STOCK MARKET

New York, June 1-Opening-Th point of view regarding Germany's reply to this government was reflect ed in number of sharp recessions on the resumption of operations to- day. Losses ran from 1 to points, was speciaIties naturally scoring greatest declines, but standard rail- ways fell to 1-2 points. All the trading was in moderate amounts, with no indication of urgent nqufda- ton. There were fractional rallies after the first decline but these were succeeded by another setback, after which trading became dull
 Noon-Trading in the first hour barely totaIIed 100000 shares and in the second hour taRe market came to complete standstil1. Some of the war shares, like Westinghouse and Crucib1e Steel, recovered half of their early losses, but the movement as a whole was entirely without significance except in the case of Missouri Pacific, which steadied further in expectation of success of the extension plan. So indifferent was the list to routine news that the New Haven, on a single sale, failed to show any change from last weeks final quotation, despite action adverse to the company by the gover- nor of Massachusetts. Bonds were steady.

CHEAP MIXTURE FOR vERMIN
Formula Given by Pennsylvania State
Cotleae-should Be Kept on
Hand the Year Round.

While there are many ready-pre-
pared lice mixtures on the market,
none are more effective than a mix
ture recommended by Pennsylvania
State college. II may be made at
home and is cheap.
The formula is: Two and one-half
pounds OF plaster or paris, three-ouar-
ters OF a pint OF gasoline, one-fourth
OF pint OF crude carbolic acid. When
the ingredients are mixed, one will
have an effective lice powder that
costs less than FIVE cents a pound. The
mixture should be worked through a
fine sieve, to break up Jumps and to
get in such form that 1t will sift read
lily.
When II Is first mixed II will be too
wet to sift, but the gasoline will soon
evaporate. The active principle in
driving away the lice is the carbolic
acid. 10 use the homemade prepare
ton, which should be kept on hand
the year around, one sifts It over the
birds the'same as any other lice pow
der.

Bleaching Linen.

The linens of olden days were handed
down from mother to daughter, but
such is far from being the case to-day,
owing to the difference in bleaching.
Where formerly 1t took months Of
sunshine and rain to bring about the
desired whiteness, now It is done in
two or three days by means Of strong
mineral gases whose fumes bleach, ac.
cording to their strength, more or less
quickly. So 1t is not poor idea to
buy linen which is not yet bleached
white, as a few trips to the laundry
will remedy this, and in addition II is
cheaper, for the bleaching process is
costly one. Then, too, the use OF
tablecloths and sheets would be
heightened, appreciably, since over.
bleaching rots the fbers. This is why
blouses seem to melt away in spots.
The Beaver herald. [volume] (Beaver, O.T. [Okla.]) 1895-1923, 1915-12-02

Sunshine is absolutely necessary
for the health and vigor OF the laying
hen. Low windows should be set so
that the sun will shine into every part
OF the house during some part of the
day. Roosts should be placed on a
level and not too high, as the hens
are apt to injure themselves either
by crowding, falling or flying against
projection about the house. Keep
the windows in the poultry house
clean. Rub them repeatedly with old
newspapers. Sunshine is the greatest
OF tonics.
Poultry keepers may easily reduce
the percentage of dirty or soiled eggs
and losses entailed to insignificant fig
ures.
First, an ample number of nests is,
OF course, necessary, but an ample
number means no more than, and prob
ably not as many. as are usually di-
rected by poultry writer's. Laying
houses are, as rule. provided with
sufficient number. but where the
keeper falls down is in failing TO sup
ply enough nesting material and floor
litter.

PULLETS FOR WINTER LAYERS
Advisable to Select Those That Have
Grown Rapidly-Hen In Action
Needs Lots Of Room.

In selecting pullets for this winters
layers, 1t is advisable to choose those
birds that have grown rapidly and
we'll and those that show quality, as
indicated by a soft, pliable skin over
the breast bone and abdominal cavity.
In addition to these two considera-
tions quality is further indicated by
the texture OF the head parts. The
comb and wattles should not only be
well developed but should have a nice,
smooth, velvety texture. A fourth coll
sideration in selecting the prospective
layer is that of capacity. A hen in ac-
tion needs lots of room, that is to say.
room for the digestive and reproduc-
tive organs. Such capacity is indicat-
ed by good width between the pelvic
bones and also good width between
these and the rear end of the keel.
