Southern cattlemen will en- deavor to secure the e-establish- ment of state rangers at the com ing session of the legislature. Stockmen have lost hundreds of dollars worth of range stock dur. ing the past year because of their inability to protect it from rustlers. The ranger law was repealed by the 25th legislature more out of spite than for any good legitimate reason. Salt River valley did not need the law as they had little stock needing protection, and by the machinations of the members from Maricopa county, the rest of the state was made to suffer. The selfishness of the act was plainly apparent shortly after it was done. It is to be hoped that the coun- ties where protection is needed, which includes most counties of the state, will get together and demand a ranger law.

 Market Letter for the Past Week.
Kansas City Market Letter
(sy J. A. Rlckart, oOrrespOndent)

IT, IoI2--Cattle receipts here last week were 31,ooo head, nearly Io,o ,ooo more than came in the previous week, but buyers took them readily, with net advance of IS to 25 cents on killing cattle for the week. Thursday was an off day for the market, sales that day ranging weak to IS lower, but the situation cleared Friday, leaving the net advance indicated. Fleshy feeders held steady, not because of any rush for them from country buyers, but mainly on account of competition from packers for them. Stock cattle declined 10 to IS cents, and stock cows and heifers closed 25 to 40 cents lower than ten days ago. Veal calves made skyrocket flight the first of the week, tops selling at SIS, but they came down after Wednesday,, best barely reaching s % at the close of the week, The run today is 7ooo cattle here, including 1000 quarantine cattle. Chicago is over-supplied today, and prices there lower, but it had no effect here, the stuff selling actively at strong prices. The Western Un- ion circulated a report this morn ing that stock shipments from every direction except east would be greatly hampered within next few days, and this week promises to be another lean one at the live stock market in the west, This, of course, has injected strength into the situation today. But aside from out influences, the market on all kinds of live stock seems to be on a firm foundation at this time. Top steers sold at S.oo today, bulk at 6.oo to 7.4o, top quarantine steers 6.oo, sugar beet steers from the Nebraska Wyoming line at 6.65. Good 700 to 8oo ID. stock steers may be had at 5.25 to $50.
 All classes ot hogs made gains last week, ranging from IS to 35 cents. Heavy hogs continued to sell at the top, but light weights advanced on them, selling up to within 5 cents of the leaders dur ing the week. Pigs made the largest gains, closing at a range of 500 to $50. A double deck of 100 lb. pigs was sent to In. diana, at 5.35, last week. Run today is 8ooo head, and the market is 5 higher, top 6.7o, bulk of sales GAS to 6.65, which is the best it has done this year. Sharp ad- vances may be expected later this week.
 Sheep and lambs followed the general trend of other kinds of live stock last week, higher till Thursday, then drop, but clos ing the week strong. Run is 6ooo here today, market strong to 10 higher, top lambs at 7.o5, ewes at 5.Io. The feeding sta tions around us are expected this week. Sugar beet ewes from western Nebraska sold at 4.oo and 3.Io here today. Wethers are worth up to 5.3o, yearlings 6.oo.

COT OPERATE F0RGooD SEEDS
Necessary Special Cultivation to Sc
cure Best Results Obtained by
Farmers Workhg Together.

(By G. r. BARNS Minnesota Experiment
s$ StatiGH.j 49, O.
Another form55f cooperation among
farmers, through which large benefits
may otter be secured by the use of
limited amount of capital, is in the
raising selection, purchase and dis
tributDn of good seed for staple
crops, such as corn, wheat, oats and
potatoes. Such cooperation does not
contemplate the doing of general
business in seeds That is the prov
tnce Of the scotsman, and he is too
valuable factor in the development
of progressive agriculture for any
one to dream Of superseding him. But
the farm itself is the natural source
of seed supply for the main crops
which are to be planted on the farm,
and cooperation looks simply to the
best utilization In the cost OF procur-
Ing, selecting and distributing seeds.
The planting of seed plots with spe-
cial varieties of corn and other crops,
and the special cultivation necessary
to secure the best results, may often
be best carried on by number OF
farmers working comparatively; and
their association, acting as a distr1but-
Ing agency, will both facilitate sales
and lessen the cost of seeds to its
members. Then, too, cooperation
does away with the absurdity Of keep
ing corn-sheller and a fanning-mill
or grain-separator on every farm,
when a single tirst-class machine OF
each kind, operated by man who
makes such work speciality, will do
the work quicker, better and more
economically.
An example of this kind of cooper
alive effort is afforded by the Farm
ers' Corporation" OF Minnesota. which
has recently added seed department
to its other cooperative activities. 1t
had already, UP to the early part OF
November. contracted with the farm
ers in its membership for 1000 BUSH
els of the different kinds of corn
grown in that locality

INCREASE PROFITS IN GRAIN
Cooperative Companies in Nebraska
Show Better Prices Have Been
Secured for Grain.

Reports from the cooperative grain
companies all over Nebraska show uni
formly large profits for the stockhold-
ers, and this after paying from two
to three cents more per bushel Tor
grain than the old line elevators have
been doing. This benefits not only
those who sell to the farmers COM
panies, but every man within trading
distance of the cooperative elevators.
The increase goes into the pockets OF
the men who raised the grain, which
is lust where 1t should go. At the re-
cent meeting of the Cedar Creek
Farmers Elevator company, which is
located near Plattsmouth, Neb., a divi-
dend of 16 per cent. was declared and
the report showed more than 100000
bushels of grain handled during 1911.
If only two cents more than old line
prices was paid per bushel this alone
would mean $4,000 for the grain grow
ers Of that section, not counting the
increased prices that the old line buy
ers were compelled to pay in order to
compete with the farmers company.
