KANSAS CITY. May. 18, 1ollQl-7, Cattle here this week 32,400 last week 32, 100, same week last year 36.000. The market was stronger Monday and Tuesday, but medium class cattle of all kinds have de. preciated steadily since, particular ly light weight heifers, and sales of everything besides the best hard fat cattle are off 15 to 35 cents from the best time first of the week. Prime cattle are becoming scarce, and the spread between fed stuff and grass is becoming marked, and it will widen, as usual, as the sea- son advances. The best steers brought $500 to $S.30 this week, bulk at $6.65 to $7.90, and a few steers full below $500, for the first time in many weeks. Prime heif- CTS touched $7.60 this week, but $7.35 would be about the limit now, and best COWS might reach $7.00, bulk of heifers $500 to $6.- 90, COWS $475 to $6.35, bulls $4.25 to $6.25, calves 50 cents lower this week, veals at $6.50 to $500. Stock CTS are far below their position of a short time ago, feeders at $50 to $6.25 this week, stockers $4.00 to $5.S0. A good run of quarantines has arrived this week, including prime fed steers at $7.25 to $7.75 cake cattle at $5.25 to $6.90, and a few common light steers below $500.

tain arose at the Grand theatre on
the graduating class Of the eighth
grades OF the public schools Of Far
go. There were just 141 pupils In
| this class and the picture was an
imposing one. The girls were neatly
| dressed In white or cream, and each
wore cream or white bow in her
hair, while all Of the pupils, boys
and girls carried a red rose. There
were no decorations on the stage
other than the flowers carried by
the young students.
This Is by far the largest class that
ever graduated from the eighth
grade of the school of this city, and 1t
Is pleasing to be able to state that
Ito have already enrolled as members
Of the high school for next term, while
several more will also become mem
bers of that well known institution
of which Fargo is SO justly proud.
The entire music fer the occasion
was vocal and was furnished by the
pupils. 1t was simply splendid and
evoked much applause from the audi
ence which filled every seat of the
coy theatre. Following is the pro-

Farmers Everywhere Enthuse
Over Better Farming Special'

Mandan, N. D., June 15.-The Bet
ter Farming Special Train Of the
Northern Pacific railway and the state
Agricultural college is received very
cordially everywhere 1t goes and is
more than meeting the expectations OF
both the college and the railway COM
pany. 1t was very much an expert
ment and the idea of@loading a section
farm on a passenger train and taking
1t directly 70 the farmers and their
wives, together with corps of insti-
tute speakers, was very problematicaL
But the results that SEEM TO be APP
parently shown in the different exhib-
its and the questions asked all give
evidence that the seed of the farmers
institutes, the literature of the farm
press, and the words of the corps of
speakers are producing results and
having their effect.
Hoverstad Pleased.
In regard TO the work Professor
Hoverstad, in charge, says:
II am more than pleased with the
results so far apparent. The crowds
are better than we expected; they
have been far above expectations. At
Lisbon, Maddox, Goodrich, Sheyenne,
Steele, Medina. Hazelton and Linton,
we had enormous crowds. At one
place there were over a thousand peo-
pie to greet us. The Importance and
value of this movement has grown
upon me as we have proceeded. We
have been out over week and are
more than satisfied with the wisdom
OF the undertaking. The Initiative of
this movement was taken by the pres
ideHit of the Northern Pacific who con-
ferred with President Worst and the
Institute corps. We have co-operated
very heartily with che railway COM
pany and the expressions Of enthusi-
asm for better farming are very prom
inent among our many visitors How
to handle the crowds In our limited
space has been a problem. In the next
train sent out we will know better
how to handle the crowds and ex-
hibits to better advantage. We can
tell from the length of time they linger
about the exhibits in what they are
most interested and we are developing
those things,
"This is the first time. I believe in
the history of the nation, when an en-
tire section farm with sample build
Ings, live stock, and a comprehensive
exhibit and accompanied by a corps
Of teachers has been sent out directly
to the farmers themselves. We hope
the results will soon be apparent

! Tarm machinery. held his audience
spel-bound with his talk on the com
mon ordinary plow. He brought out
facts that are of vital Importance in
the use Of this common tool Many
farmers who had been running a pillow
for twenty or thirty years, said, why
We have never thought Of that and
yet so simple!" he said that the pillow
was set for ideal conditions as It left
the factory and that IL 1t did not run
! right 1t would simply mean that some
! OF the conditions had not been full
filled, for, instance. the hitch, perhaps,
would be wrong or the share might
need a little attention. In case that
1t would run over on the Landslide 1t
would indicate that the share was not
set TO cut properly, while IL 1t would
run over on the other side 1t would
indicate that the heel of the share was
set to cut too deep.
Plows Must Be Kept Clean.
He also stated that wnen the plow
comes from the factory 1t is varnish-
ed and the best way to remove 1t it
rs by dissolving a tablespoonful of or
binary concentrated I've in a quart of
warm water which will cut the varnish
and leave the surface perfectly clean.
He also stated that when the plow
ing was finished the pillow should be
Oiled and that the best mixture for
this was one made up of common or
binary machine oil into which had
been stirred enough Stacked lime to
make a thick paste and this should
be smeared over the bright parts of
the pillow. This will keep 1t bright
even II 1t is exposed to the weather.
He also stated that when the plow-
be run through sand or gravel to pol-
lish it, as this would ruin the surface
In case the soil should stick to il
the best way to remove it was nv
washing it OFF.
One OF the Best PIowmen in America.
Mr.. Brown is perhaps tn bsteee
ploW expert in the United States ana
ne has a very high regard for the
pillow and 1t seems that 1t almost hurts
MIN to think of any one allowing the
bright surface to get rusty or scratch

Things about the way the hitch,ng
should be done, and so on, that are
