Penney Interested in Beef Production

What is regarded as a unique departure
in railroad agricultural work IL the in
auguration by the Pennsylvania Railroad
of campaign in the interest of beef pro-
duction. Following up this new activity
the company has just issued pamphlet
entitled Beef Production in Pennsyl-
vania."
An extensive list of agricultural publ
cations IS now being distributed by the
Freight Department of the Pennsylvania
Railroad. Among the latest issued are:
Essentials of Soil Fertility" "Alfal-
fa;' Orchard Development; Potato
lCulture;" seed Grain Suggestions"
Use OF Dynamite on the Farm" Farm
ing Possibilities Of the Delaware Mary
Virginia Peninsula" Good Roads
at Low Cost"
The railroad announces that 1t is not
its intention in any way to encourage
the feeding of beef cattle at the expense
of maintaining dairy herds. 1t is greatly
interested in the development of its
milk traffic, having as recently as Novem-
Der 1, 1911, established department
special y for that purpose. On many
farms here an abundance of forage OBJ
tains, farmers might flsl it advantage
Gus to undertake the feeding of cattle
for market, in addition to milk produc-
ton, resulting in direct profit from the
marketing of the cattle as well as in
creas.ng the fertility of the land.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, 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
a 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.
We give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

Kansas City Stock Yards, June 4,
1912. The weakness that has been
evident in the cattle market for the
last week developed into a positive
decline to-day, touching all kinds
Two loads of black cattle, as good as
they make them, sold at SO. Is to-day,
but outside of these, the best sale
was at $500. The mates of the
cattle at $50 to-day brought So. 20
eight days ago, indicating a decline
of thirty cents in the interim. There
are good many we'll finished cattle
here to-day, and as the outlet for
high quality beef IS narrowing down,
buyers seized the chance to spread
out the decline that has been confin-
ed to middle grades over the whole
list Quarantine cattle are selling
Is to p lower to-day than yesterday,
with tops around $500. The two
day supply of quarantine cattle here
is~l61 car loads, about one half, of it
good to choice caked steers from
North Texas, weighing 100 to 1900
pounds, and selling at So. IS to S8.05.
The balance is nearly all grass cattle
from South Texas, at 800 to $685., a
few that have had cake up to $3.50,
steers, around 1925. Grass cattle
from Oklahoma and Kansas will now
start freely for some weeks yet.
Stock and feeding cattle are weak,
the best stock steers up to Sc, so, most
sales at $500 to So Is, feeders St. 90 to
$3.50, Receipts at the markets are
running behind wear ago, but high
prices are actingsas a stop order on
consumption.
The country evidently tired of
exerting itself TO ship hogs to buyers
who proved themselves an unapprecia-
i've lot last week Reduced supplies
this week are selling stronger, though
there was an attempt made this
morning to/turn prices downward
again. The run to-day here is only
10, 500 head, market about steady, top
S7.65, same as yesterday, bulk S7.35
to $3.50. Country conditions are
against heavy shipping at this time,
because of field operations, and deal
ers are looking for a liberal supply
comparatively, later in the month.
Sheep and lambs declined Is to =;
cents yesterday, and the market is
that much or more lower again to-
day. Dealers cannot figure it out o I
a reasonable basis, and hence they
look for a rather quick recovery

How conditions change people and

in this neighborhood was As years old;
last year at a party he gave his age as
35, but when poll tax time came
around this year he was 81. Say, how
would you like to get five years older
every year9 Would you enjoy living
that fast? As for US we are getting
old fast enough as it is. o truth,
how rare.

1t has fallen to the lot of the writer
to travel over this western country
considerably during our years in the
newspaper work, and without any at
tempt to idly fiatter the people of
Grainfield, we believe it can truth
fully be said, according to the size of
their little city, there is none prettier
and more nicely kept than theirs.
The town is one of the cieaneSt we
ever saw and great many trees have
been planted which adds SO much to
the appearance of town. The
business which is represented there
is on a good safe and sane basis, the
men who are in business, are men
who are so conservative and careful
in their dealings that they have won
the confidence of the people. The
town is well represented by churches
and has an excellent school with
prospects of a High School in the
future. 1t possesses one of the finest
Opera Houses between Salina and
Denver The streets are nice and wide
and the town site was admirably laid
out. There are many pretty houses
with blue grass lawns and large shade
trees. The future for Grainfield
should be bright and we predict that
with the class of people that live
there it will some day be a good, big,
fiourishing western Kansas town.
