GET SOKE— STOCKERS ABE DO
IN6 NICELY
Strong Indication of a lasting Im-
provement were dlscernable In the
cattle divisions the past week It
was a blanket elevation of prices
steers she stock Stockers and calves
being worth more money than last
week Packers were in a bad mood
because they failed to make even a
dent In the stack for orders Fewer
low grade grassers were offered the-
bulk of the steer run consisting of
60 to 1150 lb cattle and fat which
sold 46250686 while odd lots of
1420 lbs sold up to $825 Normal
receipts at leading markets helped
steady the trade from the start and
the dominant note was scarcity of
ripe beef cattle Forecasters are
again lugging out the many reasons
why a $11 steer trade is uot distant
but they say nothing of how the les-
ser grades than choice will Bell That
the price list is due for a re-adjustment
is certain as packers note the
writing on the wall that unless there
is something stirring that will en-
courage putting up feeders tor the
finishing process a decidedly scant
pickng is assured them the next six
months Few droves of well-finished
steers are arriving and feeders are
taking little interest refusing to rUk
the high prices asked tor the rough
material pending a definite change in
prevailing schedules on the completed
product
Good Action Here—
There was a noticeable demand for
speed during the week’s cattle trade
packers this time proving good pace-
makers They were not fazed by re-
quests for high rates and quick sales

week ago an advance of a dime ap-
plied to all classes of Bteers pla n to

the wool fly when speculators city
butchers and packers scrambled for
their share Mixed loads sold at old
time speed anything with a little tal-
low being a good shipping cow or a

THE BEEF SITUATION
War Has Increased Meat Consump-
tion in Euroie end Also Curtailed
Breeding Operations— Domes-
tic 1'oudltions Improve
The Farmer and Breeder has made
a careful analysia of the beef sltua-
tloh judged from an international an-
gle which we reprint herewith in
full
We are receiving many letters ask-
ing for Information as to probable
beef prices during the coming winter
season Feeding cattle are very high
in price and feeders are in doubt as
to whether to feed the usual number
of cattle thlB year or not supposing
of course that a fair crop of corn ip
obtaned
In reply to these Inquiries and oth-
ers who are interested we shall not
attempt to forecast tho market for the
good and sufficient reason that we
are unable to do eo It 1b possible
however that some of our readers
may not fully appreciate certain ex-
isting conditions which are out of
the-ordluary and which ere bound to
greatly augment the demand for beet
One of these conditions is a result
of the European war The European
cats more meat as a Boldier than he
does as a privato citizen The French
soldier at the front for example re-
ceives 500 graniB or 17 ounces of
meat a day and the soldier at the
rear 400 grams or 14 ounces a day
Tills practically means one pound of
meat a day for every soldier or the
consumption of between 5000 and
6000 beeves a day by the French
army alone so long as the' war lasts
In times of peace that amount of beef
s said to be almost enough to supply
the whole of France In other words
tlie consumption of beef in France
alone is 80 per cent greater during
the period of JroBtlllties than in nor-
mal times
Assuming that Russia can feed her-
self and that Germany and Austria-
Hungary to a large extent will be
obliged to do Ikewise England and
Italy are still to be taken care of
Both ere heavy beef importing coun-
tries Italy estimates that she will
need 500000 head of cattle per year
to feed her armies and there is no
question but that Great Britain will
need cIobo to double the usual amount
of beef to feed her soldiers and clvtl
populaton European war needs are
acute and meat must be had regard -lies
of prlco A soldier can not fight
on an empty stomach
The British government took pos-
session of the entire supply of sur-
plus Australian beef and mutton a
long time ago and is absorbing every-
thing available in Argentina and oth-
er South American countres The
Australian supply of beef and mutton
lias unfortunately been very much
crippled this year owing to a severe
drouth that burned up the pastures
during the past few montliB and mil-
lions of cattle and etill more millions
of sheep have starved to death espe-
cially in the southern part of the
country Most of the cattle and sheep
of Australia are being ra-sed on a
big scale by large operators who do
not provide feed for their stock to
tide over unfavorable seasons and
the result Is heavy Iosbcs when cli-
matic conditions go against them
That the British government real-
izes that there 1b e World scarcity of
beef and other meat animals is at-
tested by the fact that a btll has been
passed prohibiting the slaughter of
all calves except males of special-
purpose dairy breeds under a heavy
penalty up to $250 If any circum-
stances arises under which a calf
ought to be killed a special permit
must be obtaned from the govern-
ment before this can tie done The
law is a stringent one and will be en-
forced because it is deemed a neces-
sity in order to eo far as possible
conserve the native beet supply
While our exports of beef of meats
and meat products 'pf all kinds and
of livo cattle even have increased
greatly during the last year— the f ret
vear of the war— they will undoubted-
ly increase much more during the
next year because last year all the
nations at war drew upon their home
supplies and to such a dangerous ex-
tent that their producing herds have
been soriously orlppled France for
example has already taken steps to
protect her breeding herds against
rmv requisit one and Great Britain
Is practically doing the same thing
Sweden and Norway have exported
largo quantities of moat to Germany
during the past year till their surplus
of cattle seems to be completely ex-
hausted So acute Is the situation in
Sweden that retail dealers In that
country have petitioned the govern-
ment to forbid further exports Dur-
ing the first throe months of 1915
Sweden exported three times her us-
ual number of cattle and quantity of
dressed beef
PuH-ness conditions In our own
country arc gradually Improving
Arido from the tremendous activity
in the manufacture of munitions of
war new manufacturing Industries
ore also Rpringlng uo This situation
In summed up in tho following words
bv our own national Department of
rnmmcrce "The blow In the face
received by American Industries
ereat natural resources of the United
States an IndAce manufacturers and
through conditions brought about by
tho Euroncnn war has acted as a ton
ic has forced tho nation to create
new branches and enlarge the scope
of existing phases of manufacture
open the way to utilize on a vast seals
merchants to expand their markets
into (foreign fields with prospects of
permanent results"
With expansion along Industrial and
commercial linos (here necessarily
comes an increased demand for labor
better wages nnd resulting larger
consumption of food products Includ
ing moat Considering all these fac-
tors both foreign and domestic there
can be no doubt but that there will
he an unusually strong demand for
meat and meat products of all kinds
for the next eight or ten month! to
romn nnd tlie whole situation points
to years of prosperity for those en
gaged in the live etock Industry In
this aa well a In other countries

INTEREST OF MEAT
PACKERS IN THE LAND
league's headquarters at the Labor
Temple 14th street and 8econd ave-
1 — nue New York
Mr Chairman and Members of the What I wish to point out Is that
American Meat Packers’ Association: tiio success of such an organization
In attempting to interest you in a ' ? directly to the benefit of your ln-
dustry It le good business for you
subject seemingly foreign to the bus- t0 Bpport lt The retumBi whl)e
iness of this convention I offer as perlm'ps Indirect will undoubtedly be
an excuse that every activity has a
by-product and I think you may
place me in that category if you wish
The BUbject Is only seemingly for-
eign for 1 shall try and prove that in
reality It can properly be considered
by tlie members present as a portion
of their business with profit to them-
selves as well as the rest of the com-
munity - -
The first function of any business
organization is to make money The
next ts to make good and by “good”
I mean the good of humanity Our
country exists by means of credit and
credit the universal credit system in
part is your contribution to the com-
munity above what you are patd for
You first render a service you art
paid for in money and then a eer-
i ice for which you receive nd money
From the first you make money
from tiie second you make good
An Appeal to Selfish Interest
Ybur sclflBh interest is to turn the
attention of more people toward cul-
tivation of the land and to stimulate
the raising of food products and ani-
mals I find that to start with an appeal
to an organization’s selfish interest
will hold their attention when noth-
ing else drill end when I have a mat-
ter that I am confident Is for their
advantage 1 am pretty sure of con-
sideration So I put f rat in order
the fact that the meat-packing Indus-
try would be benefited by ha vine
more land taken up and more food
animals raised for consumption and
any activity that will aid In this re-
sult should and I think will receive
hrir careful attention
Before describing the organization
for aiding the movement which le
now termed “Forward-to-the-Lsnd"
I want to say a tew words as to how
and why you can make good ee well
as make money by fostering and as-
sisting this movement
Statistics which I do not wtBh to
ouoto prove how much fester the city
population Is Increasing than the land
dwellers end Mr J J Hill has many
times sent out warnings that unless
"ore people took up and tilled land
there awaits tor us catastrophe
‘‘111 fares the land to hastening ills
a pray
Where wealth accumulates and men
decay"
This is as true today as when Gold'
smith wrote it and It is likewise just
as true that the land fares 111 'whore
the concentration of population ill
cities in cultivation of large sparsely-populated
areas thereby reducing
the productiveness of agriculture in
'urge sections and steadily exhaust
ng our lands in a great part of the
United States
Waste is the curse of American civ-
il zatlon and In nothing does lt stand
out more boldly and it a Btupldity
show up more clearly than In the
"no item of distribution particularly
of labor
The '‘ForwRrd-lothe-IRnd” League
With thousands of farmers calling
for labor in the West end hundreds
of thousands In the East idle and des-
titute and knowing of nothing to do
and if they knew having no means of
transportation to the job with mil-
lions of sores of good land waiting
to be taken up and thousands of fam-
ilies competent and willing but lack-
ing the Information or the necessary
small eapltaT or both to go to and
take up the land it seems as If tbe
time was ripe for sn organization that
would act as a bureau of Information
would aid in intelligent colonization
would help Inaugurate rural credit
nnd assist in financing the homeBeek-
er nnd considering food as a public
utility interest Itself in markets bus-
iness methods price and through its
classes In rural economics study all
these subjects
Such an organization ts tbs “For-'
ward-to-the-Iand League" It does
not buv or sell land nor 1 It Inter-
anted In any particular tracts Its
function Is to bring together the man
Hie land and the money necessary to
finance smell Term ownership and
the organisation for successfully cur-
rying out the work bae been carefully
built uo end Is now in working order

far from Inconsiderable and I want
for a moment to dwell on tbe larger
side of this question
The Larger Hide of the Question
Men’ in many states are hungry
through lack of work Men who want
to go on to the land are to be found
tn the congested cities holding Jobs
they would abandon and go to farm-
ing thiiB releasing jobs for men who
are not fitted to work on the land
City congestion and unemployment
problems can be solved by proper
classification and direction end the
league is now doing thlB work
Now the reason why this "Forward-to-the-Land
League" should have
your sympnthv end support le because
any organization that le at all worth
while renders a service to the com-
munity when it can and 1 feel that
the support of the league 1b a service
to the community And I am sure
besides tlie far-sighted shrewd busi-
ness acumen among your members
there le also a generous large-hearted
kindly Interest In humanity that
will make Itself felt and I hope that
your interest In our league will be
manifested
I thank you — W J Hoggnon Hogg-

COST OF PORK PRODUCTION
Interesting data concerning the
cost of wintering brood bows and the
cost of growing end fattening plgi
are given by the Nebraska agricul-
tural experiment station
By using a large amount of alfalfa
hay with a limited amount of grain
the net cost of wintering old brood
sows Is kept at the low figure of
$125 each without allowing the sow
to become too thin tor the beet re-
sults In ralsliig litters - On a ration
containing from one-fourth to one-
third alfalfa hay young brood sows
aie carried from the pasture fields
to tho farrowing pens at a small prof-
it and in suitable condition for far-
rowing end raising fair litters
The average number of pigs per lit-
ter ra sod from old sows during a pe-
riod of four years was 6 55 at a cost
of $211 per pig weighing fifty pounds
The average number of pigs raised
by young brood sows during a like
period was 62 et a cost of 6168 per
pig weighing fifty pounds The fall
pig was grown to the weight of ffty
pounds as cheaply ns the spring pig
When grazing on alfalfa pasture
pies receiving 25 pounds of grain per
100 pounds of their weight dally have
gained 075 pound each day The rate
of gain on alfalfa pasture bore a close
t elation to the amount of grain fed
The most suitable supplementary
feed to corn tor fattening hogs seems
to depend on several variable factors
Oil meal cold pressed cottonseed
cake and tankage rank close together
in the profits secured in nearly all
tests In some tests these by-products
give faster gains and more profit than
corn end alfalfa and in other tests
the reverse is true The physical con-
dition of the hogs ss influenced by
weather and other factors seems to
determine whether alfalfa hay or suoh
a by-product as those just mentioned
le the moBt profitable to feed with
corn for fattening hogs
Ground wheat either soaked - or
moistened gives faster gains with less
grain tor 100 pounds of gain than
corn but corn gave faster gains with
loss grain for 100 pounds of gain than
whole wheat either soaked or dry
Soaking wheat Increases Us feeding
value only slightly but grinding the
wheat Increases its feeding value
about one-fifth
For growing pigs on alfalfa pas-
ture end fattening them when hav-
ing access to alfalfa bay a grain ra-
tlon of corn proved more efficient
than a grain ration of two parts corn
and one part shorts
’ Experiments In cooking alfalfa hay
for hogs Indicate that the feeding val-
uo of the alfalfa may have been ln
crossed slightly by the cooking but
not sufficiently to offset th extra
cost
The summary Indicates among oth-
er Items that with corn valued st 60c
per bushel 'the cost of feed alone for
producing a pound okpork Is about le

THEY ARE CLASSY
Some years ago men’s toggery was
not su pronounced tn style as It Is
today Men were not so exacting but
were satisfied to wear most anything
just so It looked respectable They
were not as particular as the fairer
sex who have waged constant war
for styles and lines that show chic
and are Inviting to the eye and to-
day out- ladles are better and more
stylishly dressed than ever before
The manufacturers of men’s wear
"have come to" and never In the his-
tory of style making ha the develop-
ment been more pronounced and
what a remarkable contrast To
give you an Idea of tho very latest
for fall and winter wear In men’s
pa rspliernslls— neckwear e o 1 1 r s

lounging robes and a hundred and

A steady to 6e higher baala today

touch to a week’s trade that was tho
most disastrous for the shipper in 1
over a decade Btartlng brisk Mon-

day and by Thursday eollapsad tbe -final
basis for the week being $1160
120 lower than the high spot which '
also was the best market In over a
year There were no ezceptlona to
the rule the terrtflo bombarding of
Thursday being widespread and van-
led only In severity It wee anywhere
from 75c to $100 lower at all mar-
keta The last similar wreck of swine
Prices occurred during the panlo in
1913 and at other tlmee of great
stress such as labor difficulties but
never in history has tho market taken
such a radical turn during times of
commercial progress and normal
trade conditions A year ago with
receipts at western market cut low
following a series of bad markets -trade
was just turning its nose the
other way on the weed-end then the '
top being $760 bulk $7000727
which was 25c higher than the iow
spot of that week

Its way clear at present to accept tho
proposals Including cession of Cyprus

material Influence upon the attitude
even of the Greek government It
also Is believed by observers here that
Greece cannot persist In her present
ambiguoue position and that public
opinion which is generally under-
stood to favor the entente allies prob-
ably will exercise Its Influence
