MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, June Is,
1912 The leading markets we're we'll
supplied with cattle yesterday, except
that Kansas City had a light run, yet
the total for the day at all the mar
kets fell ten thousand head short of
the same day year ago. At those
where the run was largest buyers
secured some small concessions, but
place was easily found for every
thing, and at Kansas City cattle in
the native division sold stronger.
Receipts Of quarantine cattle here
footed up $50 car loads yesterday,
and some of them sold ten lower.
Statesmen took secure hold of the
situation again today and everything
is selling strong to 10 higher. Two
loads of big Missouri steers sold at
S9.42 here today, and quite string
of heifers and yearling steers sold
at $500 to 5000. A number of
loads of Colorado steers sold yester-
day at 1856 to $500. Quarantine
cattle to the number of 12O car loads
came in today, containing a large
share of good to choice cake fed steers
from North Texas, weighing HOO to
1900 pounds, at S7.25 to S8. 90 Okla
homa cattle are starting a little this
week, dealers say these cattle will come
right along now if conditions at the
markets remain favorable. Otherwise
they will stop, as they are in strong
hands, who will engage in no stam-
pede. Butcher stuff is at the highest
point yet reached A single COW
brought S7.75 today. Veals continue
to be the real bargains, best at ss.O
this week. Shockers and feeders are
firm, though scarce, top feeders
around $3.50, stock steers sc. 25.
Hog supplies here last week aggre-
gated 1000 head but from that total
25, 900 should be subtracted to arrive
at the number direct from county
shippers The difference noted rep
resents the number of animals
bought on other markets by packers
here, and shipped here for slaughter,
which tells of the shortage in Kansas
City territory. Not so much import
ing is being done this week, hence
the drop in receipts, 1000 head here
today, market to 10 higher, top 81. so,
bulk s7.2O TO s7.45.
The sheep and lamb market has
lost all Its spectacular features of late,
and is travelling in a groove truly like
unto the nature of the ovine animals.
Native lambs have sold in the same
notch every day for nearly a
week, including today, 50. rs for tops
Arizona, New Mexico and Texas NUT
tons bring "a. is to $500, and native
ewes s4-00 TO s4.25. Run today is
5000 head

Stick to the Cow

Do not infer from the suggestion in
the title of this article that you are
not to stick to other things as we'll as
to the COW, but in my judgment too
little attention is given to the COW as
one of the chief means of support of
the average farmer and stockman in
Ness county. While the stock COW
is valuable animal on the farm, the
purpose of this article is to emphas-
ize the value of the milk COW as the
surest factor in supplying daily
bread in the home.
The Ness county farmer with an
average sized family-say six-and
who is reasonably good manager
with this and his other live stock, as
we'll as his farming operations, can
milk ten good cows the year around
and from the use of the product
supply his family with necessi ties,
also a sufficient amount of luxuries,
of life
A great many people would be salts
fed with this, but if more is desired
or required, milk more cows 1t is
not necessary to stick to certain
number, as smaller family might do
with a smaller number of cows than
is suggested, and man with an aver
age sized family, with some large
children, can milk more, if the child
rem be small he can milk at least ten
cows himself, and do fair days work
besides.
AS to the breed of cows to use in
this locality, l am willing to take the
advice of Professor Webster, of the
State Agricultural College, who was
formerly connected with the dairy
bureau in the agricultural depart
ment at Washington, who in an ad-
dress before farmers meeting at
Ness City some months ago said to
select the best cows from such as we
have at the present time; and at the
same time he complimented US on
the good quality of all purpose cattle
that we now have.
understood that he was willing to
qualify his advice and say that the
Jersey and Holsteins we're greater
producers of milk and butter fat, but
that they on the other hand, require
more attention, and not being native
to this locality, would not rustic as
well.
If all the farmers had good Jersey
or Holstein herd they probably would
be willing TO give them sufficient at
tention to make them valuable, but
as it takes time to get together such
a herd we had better try what we
have, aud gradually build TO better
standard.
1t must be acknowledged that we
have been passing thru series of
hard years, and the question as to
what to do until we again get good
crops, is getting to be serious one.
The man who has been milking
COWS all this time has been able TO
sell something for cash every week,
can pay his bills and his business is
eagerly sought by both the banker,
and merchant, because he is the
most independent of any class of resi-
dents we have.
Now is a good time to begin, assum-
ing, of course, that many are not now
in this business that could just as

The new homestead bill that passed
the house and senate recently short
ening the time for proving upon
homesteads from five years to three
years. was signed by president Taft
last Thursday and is now a law. The
new law gives a leave of absence of
five months each year. 1t provides
that one sixteenth of the land shall
be in cultivation at the end of the
second year, and one-eight at the end
of the third year. A homesteader
may run the five years as before if he
SO desires, and parties who are now
homesteaders and who have not been
on their land five years may take ad-
vantage of this new law, thus if you
fled on your land two and one half
years ago you may prove up on it in
six months.

by local ppications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucuous
lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is infiamed,you have
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
infiamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.

New York, June 30.-Some sharp fiuctua-
tons in prices of stocks occurred last
week with frequent reversals in the direc-
ton of the movement. The volume of
business was larger than the preceding
week. Speculative opinion retained an I'M
dertone of confidence but it was evident
that no disposition toward extreme views
or excessive commitments was to be in
dulged in. The progress of the democratic
national convention was followed with an
interest as great or greater than the pro-
ceeds of the previous week at Chicago
surmises being acuately alert to fix the
point where the key to the years political
results might be found.
Uncertainty in economic and Industrial
affairs account for irregulayjty in the
speculative index. Probably most atten-
ton was given to the advances in prices
of steel products announced during the
week. The general deduction was MADE
that confirmation was given by this event
of the improved conditions in the great
basic industry. An abrupt reduction in
the London price of refined copper. how
ever, had a rather disconcerting effect on
opinion regarding that market

age yet undisclosed with authority. These
uncertainties are not without effect on
commercial activity.
The arrival of the period of the half
yearly money settlements finds financial
sentiment serene over the outcome. The
special requirement at Berlin Is provided
for by extraordinary measures taken in
advance. Resort to New York, to London
and 1t is believed to Paris has been made
to meet the situation. The expedients used
for the periodical settlement at Berlin
leaves open the inference that the ulti-
mate solution of the conditions has been
deferred, rather than definitely met The
unappeased appetite for capital, In fact,
constitutes the most serio~ m in the
worlds financial problem.
