SCIENCE AssALs A SACRED CUSTOM

One feels as if denial had been made officially that the whale did not swallow and regurgtate Jonah and that the sun and moon did stand still on GOeon andln the valley of Aiaon at the command of Joshua, when 1t IS announced from Washington by the United States Wealth. Bureau that the has nothing whatever to do with the favorable planting of crops or the sLaughtehg oI hogs
 The eminent meteoroIogisJ in command ot the bu- reau may not know that by and large the people of this country have only slight confidence in statements issuing from its portals For generations seed has been plant ed in the dark and the light of the mOOn and hogs have been led to execution at stated lunar periods Crops have come up and been harvested and pork has gone into the barrel and the smOkehouse in unceaSng rounds What boots then that the weather experts come torhnoW to say that plant growth depends upon temperature light
 humidity and the plant food in the soil and air. and be- cause the moon neither meows the ground nor tertzes
 nor alters the composition of the atmosphere, therefore that orb has no place in the agricultural scheme of things?
 This learned iconocast will make but little impress sion upon the entenched amanacs directions concerning the stages of the moon. Nevertheless, his argument IS fascinating Experiments he says, show that plant shaded so that it gets but one hndredth part of normal daylight grows little better than in total darkness At its maximum normal daylight is 6OO00O times brighter than moonlight Therefore, if light 5000 times stronger than the rays of the fails to stimulate plants, the effect of lunar light must be entirely negligible.
 All very well, but what has JIS to dO with planJng corn in the dark of the the old forefathers did in imitation of the Indians? Or saughterng hogs at the appointed times? It's merely scientific mOOnshine, to speak fppanty and will meet with true agricultural ScOrn.

THE DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards, May
here last week but large majority
of the receipts consisted of southern
ockers and a good many of these
going thru. The natives offered sold
readily under good demand and the
market closed considerably high
er than the week before and from
soc to 81 higher than two weeks ago
on all good cattle. Today, with
light supply of natives, prices were
10c to 15c higher. Good beef steers
are selling from $11 to $11.90, and
choice kinds sold up to $1215 early
last week Dealers are of the opin-
ion that right fancy steers would
bring $3.50. Fair steers are selling
from $40 to $11. Cows are selling
at $3.50 to $40 for pretty good kill
ers and fair cows are bringing $3.50
to 1925. Bulls are selling at IS to
$9.15 for good grades and best veal
calves up to $1425. Stocker demand
is picking up and the market in pret-
ty good shape. Good southerns are
selling readily but the palmer kinds
are a little slow. Yearling steers
are bringing s36 to SAL and twos
are selling from SAG to $3.50 per
head. Threes and up are selling
from $50 to SIS, according to quail
ity. Heifers are bringing fully as
much as steers and well marked stuff
a little more.
The hog trade was active during
the week and the market at the pres
ent time at the high point. Good
hogs are selling around s15.75 to
$16.25 and something fancy would
probably bring a little more here.
Sheep demand is good and the
market active. Good lambs sold on
Friday at $40 fiat, the highest price
in the history of the market. There
have been no good ewes on sale, but
they would probably bring around
$13 to $14.50. The demand here is
strong but very few coming to mar
ket and packers have had to ship in
stuff from Ft Worth to keep their
plants going. w. N. FULTON.
