Kansas Gits Markets.

Kansas city. Stock Yards. February
10th, 1907.
Fairly geod cattle runs yesterday
aud today have met steady market,
yond heavy beef steers commanding
most attention from killer buyers.
while medium class half fat steers
have had TO depend on the strong in
oniry for heavy feeders for part of
their support. Run was 1000 head
yesterday, $4,000 head here to-
day, but good to choice fed steers are
notica bly, scarce The best here yes
ter..ay sold at $500. while there are
different lunches at St 10 and Sc IS
today, bulk of the steers selling at
81 60 TO 1910. The general situation
is better than it was a week ago. and
the trade shows signs of further inn
provement. Several shipping orders
were withdrawn yesterday, as buyers
were active in the afternoon and
Shippers reconsidered their determita-
alton to forward TO other markets.
Forwarding cattle has been a losing
proposition the last ten days. Cows
and heifers have held up steady dur
luS Iil6 tDi GSoiOi III OCCl otCCl pitSSSs
competition being enlivened by many
shipping orders for New York and
Boston. Cows sell at So 25 to 81 60,
heifers S3. so to $3.50, with good she
stuff generally selling above $500
Bulls bring $500 to s4.15, calves a
quarter lower, at So. 25 to 800, stock
ers So. so to 81. 80, feeders $500 TO
81. So. Heavy feeders sell the most
readily, although the near approach
offspring is an important incentive to
parties figuring on the purchase OF
stock cattle. Shipments of farm cat
tie frem this point last week aggre-
gated $50 car loads.
Hog prices have apparently started
downward for good, general opinion
being that the high time has been
passed. Receipts are liberal, last
weeks total being $4,000 head, mar
ket lower, top Sc. 974, bulk S6.S5 to
Sc. 95, light hogs Sc. 75 to $500, pigs
scarce and common at So. .35 to 1918.
The much talked of shortage in hogs
is turning out partly an Illusion, al
though no heavy receipts are counted
on till another crop of pigs natures
Judging from the multiplicity of hog
sales being held over the country,
and the stiff prices realized, we are
entering on an era of heavy hog pro-
duction.
Mutton receipts are large this week,
900 head each of the last two days,
which, together with lower markets
east, has resulted in decline of 10 TO
20 cents yesterday and today. Bulk
of the lambs sell today at S7.15 TO
81. 80, top lambs 81 40, yearlings s6.40
to S6.65, wethers $40 to 1915. ewes
81. go to S5.25. Trading is active and
4 the demand strong from killers, and
no settled slump in price is expected.

Western Kansas has enjoyed pc
riod of marvelously sustained pros
perity. Ii is being settled by farm
ers who know their business rather
than by the speculative class who
undertook to build impossible towns
and cities; block out additions"
and boom it as an easy paradise
twenty years ago. They were BOOM
ers and birds of passage and long
caravan of returners to 'swife's folks'
made path and historic chapter in
the late sos and early s90s. The new
settlers Will have their reverses and
setbacks, as the pioneers of new
country always have and always
must, but they know something of
western Kansas history and the Inn
itations and possibilities of the eli
mate. Their enterprise and courage
are entitled to reward, and here's
hoping that the second effort at the
settlement of that section of the
state will succeed.-Topeka Capital.

How to Get Pensions.

The new service pension bill which
has just been passed will go into effect
soon. To all honorably discharged sol
diers of the civil war who served nine
ty days or more, and to all honorably
discharged soldiers of the Mexican
war who served sixty days or more,
pension of SI2 per month will be grant
ed at the age OF 81 years; SIS at the
age of 20, and $40 at the age of 75
years. 1t will be necessary for any
one wishing to take advantage of
this law to make an application to
the commissioner of pensions. Special
blanks for making these applications
have been prepared, and 1 should be
glad if you would give notice to your
readers that shall take pleasure in
forwarding a blank to any old soldier
who will make the request. As the
new pension will date from the time
the application is fled, of course the
sooner this is done the better.-Con-
gresham Reeder.
The pocket gophers are appearing
in many Jewell county alfalfa fields,
and unless they are promptly dealt
with they will ruin every field. and
lose hundreds of thousands of dollars
to the farmers. Luckily the pests are
easily. dealt with and can be extermi-
mated from any field in few days.
Riley Smith cleaned them from his
field by the following method: With a
spade dig down to the underground
runway and place in it piece of raw
potato that has been poison ed Then
lay a small board over the spade hole
for a roof and cover with the dirt.
This is sure shot, Poison the potato
with strychnine. Insert the knife
blade slantingly into the potato ana
under the blade drop one small gran
ule of strychnine and let the potato
close over it. 1t will poison the whole
piece. An extensive field can be gone
over in this manner in a day and the
dose seldom needs to be repeated. Al
falfa is too valuable a crop TO be CIV
en- up to the gopbers when they can
be headed off so easily.-Jewell Re
