be selected now. The 19it bullets which have shown their ability to produce large numbers of eggs during the past six months and have continued to develop into strong. vigorous hens should be set aside for breeders
 Careful selection should be made of the rullets which have best withstood the effect of close confinement and heavy feeding of highly concentrated rations. These are the bullets which have proven their right to be selected as the parents of the future flock. They should be given special attention. The regular egg producing ration should not be cut off too suddenly, but the feeding should be arranged so that there will be a gradual reduction of concentrated, stimulating feeds with the substitution of complete diet of green foods.
 The prospective breeding flock should be removed to quarters where the birds have access 10 free range, absolute quiet, plenty of grass and clover and above all ample shade and an abundance of pure, cold water.
 If the change of environment and diet has been gradual there Is little danger of forcing the moult which is exhaustIng to the fowl.
 The male birds are much better when kept by themselves in runs where each bird may remain quiet and not annoyed by the others. The males must be kep'

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York. June 19.-All markets re- main at standstil with hardly a change in prices. The large visible supply which in another season might be in the invs- jble supply creates bearish feeling. while the growing knowledge of the increas sing consumption checks that temper. It is be- coming apparent that the boil weevil has renewed it's march eastward into new sec tons without attracting much attention. While general business is improving throughout the country speculation Is waiting, seemingly afraid of the possi- blity of foreign complications.

WHEAT MARKET nI nnrn IIAInTrlOsj ULUStS UNAAtHUT Absence of Foreign Demand Handicap Against the
 Bulls

Chicago, June 9.--Disappohltment re- garding the absence of foreign demand finally became too much of a handicap against the bulls today in wheat. Quota tions closed weak at the snme as last night to 1ac down. Corn showed a set back of lsc to lkN9sc. and oits of hm#c to ss@l3c. In provisions the outcome va ried from 2ihc decline to a rise of e1fc.
 Corn became heavy as a result of con- tinued purchasing of Argentine cargoes for delivery at New York,
 Oats gave way in sympathy with wheat and corn.

SILVER LACED POLISH

Silver Laced Polish fowls constitute one of the most beautiful varieties of poul- try, and many are bred In America, prin- cipaliy for ornament. although in Ger many. France and Italy its laying quail ties are highly esteemed.
 This variety has graceful, flowing lines, extraordinary crests and feathers in all sections that are white. narrowly edged with rich black. It is one of several va rieties of the same class, which include white crested black, white, golden laced and buff laced Polish. The white crested black is known on the continent of Flu rope as the Crested Dutch variety. 1t is smaller than the other varieties and never has beard, while the other Polish are larger in frame and are bred with both crests and boards.
 The Polish fowls have undoubtedly been used in the establishment of some of the noted French national breeds like the Houdans and Creve Cour. German paint ings of barnyards and rural scenes pie ture hens with crests, which illustrates

familiarity born of continuous and wide association with crested fowls.
 Silver Laced Polish hens lay exception ally well. although the eggs. which arc pearly white, are not large. They are non- -sitters and to hatch ants reare tho chicks other hens or artificial matching and breeding methods must be employed. The chicks are somewhat delicate at all stages. although they will grow well un- der favorable conditions, and with plenty of shelter from heavy rains. Their crests are large enough at all times to prevent the young fowls from seeing hawks, cats and other enemies: thus many losses arc due 10 these pests. The crests are also the cause of roup if the fowls are not kept thoroughly dry If caught out in the heavy storms and thoroughly drenched their wet crests will cause the fowls to get colds and roup.
 These fowls can be successfully reared only under favorable circumstances. They must be better cared for than almost any other variety.

many.

LONDON, Jan. Although little
official information is vouchsafed on
the subject, it is evident that military
movements of considerable import
ance are taking place in South Africa.
The task Of wrestling from Germany
her important colony of southwest At
RIGA is being left largely TO the home
forces of the British union of South
Africa, to which British colony the
German possessions will be added in
the event of a successful termination
of the war.
A dispatch from Pretoria states that
the union government has issued an
official communique announcing its
intention to commander men for ser
vice in German southwest Africa. The
cOmmunique states that the situation
cannot be met adequately with volLn-
teers.
Walfish bay the most important
port of German southwest Africa, was
reoccupied by the union forces on
Christmas day. There was no oppo-
SitiOn.

NEW YEAR WILL BRING
BOOM IN BUSINESS is
BELIEF IN SOUTH BEND

With the coming Of the new year
South Bend manufacturers, merchants
and other business men feel that any
depression that has been felt in the
past year from the effects of the war
on industrial conditions will begin to
fade and the trade will soon be given
a great impetus.
Local manufacturers say they have
already concrete evidences of the in
creased business activity. and in COM
menting on what depression has exist
ed say that ii has had a value in prov
ing the stability of local conditions.
South Bend with her exceptional va
riety OF interests as a manufacturing
center. and the wide market in which
she distributes her products, has
withstOod he shock in business caused
by the European war probably better
than any other city in the central sec
zion of the country. The greatest eff
feet was the laying off of many en-
ployes in the various factories. but it
is predicted that these corporations
will so adjust their affairs 20 meet the
that their regular forces will soon be
returned to their old places.
Reports from local retail stores in
dictate that the holiday trade has been
up to the normal ia volume and pro-
ceeds but that there has been "A fall
ing off IN the purchase of Injuries. In
fact stores in all parts of the country
report that Christmas presents of the
more staple kind were in demand
more than ever before. but that the
toys from the shops of American in
terests, were sCid in great quantities
as in the past.

SEVENTY-P0UND OSTRICH
FURNISHED DINNER FOR
MANY ON NEW YEARS

The baby ostrich who has been
serving as a window display at the
Kable restaurant for the past few
weeks, furnished the New Years din
ner for hundreds of the restaurants
customers Friday.
The history of the bird before it
was placed before the hungry diners
yesterday is an interesting one. 1t
was raised on a large ostrich farm at
Phoenix, Ariz., principally for the
value of his plumage. When this
article of adOrnment was ruled out by
the dictatOrs of fashion. it was Doom
ed TO death for the purpose of fur
nishing dinners for those epicureans
of South Bend who are always look
ing for the latest thing in eoibles.
When Il came time 10 prepare the
bird for the feast. il was found that
the Kable restaurant had no oven big
enough 10 hold it. and it was taken
TO one OF the large bakeries of the
city. where the job of roasting
was done TO perfection.
II weighed 20 pounds when dressed
and the stutting that was cooked with
fl weighed 100 pounds or more. This
was composed of three gallons of
oysters. eight pounds of butter. FIVE
pounds of gihlets a half pound of sea-
soning and 65 pounds Of bread.
Nobody was heard asking for a
dTumstick and a piece of the skin, rs
each leg of the bird weighed Il
pounds. while the skin was as tough
as that OF a horse.

WARM FIRE TOO
MUCH FOR LADS
Two Who Started Out on New
Years Day to See the World
Are Glad When Sent Back to
the Orphans Home.

Two boys at the Orphans Home
made resolutions New Years morning
to go out into the world and shift
for themselves leaving behind them
forever the institutions that cares for
them. They packed a suitcase, grasp
ed the first opportunity and slipped
away from the home.
They were without money but I'M
daunted in their purpose they started
to walk TO Fort Wayne where one of
the boys has friends. The suitcase
was heavy and the walking was diff
cult. Further still il was cold. They
road just east of NOtre Dame uni
versity
Hunger assailed the lads and they
stopped at a house. asking for some
thing TO eat. The lady of the house
took them in, gave them big dinner.
They were loath 10 leave the warm
fire. Being suspicious the woman tele-
phoned TO the police station and Off
Ger William Barnhart brought the
boys there.
They were Judson Hall, 10 years old
and John Smith, 16 years old. Au-
thorities at the Orphans home were
sent for and the lads were returned
to the institution. They did not OBJ
ject TO breaking their New Years reso-
luton but intimated that when warm
er weather arrived they would again
start out to find their fortunes. One
of the boys has left the Orphans home
at various times in the past but has
later been found and returned.
