FINANCE AND TRADE REVIEW
WEATHER is uNFAvoRABLE
Commodities In Less Demand, With
Prices Unsatisfactory and
Collections Poor.

New York.-Bradstreet's sums up
the trade conditions as follows:
While there has been some ex-
pansion in house jobbing trade in dry
goods, millinery and kindred lines,
and business in agricultural imple-
ments, seeds and fertilizers has been
large, the unsettlement caused by
price reductions in the iron, steel and
other metal markets, the weakness in
securities and the nearer approach
of tariff revision have all made for
degree of uncertainty not so plainly
visible for long time past. Weather
conditions, too, have played part
In arresting retail trade, county roads
are In bad shape, farmers deliveries
are affected despite attractive prices
for grain, and there has been, in fact,
an apparent slowing down in the cur
rent Of trade, which, however tenn
porary 1t may be, has tended to make
comparisons with year ago at this
time, largely favorable as they still
are, less satisfactory than was ex-
pected some time ago.
'As yet the reductions announced,
or believed to be impending, in the
metal markets have not made for
large business being booked. The
coal and coke trades respond sympa-
thetically to the unsettlement in
metals, and there is also evidence
that over-production of coarse cotton
yarns will force a reduction in out
put. The finer grades of cotton
goods are, however, in good shape,
mills are behind on deliveries, the
leading woolen goods interests are re-
ported to have booked orders equal
to last years entire output, and the
wool market is strong, with foreign
woods chiefly bought, because Of the
scarcity of stocks of domestic grades.
Reports from the rubber shoe
manufacturing industry are better
and mills employing 10000 hands
resumed.
"Shoe trade reports are that manu-
facurers are busy on spring orders.
Leather is quiet and some imperfect
lots are easier.
Business failures in the United
States for the week ending with Feb
ruary 25 were 244, against 2S2 last
week, 311 in the like week of 1908,
1914 In 1907, 1870 in 1906 and 2S in
1905"

A dozen eggs in winter, feed and all
taken in consideration, are worth a
little better than two dozen eggs thru
the summer.
Lime plastering or mortar, broken
in suitable sized pieces, will fill the
bill. Where plaster is not obtainable,
keep a supply of slaked lime where
they can pick at it when they wish.
Often is lime noted as being one of
the best purifiers, and sweeteners to
use in the poultry quarters, which is
very true, but in the relation lime
bears towards helping egg production,
not SO much is said
Don't ever neglect providing water,
as warm as from the well, several
times each day. 1t is just as neces-
sary to the hens well-being as in the
summer. Milk is fine drink, but wa
ter must be provided also.
AS rule the hens that have furn-
ished lots of eggs thru the summer
will not be such good winter layers,
and vice versa. A certain number of
eggs yearly is all they will produce,
but very few furnish nearly as many
as they should were conditions right.
Isn't it foolish to keep a COW, year
after year, that furnishes only enough
butter fat for pound or two each
week? 1t is just as foolish to keep a
flock of hens that are simply board
ers. Make them do better, or else sell
and procure some that will do better.
Did you ever notice how the hens
would stand and pick at the mortar
between the logs of buildings, when
ever broken place gave them a
chance at it? This alone should teach
us that it is necessity for them. One
can learn quite lot from observation
if they only will
If we would think and do more, al

follow our sensible work for them. we
would know lime was one of the need.
fuls for the laying hen. They must
have 1t too from the shells for the
eggs, and while certain foods are
rich In lime it is necessary to feed
lime in order to give them a plentiful
supply.

Loading and HauIino Wood.

One may notice if he will that nine
out of every ten loads of cordwood are
loaded with the wood piled in tiers and
lengthwise of the sled. A generation
ago when the condition of the coun-
try highways made it necessary TO
draw'small, narrow and securely bound
loads, this was, perhaps the best meth
cd of loading cordwood
But the coming of good winter roads,
and the development of wide-bodied
sheds, many of them so wide that a
man cannot reach across them to un-
load wood from the opposite side, have
so changed conditions that it is now
much better to build a load with one
tier extending from the front to the
rear of the sled, and the wood piled
crosswise of the body. Yet the great
majority of farmers still cling to the
oldfashioned method of loading, re-
gardless of the fact that a man must
take from one to three steps and turn
his body halfway around with every
stick. He must also pick up each
stick In an awkward, unhandy manner,
and so hold it that its leverage will
greatly increase its weight. All these
extra motions require time and
strength, and all are eliminated when
the load is built according to the more
modern method
The sled is driven by the side of
and as close to the pile as possible.
The driver stands at the end of the
pile, places one hand under a stick,
takes hold of the end with the other
hand raises the stick and slides it in
end and upon the load. There need be
no extra motions or unnecessary lev.
erage to give additional weight to a
stick of wood, and a man can under
ordinary circumstances load cord
of wood in nearly half the time neces-
sary if the sticks are laid parallel with
the sled. When the load is built a
chain is made fast to one end of the
body. Then it is passed over the load
and made fast to the other end, and
then it is tightened by means of
twister.
1t is true that load of wood may be
bound much more firmly If loaded in
the old-fashioned manner, and if the
distance is great or the roads very
rough, or the sled liable to slew" 1t
may sometimes be better to lay the
sticks parallel with the body. But with
ordinary roads and ordinary distances
much time and strength may be saved
by loading cross-wise of the body.-C.
o. Ormsbee, in the American Cultiva-
tor.

Dressing Jacket,

The simple dressing jacket is the
one that most women prefer and here
is a model that is becoming aud sat-
isfactory to wear, yet which involves
SO little labor in the making that its
simplicity becomes a consideration.
There are tucks over the shoulders
which conceal the armhole seams and
which mean becoming fulness, but
there are only shoulder and under-arm
seams. The front edges are finished
with hens and the sleeves can be
made in full or three-quarter length
as liked. In the illustration challis
is trimmed with banding, but CASH
mere, henrietta and pretty simple
Oriental silks, the various lawns, ba-
tistes and other inexpensive printed
wash fabrics all are appropriate, with
trimming of any banding that may be
liked, or frills of lace would make
dainty finish.
The jacket is made with fronts and
back. 1t is finished with hens at the
front edges and the rolled-over collar
is attached to the neck. The simple
one-piece sleeves are finished with
rolled-over cuffs and the ribbon con-
fines the fulness at the waist line.

Charles H. Caffin, has issued a
most interesting volume under the
title THE Appreciation OF the
Drama" Beginning with the stage
in the days of the mystery plays"
Mr.. Caffin gives the reason why the
theatre has always held 80 strong a
hold on the public mind, exerting a
widespread influence for good or evil,
which has come down to the pres.
ent day. He touches graphically on
the audience and the actor, that sub.
tie and misunderstood feature, dra-
matte construction and the methods
which the playwright best employs
to bring coherent and satisfactory re-.
suits. His closing chapter is partic.
ularly interesting in that it treats of
the American outlook Mr.. Caffin be.
lieves that the widely diversified char.
scteristics OF this country, both as
regards locale and personality, offer
rare opportunities for the American
drama.

Care of Horses.

Heavy or excessive feeding is not
necessary if the horse is in fair con-
dition.
Let horse get poor, hair rough and
dull, and it is more expensive to get
them in condition again than to keep
them in good shape all the time.
Horses should have all the water
they want. They should be watered
often enough so they will not get
chilled by drinking too much cold wa
ter at one time. | have noticed that
the better horses a farmer owns the
more pride both he and his help in
keeping them in good shape and car
ing for them we'll would advise
every farmer to breed the best horses
he can. If buying team, get as good
Q pair as you can afford. A really good
team will usually do better service;
besides, it is a pleasure and satisfac-
tion to own such animals. They sell
quicker and for more money when
you wish to dispose of them.
A word about young horses and colts

for his working and driving animals.
Remember that feeding as well as
breeding governs the value of your
colt when old enough for business.
Keep him thrifty and growing nicely
from a weanling to maturity. The lack
Of a little feed while young has re-
duced the value, one-half on many
farm and market horses.
Watch the colts feet, keep them
straight and not too long. Examine the
teeth. If any sharp corners are found
near the cheek take them off with a
file or float. Bad digestion and un-
pleasant drivers have been cured in
this way.
Should you have sick horse or
colt use some standard remedies, or
employ good veterinarian. Too many
kinds of harmful doses, advised by
friends, and too much activity in Civ
ing them by anxious owners, has
helped to shorten the life of many

Cost of EilIlnu SiIo.

The cost of filling silo will vary
with the length of the haul from the
field to the silo, and with price of
labor, etc.
The Department of Agriculture. has
found the cost to vary from fifty to
ninety cents per ton. That is it costs
from fifty cents to one dollar ton to
cut ton of silage in the field, haul it
to the ensilage cutter, shred it and
blow it into the silo. The distance
that it is necessary to haul the silage
has great effect on the cost of fill
ing silo
The average yield of silage is from
nine to fourteen tons per acre.
The average amount of silage cut
lper day per man working at the job,
WAS five tons, and the average cost
of putting an acre of corn in the silo
rs therefore $500.
