AN OPEN MARKET
Iron and Steel People
Aqree on Move
(Ry Associated Press.)

New York, Feb. 19.-An open
market in the iron and steel trade that
manufacturers believed will lead TO
stimulation Of the industry was ere
ated late today when former judge
Gilbert II. Gary, chairman Of the board
of directors Of the United States Steel
Corporation. made an official an
nouncement that the leading manu-
~facturers of iron and steel have de-
termined TO protect their customers
and. for the present, sell at such mod
ifed prices as may be necessary with
respect Of different commodities IN
order to retain their fair share OF the
business
The prices which may be determln-
ed upon will be given by the
turers to the customers direct.
The action of the leading
turerS in effecting an open Market
followed a series Of conferences mere
for the last three days Of Judge Gary
and the heads of the various Subsl-
diary companies of the Steel Corpor-
alton. together with officials OF other
steel manufacturing companies.
Judge Gary, in the official state
mont saws that the smaller steel man
ufacturing concerns for one cause or
another, particularly the tariff aglta-
ton, have become more or less eX-
cited and demOraliZed and nave been
selling their products below those
prices generally maintained, n TINS
led to unreasonable price cutting by
certain manufacturers who opposed o
change, but felt the necessity or pro-
tecting their customers.

Buenos Ayres. Feb. 2O.-The ArGen-
me steamer Presidente Roca from
Southern ports, according to reports
received here has been wrecked be
tween Puerto San Antonio and Puerto
Madrln on the east coast. The steam

the crew and 200 passengers have
persisted. IT is rumored Also that the
steamer sank.
Press dispatches received here this
afternoon state that the flames spread
with great rapidity. and /. tha the

Southern dairying needs improve
ment all along the line. The cos of
production is unreasonably high, the
sanitary conditions are often bad, and
the price Of first-class products IS in
some cases too low
In conclusion h report points out
that the three main points that every
mind, and which cannot be too
strongly emphasized, are: Better cows.
More homegrown feed. A better pro
duct.
South Below Average.
A noteworthy fact developed by the
investigation is h a the per capita
milk consumption in the South is be-
low the average for the and
that the use of cream, Of which large
amounts are consumed in the North.
is almost unknown in the South. The
per capita daily consumption Of milk
in the United States is estimated at
about two-thirds Of a pint, while in
most Southern cities the daily con
sumption is less than half a pint, and
as low as one-third of a pint IS named
in some places.
Several reasons for this low per
capita consumption Of milg and cream
are given as follows: Indifference as
to the food value Of milk, an inheri-
ted habit Of using milk in small guam
titles, an insufficient supply, suspicion
of the purity Of the product, and the
large negro population. 1t then Is de
clared hat wheE the milk supply Of
Southern cities is improved by means
when the public realizes that an am
pie supply of clean, safe milk can be
obtained, increasing amounts will be
Benefits of Purity.
Here is another opportunity for
49, S---A-
ern dairyman," the report states. las
the public is educated to realize the
difference in the way good milk is
produced Is compared with the infe-
rior article. there will be q Willingness
not only to consume more of that
which is produced in the proper man
ner, but also to pay a higher pricc
for it 1t is pointed out that in
Memphis and Nashville, Tennessee,
A~sheville, n. c., and other places SON"
diaries get one to four cents a Quart
more than others, merely because the
public has confidence hat the product
is pure and clean.
A striking example of the unWisdom
of not producing its own dairy pro
ducts such as butter, reno
waited butter, cheese, condensed milk
n oleo1nargarine and as a Conse-
quence having to import these food
staples and the estimated financial
gain if produced at home is shown. 1t
is SHOWN that the estimated profits
that could be Y to the South
would aggregate S~14,652,727 in the
fifty cities which now import those pro
ducts to the value Of $~22,a57.882 if
1S4,559 COWS We're kept to supply the
deficiency. This would amount to q
profit of $293,O54 for each of the fifty
cities.
It is further shown that II, BOA dairy
or an average of 246 farms per
civ. with fifteen COWS with Tho nrnnov
milk capacity on ach farm, would be
required to supply these products ana

ployment to about twenty-five thous-

Rhode Island Reds for Meat.

Py F.. T. DeGraff, New YORK.
After sixteen years experience Win
fowls I have concluded that Rhode
Island Reds combine more practical
qualities and few ones than any OF the
twenty varieties I have kept.
Thief popularity is due to their
rapid growth. oblong bodies with wide,
plump breats and yellow skins.
Pesides their early maturity they
are very hardy and lay large egg
especially in winter. AS mothers they

Green food is always given them
when there is no grass run. The out

A very good food is made by adding
some charcoal and meat scrap to
jOhnHy-cake.
The chicks are also fond Of dry
wheat bran which is always before
them. Feed little and often. is N
rule.
Milk is often given in addition to
