Live Stock Market.

KANSAS CITY, March 20, 19O8.- Cattle receipts this week were 31,- 900 head, a slight increase over last week, but 1000 head short of same week last year. The market has advanced 35 to 50 cents on steers, and 25 to 40 cents on other kinds of cattle, but the sharp gains have failed to draw in any heavy supply. A large number of Colo rado fed steers have been included this week, at $5.40 to $5.85, fed panhandle steers at $5.65. These sales were made first of the week, and same cattle would bring 9 to 40 cents more today than on Mon- day. Tail ends out of the Lock
 hart feed lots sold at $5 80 yester- day and branded steers from Neb- raska at S6.35. top natives $6.5O

The good market appears to be on solid basis, but, of course, is subject to violent fluctuations on short notice, prices being at a dangerous height. Cows bring $3 50 to $5 25, heifers $4.00 to $5.S5, bulls $3 50 to $500, calves $4 LOO to $6.25, stockers and feeders $400 to $5.50.
 Sheep and lambs have been com ing more freely than during the previous week, but receipts are not equal to the demand, and prices are 30 to 50 cents higher this week. New prices for the year were estab- lished on all grades this week, lambs reaching $7.65, yearlings $6. /. 90, wethers $6.60, ewes $6 25. The extreme limit today, if quality was available, would be 10 to 25 cents higher than these figures. Feed ing lambs brought $6 95 yesterday, and goats $400 to $4.75. Prospects favor moderate receipts and strong markets next week.

Rangers Wanted In fores, Service

Washington, March 20. - The United States Civil Service Com mission has just announced that examinations will be held for the position of ranger at the supervi- sor's headquarters at every Nation al Forest on April 23 and 24. It is estimated that 300 more rangers will be required during the present fiscal year than were on duty last year, and eligibles to fill these vacancies will be furnished the Forest Service by the coming ex- aminations. The examinations will be held in seventeen states and territories. In Arizona, the examinations will be held at the following places: Benson, Doug las, Flagstaff, Nogales, Roosevelt, Stafford, Show Low, Springerville.
 Applicants can secure informa- tion on the examination from the United States Civil Service Com- mission, Washington, D. O., or from the Forest Supervisor at any of the places mentioned in the seventeen states. Those who wish to take the examination should ask for application form 1893, a copy of the Use Book" and a copy of "Information Regarding Employ ment on the National Forests" The papers in the examination will be forwarded to the Civil Service Commission and the results an- nounced in due time.
 Experience, thorough know ledge of forest conditions, and sound body, rather than book educa tion, are the qualities sought in examining applicants who desire to become forest rangers. The man must have the ability, however, to make simple maps and write intel ligent reports upon forest business connected with the position. A ranger must be able to take care of himself and his horses in regions remote from settlement and SUD- plies. Necessary qualifications of applica nts include the knowledge of trail building, construction of cabins, and the ability to ride, pack, and deal tactfully with all classes of people. They must also know something of the land laws, surveying, estimating and scaling timber, logging, mining and the livestock business.
 The applicant should be thor oughly familiar with the region of the country in which he seeks em. ployment. In Arizona and New Mexico, the ranger must know enough Spanish to conduct forest business with the Mexican users of the nations forests. Personal equipment and horses for use in connection with duty of ranger are furnished by the rangers them selves, and not by the Forest Sery-

THE FARMER AND PROSPERITY

THE FARMER AND PROSPERITY.
The farmer is after all the real
advance agent Of prosperity, and the
flnal reports of the department of
agriculture shows that the corn crop
OF the country for the present year
was considerably over two and a
half billion bushels crop that has
been exceeded only three times in
the history of the country. The St.
Louis Globe-Democrat, in comment.
Ing on the annual crop totals, OBJ
serves that "corn is the country,s
imperial crop. It brings to the pro-
ducer more than does any other farm
crop. For about half dozen years
its farm value has been over ST.
O0o, 100000 annually. For 1907 it
was $1,337 200 900. 1t will go be-
yond s1,4oo,ooO, 900 for 1908. There
is close race between hay and cot
ton for second place among the big
crops in aggregate value, with hay
often ahead. In 1907 the figures
stood at s675 600, 900 for cotton and
cotton seed, and $3.50, 100000 for hay.
Wheat brought s500,OOo, 10000 to the
farmers for 1907. oats $3.50, 1000 900.
potatoes s1so,0oo,oOO, tobacco ss7,-
600 900, and other products brought
in
"As the farming element is still
the largest integral of our popula-
tion, and as everybody consumes
farm products, large crops have VII.
tai interest for the country. The
aggregate OF the cereal crops for 1908
will be almost up to the highest fg-
ures of the past The higher process
will bring a greatr income to the
farmers than any previous year. Sec
retary Wilson a few weeks ago esti-.
mated that the value of the farm
products for 1908 would be above
the $4,000, 100000, 900 mark, which is
a higher figure than they have ever
reached in the past. The favorable
crops will be large element in the
country's prosperity. From the be-
ginning of the year the country has
been saying that two things would
be needed for the restoration Of our
prosperitygood crops and a Repub-
lican victory for president and con-
gress. TIE country has gained both
of them and the latter in particu-

GooD TIMES IN LaMoURE.

The LaMoure Chronicle is twenty
five years old and Editor Taylor
finds cause for self-congratulation
and for due thankfulness for the
fact that the Chronicle enjoys a
splendid patronage, has it's modern,
home without incumberances and is
in position to work another quarter
century for the prosperity of La
Moure county. Time was when things
things were not so prosperous or
roseate in LaMoure county as now,
and when the lands were of doubt
full worth, for the reason that their
value had not been established by
actual test. But the recent land
sale in the county, where there was
spirited bidding for all the land Of
fered, the average price exceeding
twenty dollars and some of the land
selling for more than thirty dollars
an acre, proves that the good quail
ity of the land in the county has
been pretty thoroughly established.
In commenting upon the changes
that have come within the past
twenty years, and upon some phases
of the trials of settlement in a new
country, the Chronicle says:
''Up in Ramsey county farm
er tells local paper of having
counted sixteen cacti while driv-
ing a distance of only three
miles. He explains that full
grown cactus plan is shaped like
and about the size of bushel
basket, and tells how they are
driven across the fields and prai-
ries, scattering seeds and desola-
tion far and near. He advises
the farmers to unite in fighting
this terrible pest, as otherwise
it will ruin their farms and dis
possess them of their homes.
How like the old days in La
Moure county! We have seen
sixteen million cactus plants
each of them as big as hogs
head-chase themselves merrily
down the. streets of LaMoure,
and-the wind changing-chase
themselves back from Nebraska
the next day. The cactus scare
was very real and acute while it
lasted, but about all that is left
of it is a pleasant memory
pleasant because the scare had
so little foundation. Nature is
so beneficent, and cooperates
with man in his fight against the
invasion of foes. True, the cac-
tus has not been entirely eradi-
Gated from our soil, but it gives
the farmers no serious trouble
and its complete disappearance
is only question of time. La
Moure county once had rather
unenviable reputation because Of
the great number of cacti that
made their home within her bor-
ders. Now, by actual test, La
q Moure county lands command the
highest prices of any in the
state" ,re
