Three years ago." said the coun-

seven cows of the Shorthorn breed.
He also had a good flock of chick
ems. He purchased a farm under an
$500 mortgage. In three years he
has paid his interest, hired man, all
expenses, and last fall sold $4,000
worth of cattle from those seven
cows. He is now milking twelve
cows, has paid off the mortgage, and
is getting along fine. He showed me
from his books that his sales in Feb

STOLEN TYPEWRITER rs
RECOVERED

Several months ago some one or
more persons broke into the office
Of the Durant Milling Company and
'absconded with a perfectly good, all
most new Remington Model 10 type
writer. For a long time no trace OF
the machine or thieves could be
found, and only last week, the com
pany secured a new machine. Ruel
Taylor, chief of police, did a little
gum-shoeing and finally located the
machine in the offices of the Paris
Liquor Company at Dallas, The Of
flee men there said that fellow had
swapped them the machine for about
nine dollars worth of whisky. Mr..
Taylor brought the machine back
with him from Dallas Tuesday and
returned II to the rightful owners.
No arrests have been made to date,
but suspects are being watched.

BLAcKBIRDs EATING CORN
Many Acres in Red River Country
Will Have to be. Replanted
Crops Doing Fine in 9th
er Respects.


Many farmers living in and near
the Red River bottoms are complaint
ing about damage being done to
their young corn, which is just up
and looking fine. A. G. Herndon and
Willis Hawkins, in from Yuba this
week, say that there are literally
millions of these black pests, and
that they swoop down on patch Of
young corn and in few hours man
age to clean it of every vestige of
Vegetation. Mr.. Herndon says that
he will have to replant at least fif-
teen acres of corn on this account,
and others say the same thing.
There is no way in the world, they
say, of getting rid of the birds, as
they come in such numbers that all
the pump guns in the county loaded
with birdshot could not make an
impression upon them II fired all at
one time. ,
This condition seems to be linz
tied to the bottom country, the prai-
rie land not being affected.

HOW HEAVY Is AN EAR ?

whether we are willing to admit
the fact or not, the breeders of high
grade seed corn are striving for the
larger ear. They are paying little
attention to the ability Of the ear TO
mature under the conditions for
which il is sold"
These words, in substance are the
words of leading seed-corn man of
the country.
Perhaps he is right. There is rea-
son for trying to secure the ear that
will weigh well, for it is weight that
will result in yield, other things be-
ing equal. But the experience of
the corn farmers of the past year
ought to call a halt on the demand
for a big ear. Iowa and Illinois are
now suffering the penalty of imma-
ture corn-seed corn of the right
sort will be scarce.
And for the past year much corn
going into the market has been sog-
gy and moldy.
Isn't it possible to get medium
sized ear that will yield We'll? Isn't
it possible to lay emphasis on the
breeding of corn that will produce a
greater number of ears and have
them mature when frost comes ?
What should be the average size OF
the ear of dent corn as we find II
growing in Indiana, Illinois, oowa
Missouri, and other cOrn-belt states

LIVESTOCK MARKET

Kansas City Stock Yards, April 4.
There was another sharp reduction
in the cattle supply today as compar-
ed with a week ago, receipts 1000
head here, 4,000'less than last Tues
day, and the total at the five mar
kets- IA, 900 head, only one-half the
supply of a week ago. In two days
20 900 less cattle have ben marketed
at the five markets than the same
days last week, and while steer pri-
ces are 25 to 35 higher as result,
the advance is hardly as much as
such a condition might be expected
to produce, and ther was nobody
very crazy for cattle today. Meat
prices have been raised to consum-
ers, and this has cut consumtion ma
terially, leaving coolers in packing
houses with enough beef to make
their owners independent for the
moment. But a little more of the
medicine administered this week in
the shape of small supple will un-
cover an urgent demand from all
quarters. Some light Kansas steers.
1140 lbs, brought 9.25 today, the
best price paid, but not the limit of
the market. Other natives sold at
300, and plain pulp fed steers sold
at 885, about 40 cents under the
value o fprime finished steers of that
class. Fair to good natives sell at
$50 to $40, and steers erstwhile
denominated counterfeits are giving
- Q
or better. Cows and heifers are
catching a more moderate advance
than steers; cows at 500 and heif-
ers at9.50 the limit of prices paid
this week. StOckers and feeders are
stronger than the close last week,
some stock steers selling up to $50,
although three-fourths of long
tsring of sales were from 1885 to
500. Feeders range from 7.50 to
8.45. Hog supplies this week show a
drop almost as great as cattle, but
the big advance of 25 to 80 cents
yesterday rather overdid matters,
and prices are closing 10 to l 5 lower
today. Early sales were steady to
outsiders, some 20S-lb. hogs bring
ing 9.65, and lights selling at sos;
buk of sales ranging from 9.15 to
$50. Packing, since the opening of
the summer season, March 1st, is
running behind the record of year
ago slightly. and the stock of meats
is now sixty million pounds under a
year ago at this date. Also provis-
ions futures are higher this week
but the very high range of hog pri.
ces apparently offsets the otherwise
unanimous bull features. Sheep and
lambs continue to show weakness
lambs losing most. Receipts were
only 1000 today; prices off about
10 cents; top lambs 100; fair tC
good lambs 1885; fat ewes worth
up to 8.25. Some fat Texas goats
arrived and sold up to SIS, 7s lbs
average. fairly good price. Brush
er goats are worth 4.90 to 5.25. Th'
drop in the receipts today from {
week ago. fifty per cent here and al
most as much at the combined mar
kets, points to ability of feeders Il

ported at length. The resolutions
commend the State Legislature for
efficient work, praise the State and

work. and endorse the Presidents

icies.
The convention instructed its del
egates to the State Convention to
vote as a unit for Judge A. H. Fer
guson. of Durant, as a delegate to
the National Convention which meets
in St. Louis on June 14th. No in
struction on the National Committee
man fight was given. and the dele
gates are to use their best judgment
on that matter when the State Con-
vention meets. Three-fourths of the
delegates are to control the entire
vote of the delegation. It was
thought that a fight might be pre-
cipitated in the convention over the
National Committeeman job. Ben
