BREEDING UP FRAN HERDS.
American Royal Shows the Farmer
What's Profitable to Use.

The most striking development in
the live stock business of the past de-
cade has been the tendency to raise
stock cattle on the feeders farm. 1t is
upon this fact, as well as upon the bet
ter appreciation of the value of pure
bred blood, that the prospect is based
for expansion in the purebred breed
ing industry. Every year more farm
ers are buying high class bulls and
COWS with which to improve their
herds and with which to start new
herds, and so the necessity becomes
more urgent on the man who has not
yet made his start.
An important service of the Ameri-
can Royal Live Stock show, which will
be held in Kansas City October 8 to IA,
has been the display to the stockmen
and farmers of the best cattle of the
various breeds, whereby they have
been able to know what to buy for
breeding stock. And each year the
sales of the Royal have put on farms
that never had high class animals,
breeding animals that in succeeding
years have profitably improved the
products of those farms. The Royal
has been looked upon as fulfilling this
mission adequately, because the great
est breeders of the whole cointry ex-
hibit there, and each state and section
sends its best.
The Royal performs the same serv-
ice as to horses, swine, sheep, goats
and poultry, for the breeders of these
classes of stock can see there just what
are considered the most profitable
characteristics in the kinds of stock
and can buy animals on the spot, or
make arrangements TO get breeding an
imals that will bring his herds up to
the desired profitable standard. The
mule show gets its relation to the pure.
bred features of the show through the
draft horse section.

BABY BUMBEENO IS COMING
Only American Born Giraffe With
Barnum and Bailey Menagere.

The only American born giraffe will
be seen in Vinita on September q,
with the Barnum and Bailey Greatest
Show on Earth. His name is Bum
beeno. He is one year old and worth
his weight in gold.
Bumbeeno made his appearance in
the winter quarters of the circus at
Bridgeport, Conn, as the show was
preparing to start on it's annual tour.
He came all unexpected. The idea Of
a giraffe being born in captivity was
abandoned many years ago In 1916
the stork of giraffeland made his ap-
pearance in the London geological ger
dens. The birth at Bridgeport is the
second event of the kind. Scientific
animal breeders spent fortunes trying
to coax the wise old stork to their
giraffe pens. Long ago they gave up
their attempts.
Bumbeeno is the pet of family of
five. His Uncle John is very fond of
him. His father dotes on him. His
mother is the vainest thing in the
|menagerie. Faith is rated in the circus
credit book at $4,000. Mother is
worth at least $4,000 more than that.
Uncle John is quite aluable But
Byby Bumbeeno is worth more .han
the whole family, with II parcel of eIe-
phans and camels thronwn in.
Giraffes are very valuable because
Ithey are fast becoming extinct They
are found in the forests thot hug the
equator in Africa. Hunters have driven
them so far into the ihe4ri)r that only
occasionally is one found. TEey are
very hard to capture without injury
and very often die Oh the sea yoyagle.
The menagerie of this c.rcus is 4
complete zoo, with not specimen
missing. The student of natural his
tory will find the hour devoted to this
department of great valle. Among
the 1900 animals CT exhibition are
forty elephants, thirty Cdmels and
dromedaries, twenty llamas. and nerds

bi-horned rhinorecos in captivity, a
man-like chimpanzee orang-outangs
water buffalo, caribous, seals, sealioDs
pecaries and wart hogs.
The expense of maintaining this
menagerie is immense. Tie collec
tion was acquired gradually through
the efforts of circus trappers and hunt
ers. This show does not depend on
the animal agencies for its specimens
Many of the queer creatures have to
be fed on imported feed. The giraifes
are the hardest to care for It IS nee
essary to feed them quite often on a
peculiar moss that grows only OH the
barks of certain trees in the African
jungle Men have to be sent there fol
this moss as it cannot be bought
Other animals are just as particular
Great care must be taken of them
Every day 1900 pounds of vegetables
and 1000 pounds of meat are coDsuln
ed in the zoo. The elephants eat hay
oats and bran in large quantities.

Riekart, Correspondent.


Kansas City Stock Yards, Sept. II.
Cattle receipts last week were
slightly larger than in the previous
week, but were still far below the run
same week year ago. Cattle are
doing well on pastures now, and own
ers are holding back Colorado and
the west particularly are running
short of year ago at this time These
conditions would seem to point 10
heavy runs late this month and IN
October, but there are those who say
the total supply for this fall is short,
and that it will come along gradually.
and not be felt in any excessive sup
ply at any time Owners have been
waiting also for an advance in the
market, or at least, for prices a little
firmer than those prevailing the last
few weeks Middle and upper grades
of killing steers made a small advance
last week, but quarantines sold a little
lower. and stockers and feeders quit
the week in bad shape. The run to-
day is $4,000 head, including 1000
calves, which is more in line with
usual September Monday runs than
heretofore Prices are steady to 10
lower today, the best killers holding
steady Top natives brought $500 to-
day, yearlings $775, short fed steers
$5.75 to 1925. Native pastures cattle
are not nearly as good quality as in
recent weeks, and the best rarely get
above $500 Quarantine supplies are
running double those of a year ago,
but are decreasing each week, 80 cars
in the southern division here today,
steers steady to 10 lower, at $400 to
.$525. Thirteen cars of Colorado
steers, from Debeque, were here last
week, 1924 lbs, at $500 and $495.
Steers of same brand and from same
range sold at this time last year at
$465, and weighed 1147 lbs Butcher
grades sell steady today COWS $500
to $5.25, including Gamers, bulls $500
to $44O calves $3.50 to $775. Stock
ers and feeders declined 10 to 25 cents
last week, slow steady today, stock
ers $3.50 to $5.25, feeders 1925 to
$685..
Hog supplies are increasing, which
affords packers opportunity to enforce
declines. The low spot recently was
touched the middle of last week, but
as supplies have run smaller since
then prices have recovered a little
Run is 5000 here today, market strong
to higher, top $7.35, bulk of sales
$40 to $3.50. No very great increase
in receipts is expected before the early
winter, ard it looks like present values
should hold good, particularly in view
of the fact that they are two dollars
lower than year ago at this time.
Sheep and lambs are running to
market in extremely great numbers
from the northwest and prices are
tumbling. Chicago and Omaha are
overloaded every day, the former mar
ket having 10000 today, and Omaha
$4,000. These conditions make a very
mean market for sellers. Run here to-
day is 10000, and while supplies at
this point are fairly heavy, they are
nothing like the runs at northern
points, and the stuff can be moved
easily here. Prices are steady here
today, best lambs worth $3.50, year
lings $425, wethers $3.50, ewes 1885,
breeding ewes 1915 Feeding lambs
bring up to $5.25, ana feeding sheep
sell in line with killers.

METHODS FOR ERADICATING
INJURIOUS BITING INSECTS
md Warfare Must Made Against
Pests-Arsenate of Lead May be Purchased
Prepared Quite Convenient
Use-Other Recipes

(By GLENN w. HERRICK, Mississppi)
There are many kinds of insects
that poster the farmer and fruit grow
err and all of them, taken together,
may be divided into two great groups
dependent upon the kind of mouth
parts they have and the manner in
which they attack plants. The in
sects of one group have jaws and bite
off bits of plants and swallow them.
They are known as the biting insects.
The members of the second group
have bill or sucking tube which
they insert into the tissues of plants
and suck out the juices. These are
the sucking insects.
The grasshopper is a familiar ex-
ample of the first class of insects, for
1t has biting mouth parts, composed
of two pairs of jaws, one of which
is hard and black and easily seen with
the eye. With these jaws the grass
hopper bites off pieces of leaves,
stems, etc, and swallows them much
as a COW or horse would do. Very
many insect pests have biting mouth
parts like the grasshopper and eat
parts of plants. For example, the
caterpillars, or worms" on cotton,
tomatoes, cabbage, etc, the June bugs,
fig-eaters, potato bugs. etc. All such
insects are known as the biting in
sects.
1t is plain that an insect that bites
off pieces of leaves and swallows
them stands a relatively high chance
of being killed by putting some pois-
onous substance upon the leaves be-
fore they are eaten. 1t is absolutely
necessary to know what kind of an
insect is causing the inJury-whether
1t is n biting or sucking insect. This
is the first point to determine.
Probably Paris green is one of the
best known poisons for biting insects.
1t is rather expensive, difficult to
buy unadulterated and is quite liable
to burn the foliage of plants If applied
too strong.
. 1t can be applied dry as follows:
/ pound of Paris green.
25 pounds of slaked lime or flour.
The two should be thoroughly
mixed and may be sifted on the
plants from a thin muslin sack, prefer
ably in the morning while the dew is
yet on.
Paris green may also be applied in
water, which We believe is n better
method than the dry one for most
plants. Quick lime is added to pre-
vent burning of the foliage and the
poison is used in the following pro-
portions:
1 pound of Paris green,
200 to 300 gallons of water,
8 pounds quick lime.
Stake this lime in little water and
add the Paris green. Stir thoroughly
