UNION STOCK YARDS, April 22.—Trade
was fairly brisk and prices reasonably
steady in the Jive stock market today
The supply was made up almost entirely
of cattle.
Five bogs came in and the best ones
sold at 8 cents and a small flock of goats
sold at prices all the way from liVa to 4'/a
cents. Of cattle, 270 cows, heifers and
steers, and 115 calves were offered, and
while buyers were aware that some weak-
ness prevailed in the Northern marnets,
there was no special effort made to bear
prices.
Steers were the slow sellers, lor the
reason that they were not in prime con-
dition. Cows sold up to $5 and heifers
made $4.60, but the bulk of the female of-
ferings sold from $3 to $4.50. A few calves
sold at $">, but the bulk of them landed
between $£l.75@4.25. Something over 500
iheep, more than (300 goats and 24 horses
Here here en route to other markets.

Editor Vories P. Brown of the Stock-
man and Farmer calls the attention
of the farmer to the fact that he must
be vigilant all the time if he hopes to
get the best results. Speaking particular-
ly of corn he says:
"In testing seed corn the test should
be applied to each ear, as an ear of corn
has from 800 to 1,000 kernels, and one
dead or weak ear may cause the loss
of from 800 to 1,000 stalks, which would
mean a loss of from eight to twelve
bush el ss in the crop."

Why is it that Kansas City gets the
bulk of the mutton shipments from Tex-
as, but has never been able to corral beef
shipments from the San Antonio terri-
tory? The shippers claim that they
know very little about the Kansas City
market, as few shippers to that market
visit San Antonio and the prospect of
working up business does not seem bright
enough to justify putting a representa-
tive down here. It seems to be a case
of "When a man bloweth not his own
horn the same shall not be bio wed."

Henry Perkins of Fort Worth, Marion
Gammons of El Paso and Ed Tyson of
Portales, it is said, have sailed for
Brazil to accept employment with the
Brazil Land and Cattle Company, of
which Murdo Mackenzie is manager. The
Express is not willing as yet to accept,
the story as correct. The boys may have
left for Brazil, but they will be of very
little service as cowboys over there
even if they do speak Spanish. The
Portugese language is spoken over there
exclusively, and besides it will be a year
or more before Mr. McKenzie will need
any cowboys. The ranch has not even
been surveyed as yet, much less fenced
and stocked.

J. H. Gage is back in the city from
Jnez, where he has Just loaded out thirty-
three loads of steers for his Oklahoma
pastures. "There has been considerable
rain down that way of late," said he
yesterday, "which has interfered some-
what with marketing the pastures, but
1 will finish up my shipments on the
Soth inst. The rains there have not been
so heavy as further clown, however." A
large proportion of the steers shipped
Mr. Gage have been fours and fives and
he is expecting them to develop into very
choice beef early in the season. He has
not heard directly from his pastures
lately, but he is taking this as evidence
that the weather has warmed up and
that the grass is coming nicely.

The markets showed a disposition to
tumble Monday though receipts were not
excessive. All of them were quoted slow
to lower except St. Louis, where receipts
were only 2,500. If the majority's rate
tip there was for the purpose of making
tha-' market exclusively native the com-
mission men may be congratulated on the
great success attending the'r effort. One
train of cattle from Uvalde is now on
its way to Kansas City, which otherwise
would have gone there. Chicago had
2,20ft, K&nsas City 8,000 and Fort Worth
1,000.

Texas cows in Fort "Worth and Mis-
souri cows in Kansas City have sold
lately at $7 rer hundred. The important
question jtist now is whether the farmer
who sells them is exhibiting good judg-
ment in doing so. The Kansas City
Drovers' Telegram has very serious
doubts in the subject and says:
"Are cattle owners rushing into the
same kind of a mess that hog growers
fell into a few yearn since? Dur'ng th*
extremely high i>eriod in 1910, when nogs
*at on the front Beat of the nobility,
prices were so atti active that farmers
sold their brood sows for the market.
Nature was so incensed at such a pro-
reeding that immediately she inaugurated
a special brand of drouth and heat to
|>ay in short field crops the men who
•sacrificed the Nation's mortgage lifters
for temporary *ain. It was bad busi-
ness. A cow weighing 1.610 pounds wa*»
sold on this market yesterday at V, for
Which the shipper paid the farmer 1100
rVrraitily HOG is a high pile of money to

Pounds,
even
and foliii
on the plan that a bird in hand is worth
a couple on the limb of a tiee the
farmer concluded to swap the beef for
the coin, letting posterity take care of
:tse<f. There may come a time when the
farmer will long for that cow. Certainly
he will if his example in selling breeding
stock is followed by any considerable
number of farmers."

Tne Armour Packing Company of Kan-
sas City secure! the contract for beef
and pork for the Missouri penitentiary
for the ensuing year. The Cudahy Com-
pany has the expiring contract and gets
the mutton department of the new one.
The figures for beef range from $7.41 to
$7.91, this being an average of $1.20 higher
than the expiring contract. The other
bidders for the beef were: Cudahy Pack-
ing Company, $S.50 per hundred pounds;
Sulzberger & Sons Company, JS.65; St.
Louiq Dressed Beef and Provision Com-
pany, $8.40; Swift & Co., $8.96. The pork
and sausage contract went to Armour at
$9.83 per hundred pounds for shoulders
and $0.92 to $8.45 per hundred pounds for
sausage. The mutton contract secured
by the Cudahy Company is $7.50 per hun-
dred pounds. The bulk of the meat con-
sumed at the prison is beef, pork and
mutton being used only occasionally. Be-
tween $60,000 and $75,000 worth of meat
is used aniually to feed the 2,300 Inmates
of the prison.

Capt. Charles Schrelner of Kerrville
stated yesterday he had sold about 300,000
pounds of mohair already and that he
would have about 200,000 pounds more as
soon as the accumulation was complete.
While he did not state the selling price,
it is generally understood that it was
about 30 cents per pound. "Manufacturers
weer good bidders," said he, "and I believe
that the next sale will bring even higher
prices. This seems to he according to the
eternal fitness of things, for the mohair
growers have been faithful of late years,
notwithstanding proper encouragement has
not been extended them at all times."
The ten loads of the Cyrus R. Lucas
pteers from Berelair will be on the Okla-
homa City market this morning, provided
there is no unnecessary delay. The boys
will do considerable marketing before tlie
report comes in to see who is the best
guesser on weights and price, as they
kuow what class of cattle they are.
The receipts of cattle at the six leading
markets so far this year show a decrease
in cattle of 180,000 head; an increase of
913,000 hogs and an Increase of 440,000
sheep as compared with last year.

The twenty-seventh annual convention of
the Montana Stock Growers' Association
closed its essions in Miles City last week.
Kenneth Mills of Miles City was elected
president and W. D. Raymond of Helena
secretary and treasurer. It endorsed Wil-
liam E. Skinner for Live Stock Commis-
sioner to have charge of that feature dur-
ing the Panama Exposition, and urged the
Montana Legislature to appropriate $50,000
to be used in infecting the wolves on the
ran^e with mange, which eventually kills
them.
The agricultural and stock department
of Tasmania recognizes the value of the
sheep shearing machines and has given
out the folowiug statement:1
"This is the age of pnogression; the
blade sheep shearers are giving place to
machine shearers, as in turn the sickle
passed away to he superseded by the
reaper and hinder. Machine shearing
shortens the wool harvest, particularly
when weather variations are in some sea-
sons a delay and annoyance. There is no
gainsaying the great advantage of ma-
chine over blade shearing: it is quicker,
and in the case of wet seasons will enable
the owner to have his wool in readiness
to take advantage of the first favorable
market, which on some occasions might
make a great financial difference."
CATTLE SALES HEAVY
Fort Worth Has Big Receipts on First
Day.
Special Telegram to The Express.
FORT WORTH, Tex., April 22,-The
cattle trade for the first commercial day
of the week was steady and active on
all classes except bulls and the common
quality steers. The latter were a dime
to a quarter lower.
Receipts were the largest since the
spring of 1909, with 8,500 cattle and 1,800
calves, as compared with 4,836 cattle
and 319 calves a week ago and 5,566 cattle
and 156 calves a year ago. Of the big
day's supply, 2,500 cattle and 60 calves
were on through billing, bound for pas-
ture.
Beef steers: With more than a hun-
dred loads of 75 of beef cattle in the
pens, and the bulk of these of a grade
to sell below $5.50, there were bound to
be attempts to shade the values of the
inferior kinds. The good steers, those
due to sell from $5.75 to $7.00 or better,
made steady to strong prices; all the
others sold on a lower market—10c to a
quarter lower. The top price was $7.10
on a load of 1,150 pounds; steers of 1,140
pounds sold at $ti.75; five loads weighing
1,040 pounds sold at $6.60, eleven loads
of around 1,025 went to the scales at
$6.50, and about fifty loads in the early
selling made $5.30fct6.30.
Stockers and feeders: There was a
good heavy run of feeder steers and val-
ues were unchanged from those prevail-
ing last week, but action was delayed
until the bulk of the beef cattle had been
sent to the scales.
Butcher cows and*heifers: More cows
fit for beef were on the market than for
a month of Sundays and prices ruled
strong with an active movement. A good
many butchers wanted supplies and this
helped on the activitv of the market.
Five loads and better of the Winfield
Scott cows made the day's top $5.30, and
carloads sold at $1.60 and $4.40. The bu.K
of odd lot cows had a spread of $4.50
to $5.
Bulls: The tremendous run of steers
caused a hesitancy In the bull trade that
made prices look lower. The best bulls
sold at $4.60, the scattering ones selling
from $4.25 to $4.50.
Calves: The very good run of calves,
around 1,000 head, was headed bv three
loads of the Winfield Scott kind, and an
attempt was made to sell them on the
same basis as before the decline. This
did not succeed. th~ vealers finallv sell-
ing steady with last week's decline at
$7.o0. The remainder of the supply sold
steady.
Hogs: The Monday hog trade was 5 to
10 cents lower than the close of last
week. Receipts ran ciose to 1,500 head,
compared with 1,554 a week ago and 2,217
a year ago.
Some outside buying had a tendency to
keep the market from going lower than
it really did, and the good hogs sold from
$7.85 to $8.10. The bulk of the mixed
packers sold from $7.50 to $7.95, the light
end of the supply went over from $7 to
$7.40. Pigs sold from $5 to $5.50.
Sheep: The Monday run in the sheep
house totalled around 2.800 head. Of
these four decks were brush goats and
two decks wool wethers thin in flesh.
These were not suitable for slaughter,
and were sent forward. AH the rest of
supply sold steady to weak. Isowr

PEXSACOLA, Fla., April 2S.-In a pis-
tol duel last night In a saloon at Milton,
Fla., George W. Allen was killed by

wour.d in the chest. Both Allen and Pen- I
ton had been tried for alleged murders in j
Santa Rosa County in the past and juries \
acquitted in each case. The duel last
night was the termination of an old fued
caused by Allen testifying against Pen*^n
and taking a prominent part in the prose-
cution of the latter for the alleged murder
of Felix Corbin, a Government witness in
a peonage case.
