and -advfces from there claimed
that the near east situation was
more reassuring. Primary receipts
were heavy but shipments were In
excess of the arrivals This was
largely due to shipments out Of
Duluth.
Corn sold at the highest levels
OF the season. The strong position
OF cash corn in the west - the re-
suit Of feeding demand was the b.

not SO much the buying as the lack
OF selling which lifted prices.
Local cash handlers account for the

U. s. Yards. Chicago, Nov. 1s.-
A feature Of the livestock trade this
fan has been the comparstivsly
large run Of western rangs cattle.
The season 10 also holding mp and
with good weather range stock has
been able to continue running to
market longer than usual. 1t is
hard to get cars early in the fall,
and for that reason much of the
stun has been coming late. For
the season thus far the run OF
range cattle is placed at more than
zoe. 900 against about $50, 900 the
corresponding period last year.
Receipts today were $4,000 cattle.
zS.o00 hogs. 1900 sheep and 1000

Trading was again uneven with
buik OF medium and palmer steers
about 35c to SOC lower for the week
thus far. Fresh range supply was
posted at $500. A small supply Of
choice. native steers sold about
steady. with some yearlings placed
at 1900 to 1925, but the general
market was unevenly lower. Bulk
OF steers sold at<S.50 to 1850. Can
ners at 400 to 3.10 and bologna
bulls at 400 to 4.25 for the best.
were steady. but calves were again
more than 25c lower. Packers took
good vealers at $50 to 1000.
HOGS.
Demand was fairly active from
the start. and later in the day val
ues were strong to higher. Some
spots showed a gain Of a dime
over the average OF the day before.
Good 10 to 200 pound hogs sold
at $50 to $50, with 30 to $50
pound stock Of good Quality at $50
to $40. Some prime butchers
weighing $50 pounds sold at $50.
while few rough packing hogs went
below $50.
SHEEP.
Lambs were generally steady.
Choice natives went at 14.75, or the
same as top lots the day before,
while big killers took most of their
good stock at 14s5 to 1850. Few
fed westerns were on hand, and
practically all of the range run
consisted Of feeders. The market
was steady. Choice yearlings went
to killers at 1900.

VEGETABLE
AND FRUIT REVIEW

Chicago, Nov. l5.-The car lot
movement Of IA principal fruits and
vegetables for the week ending Nov.
IL, was 1904 cars, . decrease of
more than 5000 from the--prece6-
ing week, according to the weekly
market review Of the United States
bureau of agricultural economics.
About half the loss was due to a
lighter potato movement. Ship
ments OF boxed apples, lettuce and
spinach were slightly heavier, but
all other lines moved in lighter vol
ume.
Potato movements we're firm in
the east but weaker in other sec
tons. Cabbage declined and
other lines showed few marked
changes.

SOWING TURNIPS TO
FOLLOW VEGETABLES
Excellent Crop to Utilize Waste
Spaces in Garden.
Reasonably Rich Soil is Essential,
Finely Raked and LeVeIed Off
to Avoid Water Collecting
in Little Pools.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
AS a crop to utilize garden space
after early vegetables have been har-
vested, nothing is better than the
turnip. Turnips should be planted in
most parts of the country about July
% but in the extreme South as late
as the last of August and can be left
in the ground until after several light
frosts or all winter in the South. They
are useful as a table vegetable and to
a limited extent will supply the place
of potatoes. 1t is the general opinion
of specialists of the United States De
partment of Agriculture that the Amer
lean public could consume many more
turnips than it does.
For field sowing, turnfps are usually
broadcast. The particular require
ment is a reasonably rich soil finely
raked and Ieveled off to avoid water
collecting in pools. The seed should
be sowed sparingly. One homely rule
Is to take the quantity which seems
sufficient and divide it in half. After
the seeds have been scattered on the
surface of the ground, they should be
well raked in. This may be done by
dragging a piece of brush over the
ground The surface should be well
smoothed. 1t is a good plan to sow
turnips just after rain, giving them
opportunity TO sprout before a crust
FORMS After sowing they will need
little attention until harvest

GOAT MEAT QUITE SUPERIOR
Most of Product Reaches Market as
Mutton and Is Distinguished by
Sweetness.

Goat meat Is seldom found on the
market as such, yet the average number
of goats slaughtered each year from
1915 TO 1920, inclusive, was IA, 4S7.
1t is probable that most Of this meat
reaches the consumer as mutton,
which it resembles closely, as there
are few cities that require it to be
marketed under its own name. In
cities and towns adjacent to the range
country, however, Angora wetherS are
freely marketed as such and the meat
is consumed without discrimination by
the buyer. When received in large
numbers these wethers usually sell at
about 80 per cent of the price paid for
sheep wethers.
The reduced price OF goat meat is
doubtless attractive to the consumer,
whether he knows what ne Is getting
or thinks he Is buying mutton. Ac-
cording TO Farmers Bulletin 1908, The
Angora Goat, recently issued by the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture, goat meat is usually superior to
mutton that can be bought at the same
price. Some consumers say that they
are able TO distinguish Ii from lamb
and mutton by a characteristic sweet
ness.

SERUM DOES NOT ELIMINATE
Cleanup of Hog Cholera Cannot Be
Expected Through Use of This
Modern Treatment

Some persons think that the use of
hog cholera serum has become so
general that we are far on the way
toward the elimination of the disease.
but, according to the United States
Department of Agriculture, a cleanup
of cholera can not be expected through
the use of this method. Besides. only
a small percentage of the hogs in the
country are treated each year and
there is also almost a complete turn
over of the swine population each
year Every u months we start with
a new lot of pigs and the fight against
disease must start at the beginning
again.
About 5OO,OOO,OOO cubic centimeters
OF serum are used every year. which
means that, counting so cubic cent?
meters for each hog, only about TO-
100000 hogs are treated. In recent
years there have been around 10000
600 hogs in the country on January /.
according to federal crop estimatOrS
which means many more hogs in the
spring and summer. IF all these hogs
were treated cholera would not be
eliminated. 1t would simply be made
impotent to kill many hogs for one
season and would begin TO kill again
the next season if serum were not
used. Serum treatment, like insur-
ance, can not be allowed to lapse.

nate some of the losses frequently
incurred. The principal ones are:
Press the hay in the bale as loosely
as possible to get the minimum weight
in the car.
Load hay in cars with air space
about the bales; standing the bales
on end is considered a good prac-
tice.
Ship first hay to nearby markets
only.
Hay shipped into low or humid ter
ritories should be drier than when
shipped into dry or high sections.
Provide ventilation for cars when
possible.
Bill cars so that no delay will occur
in handling or unloading at destina-
zion.

high. The new hay is heavier, too,
and the shipper profits from the sale
of the water in it, even though it sells
below the price of old hay. The
chance of getting these premiums
causes many shippers to take the risk
of the losses that continually occur.
1t is very doubtful, however, if the
premiums equal the losses during the
first week or two of the movement.
While the shipment of new hay is
not advised until it is cured so as to
contain not more than Il or Is per cent
moisture, a few suggestions are offered

Every year when new hay begins to
be marketed, reports from several cen
trail western hay markets show that
much of the new hay arriving is hot
and out of condition, and must be sold
at heavy discount under the price
quoted for No. 1 hay. There are a
number of causes. but the bureau of
markets and crop estimates of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture believes the principal one is that
the hay is baled and shipped before
1t has cured sufficiently and while it
contains too much moisture.
8aIing Newly Cut Hay Is Risky.
1t is the custom in some sections to
bale the hay from the windrow or
cock in order TO avoid the expense of
stacking or putting in the NOW. 1t
IS almost always true that the first
new hay shipped to the various mark
cts is baled in this way. In most of
the timOthy-producing sections weather
conditions are such that it is not safe
to allow the hay to remain long in
either the windroW or cock, if the
best quality of hay is to be obtained.
Local showers or heavy dews, followed
by a hot sun, will soon cause it to
bleach and deteriOrate 1t is, there
fore the practice to bale just as soon
as, in the judgment of the producer
or shipper, the hay can be safely
shipped. This is frequently entirely
too soon for the conditions under which
1t is marketed.
The movement of hay from dry
to a humid section, or from a cool to
warmer one, increases the proba-
billty of heating. Tight baling and
close packing in the cars are con-
tributing causes, and apply to alfalfa
and prairie hay as well as TO timothy.
Higher Prices Invite Early Shipment.
The easiest way to avoid the losses
caused by hay getting out of condition
is not TO ship new hay until it has gone
through the sweat" and becomes
properly cured in the NOW or stack.
The premiums usually offered for early
shipments of new hay are very in
viting, however The first new hay,
If in good condition, often sells near
the price Of old hay which, as the sea-
son draws to a close, is frequently

food leads them to eat the leaves in
excessive amounts. In order to cause
sickness, however, oak leaves must be
eaten almost exclusively. If eaten
with other feed, the animals are not
injured. 1t has been found expert
mentally that as small a quantity as
8 pounds daily of alfalfa hay feed in
connection with oak leaves prevented
poisoning.
Observations on the range and ex-
perimentaI feeding both show that
some cattle may eat oak leaves for a
long time with no definite bad effects,
and some will even eat them exclusive
ly, with no harm. Generally speaking.
those that are injured show the results
only after eating a considerable guam
tity through a rather prolonged period,
usually from Is to 35 days. The
specialists point out that the oaks on
many ranges furnish a most important
element in summer feed when addi-
tiOnal sources of forage are available
but they urge that care be exercised
during the spring that cattle be not
admitted TO summer range at too early
a date, for oak leaves are well ad-
vanced before the appearance of the
grasses.
