MARKET LETTER

From C1au Robi,lson q Co., Siour city
A very light run of cattle this

800; veal calves, 800 to 700; and
bulls and stays, 800 to 500,
1t has also beena higher market
in stockers and FEEDERS. This
branch of trade ruled strong to a
dime higher with heavy feeding
steers favored, Warmed weather
and short run have been the direct
cause of the advance. The demand
has ruled strong and dealers are en-
joying a good country trade. Feed
ers are quotable at 3.75 to 500;
calves and yearlings, 500 to 400
and feeding COWS and stock heifers,
|2.75 to 3.45.

Hanging Day Held Too Good For
Two Negroes.

Kansas City, Jan.-'1 do not care
to desecrate the day by orderingtheSe
two brutes hanged on the legal hang
ing day." With the denunciation
Judge Ralph S. Latshaw in the Crimi-
nal Court sentenced George Reynolds
and John Williams, negroes, found
guilty of attacking Mrs. w. F. jack
son, to be hanged on Saturday, Feb.
9Th.
The verdict of guilty was returned
on the first ballot. The jury was out
but five and one-half minutes. But
two days were occupied in selecting a
jury, hearing the evidence and re-
turning a verdict.
Prisoners in the county Jail raised
a bedlam when the verdict became
known. They had previously threat
ened to lynch the negroes in the exer-
else room of the jail
"They do not even deserve to be
classed with the murderer who must
pay the penalty for his crime with
his life," continued Judge Latshaw.
ut would be an insult to these men
who had at least a spark of manhood
in their burdened souls to have such
brutes as these put in their class. "

No Wonder He Loves His Cows?

Kirksville, NO., Jan. 1O.-Ten cows
belonging to Carl Gherke, a farmer
four miles southeast of Kirksville,
gave 450, 900 pounds of milk last year.
From this milk 1854 pounds of but
ter was made, which brought the
owner of the cows $821.O9. The cows
consumed $407.31 worth of feed dur
ing the year, leaving Mr.. Gherke a
net profit of $413.78. But enough
butter, cream and milk was taken
out of the amount furnished by the
herd to supply a family of four per-
sons and the skinned milk and ma
nure brought enough to pay for the
labor in caring for the cows and max
ing the butter. Mr.. Gherke says
that he had only eight cows during
the summer and that four of the total
ten were 2-year-old heifers.
Gherke is a German. He came to
the United States when he was 10
years old He said that he lived long
enough in Germany to learn that a
cow was the most valuable thing on
the farm and that a good farmer
thinks almost as much of his cow as
he does of his wife.

Saved at Deaths Door

The door of death seemed ready to
open for Murray w. Ayers, of Tran
sit Bridge, N. Y, when his life was
wonderfully saved. 81 was in a
dreadful condition." he writes, "my
skin was almost yellow; eyes sunken;
tongue coated; emaciated from losing
10 pounds, growing weaker daily:
Virulent liver trouble pulling me
down to death in spite of doctors.
Then that matchless medicine-Elec-
trio Bitters-cured me. regained
the 40 pounds lost and now am well
and strong" For all stomach, liver
and kidney troubles they're supreme.

Cattle Starving in Kansas.

Topeka, Jan.-According to E. j.
Guilbert, proprietor of the Smoky
Hill ranch near Wallace, there are
thousands of poor, rundown cattle in
Logan county, without food or pro-
lection, dying from the rigors of the
winter weather. In letter. written
before the recent snow storm, he
said: Some two hundred of them
have died already and one can hardly
see how any of them can live If it
should snow again."

population and yet this country raises
43 per cent of the corn, oats and
wheat in the world. The best part of
it is, | help toraise some of that corn,
oats and wheat and practically every
reader of this paper assists also.
A few dozen eggs go a long ways
towards paying the grocery bill now,
the woman makes a few go n long
ways in the kitchen and il takes 4
long time for the hens to lay a few.
Inever was so favorably impressed
with the winter use of the road drag
as was the other day, when riding
over a road that had been dragged
smooth just before the freeze. For
three weeks this road was smooth rs
a floor, while undragged roads were
as rough as the highway to wealth.
Conclusions sometimes reached by
city farm writers are often amusing,
In attempting to prove that every
farmer lost a great deal by not pas
turing his stalk fields, one of the city
pen pushers wrote that even the most
careful husker left from two to five
bushels of grain in the field behind
him for every acre husked.i
1t is a good idea not to be against
anything you know nothing about,
Investigation should come before
prejudice. once heard farmer say
he wouldn't give five cents a dozen
for the best automobiles made. A
short time ago he rode two miles in
one. Now he expects to buy one as
soon as he sells the next bunch of
hogs.
The other day | saw man dump
ing manure on his field in small piles.
Next spring, shortly before blowing,
he will 90 out with a fork and spread
that manure. His idea in piling is to
keep the manure from teaching away,
If it should leach, where would il 90?
Into the soil, where wanted. Piling
manure may be all right on steep
hillsides, where the drain goes to an
others land, or in a sandy, windy
country, but there's no excuse iorit
on comparatively level, clay land.
If we could all conform our desires
to the size of our pocketbooks what a
contented world this would be! And
would it not also become a lazy
world?
. The ordinary way to break an egg
is to hit against another egg or over
the edge of the mixing bowl and let
the contents stream over the side of
the shell, without considering wheth-
er the latter is clean or not, says an
agricultural department bulletin. But
even if there is no visible dirt, the
shell may not be as clean as it seems,
for it may have come from dirty
nest or have been untidily handled.~
Eggs should, therefore, always be
washed before breaking.
Beef is so high now that the COW
no longer prides herself on having
jumped over the moon.

FARM BURROWS.
Farmer and Stoekman

Farmer and Stoekman
Don't forget that reading maketh
full man," but it never makes a
man full.
Those who attended a farmers
short course will have a chance to
learn some book farming, also few
things that are not written in books.
When everything is taken into con-
sideration the most expensive water
system on any farm is the one where
it is necessary to cut hole through
the ice every day in order to let the
cattle and horses slake their thirst.
Farmers as a class are usually re-
garded as honest, almost too honest
sometimes, but occasionally one falls
by the wayside. Not long since |
read of one who made a practice of
mixing lard with his milk in order to
increase the test for butter fat. Any
one who can steal like that ought to
be in the class with those "higher
up"
"He who runs may read" but the
one who wishes to keep up with the
times must be able to both run and
read to his own advantage.
II may be that some winters are
open at both ends, but generally they
are long and pretty tight through the
middle.
| have made several tests of my
seed corn for next year. The poor
est result was from the butts of the
ears, 81 per cent. The best results
from corn picked at husking time
was SO and Sc per cent. Early picked
seed and corn taken from the shock
was more nearly perfect.
The prizes offered by the different
corn contests are worth trying for
and the best part of it is that if any
one does his best to raise prize win
ming corn the increase in his corn
crop will sometimes be worth more
than all the prizes in any one contest
put together.
Before many moons the census tax
er will be among us asking all Akinds
of questions about our business. He
will want to know all we know about
our business and will ask for some
things we do not know. Some of us
will be liable to think that he is ask
ing for things that is none of his bust
ness.
The government officials have dis
covered a leak" in the sugar barrel
where millions of dollars in revenues
were lost. The news of such leak is
interesting to taxpayers whether they
pay direct or indirect taxes. Perhaps
they will take a day off and hunt
more leaks.
