from ~ to 2 pounds, says P. w. Hearn
in the Agricultural Epitomist. There is
quite demand, especially during. March,
April and May, for this class of poultry
iii the large cities. This is caused by the
limited supply during those three months.
Most farmers do not have any chicks for
the market until after that time, and, IS
quite q number come in the latter part
-tf May, and in June, the price goes down
until the profit is small.
+ Chicks raisea! to meet this demand
should be Matched in January and Febru-
ary, SO they will have from ten to twelve
weeks to gfeW: i. -, *..s,., s.,,.,,
s% Il imagine soihe readef will say that it's
besides the hens don't want to set at all
that early. That is a fact, too, but we
must overcome this difficulty in some way
and reap those high prices. r. -
Is First, you must know just how to raise
chicks. If YOU. don't know, then learn.
How? BY experience and careful study.
No one can tell you how; at least, / found
it to be that way. $>"s'> ..1@&<..t
Learn to know what to do when your
chicks get in a certain condition just
what IS the best way to feed them, and
just how to make them feel contented
and grow for all there is in it.

it costs 10 cents to raise a chick to weigh
two pounds. Then, if sold early, it ought
to bring sou all the way from 80 to GO
cents, everything depending upon the
market you are selling in and the time at
which you sell, at least YOU will be get
ting big profit. Now this cunt be done
until yon have had experience and know
how to eeohomize.. ga,

it perfectly, After the incubator comes

will hive to spehd neatly all its; early life,
and, Of course, IL a very important factor
in getting those high prires. ~
After you LEARN to thise chicks in a
brooder then y6tf are ready to build you
a house called a brobder house. This is
similar to the brbbder, except built for
the aecomm0dat alton Of many more chicks.
By Its Use twb persons ought to hatch
and raise several thousand chicks every
year. You ought to be able to, have at
least 1000 chicks for. the broiler season,
when your profit would mean something
to you. OF course this cannot be done
until you know just how to raise chicks
in large numbers, but twill pay you to

STUDY OF THE METEORS.
YaIe's Extensive Arrangements for Securing
Data of tho Phenomena.

NEW HAVEN. Conn. Nov. 17.-At the Yale as
Economical observatory an extensive study
has been made Of the recent meteoric showers.
More American meteors have been photo
graphed than at any other American observa-
tory. and a careful record has been kept OF the
phenomena. DR.. William L. Elkin. In charge
OF the observatory, said:
I'VE anticipated this year that the number
Of meteors visible would be about four times
the number seen a year ago. The observa-
lions concluded show that our estimate was
very nearly exact. Looking up the records Of
the meteoric fall OF 1865. | find that this years
will probably Just about equal the number OF
that year. That, again. is Just what was ex-
pected and gives further proof that the maxi
mum shower expected in 1890 will occur, the
calculations being that in lS}3, 1853. and
is at Its height, and that the previous year, as
In 1879 and 1SbJ and 1893. the fall approaches
the maximum.
The meteors observed his year have 0cen

DRY GOODS MARKET

New York, Dec S0-The dry goods mar
ket was without important feature today.
Business was generally quiet, as on pre-

and fancy lines The tone continued strong
throughout and further advances in prices
are regarded as certain early in the new
year. Print cloths were strong. with some
sales of regulars at 23sc and of 3Sla inches
81 squares at SIC. Business in the wool
en- goods division was quiet and without
special feature. The demand for for
eign merchandise of staple character was
slow for spring and only moderate for
fancy lines and specialties.

COTTON.

New York, Dec. 30.-The cotton market
opened with prices unchanged to points
lower despite an unfavorable set of En-

The steadiness Of our market in face of
the weak cables resulted from a scarce
of shorts 70 cover. following a smaller
port movement than expected; signs of
a freezing cold wave in the extreme west
and evidences that Wall Street was still
favOrably impressed with the staple.
Trading, however, was on conservative
lines, the three days adjournment at hand
serving to check enthusiasm in either d.
rection.
