But only half of this 5.2 per cent was due to increased prices. The other half came from increased buying. OLD mu MAH^ CATTLE - Compared with previous weeks close - clos ing prices on slaughter steers and heifers were mostly steady, although some weakness developing on steers late in reflection of a bearish carcass trade. A few closing sales weak to 25c. lower. Cows were fully steady and bulls firm to 50c. higher. Four day receipts 15,800- compared to 15,900 previous week and 14,800 a year ago. A fed cattle trade again followed a rather stable pat tern as modest midweek sup plies were sufficient to large ly offset the effects of a bearish carcass trade. Most interests came into the week with fair live inventories on hand, but after Monday many were in need of cattle for immediate re quirements. Best demand continued to center on Choice 1050-1300 lb. steers and same grade 923-1050 lb. heifers. The overall finish of the steer and heifer run on Weather-resistant RAMIK Brown rodenticide keeps shape, freshness, taste, potency. Count on a long period of excellent control. Potent treatment costs little in comparison with loss of just a few of your trees. What’s one of your trees worth? What will a bushel of fruit bring? Figure what your loss would be from just one dead tree root-pruned or girdled and killed by orchard mice (pine or meadow voles) Then figure the application of highly effective Ramik Brown weather-resistant rodentcide You’ll find Ramik well worth it l Ramik bait is 26% protein As food sources diminish after harvest, meadow voles go all out for highly palatable, apple-flavored, mouse-sized Ramik pellets and leave your trees alone Most other foods simply do not attract rodents as high-protein Ramik does The quiet killer Ramik Brown pellets contain a small amount of the well-known anticoagulant, diphacinone . a killing agent used by professional exterminators Diaphacinone thins out the blood so that the vole bleeds internally, painlessly, ano dies Because diphacinone is in such low concentration, the vole does not react violently Ramik does not “signal” its killing ingr"dient Chance of bait shyness is much lessened Ramik lasts long, does the job A special patented manufactunng process helps Ramik pellets retain shape, palatability and potency, Omaha Cattle Omaha, Neb.
