SPEAKING of the iron and steel
outlook. a large manufactured saws:

SPEAKING of the iron and steel
outlook, a large manufacturer says:
mo disaster threatens the iron
trade, however. The iron and steel
manufacturers have an era of long
sustained and profitable activity
before them. Foreign markets will
afford an ample outlet for surplus
productions and thus contribute to
a stability which has hitherto been
lacking in prices. The world $
needs in iron and steel have eX-
banded marvelously in the past two
years and seem still to be expand
ing. With exports in the last fiscal
year representing the equivalent of
more than $50, 600 tons of pig iron
we have made only a beginning n
foreign trade, and the output above
IA, 900. 600 tons IN 1900 NAV be re-
garded without fear OF material
recession in prices.

THE ICE TRUST.

Gardiner, February 6 1t now is an as
sured fact In the opinion of Maine icemen
that the American Ice company which
has asked for Incorporation here with a
capital OF 500 600 600. is the outcome of "a
movement started by the Consolidated Ice
company of New York. The bin to in
corporate the company was necessary as
no company with a capital Of more than
$40, coo. O0Ocan be formed in this state with
out special legislation. 1t is well known
that the incorporators OF this bill arc not
the prime movers, With the Consolidated
Ice company is associated the knicker-
booker Ice company Of Philadelphia, the
Consolidated Ice company OF New York,
both of which concerns today control of
the ice business of the Kennebec and
Penobscot rivers of Maine, and the Hud-
son river of New York as well as the
larger ice interests Of Pennsylvania
These two great companies are the prime
factor in the plan. which also proposes
the absorption of other companies, as con.
ditions make such steps advisable. There
seems to be hut little doubt that the
Legislature win pass the bill.

REARING PHeAsANTs.
Success of the Artificial Propagation of
Game Birds at Blooming Grove Park.

Recent reports show that much success
has attended the artificial propagation of
game birds in this country, including
ring neck English pheasants and the
crosses. Superintendent william j. Coon
of the blooming Grove Park Association
in Pike county. Pennsylvania. says that
as far as this preserve Is concerned the
system Is practical success. In the
spring of 1898 thousand pheasant eggs
were secured and set under common
barnyard hens. From these nearly @ o
young birds were Matched. They were
brought up to an ago when they were
able to take care of themselves, and then
turned loose on the preserve. When the
shooting season opened the birds were
found in all the covers, and moro than
300 were bagged by members of the as
ISOLATION. 1t Is estimated that there
are more than 200 adult birds at large on
the preserve or In its immediate neighbor-
hood that will breed In the spring, but TO
assure another seasons sport eighty Of
the birds raised last year have been held
over in captivity.
pheasants are divided into families and
confined in separate yards. There are
sixteen of these yards ut Blooming Grove,
each occupied by one cock and four hens
Otto keuling, the head gamekeeper, ex-
poets to secure from :. 600 TO =, 800 eggs In
the spring. which will be set under the
smallest barnyard fowls that can be had.
Heavy hens will not do, as the pheasant
10 auafly hrpgan
The pheHsants themselves cannot be
induced 10 set up hou excepting in cap
tiyity. The hens, are, however, much
more prolific of eggs than when at liberty,
for while tho wild hen begins setting
nfter she had laid twelve or fourteen eggs.
the pheasant In captivity produces nfty or
more eggs in o single season.
Pheasant eggs require IA certain amount
OF moisture to insure proper incubation,
and at Blooming Grove this is supplied
by spriukling the nest with watering
pot from time to time The nest Is made
In sand to duplicate knatural conditions
as nearly as possible and the greatest care
Is taken to guard against bird lice-a pest
which at ..Jekyl Island made pheasant
raihug IA failure. The hen and nest are
constantly busted with Persian insect
powder, and when the young birds appear
they ARE similarly treated.
After the young pheasants are Matched

two by three feet square and about eight
inches high, inclosed with wire netting.
Each day these yards are moved to new
grounds, so that everything will be sweet
and fresh for the young birds, and the
dar ger OF disease and insect pests re-
moved as far as possible. just as soon
as the little pheasants learn TO know their
mother they are removed to larger quar-
ters and permitted to fly out and return
ut pleasure Under such conditions they
soon become hardy and when set free are
we'll able to take care of themselves, de-
spite the fact that they have never had
the advantages OF "a training by pleas
