Pumnkins Valuable Feed

From the Louisville Courier-J ourna'-
 Pumpkins, coming as they do at tim. of the year when grass begins to fail ant before grain feeding is commenced, can not be excelled as feed for cattle. The, have practically the same composition al. different roots and their feeding value fo' any kind of stock is practically the same writes w. F. Purdue in the Farm ant Home.
 Analysis shows that one ton of clovei hay has as much feeding value as sever tons of pumpkins When, however. pump lSins are fed in connection with clover hay or other like roughage. they have on ac. count of their succulence a greater feed ing value than the analysis indicates. 4 succulent feed added to the rations al ways enables animals to digest and assim Hate a little more dry matter. . Some feeders have the impression thai seeds should be removed from pumpkins; before feeding to dairy cows. SIS they be lieve the seeds have tendency to de crease the flow of milk. There is no wei grounded foundation for this belief. as tests have proved.
 When pumpkins are fed in excess, the seeds act injuriously on the kidneys, but where fed in moderation. no injurious re- suits need he feared. One to two medium' sized pumpkins at time twice q day ls sufficient for each COW.

PARIS RENAMES HER
 GERMAN STREETS
Demand That Words of Ger manic Origin Be Displaced
 by Present Heroes

Paris. October 2.--(Correspondence of the Associated Press s)-The disappear ance of Berlin" and "Germany'' as street names in Paris has not satisfied patriots. They continue insistent de- mands that all street names of Ger manic origin, even those of Wagner. GluolI, Beethoven and Mozart, give way to names, commemorating heroes or he- roic deeds of the war.
 Every propoistion for the changing of street name is referred to a com mtttee of the municipal council. Mon- sieur Ernest Gay, secretary of the com mittee, explains that the delay in ac- tion on different protestations Is not altogether due to a resistence to pro- posed changes, but to the necessity of deliberation in the choice of new names, Numerous as are the names that must be changed they are far outnum- bered by the heroes that must be honored.
 Heroes and celebrities of other days, like Turenne and Hugo. whose names are given to streets, avenues, boule- wards and squares may also find their honors encroached upon after the war in order to give a place to those who have distinguished themselves in the great European conflict.
 French law and custom both are op- posed to the cnofce or the names or a celebrity living or too recently dead for 8 street or 8 public place. Conse- quently the war will have been several years thing of the past before the new nomenclature has been finished. It occasionally happens that a municipal ity allows the enthusiast of the moment to get the better of custom in this re- spect Quite recently parliamentary commission making a tour of the for tified town of eastern France were as- tonished to see the name of Aristide Briand at the corner of village street, Monsieur Briand being very much alive, the parliamentarians made inquiries. It appeared that the town had rated the distinction to Monsieur Briand to honor his action in proposing a return to the three-year military service and thus strengthening the French army against the first shock. Monsieur Briand was himself the first to apply for suppress sion of the name. Imagine" he said, the impression upon my mind if l hap pened to visit & town where I am sup posed to be dead"

RAIL WAY STOCKS
 GAINING STRENGTH
Remarkable Earnings Re- ported by Statements
 Issued

New York, November 1.-Under the in fluence of further favorable trade con- ditions, as disclosed by some remarkable statements of railway earnings, many in vestment stocks ascended to higher quota tions today while specialties were dis posed to react. The heaviness of the lat ter issues was due in part to intimations that the allies had decided not to pay the higher prices demanded by American manufacturers of munitions and similar supplies.
 Railroads were the governing factor of the session, Canadian Pacific being the chief feature with maximum gain of Il to 194 or about 9 points above last weeks low price Canadians advance, which was partly shared by it's sub- sfdiaries, was attributed more to a driv- ing in of the short interest in that stock than to any actual developments in con- nection with the company's affairs, al though it's earnings show substantial im- provement' over the corresponding period of last year.
 Pennsylvania was another strong rail- rising PIE to 61Ac, more than recovering its quarterly dividend All the eastern lines as well as grangers and Pacifics averaged point or two higher, Fries supplementing their gains of the past fort IllgHl. some Q1VerSlOn was a1Orued Dy the strength and unusual activity of all the low priced southern and southwestern shares, led by Missouri Pacific.
 United States Steel rose fractionaiiy to SS3sc, new high level for the current movement, at the opening, but later lost this gain and considerably more, closing at Sic. Bethlehem Steel's weakness was the subject of some apprehension, the stock opening at 500, decline of 24zc, later falling to 450 one intermediate quotation showing a closs of 9 points Bethlehem's final price was 461.
 Studebaker, Baldwin Locomotive, Max wells and Crucible Steel were lower by 5 to 10 points, but Coppers were fairly steady. Utah rising over a point to the new record of "A. Closing prices were conflicting with an irregular undertone. Total sales aggregated 1,125,0O0 shares.
 Pennsylvania railroad made net gain of s1,562O00 on it's eastern lines in Sep tember, while the system west of Pitts burgh contributed $1,141,000, records ex- ceeded only twice in the roads history. New York Central reported a net gain of $1,735 900.
 Bonds were strong with higher quota tions for convertible issues. Total sales par value, amounted to $5,215,000.

DECLINE IN
 COTTON QUOTATIONS
Heavy Liquidation Causes Decline of $2 Per
 Bale

New York, November 1.-The cotton market sustained a severe decline to- day under a weight of southern selling and local liquidation. which sent prices off little more than s2 a bale. The opening was barely steady at a de- cline of to points following easier cables, and January soon dropped to 12c and March to 12.21c under increas- ing pressure from all quarters. The lowest prices of the day, however, were not reached until the early afternoon when January sold at 11.S0c and March at 12.01c. representing a drop of 42 to 4S points from Saturdays close and about 140 points from the high record of a few weeks ago
 The heavy volume of southern sell ing was a surprise to the trade here. It was evident that the very fine weather of the past week or so had raised private ideas as to crop pros poets and this with a lessened export inquiry doubtless had it's effect in bringing about the weakening of spots at a number of points in the south, which was one of the disturbing ele- ments in the market here
 wire from Temple, Tex. to the eff feet that spots were weakening and that the market would be flooded with offers If the decline continued was quite representative of the sort of news which arrived here during the day. Spinners bought but not so freely as last week, although there were some good orders reported in the market on a scale down from present prices.
 Liverpool was very weak, partly on hedge pressure and partly on increased estimates of the India crop, which re- suited in speculative selling from that quarter It was understood that Liver pool spot firms had bought quite freely In the southwest on Saturday and had hedged against it in the Liverpool mar ket today
