Week Of Active Business--MOney !.

Aside from actual stock market condi-
lions. all signs continue to point to the
active demands of business for all ia
citites.
Bank clearings throughout the country
show heavy expansion. Every effort Is
strained to get the greatest use of the
shortened supply of freight cars. Ship
pers of grain, of potatoes and of sort
coal have been compliments of deficient
car supply to the Interstate Commerce
Commission. Production of iron, like ore
shipments and shipments of steel from
the mill in October made record show

orders breaking all previous records in
the history of the United States Steel
Corporation.
Production of refined copper approached.
near, to the August record. The enor-
mout outgo of grain foreshadows Octo-
Der records for values of exports. Revis-
ed estimated of the corn crop raised it
to 'bumper' proportions, with its ship
ment yet to come. The severe traffic re-
ouirements on the railroads are forcing
increased outlay for upkeep with some
effect on net earnings and the necessity
for expansion of facilities. The high
price demanded for capital, especially
for use by the railroads, complexities this
problem. The garnering. of profits at the
present prosperous activity is depended
upon to supply resources for these pros
peetive demands for capital. The firmer
tone of bond prices and the power of re-
sistance to shock shown by the standard
government issues abroad also point to
improving conditions for investment.
The explosive possibilities of the Bal
kan settlement keep alive anxiety. The

New York, Nov. 10.--The Presiden-
tial election forced attention in the
securities market, last week, but that
event shared with, other factors as
causes of the temporary recovery in
prices. Men of influence in the bank
ing, railroad, industrial and mercan-
tile worlds We're quoted in expressions
of confidence over the progress of
prosperity under new political condi-
tons. The stock market of the day
after election followed the precedent
of the four previous national cleo
tons with sudden expansion in deal
ings and >effeverscent price movement.
1t differed from the presidents in the
dullness and reaction Of the first deal
ings. The squirt in prices was coinci-
dent with the publication Of the state
ment from the President Elect, con-
tanning the assurance that There Is
absolutely nothing for the honest and
enlightened business men Of the
country to fear"
A dormant short interest of unsus
pected dimensions helped the squirt.
Apparently some stress had been laid
on the fear that the election might be
thrown into Congress for settlement.
The later reaction in prices was ac-
companied by discussion of the pos
sible calling of an extra session of
Congress after March 4, to enter upon
the revision of the tariff laws.
Domestic politics aside, there was
universal relaxation of money strain
to account for the recovery In prices.
The completion of the November set
Element was primarily responsible for
this, as seen in the repayments TO the
great central banks abroad and the
return of dividend and interest mon
ey to the New York money market
which led I'd the easing of the call
loan rate.
The completion of payments in the
payments in the Paris stock market
settlement also relieved a strain.

SECURING EGGS IN WINTER
Farmer Has Discovered That II 10
Profitable to Have Commodlous
and Comfortable Houses.

The farmer has become wise to the
fact that it is possible to have winter
eggs, which no longer is an idle dream,
as was the belief In the days of our
forefathers. The farmer. too, has dis
covered that 1t is economy to have
commodious, comfortable winter
houses, and that for success there
must not be q single mongrel per-
mitted on the place. He has even
gone a step farther, and invested in
incubators and breeders that he may
devote a part of the winter months
to profit instead Of comparative idle
ness.
In short, he has in operation COM
plete poultry plant, and it has proved
to be the best crop on the farm, That
ia the revelation of today. and the
farmer makes the most of 1t for the
reason that he has the proper facili-
ties.
The purebreeds of the present day
are 80 superior in utility that one sell
dom comes across a flock of cross
breeds, and the one that keeps mon
grels Is not of the class that is max
ing success.
The fanciers of today deserve the
credit for this change. 1t was due to
their skill that health, ruggedness and
practical qualifications became a part
Of the makeup of their breeds.
So sharp has become competition in
this line that the breeders Of differ
ent varieties are working for egg rec
ords and meat supplies in preference
to show requirements, Even the Amer
lean Standard of Perfection has modi-
fed the laws of breeding SO that utili-
ty will not be sacrificed. Truly we
have entered an era when poultry be-
comes the food fowl instead of the
show bird.
1t has been proved that. properly
bred, pure bloods are more prolific
layers, give more uniform size and
color to the eggs, and the young stock
mature more uniformly and give bet
ter carcasses, and utilize the food con-
sumed to better advantage, than Is the
case with either crossbreds or mon.
grels.

PROPER FEEDS FOR POULTRY
Best Rule Is to Watch Fowls and Give
Them What They VIII Clean Up

Generally speaking, the poultryman

formulas. II he will feed about one
third as much corn as all other grains
and feed animal and vegetable feeds

factory results. Those who are &C.
customed to compromising rations
might remember that a ratio of about
Is Is considered a good ration for
laying hens and 1.6 good one for
fattening poultry Of all kinds.
Fowls require the equivalent OF
about 81 pounds of dry feed for each
800 pounds of live weight. That is,
100 hens weighing pounds each
would require about 81 pounds of dry
matter each day. II they are given
milk, green, or other wet or juicy
feeds, they will require less grain
About ounces of dry matter per day
is the quantity required for best re-
suits.
The very best rule Is to watch the
fowls and feed them about all they
will eat. It is not good plan to al
low feed to lie uneaten. There is nc
danger Of the hens becoming too fat
as long as they are kept busy scratch
ing for their feed. 1t Is the fat hen
that lays the eggs regularly.

Fiddle With a Brain.

|, The latest invention is a violin that
plays Itself. People who have heard
1t say that it possesses the delicacy
Of touch and sweetness of tone of a
finished player, Parsons Weekly
states. ...
Really the mechanical violin con-
sists of three instruments. The bow
is circular hoop of horsehair which
travels around continually. Standing
on end inside the hoop are three vio-
Inns.
Along the neck of the instruments
stretch row Of uncanny fingers that
run up and down the strings just like
real fingers. The violins stand back
about an inch from the moving hoop
of horsehair, against which they are
pushed at the right moment when the
nCte Is struck
The hardest tunes to play present
no difficulties to this marvellous fiddle.
1t Is not likely to replace the human
player in the orchestra for some time,
at least, as the cheapest kind costs
$4,000.
Like most machines, however, 1t
lacks one thing; 1t cannot tune itself.
When any of the notes get fiat the
strings have to be frightened by mere
man in almost the same way as an
ordinary violin.

Uses Of Uranium.

There is considerable popular inter-
est in uranium in the United States on
account of its connection with ra-
dunn. Very little uranium is mined
in this country, except as 1t is Incl
dentally taken out In mining carnot-
lite for vanadium, according to the
United States geological survey. In
1911 the uranium mined amounted
to about twenty-one and two-tenths
tons. A few hundred pounds of pitch
blende was mined from the German
anime, at Central City, Colo, but this
material was not sold, as 1t was said
to have been used In experimental
work. The extraction of radium has
been attempted In the United States
by several persons and firms. Some
Of these have given up their efforts.
but others are still at work. Uranium
is employed principally for making
yellow glass, for yellow glazes on
pottery, and in a less degree as a
chemical reagent. Yellow glass made
with uranium oxide Is known as
"opalesceat." Direct light shining
through 1t gives yellow color and
indirect light greenish yellow.
Some Of the firms which have at
tempted to use uranium in the manu-
facture Of steel have abandoned such
experiments, the claim being made
that 1t apparently imparts about the
same properties as tungsten, and is
very much more expensive.
