Why Horses are Popular.

Wealth likes distinction, and gets it
in roadSterS. Wealth likes distinc-
tion," said A. NJ. Thompson, secre-
tary of the American Royal Live
Stock show, which will have five
nights of light harness horse show,
October 9-l3, at Kansas City. "And
it's getting SO such distinction can
not be gained through ownership of
automobiles. But mighty few men
own well-matched teams of horses.
That's one reason our horse show this
year promises to be so much larger
than last, and why the very best
stables in the United States will have
their fine animals in the Royal show
The automobile will soon be in every
homo, but only a few homes will have
the light harness horses that cause
comment
So, while there will be display of
automobiles at the Royal this year,
such display will probably appeal to
the farmer and stockman as do other
departments of the show-as some
thing representing necessity soon
to be filled. And the night light har-
ness horse show will represent his
ideal of luxury.

Entertainment Course

For the season of 1911-12, the COM
mittee is offering eight numbers at
the former price of five. partly be-
cause of the threatened hard times,
but more especially because of the
liberal patronage and support the
course has received in the last seven
years; also because it is probable that
there will be few if any other enter
tainments during the season by
travelling companies. 1t is under
stood. however, that whether sue
ceeding courses shall consist of six,
seven, or eight numbers will depend
upon the patronage given this course
and the fund remaining at. the close
of the season. Here is brief des-
cription of the eight numbers offered
this season.
September 27.-G. A. Gearhart in a
lecture of special interest to young
people, particularly the students of
the county high school, Col. Gear
hart needs no introduction to the

October 12.-Prof. Paul F. Voelker

lures" This, also, is a high school
number but such as will interest and
entertain all thinking people.
October 21.-.The Blue and the
Gray, an evening of humor and his
tory, music and patriotism, by Prof
W. A. Gardner and Hon. Granville
Jones. This may we'll be called ''the
old soldier number and should ap-

ed to make history and to the boys
and girls who study it. Here is some
thing new. Nothing like it has ever
been offered before either here or
elsewhere.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Sept. II,
1911. Some of the big cattle shippers
were disappointed in the market yes
terday, because some sales were 10
lower: or little more, than at the
end OF last week, and several trains
of cattle destined for to-day's market
were stopped As a result, the run is
moderate to-day, 1900 head here,
and the market is steady, a little slow
on some kinds. The policy OF holding
cattle back now, if the stuff is ready
to come, is regarded as questionable
Cattle are rapidly taking on weight
it is true, but there will be frost
sometime in the next few weeks. If
it should be severe frost it will
force big rush for market, and then
the added weight will count for little
against the sacrifice in price. There
has been an enormous shortage at all
the markets combined, in cattle re-
ceiptS, since the first of August, and
prices have not responded as salts
factorily as owners believe they
should. Present prices on all kinds
are 25 to so ceutS under a year ago at
this time, and prospects point to few
er cattle on the markets between
now and the first of the year than
same period last year. The best ma
tives bring $500, short fed steers S.
| rs to S7.25, native pasture cattle S4. rs
to S7.25, quarantine steers $3.50 to
1925, Colorado beef steers LIS to
$3.50, Wyomings $500, Native heifers
today up to S7.00, cows $500 to $500,
including Gamers, bulls $500 to 81. 90,
veals $3.50 to 81. IS, stock steers S3. 30
to S5.25, feeders s4.25 to 1915, stock
cows and heifers, $500 to 81. 80.
! 1t looked like hog values were go
| ing to brace up little yesterday, but
it's all off today. Run is 1000 head
here, market 10 to Is lower, top s7.25,
bulk S7.00 to S7.20. A certain set of
dealers here are willing to bet that
! tops sell down to $3.50 by the middle
of October, but certain others do not
believe this, Feeding of early corn is
said to be killing more pigs than us
ual this year, and hog cholera prevails
to certain extent. The Kansas sta
tion at Manhattan bought car load
of sows here yesterday, all with long
tails, for hog serum manufacturing
purposes. They say the call for serum
has used up all the surplus on hand
at Manhattan
Sheep are holding about steady this
week, lambs also maintaining their
weakened position, though that does
not say much for lambs. Enormous
runs at Omaha and Chicago, from
Wyoming, Montana and Idaho have
injured lamb prices beyond repair,

1t seems that most farmers of Trego
County are not much worried over
the seed wheat question as there was
not much of a turn Saturday after
nooff at the Court House. The Un-
ion Pacific have offered to transport
wheat free of charge and it seems to
us this will make it a lot easier for
the fellows that have had bad year
and did not raise enough wheat for
seed, being able to get the wheat from
the car with transportation charges
and no higher price than the regular
market one makes the proposition are
easier one for the farmer and one he
should take advantage Of
