Feed sparingly at the Start.

Poultry should be starved twenty
four to thirty-six hours before being
given the fattening ration, and should
be fed sparingly the first few days. The
ration is increased gradually until they
have all they will clean up in about
fifteen to twenty minutes twice day.
The first feed is given as early in the
morning as they can see to eat, and the
last as late at night as they can see to
clean up the feed in good shape. Feed
ings should be at the same hours each
day, as irregular feeding lessons the
appetite. If the birds have more for a
meal or two than they can digest, they
lose appetite and lose weight Care
should be taken to keep up good ap-

Cost of Gain Under Cents Per LIB.
In 1911 fattening experiments were
carried on at four of the government
experiment stations with nearly $4,000
| fowls, and the results were published
by the United States Department of
Agriculture. at Washington, D. C., in
Bulletin No 81, which can be obtained

Not Realized by Investors.

The latter is phase OF the nnanclal
situation which few investors have as
yet realized. Many people are dis
tinctly unaware 81 the fact that in ad
dition to the allies credit loan, Amer
lean capital has been placed at the dis
posal of the governments of Canada,
Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Germany,
Italy and Russia, as we'll as to a num-
Der of the South American republics.
This is a novel experience for the peo-
pie of this country, but one which
should prove very beneficial. In addl-
ton to providing new avenues for the
employment of American capital, it will
be the strongest incentive to a more
complete understanding of the customs
and business methods of our new debt
ors. 1t is stated that the total amount
of our new credits to ten foreign ma
lions is over sS25. 100000, in addition to
which we have purchased billion dol
lars worth of the American securities
which. prior to the outbreak of the
war, reposed in the strong boxes of for
eign investors. There are some who
claim that in addition to these, the
American people have, either in cash
payments or by commodity exports,
liquidated nearly one billion dollars
European creditors. One of the most
marvellous features of the present sea-
son is the ease with which sales of
American securities by European in
vestors are being absorbed here. The
liquidation will probably continue, in a
measure a least, during the entire war
period: but it is causing no apprehen-
sion and there is no reason to fear flu
ture disturbance from it.

Valued at Nearly 81 ,ooo, 900, 900.

A good portion of the securities re-
turned by Europe within the last year,
variously estimated at from $S00,0O0,-
900 to $1,000, 100000, has been taken by
the great life insurance companies and
other investment institutions. This
buying has been of the best and indi-
Gates that the securities will not come
upon the market again for months, if
not for years. 1t is believed in expert
banking circles that as soon as the
large war issues are out of the way
there will be new financing undertaken
on large scale for the railroad and in
dustrial companies. Arrangements to
that end have been under way for a
long time. The time would seem to be
oportune, as during the whole OF. next
year only s500,000,00O in corporate Sc
curitfes Will mature, as compared with

ready number of important indus
trial concerns, as well as prominent
municipalities, are making plans to
that end.
Investment bankers from the impor-
tant financial centers report that such
has been the demand for high-grade Sc
curities that in many instances it has
been found difficult to meet this demand
This refers particularly to railroad,
ity issues. The bond houses have ac-
cordingly turned their attention to
securing a good supply of moderate
sized blocks of various bonds to meet
the demand. thus giving the market "a
stronger tone and decidedly active
appearance. Special issues of bonds are
attracting much attention, both on the

Only a small proportion of poultry
is marketed in f1rst-class condition.
properly fattened. Yet the process of
conditioning poultry is so simple and
the increase in the quality and market
value makes the net profits so much
larger that there is no excuse for the
great quantity of poor ia BILE poultry to
be found. even in the best markets
A good buyer of choice stock looks
for round, plump bird that was dry
picked and not scalded. as the latter
process tends to harden the skin and
meat. Scalding also lessons the market
value, as it forces dirty water into the
carcass, giving it very undesirable
appearance, and takes out much of the
sweet flavor. Z
If the meat is soft and tender it will
be possible easily to pinch with the
thumb and forefinger entirely through
the large muscle in the wing. This is a
surer indication that the fowl is ten
der than is soft breastbone.
Three Ways of Fattening.
The best way to fatten poultry is to
restrict exercise and feed in one of
three ways: Machine, crate or pen.
While the machine method gives larger
profits. it is difficult to obtain the skilled
labor necessary to handle this class of
work, and it is not practical with small
fiocks. In machine feeding the oper-
ator inserts a rubber tube in the fowls
throat and presses lever which fills
the crop with a mixture of meal and
milk.
Pen fattening is best for turkeys, and
is satisfactory with young broilers. but
the most popular method is crate feed
ing. The crate is about-two feet square,
and has 4 bottom of Stats or one-half-
inch mesh wire cloth. A coop of this
size will hold six or eight mature birds,
or ten to twelve young ones. The coop
should be located in a cool, shady place
in hot weather and in warm, comfort
able room in cold weather

o. S. Steel Corporation Report.

The financial district in the early part
of the week awaited anxiously the
third quarterly report of the United
States Steel Corporation, which was
made public Tuesday afternoon.
Though disappointing to those who
have been predicting quarterly earn
ings of from $45.00O,OoO to $4,000, 900.
the record of the giant steel company
emphasizes the marvellous prosperity
that is now being enjoyed by the iron
and steel industry, which has earned
nearly s3a.0O0.00O net in the quarterly
period ending September 80. as COM
pared with S2S.00O,0O0 in the second
quarter of 1915, and $22,000.O00 in the
third quarter of 1914. After allowing
for fixed charges and the dividend on
the preferred stock, there was left a
surplus of over S1S.0O0,O an excep-
spect.
A strong sidelfght on the rising tide of
prosperity in the steel trade was the net
earnings for the month of September.
which amounted to $13,793,327; this is
the largest monthly total since May of
1913. In fact, the recovery in activity
and the increase in earnings of the
Steel Corporation in the past year have
been extraordinary. Probably never in
the history of the big corporation has
there been such remarkable transition
in it's earning power from comparative
poverty to prosperity as has been shown
since the first of the current year.
Whereas a year ago the income of the
Steel Corporation was on a sharply de-
clining scale as a result of the war, in
recent months it has been moved even
faster in the other direction for the same
reason. A veritable food of orders
for the steel that is going into am
munition- making and war orders. as
well as the Increased railroad and other
demands, has accounted for the phe
nomenal improvement. In the October
quarter of last year net earnings drop
ped to $22,276.O00 and the directors re-
duced the common stock dividend to a
per cent basis, compared with pre-
vious annual rate of per cent. At the
same time Judge Gray declared that
the step was necessary on account of
business conditions. In the December
quarter net earnings dropped to &c.
$685., the lowest in the history of
the corporation, whereupon the d.
rectors deemed 1t advisable to pass the
