greatest possible pitch.
The Felvic Bone Test-This is a test
which same have claimed as final and
conclusive. Immediately below the
tail at the end of side pieces of the
back are two somewhat bony protu-
berances. These are called the pelvic
or LAY bones, and are just above the
vent through which the eggs must
pass. When an egg is laid, these bones
must be forced apart to allow it's free
passage. When these bones are soft
and pliable, and spread sufficient to al
low three fingers to be placed between
them, it is an indication that the hen
is laying. If they are hard and bony,
and close together the hen would not
be considered as laying at that time.
Experience has shown that this method
will usually tell whether or not hen
was made.
To hum up, an ideal laying hen
should conform as nearly as possible
to the following: Cd Shem ust be very
healthy; CD comb wattles and face,
red in color; CD eye bright and lus-
trous; (4) neck not short, but rather
medium to long; (5) breast broad and
long. slopings inward. (6) back. long
and broad; CD abdomen, wide and
deeper than breast; (S) shanks, well
spread an drather long; CO. V-shaped
IN three ways, viz, (a) on sides. front
to rear, (b) top and bottom, front to
rear, (c) base of TAIL downwards; 0O)

CHRISTIANS AREII

CONSTANTINOPLE, Mar 29-The

Greeks being in the majority. Some of
them were quite happy, singing, shout

these groups as far as the barricks.
This ENROLMENT is being effected

Selecting Laying Hens

There are several things which
should be considered in selecting hens
for layers: First, shape and size; Sec

Shape and Size-The first thing to
notice concerning the shape is
whether or not the hen is rangy or
blocky
Queer; while the more rangy one in
dicates the production of eggs Since
the development of the egg, to a large
extent, takes place in the region of the
body below the broad part of the back,
that part of the body should be broad
er than the fore-part This gives. to the
body a Vshaped appearance as
viewed from the top, the small part of
the V lying toward the front When a
hen is in heavy laying condition, her
abdomen is lower than than the breast
line. This gives the body the appear
ance of being V-Shaped as viewed
from the side along the top and bot
tom lines. with the small part of the
V toward the front This enlargement
of the body in the abdominal region
makes the back appear somewhat
narrower, giving the body q V-ShaDed
appearance from the back downward
on the sides as viewed from the rear
Thus, body V-shaped in three d.rec
tons indicate large productive pow
ers
A large hen usually lays the larger
eggs. This rule may not hold true il

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The
charge preferred on the floor of the
house last Friday by Representative
Martin, democrat of Colorado, that
''the former attorney of the Sugar
trust is now the head of the depart
ment of justice of the present admin
istration, brought forth letter of de-
NAL from Attorney General Wicker
sham addressed to Representative
Bennett of New York, and read into
the house record today. Mr.. Wicker
sham's letter follows:

Record of March % a statement made
by a member from Colorado that the

is at the head of the department of
justice Of the present administration

for then the tendency is to produce
smaller eggs. With such fowls as the
Leghorns whose tendency is to lay
smaller eggs, the selection should be

melting they lose all their color in face
and comb and the size of their combs
become very small, but as soon as lay
ing commences the combs enlarge and
the color returns. Many instances have
been noted with Leghorns and Minor
cas- which indicate that the birds with
the largest and reddest combs are in

this rule sometimes occur, but they are

quotation from a newspaper editorial
reading Attorney General Wicker

THAT such statements may not gain
any currency, l would like to state
through you / never was attorney for
the sugar trust-by which l under
stand is meant the American Sugar
Refining company and its allied or
subsidiary corporations-or had any
professional or business relations with
it,
1.-The only possible foundation for
such q statement lies in the fact that
one of my partners, some three years
ago, was retained as counsel for the
American Sugar Refining company in
a single law suit brought against it.,
and pursuant to such retainer, he as
sisted in the defense of the company
in that action and an appeal taken
from a judgement in it's favor, but in
that law suit 1 was neither consulted
nor did I render any service"
Representative Martin was not on
the floor of the house at the time the
letter was read by Mr.. Bennett, but

a copy of the attorney generals let

tended TO carry his Charges against

conclusion. He now has resolution
pending for an investigation Of the
acquisition of friar lands in the Phil

HOLIDAY QUIET
IN STOCK MARKET

In the railroad clrc eS IS the uifi 81
of labor, and the possibilities of un-
reasonable demands. Railroad man
ayers are generally willing to make
moderate concessions to their en-
employees; but are finding that stock
holders also are insisting upon hav-
ing a share in any prosperity which
the railroads may be enjoying. Sew
eral prominent railroads have already
increased their dividends, and there are
rumors of others to follow. Under
such circumstances it is not surpris-
ing that stocks are firmly held, and
genera ly receive a preference over
bonds.
General trade is fairly active. Here
and there weak spots may be found,
especially where an excessive advance
in prices has checked consumption and
distribution Cotton goods have al
ready receded somewhat, owing to the
conditions just named and the de-
cline was quickly followed by a bet
ter demand for fabrics. Our cotton
manufacturers, however, are still en-
barrassed by the high price Of raw
material. In the wooden industry the
large mills are generally busy, but
some of the smaller concerns are suf-
fering from a paucity of orders. The
iron and steel trade is in good form,
and the outlook promising. Later on
the railroads are sure to be heavy
buyers of equipment, and other ma
terials: and this industry will be sti-
mulated by recent security issues more
than any other. In other branches of
trade a conservative spirit is dis
pIayed. owing to the high level OF
prices which induces caution on the
part of bankers in making advances,
and prevents distributors from carry
ing large stocks. The commercial
outlook however, is generally satls-
factory. Thus far agricultural pros
poets are equally so. Farmers are en-
loving almost unprecedented prosper
jty. and appear to be possessed with
the idea of holding their produce back
for the highest possib results.
Whether or not they will over-reach
themselves in this respect remains to
be seen. The new crops are not very
far distant, and there is a point be-
vond which it will be imprudent for
producers to hold their products from
the market. 1t will not do, moreover,
to overlook that the high cost of liv-
ing and the high tariff are producing
a strong undercurrent of political dis
quiet. A renewed period of tariff ag1-
tation is almost certain, but this is
matter of the distant future, and may
not have any immediate bearing upon
the stock market.
The monetary situation is generally
sound Rates are firm, and may pos
sibIy show some sharp fluctuations
during the coming week. Before long,
however-probably by the middle of
April-easier rates viii prevail, and
there will be nothing in this respect
to interfere with the resumption of
stock exchange activity. For the pre-
sent, we would advise conservatism
in stock exchange operations; because
the immediate outlook for money, la
Dor and the London market is uncer-
tain.
