50c Higher Than Previ*
ous Week.
The weekly Vnited States Depart
ment of Agriculture South Omaha
livestock review follows:
Cattle: Curtailment of receipts, here
and elsewhere, coupled with a strong
er turn to the dressed beef markets
at eastern cities, were bullish factors
In the week's fat cattle trade. An
upward trend to values started late
last week and continued practically
throughout the week with the result
that a comparison of closing Values
with those of a week ago shows beef
steers and fat cows and heifers around
60 rents higher. Choice weighty beef
steers established a top for the period,
$10.6,"), with medium weights noted
upward to $10.50. Bulls held firm,
while veals show little or no change.

strong undertone with t\e advancing
fat rattle prices and a net upturn of
around 25 cents is recorded. Bulk of
Stocker and feeder sales are noted
at $fi.25 to $7.75. Top $8.60 with thin
cows end heifers mostly $3.30(fi 5.50.
Hogs: Sweeping advances were re
corded in the hog trade. Heavy eg
ports of lard with diminishing move
ment of hogs to leading markets
coupled with good shipping inquiry
and a broad packer demand have been
principal factors in bringing about
further Improvement. In a general
way hog prices for the seven day
period, under review, have worked 75
cents to $1 higher. Thursday's bulk
of sales ranged from $11.25 to $11,85,
top,.$11.90.
Sheep: Comparing current fat iamb
values with those of a week ago

cents. Thursday's bulk of fed lambs
cleared at $16.60 to $16.75, to $17.00.
Fat sheep are 25 to 50 cents higher,
hulk fat ewes, $7.25 to $9.10. top,
$9.45. Feeding and shearing Iambs

When you’ve a chance dent hesitate.
Just seize it ere it he too late.
—Peter Rabbit
Peter Takes His Chant'S.
refer Rabbit was seeing something
thst he had never even dreamed be
would have a chance to see. He was
seeing Buster Rear awaken from his
long winter sleep. It was something
very few people have ever seen. Tt
was soniething he would remember
all the rest of his life, hut that Just
then he would rather not have seen.
Ruster was making the queerest
noises. There were whines and
grunts and growls all mixed together.
He snuffed and snorted. He drew
long breaths. Peter crouched as far
back as he could get and, making
himself as small as he could, shivered
and shook. Buster began to twitch
his big legs and then to kick them
out. You know he was very stiff. He
was a long time shout It, but at last
Ruster got to his feet.
Peter held his breath. Would Bus
ter look around In that bedroom of
his? Put Ruster didn't. He shook
himself. He bad stopped making
those strange noises. He was making
only one noise now, and that was a
growl, a grumbly, rtimblv growl way
down In his throat. He was back to
Peter. He was looking out toward
the entrance. Slowly, oh, so slowly
he began to move toward that en
trance. He moved very slowly. He
grunted with every step. It seemed
to Peter that he never would get to
that entrance.
Very softly Peter stole along be
hind him. He didn't dare get close to
Ruster's heels, but he wanted to he
near enough to run out of that bed
room at the very first chance. At
the entrance Buster poked his head
out and then he stood .for a long,
lory;, long time, lie couldn't seem to
make up his mind to go out. Once
he half turned as If he had derided
not to go out. You should have seen
Peter Bnhhlt scurry hack to the very
hack of that cave. My, but Peter
was scared!
But Buster didn't s^r him. Once
more he put his head outside and
stood blinking and looking about, lie
sniffed the air. He kept sniffing and

sniffing. He grumbled at the enow.
"I've waked up too early." growled
Buster in his grumbly, rumbly voice.
"I've waked up too early. I may as
well go back and go to sleep again."
But he didn't go 1>ack. He put one
paw out in the snow and then drew
it bark. He did the same tiling with
the other paw. Finally he went
wholly outside and stood looking
around.
Now Peter was right at his heels.
Now was his chance. With a great
Jump Peter bounded out past Buster
Bear, and away he went ltpperty-ltp
perty llp. My, how Peter did run! He
made straight for a pile of brush and
crept into it. Not until then did he
look back. Buster Bear was standing
right there at the entrance to his
bedroom, blinking his eyes.
•Now where did that long eared
rascal come from?” grumbled Buster
with a funny look »>f surprise on
his face. ”1 didn't see him anywhere
about. Yet he seemed to run out from
right under my nose. If I were hun
gry I’d just go pull that pile of
brush to pieces. But I don’t feel hun
gry I don’t feel as if I had any
stomach at all. I guess I’ll look
around a bit and then I’ll go back
and finish my sleep.”
So without another look In Peter's
direction Buster Bear slowly shuffled
away. Peter drew a long breath.
Then he looked around sharply to
see If Reddy Fox was snywhers
about. Iteddy wasn't. Peter drew an
other long breath, "t can’t get hark
to the dear Old Briar Patch too
quickly," aald he and off he started.
