32ND YEAR-NUMBER So
Kansas City Market Report

Kansas City Stock \ ards, February
2l, 1911 A small Tuesday run of cat
tie today, 10000 head, is not perform
ing up to expectations. Statesmen
seem consistent in holding out for at
least steady prices today, but buyers
are making slow market of it, and
their bids were weak all day. 1t looks
like the moderate total at all the
markets this week with the single
exception of Chicago, together with
the seasonable action of the ground
hog since Saturday, should have been
enough to bring rise. Buyers are
talking about Lenten abstinence al
ready. They count on muddy fed lots
bringing in lot of cattle later this
week, or the first of next week. Then
the tax return period begins March
lst, and is always counted on to swell
receipts some, although the influence
in that direction exerted by this
event is largely imaginary. On the
whole, it don't look like actions
of buyers this week have much
basis in reason, and it is doubtful if
they stick to their position if favora-
BILE market conditions continue Top
steers today brought S6.25, and bulk
of steers bring s.. 20 to S6.15. Cows
and heifers have been more scarce
this week, and have held steady,
quite string of heavy cows above
$500, and up to S5.35, and heifers
mainly at $3.50 to S.. IS, tops at $500,
bulls S4.25 to S5.25, calves up to 1925,
stock steers S49O to S5.65, feeders
s5.40 to 1886. Buyers are said to be
securing the range country for mate
rial to>put in Kansas pastures next
summer. Lots of cattle from Old
Mexico will find their way into Kan
sas this year, and it is reasonably
certain that all the pastures will be
full.
Hog receipts are very small today
for the second day of the week, 1000
head estimated early, but less than
that number arrived. The market is
slightly stronger, bulk 1925 to S7.40,
top S7.45. Heavy hogs came up into
the running yesterday, and are only
10 cents under the leaders today
Paucity of offerings is the only thing
| that prevents axe welding by the
| packers this week. A year ago this
higher than now, and the run was
| heavier than it is this week. Sup
plies this week, however, are not
representative, and the shortage will
have to show up either later this
week or the first of next week.
Sheep and lambs started out 10
cents higher today on an estimate of
1000 head. Later the estimate was
increased, and the final count stopped
at II, 900 head. Prices eased off lit
tie, though buyers were hungry, and
looked with favor on the liberal rum
Lambs sold freely at S6.1O to S6.25,
heavy yearlings at S4.9O, lights 1925,
wethers S4.6O, ewes S4.35. Colorado
is furnishing bulk of the stuff now,
though the Kansas district around
Wamego and ST. Marys is well repre-
sented today,

Neva May J 0seph was born Sep
tember 10, 1895, died February Il,
1911, aged Is years, five months and
seven days. She died of tuberculosis
after an illness of seven weeks. We
little thought on Christmas, at the
Christmas tree where Neva took such
a prominent part, that the Master
would soon call her to that undis-
covered country from whose bourne
no traveller has ever yet returned.
But after all it may be best that in
the sunniest, ,happiest hour of all its
voyage, while eager winds are kissing
every sail, to dash against the unseen
rock. For whether in mid sea or
among the breakers of the farther
shore wreck must mark at last the
end of each and all. We strive in
vain to look beyond this vale of tears.
We cry aloud and the only answer is
the echo to our cry. But in the
night of death, hope sees a star and
listening love can hear the rustic of a
wing. Neva had not passed on life's
highway the mile stone, that marks
the highest point, but weary for a
moment she closed her eyes and fell
into that dreamleSS sleep that kisses
down her eyelids forever. While yet
in love with life and raptured with
the world, she passed to that celestial
City above where pleasant surprises
await the wayfarer from this world
of sin and sorrow. Our loss is her
gain, our sorrow her happiness.
But earthly hope is gone and now
Comes in its place brighter beam,
Leaving upon her snowy brow
The impress of heavenly dream.
That she, when her frail body yields
And fades away to mortal eyes,
Shall burst through heavens eternal
fields
And bloom again in paradise.
The funeral services were held
from the residence Sunday, February
10Th, conducted Rev. Terry, after
which a large concourse of friends
followed the remains to Riverside
cemetery where interment took place.

On TueSdoy evening ChriSton Han
sen, Danish violinist, rendered a
most interesting program at the
court house under the auspices of
the Eastern Star. The audience was
small which seems rather unusual in
as-much as an opportunity is not Of
ten given in small place to hear so
talented an artist as was Mr.. Hansen
whether it was a lack of unity be-
tween the brethren and the sisters
too, we don't know, but we do know
that the people that stayed at home
missed the best musical treat of the
season. Mr.. Hansen was assisted by
our local male quartette consisting
of Messrs. Will and Ray Nelson,
Arthur Kirby and Ray Everett. The
quartette was paid very handsome
compliment by Mr.. Hansen and were
in every way deserving of it for the
music which they furnished was most
excellent and Wa-Keeney is justly
proud of these talented young men
who possess voices of rare beauty and
quality. They were heartily applaud
ed and responded repeatedly to the
encores. Their singing added much
to the enjoyment of the evenings en-
tertainment.
Wednesday was Washington IS

HOW TO CONTROL LICE ON SET
TING HENS.
Some Suggestions That Should Have
Immediate Attention.

Immediate Attention.
'The losses by poultry raisers
due to injury to the flock by lice is
enormous" says Prof. J. G. Halpin,
head of the poultry department of
the College of Agriculture of the
University of Wisconsin. ''This is
especially true in the case of the set
ting hen whose body furnishes an
ideal place for the growth of lice An
idea of the rapid reproduction of
these pests can be gained from a re-
cent experiment which shows that in
an eight weeks period one louse pro-
duced $4,000 lice.
THE physical vigor of lice-infest-
ed hens is materially impaired the
hens are uneasy and restless and
neglect their sitting. By far the
greatest injury wrought by the lice
infested hens is their ready trans
mission of these pests to the tender
chicks who are in defenseless con-
dition to resist the parasites.
The season is almost here when
the sitting hen will be called into
SERVICE" continued Professor Halpin,
and she should be in the best phys
ical condition for efficient results 1t
is good policy to dust the hen thor
oughly with some good insect pow
der before she is given any eggs.
Then repeat this busting three to
four times during the incubation
period If any evidence of lice is
noted. The last busting should oc-
cur about four days before the eggs
are hatched.
"A simple and effective insect
powder can be prepared by using
parts gasoline, one part crude car
oolic acid (strength 90 to 95 per
cent? and stirring in sufficient plas-
ter OF Paris or other fine powdery
ingredient until thick, moist mix

Messrs. Editors: Two years ago
after looking through the advertise
ments in The Progressive Farmer, |
decided to try Buckeye Reds. l or
dered a sitting of eggs from relia-
BILE breeder. Was not able to get
them for two months, owing to the
numerous orders ahead of mine, but
about the middle of May eggs arriv-
ed and set them under a hen and
batched 3. l raised five cockerels and
six hens. Not having any poultry
yard to keep my new chickens sep
arated from the old ones, / killed
out all the old cockerels and kept
the old hens, chiefly for sitters
About Christmas my pullets began
to lay and have been laying ever
since. There has not been a day
since that l didn't get some eggs.
set most of my eggs last spring, so
l could have some pullets for fall
laying. I raised 70 pullets and 40
cockerels. Last Christmas | killed
all OF my scrub hens and sold them,
also what cockerels l hadn't already
killed for table use, that wouldn't do
for breeders. l sold the balance of
them for one and two dollars each.
l have sold some hens at So each.
but | shall not sell any more now.
l have about so now and get from
two to three dozen eggs per day. My
chickens have the run of the farm
and l feed them grain once a day.
l look after their comfort a lot more
than L did my mongrels, because
they are so much more profitable. I
try to keep the lice and mites under
control by keeping houses clean and
giving my birds wood ashes to wal
low in. The cheapest and most eff
fective way l ever tried to keep mites
under control is to take a lighted
rat pine splinter and hold it un-
der the roost poles so the flame will
evelop it, and pass it from one end
or the pole to the other. This de-
stroys both mites and eggs. l used
to use an emulsion of kerosene and
creolin, but find the pine much more
enectual as well as cheaper
Don't be afraid to spend a few
dollars for pure-bred chickens and
eggs to get start from, for it will
