The MONETARY SITUATION.

The supply Of money was greater than the de-
mand. At the Stock Exchange call loans ruled
at 2 1-2 per cent. Renewals were made at 2 =
and per cent. but these exceptional rates,
and for new business the range was from , to
2 l-2 per cent. On time loans some exceptional
transactions were made at IL and ) per cent
for sixty DAYS. bat the collateral consisted wholly
of securities of very high grade. For longer
periods and less satisfactory collateral per cent
was demanded and paid. Many money lenders
seemed reluctant 70 make time encagemnnts pre-

A Washington dispatch today states
that Mr.. Blaine passed another uneyent-
full night. His physician evaded reply
ing to question as to whether he con-
aidered Blaine in dying condition, by
saying that he was growing weaker.
The doctor admitted that he had been
living on stimulants, and that several
times his life had been recalled by the
administration of nitro-glycerine. the
results of which we're surprise to even
the physicians. 1t is quite evident that
DIR. Johnson is very much nlystified at
Biaine's wonderful vitality.

Can he Make a Dollar Clear?

Mr.. T. Stuart Barbour, Middletown,N.
Y.,writes us in regard to the profit to ex-
pect. He is satisfied to get one dollar
clear, and states how he proposes to ar
range his buildings and yards. He says:
81 have piece OF land 100x10O feet,
and propose to divide this into fveyards
each 20x1O0 feet, with a house in each
yard 1Ox15 feet, and keep $50 fowls. |
will take the best care of them. Now
Mr.. Jacobs, do you believe that can
keep these fowls this way and make one
dollar clear on each, the breeds to be
Brahmas, Plymouth Rocks, Leghcrns
and Wyandot tes?
The land is about OnefOurth OF an acre
and hence the birds must be confined al
most exclusively. No doubt they will
receive good care, but they are liable to
be made too fat. roup may get in the
flock in winter and lice annoy them in
summer. 1t is not difficult to clear one
dollar per hen, Oeaving out the cost OF
labor) but all depends on the men. Good
care means something more than food
and water. 1t is to guard against dis
ease and to keep them in exercise and
laying ndition.-Poultry Keeper.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1893-01-04
EGGS, or Lice?

Make up your mind which you prefer
to grow eggs, or lice, and then go to
work to develop your fancy. fits eggs
clear out the pens and look sharply after
the vermin. Wash off the roots with kerr
osene. Sweep out the corners, and for
once clean house in thorough manner.
Then carry in fresh straw and a new dust
bath. Make trip through the pens,
once in three or four days, after the hens
have gone to roost, and sprinkle little
insect powder through the feathers OF
each one. In this way the lice can be
driven off. fits lice you want, then keep
right on letting the hens roost in their
filth, don't clean up and full crop may
be guaranteed. One thing is sure, lice
and eggs are not produced in the same
pens.-Maine Farmer.

Mr.. R. G. Burlington, Fall River, Mass.
keeps as many as a thousand hens at one
time, and his experience with oats is
given in a letter to us. He says:
Seeing an article in your valuable pa
per, on feeding oats to poultry, must
take sides with the editor, and think he
is right. | have been breeder of poul-
try for a long time, a nd havehad great
deal OF experience in feeding. Ny stock
consists of twelve different breeds, and
numbers each year from six to ten hun
dred, all yarded. I have fed every kind
of grain, also vegetables, both raw
and cooked, swill from the hotels, bread
cake from the baker, brewery, etc., and [
have found nothing equal to oats. Ihave
always fed soft feed in the morning, and
still keep up the practice. This feed con-
sists OF equal parts ofgrOundc corn ground
oats and wheat bran and about one-fifth
ground beef scraps. At night one part
corn and two parts oats for the small
breeds, and nothing but oats for the
small breeds, and nothing but oats for
Cochins and Brahmas. On this feed my
three year-old Cochins are laying as we'll
as when they we're pullets.
We have heard of but few cases of harm
full effects from feeding oats, and even
then it was not shown that something
else might not have been the cause Of the
injurious effects. We feed oats daily,
and, so far, we have noticed r. results of
detrimental character Poultry Keeper

A writer in Poultry says OF the fertlli
zation OF eggs: 81 have read very care
fully the controversy going on about the
number of hens that should be allowed
to run with cock, so as the eggs should
be fertile. must say myself l incline to
Mr.. Cooks way OF thinking. At any
rate, so far as my own experience goes,
in the year 1888 | had a Mnorca cock
running with fourteen hens. The hatch
ing results were that nearly every egg
brought me a strong sturdy chicken.
Last year, thinking to experiment, l ran
cock with only four hens; it was most
disappointing, for I hardly got chicken
from them. This time | have given him
ten hens, and the result is fine sturdy
chickens.
