ments OF cantaloupes from Manzanola
for the season Of 1909. Tie year has

unusual combination.
The Manzanola Fruit association
has shipped 52 cars loaded with canta.
loupes-thc largest annual business
the association has ever had. Besides
these, many cars have been shipped by
independent growers, and the local
express shipments would probably

Cattle receipts here last week were
heaviest Of the year, at 81, 200 head,
including 1880 calves. The market
was very satisfactory considering the
big run, and every thing averaged stea-
dy for the week, except medium to
low grades in some instances, and
these show only moderate decline.
Demand was good from all sources,
shipments to country points during
the week 1920 cars, containing nearly
10000 cattle, heayiest movement this
season. Feeder buyers from Illinois
took out 1861 carloads OF cattle during
September, while during same month
last year their purchases were $50
cars. Country feeders are becoming
more active every week, as they now
know the amount OF corn available
and about what 1t will cost, aud the
general sentiment over the feeding
section is more favorable to feeding
the coming season than IL has been
any time before this fall. Receipts
from the range country have been
heavy, although only q moderate pro-
portion Of the ruu OF 1900 head here
to-day are from far away territory.
Market to-day IS steady to strong on
all kinds. Panhandle aud New Mex.

steers, which sell at $40 to 4. Is, cows
at 81. 40 to $50, heifers $500 to 3.6O,

beef steers from Colorado last week

Trapping Mosquitoes.

Here Is a suggestion to end the mos,
quito pest in your house. Try II, and
see what 1t is worth. The following
is taken from a consular report pub
lished by Uncle Sam. The consul tells
of the awful annoyances caused by the
mosquitoes in the suburbs Of Calcutta.
Life wasn't worth living there until
Mr., LEROY of the Indian chronological
department invented mosquito trap
which appears to have solved the
problem. The invention consists of a
box l2x9 inches fitted with a hinged
lid provided with small opening,
over which moves a sliding cover. The
box Is lined with dark green haize aud
has a tin floor. The trap is placed in
a shady corner Of the room and the
mosquitoes on entering the house In
the morning find the tray a delightful
place I'm which to seclnde themselves.
When the morning rush of mosquitoes
is over a teaspoonful of benzine is In
jected into the box. which promptly
kills the pests.
