KANSAS CITY MARKET REPORT

Fat cattle sold 30 to 50 higher last week, but there was some sloWness at the end of the week, with price a shade lower. Stock CTS and feeders found a good outlet at strong prices all the week, practically as good as at time since the first of the year. Receipts today are 11,000, mar ket steady to 10 lower on fat cattle, and steady to unevenly higher on stockers and feeders. Iowa is closed to stock cattle from this market, but otherwise their is a clear field, with minor exceptions, and the trade is on a healthy basis. This condi- tion is a help to the whole mar ket, it being notable fact that when stocker and feeder trade was at it's lowest point recently, then fat cattle were also at their point. The main reaso n for 7aFeaii eeakif1ess III i fat cattle f today IS large supply at Chicago, where tie movement in shipping fat cattle east is still hamper.
 Some native steers brought $8.50 here last week, but nothing prime here today, and the top is $8.25, bulk of native steers $7.25 to $8.25, COWS $5.50 to S6.5O, calves $7.50 to $10.72, stockers and feeders largely S6. 50 to $7.6O. Some Colorado bulls sold at $5. 90, and quarantine steers at $6.40 to $6.80 were called steady. Good quarantines weighing 1, 150 pounds are worth around $7.25.
 Hogs receipt today are 13,000, market 5 higher, top S6.75, bulk S6.60 to $6.70. Order buyers paid the top prices for their hogs, packers stopping at $6.70. Re- ceipts are not burdensome, and there is a feeling that the price may advance, small stocks of lard pointing that way, together with expectations of smaller SUD- plies of hogs at markets in the the east. There is room for ex- pansion of the export trade, and aslo the southern trade, and should either or both of the chan nels open up, advances will be inevitable.
 Sheep and lambs made strong gains last week, and are selling 10 higher today. Bulk of the lambs sold at 1925 to S9.35, top price being paid for some 79 pound lambs from Fit. Collins. Yearlings brought $7.75 to S8.25, ewes $6.75 to S7.20, new high prices for this year. Receipts were 12, 800 today, and moderate supplies are in sight for balance of the week. Packers are sell ing all the by-products at record prices, especially wool, hence their willingness to pay the present range of price, highest on record for this time of the year.

Egg Laying Contest
 Great Success
POULTRY REPORT OF THE Ex- PERTINENT STATION EX-
 CEEDINGLY GOOD.

The egg production for the month of January in the Egg Laying Contest is given below by pens and breeds.
 Number 1, White Wyandottes, twelve hens, 134 eggs; 2, Buff Orpingtons, twelve hens, 216 eggs; 8, White Leghorns, twelve hens, 98 eggs; 4, Mi orcas, twelve hens, 35 eggs; 5, White Orpingtons, twelve hens, 155 eggs; ', Columbian Rocks, twelve hens, 129 eggs; 8, Brown Leg horns, twelve hens, 99 eggs :; 9, White Rocks, twelve hens, 45 eggs; 10, Barred Rocks twelve hens, 38 eggs; II, White Orping- tons, twelve hens, 35 eggs; 12, Buff Leghorns, twelve hens, 50 eggs; 13, White Leghorns, twelve hens, A eggs; 15, White Leg horns, twelve hens, 57 eggs; 16, R. 1. Reds, twelve hens, AZ eggs; IA, Barred Rocks, six hens, 20 eggs; IT, White Rocks, six hens, IA eggs; IS, R. 1. Reds, six hens, "A eggs; 19, Anconas, six hens, 4 eggs; 20, Barred Rocks, six hens, 1 egg; 21, Golden Cam pines, six hens, 26 eggs; 22, w. F. Black Spanish, six hens, 29 eggs; 23, Silver Campines, six hens, 26 eggs; "A, White Wyan- dottes, six hens, 25 eggs; 25, s. L. Wyandottes, six hens, Al eggs; 26, R. |. Reds, six hens, 19 eggs; 27, Buff Rocks, six hens. IT eggs; 28. Brown I.eghorrs. six hens, 32 eggs; 29, Minorcas, siv hens, 10 eggs; 30, White Rock, six hen, 23 eggs.
 The results show clearly an advantage for the birds longest on the ground before January l. Pens 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ', and 8 were at hand early.
 There are some indications that the heavier breeds possessed greater resistance to cold wealth CT, though not shown exclusively. Note record of pens l, 2, 5, and '. Conditions were exactly the same for pens 2, 3, 5, and 8.
 Some pens contained rather young birds, true especially of pens 4, 19, and 20. We may safely expect more uniform re- suits for the month of February.
 Roup has given much trouble. We hope the season for roup will soon close. Here are some of the methods used in combat ting the disease:
 Put enough Permanganate of Potash in the drinking water to color same slightly pink. Inject equal of kerosene and sweet oil in the nostrils. Press carbolized vaselene in the slot of the throat. Grease the head. Dis in f e c t houses with 5 per cent solution of carbolic acid or other disinfect- ant.
 This is the season for hatch ing your next fall and winter layers. This also is the best sea- son for procuring beginning for a pure bred flock with the view of disposing of mongrels.

CONCRETE AND TILE SILoS ARE DURABLE WHEN PROPERLY
 CONSTRUCTED

dently prepared to discourage farmers from building concrete and tile silos, has recently been circulated in some parts of the country. The booklet consists of photographs of cracked and collapsed siles, and the examples shown represent what may hap pen when concrete and tile silos are improperly constructed, but they should not be used to dis credit these types of silos.
 Whenever farm buildings are not permanently located, or if for other reasons a temporary structure is desired, a wooden silo may be preferred to one of concrete or of other durable m terial. Where lumber is cheap, or where stone and gravel can not be readily obtained, the first cost of a wooden silo may be less than that of a concrete silo. But for a permanent struct- ure it is generally best to con- struct of tile, concrete, cement block, or some other durable ma terial. Silos properly con- structed of these materials are not likely to be damaged by winds. They must be properly reinforced, however, or they will crack and eventually fall down.
 In some cases the, cracking of a concrete silo is caused by too small a proportion of cement used in it's construction. More often, however, the trouble is due to improper reinforcement. Aside from the matter of rein forcing, most of the failures of concrete silos have been caused by poor and insufficient found- ations.
 The concrete silo should be built with a solid wall six inches thick and reinforced with steel rods or woven-wire fe n c in g. The joints in each course of the wire fencing should overlap and the ends be tied.
 It is sometimes stated that the silage next to the wall will spoil for a distance of six inches. If the silage is not well packed and if the inside walls are left rough, it will spoil at the edges, but this may happen in any type of silo. If the inside walls are compara- lively smooth and coated with raw coal tar thinned to the con- sistancy of paint, and the silo is properly filled, the silage will keep in good condition for several years.
 The impossibility of moving is another argument which has been used against concrete silos, but man who builds for per- manence and has a livestock business definitely established has no occasion for moving the silo.
 Some concrete and tile silos have been poorly constructed and improperly filled, but these are not sufficient reasons for con- demning these types of silos. The unqualified assertion that tile, concrete, cement block, and brick silos are not durable is not based on facts.
 Details for constructing wood- en and concrete silos may be obtained by applying to the De- partment of Agriculture, Wash ington, D. c.

Confessions of a Wife

husbands into giving them 4 kiss or
its equivalent. | am not blaming
Mary at all, my dear: | think she is
a dear girl and has had o than
her share OF trouble, but | am sure
that when she comes 10 herself she
will find plenty or times when she
could have made things go easier
had she been more tolerant"
That is what your experience has
taught you. my dear Mrs. Selwin, but
don't you think that sometimes there
are wives who err on the side Of toll
france? l can't be forever nagging.
but I sometimes think that. for the
sake of peace | sometimes let things
pass with little comment that l should
make a fuss about.
II wonder il I have ever told you
the story about a friend Of Dicks
whose wife would never find any fault
with him and she forgave him time
after time, until one night she came
home Unexpectedly from a visit at her

How Dick has laughed over that
story. but TO me It has seemed ter
rible, for It told me just how hard
1t IS for a woman to decide which
is the right thing to do"
Come, let us go back to u lords
and masters" urged Mrs. Selwin, af.
ter she had both smiled and sighed
over my story.
We found the men deep In a busk

How is that poor little Mary girl
getting along??" asked Mrs. Selwin.
she is still delirious. and the most
tragical part of it all is that she
still keeps calling for Jack, apparently
forgetting the sadness and grief Of
her later married years and only re-
membering the joy and happiness OF
those first brief months OF honey
uioen."
at is a merciful fate that gives one
only the faculty to remember happy
things, isn't it," asked Mrs. Selwin.
After Mary comes back to herself
she will only think Of Jack as he
was when he appeared as her Princt
Charming"
THAT is what troubles me, my dear
Mrs. Selwin. | am afraid she Will
blame herself too much for this ter
rible occurrence"
"Yes, she will probably have many
sad hours OF remorse and she Will
probably take herself 10 task many
times for things she might have done
little things she hight have for
given" :.
"Do you know, Mrs. Selwin, / don't
