Representative Cattle Sales.
Chicago, March 1.
Below are given a few of the repre-
antatiye cattle sales:
Suckers and Feeders.

Values are 10dD20 cents lower than
ut the high time two weeks ago bat
country buyers say they are still too
high to suit them. There has been no
substantial Improvement in the marltel
for fat cattle to encourage the outside
buyers. Good feeders are selling OF
the highest point of the year, but the
time of the year is approaching whc'l
the right kinds Will. be still harder 10
find. and if the demand continues
strong as ii has for some time, traders
predict higher prices. The trend of tn"
fat cattle market has not been con-
duo i've to extensive operations in feed
ing stock. tho there has been Il good
healthy and reliable outlet for all that
were offered. The best selected feeders
are now quoted at $5M5.3,. with the
lighter kinds at $4.T5M490. There is
more inquiry for the good feeders than
else Medium to good stock
ers sold last week at $4.400D4.6 Ga, with a
good many of the common to fair
light weights at S3I50dI3 rs

FARMHOUSE SANITATION.

The problem of house sanitation is
largely solved by city residents who
have Drainage from their houses direct
into good sewage systems In smaller
towns and in the country. where such
an outlet is not possible, the matter of
the house drainage and closet should
receive careful attention. Where the
householder has the means by all odds
the best system is an indoor toilet
room, coupled with good drainage for
the seat, bath and lavatory into a cess.
pool of ample size located at a suf-
fcient distance from the we'll so that
there cannot be any possibility of
contamination of the water supply
therefrom. Where such a system is
installed pipes from the kitchen sink
should be connected with It, Where
means are limited or the house is cold
and winter weather conditions are
such that the pipes are likely to freeze.
some other arrangement viii have TO
be made. While bathtub would still
be possible. such disposal would have
to be made Of the drainage from II as
not to result In dampness about the
house. A satisfactory as well as sani-
tary arrangement for the closet is the
substitution Of a drawer of ample size
in place of a cesspool and so arranged
that 1t may be pulled out by a single
horse. drawn to some distant spot and
emptied as often as may be neces-
sary. The place may be still further
sweetened and the danger from flies
eliminated IL air slaked lime is sprin-
kled In the drawer during the period
Of accumulation. and incidentally the
lime will probably be good for the
land. Another respect in which the
health of the farm home may be safe
guarded-and here good farming jibes
in with correct sanitation-is cleaning
out the pens. yards and feed lots as
frequently as possible and scattering
the fertilizers at once on those portions
of the farm which are most I'm need of
them. There are thousands OF farm
homes where n few or one OF the
suggestions above made might be car
ried out and the premises be made
more sanitary. more comfortable and
more attractive as a consequence.
