profits, per ratio to the number of fowls, is considerably smaller.
 When the flock grows too large for its quarters it is well to remember that the increase was made while they were housed in the back yard and that they were receiving personal attention from several members of the family and at the same time, in the majority of in- stances, the head of the house was re- ceiving a steady income from some other occupation.
 If a progressive increase is to be made consider well before cutting off the reg ular income. By moving into the coun- try on a small farm there will be another period of hard work where it will re- quire patience and perseverance. Either the business in the city will suffer or there must be some member of the fam fly who will give personal attention to. the flock and baby chicks.
 There are numerous instances where. on a small rented farm, there has been successful poultry plant estaulisl.cd and comfortable living made. In addition to q comfortable living there is still greater asset acquired and that is q heal thy constitution.
 By steady increase In the flocSs and a gradual learning of the industry there are few rural occupations which offer such lucrative returns as poultry keep ing, but 1t must ever be borne in mind

GOTTEN Is STEADY AT 3PO|NTS GAIN Liverpool Cables Cause Gov ering at Opening of
 Session

New York. April 2i.-Cotton was quiet today and business seemed to be largely in the way of evening up commitments for over the weekend with the close steady, net 8 points lower to points higher
 Relatively steady Liverpool cables and optimistic reviews of the dry goods sit uation caused some scattering covering at the start and the market opened at an advance of to I points
 Active months sold up another point or two right after the call, but re- ports Of improving weather conditions optimistic view of early peace prospects in Europe. appeared to promote renewed realizing or liquidation. and prices soon eased off. Trading became less active on scale down, and after showing a net loss of about to 6 points prices rallied slightly from the lowest on cov- ering. New Orleans was a moderate sell CT here during the morning, but busi- ness seemed to be chiefly local and the offerings were believed to be mostly in the way of commission house liquidation. Sales of print cloths at Fall River were heavy during. the past week and the estimated business for the last four weeks has aggregated 9s5,0O0 pieces, compared with about 100000 pieces last year. The satisfactory sales and large attendance of buyers at the auction sales of car- pets here during the week were also generally commented upon as indicating the improving condition of trade and probably encouraged some of the scat tered buying noted during the morning. Next Tuesday will be the first notice day for May contracts There will be meeting of the members of the ex- change at noon Monday to act upon proposed amendments to the by-laws re- lating to deliveries.

UNKNOWN STRENGTH. IS FOUND IN STOCKS.
Close Is Almost BuOyant Under United States
 Steel Lead

New York. April 24.-The stock market developed unlocked for strength in the latter half of today's short session, closing with an almost buoyant tone under tre lead of United States Steel. That stock beeCzs the dominant feature gaining ? points to the accompaniment or rumors that the case of the government against the company would soon be decided on reasonable terms.
 In the early part of the session leading shares were more or less neglected, n- terest again shifting to war issues. the metal shares and Mexican petroleum. Coppers held their prominence throughcut a few of the low priced issues making new price records Mexican petroleum also broke all records, making a net gain of 44 points on confirmation of the report that the company had entered into a very advantageous selling agreement with lead Ing British interests.
 Reading, Union Pacific, St. Paul and other stocks in the investment class shared in the later movement. Stocks of the roads coming within the category of reorganized properties were under pres sure, as also were some of the isolated in dustrials. Fractions gave early promise of greater strength, but soon relinquished initial advances.
 Announcement of the proposed suit against the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad by Morris, and Essex shareholders was not made until after the close of the market. Other news of the day, including irregularity the London market. made no impression upon the local situation.
 The bank statement showed an unex- Iectedly large cash gain which was re- hected in a reserve increase of $l3,00O, 9o0 Loans expanded by little over sl0,0Of co an inconsiderable amount, considering the heavy stock trading of the week.
 Bonds were mainly irregular, total safes, par value, aggregating 8, e5o,0O0.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call during the week.

Praise for the Dear Departed

From the Popular Magazine.
 Uncle Cy was 96 syears old when he died. He had made a lot of money, and had devoted his entire life to a spec tacular and desperate system of never letting go of nickel. His reputation as a tightwad and a skinflint was so gorgeous and brilliant that it's effulgence lit up all New England and cast a pow erful glow as far south as Tennessee and as far west as Minnesota. When 1t came to stinginess he was the orig iral gold medal old guy.
 At last he died. and the family spat- tered around a lot of money to pay for his funeral and to lay him out in state On such occasions in New England it is customary for everybody to say some- thing nice about the dear departed. This time. however, the neighbors merely looked on in silence.
 At last an old man in whose veins the milk of human kindness rippled and pumped and roared. took his stand beside the casket and lifted up his voice in a eulogy to Uncle Cy.
 ''Cys gone now" he said. and I'll say this for him: He was always good at keeping his barn door shut"

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York April A-(SpecaI.) )--Whils Liverpool was steadier than expected. our market did not show any decided strength. transactions were upon a very limited scale and fluctuations within narrow range, rapid as a result of the small trad ing. Although the local sentiment is against the market, we think the short in- terest Is small, as the market has slowly advanced during the past four months Because 1t has advanced the cotton trade is against 1t, believing the demand for cot ton will not sustain 1t and yet we see on every hand improving business. an extra ordinary use of cotton for war materials and new fashions which call for a large increase m the yardage of goods. These factors are independent of any regarding the new crop.

PRICE MOVEMENTS IN COTTON NARROW The Close at New Orleans Unchanged to Two
 Points Up

New Orleans. April 2S.-Price move ments in the cotton market today were narrow. In the early trading there was an advance of to : points. in response to better Liverpool cables than due, but profit taking by longs met the better prices and caused a small break. Late in the morning the trading months were 2 to points under the final figures of yes- terday. The close was unchanged to 2 points up compared with yesterdays $ close. The continued rains in Texas and un- certainty over weather conditions for the next day or two had steady inning eff feet, although no great amount of buying was stimulated. In some quarters it was thought that the approach of the first notice days for May was against the market and was causing part, at least, of the selling out on the long side
 The unfavorable features of the week end statistics caused much bearish com ment.

BUCKE YE REDS

Tie deservediy popular Rhode Island Red has been with us for more than a half century, down in Rhode Island, where the breed originated and Is kept for purely utilitarian purposes. There Is still more or less annual introduction of new blood. Besides the use of Brown Leghorn males Dark Cornish were also used and the Rhode Island Red flocks showed many specimens with pea combs. Some of this stock was either transplant ed to Ohio in the early days of the Rhode Island Red boom. or the same crosses were made in that state and produced what was ultimately to be known as the Buckeye Reds At any rate their origin ator, Mrs. Frank Metealf. whs not above securing some pea comb R. l.

Rather than risk the, operation Of an incubator or take the trouble to learn how to operate one, many poutrymen prefer to buy day-old chicks and raise them. Hence there has grown up quite a thriving in- dustry.
