Why Meat Costs Money

Years ago when the range was free and vast herds could roam at will from one end of the country to the other, without even a thought of a wire fence or quar- antine officer, the grass up to their eyes, labor cheap and grub cheaper-it was profitable to run inferior stock, but the times and conditions have changed, and it is no longer wise to own such stuff. The range is rapidly be- coming settled and fenced up. Labor costs from 25 10 B per cent more and grub, consisting of bacon, beans, sugar, flour and coffee which was ample in the days of the free range has doubled in price and then doubled again. The settling and fencing up of the range and the grabbing of the forest reserves has added one ex- pense after another to the cost of maintaining a flock until today it is enormous. And the man who is running inferior stock finds him. self confronting a condition de- manding immediate attention and earnest thought.

tBy J, A. RIckart, Correspondent,

Kansas City Stock Yards, Oct,
 2I, IoI2. The general cattle
 market advanced 10 to 25 cents
 last week, everything participating
 except veal calves, which lost 25
 to 5 cents, and prime finished
 steers. None of the latter class were received, but they are quo
 table around Io.75 tor best, about quarter under the highest time.
 Country buyers are the backbone of the market, their purchases last week aggregating 35,ooo cattle here. Another heavy run came in today, 2S,ooo head, about one fourth more than anybody ex- pected today. Country buyers have again saved the day for the market, sales ranging steady to ten lower than the best time last week. Killer buyers are rendered harmless by the extraordinary de- mand from the country, else they might be counted on to do effective work in lowering prices. Kansas is still shipping freely, pasture cattle selling today at 500 toS. 50, including Old Mexico grazed in Kansas. Ohio feeder buyers took eight loads of Greedwood county steers at 6.I5 to 6.5o, on which the best bids from packers was Goo to 6. 30. Common cows made the biggest gain in the quarantine division last week. Run there to- day is II6 car loads, selling shade lower steers at 4.25 to 6.oo, cows 3.25 to 500. Thirty cars from Arkansas and five cars from Louisiana are included in quaran- tine receipts today. The Pan handle and Colorado are shipping freely, largely stock steers at $50 to 700, feeders 6.oo to 700, and some mountain beef steers at Goo to 7.5o, cows and heifers 4.25 to Goo. Hogs have struck a rough place, market 10 lower today, following heavy declines last week. Receipts are heavier, but are still far below runs year ago. Top heavy hogs today S.75, middle weights $40 to 8.7o, lights 8.25 to 8.6o. Sheep made a big gain last week, shippers receiving 100 to 200 per car more for consign- ments than they expected when loading. The market is a quarter lower than high time today, supply 30, 900 here today. Lambs bring 6.75 to 7.25, feeding lambs around 6.oo, wethers 3.75 to to 4.5o, ewes }. 50 to 400.

Now, very often nature gives it a slightly
elliptical form. as if, instead of being a
section Of sphere, il were a section of an
oval.
There is, in fact, another form of astig-
matism which is termed irregular astig-
matism,' and which is due to irregularities
on the surface of the cornea caused BY
alterations of that membrane. This can
not be corrected by glasses, and those who
are subject to it will be afflicted with it
all their life.
1t is well to know that the least lesion
of the cornea may lead to grave conse-
quences. And that is the case particu-
larry with children with such a lesion.
They have red and watery eyes and can
not bear the light. This last symptom is
almost Characteristic of a lesion of the
cornea, which must always be csrefully
treated TO avoid serious consequences.

Hence, if the astigmatism is not toe
pronounced and the eye belongs to the
hypermetropic type, the patient may, al

eyesight. But this is often obtained at
the price of great fatigue to the eye and
frequent headaches.

Such cases, therefore, will be accom-
