SOUTHERN COMPANY
 WILL RESUME WORK
IFrOm Sundays Daily MinerI

On December the Oatman South ern Mining company will again be actively developing it's extensive hold ings. The financing of the property for a big campaign of development was recently completed. It has been closed down for the past three months owing to lack of finances.
 Through the efforts of George J.. Reiner and S. R. Porter the company has been financed and development will be carried on until the merits of the holdings are proven. The ground is fully equipped. The shaft is now 100 feet in depth. When operations are resumed sinking will be continued to the 400 foot point before cross cutting to the vein is started.

'MOF;" NICKNAME FOR GERMANS IN HOLLAND
 HELD ID BE INSULT

THE HAGUE, Netherlands, Nov. 1. The Hague court has solemnly ruled that the word "Mof," the univer- sal nickname applied to Germans in the Netherlands, is insulting, and a member of the second chamber of par iament has been sentenced to fine of $40, or five days imprisonment, for writing 'Mof" under the name plate of a German merchant here.
 The story has provided the whole country with a feat of entertainment. J. H. Q. W. ter Spill, who is the rec ognized humorist of the Dutch parlia- ment, was out walking with his wife and family when a name in big Gothic characters, "Carl D. A. GOsch," caught his eye. Parliamentary decorum and

IMPORTANT FACTORS
IN RAISING OF CHICKS
Comfort and Proper Feeding Essen
tial if Poultryman Would Make
Success of Business.
Indigestion Fatal to Baby Chicks.
When and What to Feed.
Pure Air Necessary.

Two factors of most Importance in
raising young chicks are comfort for
the newly Matched incubator babies
and proper feeding. The latter includes
proper feeds, proper intervals between
feelings, proper quantities fed and
consequent upon these the prevention
of Indigestion. which often results in
the death of every one of an entire
brood. n. l.. Harris. superintendent of
poultry husbandry at the Kansas Agri-
cultural College. discussing these vital
points. says:
The little chick, whether naturally
or artifcially fed. should not be given
anything to eat until it shows signs of
being decidedly hungry. which will
usually be in about thirty-siX to forty
eight hours. one of the first feeds
that the young chick should receive is
fine sand or commercial chick grit and
a good drink of some sour milk or
buttermilk If possible. More digestive
troubles in incubator chicks are caused
from lack of grit than any other one
thing.
Evening star., 1916-05-07
Feed Little and Often.

During the first week or ten days it
is best to feed five times a day, after
which time three times d day is sutti-
cient. AS soon as possible whole wheat
and whole kaffir should take the place
of the cracked grains.
Where an abundant supply of sour
milk is not available it will be found
necessary to add one-half pound of
corn and meat scrap to the dry mash
after the first week. This could grad
uaily be increased to four pounds at the
end of the fourth week. When the
hatch is brought off early and there is
not an abundance of green shoots it
will be found beneficial to feed an
onion once or twice daily"

POULTRY YARD NOTES.

The following advice by a poultry
expert at the Maryland Agricultural
College will be found worth while by
those who are planning to enter the
poultry business on a larger or smaller
scale. The advice was written for the
experienced poultryman as well as for
the beginner.
Keep the whole flock in as near a
perfect state of health as possible, as
eggs are often infected from a dis
eased condition of the hen, and will
not then keep as well.
Give enough sheIl-forming food to
the hens. so that the shells will be
strong and uniform in thickness. Thin
shelled eggs do not keep we'll
! Make proper nesting places and keep
them clean. so that the eggs may not
be infected while in the nests.
Gather the eggs each day
Keep the gathered eggs in a dry,
cool room or cellar, where the suns
rays do not fall directly upon them.
Preserve only absolutely fresh eggs
Stale eggs will not keep in any pre-
servative: Place eggs in the preserva-
tive within twenty-four hours after
the time they are laid. If in doubt as
to their freshness, candle them or see
if they sink when placed in dish of
pure water. If an egg sinks it is rea- :
sonably fresh.
that have been washed. The washed
egg will not keep because the shell has
been moistened, and the dirty eggs
will become tainted in flavor.
Do not try to keep eggs longer than
one year.
DO not use the same liquid more
than once. y new lot is cheaper than
d case of spoiled eggs.
Rinse the eggs in water after re-
moving them from the preserVative. If
in good condition when removed from
ter-glass solution they will usually
remain for at least two weeks.
Water glass eggs are practically as
good as fresh eggs for all cooking pur-
poses. If it is desired to boil them
prick a small hole through the large
end of the shell before placing them
in the water. The pores of the shell
have been sealed by the water-glass
expanding air within the shell would
burst it.
In feeding small turkeys remember
never to overfeed and never to feed
anything the least spoiled. Feed often.
but very little at time. Provide grit
and charcoal. Feed plenty of sour
milk in addition to fresh drinking
water. Mix little wheat bran and
middlings with the cornmeal, moisten
this very little with sour milk. and

addition, feed very sparingly of little

Sour Milk Helpful.

"One of the essentials in mainta inin 8
good digestion is liberal supply of
either sour milk or buttermilk. In a
few hours after the sand and butter
milk have been fed very small guam
tity of hard boiled egg. including the
she'll chopped fine and mixed with
bread crumbs or rolled oats, may be
given. A good proportion is one part
egg and nve parts bread crumbs or
rolled oats.
"On the second day equal parts of
cracked wheat and corn should be scat
tered in a litter. AT the same time a
mash consisting of eighteen parts corn
meal, twenty-one parts wheat bran,
four parts bonemeai and two parts of
sranulated charcoal should be given.
The charcoal is not feed, but acts
as regulator. The mash should be
fed in shallow troughs that are kept
scrupulously clean. If chicks have a
free range this mash may be kept be-
fore them at all times. If. however,
they are confined to small pens, only

cline in price. What this decline will
be. how serious, can at present only be
a matter of conjecture. but any decline
of moment in the price of wheat, par
ticularly during the harvesting or
afterward. when the wheat is placed
on the market, is bound to have an un-
favorable effect on the farmer and in
all likelihood to induce him to curtail
free purchasing on his part. Another
factor in the situation is the large sur
plus carried over from last year. AS a
rule the farmer who is in a position to
hold his wheat will only sell it when it
reaches price in accordance with his
ideas. and the great majority of the
farmers at this time have the ability to
they SO wish. Should it appear. how
ever, with the coming of peace. that
the high price of wheat Is ended for
the time being, it is more than likely
that large holdings will be thrown
upon the market, with the effect of
further lowering the price.

Railroad Earnings.

The largest earnings in the history
of two of the standard eastern trunk
lines. the New York Central and the
Pennsylvania railroad, were disclosed
when the March figures were reported
this week. The gross earnings of each
system increased nearly $S.0O0,O00 over
the figures for March. 1915. For three
months of the current fiscal year the
increases in gross over the correspond
ing period of 1915 We're $24,116,000 for
the Pennsylvania and $22,437 ,00e for the
Central. New York Central alone
showed increases of s4.134.000' in gross
and $2,287. 900 in net for March and in
creases of $11,390,O00 in gross and ST.
$4,000 in net for three months. On all
lines in the Central system the increase
in March net was $4,S37, 600, and in net
for three months, 315.2SO.000. For the
lines east of Pittsburgh and Erie the
Pennsylvania statement showed March
increases of S5,096, 600 in gross and ST.
100000 in net. On the lines west the
increases were S2,979,00O in gross and
S1,146,000 in net. The net earnings on
the lines east and west were $685., 900,
year. For the first three months of the
current year the lines east and west
showed net earnings of S20,SsS,00 an
increase of $12.s59.000 over the corre-
spending period of 1915.
These highly favorable conditions are
the result of two factors, both of which
may be counted on as permanent fea
lures in railroad financing. The first
is the tremendous increase in domestic
traffic, and the second is the more equi-
table treatment of the roads by the in
terstate commerce commission in the
matter of freight rates. 1t is because

ward plunge; and in many instances
the seasoned trader has been decidedly
| outwitted by the comparative stranger
to the stock markets. The present
tendencies. however. are for moderate
swing in one direction, followed by an
equal reaction. and followed as keenly
by the general public as by the pro-
fessionals.
There has been disposition in some
quarters to go to extremes, but these
tendencies are very abruptly checked
when the course Of the market runs
contrary to the ideas of those who
must back their judgment with good
money. The handsome profits that in
few cases have been meted out to
successful spectators have helped to
! spread the contagion of speculation. to
the evident sorrow of many who have
not been so shrewd as they might wish
themselves to be.
Saturnalia of Prosperity.
A western authority states that "ad-
venturers from the Pacific coast who
have ventured to the Atlantic seaboard
report a saturnalia of money-making
and money-spending in eastern CEN
ters, with prosperity perching upon the
shoulders alike of the great and the
lowly."
This is hardly a correct diagnosis of
current conditions, notwithstanding
that it is partly true. Many have found
only disappointment where great gains
were anticipated. The leading brokers
and bankers in New York are advising
extreme caution for their clients as far
as the stock market is concerned, and
the safety first slogan is more
popular one than the "get-rfch quick"
illusion among seasoned investors. Not
withstanding the unusual activity of
the stock market in recent months, it
is found by examining the records that
the average of the leading industrials
has declined points in the four
months since January l, whereas in the
same period last year it advanced 121a
points. This is rather remarkable in
view of the extraordinary growth and
expansion of commerce and business
in that period.
