YOUNGER , SN NOT GOOD NOT HERE ACTUAL PROFITS OF THE BEEF TRUST Not long ago Commissioner lar fielil of Hie department of commerce nii'l labor, made .1 report on the beef trust which, as published, allowed thai the prof in of that his combine of dealers in meat made a very small profit on their purchases and sales. it is now asserted that the report was only partial and that the full re port will make u different showing, and II is particularly stated, that in the trials of the beef trust, for which hundreds of witnesses have been sum moned, a very different showing will be made. .Meanwhile Cuthbert Powell, com mercial editor of the Kansas City Journal, lias published a statement showing the profits of the beef trust in detail. His Investigations show that the average net profit of the packers. Instead of 2 per cent on the price of the cattle is J7.41 per head, or l.r per cent on the price of cattle, and that this profit Is turned over every Ivo to four weeks 12 to 24 times a year. His details descriptive of the vari ous parts nt the "critter" which are converted into money by the big packers and mostly thrown away by small butchers, are interesting. Here are Ills carefully prepared figures: , Value per Weight, head pounds, cents.

The small offal and the fats yield the big houses a profit of J 7.82 per head which Is mostly lost by the little kill er. And when the value of the cured hide Is added the large packing com panics receive a gross Income from the side products of $15.14. Native steers on the hoof average 1205 pounds, and, dressing 58 per cent In killing, make 700 pounds of clear meat, were selling on this market at Ji.Tii per hundred weight, which would make their cost at the yard on the hoof $57.23. Taking from this the value of the offal, shown above be $15.14, and the cost of the net rcass to the packer is $42.09. Xow for this carcass, the same date packers were receiving an average of 7 cents per pound. This would give for the 700 pounds of meat $52.60 for the average. Killing the cost of which approximately is 50 cents per head, leaves $S2 net for the carcass. De ducing from this $42.09, the cost of the live animal after allowing $15.14 the value of the offal, and there re mains a gross profit to the packer of $:.91 per head. Hut there are the general expenses of the plant and extraordinary dis bursements to be accounted for, and $1.50 per head on cattle will allow for this, which is a very liberal esti mate. Still there remains $7.41 per head net profit to the packers. Applying the average profit of $7.41 on cattle, 20 cents on hogs, 60 cents on sheep and 50 cents on calves, to the total number of head killed in a year by the "combine" packing houses gives a total profit of $47,727,412. Figuring upon the total capitalization undoubtedly heavily watered, of $110,500,000, we have 43 per cent. CATTLE MEN ORGANIZE. Crook Comity Stookgrouers Believe In Union. The Crook County Cattle Men's as sociation has inaugurated a move ment In the direction of a state cattle men's association, embracing all of the various local cattle organizations In the state, says the Ashwood Pros pector.

A date will be ap pointed for a meeting of the dele gates to be nppointed by the local or ganizations, and at this meeting a permanent schedule will be launched.

At a stable in the American horse exchange , of New York, five horses, said to be Arabian stallions, are hav ing the time of their lives, and inci dentally working up a board bill and a lawsuit. The steeds were brought over from Morocco; two of them are believed to have been destined to be presented to President Roosevelt. Homer Davenport, the cartoonist, was in the deal. He ordered the im porting, and now he wishes he had confined his activities to drawing ele phants and donkeys, and let the horse business alone. Having received some disquieting reports about the social standing of his importations, Davenport took a real horseman to the barn and asked him to look them over. "Are they Arabians?" That is what he wanted to know. "Arabians!" snorted the horseman. "Arabians! they are about as much Arabians as you are. These old crooks are from Tupelo, Miss., or maybe from Delphi, Ind. If they ever came from Arabia, It was on the drawback system. You've been done. Why, the Japanese cavalry wouldn't ride those horses at the Mi kado's command. As for giving them to the president, you could be prose cuted under all the laws there are, for doing it. If you have any one that you want to get good and even with, give him a flock of these speed developers, but don't handicap the administration with them." Mr. Davenport still has the horses. and on his advice, the theories of Dr. Osier are to betried. If men are useless after 60, horses which are useless at the start cannot have Improved In middle age. All of which goes to show that when monkeying with foreign affairs. It Is well to have the advice of the state department. Your Spring Need in the Startling MortalHy.
