People grumble about hand times and
keep on paying out thousands of dol
lars for food that they should raise.
Six rows, thirty feet long, in a town
lot in central Kansas produced enough
potatoes for a small family from
August to january. In 1910, however,
this same plot produced twenty four
bushels Of good potatoes.
Why not a statewide movement for

should not every farmer give more at

staple food? Why not set aside a

LIVE STOCK MARKET.

Kansas City Stock Yards, April l.
More seaSonable weather last week
permitted shipped to land more cat
tie ON the market than they have
been able to do for some weeks past,
but at that there was not enough
came in to put even a dent in the
market. Receipts here amounted to
q 900 head for the week, which was
an increase of five thousand over
the previous week, but it was six
thousand head less than same week
last year. March closed with a short
age of thirty thousand cattle here,
from last year, and the market has
received a substantial uphf during
the month. Middle class steers and
butcher grades have taken on most
of the gain, the best steers standing
about like a month ago. Quarantine
steers look half a dollar higher than
the first of March. The supply today
is only 5000 head hene, including fif-
teen loads of quarantines. Weather
explanations do not answer for the
slim run today, but it has soldified
the feeling that the country is bare
of supplies. Chicago expected $4,000
head today, but got only threefourths
of that number Naturally buyers an
uneasy, and it is not difficult to coax
them into paying strong to Is higher
prices for cattle today. 1t is fortu-
nate that the supply was light today,
as buyers are complaining Of the
meat outlet, and were prepared to
administer a severe slap on the wrist
today had plentiful receipts arrived
Top steers sold at 1915 today, against
$500 paid last Tuesday, other steers
at $500, and bulk at $3.50 and up
wands, quarantine steers at 1915 to
$500, cows up to s6.25, heitersI $500,
stOckers at $500 to s6.25, feeders
$3.50 to $3.50.
The markets have begun to show a
shortage in hog receipts, all Of them
falling off heavily in March, as com
pared with same month last year.
The big bulge in prices during the
month is the direct result, and the
market is still going up. There was
only one setback last week, and new
records we've set today on all kinds.
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1912-04-05

Tops sold at $500, and bulk of sales
ranged from $3.50 to $685.. While the
advance Of $l.25 to s1.4O made dur
ing March is not expected to be du-
plicated in April, yet further gains
are expected above the present high
range.
Sheep receipts continue fairly lib
enal, though somewhat less than at
this period lest year. Prices nemain
firm, closing last week with some
advance. and opening today fully
steady with the high level reached.
Eighty pound lambs sold at s785 to.
day, rs pound lambs at $40, 81 ID.
lambs at $3.50, and some SO pound
choice spring lambs at 1880. The
market for spring lambs win flatt@
out after this week. Yearaings sold
at $3.50 this morning, some 1oS pound
wethers at sS.25, and ewes are worth
up to $5.75. Supply is $4,000 here
today. The situation looks firm.

MILK MUST BE CLEAN.

Milk is one Of the principal carriers
Of disease germs. 1t is impossible to
keep it free from germ life, but with
care the danger can be greatly re-
duced.
As a rule, the largest number OF
germs finds a way into milk during
milking. The mixer usually nests his
head ON the cows flank directly above
the pail, thereby letting dirt, scurf
and hairs fail trom the COW into the
milk pail The cow probably has been
standing in a mudhole'in the pasture,
and the udder, body and tail are COW
cred with dirt and filth, and Of course
I the spores and germs from the stag
nant water In the pasture are brush
ed off during milking and drop into
the milk.
One only has to take casual glance
at Sthe strainer, after the milk has
passed through, to see the straws,
the hairs, and the dirt, all Of which
are teeming with germ life. 1t has
been found that one4haf Of the i'm
puritieS go into solution before the
milk reaches the Stratner. The rem
edy for this is 10 reduce the time be
tween the milking and the straining
Contamination, however, does not
come only from the cow, but from tn
mixer, from his clothing, the
strainers, receptacles for holding and
COOLING milk, and from the pail itself.
All utensils should be thoroughly
sterihzed, and the mixers clothing
and hands be clean. The udder
should be thoroughly washed before
the milk is drawn. The barn should
be web ventilated and lighted. As
Stunning that the COW is in a heakhful
condition, as all milk COWS should be,
the next consideration is the feed, The
general care, and the surroundings.
Pure milk can be obtained only by
proper feeding. The water supply
should be pune.
As soon as milk Is drawn it should
be stirned and cooled. The cooler the
milk, the less active the bacteria. At
ter it is strained it should be covered
BY no means should any one suffer
ing from contagious disease, OF one
who has been caring for diseased
person, be allowed to go near the
stable or milk room, or to handle
milk utensils.
Contaminated water containing ty-
phoid bacilli sometimes is used in
cleaning or rinsing the utensils, and
the disease is thereby communicated
to the consumers along the milk
route. 1t should be remembered that
milk is am excellent medium for the
growth of disease bacteria. The com,
paratively few bacteria carried in a
little water, a speck Of mud, or on
the legs of a fly, begin at once to
multiply and soon reach dangerous
numbers.

HAVE THE STABLE SANITARY.

Windows in a stable make it sani-
tary. Darkness and dampness go
together. Both are harmful to hive
stock. Then, darkness in stables
greatly binders work. A man in a
weh-hghted stable can accomplish
from 25 to so per cent more work
than If he has to labor in a dark one.
Large window should be used in
lighting a stale and they should be
put rather low. None light will be
diffuSed through a large window than
through several small ones. Windows
too high do not admit the light prop
erly, while N they are too low, there
is danger Of breaking the glass.
One OF the best methods Of opening
windows is used in the buildings at
the Kansas State Agricultural College
This is to have them slide downward
with a catch so they can be held at
any point. When the windows are
hung on hinges and open inward they
are more or less in the way and can
be opened only part way. When
made to open outward time is lost,
and it is hand to fastenthem. II they
swing on a pivotal rod in the center,
they admit too much cold air in win
ter. If the windows are made to slide
they work well in summer, but not in
winter. Where the winters ane very
cold double windows are suggested.

DON'T BURN THE STRAW.

Don't throw away your straw. Don't
burn it. Spread it back on the fields.
II adds humuS to the soil and helps
to conserve moisture. One hundred
pounds Of hlmus will hold one hun
dred and fifty pounds Of water, while
an equal weight Of poor, thin soil viii
hold only forty pounds. W. NJ. jar
dine, pnofessor Of agrOnomy at the
Kansas Agricultural College tells how
this straw best may be put back on
the land:
Several methods for scattering
straw may be used. Using the header
barge in windy weather is one way.
Another method is to load the straw
on the barge in big loads in calm
weather and unload IN rows behind
the barge. These rows can then be
scattered some windy day. But the
best way, l believe, is for several
farmers to cooperate. Two or three
header barges and one manure spread
er are required. The spneader Is KEEP
going continually and the barges haul
the straw to it. The straw should be
scattered thinly. 1t can be applied
probably to all kinds Of land"
Wheat straw as a feed is not val
ueleSs, In many places In western
Kansas farmers are Offering 81 a ton
and freight for good straw This food
furnishes a large amount Of energy
in the masticating processes, and this
is Of vital Importance to animals dur
ing the winter. Straw should be fed
with some other food that furnishes
the food elements lacking in straw

SOME GOOD ROADS PROVERBS,

If you want to know if good roads
are a good thing, ask a horse.
Good roads promote prosperity; bad
roads provoke profanity.
If the roads around a town are bad,
it might as well be ON an island.
In considering roads, remember
that there ane few towns that look
SO good to the farmer that he will
kill a horse to get there.
Iii fares the town, to Fastening ills
a prey, where teams turn out TO go
some better way.
Was it In your township that some
ignoramus pulled the sod into the
middle Of the road?
Good roads will Increase health,
happiness, education, religion and
morality.
Good roads will decrease profanity,
disbursement, back taxes, sheriff
sales, sour grapes and grouches.
Improved roads are good trade
mark for any community.
Good roads invoke a blessing upon
any people who build them.
Good roads will keep people in the

HOW ABOUT solLINe2

Some farmers say that to adopt the
soirng method Of feeding means add
ed labor and expense, forgetting that
they cam double the profits with one
hall the land. As for making more
labor. it has been demonstrated that
sDiHng saves labor. To the farmer
Who does his work in a half!hearted
way it may not slve labor, but GER
tainly it viii not make him any more
work, for in amy c2Se the tead mast
be cut and hauled to the BAN.
II farmers are against complete
soihng, the practice of partial snhne
may be tried. This consists in keep
ing the cattle IN lots during the day
feeding them literally with green for.
age, and turning them out to pasture
at night when it Is cool. This prac-
tee Is especially good during the
summer when the heat is excessive
and the flies troublesome This prac
tice also stops the reduction in milk
flow that is so common during the hot
months. Partial soiling is adapted
to the central and western states
while the complete soihng is prac
ticed in the east to a great extent.
When the soihng crop is fed, one
must take into consideration thai
green crops contain large amounts Of
water and in many cases an animal
cannot consume enough Of such foods
to get the proper nourishment. It Is
always advisable, therefore, to feed
some dried food with the green food
Corn silage is fast being adopted by
the soiling feeders. 1t Is considered
by stock feeders to be- next to the
green food itself. 1t can be stored in
the fail and fed through the winter
and If there is amy left it may be fed
during the summer. In fact, mang
dadrymen are using the silage fo1
summer feeding, and say the results
obtained are excellent.
