Kansas City Stock Yards, August 31st, 1914. ---Choice to prime killing cattle sold steady lastsweek, but declines ranging from 10 to 25 cents caught the balance of the killing grades. Stock cattle sold 10 to 25 higher Tuesday and Wednesday getting some assistance from feeder buyers. = The supply today is IS. .000 head, and the market is about steady with some weak ness in spots. Stock steers are 15 to 25 higher, and feeders are strong, with more buyers from the country looking for cattle here today, than any previous day this fall. A>year ago today the cattle supply was 32,000 head, and this week last year made a new record at Kansas City for any market in the world in receipts of cattle and calves in a calendar week. Prime Missouri steers brought $10.35 today. with a number of second grade steers at $9.75 to $10.10. Middle class fed steers sell at $500 to $9.50. Illinois feeder buyers paid $8,8O for 1,25O ID native grass steers today. Straight feeders of qnality, weighing 1. 050 lbs. sold at $500. Steers brought up from Texas thls spring brnught SIPS to $7. 65 today. Good general rains last week helped late corn. and insured fall pasturage, and the strings of country buyers riding about the wards today, and quality averages common. Steer sales range from $5.25 to $7. 50I and cows bring $4.50 to $500. Lambs declined around 75 cents last week and sheep lost 25 to 40 cents. Local receipts were moderate, and loses here were not as severe as up river mar kets which had larger supplies Many lambs were forwarded to Chicago from St. Jossph and Omaha late last week. which | will have to sell at still lower prices this week, according to to- days reports. Receipts here are 8, 400 today, no good lambs nerd, some medium class light Utahs at $7.15, with the feeder end around $6.65. Choice western ambs would bring $7.50. and pest feeders S7.O0.

Prohibition Amendment
 The Fundamental Need

Why is the alcholIc liquor traffic so large a factor in oul public life? Why is some sort ot regulation advocated? Why are saloons charged for higher lie enses than other lines of busi- ness?
 Let us cull some answers from the dispassionate decisions of courts. The United States Su- preme Court has said: "The general and unrestricted sale of intoxicating liquors tends to produce idleness, disorder, dis ease, pauperism and crime" " In another decision it said: '"The statistics of every state show a greater amcunt of crime and misery attributable to the use of ardent spirits obtained at these retail liquor saloons than to any other source. Chief Justice Colerldge of the Kings Bench, England. has said: 'Nine-tenths of all the criminals that come before the court are made criminals by the saloon. If we could make England sober. we could shut up nine-tenths of her prisons.
 Why is it that everywhere. whether in England or America the liquor traffic breeds disorder. misery and crime? There is a deeper answer than people generally have known. Science has been patiently searching for the answer and has found out that which upsets many of our popular notions. Alchohol is norcotic poison. It may have some value in certain diseased physical conditions as morphine and strychnine have. But it is neither a food nor a true stimu- lant. Howard A. Kelly, M. D. of John Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore says: Alcohol may be classed as a drug and a poi son. Geo. w. Webster. M. D.. President Illinois State Board of Health says: It (alcohoIJ is a poison and should be classified as such, instead of as food or a stlmulant. Congressman Hob son says, alchohol is a poison and widespread moderate use is more harmful to society than the more limited excessive use." He found that an average youth of 20 if total abstainer should live to be siXty-tive years old. If a moderate drinker he may to live to be ffty-one. If l a heavy drlpker. he could only | to live to be thirty five. Moderate drinking costs an aver age of fourteen years of life and excessive drinking thirty years. The why" of the cam paign against alcohol is that it has masked among us as pleasant beverage, a mild and helpful tonic; It is in fact a toxic poison,
 Respectfully.

Dairymen Urged to Use
 Care in Cleaning Utensils

!
 clearly understood. A house.
 wife washing her dishes after
 the meal uses water that while
 hot IS not uncomfortable to the
 hand and we regret to say that
 a few dairymen use the same
 plan in cleaning bottles, milk
 pails, etc. Now the dishes from
 the family dinner table are not
 subject to the same outside con-
 tamination that assaults the
 utensils in use in producing and
 selling milk; and even if they
 were, every family has the
 privilege of maintaining their own standard of cleanliness just so long as they do not seriously
 inconvenience their neighbors.
 A dairy, however, IS a public
 institution and the purity of the
 milk it supplies bears a direct
 relation to the health of the
 community. This being the case it becomes the duty of every person producing and marketing milk and It's products to main- tain the dairy in the cleanest and most healthful manner possible. In order to accomplish this it IS necessary that every container used shall not only be thoroughly cleaned, but that it shall be kept in such a manner that dust and other foreign materials will not be able to collect Tn It before the next milking.
 The water tor cleaning bottles, cans, pails, clothes and other utensils used in the process of producing and marketing milk must be boiling at the time of using and there must be suffi- cient quantities of it so that the cans do not cool it down to a temperature inefficient for the cleaning. Two quarts of boiling water poured into a five gallon can and switched around with dirty cloth on the end of a stick do not clean the cans. Since the water must be too hot to permit the introduction of the hand a long handled brush is the best means of cleaning the sides and seams of the cans. The bristles are able to get into places that rag would not touch at all. Small particles of milk left in the seams of can or pail may be responsible for a high bacteria count in an otherwise good milk and since any are liable to prose- cution if you sell dirty milk it is well to eliminate this source of 
 When your utensils are washed t is not good plan to put the 0ails in the sun. If boiling water 1as been used and care exer- .ised the cans are clean and them in the sun only caves an opportunity for dust 1 md other foreign matter to blow nto them.
 In order that the bottles can )e well cleaned with the appar- ltus found on the ordinary lairy, it is necessary for the housewife to wash the bottles IS soon as empty, which does lot mean a half hour later or wen fifteen minutes, but immediately. When milk is flowed to dry on the sides of he bottle the albumin coagulates nd forms a sort of cement which is difficult to wash off. Iinsing the bottles in cold water rst facilitates washing them. he housewife and farmer 1ust cooperate if they wish to

How to Clear Land.

Land with heavy standing timber
is the most expensive and difficult to
clear, says A. J. MCGUIRE, superin-
tendent, Grand Rapids substation.
1t is, seldom practicable to attempt
to remove the stumps at the time
the timber is cut, as the removal of
a green stump requires nearly twice
the power that will be required to-
remove the same stump after it has
stood for few years. When the
timber is green, the ground is full
of small roots close to the surface
which make good blowing impossible.
The best way to handle such land
is to cut everything when the
marketable timber is cut, burn the
brush and small timber, and then
seed down and pasture the land for
few years. If the second growth
is kept down by pasturing the
stumps decay faster and, when they
are removed, the land is in good con-
dition for cultivation.
The brush and small trees should
be cut in the winter or spring after
the timber is removed. This should
be done early in order to get the
grass seeded early. If the land is
allowed to lie over a season, the
second growth comes up very fast
but, if the brush, small trees and
down material are removed and
burned early, the second growth
is held in check. If the land is
disked and seeded down to clover
and timothy the second growth is
practically overcome. On high land
sow medium red cloversand timothy.
On low land SOW alsike, timothy and
redtop. The best time to SOW is just
as the snow leaves the ground and as
the frost starts to 60.
