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 anemiar

food; the Cod Liver Oil in it

we're several cars OF sheep
reported thin morning, but up 70 "a late
hour not enough Of them had arrived TO
make q test Of the market but IL Is safe
70 say that good stun would have brought
steady prices. The supply Tor the week
has been very heavy. as there IL a big gain
over the same week Of last year, but az
compared with last week there Is not much
change.
The demand on the part Of local packers
has been Of very liberal proportions al
the week, 20 that good stun has met wit
ready sale. Il f. safe 90 quote the general
market active and steady 10 strong. which,
OF course, means that q good many sales
have been fully a dime higher than the
same kinds brought last week. Prime
wethers, and yearllnEs in particular, have
solo to good advantage. The common stun
on most days sold at satisfactory prices,
but still whenever receipts were more lib
eral than usual packers would pound the
habitat stuff to q greater or less extent,
but that is to be expected.
The demand for feeders has been fully
equal to the supply all the week. and prices
may be quoted strong.

still further. A report from San Francisco
showing an advance there Of lac and the
strength IN coarse grams were other lead
ing factors In the upward trend Of prices.

NEW YORK, Feb. The animated
strength Of the Wabash securities In the

IL the capital account Of the Western Ma

Saturday and was not figured for a fun

effective rally followed and the market
closed active ana firm.
The Wabash movement was apparently
based on the news Of the steps taken to-
ward Consolidation or control Of the branch
lines which are designed 70 form the At

hers OF the Gould group were strong in
sympathy and were helped by the Missouri

pared with the corresponding week OF last

bonds were also in large demand. Sugar
was run up a point IN the final dealings.
There has been some broadening tendency
in the bond market. but the price move
ment has been rather irregular. United
