1t is a safe prediction that within
a few years the summer silo will
come into use on those Kansas farms
where the pasture is not sufficient to
iced the dairy herd Of stock cattle.
Silage put up in the fall when the
harvest is on can be so convenient
" and cheaply provided and so eco
nomicalIy stored that the feeding Of
live stock In summer will become
thoroughly practical. 'Silage from the
summer silo will be fed in hunks es-
peciaNy constructed therfor, so that
the feeding Of Is to rs head Of cattle
night and morning will become an in.
cident only IN farm operations. When
this condition prevails, milk, growth
and meat VIII be produced on Kansas
farms as 1t has not been produced
since the days Of open range. The
summer silo is thing to which we
are coming. 1t must come in Just the
proportion that we are inclined to
the production Of the products Of live
stock and the increase in live stock
products win follow the decrease Of
the acreage famed to grain crops
for market.

MARKET REPORT.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Sept. 8.
Cattle receipts here last week
amounted to 5000 head, including
1000 calves. which was the heaviest
week this season. In spite Of the
large supply and the very warm
weather that prevailed, beef trade
improved during the week, and killer
bought cattle willingly at close to
steady prices. Stock cattle declined
rs cents, getting down in line with
feeders, which suffered a loss Of rs
to so cents the previous week. Move
ment to the country again exceeded
10000 for the week. This week Is
starting out today with a run Of 3d.
900 cattle here, and the estimate for
tomorrow Is 10000 head. Kansas Is
the leading contributor today, grass
natives selling at $500 to $3.50. The
market is steady on the best cattle
today, uneyenly lower on Others,
stockers and feeders weak today. A
string of Old Mexicos In the Quaran-
tine division brought $4.25 today.
same as the $40 cattle last Friday.
Prime natives would bring around
$1,000, though the top today Is $10.25
Some fed westerns sold at $10.25 to-
day also. Supply Of quarantine cat
tie today 100 cars. indicating the
windup Of the season on that kind,
sales Of steers at $4.25 to $3.50. Col
orado beef steers sold late last week
at $685. to $500, COWS and heifers
$500 to $3.50. While the country de
mand is sufficient to clear away
the good run in prospect for this
week, there will be apt to be price
concessions on country kinds that
will make it a good week to buy.
Hogs arrived to the number Of
5000 today, market 10 higher, tor
sS.S5, bulk $3.50 to $3.50. Dealers are
reconciEed to light runs ahead and th
market should stay up. Missouri has
only 81 percent of an average mum
Der of hogs on feed. Kanass is nc
better and Oklahoma is far below
: that.
Sheep and lambs advanced Is to g
cents last week, and are selling
steady today, though there is a Lib
eral run today, 10000 head. Utal
lambs sold at $500 and $40 thil
morning, and ewes at $500. Bulk o
the stuff is range stock fit to kill
though probably 20 per cent of arriv
ais run to feeding stock, lambs a
500 to $40, wethers around $500
breeding ewes up to s4.25, feeding
ewes $2.75 to 1925.

Did you ever see a baby elephant
running a race around hippodrome
track of a circus with a pony?
The chances are that you have
never seen an act of this kind be-
cause it Is one of the new ones in
troduced by the Sells-Floto Circus
this year and was imported from Eu-
rope especially for this season at no
small cost. Now, when the circus ar
rives here on Thursday, September
10, you must certainly come over and
see this laughable performance even
If otherwise you have that tired feel
ing regarding they Of the tinsel and
saw-dust.
"Muggsy" is the elephants name.
He is a little chap II months old,
and was brought from India last
winter and trained in the big hippo
drome at Hamburger. He is said to be
the most apt pupil which has ever
graduated from that great school Of
animal training. He can show speed
that would make the average race
horse ashamed of himself. His op-
ponent in this event is little Sun
day." the smallest horse in the
world, and to see these two straining
every nerve for supremacy is really
one of the most entertaining, and at
the same time ridiculous, features
ever introduced under a big top"
On the morning that the big cir
Gus arrives here the usual parade will
be given at 1920 o'clock.
1t should be especially noted that
the Sells-Floto people still adhere to
their policy Of popular prices, and
that the general admission fee of
twenty-five cents admits to the me-
nagerie and the performance in its
entirety. The regular ticket wagons
will be opened on the grounds as
early as 9 o'clock.

a BAD HABIT.

There is always a temptation to
abuse a rented place. just because it
isn't yours. You are there today and
gone tomorrow, why not take all you
can out OF the land and put as 1T
tie as possible back? What If the
soil does get run down? What If the
barn suffers from neglect? What If
the fences are toppled over? They
aren't yours, why not abuse them?
For three reasons. In the first
place, it won't be so profitable for
you If you do. Abuse does its work
quickly. Even in the short period
that you intend to 1--we on the place,
the failure to keep 1t up will show in
your own crop returns.
In the second place, the evil hab-
its that you form on this other mans
place, and the habits that your child
rem are forming, will rise up to curse
you when one day you are settled on
on a place Of your own. No one
ever does a wrong who does not pay
It's full price In habits Of sloth and
shiftfulness, and loss of seI-re.
spect.
Finally, 1t doesn't do to get a rep
utation for earelessness in respect to
the rights and possessions OF others.
Such reputation travels faster than
railroad trains; you find 1t already
established IN the new community to
which you have fled to escape it. II
forbids friendships, murders credit
undemines seK-respect and makes
life a fight instead Of a proud
achievement.-Farm Press.

Diversified farming will result in
distributing the labor throughout the
entire year and so furnish a more
uniform amount Of work. Diversified
farming will to a very great extent
eliminate the extreme rush of a few
months during the summer. It will
result in a busy summer, neverthe-
less. 1t will also result in a busy
winter, because there will be live
stock to feed and take care Of. Un-
der a diversified plan the care given
1--we stock in the fall and winter will
enable the farmer to convert the win
ter time into a kind of labor which
can be converted into cash, whereas
under crop farming the fall and win
ter is a period of comparative idle
ness.

BEWARE THE sILAeE CUTTER.

Within a few weeks the silage cut
ter and the corn shredder will be
reaping their harvest of fingers,
hands, arms. and human lives-a har-
vest that we could well afford not
to reap. While there is a persistent
effort on the part of manufacturers
to safeguard this dangerous cutting
machinery, there is room for much
improvement. Safety devices could
be made automatic. There are two
main sources Of danger in machinery
of this kind, one the catching Of the
hand or arm, and the other the burst,
ing of the mechanism by being run
empty at high speed. The machine
should be made in such a way that il
is automatically stopped or reversed
when the hand is caught. And 1t
should be equipped with an automat-
ic governor which will slow it down
when run empty.
Until this machinery is made fool
proof to the greatest possible extent,
keep the fools and careless men and
boys from it. Put a leUeIheaded mai
at the feedboard and don't distract
his attention from the business al
hand. Practically every accident with
this kind of machinery is due to purt
carelessness.-WaIlace's Farmer.
