LIVE STOCK MARKET.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Aug. 26,
Cattle receipts here last week were
1000 head less than in the previous
week, but outside of steers that sold
above $S.25, TIC market slumped off
10 to 40 cents. Butcher grades we're

stockers and feeders found free out.

week end sales of picked over stuff.
Packers complain that beef is hard
to sell at present prices, except to
those people who do not stop to fig
ure what anything costs. Top grades
Of killing steers are therefore con-
sddered safe. The supply today is
2l.OOO head here and fairly heavy
elsewhere, and the market is weak to
10 lower on killing cattle below the
first grade. No fancy cattle are here
today, only the best reaching $3.50,
though the quotation of $1,000 for
strictly prime corn fed steers, paid
here last Wednesday, is still opera
tive on that kind. Quarantine re-
ceipts today amount to 5000 head,
highly mixed as to quality, the bulk
selling lower, with a top of 1925 on
steers. Cows in that division are
steady, at 1915 to $500. Country
buyers purchased $4,000 cattle here
last week, largely at strong prices.
They complain that yearlings are
scarce, owners Of same evidently con-
sidering them good property. in view
Of the threatening shortage of cattle
ahead Feeders bring up to $500,
and stock steers sell at $3.50 to
1915. The yards are full of lockers
today, who may become buyers later

FOR EETTER ROADS.

bow gone into the legislatures, where
measures for state aid are being

handy implement. In the spring and

we see them almost everywhere,
standing in the yards or along the

believe the answer is that their use

they must be used at a time when

those In charge Of the experiment 10
that 1t may pay those growing LANCE
acreases Of tomatoes to secure their
seed BY crossing. two distinct varis
ties
The explanation given as to. why
the beneficial results Of crossing an,
parent In the fist generation do not
appear strongly in the following gener
atoms is interesting. 1t Is on the ha,
Sis Of Nendel's' Law. In its simplicity
this law means that plants and ami
mails inherit their characteristics not
in blended way; but instead, By
units. Tallness In tomato plants hap
pens to be such a unit. Strong stems
and vigorous leaves also seem to be.
So 1t may happen that when a, varie-
ty OF tomato like the Stone, which
grows tall, and another variety like
the Dwarf aristocrat, which grows
short and stocky, with vigorous leaveii
when two such varieties are cross
ed, the result is a croSsibred tomato
oeing tall like the Livingstone, but
with stout stems and vigorous leaveA
like the Dwarf Aristocrat. In other
words, by crossing we may secure. a
combination Of the good qualities Of
both parents. But the combination 10

alton We see Mendel's Law at work.
The characters break up, and some d
the characters are like one plant and
some are like the other, and in only
a few Of the plants is there the
strong combination that was in the
first. .

TOMATO YIELDS INCREASED BY
CROSSING. {

Crossing pure-bred hogs of different
breeds seem always to increase the
vigor and hasten maturity. Govern
ment scientists have demonstrated
that by crossing distinct strains of
corn, the yield may be increased. Both
with hogs and with corn, the favor
able results Of crossing are to be
seen only in the first generation. In
the second and third generations,
mongrel types Of many sorts appear,
which, as a rule. are not equal to
either Of the original parents. The
New York station. at Geneva, has
done crossing work with tomatoes,
which, In its general character. is
similar to the government work done
with corn. A variety of tomato
known as the Dwarf Aristocrat was
crossed with the Livingstone Stone.

TO SAVE THE LAND.

Forty thousand acres of waste land
in Barton county will be reclaimed
for farming within the next few years
II the plans now being worked out
in the office of H. B. Walker. drain
age and irrigation engineer at the
Kansas Agricultural college, are fol-
lowed. Mr.. Walker visited the pro-
posed drainage district last week
the Cheyenne Bottoms near Great
Bend-and was asked to prepare
plans for Kidding these bottoms q
their surplus water.
The area TO be drained is a basin
which, according to an old project,
was to be used for an irrigation res
ervoir. But the irrigation plan WASH t
feasible so it win be drained. The
soil is very rich and will make excel
lent farming land, especially for al
falfa. 1t will be necessary, Mr.. Walk
er says, to excavate nearly two mil
lion cubic yards Of dirt In construct
ing surface drainage bitches and In
changing the course of two small
creeks.
More interest in drainage is being
shown this year than ever before, Mr..
Walker says. On mis- trip last week
he visited the Delaware river drain
age district near Perry where 10000
acres of very rich land is being re-
claimed. The work there consists in
Strengthening 80 miles Of the river
channel which will reduce the length
about 13 miles. One half million GU
bic yards of excavating is necessary.
Everything that obstructs the channel
of this river must go or have coed

speaking, it does not pay to stir the

be gotten rid of by disking and har-

age. @. E. Reed, head Of the dairy
department, says: For that purpose
kafir is better than kane, but not SO
good as corn. Kafir ranks between
the two in nutritive food value, acre
age yield, and its effect on the soil.
Its special advantages over corn are
that it is more drouth-resisting and
yields higher. 1t generally yields
about seven tons to the acre. Com
parative test reports on the use OF
cane, kafir and corn as silage will
be published next spring."

WHAT CRACKS IN SOIL MEAN
prof. w. C.. Palmer.

w. y. I
Cracks in the soil indicate tina,
moisture has evaporated. A good IL
Illustration OF this is flower pot or
can that has been set away with
moist soil in it. When the soil dries
it shrinks away from the sides OF
the pot leaving a space of perhaps
a fourth Of an inch. This Is due to
the soil shrinking as it dries. So when
cracks are seen in the sell big loss
of moisture is going on and that soil
should be stirred. The surface should
have been loosened up before the
cracks formed.
