G. w. Young of Paw Paw, Mich, a
wealthy farmer and cattle feeder, made
his first trip to the Kansas City market
to-day on a buying tour. Mr.. Young has
been doing his buying in Chicago, but
has heard of the great advantages of the
Kansas City market which is furnishing
thousands of cattle feeders all over the
states east of the Mississippi river with
stockers and feeders. Mr.. Young pur-
chased string of extra choice 40O.lb
stockers. There are a good many sheep
on feed in that part Of the state this
winter but not very many cattle are be-
ing fed" said Mr.. Young. "In that
country the very best class of cattle are
fed. 1t would not pay farmer on high
priced land to fool away his time feeding
scrubby cattle. For that reason 1 came
to Kansas City, as it is generally under
stood that this market furnishes great
er variety of cattle, and more good ones
than any other market. The market that
has the variety is the place for the buy
er to GO There are certainly some extra
good cattle of the stocker and feeder
class here, and they are the kind that
we want in Michigan" kansas City
