SELLING LIVE STOCK
IN RURAL DISTRICTS
Simplest Plan Is Where Buyer
Visits Producer.
Farmer Is at Disadvantage Because OF
Lack of knowledge Of Market
Conditions or in Quality and
Quantity of Animals.

Inc simplest method Of diSpo>ing OF
live stock prepared for market Is that
in which the buyer visits the producer.
examines the stock and gives the pro-
Queer an opportunity to make sale.
In the more densely populated farm
ing sections local butchers and stock
buyers travel through the country
looking for stock. These buyers. as a
rule, purchase stock at prices which
are below current market quotations.
In order to allow for shrinkage and
expenses connected with delivery.
They may also endeavor to drive hard
bargains with producers who are at a
instance, in knowledge OF market con-
ditions or in the quality and quantity
Of the stock they may have to sell.
Underfed or low-grade stock is almost
sure to find purchaser who will raise
objections to its quality and fitness for
market or slaughter. say live stock ex-
perts of the United States department
of agriculture. and will demand a
maximum of accommodation in the
handling and delivery Of the stock.
The buyer may or may not require
delivery to the local slaughter house
or stock yards. much depending on the
demand of the market for the class Of
stock sold. Some feeders sell rather
regularly to the same buyer, plan
which has certain advantages for both
buyer and seller. II the buyer feels
quite certain Of obtaining well-finished
animals which he can use to advan-
tage, he will be likely to make liberal
concessions in regard to the DISPOSE
ton Of the stock after sale; and the
stockmau finds It more convenient. as
wei, as agreeable. to sell to a man
with whom he Is acquainted, In whom
he has confidence. whose methods
he understands. and on whom he
can cali whenever he Is ready to

Following Good Practices.
About the first thing that may be
done toward getting better stock and
better homes is to check up on condi-
tons as they are and see the many
ways in which they may be improved.
But most people are not able to make
the best Of what they have. A man
who lets his buildings and fences fall
down. pays no attention to rotation OF
crops, lets his manure leach away into
the creeks, forgets or neglects to feed
and care for his stock regularly, and
lets his wife go out to pump water and
split wood. is apt to instill into the
minds Of his children the idea that no
body is ever a farmer who is smart
enough to be anything else. On the

way Of doing things will surely find
himself getting better animals and
gaining in self-respect and Importance,
not only to himself but to the commun-

Gradual. continuous livestock i'm
provement has been practiced for many
years by the most successful live
stock farmers everywhere. Improving

practice of these successful men who
for years have been keeping the best

BRITISH GOVERNMENT
 IS TYING UP SILVER
Reno Gazette.

Until called to the worlds attention
 by the interpolation in parliament
 last night, it probably had escaped the
 notice of people in general that Great
 Britain still retained control of silver
 exports.Mr. Samuel, the member of
 the commons who asked the question
 of the ministry, also said that plan
 was under way to restrict all pur-
 chases for China to a great corpora
 tion.
 This would remove competition with vengeance and the natural laws of supply and demand would be laid aside for the benefit of a huge silver purchasing trust that would set it's own figures. At present the world price of silver is settled every day in the back room of an office in London by a committee of brokers. The Unit ed States, fortunately for American silver producers, is outside of the ring and intends to stay out, having fixed the price at which it will accept fine silver at it's mines.
 The Chinese demand has been arti- ficially kept down, as reading be- tween the lines of Shanghai papers indicates, and there iS reason to be- ieve that the Indian bazaars have been artificially controlled in their purchases, too, for, writing in July of last year, Benjamin White, a great English authority on silver statistics, says in his booklet on "Silver," that the immediate future is uncertain land is chiefly in the hands of the Indian authorities, who may find some way of dispensing with further sup plies for while." "If not" he goes on to say, "it is impossible to set a limit to which a forced demand may not carry the price,"
 Obviously, the Indian authorities" of whom he speaks, have followed out the suggestion so successfully as to lead to the belief that it can be done in China also. Nothing of the sort can succeed, however, if American producers will do as they ought to do and get together to handle their own product in the markets of the world. If the price in India were not at this kept down by the govern ment's insistence on reduced use and if China were not already to a large extent in the hands of the same eX- ploiters, silver would today be bring ing the American producer not the dollar an ounce he can get at the hints but at least $1.20.
