Live Stock Market.

Special to the New Era.
Kansas City Stock Yards, Jan. 10, TO-
Cattle receipts last week were
about 5000 head. and the market
made a net gain OF 10 to 20 cents.
after numerous fluctuations. The
run today Is 1900 head here, and
fairly liberal elsewhere, the liberal
supply drawn out by the good market
last week partly, aud also helped by
the desire OF feeders in native terri.
tory to get rid OF their holdings. The
heavy receipts Of short fed cattle
lately lead to the belief in stronger
prices later In the season, and the
man who sticks may win out again
this season, as has been the case for
two or three years past. The market
Is weak to 10 lower today, a moderate
decline In the face OF such Il large
supply. Trade in range cattle during
the past week has been without fca-
ture. except that a few good Colorado
beef steers have been here at S.25 To-
s5.75, and Colorado cows at A.25 to
$500. Bulk OF the fed steers here to-
day sell at $5.25 to $3.50, top steers
today 81. 40, bulk OF cows at $500 to

So. 90, bulls at $3.25 to 81. 10. choice
veals $500 to $500, heavy calves
around $3.50. The belief in better fat
cattle prices later In the season is
stimulating trade in feeders, and the
fact that half the winter is gone Is an
incentive to the purchase OF stock
cattle, which makes trade in country
grades very good. and prices at the
high point Of the winter. and consider
extra high for this season OF the year.
Stock steers sell at So. 10 to 800, feed

up to $3.50 during the past week.
Thirty-eight thousand sheep and
lambs arrived last week, but the mar

day, market steady to 10 lower,
although the Ronssce lambs, westerns
fed in Kansas. sold at $500 today,
same as on different days last week,
and ewes reached $3.50 today, highest
point OF the winter. Fair to good
lambs sell at SS.l5 to $3.50, some in

LYE STEWED PEACHES

Caustic soda strong enough to eat
away the skin OF an unripe peach
must be anything but soothing to the
inner man or child. The full signifi-
canoe OF this is best understood in
connection with the fact that caustic
soda Is used in making many kinds OF
soap; In fact, it is the dirt eating part
Of soap.
1t Is said that the great majority
OF the canneries use the lye process IN
place of the knife.peeling method.
Attempts have been made for somc-
time to get the Department Of Agri-
culture to make ruling on this
question which would compel the
Gamers who use this method to say
SO on the labels OF their goods. 1t
looks now as II the question will be
passed up to Congress for a specific
law covering this phase OF the pure
food agitation.
The use OF caustic soda Is impossible
with ripe fruit because it discolors a
ripe peach so that it will not pass
muster with the users OF higl-grade
canned fruits. In consequence this
process is possible only with unripe
fruit, and green fruit is purposcly
gathered for canning.
Owing to the abscuce OF any marks
on the cans to indicate the use OF
cdustic soda, the only way the Gus.
toner can tell II he has purchased a
lye-process can OF fruit Is by taste.
Open can OF peaches, wash away the
syrup from a piece OF the fruit. Then
taste It. II 1t is void OF flavor, woody
and pulpy, and has soapy appearance
it is undoubtedly the lyc-peeled
variety.
The pure food agitation which has
been principally over the question of
benz0nate OF soda has now takena new
turn and renewed interest will doubt
less be aroused over this question.
1t Is said that In most OF the can
nerics 6f the country peaches are
ate wed In red.hot caustic soda to eat
away the skins and thereby save the
cost OF knife. .peeling, the difference
In cost amounting to a cent and a
half or two cents per can.
In the process OF this lye stewing
almost all the flavor OF the peach dis.
appears and doubtless little caustic
soda Is left on each piece Of fruit as a
memento Of It's trip through the
cannery.

A good joke on an editor who went
one evening to report a party At a
home recently blessed with q new
baby. He met his hostess at the door
and after the usual salutations he
asked after the baby's health. The
lady, who was quite deaf, and suffer.
Ing with the grippe, thought he was
asking after her cold and answered
that although she usually had one
every winter, this was the worst one
she ever had; It kept her awake at
night good deal and at first confined
her TO her bed. Then, noticing that
the newspaper man was getting ner.
vous. she said that she could tell BY
his looks that lie was going to have
one just like hers. and asked him 10

Lee Francis Lybarger, who appears
At the Ordway Opera House tomorrow
night, is not an entertainer, but An
orator. He speaks only to enlightep,
to persuade, to reform. Yet such tis
his power In the presentation Of great
truths, that, with no thought OF en-
terCainment, he holds the rapt atten-
tion Of vast NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. in
the lyceum hall Or on chautauqua
platform-with masterful ease and
skill. And this for the reason that he
is In earnest. has the faith and en-
thusiasm born OF conviction, knows
what to say, and how to say 1t.
The orators sole and lofty purpose
Is to change the habits, conduct and
conditions OF men. But to do this, he
must flrst-as lecturer-change
thoughts, beliefs and opinions. And
then-as OratOr-he must link the
feelings, emotions and heart-throbs of
his hearers to the new beliefs and
convictions he has created, in order
that they may 80 forth aud emb0dy
these new convictions in life and
action. The lecturer appeals to the

GOOD wORx IN 4 w0kAHS CLUB

At the HOasekeepers' short course,
held by the Colorado Agricultural
College In Delta last winter, Miss
Mary +. Rausch, head Of the College
Home Economics Department.. was
requested to suggest some new plans
for 4 Woman's Club. She did. and a
club was organized to plan and serve
luncheons for six for one dollar.
The club has been meeting once
each two weeks.
At the opening OF each meeting a
luncheon Is served, the cost being
limited to one dollar for each six
people. Much study and planning Is
given to have something that can be
used to vary the daily menu at the
homes OF the club members, and the
members have been surprised at what
they have been able to serve for one
dollar.
At the suggestion Of Miss Rausch
the club Is studying two bm'ks-
"Household Management" and Chem
istry OF the Household"
After luncheon two OF the members
read from these books while the
others sew. After a chapter has been
read, it is discussed and an experience
meeting held.
In October the club served an al
tcrnoon tea to scventy.Avc guests for
two dollars and sixty cents, serving
chocolate, tea. pcanlt sandwiches,
Scotch cakes and saltcd peanuts. The
rooms and tables we're decorated with
autumn leaves from the mountains.
A study is being made OF the various
bulletins on household subjects issued
by the U. S. Department OF Agricul.
ture. and Miss Rausch has been asked
to furnish Il copy nf all recipes that
she will use in her liOusckcepers'
short course this winter, the club
planning to reprint them in a booklet
as IA souvenir.

THE cANTALOUPE DEAL
Ono Of tho Greatest Prob/sms in
AGRICULTURAL Economics.

The cantaloup growers OF the Ar
kansas valley are still struggling
along with one OF the greatest prob.
lens In our agricultural economies
and this is to stay in the game and
make money out OF 1t. Last season
opened early enough for the planting
to begin on time but in many in
stances some Of the fields had to he
re.sceded three or four times because
Of late frosts, heavy rains and damag-
ing winds. The nnal seeding, how
ever, brought things through in fine
hastened the ripening SO that the
first shipments were made between
the 3rd and Sth OF August while car
load lots began moving August 18th.
The Rocky Ford district had In its
usual quota OF 1000 acres. The
Missouri Pacific district, including
Ordway, Olncy and Sugar City. plant
ed l 200 acres with not more than 200
out. This is the country where spec
ialty is made OF the pink-ileshed va
riety which Is growing In favor. The
ManZanOla field comprised 300 acres,
two. thirds OF which came through al.
though several paintings had to be
made SO as to make 4 final catch. La
Junta planted 300 acres with only 200
maturing. Granada and Holly dis
tricts contributed GOO carloads. Half
dozen varieties have now become
recognized as trade brands.
A new district was opened up at
Iona in Mesa county where the vines
were grown as filters in young or
chards. Grand Junction. Palisade
and Fruita had an increased acreage.
Around Denver an Outlandish num-
Der Of Old-fashiOned muskmelOns was
grown but they were hardly worth
taking into account. In all the melon
sections early prices were high and
late prices we're low as is usually the
case and the average Is close around
sixty-tivc cents for standard crates.
One association realized eighty.seven
cents for the season which Is about
two cents for each melon. The yield
ranged from $50 to 800 crates and the
quality, grade and pack we're the
best in years. Some Of the associa-
tious put up their goods in cartons
OF dozen melons each, wrapped them
in pink paper and this innovation
brought good money. We paid sew
enty-tiye cents for one Uf these pack
ages In Denver.
AS the years go by the growers lind
themselves beaten at SO many turns
in the road that they have become
greatly dissatisfied with the market
end OF the business. The whole
trouble is with tho eastern scalpers
who give them worse deal every
year and 1t is mystery how they get
away with the goods and come back
smiling the next season u turn new
trick. The brigands OF Sicily we're
never boldcr in their operations.
Many Uf these eastern commission
houses have established local Offices
at our principal shipping stations
and are In the game to pluck the
goose. II all the growers 10 the Ar
kansas valley could be brought into
one strong selling association they
would have the pirates on the hip but
there are too many dissenting clc-
mentS to bring about such cOmbina-
tion and IT will probably never be
