Ask the Old Farmer: What is the
"youngest" antique sold these
days and how young can one be 7
And I mean aside from auto
mobiles which, as I understand,
can be officially "antique" at age

You don't talk about "young" an
tiques If they are less than a century in age, they are "vertod pieces 'lf
over, it depends on what country you are in Nothing is antique in Scan
dinavia if it is less than 500 years old
Home Hints; To remove grease spots from carpeting, brush in baking soda
leave overnight and then vacuum

Livestock morket and auction news
Report supplied by USDA
Midweek prices on
slaughter steers were 25-50
cents higher and heifers
mostly 50 cents higher. Cows
were 1.00-2.00 lower and
bulls mostly steady.
Four day receipts 12,300,
last week 11,700, a year ago
13,400.
Trading on fed steers and
heifers followed a rather
stable course and for the
third consecutive week,
closing prices were higher
than at the close of the
previous period. Marketings
were little changed from the
previous week, and were
well distributed over the
trading period. One buyer
was still out of operation, but
there was a rather good
demand for cattle to be
slaughtered at points outside
the immediate Omaha area.
Yield Grade was often a
greater price-determining
factor than quality grade.
Reflection of the narrow
differential between Choice
and Good carcasses. The
overall finish of the steer and
heifer supply was fairly
attractive. A rather liberal
percentage Choice and
several loads Choice and
Prime. Slaughter steers
made up approximately 42
pet and heifers 32 pet. Cows
comprised 12 pet. and
feeders 12 pet.
STEERS: Load Choice
