so-ca1ed feeder farms which stand between
the range and the stockyard.
The Fall sees the speeding up of the ship
ment of cattle and calves to stockyards, but all
the stock shipped does not reach the yards, for
at least 20 per cent of the animals are found
to be too thin for favorable prices and too shy
on fat to make the attractive cuts that the
housewife desires when she goes to market. This
fact has brought about a fourishing business
that of livestock feeder.
With harvesting out of the way and the
work in the various other farm activities re-
duced to Winter maintenance, many stockmen
and farmers find themselves with considerable
quantities of hay wheat corn rye, corn stover
and other feeds hand They may find that
1t would be more profitable to send this feed
to market in the form of meat than as grain
Many of them may be general farmers who like
stock feeding in Winter a sideline for cash
return when their other activities at a low
ebb The latter class may feed from one to
five or six carloads of stock which have reached
market time in a condition not suitable for inn
mediate slaughter. They often find in their
fields corn stubble or late grass which is suit
able for grazing and they like to turn this
waste into cash.
The feeders usually look to the great ranges
Of the West and Southwest for their stock and
the great distance and the shipping problems
bring about generally unsatisfactory conditions,
resulting in highly expensive practices greatly
increasing the ultimate cost of the meat
One of the chief problems confronting the
feeder according to the Department of Agri-
culture, is TO get just the age, weight and grade
of cattle which he wants. The usual practice
is for number of feeders to pool their inter-
ests and send buyer TO the ranges to pur-
chase just the type of animal desired This,
however, does not always work out as desired
because of a difference in Interpretation of
terms and so on. To overcome this difficulty
some OF the feeders go to the ranges themselves
In order to do their selecting. This of
course, takes considerable time and money
with the result that costs go up.
Many not desiring to join pool nor yet to
go personally to the ranges buy at a public
market with results none too satisfactory

When this hand was played in a rubber game
in Washington recently, West started with a
heart and set the stage for some brilliant bids
ding in the North by A. Philip Stockvis, a truly
talented player. He at once called two hearts,
the modern way of guarding against psychic
bids of void suits by the opponents. After
Easts pass South called two spades, West three
diamonds, Mr.. Stockvis four clubs East pass
South four spades. After West passed again
Mr.. Stockvs bid five no trump to signal slam
likelihood and first-round control of the oppo-
nents' two suits South took it to six clubs and
Mr.. Stockvis now surprised with his sHXa.to
six spades, having enough support for a rebd
suit. Certain, by inference, from Vests bid-
ding OF the two red SUITS that the latter couldn't
possibly have the spade king and that, there's
fore, his partner had it, South went to seven
spades
The hand was pretty to play, after the king
of hearts lead The ace took it, South discard~
ing diamond. Next trumps were led twice.
then came effort to ruff up" the fifth heart.
If it happened that West had only four Afte9
each heart lead to closed hands trumps, club
was used for re-entry into dummy. When
this failed the jack of clubs was played and
then South's last trump. At that juncture West
was squeezed. He had left the queen of hears3
and the king-queen of diamonds dummy holds
ing the heart nine and the diamond ace-ters
Whatever West discarded, dummy would dis
card from the other suit and thus be sure of
the last two tricks, when South led diamond
to the ace. That made it o pretty deep squeeze
to a nine and ten spot

North bid too spades, South three hearts,
North three diamonds. West commented On
sufficient bid; the bad is four diamonds, and
South cannot bid again" Was he correct? West
then added: And since, OF course, neither my
partner 1oiH bid, North must play this at
toar diamonds" is there a penalty tor that
statement?
West was not correct when he said the final
bid was four diamonds. North had the priv
nege of making his bid sufficient in any suit
or trump, bidding as high as he might
wish, SO long as it was an overbid of the three
hearts He was right TO the extent that the
partner of the offender was barred from any
further bidding. AS TO his second statement
about neither himself nor his partner bidding
that can be construed as giving information
about his hand to his partner. The only pen
atty for that is that his partner is barred from
any further participation in the contracting.
which as it happens is probably in effect no
penalty at all in this case.

sary, such as three spades over partners origi-
nal one diamond would be more Or less of q
weakness bid with most advanced players indi-
eating hand useless except at spades and en-
deaVoring to shut out bid from the next op-
ponent If the bid of one more than necessary
is in no trump such as two no trump over part
ner's original one heart, it is not a game-de-
mand take out
The new system is in line with older ones in
the way this bid operates, except that 1t pre-
sents the matter in more exact form In all
systems game-demand take-out shows at least
a certain amount of high-card strength as well
as bidable suit in the suit called.
With the tables provided by the new system
which count as high three tricks in a single
suit, total of three and half high-card
tricks is required minimum for the game
demand take-out.
Regardless of what valuation method is used
the message conveyed is that the side holds
enough high-card strength to make game vir-
tually certain at some declaration; the oppo-
nents cannot take more than about three tricks
with the high cards in their possession: such
being the case, the side should be able to find
some declaration fitting the two hands well
enough SO that the opponents probably can
take only their few high-card tricks
After game-demand take-out the prefer
ential order of responses in the new system Is
as follows:
1. Name new biddable suit if possible.
2. Rebid strong major Of five or more cards.
3. Raise major suit take-out with adequate
support; with neutral support if no other re-
sponse is possible.
4. Rebid strong minor of five or more cards.
5. Support minor with adequate support;
neutral if nothing else possible.
6. If unable to comply with any of the above,
bid minimum number of no trumps
The main idea is that the response is never
a pass. In fact, both must keep going on until
at least game is reached sometimes still farther
to slam

Against no trump contract West led the
three OF diamonds North played the deuce
East the king and South the ace. Consider
ing the three fourth best and seeing the deuce
IN dummy, West is counted for four diamonds;
they are headed by the queen, for if East had
the queen he would not have played the king.
Next came two club tricks, on the second of
which East discarded diamond showing he
had Just one club and West four, headed by
the jack; to continue clubs meant to establish
that jack.
