1 Why? I

Many persons wonder why they have to pay 40 or 50 cents, or more, for the beef they buy when live cattle are only 10 or 15 cents a pound. In the first plkce, wo average only about V2 pound of meat from the pound of steer for which we pay 10 or 15 cents. Only part of the other half consists of such by-products as hides, oleo oil, tallow, etc. the remainder is waste. And the return from by-products just now is very small. Hides and fats as well as many other itenjs are down to prewar prices. In the second place, there are not many pounds of the kind of meat for which you pay 40 or 50 cents, or more, in the entire animal. Sometimes the retailer has to sell a lot of the 'meat he buys for about what he pays for it, because you and your neighbors pass by certain cuts and insist upon the other choicer cuts, such as steaks, eta Necessarily, he must get enough for these choicer cuts to make up for what he loses on the less popular ones, such as soup meat, etc. The difference between the final retail price of the finished meat product and the first cost Of the live steer is less than it is for most farm products.

If the foregoing raises any question In the mind of the reader, we will endeavor to answer it, upon request.
