Stock Market

Kansas City Stock Yards, Jan. Is,
1912 There was a good out let for all
kinds of killing cattle last week, and
the week closed about quarter higher
on most kinds. StoCkers and feeders
did not move with their customary al
acrity, because the severe weather was
most of the f1eshy feeders, endeavoring
10 cheaper their droves of short fed cat
tie, cost Of which is increasing from
week to week, and is arousing strong
protests Old Winter loosened it's clutch
on the West Saturday and yesterday
long enough to allow rather liberal
run of cattle to get here for to-day's
market, y, 600 head, and this supply
landed on a good spot Chicago expec.
ted 24,0C0 to-day, but got only II, 900,
and other markets we're moderately
supplied The stuff here moved readily,
as fast as it arrived, at strong to 10 high
er prices. Numerous lots Of good steers
sold at s. 45 TO $7.85, and this latter
price may be exceeded when the late
trains get il, as 156 cars were backed
at noon Few fed steers sell under $500,
though packers have bought some f1eshy
to SIS 80, heifers to So 80, calves higher
o'day, best IS 25. Four cars 700 lbs.
panhandle stockers sold to-day at $51O
and pretty good stock steers may be
had around $5.25. few fancy feeders
sold to an Iowa buyer last week at $6. 50.
but only few go out at a cost of more
than $5.75
All the markets were rather short of
hogs this morning, SO the IL 900 head
here sold quickly. at cents higher
prices Some light hogs sold 5to 10
higher Top here to-day was So As, only
a fraction under top in Chicago, bulk
of sales here $6.l0 to $6 40. Quality of
the hogs coming is gradually improving,
the average weight last week standing
at 100 lbs. here, eight pounds heavier
than the average for the month of Dec
ember Hog markets have been up and
down, though it seems that prices are
working upward slowly.
Sheep and lambs came in freely last
week, bat packers bought them greedi- |
ly, and the market advanced SO cents
for the week. There was a decline on
Friday, but it counted for nothing, as
the run of 10000 here to-day is selling
back to the best figures. A few lambs
made So. Is last week, and numerous lots
sold at 800 to day, yearlings worth up
to $500, wethers 81 Is. ew es So 25 Deal
ers insist that only choice stuff should
be sent in, as buyers are able to get
plenty of that kind, and neglect poorly
finished stuff.

One Added Kernel Means
2O,OOO,OOO Bushels

Lethbridge, Alberta = If one extra
potato were added to each plant grown
in the United States the actual increase
in the annual yield of the crop would
amount to 21,0OO,0OO bushels. Tie
figure is given in report on 'Dry
Farm Crops and Their improvement" :"
by Prof. F. B. Linfield Of the Montana
agricultural college, and published by
the International Dry Farming Con-
gress in its annual handbook.
'If one kernel we're added to each
head of oats, barley wheat or ear of
corn,'' says Prof: Iinfeld, eve would
nave of oats, 20,0e0,0OO bushels extra,
OF barley, 100000 bushels extra; OF
wheat, 5000, 900 bushels extra, and of
corn, S, ,2O0,0 900 bushels extra. And not
for one year alone, but for all time, this
slight increase in the yeild of the plant
would add many millions of BUSHES to
our crops.
"Clean, plump, selected seed, true
to variety, not mixted, free from weed
seed and from disease and with strong
terminating power should always be
planted by the farmer as a means OF
increasing his own yeild.''

CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
BY A. w. MACY.

THE BATTLE OF THE KEGS.
At one time during the War
of the Revolution some enter
prisinq patriots of BordentoWn,
N. j., fixed up a few torpedoes
in the shape of kegs, and sent
them floating down the river.
They were filled with gunpow-
der, and so arranged mechan-
icaIly that rubbing against an
other object they would explode.
1t was hoped that one of them
might come in contact with one
of the British ships lying at an
chor at Philadelphia, and blow
her up. This hope was not
realized, but they succeeded in
soaring the British IN and
around Philadelphia within an
inch of their lives. One of the
"kegs" rubbed against a block
of floating Ice and exploded,
creating wild CONSERVATION
among the British. For twenty
four hours thereafter they fired
at every object seen moving on
the bosom of the river. This af-
forded great amusement to the
Americans, and Judge Francis
Hopkins, one of the signers of
the Declaration of independence,
wrote ballad about the affair,
in which he poked much fun at
the British. The closing stanza
read thus:
"Such feats they did perform
that day
Against those wicked kegs, sir,
That years to come, if they get
home,
They'll make their boasts ant
and brags, sir"
