Among samples of alfalfa seed offer

31.5 per cent of the whole. In this lot

OF course, us a matter of fact, where
bad seed is soWn the actual result is a
weak, poor stand of alfalfa and a
dense growth Of weeds. The land has
to be plowed up and reseeded, the use
of the land for 4 year is lost. and it
has become foul with weeds, many of
which will be newly introduced and
noNious in character.
These findings pointedly suggest that
it is safe to buy seed Of only q thor
ougllly reputable dealer OF grower
whose name and guarantee stand for
something. Get samples early and test
them. Learn positively that it is al
falfa seed and not something else and
that it will grow. If more than 10 per

something is wrong. Choice seed. the

SWAMPED WITH WORK.
Brokerage Houses Unable to Handle
Their Business.

Brokerage f7OuSeS OhaDie to Handie
Their Business.
New York, Nov. 13.-Brokerage
houses here which make a speciality
of dealing in small lots Of standard
industrial and railroad shares on
tinue to be swamped with work and
houses with foreign connections re-
port a wave of buying orders from
Europe, which is unprecedented.
Probably the most striking feature of
the financial situation at present is
the big scale en- which this invest
ment buying by persons with small
savings is going On.
James /. Carter, in charge of the
stock transfer department of j.. P.
Morgan d Co., is authority for the
statement that in practically every
important railroad stock listed the
new stockholders who have recently
invested their savings, chiefly in
small lots. represent from 25 to 50
per cent of the total number of stock
holders enrolled. Mr.. Carter says
that the purchases average not more
than twenty OF thirty shares to the
Individual, that they appear to be for
investment rather than speculative
purposes and that the orders come
from all parts of the country.
The transfer Office of the United
States Steel corporation is a week be-
hind on its routine work. THE
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific
railroads report an increase in the
number of stockholders at the rate,
since the first of the month, of 300 a
day. The Rock Island road has open-
ed between 500 and 500 new accounts
in the last six weeks, mostly in the
common stock. The number of stock
holders of the Chicago, Milwaukee
and ST. Paul has increased by 500 in
the last two weeks. The activity in
Pennsylvania railroad stock has been
so great Of late that figures of recent
date are unOhtainable.

Cement Blocks For Poultry Houses.
My experience with cement blocks
has proved to my mind that they are
unfit for use in poultry houses. The
poultrymen wish 10 avoid as far as
possible all dampness. and what few
cement blocks / have used Oh my build
ings have been more or less porous.
They would absorb moisture, and in
wet weather to a degree which would
allow it to so through the block, even
though the blocks had considerable
hollow space for circulation. 1t is pos
sibla that if the blocks were made with
a very large proportion of cement and
a little sand this might to a certain
degree be overcome. But l would
under 40 circumstances use them for
poultry houses or advise others to do
sos. S. in Rural New. Yorker.
