trasts the advantages of such devices
over the natural method.
Before the development of modern
hovers and devices for brooding. the
hen was the sole dependence of the
poultry raiser for nothering the young
chicks. As a hen becomes broody
only when she wishes, and that wish
usually strikes her after she has laid
ont her batch of eggs in the late
Spring, il would mean that chicks
could he brooded only late in the
Spring IL we depended solely on her
Hence. because he could not select the
time when he would brood his chicks.
the poultry raiser in other days had
to allow the hen TO control his bust
ness. L meant in some unfavorable
seasons his hens brooded his chicks
so late that the young pullets did not
finish in time TO give any Fall and
winter eggs: the times of the year
when eggs are highest and most profits
are made in the poultry business. As
each hen could care for only a linn
tied number of chicks. the poultry
man who depended on hens to do his
brooding was of necessity limited in
the number of hens he carried. He
was put TO a heavy expense feeding
these hens while they brooded the fu-
ture flock. when these same hens
should have been laying eggs and
making a profit for him. 1t meant a
loss in feed for the hens as we'll as
eggs that they should lay on which
the owner could make profit. , It
meant too. a loss on the money he
had invested in the hens that were
earning no profit and not laying eggs
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1915-04-03

owner should be using to produce and
raise more chicks and get more profits.
The first great advantage of hovers
and brooders is that they will work any
time. The winter is the same as the
nice warm Spring to them. Thus the
poultry raiser can select his own sea-
son and control his brooding so as to
get his flock out in time to produce
eggs when he wants them. Develop
ment OF modern brooding devices so
that they care for from one hundred
to five hundred chicks means that the
modern poultryman can raise poultry
in thousands instead of fiocks OF
few dozens at the most. as he for
merly had to do when hens were his
dependence. The hovers and brood
ers built by reliable concerns run uni
formly and. being machines. do their
work in mechanical manner just
as their owner wants them to do. They
stay where they are put, and are not
missing when n rain comes up, or en-
gagged in the dewy mornings in drag
ging their tender occupants to death
through the wet grass. When they
are not in use they can be stored away,
and do not cost for useless mainte-
nance. They are clean and sanitary,
and those of the best makers are sim
pie. easily cared for and very depend
able under all conditions.

SIN In Demaud.

When South Porto Rico Sugar stock
achieved its curious gyratlons ono day
last week II was explained that they
represented the buying OF control by
prominent financial interests. After the
close OF the day White Il co. ackuowl-
edged themselves Ms purchasers OF sub
stantial amounts of stock. Members Of
one Stock Exchange firm cDnfided to
friends that they had sold the last 900
shares that White q Co. wanted to give
them control and were rather pleased
with themselves ut getting rid OF the
stock at what they believed 10 be the
top. The natural expectation was that
as buying for control had ceased the
price would slump. IL hasn't done any
thing Of the sort. The firm said to
have obtained control is still advertis-
Ing Itself as willing TO buy. which II
would scarcely do II II had not obtained
control and wished TO also the price on
the exchange has scarcely had a decent
reaction. The explanation apparently IL
that the present price represents actual
valuc behind ii and WAS not caused sim
ply by the urgent desire Of certain In
terests TO obtain control for the mere
sake OF control. The annua. report of
the company is due to-day. Il Is ~
pected TO show 50 per cent earned on the
stock for the year and "A boob value for
the stock OF from slS0 TO $500.

GOSSIP OF A STREET.


The market In Steel was quite an ex-
traordinary AFFAIR. 4 heavy buying
movement was under way from the
start, AT the close it assumed propor-
IONS pace that made Steel act some
ming after the manner of a war bride"
The truding. especially In the last few
minutes, was very heavy with 40 stock
apparently in sight. ON New street after
. o'clock IL was reported that bids were
made FOR the stock as high as Sc. The
response Of the remainder OF the market
to Steel was rather slighter than might
have been expected but that may have
been because the stock did not really
strike It's gait until the afternoon. But
however that may be, there is no doubt
mat Steel IL the real leader OF the mar
ket. Nothing Is calculated to
speculation by the general public more
than IA spectacle OF Steel rcs,uning it's
normal position. The whole country
has an interest actual or prospective
IN steel, whereas the market In other
ihdustrials Ia relatively narrow. In re-
gard to the impulse for the Steel move
ment, the daily gossip did not appear
TO be able to give anything really def
nite. There was a great deal OF talk
about the current earnings and those for
the last Quarter. which will be published
next week. Predictions were also made
that dividend action might be taken at
this meeting. But AL this has been gone
over before. so that there Is nothing new
except that tho meeting Is nearer every
day.

Perhaps the most noteworthy feature
OF the situation In regard to Westing-
house Is the fact hat i is selling almost
on a par with the preferred. The COM
mon, in which the great speculative
movement has occurred. is only three
or -four points under the first preferred.
These little market Inconsistencies have
been observed before where speculation
has destroyed the normal relation be-
tween one stock and another. The OK
PLANTATION usually has been that a COM
mon stock has unlimited profits rs far AZ
dividends are concerned, while the pre-
ferred Is limited to a certain percentage.
But this theory will not hold water as
