POULTRY SUGGESTIONS

Nothing is better for a flock of chic
kens than tender luscious green
things. Those green succulent bits
are to be found everywhere at this
season of the year, but the best ones
are in your neighbor's yard. For a
dainty morsel it is hard to beat the
center of a budding hyacinth or tulip,
the heart of a shrub just emerging
into leaf.
Your chickens will thrive at no ex-
pense to yourself if you just let them
use your neighbours flower garden for
"a meal ticket.
Every owner OF a flock delights to
see contented, well-nourished, fine
~feathered birds. This result is to be
obtained by the simple expedient OF
letting them exploit the garden beds
next door.

EUROPEAN INQUIRIES
FOR STEEL HEAVY
Railroads Here Placing Large
Orders for Rails.

Steel trade publications tell OF eI-
eeptionally heavy inquiries for muni-
ton making steel for export, the pres
ent total being said to be the largest
since the beginning OF the war. The
railroads have been buying rails in
great volume because Of the impending
advance, and orders for 100000 tons
have been placed in the last SIX weeks.
Elsewhere domestic buying shows some
sign Of slackening.
"The Iron Age" says:
"The oversold condition OF Leading
steel producers and the tightening OF
the steel market SO far as concerns
deliveries this year are more plainly
indicated by the developments OF the
last week. Leaving out rails, new buy
ing has fallen OF, but mainly because
Of the definite efforts o, sellers to re-
press demand. particularly in bars, BILL
lets. plates and Shapes.
Europe is seeking round lots OF war
steel for this year, and the situation
has now gone beyond the point OF fenc-
1nI over tne price, ieN le'Bo Hes
sre in position to consider 1t At all.
New capacity is under construction. but
its expected output has bean sold, per
haps in some cases more than once"
"The Iron Trade Review" will say:
Announcements OF progressive rec
ords being scored, both in the output
Of product and in the volume OF new
business being offered. arc becoming
monotonous in the steel trade. The in.
dustry remains fairly overwhelmed
with orders. In view Of reports that
foreign buying o. steel products from
this country is not likely TO be so Wig
orous in the future, there stands out
the statement made in highly authori-
tatiye circles that not since the begin
ming Of the war has such volume OF
export orders have offered as at the
present time. There remain unsstisfied
in the market inquiries calling for =
tonnage running into the hundreds OF
thousands OF munition steel for foreign
bellicerents. Rail buying by domestic
roads has been very vigorous in view
Of the advanced prices to go into eject
May !. II is estimated that fully
10000 tons Of rails have been placed
with the mills during the past six
weeks"
