Speeches" by Mir. McCabe.

Alderman William (Juicy Balder- dash) McCabe objected to the report of the board of compensation and as sessm ent on the laying of a sewer in cemetery lane. He could not under
 stand why the sewer was built past
 land owned by the estate of James
 McCabe as it was not ordered built there. He understood that the board of health wanted it constructed but as
 far as he could see it was not neces-
 sary. He wanted the report held up. Alderman Kerwin and City Engi- neer Hall replied that the sewer was already built
 Corporation Counsel Cooper was asked for a statement but he was not prepared to make one.
 Alderman McCabe made anoth CT speech in support of his objection. He wanted to speak for third time but was ruled out of order.

WEEKLY COTTON REVIEW

NEW ORLEANS, April 25.-The adj
vance in cotton was carried 10 new
high season levels last week against
considerable opposition and "A great
amount of liquida ton. Much capital
was made OF the growing feeling of
optimism in the large markets in the
country. and the continued improve
mcnt in general business. The high
est levels were reached Friday, when
the trading months were 81 to 81
points over last weeks final figures
The close was net gain of TO Is
points.
Crop news was more favorable than
otherwise. Floods in Texas were the
only unfavorablc feature, and they
resulted in a rise TO new high levels
Tor the season. 1t became evident tina e
the market was much more susceptible
TO unfavorable than to favorable crop
news.
This weeks weather conditions will
be watched very closely, and any
change Will have immediate and
mark cd effect on prices. The question
OF acreage may not attract as much
attention as heretofore. and il has be-
come generally accepted that there
VIII be only a moderate decrease. The
tcchnica! position OF the ,oarkc. vii,
come in for close study. Any signs of

feeders fail to take this important item
into account overlooking the fact that
they must feed the COW While she is

The calves should lie allowed to suck lie

10 keep what is known as calf fat:
that Is, the natural fat which is on their
bodies when born, and they must be
taught to eat grain as soon as possible.
This should be in the form of oats and
corn ground, and if fed with one half
bran the ration is an excellent one.
II Is mistake to feed very young
calves cottonseed meal, as 1t is too
strong for their digestive organs and
is liable TO upset them and prevent
them from laying on fat.

VISIBLE WHEAT SUPPLY
WILL SHOW DECREASE
fo-DnE's Figures Expected to Bring

CHICAGO. April 25.-The visible sum

large decrease tomorrow. Wheat sup

North America. and especially in the
United States. were purchased by Great
Britain and other importing countries
some time since. When the purchases
or this wheat were made prices wero
much higher than those now ruling, and
the American farmer. as well as the
American elevator and cash wheat
handler. secured handsome profits out
OF the transactions.
According to some OF the best adviccs
from across the waters the war abroad
Is likely to continue anywhere from
one year to eighteen months. One of the
largest milling journals In England and
4 grain journal in France volunteer the
opinion that the allies will be success
full in the present war, and that there
Will be n continuation of the good buy
ing of breadstuffs during the next two
or three Years
The official exports OF breadstuffs for
March were l.63i.S24 barrels of flour
compared with 769,24S barrels in March,
1914. The exports OF wheat during
March were 2o.534,9S2 bushels. COM
pared with 3.456,395 bushels for March
of 1914. The wheat and -four. as wheat
totals 2S.l15.340 bushels. while u year

the nine months ending April /. the ex-
ports OF wheat and -four rs wheat were
2GS. o2S,145 bushels. For the correspond
ing time last year the total was l1G, 049,-
SOS bushels.
Those who are arrayed on the bear
side of the wheat market believe there
will he a sensational price setback in
values as soon the new crop COM
mences to move. and that this movement
Will be earlier than usual. especially in
the far South. One old-time bear on
the Board OF Trade volunteered tho
opinion on Saturday that September
wheat Will break anywhere from 20 to
80 cents bushel.
Western receipts OF corn last week
We're 3.336.oo0 bushels. compared with
l 5000 bushels for the corresponding
time last year. From November to
date receipts OF Western points were
l62.25S.o0o bushels. compared with 1885,
$4,000 bushels for tho same time last
year.
Oats were without any great strength
and there is no pronounced weakness to
be shown.

tinues slow and may be called feature

"BEST" BREED OF POULTRY
ny r. a. NEIIco>,r

Which is the best breed of fowls?
is one of the popular and continually
reiterated queries. If we look to ex-
pcrienced poultry keepers for our an
swer we often tind them so pre- JUDGED
against breeds that they do not handle
and so biased in favor OF those they
prefer that their evidence only makes
our confusion more complete.
II We examine the matter in the light
Of pure logic We nnd that the most pop
ular breeds and varieties of chickens
are so universally bred by all types Of
poultry keepers that ever were one sort
better than another il would require a
wiser expert than the world has yet
produced TO point it out and prove
his case
saw the other day this statement
"LcEhorns are universally admitted TO
he better layers than any other breed. =
Even II that statement be true IL
proves nothing as 10 the relative laying
abilities OF LcghornS and other breeds
sometimes Lcghorns do not lay well
When that is the case the reason for
their failure is likely to be the same
as those that cause specimens OF other
breeds TO lay poorIy-and there are
many reasons for poor laying that have
nothing AT all TO do with the breed as
such.

SOME SAY lT PAYS
TO "HOG OFF" CORN

In these times when hired help is
often not to be had and corn must stand
in the field, the farmer always can bring
his hogs 10 his aid in taking care OF IL.
Many farmers yearly practice hog
ging OF the corn. and some OF them say
it pays An Ohio farmer turned l22
spring pigs and older hogs into II ten
acre corn field In September. The spring
pigs averaged eiEhty-two pounds. and
the older hogs l5s pounds. and the total
weight OF all was 1888 pounds.
The corn would yield about sixty
bushels an acre. and in Il there were a
good many pumpkins The hogs had
access also TO a tvc-acrc clover field
from which the seed had been removed.
Water was hauled to them and they
had the shade OF the woods nearby.
In twenty-eisht days the hogs had
gained G,522 pounds. Al this time fifty
seven head. averaging 245 pounds. were
sold "A, S3.la per hundred Tie remain
der were not sold. but tho farmer was
offered 81 per hundred for them
Counting the entire gain OF coz
pounds a So would make S$so.ln. or
s3o.6l per acre for the field This paid
50 cents a hushel for the corn. which.
on the market, was worth 40 cents. Ihe
whole herd made an average daily gam
OF lal pounds per head.

Allowing 100 pounds gain for each

4 farmer in Nebraska has been hog

About 500 head OF hogs are turned OF
his farm every year. BY gathering and
feeding corn, besides that which was
gathered by tho hogs. it was found that
a bushel OF corn 'hogged down will
make as much pork as the same GUAM
f!ty huskcd and fed. while the expense
OF harvesting Is saved.
An Iowa farmer says that in his first
years experience he snapped twenty
acres OF corn beside the field "hoGsed

were sown 70 small grain under the
same conditions and with the same
urenaration ON the land where corn
was "hoggcd down the wheat made
five and the oats seven bushels more TO
the acre than did the other. The diff
ference is just as noticeable in a sue
