( Costs of marketing hogs U> the central corn belt show extremely wide variations in both home and terminal' markets. An analysis has been made by the United States DepaHment of Agriculture of shipments by 200 cooperative associations in 1921. It discloses such extreme differences la unit costs that averages appear of little Value as representations of marketing expense. In discussing marketing costs, evidently the first requirement Is to know whose cost you are talking about. The department's study Indicates, for example, that between the local expense of the association with the lowest cost and that of the association with the highest there was a spread of nearly 1,000 per cent Cost per 1,000 pounds shipped was about 80 cents for the association With the lowest cost. For the association with the highest cost It was about $3. It la said, however, that the local costs of the different associations covered 'Buch a diversity of functions that "management" was practically the oaly item common to them alL Units of Marketing Expense. In a general way local marketing expense is held to include the local _ manager's commission, assessments' for sinking fund, car preparation coats, and miscellaneous expenses. Losses arising from the crippling and killing of stock in transit are usually Included. Shrinkage in weight is not included, and represents a loss which falls upon the original shipper. Excluding, freight, the department finds that hog marketing by co-operative as^ sociations in the corn belt through commission agents in the central markets during 1921 cost about $2.80 per thousand pounds. About one-third of this amount was home expense, and the rest terminal market expense. It is remarked that average costs at thfe different terminal markets are as apt to be misleading, though in a lesser degree, as average home costs for the different shipping associations. Average terminal cost for all associations and all markets, for example, was $1.90 per 1,000 pounds. But the variation between terminal markets was from $1.59 to $2.23. The association with the loweat average terminal costs paid $1.32 per 1,000 pounds, while the association with the highest paid $2.6*. These figures are averages of associations shipping to the various markets, weighted on the volume of business. The low and 4ilgh figures are therefore low and high cost associations and not shipments. As the services performed at the terminals varied considerably, the spreads do not measure proportionate differences la salt cM& Commission Costs Vary. Thus commission costs varied from 48 cents to $1.10 cents per 1,000 pounds. Bat commission to usually charged on a per car basi% Variations in commission costs ire probably due principally to differences In ear load weights, rather than to variations In commission charges. Aa association whose commission costs are high probably has been unable for various reasons to ship full ear loads. Similarly, variations in yardage costs may result from variations In the sl*e of the animals. Variations In feed costs may be due to variations In animal weights and to some extent. In the price of feed. Nevertheless, when all due allowance is made for such causes of cost variation, the difference between assoclatioa costs is •till marked. Further Investigations are being made by the department Into the causes of this variation in shipping costs. It Is Indicated, by the progress so far made, that the real differences in home station expense are considerably less than the apparent differences. Diversity In accounting methods furnishes the explanation of a considerable part of the spread. Some shipping associations do not handle live stock exclusively, but are Interested in numerous side lines, and elements of cost entering Into the handling of the side lines have often been included In statements on the live stock end of the business. Then, too, there are cases In which expenditures for good will, such as dinners, and what might be termed development outlay, have enlarged the total. Investigator* for the department are attempting a comparison of shipping costs from strictly comparable Items of expense reported by the ^.different associations. It 1s beiievedthls comparison will show that variations In actual shipping efficiency, and in general business management, are not very great. Heavier Loading Recommended. In view of the wide differences in commission costs reported by the aasociations,' department officials think p important savings could be effected by heavier car loading. The high cost association In 1921 had an outlay for commission charges amounting to more than twice that of the low cq»t association. Probably a great part Of this variation was due to a difference in car load weights, rather than to differences In rates or in services performed at the various markets. It Is suggested that economies effected by full loading might more than compensate for any additional loss due to crowding, and would give an added advantage in reducing unit freight costs. Losses from crippling and killing hogs In transit, nnder present practices, are paid by the local shipping office and Included In Its marketing costs. Probably differences In losses from this cause should be considered when making comparisons of shipping costs; but the department has not been able as yet precisely to determine the factors making for variability In loss ratios. It has established, however, that loss from crippling is greater In mixed shipments than in shipments containing only hogs; that the loss is greater In winter than In summer; and that the percentage of hogs crippled Is twice the' percentage killed. Though seasonal variation in the number of bogs killed is not as great as In the case of hogs crippled, there Is, nevertheless, an appreciably larger death loss in the spring than in other seasons, perhaps In consequence of sadden changes of temperature. Officials of the department are pressing forward their study of the whole subject in the hope that It will throw light on the causes of strikingly wide variation in live stock marketing costs which has been shown to exist. Ti*ey believe that diversity In the accounting methods and In the form of shipping associations, and differences In the amount of service received at terminal markets, account for a substantial part of the spread, but leave much of It unexplained. It Is expected further investigation will reveal elements of cost which. In many cases, might be eliminated or greatly reduced, and will Indicate the direction in which the best prospect of Improvement Is to be found for the entire live stock shipping Industry.

In fact they are difficult to handle even if they appear only in patches because of their underground rootstocks which are capable of growing and sending out new plants under the most adverse conditions. On farms where these' weeds have just barely gotten a foothold, an efTort should be made to get rid of them Immediately, otherwiaa they become a menace to crop production.

Having Locks Throiigl*, . ?, *r<*; out the House. 1 p '•" • _ * It lias long been a question with architects why people should huve doors throughout the house so completely equipped with locks. Why. for example, should all the closet und bedroom doors have locks? Did you ever lock your bedroom door? Probably not. It may be desirable to put locks on closet doors. Do not put a lock on a door Just because it is a door. Perhaps, after all, you will never lock it. At any event, a bolt or a thumb turn will ser^e all the purposes of a lock and you will not have a key to look after. However, It should be said that a mortised latch will usually cost more than a bit key lock. Of course. If you have a small boy in the house you will want a lock on the pantry door. Some people have thought It desirable to have one closet in the house equipped with a good cylinder lock. Such a closet may come in very handy at certain times, perhaps if for nothing else than as a space in which to store the fsirnily skeleton.

ODD SENTENCE FOB THIEF May Yield as Much or More ; Than Grain Crop. TlW versatile soy been not only can substitute for hay and silage, but has also been found, when allowed to ripen, to be a good substitute for oats. While the experiments so far made may not be conclusive, the college of agriculture at Ithaca Is of the opinion that soy beans are likely to yield as many pounds to the ncre as oats, and frequently even more. The fact that soy beans make a good substitute for oil meal in dairy rations la another reason that dairymen particularly are becoming interested in their production. Soil which has been put in condition favorable to corn should produce a good crop of soy beans. Like other legumes, they can use a large amount at add phosphate. Unlike many legumes, however, they are not very sensitive to our soil and will frequently grow well where clover Is a failure. If soy beans have never previously been grown, the seed should be inoculated. On clean land they may be planted solid with tne grain drill at the rate of a bushel and a half of seed to the acre. The college recommends, •"V MtjtlAj'l: how< ver, sowing them In rows 2t inches apart, at the rate of 20 quart* of seed to the acre, in order to make cultivation possible. Soy beans are usually harvested like other beans. If not allowed to get too ripe, however, they may be cut with the grain binder. World Hog Production Shows L^rge Decrease Numbers of swine In the principal producing countries of the world are estimated at 227,431.000 head by the United States Department of Agriculture, compared with 263.S44,00>> head for a representative prewar year. This la a decrease of 36,413,000 head or 14 per cent. Tbe United States showa the largest increase in production. There were 63,424.000 hogs on farms on January 1. 1923, compared with 58.933,000 hogs on farms on January 1. 1914. Smaller increases are Indicated for Argentina and Canada. The number of swine la most of the European countries was less in the recent estimates than during tbe prewar period, the department states. Some of the countries showing^ decreases in numbers are France, Germany and Denmark.
