Help the WOmen First.

The more we see of practical
life in the home, the more thor
oughly are we convinced that
conveniences in the house should
take preference over those at the
barn or in the machinery depart
ment. The barn. the machinery,
and all that is raised on the farm
are supposed to lend themselves
solely to the refinement and bet
terment of the home. All our
labor is for the maintenance of a
home in which to spend our days
on earth. 1t is for the sake of a
home that every man strives for
a place in the business world and
a share of the good things of
life. Why, then, do we so often
see the natural order reversed
and the house left to get along
in some way with the old fash
ioned tools of labor that have
sent so many country women to
our asylums, while the farm
work is being done in easy ways?
We insist that running water,
power washing, and a woodpile
under cover at the door are posi-
tive necessities if the women are
to manage their part of home
making on an economical scale.

Sioux City, Feb. 11.-Cattle re
eeipts were generous for a Thursday,
estimate calling for 1000 head, as
against 1892 a week ago and 1,204
the corresponding day a year ago.
Butcher cattle formed the big end
of the days supply and prices were
on a somewhat weaker footing, in
line with the bearish reports from
outside points. Decline figured about
a dime on steers and weak to a dime
lower on COWS and heifers.
Unchanged rates ruled for stock
cattle. Quota at hand was moderate,
and. while the lateness of the week
tended to curtail the demand from
dealers, for the most part prices held
their position al compared with the
previous day.
Hog market was uneven, opening
to shippers on a part with best time
Wednesday, but closing weaker. Tops
for the day landed at SIS. with the
bulk of sales for the day at a spread
of $7.6507.9O.
Lambs felt the depressing influ-
ence of outside developments and in
practically all cases weakness was
noticeable, as compared with yester-
days high market. Matured stock
ruled unchanged.
