Useful Apple Seed.

Probably comparatively small proper
ton of people know of the remedial action
of the common apple seed in cases where
one gets a foreign substance In the eye.
Almost everybody has used or heard of
"eye stones" The seed of the apple acts
in precisely the same way. Introduce 1t
under the lid and 1t will travel about until
1t has found the offending cinder or other
harmful object. 1t gives no discomfort and
will sometimes stay in the eye twenty-four
hours before 1t has fully done its work.

ARE SELLING TOO g

Expect Feeders to Sell Lower for tho
Late Summer and Fall Trade.
Live Stock Wortd:SS In drawing conclu-
sions on the cattle situation, as suggest
sd by the volume Of feeder trade at pres
ent, it should not be forgotten that this is
a betWeen-season period. The late spring
and early summer months always furnish!
a lighter demand for stock cattle hi
ate summer and fall months. However,
the draft on the market for stockers and
feeders has, for some time. been smaller
than usual at this season of the year One
of two causes has brought about this con-
alton; perhaps both have been more or
less influenced, viz: Prices for stock cat
tie have been entirely out OF proportion
to&the fat cattle market. and there Is the
suggestible possibility that supplies Of
young cattle available for feeding pur-
poses are running Low. But this is too
Dig q country to place much confidence
% the latter proposition. Young cattle
may be scarce in ON localities, but over

The most reasonable conclusion is that

operations hay been Responsible far q
