Edwin Tyler, for AZ years resi-

his list birthday anniversary last
Thursday. Mr.. Tyler is one of the
best known and most highly esteem
ed citizens OF the county, and his
many warm friends over this section
OF the state Will be glad to know
that he is still enjoying the bles--
sings OF good health, despite his
long and busy life. He is one of the
very few Of the pioneer settlers Of
the county who still remain and it
is to be hoped that it may be his
lot to live for many more years and
observe the same wonderful growth
and development in the county in
the years to come that has been in
the past, and in which growth and
development he was a most active
factor.

FEEDING THE YOUNG CALVES
They Should Be Early Accustomed to
Eating Grain, Grass and Later
In Fall Alfalfa Hay.

Calves dropped in the spring and
early summer should be growing
nicely by the time they are in their
winter quarters. They should be
early accustomed to eating grain,
grass, and later in the fall, alfalfa
or clover hay. It is poor economy
to limit their supply Of roughage, as
1t develops large frames and barrels
and give the appearance Of vigor,
and nothing will aid this more than
clean. wellgrown hay.
The grain ration Is necessary for
steady growth. A ration that is be-
ing recommended. and one that has
been found satisfactory in the north
west, is mixture Of barley three
parts, wheat bran one part, and al.
falfa meal one part. When 1t can
be obtained an additional one part Of
oil meal or soy bean meal may be
used, as It gives tone and finish to
the calves, which are desirable. The
grain should be given in two feeds,
morning and evening.
Regulate the amount Of grain to
the individual calf. No grain should
be allowed to remain in the hangers,
where 1t viii become musty, as di.
gestion disorders will result. Ground
oats and bran are valuable supple.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Dec. 1.
Smaller receipts Of cattle last week
sellers to advance prices on
killing grades 25 cents, up to We'd
nesday, but stockers and feeders sold
barely steady and there was not much
doing after Wednesday last week.
Receipts today are 1900 head, mar
ket 10 to Is higher ON cows and on
butcher grades, around steady for
steers and stockeTs and feeders.
For some reason Chicago continues
to report a very bad market, prices
there today ruling 10 to Is lower,
notwithstanding the run Is but 26,-
900, as compared with $4,000 cores
ponding Monday last year. Beef con-
sumption is being held down by the
fact that retailers have not reduc-
ed prices in line reductions IN the
wholesale price Of beef since a year
ago, or the lower selling price OF
live animals. Imports are cutting
very little figure in the beef mar
ket. Prime finished cattle are scarce
at Kansas City, prime heavy steers
quotabIe up to $3.50, although the
best heretoday stopped at S.25. Odd
head Of fancy yearlings sold at 900
last week, good native COWS worth
800 to 6.75. Veals are higher, tops
1000. Quarantine receipts are run
ming short, for two reasons, restric-
ton of the quarantine territory, ac-
count Of moving the tick line far
ther south, and also because OF light
er feeding this year. Receipts quar-
antine cattle today "a cars, top meal
fed steers 7.10. A few shipments
of range cattle are here today, in
cluding Colorado and Panhandle year
lings and twos at 6.S5 to 7.1O; COWS
5.25 to 700; common Gamers 4.45.
Hogs sold lower last week, but
the market is being sustained by
broad fresh meat demand, moderate
receipts and light average weight,
the latter point working two ways,
namely in reducing total pounds Of
pork, and in enabling bacon produc-
ers to work to maximum capacity.
Run today 1000 head, market 5 to
10 higher, top s7.77, bulk 7.S5 to
TO.
Sheep and lambs sold higher last
week, but the market is 10 to 10
lower today. Local prices have been
running above Chicago for the past
two months and will likely do so all
winter because Of few on feed in
Kansas City's territory, and many IN
that Of Chicago. Receipts here to-
day 10000, Chicago $4,000. The top
lambs today bring 7.65, top in Chi
cago 7.5O. Yearlings are worth 5.35
to 6.25, wethers up to 5.25, ewes at
4.SO, feeding lambs around 500.
