The shrinkage or loss In weight
of beef cattle In the course of ship
ment from western farms and ranch
es to the markets has been made a
subject of special study by the De
partment of Agriculture, and what
Is believed to be the first authentic
(formation on this subject tins been
complied and published, aR Bulletin
25. The Investigation covered tiiree
years In various cattle-raising sec
tions of the West. The cattle were
weighed nt the point of loading, on
arrival at their destination, and
again after having rest, feed, and
water. The weight was also taken
when the animals were sold. The
records Include the weighing of Tex
as and Northwestern range cattle
and calves, and of corn-fed, silage
fed, and beet-pulp-fed cattle. In all
2! sntpments were weighed, com
prising over 19,000 cattle.
All cattlemen know that their
stock arrive at market tliey are usu
ally lighter In weight than when
they started. This loss in weight is
called shrinkage. It is due to ex
cretions from the alimentary canal
and from the urinary organs, and to
moisture given off by the lungs in
breathing. A portion of this loss
nay be regained at the market by
the food and water taken Into the
system. This Is termed the "nil."
The shrinkage of cattle In transit
Is such a variable factor that no one
can say definitely how much it will
be during a journey, but by the use
f very large numbers of cattle an
average shrinkage will be obtained
which may be used as a basis for es
timating the amount of shrinkage on
cattle shipped under similar condi
tions. The net shrinkage (that is, the
difference between the weight at the
point of origin and the weight of the
animals when Bold at the market af
ter taking the "till") was found In
the department's Investigations to
range all the way from 15 to 75 lbs.
per head, or from 2.11 to 7 per cent,
depending upon the length of time'
and other conditions. The time, t hat t
the cattle were in transit varied f rum j
less than 2 4 hours to more than 72
hours. The no ruin I shrinkage may!
; be regarded as from 3 to ti per cent
stay. There Is an acute need of a
new party. The old parties do not
stand for the same thing. How can
you reconcile Bryan and Murphy,
Wilson and Taggart, and Sullivan In
the Democratic party; or Cummins
and Cannon, Ilorah and names,
BriBtow and Penrose In the Repub

which are the conditions at the time
of shipping and the treatment dur
ing the drive to the loading pens;
the length of time the euttfn were
held without feed and water before
being loaded; the nature of the till
before loading the greater losses
occurring when this consisted of suc

the weather and climatic conditions
at the time of loading, while in tran

The shrinkage during the tirst 24
hours Is greater proportionately
than for any succeeding period of

The difference between the shrink
