PROF q r

The matter of feed is of
tremendous Importance to the
farmer. Wrong feeding is
loss. Right feeding is profit.
The up-to-date farmer knows
what to feed his COWS to get
the most milk, his pigs to get
the most pork, his hens to
get the most eggs. Science.
But how about the children ?
Are they fed according to
science, a bone food if bones
are soft and undeveloped, a
flesh and muscle food if they
are thin and weak and a blood
food if there is anemia?
SCOTS Emulsion is a mixed
food; the Cod Liver Oil in it
makes flesh, blood and muscle,
the Lime and Soda make bone
and brain. 1t is the standard
scientific food for delicate
children.

STOCKS AND BONDS

New York, March 1.-The stock mar
ket was very listless and idle today and
reflected declining interest, even on the
part of professional traders. Many of
these have taken advantage of the dull
business on the exchange to go away for
spring vacation trips, and the absence
from the street of many of the bank
ers and railroad proprietors who are us
ually concerned in large doings. shows
the general acquiesence in the present
state of things. The small traders,
whose dealings make up the market.
devoted their attention to the less i'm
portant stocks, which have occupied
them for some time past. With the ex-
ception of rise of 2A in American Cot
ton Oil, said to be due to favorable trade
conditions, there was no movement of
sufficient Importance to chronicle. The
bank statement showed smaller decline
in cash reserves than expected, but this
was attributed TO the working of the
average system of computations by
which the gold shipments of Thursday s
figure for only three days in the state
ment. Thu loan item was also a relief
in the modest proportions of its expan-
