BIG ADVANCE ON ALL
KINDS OF CATTLE
Good Rains Have Gut Down
The Supply Nearly One
Third From the Previous
Week.
COUNTRY BUYERS
ARE FLOCKING IN

Kansas City Stock Yards, Kansas City,
Mo. Aug. l2.--An advance of 40 to Is
cents was made on all kinds of cattle
last week, lifting the market back TO
its position before the big break two
weeks ago. Calves are an exception, as
they lost 25 to 80 cents last week,
steady today, and best vesls bring 81. 90.
Good general rains cut down the sup.
ply nearly one third from the previous
week. and while the demand for kill.
ers was not exceptional, IL was generous,
aud country buyers floeked in by the
hundreds, expecting big run from
the dry sections, and had to compete
with killers for good many Of the
cattle they bought. There was a good
Friday run here, and killers pulled
long face aud succeeded in enforc
ing a decline of 10 to Is cents on some
grades, declaring the big advance of the
week was fictitious, aud would disap
pear tins week with the arrival of a
liberal run. This prediction had no
foundation in fact, for the fairly good
run of $4,000 cattle here today is sell
ing steady to 10 highes, The run at all
the markets is normal today, aud the
way il il being handled looks good TO
those who have cattle yet to market

A Big Shortage in Seeds.

From almost all sections comes the re-
port of frightful shortages in seed corns
also in some varieties of seed barley,
oats, rye, wheat, flax, clovers and the
early varieties of potatoes.
This is particularly noticeable in the
great corn and oat and potato growing
states.
Thus: The great states of Nebraska and
Iowa are suffering from a dearth of seed
corn as never before.
The wide-awake farmers in these and
other states are placing their orders early
for above seeds in order to be on the safe
side, and we can but urge farmers to
write at once to the John A. Salzer Seed
Co., Box 1S2, La Crosse, Wis, for their
farm seed and corn catalogue.
The magnitude Of the business OF this
long established firm can be somewhat
estimated when one knows that in ordi-
harry years they sell:
$4,000 bushels of elegant seed corn.
100000 bushels of seed potatoes.
1e0,0 bushels of seed oats.
$4,000 bushels of seed wheat
100000 bushels of pure clover and timo-
thy seeds, together with an endless
amount of other farm seeds and vege-
table seeds. such as onions cabbages, car
rots, peas, beans, lettuce, radishes, toma-
toes, etc.

they never disappoint. They always fill
