Judge Was Likely Dead Right When He Told the Elderly Lady About His Gown. The Judges of the Marlon county courts recently adopted and published rules relating to formal openings of court sessions, requiring all persons In the courtroom nt the time to stand. This and the other requirements are designed to Insure dignity and decorum. An elderly woman employed at the courthouse accosted one of the Judges in the corridors of the building and complimented the bench on Its attitude In conducting court. "In fact, judge," she added, "I think nil of you Judges ought to do like some of the big Kastern courts and wear gowns." Without batting an eye the Judge replied: "I do wear a gown about onethird of the time." "Why, I never saw you In one," the woman said. And you never will," gravely answered his honor as lie proceeded to Ifls courtroom, chuckling to himself. Indianapolis News.

Question of Time. 'Public schools are democratic places," said a prominent educator at n banquet the other night; "surprisingly so at times. The daughter of a veteran prison warden was having an argument with one of her schoolmates. "Tin not going to piny with you any more,' said the warden's daughter; your father Is no good.' 'He's better than yours!' came back from the other child. 'He is not!' "lie Is. too! Your father has been In the prison for ton years and my father's onlv In for six inonOis!' "

Spectacled Bear Rare. A mounted spectacled bear" from Venezuela has been placed on- exhibition In the American Museum of Natural History in New York city. The animal doesn't really wear spectacles. It derives Its name from the grayish white markings rimming the eyes. It is one of the rarest species of bears known to exist' and the only bear found In South America.

Ariol of Tahiti Look Upon Attempt of One of Their Order to Raise Child as Sin. Lovers of laughter, song, music, flowers and birds, the Ariol of Tahiti klfled their own children at birth, and looked upon the attempt of n membei of their order to rear a child as h sin. While religious causes were given for this by the leaders and, no doubt, believed In, the real cause, Frederick O'Brien tells in the Century, was a natural one whereby the species, to prevent over-population of the South sea Island, destroyed its own. With perfect health and no enemies, the Island would soon have had a i.ard time finding food. The Ariol were wandering minstrels, actors, priests and wonder workers to which belonged both men and women. The natives of Tahiti wlio have escaped the blight of civilization are living proofs that at one time the race was one of the most beautiful In the world's history, while Investigators declare that arts and civilization were brought to a high plane hundreds of years ago.

Big Job for One Hen. An American agriculturist visiting in England was telling tall tales of big broods of chickens. Twenty chickens from twelve eggs appeared to be an everyday occurrence In the States, if the stories he told were true. "Happen you never see so many ns a hundred hatched by one hen nt a setting?" asked a Suffolk man across the table. The American had never seen such n brood as that. "Well, then, I have, mister," returned the other. "Down Ipswich way we always fill a barrel with eggs and set the old hen on tho bunghole."

There might be such things as "voiceless yearnlngs'-'hut women seldom have them.

Negligible Quantity. "If we plant a bomb In this crowded thoroughfare wo may kill some of our own sympathizers," said the first anarchist. "Fear not," answered the leader of the Heils. "We haven't enough actual sympathizers in the whole world to make such a chance worth considering."

PRODUCTION OF CATTLE IN WEST

Investigations Conducted in Ne braska Show Wide Variation in Figures.

FEEDING PERILOUS VENTURE

Buying Right and Selling Right Are . Controlling Factors Some Farmers Carried Animals Through With Profit. According to cost of production Investigations conducted by the United States department of agriculture in co-operation with the University of Nebraska In parts of Nebraska during the past two years, the average cost of corn-fed. cattle laid down at market was $14.91 per hundredweight for fiead fed in the winter of 191S19, ?S for 3,041 cattle i'l a survey study during the winter 'of 1919-20, and an average of $13.39 for an additional 795 cattle upon which detailed cost figures were secured during the same winter. The costs upon some droves were found to vary widely from these average figures, with the major portion going to market the first winter (101S-19) carrying an expense hill of from $13 to $1S a hundredweight, while in 1919-20 the costs of most of tlio cattle were between $11 and $17. The facts thus far brought out by the investigation would indicate-that during the past two years, in the district covered by the survey, cattle feeding was a precarious venfurc, more likely to be unprofitable than not. There was an average loss per head of $3.17 on the cattle for which records were obtained In 191S-19. amWf $10.09 and $14.57 on two groups for which records were obtained in 1919-20. These figures arc the results of the first two years work of a five-year study of the basic factors of the cost of fattening cattle, which Is being conducted in Nebraska by the office of farm management and farm econom-

SHRINKAGE OF GOOD HAY DOES NO INJURY

Loss of Water Does Not Affect Feeding Value.

Shrinkage occurring In good market hay Is due almost entirely to a loss of water, which has no feeding value, say specialists of the United States bureau of markets. Such shrinkage seldom

Similar studies are being conducted In Iowa, Missouri, Illinois and Indiana, and preliminary reports on the work In these states will be forthcoming shortly. Feeding Plays Minor Part. The greater part of the Nebraska cattle covered In the survey work of 101S-1I) made their gains at a cost of from L'O to rents per pound, with extremes ranging from Y2 to 4S cents, while of the rattle covered tho next year the greater part made their gains nt from l.r to l7t rents per pound, with an extreme range of from 8 to rU cents. While economical feeding Is shown to be the major factor In the cost of fattening after the steer Is bought, the Investigation substantiates the fact that feeding usually plays a minor part In determining profit or loss, ami that buying right and selling right are more often the controlling factors. The cattle In question were bought at about the same figures In both years of the Investigation. In 191S-10 three of the droves were bought at between $0 and $7, but most of the cattle covered In tho study went Into the lot at between $$ and $12. Of the 21 droves covered by the detailed cost-accounting method. 11 cost between $10 and $11. The weight of the feeders varied rather widely, averaging about 7.10 pounds with but few over 1,000 pounds

! or under f00.

Feed, the most Important factor of the cost of fattening the steer after purchase, was found to constitute from 7f to 90 per cent of all the expense Involved in handling the .steers after being put on feed. Wide Variation In Cost Factors. The wide variation In the factors affecting cost was reflected In equally wide variation in tho total cost of tho finished cattle. During both of the years of the study tho cost of the cattle covered In the surveys ranged from about $S to $22 per hundred fattened, the average for 1018-10 being $14.91, and for 1919-20, $;ji.S3. The droves covered by the cost-accounting method showed a much narrower range, from

$10 to $1S with an average of $KW9. j

The financial return varied widely, ranging from $.".0 profit or more per head, reported for 40 head In 1018-19, to $"0 or more per head loss, reported for l.r."i head in 101S-10 and for over 200 head In 1919-20. As has been .stated above, on the average there was a loss incurred In handling cattle each year, reaching $1-1 ..17 per head as the average loss of the 79Ö rattle on the detailed route In 1919-20. However, a iiuuiIht of farmers carried their cattle through with profit.

Loss of Water Causes Shrinkage in Weight of Hay, but Docs Not Injure Feeding Value. causes an actual money loss to the farmer, because any loss in weight In haled hay is home by the shipper, who usually receives the hay ns soon as It is haled. If the shipper stores baled hay for speculation, there often will he a money loss caused by- shrinkage, because he has purchased an excess amount of water. There is practically no loss of dry matter In market hay that has. been properly cured. Proper curing is Indicated by a bright, natural green color. Improperly cured hay may lose dry matter, but such liny Is not in demand in any of the terminal markets. The water content of hay at different periods of curing and storage, methods of making hay to prevent excessive shrinkage In storage, methods of determining shrinkage on individual farms, and other general shrinkage information of interest to all agencies engaged In the production and marketing of market hay is given in a publication soon to be issued by the department of agriculture.

MARKETING SHEEP AND HOGS

Figures Furnished by Department of Agriculture Show Cost of Loading, Feeding, Etc.

Of .14 carloads of sheep. Including 11 single-deck and 4.'i double-dock cars, the cost of loading and bedding cars average $0.010 per 100 pounds live weight, according to figures furnished the general trade commission by the United States department of agriculture. Other marketing expenses. Including freight, varied from $0.2:50 to $1.07 per hundredweight. Tho shrinkage In weight varied from to S..r)7 per cent, the majority of the shipments averaging approximately 8 per cent. Similar records on 'J."3 carloads of hogs showed the cost of loading and bedding to average l.H cents per 100 pounds live weight; feed at market approximately 8 to 0 cents; commission charges, 1 to 10 cents; miscellaneous expense, 2 to 10 cents, averaging approximately fi cents; and the total cost of marketing Including freight from varying districts approximately from 'X to r0 cents. The shrinkage In weight on S7.' carloads of hogs varied from to minus 4.fi9 per cent.

LATE MOLTERS ARE FAVORED

Hens That Undergo Transformation During July and August Are Not Best Layers.

It has beon observed that the best layers usually molt during the latter part of September or the months of October, November and December. Hens that molt during .Tuhf and August are not the profitable hens, as they rest for three or four months while they giow their new feathers and will not start In laying until the following February or March. These hens are not the kind to use either in the breeding pen or the laying pen. In some cases, the, early hatched pullets of the year previous will start molting during June, and a little Judgment should be exercised In such cases. A check should be made with other tests.
