Hard to Find Which Cattle Pay Best, Iowan Declares A load of short-fed yearling cattle was brought to the Omaha market by Charles Randall of Riverside, Ia„ who said it had been a problem to figure out what kind of stock would bring the best price. "It is hard to decide what kind of cattle to buy this fall for feeding," said Mr. Randall, "as the market has been so changeable. J think I will feed some yearlings and also some heavier cattle. I have found that it pays well to raise calves, but bigger steers pay better to let run In the corn field."

"The cattle were given a finish on corn for the past 60 days and 1 find it was quite a paying proposition on the steers and about an even break on the heifers. My shipment is the first of cattle to come out of the Sioux county section so far this sea son ami there are quite a few on the range that will be brought to market in a short time. “Our crop of wild hay is about the same ns last year and there is plenty of feed. The cattle are doing well and the farmers are waiting to let them finish before sending them to mar ket." Corn too Costly to Feed Iowa Cattlemen Believe N. K. Kafer came in from Jeffer son, la., with a load of feeders. He expressed the opinion that from pres ent indications there would be a re duction of feeding operations this fall around his section. “Our corn is good and there will be a lpt of it. but some of the feeders are afraid it will be too high to feed. Present cattle prices are reasonable, but it is hard to tell when they are being bought right to pay for hand ling them. A large number of steers are being put into the lots at Glldden, but only a few around Jefferson so far." Atlantic Stockmen Hold Back for Higher Prices C. H. Lllenthal brought a load of prime steers to the Omaha market from Atlantic, la., that were good enough to bring $9.75 a hundred for feeders. “Most of the farmers have been holding on for a big fail market," said Mr. Lllenthal. "Consequently the run from my section has not been large until recently, which fact is explained by the market taking so many rapid jumps during the sum mer and the farmers looking for an extraordinary high scale of prices.

Somt things prove not .just as they looked. And ft're you know it von are Ifooked. —Spotty the Turtle. " a Two Folks Ar« .Much Surprised. Up, up, up Spotty the Turtle was drawn toward the surface of the Smiling Pool. By this time he was so tired that he could hardly strug gle at all. And he blamtd It all to tbb worm he held in his mouth and couldn't let go of. What would hap pen when he reached the surface? Where would that worm drag him to? How he did wish he knew! Suddenly his head popped out of water, and he was dragged along on top, perfectly helpless. That worm was dragging rflm straight toward the bank of the Smiling Pool. He was half way there before he saw, standing on the bank, Farmer Brown's Boy. If Spotty hadn't been so frightened and could have understood the ex presslon on Farmer Brown's Boy's face I'm sure he would have laughed. "Well, what do you know about this!” exclaimed Farmer Brown's Boy. "I've caught Spotty the Turtle and all the time I thought It was a fish that was on my hook!" Of course. Spotty didn't understand this He didn't understand anything that had happened. He knew noth ing about fish hooks. He still thought It was the worm that kept such a tight hold on him. Instead of which, of course, it was the hook on the end of the line with which Farmer Brown's Boy had been fish ing. Farmer Brown’s Boy drew Spotty in to the bank, and then stooped over and picked him up. Then that dreadful pull on Spotty's mouth ceased. That was a relief, a great relief. But Spotty was no less fright ened than before. What wras this great giant going to do with him? He drew his legs and his head Into | his shell. That was the only way he had of protecting himself. Then he waited for what would happen n«t. j What did happen was that old pull on his mouth again. In spite of all | he could do, his head was pulled out of his shell. “You poor little chap! said Farmer Brown's Boy softly. “Of course you haven't the least idea what has happened to you, ami you are frightened nearly to death. It is a good thing you* havn’t swal lowed that hook. I don’t know what w’e could have done if you had. It is only caught in the corner of your mouth. We'll have it out In a Jiffy " Farmer Brown's Boy was as good Farmer Brown's Boy stooped down and placed him on the and of an old log. as his word. Taking care to hurt Spotty as little as i>ossible, he got that hook out. Then Spotty could withdraw his head into his shell again, and you may be sure he did this promptly. He thought that that worm had let go, for of course when Farmer Brown's Boy had taken the hook out he had taken the worm with it. His mouth was a little sore, but otherwise he was all right, though still very much frightened. Farmer Brown's Boy stooped and placed him on the end of an old log which lay in the water. Then Farm er Brown's Boy stepped back. Km ft few minutes Spotty didn't move Then very slowly and cautiously he poked his head put. lie couldn't set Farmer Brown's Boy, for the latter was behind him. But lie could see the water right in front of him. Out came his legs, and the way he scrambled off that log into tlie Smil ing I’ool was funny to see. He was free and safe again, and as surprised n turtle ns ever lived. And without ipally thinking about It, Its kn'W that he hud nothing to f»ar from Farmer Brown's Boy.
