URGED TO CALL
EXTRA SESSION
The Matter Put Up to the
President
MORE LAWS NEEDED
The argument Presented that the FL
nancial Situation Admits OF No
Delay, but That Elements of
Uncertainty Should Be
Eliminated
(By the Associated Press }

Washington, D. c., Nov. 2.-It was
learned here today from undoubted
sources that President Roosevelt IS
sion of Congress to deal with the fin
ancial situation. The request comes
from, and represents the judgment of
the conservative leaders in the tinan-
cial world, who have represented the
present situation as one compelling &C
ton of q character which Will afffr
atiVely eradicate all ground for SuS-
picion of American industrial methods.
The president has been assured from
most reliable sources that there will
be no opposition on the part of the
great industries of the country to the
enactment OF the necessary laws 10
carry out his ideas of Federal control
to the extent tC which he has ex-
pounded them in his recent public ut
terances. These assurances are made
at this time to avert what has been
represented as the most dangerous sit
uation which has confronted the
country during an extended historic
period-that is, seeming growing lack
larities in business methods in
some quarters, and no sure and speedy
means Of separating the good from
the UnSound.
To this end. it is suggested that the
President set Congress to the task,
the financial laws as will result in the
maximum of fleXibility with the mini
mum OF basic change in our system
Next, and perhaps first in Importance,
that the President embody his sugges-
tioas on corporation control into sue
cinct recommendations for enactment
into law.
The Presidents Words Quoted.
In this connection the Presidents
attention has been directed to what he
said at Provincetown, Mass, August
Goth last:
Il believe in q national incorpora-
ton law for corporations engaged in
Interstate business. l believe, further
more. that the need for action is most
pressing as regards those corporations
which, because they are common car
rie-s. exercise a quasi-publfc function,
end which can be completely control-
ed. in all respects by the Federal gov
ernment by the exercise of the power
conferred under the interstate COM
n,erce clause, and if necessary, under
the post roads clause of the constitu-
lion. The national government should
exercise over them a similar suDervi-
sion and control to that which it eX-
ercises over national banks. We can
6r, this only by proceeding farther
along the lines marked out by recent
national legislation.

to escape thereby all responsibility
either to state or to nation"
Amendments Suggested.
To meet this view the President
then suggested amendments to the
Sherman Antitrust Law and the ad-
6ition of q criminal clause to that end
to the interstate commerce regula-
tions. The benefit of having federal
legal machinery to detect and Grad
icate unWholesome business methods
at this time was said to be the de-
sirable end to be accomplished. This
would mean, it is pointed out, q prac-
tical wiping off OF the slate and start
ing afresh under business conditions
which would have and which could
bear the closest public scrutiny.
Extra Session Considered.
That the president has given the re-
quest for an extra session careful con-
sideration is indicated by those who
have been asked to lend their advice
in the matter. That the information
as to existing conditions is not alarm
ing has been the continuing assurance
which has come from the govern
ment's careful observance With this
in view the president has been told
that the call for ar extra session of
Congress might have the reverse ef-
feet from that desired by those who
are urging such action; that it would
tend to emphasize in the pu3lic mind
an apprehension of unfavorable condi-
tionS which do not exist.
Failing in obtaining an extra ses
sion. those who have made the appeal
for ii, have presented the alternative
of an additional request that the pres
ident make a public statement OF the
assurance he feels in the sound con-
dition of public credit. This, too has
met with measure Of opposition from
the adminiStration's advisers Both
suggestions are still matters OF consid-

ercise they require a feed that can
be quickly and easily digested. The
following mixture is fed at the New
York establishment referred to under
the description of examining machine:
100 pounds finely ground barley, 100
pounds finely ground corn, 100 pounds
finely ground oats with hulls sifted
out), to which mixture is added 10
per cent of beef scraps. Buttermilk
or skim milk is used for mixing, the
former being preferred. A little salt
is sometimes added. The birds are
fed twice day at intervals Of twelve
hours; and are crammed for about
three weeks. 1t is important that the
intervals between the feelings should
be as nearly equal as possible.
Another ration may be made as fol-

FATTENlNG POULTRY-FOUR
METHODS ARE EMPLOYED
BY g. Arthur Bell, Asst Bureau
Antnot

Four methods Of fattening poultry
are practiced in this country, viz:
Pen fattening, crate fattening.. ma
chine cramming and hand examining.
The first two are probably the most
common today, while the third is gain
ing rapidly as its results are becom-
ing better known, and the fourth is
used only where but few birds are
fattened.
Pen fattening is practiced by great
many people who do not have the
time and inclination to use other meth.
DDS. The essentials of pen fatteniig
are quiet, darkness, except at feeding
time. and plenty of soft green feed
given at regular intervals, usually
three times day. Birds may be kent
in focks of Is or 20, but the sexes
should be separated.
In crate fattening few fowls are
confined in crates and fed from a
trough. A crate six feet long, and 1S
or 20 inches wide is suitable and is
large enough for dozen birds. Some.
times such crate is divided into two
or three compartments, 4 to 6 birds
being placed in each commandment.
But little room for the birds To move
about is desirable, for the less exer-
else the bird obtains the more readily
does it fatten. The top, back, and ends
of the crates should he solid if they
are to be placed outdoors. but If they
are to be in a building they may be
built of lath or Stats. These Stats
should be two inches apart in front,
so as to permit the birds to eat from
the troughs, which are hung lust out
side of the coop. The Stats of the
bottom of the coop should be about
one inch apart to permit the droppings
to fall through. In indoor feeding the
crates should be placed in IA dark
room, and just before feeding enough
light should be admitted to allow the
birds to see to eat. They are usually
fed three times day, and are permit
ted to eat for half an hour at a time,
when the room is again darkened and
the uneaten food removed.
For the best results a machine is
essential. especially for the last ten
days, for otherwise the birds will not
eat nearly so much as they can digest
and assimilate.

machine in operation at one of the
large poultry establishments in New

York state. A reservoir under which
is placed small force pump operated
by means of lever worked by the
foot is placed on tripod. A tube is
fixed to one end of the pump. through
which the feed passes when the lever
rod is lowered. This tube is of rub
Der or metal If rubber, it may have
metal point. Metal tubes are more
easily kept clean. The feed is placed
in the reservoir, and is made into the
consistency of thick cream. There
are several ways OF holding the bird,
but the following will be found simple
grip the bird firmly either between the
right elbow and side of the body, as
shown in the illustration or between
the left elbow and the body. which
ever is the more convenient. The
head is grasped in the left hand, the
first finger being placed in the mouth
to keep it open. The tube is placed in
the mouth and the bird is drawn on
until the end of the tube reaches the
crop, the neck being elongated as
much as possible. The lever bar is
gently lowered by the foot and the
food is thus forced into the crop. One
hand Is kept on the crop and as soon
as 1t is sufficiently full the foot Is
removed from the lever and the bird
is gently removed The operator soon
learns to know when the crop is full.
No stated amount that should he fed
to an individual can. be given, for the
quantity varies with the size of the
crop. Great care should be taken in
preparing the feed to see that there
are no Jumps. for the tube Is small
and easily becomes blocked.
Hand examining is a. good system
where but few fowls are being fatten
ed, hut would be found rather labori
GUS where many are fattened. The
feed is made into bOluses, or balls
which should be about two inches
long and One-half inch in diameter
A large number OF these are prepared
before commencing to feed. The op
orator sits on stool or box, firmly
| grips the fowl between his knees
and elongates the neck, holding the
head in similar manner to tina,
described in using the examining ma
chine. He then dips a bolus in skim
milk or water and forces it into the
birds mouth, pressing it down the
throat with his fingers. The neck
above the bolus is then gripped with
the thumb and first finger, which are
RIM downward along the neck. forcing
the bolus into the crop. 1t will prob
ably take from IA TO 1S of these DO
luses to fill the crop. depending on its
capacity. Some feeders practice this
method in connection with crate fat
tening. The attendant, after feeding
in the crates. feels the crop of eacf
bird. and any not having sufficiently
filled crop are crammed in She uarne
