It's matter of food. The finest food
for making strength of bone, muscle

Scotch Oats is the best because 1t Is

Kansas City Stock Yards, July 10.
Special to THE NEW ERA.
Small receipts Of cattle here last
week infused some strength into
prices, and sales at the best time were
10 to % cents higher on Western
grassers. The week closed with por-
tion OF the gain lost, and with cows
selling lower than ut the end OF the
previous week. A feature last week
was the sale OF some Kansas fed Colo,
steers at 81. 10, top price OF the week
on heavy steers. Wcighty Kansas
grazed westerns sold at s5.75 to s6.40,
lighter and thinner steers down to
S4.25 to killers. The run today is
l9, 900 head, including 1000 calves, the
largest run this summer, aud the
market is steady to little lower, the
inferior grades getting the decline as
usual. Buyers continue to show Il
preference for fancy yearling steers
and heifers, sales OF this class today
reaching s7.35 to go for best. Grass
cows and heifers range from SO to S.,
bulls S2.75 TO s4.25. calves soc higher
last week, but little lower today,
best veals S7.25. Stockcrs and feeders
sold some lower last week, but de-
mand was better at the close OF the
week and again today, with sales Of
stockers at s3.35 to s4.65, feeders 81
to $3.50 with exceptions both above
md helow these tlpurps
Sheep and lamb prices underwent
a re-arrangemcnt last week, lambs de-
clining so to 75c, and sheep advancing
almost as much. This leaves them
more properly priced in relation to
each other. Runs have been light,
supply today 1000 head, market weak
to a little lower. top lambs $3.50 yearl.
ings worth up to 1915, wethers $40,

from Lamar, Colo. Nothing has been
received In the last week from Utah

Some Hot Weather.

Fowler is experiencing some mighty
hot weather at this writing. To cite
you at least OF one positive proof OF
the intensity OF the heat, we can state
that yesterday the ice man left the
curb in front of our office with ten
pound cake OF frozen aqua pura grip
ped in his tongs and when he had
walked to the rear OF the Office to de-
posit said ice in our refrigerator, all
he had left was drop OF water dang
ling in the tongs, and 1t evaporatcd
before he could get IL into the re-
frigerator. Guess it's some hot in
Fowler, all right.-Tribune.
The same heat has struck our sane
tum few times but we we're unable
to discover the drop OF water. But
there has been change in the atmos-
phere here OF late.
