The prouth and Its Effects,


Charles Peekham Of Haven had
some cattle on the market at Kansas
City last Saturday, He says such con-
dltions on the Kansas City market have
never been krewn as existed at that
time, On account Of the awful drouth
existing in Missouri, Kansas, Texas and
the Indian Territory, cattle in poor con.
dtion, Of all sorts we're crowded on the
market, Those owning them had no
visible means of supporting them
through the winter, and there were no
buyers because no one else had the feed
to carry them through. The first bid
that was made was almost invariably ac-
ceptcd. Cattle were selling there for
a small part Of what they would have
brought a few weeks ago. Many Of
them are crowded on the market be-
cause the grass has failed and the water
has given out, Mr., peckham said he
had no doubt but a buyer could get
plenty Of good COWS on the Kansas City
market last Monday morning for
$1,000 head The writer in a trip last
week into northwest Missouri found
conditions much worse than at home,
and W, I, Hopkins who travels over
the south half of Missouri, northern Ar
kansas and the Indian Territory and
has jast returned from trip covering
most Of the ground mentioned says that
the best crops he saw were between
here and Wichita. This drouth and
heat seems realty to be without parallel.

Elevator Fire

Just at peep OF dawn Tuesday morn
ing the fire alarm sounded and it is al
together probable that more people
sought their windows to locate the fire
than have done so at any fire call for a
long time. Everything was so dry that
everybody has been in deadly fear of
fires. There was also a good brisk
breeze blowing at the time,
The fire was located in the engine
room of the Bontz elevator near the
new Missouri Pacific depot. 1t is not
known how it originated. Mr., Bontz cs.
timated the loss at about $1,000. The
fire did not communicate itself with the
main portion Of the elevator before the
arrival of the fire company, and they
made short work OF it.

Mr.. WILSON, our national secretary of
agriculture, thinks our fool farmers out
here don't know when their corn is
ruined and he continues TO say it is all
right We would just like to have this
old silk stockinged farmer out here on
a bare patch for the hot winds to pour
through his whiskers for about $40 hours.
He would conclude something was
wilted bit by that time. But then
what If the corn is gone, Corn in Kan
sas has gone the same road before, and
we are all here yet. Perhaps if we had
been making things, especially the
weather we would have made it little
different, but then we are not going
TO 60 off and die, just because we didn't
have the making. No, that is not
just like Kansas, If it was she wouldn't
be here now a rich, headstrong heress
OF fortune. When these hot winds quit
blowing and we can get an inventory Of
the hide we have left we will find it will
cover better than from the feeling right
now we might Judge.

PARK Johnson of Lincoln township
shipped ISo head of cattle 10 Dodge City
the first Of the week to find a new range.
This seems to be sensible move. 1t
is very much better than throwing them
on to q panic stricken market. Out
there is plenty of grass and they can at
least be held till conditions shape them
selves around so that one can act with
deliberation and some degree Of Ger.
tainty. 1t is quite sure that when the
season is over and we start into winter
conditions will not be any worse than
they appear at present and they may be
much improved. Quite likely there
will be good chance to winter cattle
cheaply on the range. Itused to be the
invariable rule in western Kansas that
mild dry winters followed such dry
seasons SO that stock wntered better
without feed than after the wet seasons
with feed, However our stock accus-
toned TO being fed will not do as well as
the native stock. But there is an
other aspect to this crisis in the cattle
market. Toa great many people it has
been apparent that cattle are too high.
A break in the market has been ex-
pected, and it has been a matter of sur
prise that it has not come before
this. 1t may be feared that the
break brought about by the drouth and
shortage of feed will be so great that
the market cannot recover, and will

More on K kocb'l Theory.

As those who have made study OF
tuberculosis surmised, Prof Koch was
by no means so emphatic in his dec
iara ton that tuberculosis could not be
conveyed from cattle to mankind as
the irst reports indicated. The basis
OF his remarks was the fact that he
had failed nineteen times to convey
human tuberculosis TO cattle, He
never mas tried, and We believe that
no one else has tried. TO convey bovine
tuberculosis to man. All, then. that
Prof. Koch really seemed to prove was
that human tuberculosis was not
transmissible to cattle fact OF no
great hysienic Importance, compara-
lively speaking. These failures of his
however. suggested TO him the posi-
Dility that the germ OF bovine tuber-
losis were not Id .cai. and that in
ferentially. therefore, bovine triber-
culosis from man to man has not been
sxperimentally proved, and rests on
foundations hardly more solid than
those which support the BELIEF that
bovine tuberculosis can be conveyed
to man by meat and by milk. one Is as
much entitled TO belief until the neg
ative Is proved as the other. No one
doubts the transmissibility of tuber-
'culosis from man to man. and few can
therefore doubt the transmissibility of
tuberculosis from cattle to man.

1t is expected that passenger trains

130 miles an hour suggests the marvel
GUS possibilities of the immediate fu-

Even at the rate Of transit to be

the rate of $50 miles an hour, all the
