WHEN EGGS GO UP.
Proper Feeding Will Make Hens Layers
in Cold Weather

| When eggs climb up to top-notch
prices and people in the cities are pay
ing 80 cents a dozen, there's money in
eggs A few people reap this fall and
winter harvest from their poultry yards,
but many still cling to the belief that If
hens won't lay they won't lay, and can't
be made to lay. and that is all there is
to it. Others, who have discovered that
proper feeding will enable them to do
wonders with fowls gather eggs abun-
dainty all through the winter. There
are thousands who will endorse what is
written, as follows, by William H. Yeo-
mans of Columbia, Conn: Last fall

/ Ellen M, wife Of Professor John M
Van Week, vice president of Wesleyan
university, died rather suddenly at her
home in Middletown on Wednesday
evening, although she had been in poor
health for some time and her death
was in a measure not unexpected. It's
suddenness came from the fact that

late Linus Burr and was married to
Professor Van Week on May 2, 1854
OF this union there were four children
Professor Edward Van Week of Yves

T. Hill of New Haven, and three
brothers. Linus e. Burr of Cameron,
Miss, Rev e. w, Burr of ISLAND

| Room Operators.
| New York, Dec. 2S.-The changes in
J stock prices to-day were largely due tc
! operations by board room traders. The
erratic fluctuations in the market re-
Elected the uncertainty of this class of
spectators. They sold at the opening
on the lower prices from London. The
substantial character of the buying de-
mand which they met and the conse-
quent refusal of prices to go down
caused them to turn to the long side.
The highly mercurial specialties were
the favorites in the dealings and some
of them were bid up in a rather sensa-
tional manner. Metropolitan Street
Railway, Sugar and Brooklyn Transit
were the most conspicuous features all
day. The rise In these was so consider
able as to invite the realizing Of profits
toward the close. This caused the mar
ket to run off at the cost of large
part of the earlier gains established.
The November statement of st. Paul's
earnings showing a decrease In the net
earnings Of over $4,000 had a marked
effect on the railroad list, which de-
clined sharply. The fall from the level
st. Paul reached ] SIS and averaged
large fraction in number Of other
railroad stocks. The consequence was
q mixture of net gains and losses, al
though the market hardened in the
final dealings on a demand from the
shorts to cover While the movement
of prices was largely due to professional
manipulation, there was a good volume
of business representing a continuance
of substantial demand from outside
sources through commission houses. The
demand for small lots of stocks con-
tinued, especially ON any recessions in
prices. There was no evidence of un-
easiness over the money situation and
no pressure to sell stocks. Although
prices were lower in London there was
no evidence of any fear Of disaster at
that point with the progress Of the set

Berlin, Dec. PA German official
agency issued statement last evening
| to the effect that the assertions of the
Lokal Anzeiger We're arbitrary and er-
| roneous guessWork." Official circles in
Berlin describe the statements made as
'quite inaccurate"
Paris, Dec. 28.-The publication by
the Lokal Anzeiger of Berlin Of the al
legged terms of a secret treaty between
Germany, Portugal and Great Britain
providing for the partition of the Por-
tuguese colonies, meets with no Gre
dence in official circles here A foreign
office official said to-day that their adj
vices from Portugal and Germany left
no doubt that the publication was large
ly invention. They could not believe
Portugal would sign a treaty stripping
herself of her colonies and so far-reach
ing and harmful to Portugal"
| Notwithstanding the above denial, it
is believed in other quarters that an
agreement between Great Britain and
Germany may exist, outside of the I'M
Outstanding arrived at between them
this year as an outcome of the negotia-
tons to build a telegraph line connect
ing Cape Town with Cairo.
Washington, Dec. 2S.-Officiais here
do not believe the reported intention of
Great Britain to partition Portuguese
East Africa between them. They point
out that movement of this kind, dis
turbing the balance of power in Africa,
almost certainly would lead to serious
complications between the principals
and the other powers of Europe. More
over, the old rumor of secret treaty
between England and Portugal, where
by the former might for a proper con-
sideration possess itself of Delagoa Bay
whenever the place is needed for mill
tary purposes has always been credited
to some extent here, and if such treaty
really exists there would be no need for
Germany's participation as reported.
