LIVE STOCK MARKET.
Conditions Noted By the Iowa Com
mission Company

Chicago, April rs.
CATTLE-Tne cattle market closed
up in good shape last week and while
tne run today which was estimated at
30 900, was more than the trade had
generally figured on, there was a very
good demand for cattle with the bulk
of the steers going at steady prices.
The handy weight cattle which sold at
$5.25 and upwards were in best de-
mand and sales were very active; how
ever, the choice heavy beeves novel
rather slowly, however at 40 decline.
The medium and half fat kinds of
steers were fully steady. There was
a good demand today for butcher cat.
tie of all kinds, and at the close of the
market a good clearance mad been
made. Stockers and feeders sold on a
steady basis today. We do not look
for another heavy run for the balance
of this week and would not be sur,
prised ca a moderate run to see some
advance in prices. If you will state
what kind of cattle you are feeding
and when you expect to ship same,
we will try to assist you getting in
here on a good market.
HOGS-The nog trade opened up to.
day with quite a liberal run of about
10000 head; however this was about
what the trade mad figured on. The
market was little slow to open, but
after buyers got to operating, ruled
about steady with Saturday, with the
close as good as any time during the
day, a1d the hogs well bought up. Inc
range in prices still continues very
narrow; extreme top today 1910, bulk
of all sales $6.6O@6.65. The ship
pers and packers were free buyers.
Provision markets ruled little low.
er. we figure on a moderate run Of
hogs the balance of the week and be-
lieye we will see a good market. Light
and light mixed are meeting with best
demand. Buyers are discriminating
a little against 300 lb. weights. even
il prime.
SHEEP-We had quite a liberal run
Of sheep today, receipts being esti-
mated at 10000. Market on sheep op.
ened rather slow and in good many
instances prices were 10cQ15c lower
tnan last Thursday. with prime shorn
wethers at 500. While lambs show
ed a little weakness today, prices
were generally about steady, bulk OF
the Colorado lambs going around

lambs prices are very nigh and for
those ready to ship, we advise letting
them come along. y

Potomac Filling Up.

The filling up of the channel Of the
Potomac above the new bridges has
been very rapid in the past two years,
the depth having been reduced from
about % feet to less than Is feet, and
in the tidal basin, it is stated, the de-
posts of sediment have caused an
even more rapid decrease in the depth
of the water.
A few years ago the smaller tugs
were able to get into the tidal basin
and cruise about without danger of go
ing aground, and on several occasions
the harbor police boat Vigilant, in
breaking up the ice on the basin,
traversed it from end to end. At that
time there was about six feet of water
in the basin at the lowest tides, and
six or seven feet could be found at
the inlet where the basin and river
connect. Recent measurements, it is
stated, found less than three feet in
the center of the basin, and it is so
shoal at the entrance that but few
of the tugs employed on the river can
pass through it without sticking in
the mud.
The rivermen are at loss for the
cause of the rapid filling of the basin
and channels in the vicinity of this
city. Some ascribe it to the fact that
the sand and gravel diggers, several
of which were constantly at work
above the Long Bridge until within
the past three years, do not now keep
a good depth of water close to shore
and thus give place where much of
the sediment may settle.

of valves, on the windward side OF

each of which is opened but little,
the incoming current of air is evenly
distributed throughout the building,
and Objectionable drafts prevented.

should be about two or two and one
quarter feet in depth, of the same
width as the driveway floor above.
The openings at the end may be of
any convenient size, preferably not
smaller than six feet in length by one
foot in width.
The opening space under the central
section, which serves as a fresh-air
chamber, must be completely separat
ed from the two side spaces under the
stall floors. Fresh air from the air
chamber is taken into the stable

built in the form of boxes, there be

MEN WANTED.

We can give steady employment to a
few more Conductors and Motormen. Any
Rble-bodied man, with average intelli-
gence and a common school education;
can learn the work with about ten days
practice, and then he has a trade at
which he car always find steady employ
ment as long as he conducts himself
properly. Car men always have steady
work the year round, regardless of sea-
sons or weather and if they. are indus
trious and steady can earn from $75 to
$50 per month. There is no danger of be
ing laid off on account of the work clos
ing down; very little danger of wages
being reduced in case of hard times, ana
no lost time on account of rainy days.
Men at this work earn about as much
as they would receive at most outdoor
work if paid at the rate of $500 to $500
per day, when the time lost at other kinds
of work is considered. We pay 81 cents
per hour to start with the first year, and
from that up to % cents per hour at the
end of five years.

more apparent that it is not only hui
name but profitable to make adequate
provision for the ventilation and SAM
tation of stables.
The need for ventilation arises from
the fact that when the air Of Occu-
pied stables is not changed the oxygen,
which is the most important ingredi-
ent from the standpoint of animal life,
is exhausted, and the air becomes con
taminated with the calculations from
the lungs of the animals and from the
manure, litter, etc. At the same time
the conditions are rendered especially
favorable for the growth and accumu-
lation of disease germs. Poor ventlla-
ton, therefore, not only tends to
weaken the animal system and to
render it more susceptible to disease
by furnishing an insufficient supply
of the life giving oxygen, but favors
the growth of the germs which cause
disease.
In the great majority of farm
stables the use of artificial heat and
ton is impracticable. The heat OF
the animal body must be depended
upon not only to maintain suitable
temperature in the stable, but to
cause a movement of the air which
may be utilized for the purpose of ven
tilation. To secure proper ventilation
under such circumstances it is nee
essary to utilize all the natural forces
that keep the air mixed and in motion,
namely, unequal temperature, due to
the heat given off by the animal body,
the power of diffusion of gases, and
the force of the wind.
The simplest means of providing

Leo Weakness.-Leg weakness

Leg Weakness.-Leg weakness is
generally noticed about the time the
fall rains set in. For this reason it is
charged to wet weather. The cause
however, is forcing and too much rich
feed. The trouble can only be pre-
vented by feeding more moderately
from now until the bird is ready for
market. Feeds rich in nitrogen, such
as wheat, bran, clover, meal and meat
should be given instead of pure ra'
ton of corn.
