On The Chicago Livestock Market
BY WELLER q WELLER co.


TT WOULD be practically impossible TO
| compare yesterdays receipts of the Sc
- ven principal western markets with Mon
day last week. as Il large number Of the
markets were closed on account Of Labor
Day, but our receipts here were consider
ably lighter than they were last Monday,
but with large numbers at the other centers
the trade went off little as compared with
the close OF last week, especially In Chi
cago, and packers and order buyers here
were very bearish. While they started out
yesterday TO take on their supply at about
steady prices, trade became rather slug
gish later on In the day, and we only could
call our market fairly steady
KILLING CATTLE-Our receipts today
were very light, and Chicago, with 1900
cattle reports very little action and low
er tendency on everything except the real
choice Killers. There were practically no
grain fed cattle on the trade yesterday. but
last Friday we had two loads OF baby
beeyes that averaged 715 lbs and that
brought $1,000 per cwt., straight up The
best sale Of range butcher steers yesterday
was S7.25, with a good number around Z
cents, and the bulk of the grass steers be-
tween S6.25 and S675, with the in-hetween
killing. kinds showing spread from $3.50
to S6.15, and the common ones from cents
down. The market was represented mostly
by Dak0tans and Canadians. with just a
sprinkling OF MOntanas We had some
Montana steers just in fair flesh which
sold for cents a pound, but there was
week ago. The run yesterday consisted
chiefly OF steers and this one fact kept the
female market steady. The veal calf mar
ket IL mostly from $1,000 TO $1,000, with
heavy western from $500 to $500, and Gull
veals from $500 to 5000 This market is
working lower.
sT0CKERs AND FEEDERs-The qua
lily In this division was little better than
previous Mondays, aud there was fairly
active demand from both order and coun-
try buyers, and we would call trade IN
this division strong TO % cents higher.
Some real good lunches sold up 10 $675,
and a good share OF the offerings were
good enough to cash in the range of $500 to
$3.50 with the common and in-between
kinds from $3.50 down TO $500. Stock cows
were mostly $3.50 to $3.75, with some real
good stock heifers up to $4.50 Prospects
are for an active trade In this division, but
do not expect prices to advance much
HOGs--The hog top today Is $500 "a
outsiders for some select hogs, with s0ws
mostly around $3.50, and pigs around $500
We do not look for much change In this
division.
sHEEP--There is a good active trade II
this department. and some real choice west
ern lambs would sell up to 1880 but W,
are getting very few OF them at this time
Prospects are that they VIII not start I,
move until after the middle OF October 81
II you have any that are ready for mar
ket we would advise You TO get them In
There y an exceptionally strong demand
for breeding ewes, some good western eve
would sell from 500 to $3.50. and we be
lieve some yearllng ewes would bring VI
to 5000 on the market today.

Park City Boy Leads State
Inn BOYS Club Activities

member of agricultural clubs at
Park City for the past three years.
While his work from the start has
been largely with corn, each of his
three years as a club member has
also found him enrolled in garden
club work and in 1928 he went
into poultry work. He has been
highly successful in all his ventures,
but his corn club work has brought
him the highest recognition. Each
year since his entrance into the work
has seen his exhibits win at tra state
fair, the Midland Empire fair, and
corn show, and last year he gained
national honors by placing third in
the Boys and Girls Club Division OF
the International Hay and Grain
Show At this time he won all the
first and a number of seconds and
thirds with his corn.
The record of the Park City boys
winnings at the various exhibitions
in 1922 and 1923 and the cash re-
turns from his many enterprises
shows that his efforts have been we'll
rewarded. In 1922 his quarter acre
garden brought him S55 and S25 In
prizes at the various fairs. In 1928
one acre OF corn yielded better than
ga bushels, and his receipts from this
acre, including s62 In prizes, was
1926. His garden this year brought
him returns of 5000 and $25 In
prizes His venture into the poul-
try business with 20 hens returned
him $4215 and SO in prizes.
The effect of Herbert Zwisler's
work upon this community has been
one of the striking by-products. He
has been one of the leaders In intro
cucing corn growing in that part OF
Montana. and especially important
has his influence been in encourag-
ing the use of the right kind of ac-
climated seed. In 1923 the farmers
In saltwater county planted so
bushels of seed corn that had been
grown by Herbert Zwisler.
Each year of his club work has
seen the state champion rise to new
levels. In 1923 he was a member of
the corn Judging team which won
first honors at the State Corn Show,
and in that year he was also a mem
Der of the livestock judging team
which placed third at the state fair
In the spring Of 1924 he was appoint
ed club leader for the Park City
clubs and has developed an excep-
tionally fine leadership ability. This
year he is a member of and is also
training corn demonstration team
and corn Judging team both OF
which will compete at the state fair
and the Midland Empire fair. He is
also keeping up his corn and garden
club work and has exhibits at all the
larger fairs of the state this fall.

HART INSTITUTES
PRACTICAL LABOR
SAVING MACHINES
From Montana State College

X w. HART OF Hedgesville, Mon
tana, in addition to being the
inventor of the Hart Header
barge" referred to in Bulletin II OF
the Montana State College Extension
Service on Reducing Wheat Harvest
ing Costs, as "one 0 fthe most ingen-
ious labor-saving systems found in
the whole study of threshing meth
DDS" has also developed an econom-
zeal and efficient method of operat-
ing his combine harvester.
According to Bulletin II, he
mounted Day-Elder truck motor on
a combine harvester In such a way
that II both propels the combine and
drives the thresher. A regular farm
grain wagon is hitched to the com
bine, the grain spout discharging in
to same. When one wagon is full il
is dropped and replaced by an empty
wagon. The grain is hauled A miles
to an elevator by auto trucks. Three
men harvest and haul to the station.
A small dynamo attached to the mot
or supplies the light for night run
ming.
Mr.. Hart thinks that the combine
Is a success, but that a system of dry
Ing the grain will be necessary in
damp years. He has met this prob
lem by designing special drying bin.
BY means of a high-pressure rotary
fan operated by a 1920 tractor en-
CINE the grain is blown from an out
side dump through six-inch stove
pipe into the bin where it is to be
stored. The outfit is inexpensive and
is used both for drying and for load
ing grain. Mr.. Hart has found that
the air blast thoroughly dries the
grain and removes the possibility OF
loss from that source.
Bulletin II is full of ingenious de-
vices which have enabled farmers OF
Montana to reduce their harvesting
bills. 1t may be had free, by writing

sion Service, Bozeman, Montana.

Long strings of freight cars are
