R. A. Harper sold his calves and
yearling steers this week to Mr.. Bar

stand that the prices were the high
est paid here this year. Mr.. Harper
always gets the top figures for his
cattle which is due to the fact that
his cattle are considerable above the
average western cattle. 1t is sure
proposition that the better the grade
of stock the better the prices they
bring.

Meade county. We would be pleas
ed to hear from Mr.. Camp again in
reference to his connection with
Meade county.

we re-publish the recipe for EXTERN
mating prairie dogs. We hope that
everyone will clip the same and pre-

effort will be made by our people,
as these little animals are destroying
thousands and tn ousands of acres of
grass every year. Mr.. ]. M. Bran

forms US that this recipe will be ef-
fective if properly used, as he has
made experiments and has demon
strated that it will do the work, but
