EARLY Potatoes in April.

f. II. Doherty, who lives near Uncom-
pahgre, brought the Enterprise editor
fine mess of new potatoes on Saturday.
This seems rather strange, considering
Mr. Dohcrty has no hothousc. His land
is situated on the river, and the soil is a
fine sandy loan. Last fall he conceived
the idea of fall planting potatoes, 50 he
put in few hills in the sand, covered
them to depth of six inches with it.
and over this put six inches Of straw.
He then covered the whole with sand.
A short time ago he noticed the tops
coming through the covering, and while
the boys were blowing in the field they
plowed up the hills, when they found
fine young potatoes about the size OF eggs.
They were fine eating and show that
early potatoes will grow by fall planting
if treated properly. This discovery is
worth noting and may mark new de
parture in potato raising for the early
markets.-M Montrose Enterprise, May 2.

Then hied him back to the grocery store

of fish for Lent. Said the clothing man
to the hardware man: '.You certainly

they all agreed twas the editor man and
not the devil to pay. Why don't he
roast the department stores and the ped

Kansas City Market Letter.


Special to The Tribune.
Kansas City, Mo, Monday, May b.
Although buyers we're better able to
handle cattle last week than they have
been lately, the market declined 10 to %
cents, covering pretty much all classes
of cattle. Stockers and feeders lost
about the same, but the heaviest loss
was on the fleshy feeders. Colorado and
Idaho hay fed steers were included In
the receipts, but representation from the
Panhandle country was very small. Ida
no hay fed steers sold at S4.25 to S4.65,
bulls in same shipment $3.50 to $40;
Colorado feeders S465, and a shipment
from Fowler, in the sugar beet country,
weighing ll50 to 1910 pounds, sold at
s5.45 to S5.65. The supply today is 1000
head, market steady to strong on every
thing except fat steers, which are weak
to 10 cents lower. Two shipments from
the western slope sold today, one bunch
of light feeders at $40, with few out
at S420, and some heavy hay fed feeders,
1l30 to 1225 pounds, at S4.60 to $3.50.
There was Just good steady market to-
day, generally satisfactory to shippers,
and indications do not point TO much
change this week. At this time last year
prices on killing cattle were nearly dol
lar lower than they are now, and the av
erage this month so far is seldom exceed
ed in May. j. A. RfcKART,
