HOLD BACK THEIR HOGS
steckmen Not Marketing Hogs
Very Freely and Prices
Show Good Gain
is TO 20 CENTS HIGHER TODAY
There Was an Unusually Small Supply
For Monday-Receipts of Cattle were
Larger Than Expected and Market
Was overstocked With the Thin and
Half Fat.

| Chicago, March 7.-Today's re-
eeipts of cattle were much larger than
anticipated, but there was q good de-
nnand for fat cattle. Such lots sold
| free at steady prices, though tbs
market was badly overstoeked with
thin and half fat, sales of which Were
slow at 5@15 lower.
| Comparing prices last week with a
week ago we find that all the good to
choice steers are 15a25 cents higher,
while there has not been much ilp-
provement in the market for the COM
mon cattle, or more especially those
which had to sell below $3.50. Ex-
porters purchased freely at $4.60G15.15,
and this class of steers showed more
improvement than any other kind. The
demand for good feeder cattle has been
a little better than usual, and on that
account there was more competition for
the lower grades, and they held their
own pretty well, tho they failed to
show any quotable advance. The hard
light kind. too good for feeders, but not
good enough to suit the majority of
the packers.
Hogs.
Stockmen thruout the country are
taking q very independent stand, the
recent slump in prices causing them to
hold back their hogs. There was an
unusually small Mondays supply and
prices We're 1920 higher. sales rang
ing at 4.75@5.70; largely 5.20@5.50.
Sheep.
General demand was active once
more, and prices steady to little
lower
Together with the marked falling off
in receipts last week comes the light
est average weight of the year, the Off
cial average the first four days of the
week being hardly 1879 lbs. with chances
for the average for the week ending
with Saturday being around 1913 lbs,
against eos lbs the previous week. and
211 lbs year ago. The average weight
has decreased steadily since last Sep
TENDER, when the average was 257 lbs
for that month. Last weeks average
was the lightest since Christmas week
of 1901. over two years ago. Notwith-
standing all these conditions prices for
hogs went off 20M35 cents, the decline
being due largely to the tactics of
start to finish, with the sharp decline
in provisions, especially mess pork,
which closed about $3.50 per barrel
lower than the high point ten days
ago.

How to Exterminate Hen Mites.
miss Matilda M. Sharbaugh1


Some years ago our hen house was
badly infested with red lice. l will
give my way of getting rid of them,
for think it is a good one; at least, 1t
proved successful. We began by pull
ing out the old roost, which was nailed
against the wall, and then white
washed the walls and nests. We
poured some kerosene on the cracks
around the nests. The kerosene will
run along the cracks and kill all the
lice it gets on. The floor was covered
with sand. We then put up a hanging
roost by taking some lath and mailing
another lah that is to be used as the
roost to the other end with wire.
After you have the roost up dust the
chickens with powder to destroy the
lice that are on them. This hanging
roost is very important. Have it far
enough away from the walls so that
the chickens when on it. will not
touch the walls, and do not let any
chickens roost on the nest or any
whare else The red lice do not breed
on the chickens as the large gray or
the cracks around the roosts and nests.
Most of them leave the chickens in the
morning and get on them again at
night. In This way you can quickly get
rid of all the red lice. Even it you
only make the roost you can get rid
of the lice, for they can not get on the
chickens al night. But it will take two
or three raonths before they will all
starve, for they live on one another,
If the coop is full of red lice the chick
ems look slcllly. Do not set any hens
in places where there are red lice.
Move them after dark to nest where
you wish them to set. They generally
set well this way If you keep the nest
dark for a day or two The large gray
or white lice never leave the hens.
busting with powder is about as good
as anything to kill them.
