HEAVY SELLING OF STEEL
CAUSED GREAT CONFUSION
The Preferred Stock Slumped
5 liz Points, Lowest Since
1908-Common Fell a

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-The stock mar
ket was thrown into confusion today by
selling of United States Steel stocks on
an enormous scale From almost every
part of the country orders poured in to
sell the stocks of the billion doIalr com
bine." Confusion prevailed on the floor
of the stock exchange, as brokers strug-
gled to dispose of their holdings. Prices
crumbied rapidly.
The preferred stock slumped IL points
to 1O5 IA, it's lowest price since 1905
The common fell to 50 10, loss of 4
points. its low record since 1903 On Sep
TENDER l. the preferred sold at 115 and
the common at 20. During the forenoon
transactions in steel stocks exceeded yes
terdays total Of 10000 shares.
The long slump in United States Steel
is generally ascribed to fear of many
investors that dissolution of the corpo-
ration may be necessary in order to COM
"a, with the Federal governments view
l. regard to the enforcement Of the anti
trust law.
Chairman Gary, of the steel corpora
ton, today declined to make any state
ment in connection with the report that
the corporation would voluntarily dis
solve.
The decline in the steel stocks following
yesterdays slump in the same issues,
caused considerable alarm and prices
gave way rapidly elsewhere among the
industrials.
United States Attorney Wise says that
the steel corporation has made no prop
osition to the government through his
office for a voluntary dissolution or q
segregation of its companies.
The market, closed weak. final raid against
United States Steel broke it to IS. the lowest

ated. have very fine young bitch,

on her hook bone. as If he had been
hit, but I kept her up and know
positively that no one ever hit her.
The has lost entire use Of her leg
now and never attempts to use it or
put 1t down, and consequently it is

if sore.
ANSWER.
After reading your letter carefully,
/ do not believe there is anything
you can possibly do for your dog.
The trouble seems to be of long stand
ing. and 1t getting gradually worse
indicates that she has had lick or
has been paralyzed. / do not think
you could possibly cure her. All in

In reference to the COW. At this

QUESTIONS ASKED AND ANSWERED:

1t would be a good idea to decrease
the amount of cotton seed meal you
are feeding into half, and add more
bran and about the same amount
of corn meal. and If you can get
some beet pulp, it will add very
much TO TIE ration.
Three-quarters of a pound of but
ter is not a bad yield for heller,
especially during the hot months.
The only thing that will remedy the
soft butter is to keep your milk
cooler, and churn your milk at a
lower temperature.
NJ. J. c.. Macon. Ca
have 80 White Wyandottes
months old. VIII you please saw
what amount of mixed ration should
be given at each meal and how many
times per day, giving the scraps from
the table at noon? Further. what is
a good cure for sorehead?
ANSWER:
AS you failed to give your name,
I am mailing to M. j. c., care Gener-
al Delivery, a remedy for sorehead.
This has been published in The
Journal three times. 4
You should feed the 50 White
Wyandottes, months old, all they
will eat clean three times per day;
and you should keep before them at
all times, in a self-feeding hopper, a
dry mash composed of bran. shorts,
corn meal and meat scrap. If you
wish them to develop and do well.
they should have plenty, feed The.
scraps from the table are all right
to give to them, but some corn meal
should be added with the scraps and
make a good stiff mash out of the
corn meal and scraps mixed together,
and this should be fed in a trough.
/ am also mailing directions for the
dry mash.
pullets Matched this year, and take
one OF the cockerels and mate with
the hens that you have used this
year, which, practically speaking.
viii give you two lines of new blood
with the two pens.
In reference to the carbolic acid
and linseed oil from one to two
ounces to a pint of linseed oil is all
right Usually where one has the
full strength carbolic acid. one ounce
is enough. If the mixture Is not
strong enough to turn the sores on
the chicken black In 10 to IL hours.
small amount more should be added
as the carbolic acid is not strong
enough.
c. L. Collum, Porterdale Ga.
Please tell me something to get rid
of sand fieas. Would like a remedy
to prevent them in my houses.
ANSWER.
The best way to get ria of heas on
your chickens is to grease the head.
OF each chicken with eli solution of
linseed oil, carbolic acid and salt.
Then you should clean their houses
thoroughly, and spray with solution
of salty water. 1t will do no good
to get them off your chickens unless
you get rid of them in the dusty
places where your chickens inhabit.

Thanksgiving greetings to all:
Next Thursday is the day we eat or
at least we hope we do. We have every
intention so far of eating everything
in sight, and the fowls of the air had
better keep under cover.
Puppy has the sulks. He says gar
dening is a sad disappointment. Last
Monday he went forth into the back
yard and planted dozen pumpkin
seeds. Then he sat down and waited
for them to grow pumpkin in time
for Thanksgiving. Now it's Saturday,
Thanksgiving is only five days off and
there's not sign of leaf yet.
Ju-Ju is also in a disgruntled state
of mind. Somebody took him for a
turkey the other day and chased him
10 blocks. Since then he's been the
widest, giddiest thing in town.
This is to wish you ethe merriest,
happiest Thanksgiving you've ever
had. Have good time on your hol-
iday; that's what holidays are for.
