MARKET LETTER
From Our Regular Kansas City
Stock Yards Correspondent

hansas Nlly STOCK yards, DEC. -
Under the influence of small T.
ceipts Of cattle last week, the
market was very satisfactory,
making gains of 20 to Sc on
beef steers, 10 to l5e on cows and
heiferS, 25c on calves, and strong
10 a little higher on Stockers and
feeders. The big steers were
less In demand than yearlings or
handy weights, a condition near
~ always prevalent at this season
and later. Top yearlings last
week brought 81. 10, best heavy
steers S6.75. Outlet for the mar
ket in the east is said TO be mar
row, but the 5000 here today met
a strong market, steers 10 higher
III some cases, and eows up 5 to
15c. Best steers today sold at
st. 50 and So. 90, about 40 of the
beef steers at So or better, bal
ance at 81 SO, cows and heifers
S2.75 to S5.75, bulls $500 to
81. 35, calves S3.75 to 81. so, stock
ers S3.25 to 81 SO, feeders So to
S5.25. Anxiety IF buyers last
ten days has been a surprise, in
view of weak reports r m
markets east, and the usual dull
ness around the Christmas holi-
days. Cattle receipts here for
December will aggregate $4,000
head, not including Is, 900 calves,
an increase of almost 10 per cent
over same month last year. Coun-
try buyers have bought more
freely this year than last, and
have taken more heshy steers
than usual, which left a smaller
number for the packers, and par
TALLY explains the good market.
The hog market closed at the
top point of the week Saturday,
Is to zoe above close of previous
week. The illogical nature of the
packers late stand for lower
prices was fully displayed, and
the fact that they are operating
on a had to mouth basis was set
forth in their scramble for sup
plies account of the reduced run,
$1,000 head last week, only half
the run of previous week. Supply
is 5000 here today, market 5 to
10 higher, top So, several loads
put over at that figure, medium
weights at $50 to sos, light
hogs S. 80 to S. IS, pigs $4.25 to
$5.25.
The sensational rise of 75c to
81 per cwt was affected by sheep
statesmen last week without much
resistance from buyers, run 15,-
900 for the week. Supply today
is 1000 head, market 10 higher,
aud highest prices OF the season
paid today for all classes, lambs
at 500, yearlings So,65, wethers
S5.25, ewes 81 rs. The raising
of the Michigan quarantine regu-
lations in this country and the
refusal of Canada to do likew wise
will throw larger supplies on the
Chicago market, as Michigan fed
stuff can not move to the east
through Canada as formerly, a
feature that may effect the mar
ket adversely for awhile. Few
feeders are included in receipts.

by Rev. Thatcher Kimble. minister of the

Maine since their said marriage. That she has
always conducted herself toward her husband
as faithful, true and affectionate wife, but
that said libelee, regardless of his marriage
covenant and duty, has treated her, his said
wife, with cruel and abusive treatment and ex-
IRENE cruelty. That she does not know the
present residence of the lbeee and cannot as
certain the same by reasonable diligence.
Wherefore, she prays that it may be decreed
by this Honorable Court, that she may be di-
vorced from the bonds of matrimony existing
between her and the libelee.

GOATS AS TRAIL MAKERS.
They are doing Good work for the Gov
eminent.

WASHINGTON, D. c., August 23d.
The brush eating instinct of the An
CORA goat is being successfully demon
strated on the Lassen National Forest in
California where they are cutting trails
for fire guards through the brushy
areas on the slopes of the mountains.
The animals, which number 5000, have
been divided into two bands and under
the care of the herders are grazed within
certain we'll defined areas so that their
work may be concentrated on the brush
within those limits. The result is that
they have practically killed nearly all
the brush in the course either by eating
it up entirely, or by barking, as in the
case of the heavy manzanita bushes. At
the beginning Of the experiment there
was some doubt as to the goats willing
ness to eat the manzanita, but it has
been found that where there is little else
they will Just as readily attack it as any
other bushes.
The grazing season was so late this
wear on the Lassen Forest that the goats
did not begin operations until about the
middle Of June, but since then they have
made rapid progress and the result prom
Uses to be a success from every point of
view. The trails will first be opened and
then kept free of sprouts by the goats,
saving the government considerable
labor in cutting them out by hand as has
been done heretofore, while the brushy
forage which otherwise would have been
wasted will support 5000 goats very
comfortably.

No other medicine for woman's ills
has received such widespread and I'M
qualified endorsement. No other med
icine we know of has such record
of cures of female ills as has Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
For more than 30 years it has been
curing female complaints such as
Inflammation, liberation, local weak
nesses, fibroid tumors, Irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, indigestion
and nervous prostratio1A and it is
unequalled for carrying wonien safely
through the period of change of life.
1t costs but little to try Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. and,
as Mrs Barclay says.it is "worth noun
tains of gold !" to suffering women.

Forest Supervisors headquarters in the
National Forest States and Territories,
including Arkansas, Minnesota, Michi-
gan, and Florida, which are the most

advantages are considerably increased.

assume responsibility and serve in super

more responsible positions on National
Forests are filled by promotion from
lower grades, so that anyone entering as
ranger is eligible for promotion to any
of the more responsible and higher paid
places, including that of Forest Super
visor.
Only those men who are at least twen-
ty-one years of age, not more than forty,
of good character, temperate, and in
good physical condition, are eligible to
take this examination. The salary paid
to beginners is 5000 year.
Applicants can secure information con-
corning the examination from the United

soula, Mont, Denver, Colo, Albu-
querque, N. Mex, Ogden, Utah, San

The Berry Pickers.

When summer winds like scented waves bear
fluffy flakes of cruising seeds,
Above the stems of tawny grass and pale
white wreaths of lowered weeds,
And berries splash their scarlet stains across
the dipping hills of sun,
Their laughter lifts like silver bells and tink-
ling echoes sweetly run.
Their faces far below the crests of ripping
gold and Swallowed green,
They hear the dreams of drowsy bees and
watch those buccaneers unseen
Cling yellow to the clover masts and trailing
ropes of wild blue pea,
And breathe the brine of daisy froth that
drifts between the walls of sea,
Their fingers pluck the glowing fruit, their
lips and cheeks are smeared and dyed;
Their snowy bonnets brush the grass like lift
ing topsails on a tide;
And when their little pals brim red and rosy
hands will hold no more,
They steer long shadows down the waves that
float their tired feet to shore.
