Dear Sir: 1t is not my custom to

a comparative stranger here, one
might look for commiseration in

Following is the item of which
Mr.. Martin complains:
w. E. Martin is getting rather a
costly experience in farming. Last
week he lost his only COW, which he
bought only a few days before.
Soon after he got the COW he went
to Vancouver to tune pianos and
look after his business. interests and
when he got back he found the COW
sick and beyond recovery. Along
about the same time pet cat
slaughtered fourteen chickens SO
!. fast that the cat died too, leaving
him nothing but COW hide, a cat
skin and few feathers to show for

Here's To the Hen!

"Music hath charms" and especial
ly when
1t comes from the throat of some
long idle hen,
For it builds in the breast of the
man who eats eggs
A thought that high hen fruit
will drop a few pegs.
Nor do we much care if she's not
tuned to A
Our concern is to whether her
cackle means lay!
Her breed cuts no ice, be she
dunghill or game.
Her fruits what we're after re-
CARELESS of name.
For the high cost of living hath
stolen life charm,
And we greet the glad cackle that
flows from the farm;
For as soon as the hen fruit comes
rolling to town
The merchant to farmers will say,
Eggs are down."
So here's to the hen. May her
son never set, :"
And the more that she cackles
the cheaper eggs get.
Cheer up, married brother! Let
us look to the hen
To mellow the burden that falls
upon men.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Optimism More Pronounced and General Outlook
Encouraging, Say Dun and Bradstreet

New York, Feb. 3--Bradstreet's re-
view Of the trade tomorrow will say:
while optimism as to the future OUT
look is rather more pronounced than in
any previous week this year actual dis
tributive trade is still quiet and busi-
ness expands rather slowly. Improve
ment in the stock market. which Is ap-
parently disposed to discount expected
favorable future happenings. Is the MANI
spring Of the better feeling noted. this
being re-enforced by easy money and
some announcements of large improve
ment work to be undertaken later by
prominent railway interests.
This has brought about more confident
placing of orders in the steel trade,
mainly for rails and structural material.
but pig iron shows no particular lmprov-
ment Open weather in some sections,
too, favors new building projects which
are being planned at many cities. On the
other. hand extremes of temperature and
widely varying moisture conditions nave
tended to restrict retail trade.
Hot and dry weather in the South
west. high temperatures in the eastern
half of the cotton belt. and excessive rains
in California are some of the ,obstacles
noted to full retail distribution. while at
Northern and Western cities retail trade
is hardly up to expectations based upon
price reductions designed to move stocks
of winter goods.
In wholesale lines buying is still con-
servative, especially so in textiles. and
producers in these lines report prices
showing little profit in manufacture with
a good proportion of machinery not en-
ployed. In other industries operations IN
many lines still show the current de-
mand sufficient to give admittedly small
stocks freely enough to encourage opera
tons of a normal character"
