STEEL MARKETS FEATURE
London Is Buying Heavily, Evidently
Expecting Big Profits to Come
Soon.

New York, Oct. 27.-Operations in
stocks today centered about the steel
group. 1t was not until after the
close of the market that knowledge
Of the government suit for dissolu-
tion of the United States Corporation
reached Wall street, Nevertheless
pressure against the Steel stock was
! constant and severe. The standard
stocks in general were little affected
| by the movement,
Something OF mystery was made
Of the special meeting of United
| States Steel directors. The part
which United States Steel has played
in the market during the turbulent
day Of last month and condition in
the Steel trade gave rise to various
rumors as to the purpose of the
meeting.
When it was announced that the
directors had met to give official
sanction to the plans made known
several days ago for terminating the
| Great Northern ore lands lease and
reducing ore rates on the corpora
tions, railroad prices rose somewhat,
but the improvement was not for
long.
United States Steel is now selling
nearly 25 points below the high
price of the year. The standard
stocks held firmly with majority OF
normal losses.
1t was among the less active
stocks that the chief fluctuations of
the day occurred, aside from the
movement in the Steel group.
London was a buyer in this mar
ket today having purchased about
10000 on balance.
Much of it's purchases were United
States Steel. The report of the
Bank of England and the Bank OF
France showed further strengthen
ing of position, This was especially
true in the case of the Bank OF
France which added more than 81
100000 to its gold holdings and at
the same time reduced its advances
and discounts by $15,S25,000.
Bonds were regular. A fall oi
l21h points in Wabash AS was a re.
minder of the recent break OF ter

bacco lost almost all of yesterday

Sadie had always seemed rather tact

that she was very human after all
She felt just as !. did about going back
for a forgotten article; therefore nc
service I could perform for a fellow

HOG FEEDING IS IMPORTANT
Experiments With Swine Show That
Mineral ElsE.c.ts Are Absolute
Ncce-sIty, Except for Fat, ..s

II Is quite common to furnish hogs
wood ashes, charcoal, salt and other
things of a like nature, as it is thought
such things keep the animals In good
health, The experiment stations are
making study OF this matters Aand
some interesting facts about the need
of mineral elements In animal diet
are given In bulletins 201 and 207 OF
the Ohio experiment station.
1t was shown by one of the expert
ments cited that II was possible to
kill animals quicker by removing the
mineral matter from their food than
to deprive them of all food. In ex.
periments with hogs, the use of chalk,
bone flour, calcium phosphates and
other calcium salts gave good results.
Wheat bran. clover and grasses supply
. much mineral matter In addition to
the much-needed protein, so these
foods are relatively more important
than corn, except during the final nm
ishing period, when mostly fat Is
wanted.
Hogs are bringing long prices these
days, and they certainly deserve good
care and the best we have In the way
of feed.

Glass Walls In Fruit Culture.

Fruit culturists abroad have recent
ly essayed the use of fruit walls Of
glass instead of masonry, with inter
esting results, With glass wall tho
same kinds of fruit can be grown on
both the north and south sides, The.
results In the case of pear trees are
said to be most excellent the, fruit
grown on the north side OF the wall
being equal to that grown on the
south side. and even smoother. Good
results have also been obtained In the
case of peaches and apples. The prin-
cipal objection made to the glass wall,
says the Scientific American, is that
1t does not store up heat like a ma
sonry wall, to keep the plants warm at
night; during the daytime the heat is
nearly equal on both sides OF the
wall.

IN THE sHEEPFOLD.

Keep the sheep pens clean. Dirt
and foul odors affect sheep quickly.
Feed that will keep the bowels open
is the best for this time Of the year.
Wheat bran helps to do 1t.
Sheep will make good use of about
every weed that grows on the farm,
except possibly, thistles and mxllein,
and turn them into flrst-class mutton,
Sheep will dig pretty close to the
grass roots In the early spring II you
give them chance. They like a taste
of something fresh If you feed them
plenty of turnips this will satisfy their
appetites.

Splitting Paper.

Here are two good ways to split a
piece Of paper: First, lay the paper
on a piece of glass, soak It thoroughly
with water and then press 1t smoothly
over the glass. BY using care, the
upper half of the sheet can then be
peeled of, leaving the under half on
the glass. When dry 1t will come of
easily. Be sure that the glass is per-
fectly clean.
Second, paste piece of cloth or
strong paper on each side Of the paper
to, be split. When 1t Is thoroughly dry,
suddenly and violently pull the two
pieces OF cloth apart. Then soften the
paste with water and take the two
halves Of the sheet from the cloths.

TO ELIMINATE
NOISE At SCHOOLS
Board Of Education Wants Creosote
Block Used for Pavements in
Vicinity of Buildings.

School Inspector. Samuel C. Mum
ford, OF the First ward, believes that
the streets In the vicinity of all
schools should be paved with creo-
sote block or some other noiselesS
material In the regular meeting Of
the board of education, Thursday
night, he introduced a resolution.
which was adopted, instructing the
committee on real estate and school
buildings to confer with the corpora
ton counsel with a view to having
an ordinance prepared, requiring that
all pavements laid in the vicinity Of
school buildings hereafter be Of some
nolseless material. The other inspec-
tors agreed that such an ordinance
would be Desirable.
Inspector Mumford also suggested
an Investigation Of the high school
lunch rooms, as soon as the fall term
opens, to determine how they are con.
Quoted, and whether the food served
Ia of good quality. Inspector Gold
berg. chairman of the committee on
janitors and supplies, promised to
look into the matter. Some OF tho
members OF the committee are In
clined to favor municipal lunches In
the schools, he said, but there is some
doubt as 10 whether the board would
have authority to establish them.
Secretary Mari was authorized to
go to Chicago and make arrangements
for the shipment of books to be sold
TO high school students at cost. II
the circuit court decides the pending
Injunction suit in the boards favor.
The board granted the request OF
the Franklinst. settlement for a
kindergarten teacher. This will save
the little tots of the district a dan
gerous trip across the street car
tracks on Jefferson-ave., to the near
