KANSAS CITY STOCK MARKET
Cattle Steady; Hogs Stronger, bu
 Lambs Are Lower.

Lambs Are Lower.
 Kansas City Stock Yards, Jan. 3O.- The heavy snow storms in the East late last week which demoralized traffic, had tendency to cut down demand at central western markets, and weaken prices some. Here no quotable decline was evident, tho there was no particular snap to the trade. Hogs sold readily at steady to no cents higher prices with the gen. eral market within 10 ceots of the high point last week. Sheep and lambs were quoted weak to 25 cents lower.
 Mondays Receipts.
 Receipts today were 1000 cattle, 14,000 hogs, and 11,0OO sheep, com pared with 12,000 cattle, 10000 hogs and 13,O00 sheep a week ago, and $500 cattle, 7,560 hogs and 6,76O sheep year ago.
 Beef Cattle. At the outset there was some in- difference on the part of killer buy CTS and lower bids were placed but before there was any general move ment over the scales, prices were considered steady. Average quality of fat cattle was not as good as a week ago, and the best here sold readily. The plainer kinds moved slowly tho at steady prices. Cows and heifers were steady to strong with the supply of good fat grades small. Indications are that the run of fat cows will be below normal this coming month. Veal calves and bulls were steady.
 Stockers and Feeders
 Demand for good stock cows anc heifers and springer" cows contin ued active at strong prices. Stocl and feeding steers were steady. Coun trymen took a good many half-fat Isteers for a short feed.
 Hogs.
 Hog prices were strong to 10 cent higher, mostly 10 cents up, top S8.75 and bulk of sales $8.40 to $S.70 Thi. | put the general market to within 1I cents of last weeks high point. De mand was active, as soon as the ad vance was established and all the of ferings were cleared before noon. Pig sold up to $8.75.
 Sheep and Lambs.
 Sheep and lambs sold down about 20 cents. The decline was caused by Ia break in Chicago, and slow trade elsewhere. Here fat lambs sold most ly at $l2.50 to $12.90, ewes $6.75 to SIPS, and feeding lambs at $11.00. The general market is Is to 40 cents under the high point last week.
 Horses and Mules.
 A fairly active demand for horses and mules at steady prices was re- ported. Receipts were about the same as week ago. Good chunks and Southerns were in fairly active de- mand. CHARLES M. PIPKIN.

SODIUM FLUCRIDE
AGAINST ALL LICE,

Clemson College. May 15.-For lice
on young chickens, young turkeys.
and in fact all newly hatched fowls
the application of sodium fluoride in
the dust form is recommended. says
n. f. Mehrhof, Extension Poultry
Specialist, who advises that the
"pinch method" has been found to
be entirely effective against all lice
and to have the advantage Of econo-
my of time and material. In this
method the material is placed on a
table in an open vessel, and the fowl
is held by the legs or wings with one
hand, while with the other hand a
small pinch on the head, one on the
neck, two on the back, one on the
breast, one below the vent, one on
the tail, one on each thigh, and one
scattered on the underside> of each
wing when spread. Each pinch can
be distributed somewhat Dy puSnlnS
the thumb and fingers among the
feathers as the material is released.
1t is advisable when dusting to hold
the chicken over a large shallow pan,
as in this way the small amount OF
material ordinarily lost is recovered.
Sodium fluoride can be obtained in
two forms, known as commercial and
chemically pure. Both of these are
in a dry state, the former being a
dry powder and the latter consisting
of small crystals somewhat lumpy.
While the chemically pure material is
effective, it is not as easily applied by
the dusting method as the more fine

Clemson College, May 13.-That II
pays to caponize is now recognized by
experienced poultrymen, according &C
n. F.. Mehrhof, Extension Poultry
Specialist, who is recommending this
practice a capon is a male bird
from which the reproductive organs
have been removed at an early age,
and the advantage Of caponiZinS are:
larger and heavier fowls at killing
time; sweater meat of finer flavor; a
much higher selling price: lower
cost, due to ease of fattening: a more
docile disposition; and better endur
ance of close confinement.
During the same period Of growth
it is possible to produce capons which
will weigh so percent more than they
would normally weigh. A cockerel
of the American breeds at months
of age weighs from + to pounds.
The same bird if caponized when
weighing about 1 1-2 to 1-2 pounds,
can easily be made to weigh to s
pounds at months, and at the same
time the flesh of the canon will be
more tender, of finer texture, and Of
superior flavors and will bring high
er price.
Caponizing modifies the disposition.
The BIRDS become more quiet and
gentle, endure close confinement quite
we'll, and lose inclination to fly over
obstacles, or to quarrel and fight one
another. The cost Of feeding the
capon will have been less than that for
the cockrel because Of the fact that
more of the feed consumed is stored
up in the body as flesh. and less con-
verted into energy.
For detail information about. the
method of caponizing write the EX-
tension Service. Clemson College, 5.
