SIOUX CITY LIVESTOCK MARKET

Sioux City, April 14.-Receipts of
cattle were on the moderate order,
some SO cars. or 1,400 head. as
against 1888 a week ago and 1909
the corresponding day a year ago.
Killing grades formed the big end
of the run today. but demand was
broad and the general list of prices
held fully steady with that of the
previous day. Buyers were out in
good season and offers of steady
prices met with a prompt release and
clearance was made in good season.
There was good life to the inquiry
for stock cattle and the outcropping
of strength noted yesterday was re-
tanned. Movement to the country the
opening day of the week was of fair
volume.
Trade was slow in rounding into
shape in the hog department. but
with new builish from other points
and supplies on the light order SELL
ers were able to realize prices that
were steady to a nickel higher. Top
for the day reached $40. while the
bulk of sales ranged from $7.02K
@7.05.
Receipts of sheep were again light
and for the most part prices held
firm. Included was a showing Of
clipped lambs at $3.50.

and keeps on blooming at its proper
season while life endures.
Another of the potted plants which
comes to the United States from Flu
rope in large numbers Is that which
everybody calls "spirea." and under
which name it is sold by the million:
but the real name of which is astilbe.
The growing place of this snowy and
popular plant is Holland. and the
plants are usually imported to the
United States in the autumn, generally
timed to arrive in this country in No
vember Some of these cream-white,
feathery flowers are being grown in
this country. and this part of the
American nower-culture trade will
probably be stimulated by the war.
The Holland export trade in flower
bulbs Is fairly well understood by the
average American citizen. and efforts
are making and have been making for
a number of years, with high meas
ure of success. to produce American
bulbs in competition with the Dutch
bulbs. The Department of Agriculture
Washington grounds with the native
and imported bulbs to the satisfaction
of the friends of the American article.
During Easter week thousands of the
so-called Easter or Bermuda lilies were
sold in Washington. Formerly all
specimens of this lily-the correct
name of which is 'lilium longifiorum
giganteum"-were from bermuda bulbs.
but somewhat of a shift has taken
place in this trade. and thousands upon
thousands of these plants are now
brought to flower in the United States
from japanese bulbs.

Why Sap Rises in Spring.

wv HEN the sap stirs in the spring
wv and the leaf buds begin to swell
and unfold, most persons think the
question, and great many ask II:
why does sap rise in the spring."
The question is usually dismissed as
one of those manifestations in nature
for which there is no explanation that
can explain or satisfy.
The spring action of sap is one OF
those mysteries. one of the many mys-
teries, that battle man. The sap of trees
is the water which they draw for their
nourishment by means of their wide
branching roots in the soil, and which
by some unfathomable mechanism is
distilled and distributed through every
part of the tree.
Scientists find the furnishing of sap
to the smallest plant or single blade
of grass as great mystery as the
more powerful current that pervades
the tallest tree. They know that the
water which the plants absorb is taken
up by the many delicate hairs that are
attached to the roots, and that it goes
through the tree very much as blood
circulates through and nourishes the
human body. Some men say the sap
rises by capillary attraction, others
that it is forced up by root pressure.
Not much seems to be really known
about it.
Men stand dumb before the question
as to how a number of plants and trees,
whose roots are in the same soil, auto
matically select food which is changed
by their special digestions and assimi-
lations into the special life protoplasms
of their species Out of the same soil
come fruit of different taste and form
and flowers of different color.

moreover, what new lines of work are

zeal that is continually reinforcing

LOVE LETTERS OF A DIVORCED

etc. New York: Doubleday, Page &
Co.
These letters sum to a warmed-ove
courtship for the correspondents Be-
ginning with the woman. in a flippancy
of new freedom. they descend through
a scale of admission, acknowledgment,
retraction and loneliness, to the point
where the writers are willing to ven
ture again on their original scheme Of
partnership. One cannot claim for this
correspondence anything great in the
way of brilliancy. novelty. depth or
understanding. 1t deals for the most
part with the superficial layers Of life,
with the interests of a couple. not
distinguished for super qualities of
any sort. One reads along in a COM
monplace of event, in something like a
dead level of feeling, in an unillumi-
mating routine of speech. 1t seems a
pity that a pair so well matched in
dullness should have gone to the trou-
BILE of separation. or, having done this.
should have exploited themselves in
public correspondence of reconciliation.
