Strong Domestic Influences.

Activity in the steel industry and
improvement in general trade, together
with the promising crop outlook. con-
stitute the strongest fundamental fea-
lures of the domestic situation.
Highest prices of recent years are
being received for many of the prod
ucts of the steel mills. and the recent
course of United States Steel implies
a very satisfactory exhibit for the third
quarter of the year. Railroad state
ments continue variable, many showing
marked gains in gross. but Indifferent
net returns.

Method of Feeding.

The feeding practice which the boys
used consisted of keeping before the
birds at all times dry mash and CIV
grain in litter every morning and
night. dry mash hopper was pur-
chased and a ration containing equal
parts of wheat bran, wheat middlings
ground oats, corn meal and gluten
meal. together with 10 per cent of meat
scrap, was fed.
In the morning about Z o'clock the
birds were given about " pounds of
wheat. and usually about 4 o'clock, as
soon as school was over, two to three
pounds of a mixture of half wheat and
half corn was scattered in the litter
of straw and leaves, which was al
ways kept thick and coarse over the
entire floor.
Plenty of clean water was kept be-
fore the birds and they were fed all
the green grass and sprouted oats
that they would clean up quickly
Scraps from the table were fed also,
and made it possible to cut down at
times on the grains.
Asher kept the records and handled
the accounts, while Henry collected
the eggs and made most of the de-
Hveries to customers. Both boys at
tended to the feeding and the care of
the yard and house
All Of the eggs which were Used by
the family were paid for at regular
store prices. Considerable trade was
built up in the immediate neighbor-
hood, as the community knew of the
boys project and was eager to get
first-class eggs, strictly fresh, at a
most reaSona BILE price

Total expenses

Subtracting this amount from the
gross returns of $95.03, the boys cleared
a net profit for the year Of $22.06. or q
little more than 81 per bird.
These are excellent results, and some
what exceptional. but they will serve
to give some idea of what Is possible

Speculative Market Shows
the Effects of Reaction

NEW YORK, October 16.-That the re-
cent reckless speculation in stocks has
run its course for a time was the most
natural inference drawn from this week s
comparatively dull and reactionary mar
ket. The many admonitions and warn
ings issued from high quarters exercised
restraining influence, quite apart from
other developments. such as the European
situation, which now is at stage to
make for greater caution in speculative
ventures.
There were indications before the week
began that substantial interests had
Iquidated in large part, especially in
those specialties which had made great
est advances. 1t also was evident that
speculation in those issues had reached
the point of over-extension and financial
institutions as a whole were showing
more care in safeguarding their reserves.

high-grade securities also was observed,
but this condition was ascribed to prepar-

Asher Allison and his brother Henry
wanted to earn money Of their own, SO
last year they proposed to their faith
er that he help them to start keeping
poultry. The boys. one fifteen and the
other twelve years old, under the guild
ance of their father and with the help
of many circulars and bulletins which
they received from the New Jersey
a Inarked success.
1t was about the middle of July,
1914, that Asher made a small plan of
the poultry house which he wanted to
build and sent it to the experiment sta :
ton for suggestions. The plan was
looked over and list of the material
needed in building it was forwarded.
together with a few minor criticisms.
The lumber cost $14. and the boys
built small shed roof house eight
feet wide by ten feet deep. They put
a large muslin curtain in the center
and glass sash in the west end of
the house to let in sunlight and to
give plenty of fresh air. The house
was built on posts, the floor being
two feet above the ground. small
yard, ten by twenty feet, was built
of ordinary poultry netting at small
cost.
Upon the completion of the house the
boys visited a farmer. about a mile
from the small city where they lived,
and after explaining their plan, bought
from him eighteen Barred Plymouth
Rock pullets. which were nearly ma
ture, at cost of 20 cents each. These
were placed in the house on July rs,
and on August l the boys began to
keep an accurate record of what they
fed to the birds and the eggs laid.

FINANCES AND MARKETS
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH


 NEW YORK, June 11.-Stocks rose vigorously on the largest demand wit messed since Friday when the market was buoyant over the decision in favor of the steel corporation. The financial community was disposed to draw most favorable inferences from Washington S latest communication to Berlin, the tone being considered conciliatory and decidedly at variance with unofficial forecasts. The rise began at the open ing but was largely obliterated by heavy profit taking. Early in the af- ternoon a fresh and more sustained movement lifted the market to higher prices with coppers and a few more volatile specialties leading. Federal mining common. and preferred rose from eight to almost ten points. while American Smelling gained five points. War shares lost some of the recent prominence in point of activity, but advanced from two to five points. Bethlehem Steel attaining a new rec ord of 16915.
