Report of Kansas City Market.

Kansas City Stock Yards, April 27
1914-Lack of demand the first half
of last week resulted in a break of
10 to 80 cents on stockers and feed
trs. In turn, the reduced prices
stimulated demand, and shipments
the last half of the week were heavy,
total outgo for the week 10000
head. Shipments of thin cattle same
week last year were only 5000 head.
Grazing conditions are first class in
nearly every section, and the main
demand was for thin steers weighing
500 to 1000 pounds Wheat field
steers carrying some flesh were neg
lected, as it is a little too early for
the Illinois buyers to take out steers
for a short course in the feed lot,
followed by their appearance at Chi
cago. That is custom practiced
in the summer on grass fat steers,
but it should work equally we'll on
cattle partly fattened on wheat pas
ture. The unusual condition Of be-
ing able to let cattle run on wheat
fields right up to grass this year has
filled the cup of the Kansas stock
man to overfiowing, and Kansas is
beginning another crop season with
h.el h2rSs. Cattle receipts today
are 5000 head, and the market is
strong to 10 higher, stockers AID
feeders showing more gain in some
cases. Bulk. of the, stock steers
range from CTS to $7.S5, which pri-
ces are 10 to 25 cents lower than a.
year ago. A few choice yearlings
bring 1925. A Kansas stockman
bought up 400 steers from the pan
handle last week, four years old, that
cost $6S a head in Texas. Another
Kansas pasture man bought 5 cars
of Oklahoma wheat field steers,
weighing 100 lbs. on the market
here last week at $7.65. Springer
COWS and heifers are in demand. A
Missouri man took out 81 head OF
extra good cows of the mixed native
class That weighed 1850 lbs. at
$50 to $685.. Killers here are
running short of cattle, and eXhl-
bit more anxiety about prospective
supplies than any time before this
month.

WHITEMAsH WORTH WHILE.
Mixed With Buttermilk, it VIII
Not Rub OF, Says Writer i'm
Farm and Fireside.

Look out for your coat, Don t
lean against the fresh whitewash, >
cautioned my guest who was being
conducted through a famous neigh
boring poultry plant The various
chicken houses and out buildings
were so beautifully white and fresh
looking as to give the appearance Of
freshly applied lime that would rub
off and whiten everything coming in
contact with it. The owner of the
plant looked up with smile of SUI
perior wisdom, however, at my
words of caution, and replied: Lean
against the white walls all you want
to; my whitewash won't rub off on
your coat or on anything else"
Not only the numerous chicken
houses, but the spring house, the
cellars, the storage sheds and even
the wood house were all beautifully
clean and sanitary from generous
coatings of whitwash; and not in a
single instance did the white coat
ing possess the Objectionable feature
of rubbing Off"
On being questioned CONCERNING
the secret of success in the home
preparation of whitewash that sticks
like paint, the owner of these model
farm buildings disclosed the fact
that buttermilk is the inexpensive
solver of very important point in
withdrawing. On the farms where
butter is made and there is a plenti-
full supply of buttermilk, whitewash
may be made practically paint-like
in its consistency at very little cost
According to the owner of the
clean, white poultry houses, the best
plan is to treat the lime with the
buttermilk application for several
days or a week before it is desired
for use. He puts his lime in a large
vessel-in this instance in big iron
scaldlng pot used at hog killing time
and pours the buttermilk over it.
After standing about a week, until
the lime is soft and paste-like, the
surplus buttermilk is carefully Dip
ped and poured from the top, with
out stirring up the lime.
Then fresh buttermilk is added,
to make the whitwash of the right
consistency, cupful of fine salt is
added to the mixture, and it is ready
for use. 1t may be mixed in smaller
vessels and kept in it's paste-like
form until ready for thinning with
fresh buttermilk in the whitewash
busket.

What Right Has a Child?

Take this instance: Husband and
wife are separated. There were rea-
sons enough probably on both sides.
At any rate they separated after
period of starvation and charity. The
children are part of the time under
care of the mother, part of the time
with the old grandmother, some of
the time looked after by the father
after a fashion. All are very poor.
Not to go too deep into the circum-
stances the children are little out
casts dependent upon the caprices of
man who seems to be failure,
woman quite as much failure, and
the charity of friends.
Now what right have these bright
and pretty children? asks the Mar
shalltown Times-Republican AS
things are going they haven't a
chance in the world. They are being
spoiled in the very beginning. How
can any child grow into knowledge
/ and accountability under such cir
Icumstances and conditions and arrive
at good citizenship and decency and
thrift? What rights have children?
If they were competent to look for
ward and able to ask what demands
would they make? Wouldn't they
ask for a fair chance? And haven't
they a right to decent opportunity,
to training and cleanliness and hope?
Isn't there a duty owed by organized
society to them? And what are we
doing for them more than for the
rabbits that are born under the he'd
ges?
The sacredness of the family, the
right of the parent are to be deeply
considered and guarded. The right
of parents in their children and the
integrity of family are very sacred.
But the right of child to chance
| is higher. When parents have dem
onstrated their utter untitness to
care for and keep children the child
has right that can not be denied
and society the inherent right to pro-
tect itself by taking charge of the
destinies of these children.
The state of Iowa, while it is build
ing institutions for epileptics and
| drunkards and the insane and GRIM
inal needs to make a real place
wrere neglected and orphan children
! may have their chance. We need a
/ state home for these children. The
Ihu uoIi tdl OShOOlo, ICh LII w .
may dignity them with are simply re-
form schools. We need in Iowa a
place which carries no stigma with
it's name where such children as
those referred to above may be CIV
en- the opportunity which is the birth
right of every child born in Iowa.
There are charitable societies that
/ are doing the best they can to supply
this lack. The home at Ottumwa and
another at Council Bluffs are doing
a great work. They can not do more
than a fraction of what is needed
The state can not afford to build in
sane asylums, increase the capacities
of its reform schools and double its
prisons. 1t had much better dam the
tide that flows toward theSeriminal
institutions at the source by insisting
tiTat every .ko~a born babe shall have
its Chance and providing it,
Parents who neglect children. who
by one reason or another are unfit to
care for and command children lose
their rights of the child and the re
sponsibility of society begin.
