HOW STRANGE
Why Dont They Pay More Attention
to 1 heir Highways
It is certainly surprising to note
the number of substantial farmers
who pay little or no attention to
ward beautifying the home and
general surroundings. The hed
ges are allowed t > go untrimmed
from vear to year, shutting out
the view from the public road, of
fine, fertile Helds, that arc gener
ally well farmed and are attract
ive. The weeds along the roads
are nearly as high as the hedge,
while the yard about the home is
ofttimes no more presentable.
A man in town who owned a
$20,000 home no better kept would
be considered slovenly and thrifty,
tasty neighbors would look for a
different neighborhood. As an
example of twentieth century
farming we call your attention to
what is known for miles around
as Pennsylvania avenue, between
this city and Morrill, Kans. Were
the farms of this entire county
kept in the same sightly condition
it would enhance the value £25
per acre in the eye of any home*
seeker from the east. In fact
these farms are more attractive
than many of the homes in sur
rounding towns, including Falls
City.
The human family are becom
ing so absorbed in doing just
those things that will cash in at
any time that they lorget all
about the home surroundings, the
lawn, fences, and little things
that make the place attractive)
are either secondary or let go en
tirely. What a contrast when
you ride through a country where
the hedge on every farm is
trimmed to a uniform height and
the farmers unite in plying the
Missouri drag to the public high
way for miles along their respect
ive homes whenever needed, and
then drift into a neighborhood
where these things were never
thought of. Where would you
rather buy a farm if you were
looking for a country home?

tom- Road.
One of the features in the good
roads problem haw had its efficiency
and practicability well illustrated
by recent high water movements
in southeastern Nebraska. At
Auburn there is a two-mile stretch
of elevated macadamized road-bed
leading across the Nemaha river
bottom into town. This road was
built jointly by the U. S. govern
ment and the business interests
directly concerned. During the
wet weather Hurries of the present
spring and summer this piece of
road has shown its efficiency by
affording sure and easy access to j
town for the farmers east of the!
river, while other towns similarly j
situated, but without the conven
ience of an elevated road, have had
their trade relations with the farm
ing public greatly hampered, and
the farmers have been greatly dis
commoded and the work of repair- .
iug roads is simply an afterthought, j
together with the expense it will |
necessarily entail. The public
road question for eastern Nebraska j
is to become a live issue at no dis- I
taut day from a strictly business
point of view, and it must be
handled upon broadest of lines.
Half way measures in public road
construction are but a nuisance,
mid sadly out of date. We must
build for permanency and strictly

MARKET LETTER
From Our Regular Kansas City
Stock Yards Correspondent
Kansas City Stock Yards,
July 2(J, 1908.
The cattle market continued to
soften last week in spite of moder
ate receipts, grass killing steers
getting most of the decline, 80 to
50 cents, grass cows 20 to 80 cents
lower, stockers and feeders a quar
ter lower, while fed steers held
nearly steady. The run is 12000
head today, moderate for this sea
son, held down by the unsatisfac
tory market last week. Pastures
all over the native territory are in
good shape, and cattle doing well,
and owners are reluctant to turn
them loose while there is a pros
pect of adding to the weight. The
market today is unevenly lower on
steers again, caused maiuly by a
heavy run at Chicago today, and
lower prices there. The supply of
quarantines here is light, and is
not a factor in depressing the mar
ket. Cows are about steady today,
also stockers and feeders. A sale
of pretty good steers at $6.05 this
morning is considered 15 to 25
cents below close of last week,
other sales about 10 lower, grass
steers from Kansas and Missouri
pastures $1.50 to $5.00, grass cows
$2.50 to $8.60, bulls $2 10 to $8.75,
canners $1.75 to $2.50. Calves
sold higher last week, tops $6.00 to
$6.25, but have lost slightly from
the high time. Shipments from
the Panhandle country are begin
ning to move freely, mid a good
many stockers and feeders are iu
cluded, at $3.00 to $4.40. Okla
homa feeders sold today at $4.00,
light weights. Shipments to tho
country last week amounted to 300
car loads, and this trade will grow
each week from now on.
nog prices declined UOcents last
week, under the influence of a de
termined bear campaign by the
packers, and in spite of moderate
receipts. The run is 4000 head
today, market about steady at the
close, after ruling weaker a part of
the session. Speculative reasons
are given for the attitude of pack
ers, together with the increasing
proportion of grassy stuff included,
which they claim has been selling
too close to good hogs. Heavy
weights still lead, although ship
pers have also paid top price for
good medium weight butchers.
Top today is $0,50, bulk $6.80 to
$645, light weights up to $6.40,
which prices are about a quarter
higher than at this time last year.
