for. This is best accomplished by Vaccination. If all cattle of suscep- table ages were vaccinated regularly and the carcasses of those dying of the disease were properly destroyed it could be easily held in check, and gradually eradicated, but so long as we wait until a few have died before vaccinating and these that have died are skinned, or otherwise bled or left to decay on the surface of the ground, and their tissues laden with the germs of the disease allowed to be scattered to the four winds of Heav- en, by streams, winds, buzzards, dogs, coyotes etc., just so long will we have Blackleg to contend with.
 We have the powder vaccine which is furnished free by the United States Government and kept on hand at this office for distribution to those who ask for it. The Blackleg pills and pill guns are procurable at most all drug stores. The guns at $1.50 and the pills at from eight to ten cents each. There are now on the market three different forms of liquid Black leg vaccine, ranging in price from ten to forty-five cents per dose. They are all claimed to be superior to either the powder or pill form as the dos age is more accurate; it is claimed the cheaper ones will produce i'm munity for one year and the more ex- pensive one is said to produce a per. manent immunity. I am now trying out some of them and will later re port results.

RANGE CATTLE PRICES.

Already Montana rangers have sold up to $13.75 for load lots, which stands as a new record and compares with $11.00 last year, the highest ever known previous to 1917 for grass cattle from the range.
 Prices are attractive and owners are making considerable money, but it looks as though prime offerings will go much higher.
 A guide for what is possible for load lots in weeks to come is the pay ing of $140O and s15.00 for a few odd head already this week.
 Demand at Chicago unusually good for rangers and they are getting the preference over natives of the same class and, what is more, they will probably continue to do so for the balance of the season.
 Last week witnessed the largest range run of the season, and for the year to date offerings are running around 5000 ahead of the cores bonding time a year ago.
 A year ago very good class of animals was selling around $9.60, and when tops scared up around s10.0O many in the Yards went out of their way to get look at them, for they considered that price big one.
 Cost of handling range cattle ha7 increased since last year because of the greater price of hay for winter feed, but the extra cost and care were worth while.
 Many range men are taking better care of their holdings these days, ant for that reason losses are less severe but where facilities had not been i'm proved owners had heavy losses last winter.
 The season is little backward this year, but, now that offerings ar' coming freely, the trade looks for ; steady movement for months, al though the volume may not be al l large as in the past few weeks.

GOVERNMENT TAKES
 OVER WOOL

Boston wool houses have been mainly occupied in completing the de- tails of the sale to the government. Actual transfers have been begun, and a considerable volume has been taken over by the Quartermaster Generals office during the past few days. Prices have been fixed by the Committee on Wool Supply and an- nounced to the signers of the agree ment, not differing materially from those prevailing before and after the agreement was signed. Manufactu- rers have been taking over a fair amount, outside the governments op- erations, with prices strong and show ing a moderate upward tendency. Sales have been pretty we'll distribu- ted over available stocks, though a few houses appear to have done the bulk of the trading. Current opinion seems to favor the opinion that the government has substantially fixed market prices for some time to come, though certain grades may be fur ther advanced, provided a shortage is developed. South American advices are exceedingly firm, with Americans doing some active buying. Cape mar kets are we'll cleaned up on old wools, though lack of tonnage makes it diff ficult for American buyers to get their purchases shipped. Australia is still silent regarding the shipment of wool to this country, lack of tonnage being a very serious matter there as at the Cape. Conditions may be sum- med up in the word "stableized.' This has been the effect of recent government buying, an effect that will be more prominent as the days go by.-Bradstreet's.

ECONOMICAL SHEEP RATION.
Cottonseed Meal with Silage Grow
 ing Steadily in Favor.

Sheep relish ensilage keenly and like to have cottonseed meal spread over the roughage. The use of cot tonseed meal is increasing steadily in the west. Even in the case of breed ing ewes where the use of silage B begun with small quantities and grad ually increased, excellent results ob tain. For pregnant ewes the silage should be fed only once q day and particular attention must be exercis- ed not to feed too much of the green stuff. If necessary to avoid undue fattening of the ewes it will pay to pick out the grains of corn before the silage is fed. Where corn silage is available to furnish plenty of carbo- hydates and clover, alfalfa or other leguminous hay may be had to supply the protein, the farmer is able to homegrown the bulk of his feeds. Un- der such a system he reduces his feed bills to a minimum while he increases the live stock carrying capacity of his farm to a maximum point. This is simply another way of saying that he is practicing a permanent system of agriculture which makes for the improvement and increases the value of his property.
 In saving his corn or other ensilage crop, the sheepman should exercise every precaution to eliminate waste and to conserve all of the feed.

MOST DISCOURAGING TO
 ANIMAL INDUSTRY

Here are several facts worth re- membering:
 There is a growing shortage of meat animals in the United States.
 The Food Administrator and the Department of Agriculture are trying to encourage American farmers to maintain and increase their herds.
 The Democratic administration In 1913 repealed the protective duties on meat, thus discouraging home produc- ton.
 American packers are building packing plants in South America.

STATE VETERINARY IS
 INVESTIGATING BLACKLEG
Information for the Stockmen from the State Livestock Sanitary Board.

Blackleg probably causes more loss among cattle than all other diseases combined. Animals under three months or over two years of age are rarely affected. This disease is due to specific organizism, a bacillus that gains entrance to the circulation through abrasions of the skins or mu- cous membranes of the mouth due to sharp objects such as thorns, briars, sandburs, barbwire etc.
 SYMPTOMS.
 The symptoms begin with great de- bility, loss of appetite, and high fe- yer, followed with stiffness and lame ness in one or more limbs, due to the swelling or tumor almost invari- ably present. Death takes place in from one to three days, preceded by increasing weakness, labored breath ing and attacks of violent struggling or convulsions. The tumor or swell ing under the skin of affected animals is quite characteristic, it may be To- cated in any of the muscular tissues but never below the knee or hook. It is commonly found on the thigh or shoulder, hence the name "Blackleg" but it may be located on the back, flank, breats, neck, throat or base of tongue. The tumor at first small and painful, spreads rapidly in size, and when stroked with the hand, crack ling sound is produced due to the col lection of gas formed by the bacilli as they multiply.
 When the enlargement is cut into a dark, red frothy fluid, having the odor of rancid butter is discharged The tissues of the tumor are dark brown or black, soft, easily torn and filled with gas bubbles. These tis- sues have the appearance of having been hammered or beaten with blunt object.
 TREATMENT.
 Treatment is rarely successful numerous drugs have been used, also bleeding, rowelling, violent exercise etc, but all are of doubtful value. The practice of bleeding an animal affect. ed with Blackleg cannot be too SC verely condemned, as the germs of tho disease are thus liberated to contami nate the premises and the disease i. passed on to other animals. The only way we will ever eradicate Blacklee or any other infectious disease iron our herds is to properly destroy al carcasses by burying deeply or bet ter still, to burn them where they lay, without removing the hide.
 There is a serum for the treatmen of Blackleg in animals now on tn, market, but it's value as a cure il this disease has not been fully dem onstrated.
 PREVENTION.
 In this as well as in all other dis eases prevention is the goal to striv,

WEEKLY KANSAS CITY
 STOCK MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, Sept 8, 1917.
 Cattle receipts were 24,000 head, market steady to strong on decent killing cattle, following decline of 25 to 50 cents on most of the cattle after Tuesday last week. Hogs to- day 4,000, market strong, top $18.S0. Sheep and lambs 4,500 head, market steady, six cars of Arizonas at the top; $16.S5.
 BEEF CATTLE.
 The best offered were not strictly top notch steers, though they brought S15.5O. Short fed steers bring $14 and upwards, best pasture steers SIP 25 to S14.25, medium weight steers $7.5O to $1O.50, train of Northwest Nebraska steers weighing around 1,O50 lbs. at $10.25. Some two year old panhandles normally belongin in the stocker class, 900 lbs., sold to killers at SS.75, against bid of $S.50 from country buyers. Butcher cattle are barely steady, veal calves higher, best veals S13.50.
 STOCKERS AND FEEDERS.
 Best demand is for fleshy feeders, and in addition, packers bid on these, sales up to $13.25 for immediate feed ing. Regular feeding weight steers sell at 5000 to $10.50, and stock range from $7 to $s.50, mostly, one lot of common Old Mexican yearlings, grazed for a time in New Mexico, selling today at S6.
 HOGS.
 The market would have been higher except for some uncertainty due to meat control articles published yes terday. Receipts were light every where, and prices paid were steady, top s18.80, medium weights s1S.75 lights $1s.40, bulk of sales S17.75 to $18.70. Very few pigs are coming and prices are high, $15.50 to s16.- 30. Apparently farmers are holding back young hogs, as average weight of hogs jumped up 10 pounds here last week, 190 lbs., as compared with 1S0 lbs. previous week. With pack. CTS holding army contracts for pork products, which carry a penalty clause for non-fulfillment, the market looks safe, but there are those who say that immune stock hogs at IT tt IS cents a pound, present prices fol them, are poison.
 SHEEP AND LAMBS.
 Arizonas sold to feeder buyers al $16.s5, who will resell the heavy enc to killers, possibly around s16.75 making the feeders stand at ST Native lambs lack quality, and solo today at $16 to s16.25. Breeder! bring fabulous prices, SIS recently for eve lambs, breeding ewes one tt three years old at s15 to s16.50, oldel ewes $11 to s14. More range stocl will be offered this month, and ther, will be a chance to get some breed CTS and feeding lambs.
