Live Stock Market.

KANSAS CITY, Ott. 22, 1909.-The cattle run thIs week was almost a. large as in recent weeks, but there are signs Of the windup of the sea son in Kansas. and the Panhandle country will drop down in cattle shipments after another week or two. Colorado still has her heavi est shipments to make, and ap parently owners in the West have shown wisdom in holding back from the market as long as they could. Prices are a little lower this week on medium to common steers, but good grades have held up steady, and the capacity of the market for cows has been remark. able. A number of train loads of cows from the Panhandle of Texas and New Mexico have been here this week, and everything has been quickly disposed of at prices a. good as last week, bulk of the cows at $3 B to $3 60. heavy calves $4 % to $5.50, and mothers of the calves have sold quickly at g. S5 to $3 25. bulls around $3.l5, h+ef steers at $3 5 to $40. stockprs $3 40 to. $4 25, feeders $4 00 to $430. Colo rado shipments have included beef steers at $4 30 to $4.60. considered steady 10 d shade lower than last week, and cows at $3 50 to S3.9O. One lot of Colorado beef steers brought $5 25, and Od l head of cows S4 %. stockers $3 75 to $4 40, feeders $4 % to $4 65 Kansas and Missouri still have the bulk of their etockers and feeders tn buy, and states east of Us are also heavy purchasers, iusuring good market bdlance of the fall.
 Sheep and lambs have been in moderate supply this week, the market higher than week age, top lambs this week $7 20, bulk ot the Utah and Western lambs around g. 00 this week. feeding lambs $5.75 10 $6.25. Yearlinps sold up to $5 15. welhers $475, range ewes $435. breeding ewes $4.50 to $5 9. The supply of sheep so far this month is practi. cally of the same volume as same period last year, but as the run in September was short, the total fall business from the range country has been below that nf year ago. Some medium class Arizona lambs sold first part of the week al $6 50. but supply from that section has been small for several weeks past. The market is a shade lower today, but the general situation seems strong, and no permanent reduc tiOns are expected soon.

1t viii be remembered that one
of the most important measures

one Agricultural High School in

State. the State giving $1,000
annually TO eyeFy SUCH school

since that time more than
twenty counties in the State
have taken advantage of this
wise and sane piece of legislation
and it is expected that at least
twenty other counties of the
State will fall in line by estab=
fishing such a scho9l this fall.
1t will also he remembered
that an effort was made last fall
to establish such an institution
of learning in this county but on
account Of a seeming technicality
in the bill authorizing the estab-
lishment Of such schoola the
board Of supervisors Of this
county very wisely, we think,

the matter until their Septem-

county school board, however,
whose duty it is to locate these
schools in thair respective coun-
ties, at their meeting in Sept. Of

twenty acres of land besides
