LIVE STOCK MARKET
) . . . . . . . > . . . . . . I

Kansas City Stock Yards May 2,
The cattle market has struck a rough
place today, due to too many in sight
for tomorrow at Chicago Receipts
here were 500 head, and steers sold
slowly az steady to ten lower prices,
COWS and stockers and feeders steady.
The feature thih week has been the
large supply of good to choice pulp
fed steers from Colorado, these cat
tie being about the best offered, and
selling largely at 1896 to $9.4O.
Prime native steers are quotable up
to s9.65, some yearlings today at
$3.50, bulk Of the beef steers $3.50
to $9.25, plain steers and dogles ss
to $3.50, a few common steers to
killers down to $3.50, these latter
selling at comparatively high prices
as compared to steers worth intrin-
sically much more. The prices for
cheap beef keeps COW sat a high fig
ure. prime heavy COWS up to $3.50.
bulk OF the cows $3.50 to 500. Four
loads OF good light weight quarantine
steers arrived today 1852 lbs at SS-
90. Stockers and feeders find quick
outlet at the highest level OF the year,
useful stock steers at $7.35, we'll
bred shoTthorns of all weights a.
TounO $S. choice White Faces 1926
to $3.50. fancy calves so, stock cows
s6.25 to S6.75, breeding heifers $3.50
to $500, choice light weights heifers,
Character of the cattle supply indi-
Gates an early exhaustion of the main
supply source now furnishing cattle
here, which means scarcity and
strong prices balance of this month
at least. Hog receipts were 5000
today, market lower, after threats
Of a greater decline which came to
nothing. Demand is strong, especial
ly from packers, who need hogs for
both meat and lard. Packers cannot
deny that hogs are killing out at a
profit, as per provisions quotations,
which means that the market is on
a sound foundation. Top prices So
so. bulk of sales $9.55 to $9.75, light
hogs up to $40. Heavy runs have
been received at the leading market
this week. but the effect has not been
serious to prices here top today being
only 10 cents below best price this
year. Sheep and lambs are 25 to 35
cents higher than close of last week,
good to choice lambs today $11.60
to $11.70, close to the best figures
of the year. Receipts are9 900 head,
Including 1 800 Texas goats. the lat
ter selling steady at $5.35 to $50
for killers. and $500 to $3.50 for
Angora brushers weighing so to 20
lbs. Texas clipped wethers are
worth $7.75 to $500, and best clip
ped Texas ewes would bring $7.25 to
$3.50. Light receipts ahead are a
surety. and there is no relief n sight
Off killers or consumers from the
present high range of prices.

ERADICATE WHITE GRUBs

Strawberry growers who are trou
lied with white grubworms should be
careful in selecting the land upon
which the plants are to be set. Sod
land, according to j. r. Watson, en-
tomologist to the University of Flori
da experiment station, is apt to be In
tested with the worms He advises
that the land be given to some crop
not injured by the grubs for two or
three years after the sod is turned
under. II the grower cannot wait
that long, he might pasture pigs on
the land six months before planting.
Pigs root the grubs out and eat them.
If stable or barnyard manure is used
as fertilizer, 1t might be well to mix
with it from 200 to 400 pounds of cya.
. nide to the acre. II is possible that
cyanide cannot be obtained. About
100 pounds Of sulphur or enough to
slightly color the manure might be
added. The sulphur can be applied
between the rows.
Neither of these substances will kill
the grubs, but they act as repellenta
and win probably drive the grubs
away. The best method, however, ID
TO avoid sod lands.

Even Fishes Can Be Drowned.
The fish is cold-blooded-tha is, it's
temperature is very slightly above
that of the water in which IL lives,
and II, therefore, needs but little oxy-
gen TO keep the blood warm enough
to sustain its life. This oxygen sup
piled to the blood by the gIils In res
piration Is not obtained by decompOs-
ing the water, but by separating the
air from it. It is, ther fore, nee
essary that the water in which fish
live Should be supplied with air, and
this is one Of the direct benefits of
the agitation Of oceans az 4 lakes by
winds. Fishes confined 10 aquariums
often die for this very rea5on, because
the water is not aerated. They CON
sumo ell the oxygen in the closed YES
sci In which they are placed, and no
more being supplied they die, and may
be said to be drowned, because they
perish from the same cause that occa-
sions death by drowning in lung
breathing animals--that is, watt Of
air.

BLOOD as Food 1IuhIy commended.


The present tendency of physicians
to ascribe all sorts of illness to diet
that is too high In protein is depre-
Gated by Doctor Won Noorden in dis,
cussing in the Muenchener Medizin-
ische Wochenschrift a paper on blood,
as a food. The famous diet specialist
says the longer he lives the more firm
ly convinced is he that high protein
regimen is best. He believes low
protein diet means weaklings in fu-
ture generations. The Medical Record
summarizes this article by saying we
must-especial when meat foods are
high in price-make an economic use
OF such foods as blood, naturally in the
form of blood pudding or blood and
tongue sausage. Blood is even meai-
cinal as a carrier of organic iron.
Blood powder and the like may be
used for reinforcing such dishes as
soups with protein.

FISH HATCHERY LOCATED
States second institution of this kind
located on Blue River four
10. miles north of Durant

The Oklahoma Fish and Game
Commission composed Of Gov. Will
liams, Secretary of state Lyon and
State Game Warden Chenoweth, last
week losated Oklahomas second fish
hatchery on Blue River four miles
north of this city, and as soon as
arrangements can. be completed, work
on the building Of the equipment will
commence. The hatchery calls 70.
an investment of about $8,00O.00.
From this hatchery the various lakes,
ponds and streams of the state will
be stocked with various kinds of
fish.
Prior to the selection Of this site,
citizens of Durant arranged for the
furnishing free of sufficient pure
fresh water to operate the new hatch
cry. Samples of the water sent to the
United States Government Chemist,
were declared as nearly one hundred
per cent pure as the water from any
streams within the confines of the
state of Oklahoma.
The site is on the Katy and the
Highway, quite near to the postoffice
OF Armstrong from which station fish
for various streams of the state will
be shipped.

Fish Sleeps In Dry Seasons.

A remarkable fish known as protop-
terus annectens is found throughout
the whole of tropical Africa, but is
most common near the west coast,
where it sometimes attains length
of six feet. During the dry season,
when many of the ponds dry up, the
fish descends some distance into the
mud and forms a rounded hollow for
a nest, which is lined by capsule of
hardened mucus secreted by the
glands of the skin. II hibernates thus
for nearly six months, drawing it's
sustenance from the tat secreted when
Il is active.

report crop conditions good in their

Caddo there is considerable replant-

that around Albany, a great deal of
corn was replanted, and oats as we'll.
The principal trouble with oats he
says was that the blackbirds came in
swarms and ate the seed out of the
ground.
