ably be announced tomorrow.
There is a marked Improvement SEN
timent in financial circles. The de-
mand for the New York one and two
year 6s continues and the quiet buy
ing Of stocks and bonds at slightly re-
duced prices indicates better feeling
generally. London promises a speedy
ending of The moratorium in London
and consequent reopening in the
comparatively near future of business
on the London exchange. This is
practically a necessity before the New
York exchange can resume business.
Success in the formation OF the gold
pool is another favorable feature of
the situation.

cULLNG MAKES FINE FOWLS
!Runts and Deformed Birds Should Be
Disposed Of Immediately to Make
Room for Good Ones.

The first great secret in the pro-
duction of fine poultry is severe cul-
ling. AS soon as you can distinguish
between the good and the bad, COM
mence the culling process. The runts
and the detormed, the off-colored and
the disqualified, should be at once dis
posed of, 30 that the room and feed
may not be appropriated by them to
the detriment Of the good ones.
Select fowls of good size, proper
color and correct formation. If the
backs, keels, legs or toes Of any are
crooked or deformed, thrown them out
for the table on the market. If there
are any scrubs, small or feeble ones,
1t Is best to end their existence.
When you Gull, Gull closely, and re-
tain only such specimens as are rea-
sonably sure to grow right. It is only
by such systems of severe culling
that one can ever hope to breed rea-
sonably uniform specimens Of fancy
poultry.

WHITE LEGHoRNs FOR EGGS
fGood Strain of Breed With Good
Care and Fed Ration Given Here
with VIII Prove Profitable.

By ]. H. ELSTON, Caldwell, Idaho.)
The man or woman who has de-
,cided to go into the poultry business
will make no mistake in selecting the
Single Comb White Leghorn, es-
pecially if he wishes to follow the
branch devoted to egg farming, with
the sale Of breeding stock and eggs
FOR Matching.
There is decided difference in
White Leghorns. Those that are
-line-bred for exhibition purposes only,
are seldom the large, hardy, persist
,ent layers as those selected and bred
for egg production, but standard
qualifications need not and should not
be neglected even if our aim is a
greater production of eggs.
In securing eggs when prices are
high, the housing and feeding plays
an important part. We should have
good warm houses with plenty of
fresh air, with plenty of room for
exercise, as busy hen Is the one that
fills the egg basket. They are mex
:pensive, three sides and roof covered

Spread Of Contaqion.

Drinking water in poultry houses
Is one cause of the rapid spread Of
contagious diseases, such as roup. An
affected hen when she places her beak
in the water to get a drink, contami-
mates all the water. Then, when
healthy hens drink from this water
supply they become exposed to what
ever disease the sick hen has. Thus.
when one fowl contracts a contagt
GUS disease it generally is but a COM
paratively short time until there Is a
general outbreak of the affection, un-
less precautions are taken.

Next Objective Point.

Apparently the next objective point Tor
short spectators In Steel Is the report OF
earnings for the first quarter or the year
which will be published on Apr'' ~ or u
,yosk from next Tuesday, when the divl-
dends will also be declared. According
10 the usual early estimate these earnings
viii be between sl7ooO,00o and $4,000
Gao. The total for the first quarter OF
1918 was about s37,00o,oo0. so that the
expectation is for earnings OF about half
of those of last year. Although II ~
hardly reasonable to anticipate that the
steel trade will show no Improvement
from now on It is pointed out that II con
tlnued at the same ratio throughout the
rest OF tho year earnings would be the
smallest in the history OF the corpora
ton. That is an interesting " not very
important fact. But 1t indicates perhaps
a tendency to seize upon the unfavorable
extreme that is more or less typical OF
financial comment just now.

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
A Kick Back.

In the early market one incident stood
out prominently. and that was the action
of Reading This stock sold down to
new low record and stayed there. 1t
failed to make the least recovery. That
Is highly unusual performance for
Reading. which has an invariable habit
OF swapping back sharply even II the
downward course Is subsequently re-
sumcd. The point was considered sig
n!ficant as marking supreme confidence
on the part OF spectators for the decline.
The midday break which followed was
something new. II began with vicious
drive against Lehigh Valley and New
York Central. as many such operations
have begun before. Instead of stocks
being merely supplied freely when any
tendency toward firmness was exhibited
they were forced upon the market with the
evident intention Of getting prices as low
as possible. In other words the pressure
bore the appearance Of short selling pure
and simple rather than OF liquidation
supplemented by short selling. The re-
suit WAS thoroughly unsettled market.
There was more general weakness at this
time and the fall was more violent than
during the previous decline. II was no.
ticeable. however. that Steel. which
started the present downward movement.
was relatively firm. The fall was short
lived and the rally and the recovery was
the most important that has occurred in a
fortnight. Steel came back Ia points
and for the first time in seven days closed
at net gain.

ket Several large interests appear to
have reversed their position recently. or at

hard to follow. There Ii much doubt re-

for q time was aggresslvely bearish on

deal of its commitments. and at one time
was thought to be long Of tho market.
