WHEAT FALLS UNDER
 HEAVIER SELLING
Close Is Weak and Net Loss Is Shown for
 the Day

Chicago, June 5-Heavy selling on the part of the big concerns today carried the price of wheat decsively down gf ade. The result was weak close at 2,4u2ssc under last night. Corn finished 1ssd1 ,Ac to 17sc down. oats off s4d114c to 19sc and pro- visions at losses varying from 2Iaa5c to 1O@121ac.
 Corn followed the lead of wheat and particularly so in the break at the end of the session.
 Weakness of oats appeared to come chiefly from sympathy with the action of other grain
 Provisions had no adequate support. It was said packers were trying to unload their holdings of lard and ribs.
 No session of the Chicago Board of Trade will be held on Monday. The day is legal holiday here, owing to a ju- dical election.

The crew of the General de Sonis that escaped from a submarine has also arrived here. Their ship was being lowed by the steamer Homer when the submarine appeared. The Homer severed the cable and tried to ram the subma rine The latter, being obliged to maneuver to avoid the blow, both the Homer and the General de sonis were able to escape, fol- lowed by the fire of the submarine. The struggle lasted an hour.

 Free Range Is Ideal
 Free range furnishes the best conditions for vigor and proper growth. As soon as the bullets are separated from the cock erels they should be placed immediately on the summer range, which should con sist of a rather large area. preferably free range. Under free range conditions. plenty of green food Is provided which stimulates the appetite and increases di- gestion. Natural shade is needed to pro- tect the chicks fNom the hot sun and to CT cate proper conditions of moisture.
 When allowed to roam over an extended area the birds secure a large quantity of food material in the form of grubs in- sects and weed seeds. These not only in- duce an excellent growth, but also cut down the cost of other purchased feeds. Furthermore. free range furnishes sani- tary conditions which are essential to the best health and development.
 An attempt to mature bullets in small. bare yards without free range will. in the great majority of cases. result in failure. The poultryman will appreciate that in all of this work the ultimate ain, is vigor and a natural inherited strength and vitality.

 Aseel fowls in America are bred only Ter ornamental purposes. The variety has never become popular here because the females are poor layers and both sexes have hard muscles that make them undesirable for the table. Aseel fowls weigh from five pounds for fe- msles to six for males. and In fhis respect suffer in comparison with the Coi nish fowls, their descendants. which run from six. to eight pounds for tho females, and eight 10 Il for males.

Ration for Cockerels
Skim Milk Broiler Mash

The broilers which are being fod these rations should be given plenty of green food and plenty of water tc drink and should have rather restrict cd range thus keeping down the ex- .relse and hastening the formation of fat.
 Where the heavier cockerels are to be grown to roaster age they should be given during the summer plentr of green grass range with shade Vixen they are from six to eight months old and two to three weeks before they are to be killed, it will be found desirabls to confne them in crates or small .'ards and feed them a special fatlen- ing ration.
 For such purposes the following ra- tion will be found very useful. It should be mixed very moist with skim milk if possible, if not, water will answer. It should be fed in pans or water tight troughs No water should be given the birds to drink during the finishing period other than what they get from the mash, the mash boine mixed very wet

Early Separation of Sexes, Correct Feeding and Free Range Secure Proper De- velopment
Rations for Young Stock After Age of Eight to Twelve Weeks Suggested by Expert
By PROF. HARRY R. LEWIS

os hoHs AhF>hsh tes " t7 Head of the department of poultry hus- bandry New Jersey agricultural expcr- iment station.
 COPYRIGHT. 1915.
 From the time chicks attain an age Of from eight to 12 weeks and are able to leave the brooder. the problem of the poultryman becomes one of insuring a uniform. continuous growth until the pull lets are put into the laying houses in the fall. In the case of the cockere's, the same problem is present until they are sold for meat. In this article Professor Lewis tells how to solve these problems successfully.
 During the summer months the success ful poultryman makes every effort to keep the young stock growing rapidly Erom the time they leave the brooder tha chicks should not be subjected to any check m their growth, for such a check let lrds development and makes them or small size and possessed of less vigor.
 There are three factors necessary to their satisfactory development: First, he early separation of sexes; second, proNid- ing proper environment. and third. sup plying sufficient nourishment
 Separate the Sexes Early
 As soon as the bullets and cockercls can be distinguished, it is essential tht they be kept by themselves for the remain der of the growing period.
 The bullets, when running by them- selves. make a better growth, and fnrtnei- more can be fed to secure a normal. slow ant nt 1l1,. T be necessary If they were to be plt into condition for market. The eockefels on the other hand, must be fed special fat tening rations in order to put on a hish quality of flesh in minimum of t.ne
 In the case of Leghorns the surplus cockerels should be disposed of a s broil. CTS in most cases at about l2 weeks of age, or when they weigh about one and one-half pounds With the heavier breeds, such us Plymouth Rocks and WY andottes, most cf the rockereis can be kept to the roasrer age ana marketed tn the fall when six to eight months cid. The male birds cannot be put into propsf condition economically if they are allowed to run with the bullets. They not only require different methods of feeding, but the presence of each other acts as an iiri. tation and serves to check the propet growth of each.
 Ration for Cockerels
 The following ration has proven very desirable for finishing eockerels which are to be sold as hrollers. It should be fed mixed with skim milk and in n crumbly, not sloppy, condition. It Is best fed in trough, only enough being given at time so that the chicks Will clean 1t up between each feeding. One feed of the mash day Is sufficient Equal parts of cracked corn and wheat should be fed morning and night in addition

English Walnuts F Or OrOfino.

George Alteneder will set out 200
Franquette English walnut trees this
spring on his place just above town.
Experiments in this section have
demonstrated that the Clearwater val
ley is ideal for the walnut, and the
important thing is that this tree may
be grown on otherwise useless land.
The steepest sidehills, where it would
be difficult to cultivate ordinary
crops, is fine for this tree, and there
is unlimited cheap walnut land avail
able. Eventually the English walnut
Will become very important COM

put out walnut grove on a sidehill
back of his garden, where the land
was so steep he had to spade and
grube out square yard in which to
set each tree. He wi II clear up the
intervening brush at leisure. The
trees are doing fine, and in seven or
eight years this will be the best paw
ing acre on his farm.
