POULTRY
FATS
WHITE WYANDoTTES IN FAVOR
One Of the Most Important Things for
Beginner is Selection Of Breed
Seven Good characteristics.
(By JoHN g. LYsTER.l

(By JOHN c. LYSTER)
When a beginner starts a poultry
plant, large or small, one of the most
important things for him to consider
is the breed he wants.
If after eggs only it would be pol
icy for him to select one of the Med
iterranean breeds, such as the Leg
horn. If he desires to market ma
ture birds he should keep meat breed
like the Cornish or the Brahma. If
a general purpose fowl is his aim he
must select the White Wyandotte for
the following reasons:
First. AS layers this breed has
proved its superiority to all others, as
shown in three recent laying compe-
titions, when the grand average for
White Wyandottes was 100 eggs in
one year--a far better record than
that of the Leghorns or the Reds.
Second. White Wyandotte eggs are
large and brown, an advantage that is
of great Importance in the markets
of my vicinity.
Third. The chicks are hardy and
grow to broiler size quicker than any

He asks for advice, and the editor answers:
 Tt might be wiser to stay in In diana than to go either place. There are no good homesteads left in the United States. and lands selling at from s1 50 to $500 per acre must have something the matter with them. All things considered, they are probably no cheaper than Indiana land at it's selling price. If cheap lands are not paid for in money they must be paid for in labor and hardship if they are productive lands. The thing tc decide is.

GERMAN MONOPOLY
 HAS BEEN BROKEN UP
New Explosive Material Now Coming
 from Coke Plants

SHARON, Pa, July 30.-The German corner in benzol, the most necessary and most scarce material for the man ufacture of high explosives, has been broken by the new plant now in opera ton by the Carnegie, Steel company The plant here has been in operation for two weeks, and will be running to full capacity on Monday. It is the first large benzol plant now in operation in the United States, and it's capacity will supply the normal needs of the United States A large amount of crude ben zol has been made, and this will under go the process of rectificatiOn, begin ming next week, when the finished ben zol and several by-products will be made.
 Not only did Germany have world control of benZol before the opening of the big -million-d dollar plant here. but in order to hasten the completion of this plant it was necessary to re- move the Germans from the work of erecting it. The German firm of con tractors. it was claimed, delayed the work in the interest of the German em- pire.
 To Germany's shrewd foresight in practically controlling all the coke plants in the world, by inventorying those which she did not actually pos sess. is assigned by experts her abil- ity to continue the war and the super iority of her artillery fire
 c. B. Leighton. a capitalist and a delver into international commercial trans actions of large size, recently ex- plained that from the coke ovens is obtained benZol and picric acid "One of Gernany's reasons" he said for laying hands on Belgium and northern France was the known presence there of good many coke plants. There are q few in England, one in Russia, and probably a half hundred in Germany. Her control of the base for explosives was one of the vital methods of pre- paration which enabled her to continue the war
 ''The allies, though many sympathize with them, had not the foresight to provide for this important part of the strife. Here in the United States are about IS coke plants.

FINANCES AND MARKETS
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1spArcH1

NEW YORK, July 3o.-Trading in the stock market today was charac- terized by less eXtravagant specula- tion in war issues. Yesterdays ViO- lent reaction caused traders to pro ceed more cautiously and the outside demand fell off For the most part they held under the high records made yesterday but they did retain greater part of the recent large gains. The volume of business was diminished from the exceptional figures of the two preceding days amounting to s5O0OO shares.
 At the opening efforts to resume the upward movement met with tenn porary success. On the early rise there were gains of points in Beth lehem Steel. S1a in Crucible Steel 9 in American Coal Products, and three or four points in Republic Steel. Allis Chalmers Westinghouse Electric and others. The changed at titude toward these shares. however, was shown quickly. Large offerings were made at the highest figures and there was d reaction. Thereafter the
