MOHAyE COUNTY SHERIFF
LIKES TO BE SCRATCHED

Sheriff j. C. Lane, who has been in
the southern part of the state for the
past week or two, returned to King
man on Monday last, after having had
an exciting trip across the border into
old Mexico in pursuit of some SNUG
glers.
Lane and the other officers took the
Southern Pacific road south from
Tucson and went for quite a distance
into Mexico to the headquarters Of the
smugglers. The gang was surrounded
and placed under arrest, and later re-
moved to the Jail at Tucson. Two Of
the prisoners were women, one a
beautiful Mexican girl who fought
and scratched the officers all the way
to Tucson.

EAR TICKS COMMON
IN THE SOUTHWEST

Ear ticks are very common among
horses, cattle and even men in the
southwest. Probably half of the cat
tie and horses in the state are affect
ed with ear ticks. No doubt serious
results often attend these parasites,
as they are most annoying. The eggs
are laid on the ear drum and are fast
ened with fine thread-like root.
When the eggs hatch the young will
become active and may even reach
the brain.
Remedies
Almost any oil will kill the ticks if
it reaches them. Sweet oil or cotton
seed oil will force the ticks to leave.
Sometimes they stay near and may
return. 1t is reported that 10 per
solution of carbolized oil will kill the
ticks, keep the eggs from Matching
and not injure the animal. Such a
preparation should be kept in a bottle
where it could be used whenever the
animals were seen to twist their heads
on one side, drop their ears or show
other indications of ear ticks. One
can dig out the ticks with his fingers
or small spoon, and as many as a
score Of ticks may be found in one
ear, some of them as large as peas
Another good mixture for placing in
the ear to kill the insects is one ounce
of camphor, one ounce of phenol crys,
tails, six ounces of oil. racina. This
should be mixed thoroughly and lit
tie of it poured into the affected ears

WEEKLY KANSAS CITY
STOCK MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, Dec. A,
1916.-Killing cattle sold pretty well
last week, killers filling good orders
from day to day. All quarantine re-
strictions on the movement of cattle
here were removed Saturday. Re-
ceipts were 10000 cattle, steers
steady, cows strong, stockers and
feeders quiet. The hog supply was
10000, market 10 to Is higher, top
$40, sheep 10 higher, lambs $12.35.
Beef Cattle
Branded yearlings brought $lO85,
and some pretty good heavy steers
sold at $1,000, strictly prime steers
worth up to $12. The $1,000 steers
today were mates of steers from
same shipper at $1,000 last Wednes-
day. Medium to plain short fed steers
sold at $3.50, some Missouri steers at
$1,000, 1400 lbs. average, that cost
$3.50 here in September. A train of
% cars of cattle from Red Rock, Mon
tana, arrived, containing 10 cars of
steers around 1900 lbs. as $7.S5, and
10 cars of cows, of which / car
brought S7.25, car 81, the main
drove $685., balance Sc to $640, a
few throwouts s525. The COW market
was shade higher, including Gamers,
the latter at $3.50 TO SIS.
Stockers and Feeders
On the discovery of the harmless
nature of the disease affecting the sick
cattle here all embargos have been
lifted, and trade is on a normal basis.
! Receipts of stockers and feeders were
light, and the feeling was weak, prices
quotable at $3.50 to $3.50 for steers,
and SIS to 81 for stock COWS and heif-
ers.
Hogs
The morning estimate of 5000 head
was raised to 10000, and there was a
very active market at 10 to Is higher
prices, the close 20 higher in some
cases. The top was $40, bulk of sales
$9.40 to $500, medium weights up to
$500, light hogs $9.75. The market
showed the good effect of the order
buying trade, which was operating to-
day, top here being 10 cents above
nearest Missouri River market, and
only 10 cents under Chicago top to-
day, bulk of sales here today actually
above bulk in Chicago. Killers have
place for hogs in practically un-
limited numbers, and present price
adjustment is making them good
money.
Sheep and Lambs =.
The market was stronger, and there
were several important features. -Four
cars of pea fed lambs from the Monte
Vista district sold at the top price,
S12.35, rs lbs. average. Four cars of
