Mondays Review.

Chicago had only 10000 cattle
today, or, IS her usual run. Mes
sages report an advance of ten cents
on all early sales; the late market
easy, compared with the best time.
Only 5000 head were offered here;
trading opened fairly active with the
scale of values strong to dime high
er. The variety was not large.
Some good cattle sold at S.. 90;
anything extra would have brought
more. Among our individual sales
was a string of Ias5fb Missouri fed
steers at 81. So; these were 10 to15
higher than last weeks closing pri-
ces. The better feeling was also
carried onto the COW and heifer mar
ket. All decent butcher stuff was
picked up readily at satisfactory
prices. The limited number of
SiOChCIo Ol SdIC ulCl Will dA active
demand; possibly some grades
brought more than a week ago.
Odd ends were steady.
Hogs: so, 900 hogs in Chicago,
!, 900 on our market. The trade
here opened big dime lower and
grew worse as the day advanced.
The closing sales showed a shrink
age of fully IS cents below Satur-
days average. Only one car sold
at S6.25, the top price.
We sold several punches at the
opening that would not have brought
within or 10 cents of the price
later on. The majority of sales to-
day ranged from $500 to s6.Io.
Inquiries invited; consignments
solicited.

Oliver Stubs, a son Of Sam
Stubs, created quite sensation at
ST. Louis recently. He was at a
Grand Wild West exhibition which
was attended by thousands of people.
a wild-eyed broucho was brought
before the grand stand, thrown and
blindfolded, while the wild and
woolly COW boys were preparing to
take their lives in their own hands
and ride the beast Oliver was we'll
to the front Of the crowd and began
guying the whole performance, and
limiting that the outfit was not CIV
ing the poor innocent broncho any
show at all. The proprietor got
nettled and suggested that Oliver
come into the ring and show them
how to, bust bronchos. A bluff
doesn't go very far in the Stubs
family and Oliver was soon on a
mad fight with the broncho. The
beast couldn't get him off, and in a
short time Oliver brought the bron-
cho up standing before the grand
stand and asked the show man if he
couldn't furnish a beast that had
some life about it. The crowd
went wild and everybody guyed the
Snowman numerically. In the con-
test which followed Oliver Stubb:

ashland Torn up by a Cyclone

May, FL, at 4:5o p. m. cyclone
approached Ashland from the south
west and took a north eastwardly
course, striking the north west part
of the town and laid waste all barns,
windmills and wrecked a number of
houses. Six houses were com Dletely
destroyed viz. Rogers, Gardner,
Theis, Lucas, Neunamaker and one
school house north of town. Some
parts of the buildings were carried
for many miles. Several people
were slightly injured but not serious.
The approximate damage is put at
$40, 900, which will likely be an
under estimate. A second cyclone
passed just west of town the next
day at go p. m. which demolished
every thing in it's track. 1t killed
I6 head of horses for Mr.. Klinger,
% head of cattle for Mr.. Molyneaux
L head of cattle for Mr. Hinkie and
a numper of others which 1 am un-
able to make statement at present.
Some of the cattle were carried
for a distance of three and four
miles.

A rollin' into Plains,
In sfkivered ears'' and wagons
.S.4s They'Ie COMM back again,
And of the lot that's comm in
There's many busted fat;
But now and then youth find a man
Whose pocket-book is fat.
Now one and all, both rich and poor,
Are after lands in Kansas.
They know dern we'll they struch place
That's full of great bananas.
Well so it is, there's lots of us
That's been long time waitin'
To see the immigration turn
Toward this part of the nation.
So they're heading back to Plains again,
For they hear the people say
There's money made in raisin' wheat,
And it seems just that-a-way
Now people farm the pastures
Aud for all there's plenty room,
The cattle men are looking sore
And cussing of the ''boom''
Yes lots of folks are comm in,
They're comm with the rush;
This aint the place where pancakes grow
On scrubby hazel brush,
But fields an fields of finest wheat,
Are wavin' in the breeze,
And after harvest we'll be fixed
And livin' at our ease.
An we'll write our wives dear people
To come out right away
An get piece of farmin' land
And come prepared to stay.
Well explain the situation
To all who want to come
And all the reulers of the east
Will come here and get home.

THE ADAMS STOCK FARM.
What Can be Done With Land and
Water in This Valley.

j. c. Adams. who LEFT for san Fran
cisco Saturday night. win spend part
of his summer vacation buying biooded
horses for the Adams stock ranch. The
Santa Rosa stock farm is one al the
most widely known places ON the coast
as the home of fine horses. About a
year ago it's owner. Mr.. Pierce. died
and those in charge of the estate are
now selling off the horses, 1t is this
fact and the fact that MIR. Adams
wants to get a few more good brood
mares. that ta';es him to san Fran
cisco. for hN has demonstrated that
when he buys horses he wants TO get
the best.
At his farm north of this city he

training of his own stock and the Use
of patrons and expects next fall and
after TO employ regularly good horse
trainer. 1t is not his purpose to raise
all the horses in the world, nor yet all
the Jersey cattle. but what horses and
what cattle he does raise he proposes
shall be as good as can be found any
where. He hopes after a year or two
TO be able To hold an auction of blood
ed stock every fall He now has on his
residence and race track, about 40
head O; stock and does not expect to
ever have over l75 or 200 head at the
most. selling off the surplus at each
annual auction. His stable is headed
by the blooded stallion. Oh So. which
took the gold medal at the worlds fair
in Chicago for being the finest trotting
stallion shown in harness. He was
then only four years old is now four
teen and one of the famous horses Of
the world. But the most interesting
feature of Mr.. Adams stock farm is a
PRACTICAL illustration of what can be
done with little piece of land in this
climate with plenty of irrigating wat
er. In the east it is generally esthuat-
ed that to keep stock properly there
should be from two to three acres for
each head. On his 160- acre farm. less
buildings. etc. he has as mention ID
above. 40 head OF stock now and has
this year put up already about 200 tons
of hay.
The cattle and horses work to-
gether nicely for the reason that cat
tie to produce milk literally must have
uleaty of feed and long feed At that.
The horse on the contrary prefers
shorter feed. nipping il off close to the
ground. Pasture. therefore, that has
been too closely Grazed 10 make good
feeling for the dairy herd. is just right
for horses.

in putting in the new window a number
of shelves were put under the shelf

also a number of 1.000-mile mileage

in the shelves to get more. When he
pulled out the bunch of 100 he was
Mortified to see that all the lower half
was gone from about half the package.
Then he made an investigation and
found that five mileage books had also
