WEEKLY KANSAS CITY
 STOCK MARKET REPORT

Konsas City Stock Yards, May 1st, 1916.-Cattle closed last week with good prospects, which were realized today, when the 10000 head that ar rived sold steady to shade higher, and actively. Light weight steers showed more strength than heavy weights, but all classes sold as well as any one could ask. The feature was heavy supply of good to choice pulp fed steers from Colorado and the west. About fifty loads of Colorado pulp fed steers sold at $8.95 to S9.40, highest range they have reached this year, and about 10 to 15 cents higher than last Monday Seven cars of fdahos sold at 5000, and eight cars of Sugar Company pulpers from Scottsbluff brought S935 straight. These natives were loading today, but if quality is good enough they are eligible to $9.75, which was the top reached last week Bulk of the na- tives sell at $50 to $9.35, and only few short fed steers and dogies un- der $50, down to $500, the steers that sell under $S very common. Quarantine steers are very scarce, two loads of light steers, under 1000 ibs., at SS15 and $50, good ouaran- tine steers worth up to So. Butcher grades show even greater strength than beef steers, prime heavy cows up to SS.35. bulk of the cows s6.5O to S7.75. Stockers and feeders re- main firm, fairly good stock steers around $775, choice ones $8.50, feed CTS $500 to SS.75, fieshy feeders at $9. The whole cattle list is on slightly higher plane than a week ago, and the highest reached this year, with good prospects ahead, in view of the good outlet for meat.
 Hog Prices Still Hold Up
 Hogs held up strong last week, and prices averaged higher during the week than any previous week this year. The supply is 13,000 today, market opening with prospects 5 to 10 lower, but it turned out to be steady to lower, strength developing as the session went on, similar to the action of the market every day last week. Top today was S9S5, bulk $9.55 to S9.S0. Heretofore pork has been sell ing so well that killers cut carcasses for minimum lard production, but re- cent advances in lard promise to call for greater production, which will call for more hogs on the hoof, and strengthen the market. Dealers do not look for any material reverses during May.
 Sheep Advance 25 Cents
 Sheep and lambs advanced 25 cents latter part of last week, and jumped up Is to 25 cents today, receipts $500 head, including $500 goats. Lambs sold quickly, largely at $11.45 to $11.60, nine doubles at the top price, including weights up to S3 lbs. Sheep were scarce and wanted, fed ewes worth $8 to S8.S5. Texas wethers are worth up to $7.75, ewes SIPS, though none were offered. Goats sold shade higher, with a good outlet for both fat goats, around $5.60, and Angora brushers, some weighing 72 lbs. at s515, others 59 lbs. at S5.40, and Mexican slick haired goats at $4 to S4.75.

An Easy Way to Cultivate Miniature
FLOATING Gardens


A novel way of growing bulbs, such
as crocuses. has been tried with good
success. After securing the bulbs the
next thing is to get one or two rather
large cOrks. Through these holes are
bored and the bulbs fitted into the
openings in such a way that the under
side, from which the roots spring, Is
year the lower part OF the cork.
Now obtain large shallow bowl and
ill this with pure water. Float the
corks, with tho bulbs In place. on the
surface and set the whole thing aside
in rather shady position for two or
three weeks. AT the end of this time
it will be noticed that the roots are
growing down into the water; thence
forward a place In a sunny window
should be selected.
The upper shoots OF the bulbs will
start to grow rapidly, and at this time
1t Is a good plan to arrange q little
moss TO hide the upper surface OF the
corks. or. II preferred. however. grass
or some other seed. such as cress, may
be sown TO provide a green covering.
There is nothing to do but to keep
the bowl well supplied with water and
change this now and again. Finally
the flowers emerge, and then the effect
Is extremely pretty. The bulbs may be
planted In this way any time up to
early January, though naturally the
sooner they are started the earlier they
