Importance of Feeding.

AT no point will the care of fowls pay
better than in the matter of feeding.
The first consideration is regularity.
They should have one feeding of grain
as early in the morning as it is light
enough for them to get off the roosts
and see to dig for it in the litter The
last feed at night should be fed as late
as they can see to pick il out of the
troughs in which it Is fed This night
feed should be at least one-half corn.
If the weather is cold, and fed in
troushs so the hens can eat it easily.
and thus go to bed with well filed
crops. Three or even four small feed
ings of this scratch grain will pay in
eggs, but care must be exercised to see
the mems are not fed too much a. one
time. but just enough to keep them
slightly hungry. At the last feed. how
ever they should be given ali they

led precaution should be taken to pre-
vent the hens overeating and then re-
fusing to work for their grain the re
mainder of the day. II the birds are
inclined TO sit around on the roosts in
stead of being down In the litter II is
"A sign that too much feed has been
given at one time. and the next feedjn z
should be decreased or left off entirely.

best foundation for mash. which should
be fed in v-shaped troughs long enough
so all the mems can eat at once. or some

their share This mash may be fed at

for an hour previous to or followine

chosen to realize on their holdings
even at a small sacrifice. A good nat
ural market has developed. but it may
be that buying has been to some ex-
tent restricted by current talk that
other loans would be offered. and pos
sibly upon better terms. The latter
supposition is improbable. although
there Is a recognised possibility that
other loans may be offered with col
lateral security. Such an issue would
in no way impair the value of this
loan. which as a joint and external OBJ
legation of the two governments occu-
pies an exceptional position.
1t is a well known fact that Ameri-
can bankers from the inception of the
neEotiations advised collateral loan,
not because they considered collateral
necessary to secure payment. but he
cause they were satisfied that under
the conditions existing il would make
the loan go better and enable more
money to be raised. British financial
writer's now recognize that the terms
or the loan. which were criticised at
tne time. were not more favorable to
lenders than necessary to make tho
loan success in this market

New Year Possibilities.


The new year has opened with all it.
unknown possibilities of success. for
which the country has long hoped At
TINS time, one year ago the United
States was sunk in gloom and there
was apparently no prospect of there
vival which was to follow. Today, how
ever, the situation is radically changed
Tor the better. The retrospect is good
ana the prospect is better than it has
been for a decade. This does not mean
that there is such a boom as the world
mas never seen before. because it must
De remembered that the greatest war in
n.s,ory Is In progress and that war
and prosperity are seldom or never
twins. There is, however, present pros
perity and an encouraging outlook for
tne months that are to come. The
Unite, United states is at peace with all the
world, although there are occasional
nashes indicating that perhaps by some
untoward event this country NAV vet
oe involved in the earthquake. A fear
OF sucn possibility lingering in some
quarters causes a slight alarm, but this
anxiety is less important than the fact
that prosperity based on the misfor-
tunes OF others is not altogether sound
AS the year begins to unfold its un-
written record it is seen that the pres-
ent abnormal export trade will be of
protracted duration because the bellic-
erent countries must have American
sooos IN order to repair the wastape

otherwise end with the return of peace

Price Level Too High.
There is one thing which may in
terfere with the consumption of goods,
and that is the high level of prices
prevailing in every branch of trade
Possibly these prices will decline
somewhat after the return of peace,
and, IL this should be the case. COM
merce will be promoted by the change
Everywhere there is feeling of con-
fdence and optimism and a disposition
to forget the past with all its dis
agreeable memories and to push for
ward into the green fields of pros
pertty which are now opening up in
plain view. American business men
are prepared for all that the new year
cal bring them, and certainly it will
not be their fault il 1916 does not full
fill all the anticipations created by its
auspicious opening. There is every
reason to believe that the policy which
business interests will follow will be
wise. prudent. progressive and yet con-
servative, and will be marked by that
energy and brilliant initiative charac-
teristic OF the United States and its
people. w. S. COUSINS.

For southern conditions. houses with
the fronts entirely open are well
adapted. and this type is used with sue
cess in all sections of the United States
They require less attention than houses
where the ventilation is controlled by
the use of curtains or windows: but in
the northern half of the United States
the majority of poultry keepers prefer
to have part or all of the front of their
poultry houses under control. in order
to keep the snow. rain and wind from
beating into the house, and to protect
he poultry during the colder weather
If the curtain is not attended to, how :
ever, curtain front houses may be less
satisfactory than the open-front type,
even in northern latitudes.
A large amount of glass in the front
of the house makes it warm during the
day. but cold at night, as glass radi-
ates heat very rapidly. Some glass.
however, is helpful in providing light
when the curtains are closed. Some
try house even on the coolest night. 1t
is usually best secured by leaving a
small window open or having muslin
curtains in the front of the house. If
the house is shut up tightly without
any muslin curtains in the front there
is tendency for moisture to collect in
the house and condense on the rafters
and other woodwork on frosty morn

house except in very cold or stormy
weather Hens are protected by nature

In selecting yearling hens for breeders
for another year-or, indeed for laying
fowls-watch them carefully during the
moult. 1t is not only the early moulters
that you want to select. but the hens
that get through the moulting process
quickly. cleanly and without any appar-
ent loss of condition. Now and then
you will see hen in the moult whose
comb is almost white and who mopes
around and refuses to eat. This is not
the kind of hen to keep over. either as
a breeder or for a laying hen, because
her constitution is not sufficiently
strong to withstand the effects of the
moult.
