Omaha, Nebraska.
Cnion Stockyards. Omaha . Aug.
29. As predicted by us last week,
the receipts of western grass cattle
show a considerable increase at all
markets, and Omaha received its
share. All the packers had "killed
out" everything last week, and were
free buyers, and the outside demand
VII also good, giving us an active
market, although prices will average
1... o r0 I,... . , i . i t. i ; ...
last week on most grades.
Beef steers and butchers stock suf
fered most as the supply of stockers
and feeders continue moderate. The
"dry" sections are sending stock to
market, which will have a tendency
to affect the market on all kinds of
stock cattle, but we don't believe this
forced liquidation will be very exten
sive or last long. Mr. Hoover tells
us we must furnish more beef than
ever for our boys and alliies. and we
will be able ;.nd glad to continue to
do this.
Present prices are quite satisfac
tory to the selling interests, although
fully justified from a supply and de
mand standpoint, and) also from the
cost of production Ranch and farm
labor is scarce even at the high scale
of wages prevailing, and unless ex
emptions are made under the new
draft, (lie production of live stock
will he curtailed. We believe, how
ever, that those in authority under
stand (ha necessity of Increased pro
duction and thai sufficient capital
and labor must be furnished by some
txdy to accomplish this.
Most of the range or grass sec
tions tributary to the Omaha market
seem to have good feed, and we be
lli v.- m; ny owners will hold back
shipments should the market break
severely, and with the corn crop
practically assured, although short
of early estimates, we expect a
stroni.' dein: nd for all kinds of cat
tle during the fall months. Packers
can well afford to buy frt nettle at
good prices as the outlet Is assured
for practically all they can slaughter
I a .die. but wo look for liberal
supplies during the next three
months, and think there will be times
when the markets will rule lower,
but our "guess" is that we will not
have anything like "low" prices for
any length of time this year or next.
World conditions, present and
prospective, are certainly favorable
for the live stock interests and we
again advise our readers to play the
"game" to the full limit of their
judgment and capacity on their own
account, as well as from the stand
point of patriotism.
The Bowles company hnve sold a
good many sandhill Wyoming and
South Dakota cattle this week:
During the first two days selling 760
lb. whiteface feeders at J 0.75; 100
lb. feeders at $12.50; 1050 lb. beef

ami many others in proportion.
The trade is closing stronc at laRt
week's best prices for all kinds of
cattle.
Stockers and feeders are selling
well, hut the tendency is toward a
IKtta lower r.nge in prices for the
litrht and poorer grades. Fleshv
feeders with quality will sell well all
of the time We quote Nebraska

lected cattle generally 25c to 75c
higher than these quotations.
Wnth continued moderate receipts
of hogs and a stronc demand, the
I trade ruled active and the bulk sold
I from $18.75 to $19.25 and the out-
look Is still favorable for several
weeks at least.
August receipts of sheep and
l lambs are the largeRt on record, hut
i the demand continues strong and
I nrices are high, with fat and feeding
! lambs selling from $17.00 to $17 65;
: fat ewes $11 00 to $11.50; feedlnc
J ewes $8.50 to $10.00. We expect
lartrer receipts next month, and will
not be surprised to see some decline

I any time.

8EA80NABLE GOOD THINGS
One never has too many good things
In the fruit cellar for winter use. The
following may be
new to some and
suggestive to
many :
Apple Catsup.
Peel and quarter a
dozen apples', stew
them in u very lit
tle water until
soft, then run them
through a sieve. To u quart of the
sifted apples add one cupful of sugar,
one teaspoonful of pepper, the same
of cloves and cinnamon and two medium-sized
onions, chopped fine. Stir
ull together, add one tablespoonful of
salt and a cupful of vinegar. Boil one
hour and bottle while hot.
A cupful of apple Juice added to two
upfols of ripe grape juice will make
a nice jelly.
Wild Grapes for Winter Use
Carefully remove all the stems from
wild grapes which have been picked
after the frost has sweetened them
und place them In a stone crock with
hirers of sugar between, until the
crock Is full. Cover with a donble
thickness of cloth and tie newspaper
OVW the cover. Keep on the cellar
floor in a cool place. The grapes cure
themselves und keep their fresh taste,
nuckleberrles and blueberries may be
treated in the same way.
Pear Preserves. Part the fruit very
thin, make a sirup of a pint of water
to a pound of sugar, and when It is
clear, put In a pound of pears und
stew gently until they are clear. Place
a clove in the blossom end of each
pew and add the juice and Ihlnly
pared rind of a lemon to each five
pounds of fruit.
Peach Preserves. Take three-quarters
of a pound of sugar to each
pound of the fruit. Pat the suur with
a cupful of water and boll and klm.
1'are the peaches and cut them in
halves or quarter, then in the sirup
for ten minutes. Take out the fruit
carefully, placing it in the Jar, boil
the sirup for fifteen minutes or until
It is thick, pour over the fruit and

The annual county convention of
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union will be held in Antloch, Thurs
day, September 5. As It is the annual
election of officers it Is an Important
meeting and all members of our local
union should plan to attend. The
committee on arangeaients for con
veyances is Mrs. F. E. Sanders, Mrs.
W. E. Cutis and Mrs. F. M. Phelps.
Call them on the phone and tell
them that you are going. Any one
having a car that could be used in
conveyance, kindly call these ladies
for arrangement, also.
Why is it that of two persons of the same age and respon
sibilities you'll find one who always seems young and bony
antly healthy, while the other just feels his way through life,
ailing, complaining and growing old rapidly?
Tlie difference Lief in nerve energy. One conserves it the
Other dissipates it through faulty nerve action.
Normal nerve aclion, which brings about a normal distri
bution of energy in the body, is the basin of health. Those who
are not always at their best, thoroughly well, virile, energetic,
strong, healthy and ambitious, should let the Chiropractor,, by
scientific adjustment of the spine, correct faulty nerve action.
Then Nature, by normal distribution of energy, can revitalize
and regenerate every part of the body to the normal state that
results invariably in great material benefit.
