PLAN TO MARKET LIVE STOCK
Study of Costs and Methods Being
Made by United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.

The United States Department of
Agriculture is making study of the
costs and methods of marketing live
stock, beginning at country points. The
work is to be done mainly in number
of selected areas in important live
stock sections Of the country. The plan
is to select areas, usually consisting Of
several counties, and to study care
fully the costs and methods of as many
of the existing agencies in each area
as can furnish any satisfactory in
formation. The study will include
mainly country buyers, local shipping
associations, local elevators handling
live stock, and independent shippers.
In several instances the work is being
done in cooperation with the states.
A number of men from the department
are now in the field collecting data on
the subject.

ly, Benny at my heels. The passage
turned sharply, and for little way
we walked in blackness. Then it
veered again, and faint and far-off
light seemed to filter it's way to US
through web woven of the very stuff
Of night. The floor sloped little
downward. 1 felt my way with my
feet, and came to step-another. /
was going along a descending passage,
cut at it's steepest into rough, irregu-
lar stairs. With either hand I could
touch the walls, All the while the
light grew clearer. Presently, by an
other sharp turn, found myself in a
cave, some thirty feet in depth by
eighteen across, with an opening on
the narrow strip of beach / had seen
from the top of the cliffs.
''The roof is high, with an effect Of
Gothic arches. Near the mouth is a
tiny spring Of ice-cold water, which
has worn a clean rock channel for
itself to the sea. Otherwise the cave
is perfectly dry. There is no doubt
in my mind that in the great buc
caneering days of the Seventeenth
century, and probably much later, the
place was the haunt of pirates. One
fancies that Captain Sampson of the
Bonny Lass raay have known Of it be-
fore he brought the treasure to the
island. There were queer folk to be
met with in those days in the west
ern ocean. Yes, the cave has seen
many a ferte, sea-tanned face and
tarry pigtail, and echoed to strange
oaths and wild sea-songs. Men had
carved those steps in the passage
thirty-two Of them. In the sand Of
the floor, as I kicked it up with my
feet, hoping rather childishly to strike
the corner Of the chest, found the
hilt and part of the blade of a rusty
