TIMELY TOPICS.

1t is mistake to combine the lamp
and the fireless brooder. They are
operated OH quite different principles
and cannot be blended. | find that
some people who have tried the I'll eless
brooder with good results have jump
ed to conclusion that the lamp brood
or would work better if run at low
temperature. But this is seriOns
error. In the fireless brooder the
chicks are confined at first in space
just large enough to hold them com
fortably, followed out of the chaff
with which the brooder is filed. AS
the chicks grow and tougher they are
given more room until, by the time
they are fairly we'll feathered, they
are given the whole of the hrooder to
hover in. Then too, by that time they
have learned to huddle together for
warmth.
The lamp brooder is kept at tenn
perature of 95 degrees at the start and
this temperature is gradually lowered
at the rate of about Eve degrees per
week until the chicks are able to do
without heat. The fact that chicks do
we'll without artificial heat in the fire
less brooder is no reason for supplying
only half the proper quantity of heat
to the chicks in the lamp brooder and

The question Of preponderance of
the sexes is bound to occur to the
poultry raiser at this time, though we
have not much definite information to
base conclusions on. But the weight
of evidence seems to favor the opinion
that cockerels preponderate during the
early part of the season and pullets
during the latter part. Just why this
should be SO is hard matter to de-
termine. A number of different the
cries have been supplied to fit the case
and none Of them are susceptible OF
proof. For several years l have hatch
ed a good many chicks in January and
February in order to get early hatch
ed breeding cockeIels and in most of
these matches the cockerels we're in a
decided majority. 1t should be noted
here that these matches we're always
from eggs of two and three year old
hens mated to early Matched cockerels.
have occasionally Matched a few
chicks as late as July and generally
got more pullets than cockerels. At
that time of year the eggs were likely
to be, in part at least, from pullets
mated to two year old cock birds.
Mrs. Swaysgood, in the Petaluma
Poultry journal says that the little
chicks should have sod or damp earth
to run on, as without it leg weakness
or at best poor development is likely
to result. PROFESSIONALLY she is
right; the chicks should be given a
chance on the ground and when the

to put in board floors and chopped
straw should be supplied as litter
A shallow layer of sand under the
litter, while desirable is not neces-
sary.
The heating stove with distillate
burner is placed in the center of the
room and, to ensure absolute safety,
it is placed on a thin sheet of cement
The tank containing the d1stillate is
placed outside the room about four
feet above the level of the floor and
the supply pipe, one-half inch in di-
ameter, runs under the floor boards to
the bottom of the stove, feeding the
burner from the bottom, needle
valve regulating tie flow of the distil-
late perfectly. The burner is of cast
iron, of the retort pattern. When No.
Engine distillate Is burned a supply
pipe one fourth inch in diameter can
be used with good results. Several
rooms with their stoves may be sup
piled from one tank and one main line
of feed pipe with branch and valve
to each stove.
From 1000 to 1900 chicks may be
placed in a room and for the first few
days it is advisable to surround the
stove in a circle with a two foot strip
of wire fencing thus cutting out the
corners of the room and keeping the
chicks near the heat and away from
the corners until they have hardened
little and have learned to flop down on
the floor and sleep without piling up
against the wall for there is tendency
on the part of young chicks to crowd
up against something. No thermome-
ter is used when brOoding chicks in
this manner the chicks are themselves
the thermometers and when they
come close to the stove it means that
more heat is needed, and when they
back away to the sides of the room the
heat should be reduced. At an early
stage OF the brooding sufficient num-
Der of roosts should be gut in one
end of the room about a foot above
the floor and the chicks will just
naturally learn to use them.
The chicks are fed IN the litter and
in hoppers where this latter method is
preferred. The rooms should be
cleaned once a week or Oftener and
cleaning out is not difficult process.
The chicks are driven to one end of
the room and this part is cleaned md
the litter renewed. They are then
turned back there and the remainder
of the room is cleaned.
The openings to the outside yard
should be made foot wide so that
the chicks may come and go without
jamming IN the opening. The chicks
may be kept in the rooms until broil-
er size if the room is not needed for
another brood. A correspondent asks
the following questions which have
not been covered above.
l. Can the stoves with distillate
burner be had small enough to use
e economically with 200 chicks?
Ans. No. 1t would cost as much
to equip and heat for 200 as for 800 or
1000.
2. Can these stoves be had on the
Sound?
Ans. Not at the present time. The
writer and several others are now

Cotton Market.

NEW YORK, March I5.-The cotton mar
ket was very irregular and nervous today,
with operations in lareg blocks of May
contracts imparting an almost sensational
tone to the early trading. Later business
was less active and the close was steady
at net 5 points lower to 2 points higher,
new crop months being relatively steady.
The opening was firm at an advance OF
4gl2 points, which carried active months
into new high ground for the movement
with May selling at 16.03c and October at
l2,S7c, on the strong showing OF the cables
and covering. Realizing sent prices off a
few points right after the call and at
1880 for May a prominent broker offered
10000 bales. This was quickly taken by
followed up the purchase by buying two
other lots of 10000 bales each IN quick sue
cession at A,97c and 1866 and who then
bid 1A.95c for 0,000 bales more.
Meanwhile a large business was trans
acted In July and 1t was that
during the( first hour the New Orleans
bulls took at least $1,000 bales for May and
July delivery. While these purchases
seemed to demonstrate the confidence and
power Of the bull clique, local professionals
thought 1t possible that buying power had
been pretty well filled up and the market
during the middle of the day eased off
TO a net loss of about 90l6 points, under
bear pressure and scattered realizing.
May declined TO 14S2c and October to
R.7c, or about 20p21 points from the high
level Of the morning, but rumors of rains
was p partial rally later on reports OF a
revival In the xpo demand for cotton
goods, claims OF firm interior spot mar

HURON, s. D., March 15.-CSpecial)-
William Dunning, aged about IS and sin
gle, is mysteriously missing from this city.
He was driver for Barrett s. Giard, livery
men, and Sunday morning. while return
ing from the country with a team and top
buggy, attempted to cross a ravine about
a mile from the city and near the Jim
river. As a result OF the melting snow
water was running In torrents through the
ravine and the bridge had been carried
away. Indications show that when the
team was about half way across the
stream one OF the horses fell and was
drowned. The other, with the buggy,
reached shore. Parties in the neighbor-
hood saw the outfit and went to the res
cue, but Dunning could not be found. A
large posse of men spent a good portion
of Sunday dragging the stream, but up to
this time Duning has not been found. The
belief now is that he abandoned the rig
and fled. fearing the firm would make
trouble because of the accident. Dunning
was in the employ Of Barrett q Giard for
some time last summer and also for the
last month. He told conflictig stories con-
cerring himself. claiming to be a married
man and having a family near Lincoln,
Nebp afterwards denying the story. He
is medium height, well built, dark com
plexion and a man Of quiet demeanoT.

liberal, 28 cars being reported In. While TINS
makes the total for the week quite large,
still 1t was none too large TO supply the
requirements OF the trade.
Beef steers opened slow and the feeling
at the outset was weak Heavy receipts
and the scarce reports as to the prospects
OF extensive railroad strikes made buyers
cautious and at the outset II looked very
much as II the market would be slow at
least and possibly lower. AZ the morning
advanced II became apparent that buyers
wanted the cattle and both local packers
and shippers began riding, with the result
up until the market was safely strong to
lOo higher. On this basis the early arrivals
were soon disposed OF. At the high point Of
the day, the market was safely 1OQ20c higher
than last week. There was quite q number
of good cattle in the yards this morning
that sold up as high as Wigs, the highest
price paid so far this year.
