SIOUX CITY LIVE STOCK MARKET

Sioux City, June 11.-Cattle re-
ceipts for the closing day of the week
was small and prices in all branches
were held steady. Market on beef
grades this week developed uneven
ness. but with strength featuring at
the close and prices show a slight ad-
vance as compared with a week ago.
Stock cattle climbed back to the high
point for the season under the influ-
ence OF light receipts and a fair call
from the country. or values are 15m
zoe higher than at the close of last
week.
Hog values were given another Jolt
this morning, average for the day
showing a loss of 10 a zoe from yes
terday. Tops dropped to 1855,
while the bulk of sales ranged from
$l4.90 @15.15. Eastern wires were
bearish and local receipts were on
the generous order.
Sheep prices show another sharp
revision downward for the six-day
period, loss being estimated at s1.OO
Q1.50, or $500 Q4.00 lower than
the high time. All grades. both
wooded and clipped stock shared in
the downturn.

THE AVERAGE REFoRmEH.
National Crop improvement, ssrviOe.l

The average refOrmer having so
little at stake himself, plunges about
like a bull in a china shop, regard
less of the results OF his ardor.
An amusing incident is told of the
Secretary Of Commerce. The can
manufacturers put up a howl that
unless they could get tin-plate to
make up, no canning OF fruits and
vegetables could be done, so without
looking over the field it Is said that
an order was made that steel was TO
be diverted by the manufacturers
from other projects and put at the
disposal of the can manufacturers.
1t looked all right on the face OF it,
but when the manufacturers Of har-
vesting machinery demanded steel
which they contracted for, and found
that there was not steel for aprons,
it having been diverted to cans, a
hurry-up call modifying the order
was issued, SO that our harvesting
machines could be made in time for
the growing crop.
This illustrates how many plans
are ignorantly made robbing Peter
to pay Paul. Every enthusiast
who has a pet reform which Is
always hitting some other business
instead of his own, never looks
around to see what the effect will be
before he plunges. The manufac-
turers OF feed and the most success
full feeders in the country have a
right to demand that that delicate
machine-the dairy cow-shall not
be wrecked by hasty legislation.
Revolutionary reforms are seldom
eficacious. Anything which disturbs
the food equilibrium should be
handled gradually. Experience has
shown that the most efficient way to
handle cereal products Is to remove
the human food first and feed the
residue to stock. Any other system
Is sheer extravaganza.

London.-Douglas Dun. the fourth

THE MANURlAL INGREDIENTS OF
FEEDS.

National Crop improvement Seryce.1
Nitrogen is the most important and
most valuable fertilizing element sup
piled by feeds, and it is in this ele-
ment that they show the greatest
variation.
The Connecticut Experiment Sta
ton states that it was found that the
average mixed fertilizer contained
2.95 per cent nitrogen and showed in
a table that eighteen of fifty-two diff
ferent feeds contained 1913 per cent
Among this list is cottonseed and lin
seed meals, gluten seed, middlings,
brewers and distillers' products, and
a few of the feed mixtures. 1t Is OBJ
vious, therefore, that a wise selection
of feeds enhances the value of the
manure and consequently plays an
important part in farm economy.

A Mother Wants Her Letter

Eaton, m.-'I wish you would pub
lish this letter for the benefit of young
girls. My daughter suffered greatly
from female trouble with cramps, and
headache, and backache most of the
time. She never felt like working and
it seemed as though she was sick all the

ARMY NEEDS GENERALS.
Promotions Expected TO Be Made Only
Upon Merit Basis.

Washington.-The new national army
will require about Twenty-Five new
major generals and more than 100
brigadier generals, according to oc-
hcials of the wal department. There
viii be a total of tlarty-six divisions,
each of which will have one major
general and four brigadier generals.
The army act empowers the presi-
dent to appoint general officers at his
discretion. The belief prevails that the
president and secretary Of war both
are determined only upon merit and
special fitness. This policy would CO.
incide exactly with those of France
and England, which are advancing
younger men to the higher commands.

Feeding Tables Hard to Follow on
Account Of Variation of
Ingredients.
National crop Improyomcnt service. ]

kNaiHofiaA Nffp improvement etfNAs
For many years feeders have IN.
deavored to use so-called standard
tables showing the theoretical mum
Der of pounds each of so-called di-
gestlble protein, fats and carbohy-
drates. These methods are fatally
defective for the following reasons.
First. the tables call for SO much
digestible food. III there was such a
thing as digestible food 1t might fur
nish a basis to go by, but digestible
food is really apparently digestible
food, in that 1t disappears in the body.
Just what use is made of ii is not al
ways clear. Some of It turns into gas.
some is converted into heat, and much
of IL is used in the labor of digesting
and handling the food. In the case
of straw and similar material, nearly
all of it's energy is used up In the
labor of digesting IL, leaving little or
no net gain. Straw should be re-
turned to the soil. Take two samples
Of dried barley grains. each contain
ing the same amount of digestible
food. and one will give twenty more
therms or heat units than the other.
one hundred pounds OF digestible
food derived from roughage is about
equal to eighty pounds derived from
grain. so If we add together things
which are unlike, we get no tangible
results. 1t Is like adding so many
pounds to SO many gallons. So. the
digestible basis of figuring rations Is
very inaccurate. The correct way is,
first, to ascertain how much protein
and energy a COW needs TO sustain
life and keep weight. You can get
this from your experiment station,
and ascertain how much Is necessary
to make one pound of milk of a Ger
tain fat test, and then feed her as
much protein and energy as Is needed
to maintain her and supply food for
as many pounds of milk as she car
make.
This is a very difficult problem
and few can do It, and we challenge
any I D men to tackle the same prob
lem Under the same conditions and
arrive at the same result.
We cannot tell unless we try to find
out, that a COW viii not give more
milk on more feed, or maybe as much
milk on less feed. SO feeding is large.
~ experimental. as no two ows arr
alike.
However, the law of averages will
hold, and the feeder IA saw all this
trouble and much loss by feeding
ration which his experiment station
has in most cases made, say three tC
four pounds Of milk for each pound
of mixed feed.
There is one thing certain. The
more solids and fat in the milk, the
more feed needed per pound of milk
So. a good mixed feed which is prop
erly combined and all the roughagt
she will eat will greatly simplify your
feeding problem and a very little ex
perimenting will o show you how
much concentrates each COW needs Il
produce a maximum yield.

We can increase production by In
creasing the acreage and BY increasing
the yield per acre.
For the dry-land sections the best
method of increasing the yield per acre
is by awaiting the weed"
A half ton of Russian Thistle uses
enough moisture to produce 81 bushels
of wheat. II every fourth hill Of corn
produced pig weed weighing one
pound in dry matter, the solid moisture
on 40 acres would be tapped to the ex-
tent of 200 bushels of corn and over Z
tons of stover.
Can we imagine the importance Of
plenty Of labor for the plains section
of the state in order to combat the
weed?
A ton of weeds is not worth very
much for feed, but the moist ure they
take from the soil will be worth from
$50 to $50 at present crop prices. 20.

Of course your town is a good town.
Prosperous, progressive and full of
good citizens. II you didn't think go
you wouldn't stay in it.
In choosing town to live in and to
work for, you should first decide on
place where you are best suited with
existing conditions and the outlook for
future development, and with its citi-
zens-your co-laborers. When this de-
cision is made you should get busy. :"
You beIieye in your town-you must
see that it makes good.
Knockers there may be-attracted,
no doubt, by the good things boosters
have accomplished, but are there
nevertheless-with their little ham
mers. These knockers should be con-
verted IL possible, subdued If recalci-
trant, or boosted out if hopeless. You
know nothing will kill a knocker like .
real live boost. The grass grows
greener. the crops are more bountifui,
the smiles more plentiful, while you
are boosting. If you don't believe It,
try it once for luck-and be convinced.
Quite likely there are improvements
needed in your town. Advocate and
work for these-but in the boosters
way, DOT as knocker. The one way
wins friends, confidence, success. The
other loses even your own self-respect.
If there il any good reason why you
cannot boost your town, in the name OF
common sense remove the reason, or
quit the town. Go some place where
you can boost But nine chances out
of ten when things 60 wrong it ism
your town-it.s you. Get in tune,

at the trail. Get out and push. Boost
