First Feeding Of Chicks.

Don't feed raw dough or rough
mash to young chicks such as you
feed larger chicks. Raw dough our
in the crop and brings on all sorts Of
bowel troubles. If you want to feed
this stuff cook it we'll beforehand.
Well through and through. not
just a hard crust on. the outside and
the middle u soggy. wet mash. This
is as bad AS feeding It raw.
Chicks will do we'll for awhile on a

the ROMANCE OF WHEAT.
Once Raised For Princes Only, hoss
the Worlds Food. E3

Once Raised For Princes Only, Now
the Worlds Food.
Whom is the food of princes and
neasants. 1t is the food Of the world.
Il wus known to be the best food for
fifty centuries. but it did not unit
thirty or forty years ago become uni
yersal. Every community ate all y
raised. There was none to sell. It
was SO precious that only kings and
+be nobilities could afford it. 1t was
sowed by peasants. who reaped It
with a sickle by hand. For 5.OOO
wears no better plan was conceived
than the sickle aud the scythe. Then
came the reaper. an invention by Cy-
ms a. Mccormick. Of Scotch-irish de-
scent, Then the world began eating
white bread.
This new machine. the reaper. when
IT was full grown into the self binder
was equal to forty sickles. With one
q to drive it. 1t could Gu . Dind
enough wheat in one season to feed
400 persons. In it's most highly de-
yeloped form. the combined harvester
and thrasher, it has become so gtgan-
tic a machine that thirty-two horses
are required to haul it.
This leviathan cuts a fifty foot road
way through the grain. thrashes 1t
and bags it at the rate of u bag
every half minute. and the total
world production of reapers OF every
sort-self binders. mowers. eaders
corn binders, etc.-is probably us
many as 100000 a year. two-thirds
of them being made in the United
States.
Because Of this harvesting ma
chinery the wheat crop of the world
is now nearly twice what it was in
1879. The American crop has multi
Piled six and a half times in fifty
years. Western Canada. Australia.
Siberia and Argentina have become
wheat producers.
The cost Of growing n bushel In
America with machinery fand high
wages is now about half a dollar.
which is less than the cost in Europe
and as low as the cost in India. where
laborers can be hired for u few pen
MES a day. With Il sickle the time
cost of a bushel of wheat was three
hours. With a self binder it is now
ten minutes.
Then came the steamboat and the
railroad that carried the grain. At the
outset it was shipped in bags. Then
some railway genius invented the grain
car, which holds as much as twenty or
twenty-five wagon loads. and today n
of the ordinary moving pictures OF an
American railroad is Il sixty car train
travelling eastward with enough wheat
in it's rolling bins to give bread to q
city of 10000 people for a year.
The Siberian railway. which is the
longest straight line Of steel In the
world. was built largely MS u wheat
c%onveyor. So were the railways OF
western Canada. Argentina and India.
l. 1t is cheaper to carry wheat from
one country to another than from the
barn 10 the nearest town. The average
distance that an American farmer has
to haul his grain. is nine and a half
miles. and the average cost of Mulage
is . for a hundred pounds. Thus
1t has actually become true that to
carry wheat ten miles by wagon costs
more than 2.3M miles by steamship.
Such is the tense efficiency Of our
wheat carrier system that ii, blShel Of
grain car now be picked up IN Mis-
souri, and sent to the cotton spinners
Of England for :; dime. I.

ness confidence. During Nay railroad
earnings gained 154 per cent over 1908.
while the decrease. as compared with 1901.
was is per cent Bank clearings for the
week increased a-s per cent over las,
year. and l22 per cent over 1907. outside
OF New York, while In New York. owing
in part to widely speculative activity. the
gain was as great as 765 per cent over
1908. and Ss5 per cent over 1906.

demand, and with keener solicitation for
prompt delivery. The copper trade begins

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Cold Weather Delays Crops, But the General
Outlook of Business Is Good

New York. June 11.-Bra1street's review
Of the state Of trade tomorrow viii say:
Cool. wet weather has retarded crop
cultivation in some sections and dulled
retail trade throughout wide areas. but
on the other hand has furnished plen-
tiful supply Of moisture to wheat. oats,
hay. and corn. making. with possible good
future conditions, especially warm sun
shine. for later favorable crop progress,
and 70 this extent enhancing trade pros
poets for next fall and winter.
Reports from the leading industrials
are. on the whole. favorable, so far as
booking Of future orders Is concerned.
Some wage advances are reported. and
assumptions OF blast furnaces are re-
ducing the floating labor supply. There
is a reported widening demand for cot
ton goods: print cloths have regained
the loss OF a few weeks ago; woolen
goods trade reports are Of good busi-
ness booked or pending. and wool. though
less active than OF late. is still very
strong at high-level prices.
The leather trade is active. with high
prices ruling. in sympathy with hides and
skins. which are apparently scarce.
Eastern shoe orders are fair. Shipments
are q per cent larger than year ago
but smaller than in any previous year
back to 1901 Building trade reports con-
firm earlier predictions OF record spring
construction far surprising all previous
records ever compiled"
