CATTLE-There was the usual moderate
Fridays run OF cattle today with no par
the offerings. The inquiry from both local
dressed beef men and shipping buyers was
somewhat better this morning and while
prices showed no particular advance. the
ment more brisk than on yesterday. All
classes of buyers showed a decided prefer
steers and they sold most readily, while
heavy cattle, unless choice and well fin
ished. were parsed up By, buyers until
iStsri bse s general s1 5Fad b. tSs middle wo of
the forenoon practically everything had
changed hands. As compared with a week
ago prices are not over 1o@i6c lower the
decline being most on the heavier cattle.
Only a few loads Of cows and heifers
were included among the receipts today
and with a good demand from both pack
ers and outside butchers the movement was
active and prices steady to strong as com
pared with yesterday. The inquiry has been
most marked for the light grades and they
are selling just about as well as they
were a week ago. On the other hand there
has been all of a 10d15c decline on the
medium and common cows, although these
are still selling al high figures as com
pared with beef steers. Veal calves, bulls,
stays, etc. were generally quoted as steady
and a little stronger than they were toward
the close of last week.
Business was very dull in stockers and
feeders, as there were comparatively rev
on sale and the demand was confined TO
local traders principally. Good stuff of all
weights has developed more or less
strength this week and values are 10ql5c
higher than a week ago, although the vol
ume OF business has been somewhat light
and the strength due more TO the meager
offerings than to the increase in demand.

SOME CLASS
TO OIL MONTAN'

A Montana farmer. writing to
a brother friend who still clings
to the rock dound hills of New
England, told Of the wonderful
fertility of Montana in this way:
we have a dirt floor in the
stable, and we have to NOV it
every morning to find the hors4s
50 we can curry them. Talk
of Jack and his wonderful bean
stalk hung my hat on a corn
stalk while I rested for a few
minutes in the shade, and when
| woke up I had to go to the
house and get an ak to cut the
stalk down. 1t had grown so
fast | couldn't reach my hat.
When the stalk fell it made such
a dent in the ground | had to
bridge it over to get to the other
field. A nelghbor family had
twin babies and had provided
only one small cradle. The babies
have to take turn about sleeping
on the floor, and care must be
exercised in keeping up the ro-
tation regularly. If one baby
should sleep on the floor close to
the soil more than the other one
it would grow twice as fast.
When we stand still we must take
care to keep both feet on the
ground. If we didn't the one
on the ground would grow so
much faster it would bother US
in walking. One railroad was
enabled to declare extra dividends
last year on the saving made in
