The stock Market.

New York, March stocks were
again opened up and then worked lower
with some rallies. Dealings We're on
rather less extensive scale than of
late. The specialties displayed extreme
irregularity and the standard stocks
weakness most of the day The opening
rise was associated with the more ia
vorable aspect of the Philippine situa-
ton, due to Germany's withdrawal of
her cruiser, supposedly lessening the
chance of complications. The 1923, 900, 600
in dividends and interest which was
payable to-day had but little aprecia-
BILE effect upon the money market.
Atchison preferred and Burlington had
an early appearance of strength, but a
larger volume of selling orders APP
peared, which rightly or wrongly was
attributed to some Of the leading bull
interests which had been conspicuous
purchasers for two months. The same
interests appeared to be sellers of the
standard stocks. AS the market ran off
stop loss orders were reached in some
cases, while London was source of
support, taking about 10000 shares on
balance. The effect Of this purchasing
was reflected in weaker tone for ster-
ling exchange Prices after the extreme
decline rose on moderate dealings and
then wavered downward and upward in
sluggish manner there appearing lit
tie pressure of offerings or urgent de-
mand. The specalties, which were con-
spicuous in the initial advance, were
about equally prominent on the decline.
Among the high priced stocks Third
Avenue railroad, Consolidated Gas and
Tobacco made notable gains, part of
which was lost in the late trading. The
professionals were in control of the
trading most of the day and some of
the large interests were not very active
giving the bears confidence in their ag-
gressive tactics. Southern and Central
Pacific were under pressure much of the
day. The market wakened up toward
the close the activity being at the ex-
pense of values, with considerable SELL
ing of the grangers and the market left
off with fractional net losses in most
stocks with the tone weak
Trading in bonds to-day was consid-
erably mixed, weakness and strength
developing in important issues. Total
sales, $4,670,000.
United States bonds were unchanged
on bid quotations.

Ii one desires to test the banefui
effects of in breeding to their own sat
isfaction. let the practice be tried on
sheep, for it is more noticeable with
this animal than with others though no
more in;ud,cious and harmful. The
effects, as will be plainly noticed, are
the decrease in size of the lambs and
the decided thinness of the wool. One
means less carcass, the other less wool
and OF poorer quality both in fibre
ana weight Practically the Same
effects will be noted in time with other
stock The COW falls off in size, guam
tity, weight and quality of milk; the
hen in egg production, size and quality
OF carcass, and the same with the hog.
AS this practice is continued each gen.
Grafton becomes more worthless than
the last. Take ducks for example.
The best breeders both for fancy stock
and for the carcass market make a
practice of Introducing new brakes

Isaisine Calves.

The calf should be raised, If at all,
on the principle that in time she is to
be valued addition to the herd of
milch COWS. and her treatment and
training in this direction should begin
from the day she is born. Let the
calf suck for the first ten days, but
after the first week begin the lessons
III feeding from the pail. This will be
found easier Il she is taken away from
the COW once day before she is salts
fled and introduced to the pail. When
weaned the drink will depend upon
how cheaply It can be supplied, but
for a while the whole milk is best If
care is taken that each calf has the
milk from one COW at all times. When
1t IS necessary to feed skim milk q
grain ration should also be supplied
to take the place OF the bulk and rich
ness contained in whole milk. The
drink may be given cold or slightly
warm, but never boiled or very warm,
or 1t will cause trouble If skim milk
can be obtained cheaply, as it usually
can near cTeameries, say at ten to
twelve cents hundred, it will make q
cheap food all summer. During. the
first year considerable roughage and
concentrated foods should be given,
grains rich in protein, with plenty of
clover or mixed hay, and the calf not
permitted to depend on the pasture to
any great extent until year old. In
the early days of calfhood prevent the
growth OF horns by the use of caustio
potash. obviating the necessity of de-
horning later on.-Atlanta Journal.
