Prices Of Ships Rise Again.

London, Sept. 10. - Prices of mer-
chant steamers have taken another adj
vance of 10 per cent. At the present
time such vessels as are on the market
are selling at from six to twelve times
as much as they would have brought
before the war, and in spite Of tho
high prices owners are not anxious to
sell. so high are present freight rates
and 80 profitable as a result is the
shipping industry.
The prices brought by four vessels
sold recently indicate the enormous in
ereases since the war began. The
Taxiarhis. 5000 tons. built in 1909,
sold in April. 1914. for f2o, 400 S112,-

three pounds of milk produced. applies
Very largely to COWS giving from TWEEN
ty to thirty pounds of milk daily when
the hay and other r~ouchage is rich in
carbohydrates.
AS stated. where there is alfalfa and
sila@e then less grain is fed. To COWS
giving milk testing 3 to 31a per cent
less grain is fed than to those produce
ing milk testing from ~ o > per cent.
When COWS arc giving sixty to seventy
pounds of milk daily. feeding one
pound of grain to each three pounds of
milk produced would be excessive, for
when Il COW is ed more than fifteen
pounds of grain daily close watch must
be made of her appetite and physical
condition or there is danger of throw
ing her off feed. Cows giving less than
fifteen to twenty pounds of milk may
often be fed more profitably if nothing
but rolgllage is given them. This is
especially true if the roughage is rich
in protein.
From What we have said it is evident
tina no exact conditions can be given
in feeding an individual animal. 1t
must be left to the judgment of the
1eedef to vary the amount of grain.ac-
cording to the demands of the COW,
best that we can do is to advocate
a general system of feeding.

Poultry Farming For Blind.

London, Sept. 1.-two of the occu-
pations which those in charge of teach.
Ing trades to those blinded in the war
nave found most suitable for their
charges are massaging and poultry
farming.
Sir Arthur Pearson, in charge of the
work at st. Dunstan's, Regents park.
SAID recently In an interview:
Massage as an occupation is about
the best thing a blind man can take IN,
He has to go through a strenuous
course of training and acquire a knowl-
edge of anatomy and physiology in adj
dltlon to the actual manipulative
work.
"Those who take up market garden.
Ing and poultry farming are quite
capable of doing the necessary work
themselves. The great difficulty is to
find a man a cottage and a bit OF land
within reasonable distance of a mar
ket.
I'm other industries our men have
acquired a skill that they can turn to
good account The instance of a boot
maker occurs to me-. Twelve months
ago his parents We're distressed over
his condition and wondered what
would become of him. He learned the

Wooden Shoes May Come Here.

Chicago. Sept. 11.-Shoes for women
won't extend SO far above the ankle
next year as they do this season. That
is the opinion of officers of the Illinois
Shoe Dealers association. Shortage in
the leather supply is given as the reason
for this belief. Because of a shortage
in %dyestuffs the colors will be limited
to dull grays and champagne. An in
crease of from 20 to 10 per cent in the
price OF shoes is predicted.
"Unless the world develops a sub
st1tute for leather within two years"
said one man, America will be the
next wooden shoe nation"

AGlanceatCurrentTopi and Events

To this end there will be employed n
special staff whose duty 1t will be to
translate the technical wording of the
various papers discussed into plain lam
guage stories that will interest all. The
public. 1t is believed, will by this
means be able to appreciate what n
tremendous work has been done by the
chemists here to meet the situation
that arose when the German imports
ceased. For instance, there will be
told the story of the expedition that
during the last year conducted a ma
tional potash hunt. The public will
learn not only of the potash found, but
the dangers encountered and the hard
ships endured by those who engaged in
the hunt. DIR. Homer G.. Bloom of
Philadelphia is authority for the state
ment that there is more than enough
potash in sight nov to satisfy com-
mercial demands not only of this coun-
try. but of the world.
Matters of great Importance in chem
1stry. particularly the dye situation,
will be discussed at the meeting by the
of the society, which has a
total of 5000 names on it's rolls. Many
universities and other educational in
situations and many chemical indus
trial establishments will be represent
ed. Plans for the exposition are in the
hands of a committee of scientists and
practical business men. Charles +.
Roth and Adrian Nagelvoort will dem
onstrate to the public just what chem
zeal researchers are doing for indus

IMPURE WATER CAUSE
OF SICKNESS IN HOGS

When | first began the raising of

and consequently lost almost my entire
herd. writes Il. +. Rushing in the Farm
and Preside. 1t was Very discourage
ing to a young breeder. Then I studied
how to prevent sickness in my herd.
Nature has provided an abundance
of foods of different kinds which will,
when properly combined. form q most
healthful ration. Nature also provides
an abundance of sunshine to destroy
most all germs if properly exposed.
From my years of experience | would
say that if food. water. sunshine and
exercise are strictly attended to there
is little danger of sickness. OF course
this will not absolutely prevent any of
the different forms of Sickness. All
animal life is subject to sickness. but
with the proper care it can be reduced
to the minimum.
The feeding of swine is a great cues
ton and can be mastered only by eX-
peuence. Hogs to be healthy must
have a variety OF food grains. roots

make the plan impracticable in the
majority Of cases. If a hen is kept on
for two Of three weeks she must have
a vacation. To try to force eggs all
the time not only will meet with fail
ure, but will put the hens out of con-
dition and permanently impair their
productivity too early in their career.
Centering around the season of mott
should be the season of rest, and the
true way to hasten the mott is to give
the hens a preparatory vacation with
change of diet.
For some years l have made it a
practice practically to stop feeding the
hens about the middle of June. Before
this some of the underlings will have
got into the rowing and grazing habit,
n with the early sun they are out in
the fields looking for bugs and picking
grass. But the majority of them resent
the omission of their usual feed of
grain and will stand around looking for
1t, out In a few mornings they. too, will
start out to hunt without waiting to
be fed. With a small feed OF some
grain at night they get along very well.
They soon get rid of that surplus fat
and their whole system gets a reno

hardy habits and thus general health
Improves in tone and vigor.
OF course this plan Of summer man

Where the fowls can get a good part
OF their living from weed seeds, grass,

adapted to the farm in that it reduces
to a minimum the care of the flock ot
a time when farm work is most press
ing and all available labor required for
planting and harvesting.
