SELLING PRESSURE
HEAVY ON WHEAT
Export Trade Hampered by
Sinking of Foreign
f Vessels

Chicago, August H.-Selling pressure
was heavy on wheat today owing in the
main to difficulties that were namper'ng
export trade. The close was nervous, IL
Q2N@2jhc net lower, with September at
81 02Ss and December at $1.o0A41.ooss Corn
finished Adx@%@1c down; oats off ss@
ssc and provisions varying from 10c de-
cline to a rise Of DC.
Conditions resulting from the sinking OF
boats and the Generalization of exchanges
appeared to have reduced to nearly the
vanishing point all immediate chance OF
any important export business in wheat.
This fact, with signs of an augmented
shipping movement to primary terminals
both in the northwest and the southwest,
brought about decided rush here to
dispose of holdings. Meanwhile the only
buying worth mention was confined to
shorts who wished to even up for the
weekend.
Rains in Illinois and the Ohio valley
gave the wheat market momentary show
of strength at the outset but otherwise
DEVELOPMENTS proved almost UNANIMOUSLY
adverse to the bulls. AS matter of fact,
good many traders were disposed to
regard further storm damage to the WIN
ter crop as being a factor on the bear
side. Excessive moisture was said to be
making the quality of winter wheat on
the whole too greatly inferior as COM
pared with Manitobas. which were said
to have been offered east at lower figures
than could be met from Chicago.
Increased rural offerings had a de-
pressing effect on corn. Unreasonable
weather appeared temporarily to have
lost influence as a prop for the market.
Oats could not withstand the declines In
corn and wheat Threshing delays were
altogether lost sight of during the iast
half of the season.
Packers buying put little firmness
into lard and ribs. Pork. however, lacked
support and showed noticeable tendency
to sag.

Old English Horse Breeding

From the London Chronicle.
English horse breeding. now in need of
Improvement. had much exalter encour-
agement in earlier days. Henry VIII, in
particular, took the horse under his care.
and imported largely from Turkey, Naples
and Spain to improve the royal stud And
he took good care that his subjects should
follow his lead No horse under certain
size was allowed to Craze or any conf
mon, and all commons were driven an
nually and the unpromising colts killed
off. And every owner of Enclosed land
had to do some horse breeding in proper
ton to the extent of his lands.

that have made good average records.
eggs from the hen that has made the
highest record do not usually hatch as
we'll or produce as strong and vigorous
chicks as those from hens whose pro-
duction Is only slightly above the aver
age.
The most important thing in breed
ing Is never to use birds that have been
sick or stunted In growth. In order
to avoid this 1t is well to Gull out
constantly any slow growing young
sters as we'll as any that are sick, and
put them in pen by themselves or
market them, so they will never be
used later for breeding stock. OFTEN a
slow growing or slow feathering bird
Will develop and look practically as
good as those that grow and feather
quickly. Yet such bird is lacking
in stamina, and will produce weakly
chicks and females that will not show
the highest egg production.
Begin by Selecting Eggs
Selection becomes an important
problem for every poultry grower. 1t
is not a matter of selecting right at
the time the males and females are
rut together, or mated up" as 1t Is
called. but the selection should be made
from the time the eggs are placed into
the incubator
Only choice, even eggs should be
used. Eggs that show weak germ
on the fourteenth day should be re-
moved from the machine. All chicks
that do not hatch by the twenty first
CAV should be destroyed, while, all the
crippled and defective ones should be
done away with. 1t may look as IL
some of them might be saved, but
they are only an incumbrance to the
flock and will not give high enough
average when it comes to egg produce
| ton.
| Many poultry establishments nave
made the mistake of Matching from
all kinds of eggs, keeping : II the
chicks that are hatched and afterward
II FEEDING from them Unfortunately.
IL the percentage of weakly chicks
lis heavy and the poultry raiser wishes
to convince himself that 1T Will not
pay to keep these Weddings, he should
keep the healthy and weakly birds
separately and then give both groups
the same treatment and feed. He Will
soon find that the heavier death rate
will be among the weakly chicks ana
by far the larger proportion OF culls
will come out of this weak group. He
will find later on, too, that the pullets
that come out of this weak group VIII
not begin to lay as early as the others,
nor will they make as good an aver
age egg production throughout the
year. They will also lay larger per-
centage of small eggs that Will not

ROSE COMB WHITE ORPINGTONS

The Orpington breed has come into
popular favor within the last few
years. 1t was originated by the late
William Cook of England who pro-
duced both single and rose comb va
rieties.
The rose comb whites were the first
ose comb variety produced. They
bear considerable resemblance to the
Rose Comb White Dorkings, which
We're used in their development. Mr..
Cook felt that a rose comb variety
would be desirable in sections where
the winters are so severe that single
combs might be frozen. The single
comb varieties lead in popularity. but
the variety illustrated has attained ia
