Western Kansas District
Poultry Show

The date of the Western Kan
sas District Show has been
changed from December 40 to
January 8-l3, 1872. This show
will be held at Dodge City, Kan
sas this year. This Association
was formed along about the first
of the year and embraces all the
country west of Newton, Kansas
to the State line.
The object is to gather all the
best poultry from the different
local shows for a final test of SUI
periority.
The best judges have been Sc
cured. The entry fees are low,
and very liberal premiums are
offered. Silver cups will also be
given, and the finest ribbons pro-
durable; in fact everything is be-
ing done TO make the show at
tractlve and worth while to at
tend.
District shows are rather an
innovation. Missouri now has
four District shows and Kansas
is coming in line on the idea. 1t
is systemizing the show business
and will be of great benefit to the
Poultry industry.
Western Kansas is rapidly
coming to the front in fancy
poultry breeding. Local breed
ers cannot supply the demand,
1t is therefore new field for
eastern breeders of which they
should take advantage.
The Dodge City show will be
strictly a District show, and
breeders everywhere should take
advantage of the opportunity to
send specimens,
Further information can be
obtained by addressing f. A.
Etrick, DistrictSecretary, Dodge
City, Kansas. Catalog will be
ready for distribution about

SSSAy S0A 49, OS~OeS
Kansas City Stock Yards. November al, IL,
Cattle receipts last week we're
less than one half as large here
as in the previous week. The
holiday Thursday accounted for
a part of the decrease, but not
all of it, and the reduced Size of
the run started buyers to think
ing. Prices began to advance
the first of the week, and firm
markets were the rule every day
the close being around a quarter
higher than close of previous
week. To-day the market is
steady, receipts $4,000 head.
Except for the fact that Chicago
has $4,000 head to-day, and a low
err market, sales here would be
stronger. Suckers and feeders
are stronger to-day, some sales
ten higher than Friday, most of
those classes selling at 81 to
$3.50. A part of the Chicago
run to-day is show cattle, but
these will be sold on the market
later in the week as Christmas
beeves, and so have to be recon-
ed within calculations of killers.
Native steers sold up to 1910
here to-day, and there is a good
delegation of Kansas grass cattle
off a post graduate course on
meal or shock corn, here to-day
at $5.35 to $500, some good short
fed steers at $500. Best cows
bring $5.25, veals $500. Colora-
do and other range cattle are
slowing up this week, with prices
almost as good as any time this
season, on all kinds. Quaran-
tine cattle are mostly low grade,
although few cattle from the
mills are starting. Some 1140
pound steers from Oklahoma oil
mills sold at $5'75 to-day, and
others late last week, $50 pound
brought $4.95.
Packers succeeded in putting
hog prices down little last week
thought the market showed come
back qualities at the end of the
week. The run is $4,000 to day,
market a shade higher, heavy
hogs at $3.50 to S6.35 medium
weights 500 to $6.35, lights
$5.75 to $500, pigs $4,25 to $5.25
Packers are running rather close
stocked, as fresh meat trade alb
serbs nearly all their purchases.
AS soon as the run of hogs at
eastern market points subsidies
a little some improvements in
prices at the western markets
is expected, though the help of
the eastern order trade.
Sheep and lamb BIS made two SEN
sational advances last week, total
gain IS to so cents for the week.
The action of the market proved
that packers have small stocks
of mutton in coolers, and streng-
thened the belief of astute COM
mission men that prices will adj
vance in the near future. Some
say that skyrocket markets may
be expected after the new year.
They therefore advise owners to
persist in feeding. The run is
10000 here to-day, market 5 to 10
lower, lambs up to 5000, wethers
$500, ewes $3.50. Poorly fatted
stock sells far below these fig.
ures.

In MemOriam

It is always with sadness that we record the death of loved ones. but it should not be with rebellion and bitterness when tt is accustomed by the death of a pure innocent little child, since our heavenly Father has said: "Of such is the Kingdom of heaven. Oh how we do thank God for the sweet assurance that when this life is over we shall meet sweet little Nelson again and not only him but all who have died in innocent childhood. Oh how much company and pleasure they are to us here amid all the suffering and ills of life and to think of being with them up there where all these things are past, we are made to exclaim, what must it be to be there? Those who do not love little children and cannot bear to be wearied with them need have no fear of being bothered with them after they leave this world for they will all be safely housed where they can never go.
 We feel that little Nelson was taken to God and Heaven for purpose and his death will broad en and sweeten the lives of those who loved him with that love which is stronger than death. Be faithful John and Carrie and you will see little Nelson again and live with him and God forever in that home beyond the skies.

Strange Month.

The month of January was a very strange month noted for three unusual things, viz: lack of rainfall; extreme warmth; gI eat range between maximum and temperature. Observer reports maximum tenn perature as 4 degrees above zero on the 4th and 83 degrees above on the 28th. The month had IS cloudy days, 5 partly cloudy and only 8 clear days.
 The result of such temperature for this time of year is a great deal of sickness throughout the country. Just what the cause of the unusual weather is, we have been unable to learn.

WOMAN'S CHRISTIAN
 TEMPERANCE UNOIN

In, recent issue of the News we said that if the 90 per cent of men were in the prisons of the nation through drink as is given by the testimony of the 10r7 jailers who declared this to be the case, we felt like putting it so plainly that it would be rivet- ed on the minds of the smallest child who knows anything of figures.
 So here it is. We have, say, 1900 men in the penitentiary. Take 90 per cent of that and see how many would be at home to- day with their families, and pro- ducing wealth instead of con- suming what others have pro- duced, as is now the case.

General remarks about the CROP
The soy bean is a very valuable crop
both for hay and for use as a pasture
for hogs. The Tennessee station CbuI-
letin S2) has compared the cowpea
and the soy bean as to their habits of
growth, yields, etc According to this
bulletin the cowpea has the following
advantages over the soy eban:
% The soy bean may fail to come
through a crust which would offer but
little resistance to cowpeas.
CD The termination of the cow
pea seed is surer than that of the soy
bean seed, which Is liable to be spoiled
by heating. The cowpea is, therefore,
better than the soy bean for broad

Price feeds: Pasture, So an acre;
corn. 10 cents bushel.
That soy bean pasture is an exceed
ingly cheap feed for hogs Is the most
striking point in the above table. That
corn alone is an exceedingly poor feed
for hogs is another impressive fact
brought out. When the tests began
the pigs averaged about As pounds in
weight. OF course, if they had been
more mature the corn would have
shown up in a better light than 1t did,
as corn is more suited to old than to
young animals. When corn alone was
used the average daily gain for the
three years was only 1916 Of a pound,
while the hogs that grazed the soy
bean pasture averaged more than a
pound per day; in one lot, Lot 3, the
average daily gain per pig was 1929
pounds. Or, the hogs which received
the small amount Of corn made greater
gains Gin one case times as great)
as did the hogs which were fed moth
ing but corn. The soy bean pasture
was responsible for the large gains;
it afforded the hogs a green feed and
at the same time balanced the corn
ration so that the corn which was
eaten along with the pasture did the
hogs more good than did the corn
which was eaten alone. Corn is low in
both protein and ash: soy bean pas
lux - LlSn III DOLn ASH ana protein.
When corn was valued at 70 cents a
bushel and the pasture at IS an acre,
the cost Of 100 pounds of gain varied
from $3.50 to 1851. When corn was
used alone 1t cost 1851 to make 100
pounds of increase in live weight;
when one-fourth ration OF corn was
used along with the pasture the same
gains cost $2.59. When a one-haIf ra-
ton of corn was fed with the soy bean
pasture it cost $3.36 to make 100
pounds of pork, and 1917 to make the
same amount Of pork when a three
fourths ration Of corn was used On,
in every case where the soy bean
pasture was used pork was made for
less than one-half (and In one case
almost one-third) Of what 1t cost when
corn was used alone.
The last column in the above table
shows the value of each acre Of soy
bean pasture in terms of corn The
figures represent an average of three
years experimentation. In many Sec
lions of the state where the soil is
good, much greater soy bean yields
than were obtained on the station farm
at Auburn, can be secured; the soil on
the station farm ia naturally a very
poor one. However, the field upon
which the beans were grown is one of
the richest on the farm, 80 the above
results represent what the average
farmer may expect to secure after he
has become acquainted with the SOY
bean plant. Each acre of soy beans
was equal, in feeding value, to a
bushels, Al bushels, and SO bushels of
corn, when a one-fourth ration, a one
half ration, and three-fourths ration
OF corn, respectively, were used along
with the pasture. If corn had been
grown no more than 80 bushels would
nave been raised, even with a liberal

Proper Amount Of Corn to Feed
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1911-05-21

With a Soy Bean Pasture.-It is of
great interest to the farmer to know
just how much grain to feed along
with the pasture crops. Feeders are
ont yet agreed as to the proper amount
of corn to use with a pasture. Some
claim that no grain at all shoIGd be
used with good pasture: others claim
that better results are secured when a
full ration of corn is used along with
the pastures. OF course, all agree that
the amount of grain fed depends upon
the kind Of pasture used and whether
the animals are just being carried
along" or are being rushed to finish.
The above work was outlined with a
view to determining the proper
amount Of corn to use along with a
pasture, as soy beans. Accurate ac-
count was kept both of the amount
of pasture consumed by each lot of
hogs, and the cost of putting in and
cultivating the crops. On the aver
age, 1t has cost the station So per acre,
to seed, fertilize, and cultivate a soy
bean crop. The average farmer can
make the crop CHEAPER than did the
station, as the farmer can secure labor
more advantageously than could the
station.
Looking back to table 2, 1t is seen
that the largest daily gains were Sc
cured when a three-fourths ration of
corn was fed along with the pasture
Still there was not a gradual decrease
in the daily gains as the amount of
grain was reduced, as the hogs which
received the one-fourth ration of corn
made larger gains than did those
