"To Annabel Brimstead. She's a

at him and promised to marry him

KEEP PRODUCERS INFORMED
Farmers Advised to Study Market Re-
ports In and Out of Season to
Keep Posted.

prepared by the u. S. Department of
Agricultural
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
little more intelligently in the flu
ture, and therefore more probably
than In the past.
Market reports are 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 one covering a 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-
lance to the stockman, because his
business is, to an unusual degree,
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 i'll
doing this?
First of all, he should take into ac
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 6S central
markets. If such movements are I'M
usually heavy for any considerable
time, it may indicate Il 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, 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 long way
Ladysmith news-budget. [volume] (Ladysmith, Rusk County, Wis.) 1907-1927, 1921-10-21

the heavy receipts, for the stockmen
would know that most of these cattle
going back to the country must he re-
turned to market during the next few
weeks or months and enter consump-
ton channels.
Having established in this fashion
a broad basis for his operations let
us assume the stOckman is feeding a
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
seems to be drifting steadily toward
lighter retail cuts of meat, or, because
of general business depression or some
other cause, is centering chiefly on
the lower and cheaper grades, he may
find 1t more profitable to market his
cattle at an earlier age and before
they have attained great weight
Abundant information along this
line win 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 is
based on the federal meat-inspection
reports of the bureau Of animal in.

by the bureau Of markets.

ROBBER TRAPPED WITH BOOTY
Treasure From Saints Shrine, Stolen
Last November, Recovered by
Clever Police Work.

The historic Thirteenth century
treasure of ST. Elizabeth OF Hungary,
which was stolen from the saints
shrine at Marburg last November, has
been recovered, according to the Ber-
lin correspondent of the LONDON
Times, after having been buried IN
the back garden of London suDur-
ban house.
The recovery Is due to the vigilance
Of the Frankfort police. Six men took
part in the robbery last November,
and five of them were arrested soon
after. There was, however, no sign
of the stolen treasury and the men
obstinately denied all knowledge OF
1t.
Eventually, the police got up to the
track of the sixth man. Emil keil-
man. 1t was found that in the mean
time he had been to London; he was
watched. however, and on his return
he was arrested. During his detention
the INQUIRIES Of the detective led the
police to believe that Kellman had
hidden the jewels in England. 1t was
assumed that if he were set free, ne
would probably get them. He was
therefore let out on bail; at the same
time he was kept under strict but
secret surveillance by the police. On
June Is Kellman went to London TO
fetch the Jewels and on his return
few days ago he was rearrested at
Cloves on the German Dutch from
tier. where he was taken red-handed
with the missing jewels and pearls,
174 in number, hidden in his clothes.
