter. For
this reason, many appliances
which are subject to rough usage
or which perform the tasks Of
laborer are known by the
prefix "jack," with noun which,
designates the use to which they
are put. The expression Jack
Of all trades" is another ex--
emplification Of the same usage,
while the substitution Of the
name Jack" for the "knave" in

Of the hard usage which this gen.

WHAT A MAN READS.

G OMEONE has said that Charles e.
- Hughes, the secretary of state, did
not read novels or verse while he was
ut the university, and that he was so
absorbed in science as to miss all the
poetry and romance Of college life.
To disprove this statement the H.
brarian Of the John Hay library at
the recent commencement Of Brown
university showed In a glass case the
very books that Mr.. Hughes had taken
out. They included the regular novel;
lists that everybody is supposed to
read, and such poets as Tennyson and
Longfellow.
Variety in reading is just as neces-
sary as variety in food.
Some good people did not under
stand this when they objected to now

waste 0f time. VI
A celebrated man Of science Of the
latter part Of the Nineteenth century
used to find himself losing interest in
his work every now and then. When
this took place he would shut himself
up with great supply Of dime novels
and read nothing else for week. Then
he would go back to his laboratory as
fresh as ever.
On the other hand, certain French

Charles Darwin as he grew older

recreation in novels with good lively
plots that held his attention.
