LIVE STOCK MARKET.

Kansas City Stock Yards, July Is.
Slim cattle supplies boosted prices
25 to 40 cents last week, and the
advance was pretty well held except
on wintered grass cattle, which lost
good part o. the advance by the
close. The crack Greenwood county
cattle lacked finish last week and
showed up bad on the killing sheets
hence the. GOODNESS Of buyers toward
them at the end Of the week. Stock
ers and feeders also lost about all
the bloom acquired the first days Of
the week. The run today is II 900
head and the market is uneven,
stronger on prime cattle, likewise
stockers and feeders, but plain kill
ers, including quarantine cattle, are
steady to Is lower. Missouri again
set the new high figure, the. cattle
coming from a good sized school Of
that class located in Clinton county.
Butler county, Kansas, topped the
wintered variety of grass steers. at
$S.45, with some 1850 pound Green
wood county steers at $500, and
others with less class, 100 pounds,
at $7.75. Buyers were riding hard
for butcher grades Of steers, paying
s7.75 to $S.75 therefor. Quarantines
to the number of 100 car loads ar.
rived, the good ones steady, medium
and common kinds shaded somewhat
from the advance scored last week,
but still bringing highest prices ever
known at this season. Quarantine
steers range from $3.50 to $685. to-
day, top last week $7.15, cows $3.50

COW PEAS ARE A NEW CROP FoF
NEosHo COUNTY

Hundreds Of acres Of COW peas. will
be harvested in Neosho county this
faM. Between Thayer and Galesburg
many farmers have devoted a major
ity Of their acreage to- the growing
Of this crop. Until recently cowpeas
were almost unknown in. this county
During the past twoyears. however.
some Of the lands began to deteri,
crate slightly, so it was suggested
that cowpeas be grown. From an
experiment the growing Of cowpeas
has increased to a regular industry,
many tons being sold for feed to cat.
tie raisers all over the county.

AN IDEAL SUNDAY NEWSPAPER

Recent issues of the Sunday Re-
cord-Herald remind one that Chicago
may fairly lay claim to producing the
best newspapers in the world, not ex'
ceptfng those of New York. The. Sun
day Record-Herald, in foreign news
alone, has it's own special cable SER
vice in addition to those of the New
York Herald, World, Journal of Com
merce: and Associated Press. This
is a fair example of the completeness
of the paper in. every department.
= Aside from the regular news fea-
lures, there is something in the Sun
day Record-Herald for every MEM
Der Of the family. The. sporting
pages, both daily and Sunday. give
the latest authentic news in every
line Of sport. The .woman,s section
is filled with illustrated. articles on
the newest. wrinkles in fashion and
domestic science. "The Peoples In
stitute Of Domestic Economy filling
a whole page every Sunday, is the
newest and best household depart
ment> in any paper. Dame. Curtsey's
Novelties in Entertainment" is a
valued feature. The dramatic and
musical pages. written by James o.
Donnell. Bennett and Felix Borowskf
are admittedly without their, equal in
the West. The array of splendid
special articles. by skilled writer's,
finely illustrated. also is typical Of
the high literary quality of the Re
cord Herald. In the way Of humor
there is the comic colored' supple:
ment for children, besides: s. E: XII
ser's delightful Alternating Cur

But the thing that lifts the Sunday
Record-Hezald most emphatically a

les and articles by the most famous
writers Of our day.. Illustrated by our
celebrated artists. It's recent $4,000.

GRADING CREAM.

The Wisconsin experiment station
has recently issued an interesting
and instructive bulletin on the SUBJ
Sect Of grading cream which is solo
20 creameries. The bulletin starts
with the rather startling statement
mat 81 600 900 a year would be add
ed 70 wisconsin's income II the quail
sty Of the butter made in that state
were Improved e. orgh TO increase
Is value one cent PER. pound. II is
then pointed out that the quality Of
me butter is very largely. governed
oy the quality OF the cream Reserr-
ing to the general opinion that the
quality Of the cream has been de-
eeriorating because Of lack Of care
on the farm. it is suggested that the
trouble In improving this condition
Is largely due to the fact that the
creamery does not discriminate be-
tween clean. sweet cream produced
by the upto-date farmer and the poor
quality Of cream produced by his
careless ueighbor. Both get the same
price per pound of butterfat. and
consequently there, is little induce
ment to produce cream in the high
est condition. To meet this 1t is sug-
gested that -creameries grade the
cream Into first and seconl1 grades
che first grade to be cream which
Ais a clean flavor and contains
less than four per cent acid and not
less than twenty-five per cent fat;
the second grade to be cream which
Ass q fair to good flavor. but more
shan four per cent acid or less than
twenty-five per cent fat: - =.
There is no definite way to deter
mine the FLAVOR Of cream. The buyer
must be guided by his sense Of taste
ana smell. The acidity can be deter
mined with accuracy by applying the.
acid test which is described in the
bulletin. -. -.
Speaking Of the benefits to the
farmer from skimming a :rich cream,
the bulletin calls attention to the fact
that more !skim-milk is! retained on
the farm. there is a smaller. quantity
a. cream. to cool. there are fewer
pans and utensils needed for hand
ling and transporting the cream, and
there is less of it to haul. The cream
buyer. ON the other hand, BENEFITS
from, having rich cream by requiring
less vat capacity for storing and rip
ening, less fuel for heating and less
ice in cooling, the: ability to churn
the. richer cream at a lower. 'tempera-
ture, and better control Of the fla
vor Of the butter: The bulletin con-
tains suggestions. for dairy. men who
desire to introduce the practice Of
buying cream according to its grade.
Referring to one creamery in north
.ern Wisconsin. dt is. stated that the
creamery divided the cream into
two grades! and. paid one-haf cent
per pound more for the butter-fat in

WHAT TO DO WITH THE STRAW,

An Iowa correspondent asks us in
substance whether, II he plowed his
oats ground as soon as possible after
harvest, then returnes the straw TO
the land and then discs 1t in good
shape, this would be as good as ma
nure, and would maintain soil fe:til-
ity..
II would be manure as far as 1t
;oes. but It will net maintain soil fel
tility. It would simply restore to the
land the portion Of the mineral and
vegetable matter that was removed
by the straw. The largest and most
valuable part would be that removed
~ the grain sold off the place.
Furthermore. It would net as a rule
.e practicable. It Is very difficult to
scatter straw. and in a windy ;courr
try or season. 1t would not stay
where dt was deposited. 1t would be
much better than burning It, how
ever. :
The better way. II there is no 9TH
er use for the straw. is to convert 1t
into manure and then haul out the
manure. There. Is really no other
way known to man of restoring soil
fertility than by returning to the
soil what you take from it. in some
form or other. and preferably in the
most practical form. You cannot
maintain your supply of the mineral
elements-potash and phosphorus
without returning in some form the
potash. and phosphorus removed in
Jhe grain. You cam increase the nj
;rogen measureably by growing le-
guminous crops. You can increase the
supply Of vegetable matter by the
use Of barnyard manure. and by grow
ing crops and turning them under,
as. for example, blowing under Glove
or buckwheat. You can, by the appli
cation Of decomposing vegetable mat
ter, hasten the liberation Of the
plant food in the soil, potash and
phosphorus. You can. to. some ex-
tent. render this more available by
the use of lime.
There are a good many things hard
to understand in the world OF ferti-
lizers. but the above. we think, is
clearly within the compreh emsion of
any man. -.
The practice of burning. straw is
wasteful in the extreme. The, soil
needs the vegetable matter as well
as the mineral elements which is con
taiIs.. The practice of stacking the
straw and scattering it.in the winter
SO that it may get the rain and rot
and then hauling it out is laboriolis.
The practice. of baling it and send
ing. it off the farm simply hastens
soil exhaustion:
The best use that can be made of
straw. is to stack it and feed it to
cattle. 'Oat straw is very fair feed.
The waste and the coarser straws
can be used as absorbeEts of the IL
Quid portion of the manure .in- the
stable. This, involves some kind Of
live stock farming; but the, sooner
we get our minds. Settled on engaging
in some kind Of live stock farming
that meets, our requirements. or.
rather. the. requirements Of which
we can meet. the better it will be. no
we cam meet. the better it will be
not merely for the Individual farmer.
but for. the. whole agricultural COM
