Stock Market

Kansas City Stock Yards, Dec,
II, 1911. The unsatisfactory
cattle market last week, when
values declined 10 to 35 cents,
operated toward a small Mon
day supply here to-day. The ear
ly estimate of $500 head proved
too small though, the final count
for the day being close to ten
thousand head. This meagre sup
ply resulted in a steady to strong
market, in spite of the burden
some run of $4,000 cattle at
Chicago to-day, with sharp
decline in prices there. Evidently
Illinois and Iowa shippers are
cutting loose freely. Some say it
is because of the severe ravages
of hog cholera in those states,
and the high price of corn is pro-
badly also factor. Whatever
the reason, a good many cattle
are getting out OF the way,
which may benefit the market
later in the winter. Feeders in
different localities complain
about the poor fattening quail
ties of corn this year. Complaint
is made that the corn is either
wormy, or lacking in oil proper
ties, though i'll appearance nor
NAL. The high prices paid this
month for prime cattle are allur-
ing to feeders who can secure the
right kind of nutriment, and
country kinds Of cattle remain
firm. They are selling higher to,
day. Bulk of the native fed steers
sell at 1915 to $7.25, native
COWS $500 to 1925, heiters up
to 800, Colorado beef steers
$500 to $3.50, COWS $4.OO to
$500, Quarantine ted steers
$3.50 to 1910 to-day. Several
large strings of Usage steeres
sold here to-day at $3.50 to SIS &c
$50 to 1880 Id.
Hog supplies are beginning to
run short a little, occasionally
falling below estimates, where
as a short time ago it was hard
to get morning estimates high
enough The price is still settling
though some dealers assert that
January will witness an advance
of one dollar per cwt in. values

LITTLE RUSE DIDN'T SUCCEED
Youngsters Scheme Was All Right,
But Economical Father Was a
Match for Him.

The proprietor of the most promi-
nent hotel in the town Of S., Ky,
is a man of a very economical ma
ture. in fact he is an extremist in
this feature. He has a siX-year-old,
red-headed son, that didn't inherit his
fathers economical disposition. Re
Gently the son was cry much in need
Of a five-cent piece for soda water
purposes. He went into the dining
room, where he was free from obser-
walton, and removed his shoe strings
and placed them in his hip pocket for
future reference. Returning to the
office he approached his father and
said:
PA, give me a nickel to get me a
pair Of shoe strings"
His father glanced down at his
sons shoes, then turning around ap-
preached the office safe and opened
1t in silence. He took out the cash
box and raising the lid extracted a
pair of new shoe strings, which he
handed TO his son without a word.
The %youngster took the strings with a
crestfallen air and then to the amuse,
ment of the onlookers exclaimed:
"Stung again, by granny"

The Bishop and the Bow.

The late Bishop Williams of Con
necticut was very fond of children.
and it was always a joy to MS young
sters when he came for his visit to my
fathers parish. His anecdotes and
stories enlivened the whole household.
Once when he was staying with us he
told the following story,
"One Sunday morning, just after
breakfast, | repaired to the rector's
study, where | was soon followed by
his little four-year-old son. who
climbed up on my knee and began to
talk. Suddenly the little fellow look
ed up into my face and said: 'Bissop,
do 90 want to see my piggy book
Eyes, indeed said |. So the child
slid down and started to get the book.
When halfway across the room a sud
den idea seemed to strike him, and,
running back and putting n hand on
my knee, he looked up in my face and
shook his little forefnger at me, wills
pering: 'Bissop. it's Sunday. We mus.
do zis on re sly!'"-Harper's Maya
zine.

CURING MEAT
PROCESS A MYSTERY TO MOST
CITY hOUsEKEEPERS.
Good-Sized Piece OF Meat May Be
Bought Advantageously and
Corned-Pickline and Dry
ing Process Explained.

The method Of keeping meats thu
year around is we'll known to farmers
wives, but a mystery to most city
housekeepers. A good-sized piece Of
meat may be bought advantageously
and corned, after cutting off a portion
to be used in it's fresh state. The
rump Is best to corn. Beef tongue,
fresh ham, veal or mutton are excel
lent when corned.
A pickle for corning meat in small
quantities is made as follows: Four
pounds of coarse salt, eight quarts
of water, two pounds Of brown sugar.
one-half pound of saltpeter; stir until
salt and sugar are dissolved; then
boil and skim, letting the mixture
become cold before pouring over the
meat. Turn the meat in the pickle
every day for a week, which will give
it a fine color and flavor. During
the summer this pickle may be boiled
over with an addition of one cup of
salt and one cup of brown sugar to
one quart OF water. when it will keep
sweet for several weeks. A plate or
clean fiat stone must be used to keep
the meat beneath the pickle.
A large beef tongue will have to
be kept in the pickle fourteen days
before it is ready for use.
Dried Beef.-Select a round of beef
and divide in two parts through the
middle, rejecting the bone. For
twelve pounds of meat allow one-half
pound of fine salt, one-quarter unc
Of pulverized s%altpeter, and one-half
pound Of brown sugar. Rub this mix
ture into the meat every morning un-
til it is all used up. At the end of
this time hang up in the smokehouse
for two weeks to dry. An excess Of
smoke will ruin the flavor.
Few people in the city have a
~s1nokehouse. and this method will be
found a very good substitute. Drive
nails around the top Of a tight barrel.
fill an iron pan or pail half full OF
ashes, build a fire on top Of these.
Hang the meat by a stout twine OF
the nails, place a board over the top
of the barrel, and cover tightly with
an old blanket. This method has been
tried in the back yard of a city resi-
dence and found practical for smoking
two hams, two pieces of beef. and two
sausages.
If two or three families will club
together and buy their meat whole
sale at one of the packing houses they
will find that their meat bills will be
about %one-third what it usually costs.

Borax water will restore the gloss

Use warm water to sprinkle starched

Try removing mildew by soaking in
a weak solution of chloride OF lime.

Grass stains may be eradicated by
saturating the stain with kerosene.

To remove stains of blood soak
them in cold salt water, then wash

To erase all traces Of scorch stains,
wet the scorched place. rub with soap

Ink stains are sometimes removed
by sooking in sour milk and then
yinsing in a week solution Of chloride

Iron rust stains yield to the follow

NEWS OF MONTANA
important Happenings Of the
Week Briefly Told.
MONEY AND MEDALS AWARDED.
Three Montana Men Receive iAonors
and Cash From Carnegie Fund.

Libby. The Carnegie hero fund
commission has awarded medals to
Charles E. Marshall, Henry E. kuphal
and William E.. Dawson, who per-
formed acts of bravery in connection
with the ferry boat disaster here on
June Is, 1910. Marshall and Kuphal
each get a silver medal and Dawson
q bronze medal, and in addition each
man receives $1,000 in cash.
Three persons were drowned by the
capsizing of the boat while in mid.
stream, at a time when the water was
unusually high. Two others were
killed on the river bank by the cable
when it broke from its %fastenings.
When the boat capsized all the pas.
sengers were swept into the river ex-
cept Mrs. Matte Roderick, who chung
to the boats railing. A rowboat was
launched by Dawson, but the swift
water shot the boat past the sub
merged ferry at such speed that he
could not land. Then kuphal climbed
to the ferry cable, hanging high over
the water, and made his way out to
the stranded boat. but was caught by
a log which anne floating down the
river and pinned fast. He called for
help and Marshall made his way out
over the cable. He landed alongside
of kuphal and was endeavoring to re-
lease him when the cable broke from
its ~fastenings.
The breaking Of the cable caused the
ferry to float and it swung around to-
ware the opposite bank. This released
kuphal from the painful position, but
he was washed from the boat into
