FILLING The NEEDS
OF THE SITTING Hen
How to Use Hatchfng Pen and
Nest Boxes and How to
: Manage The Fowls.
-. 1-sx!.saSE

The care of sitting hens Is made
easier and successful hatches more
certain when the sitters are confined
in q Ben away ffom the layers. The
floor of this Matching pen should be
earth, dug up and R2ietsRsA EGt
,po2es SHOULD be placed About the
sides. There cab be fro4 Is to 80 sit
ting hens in pen For the nest q box
IL to 15 inches square and about the
same in height is suitable. Remove
the top, front. and bottom Of the box.
Cover the top with buriap sack to
provide ventilation and nail a wooden
strip inches wide across the front
at the bottom. Have q wide board
to lean against the open front and a
brick to keep It in place when it Is
necessary to confine the hen.
Fill the bottom of the box level
with the top Of the 4-inch board with
moist garden soil and hollow the soil
like saucer, so that the eggs will not
roll away from the hen and become
chilled. The surface of the earth
should be smooth and hard to allow
the eggs to roll. Cover the earth with
a very little straw and put in few
common eggs.

work WEARS ON The The KIDNEYS.
Deans Kidney Pills Have Done Great
Service for People Who work
In KilQStPee.

Many Kingstree people work every
day in some strained unnatural posi-
tion-bending constantly over desk
riding on jolting wagons or cars
doing laborious housework; lifting,
reaching or pulling. or trying the
back in a hundred and one other
ways. All these strains tend to
wear, weaken and injure the kid
neys until they fall behind in their
work of filtering the poisons from
the blood. Doan's Kidney Pills are
for weak kidneys, and bad backs.
Their effective work is convincing
proof of merit.

In regard to the so-called war stocks

Corn Products had pretty good week.
The common closed a point under the
extreme high mark Of last year, made
on the top OF the boom in October An
ostansible reason for the buying has
been anticipations of favorable develop
ments In regard to the Government suit
against the company. Naturally talk Of
this kind is of keen interest to the
holders of common stock. The preferred
is more accurate reflector OF the COM
pany's earnings. which are said to be
exceedingly good. Friends Of the stocks
say that even the officiai statements do
not properly measure the strength OF the
companys financial position. as the man.
agement has followed the policy of en-
ploying its surplus in buying up the Sc
curities of subsidiary companies. A

The Lost Opportan atty.

wrenn Bros & Co. say Of the market
situation: THE position OF the market
has doubly changed during the past
week. Prospects that the January rise,
which began December IL and was
shocked January 4. will he continued
have greatly diminished. and the slump
In Canadian Car and Foundry strongly
hints that the bull movement IN the
war stocks may have already termi-
mated. The Austrian crisis has ap-
parently diverted public buying from
stocks and bonds. and such buying at
this season is especially important be-
cause Of the aggregate disbursements
of well over a billion dollars. These dis
bursements on the part Of both frme
and corporations are at their ma ximum
IN the last week OF December and the
frs week Of January. and 1t is die
tinctly contrary 70 the habits OF invee-
tors to allow their funds TO remain
idle. II. therefore. the stock market
does not capture this public buying I'M
meitately II will presumably never cap
ture 1t. and the remainder OF the So
called January rse. instead of being
omitted altogether. That the buying is
being diverted into bonds 10 indicated
by the present great strength and sc-
tivty OF the bond market As to the
war stocks the position of Canadian Car
and Foundry may prove to be typical
rather than exceptional. These issues
are already far below their highest
prices. and II "a quite likely that the
reason is to be found IN the dearth
Of new and additional contracts for
arms and munitions. We think then
that purchases should be made for the
time being only on reactions. and that
T. should prove a good general policy
20 exchange gradually from the indus
s,rials into the old standard stocks
which are not dependent directly or In.

sided stock market in the week end
0sseion yesterday on the whole. as
poets Of strength predomlnated. even
though the initial firmness displayed
was not maintained. The harder tone
displayed was In part attributable to
the trading Influences which would
naturally tend to prevail at the close
Of week marked by rather effective
selling movement. which included pro.
fessional bearish operations. and there
was further covering Of short commit
ments. A. the same time there was a
liberal supply of offerings. especially on
the opening advance. and the market
was called on TO exhibit an absorptive
capacity. which in the main was sa,is-
factorily adequate.
War stocks were most conspicuously
under pressure. the fact seeming--to be
recogniped that many members OF this
group were not IN as good technical
position az the general list. Rails and
standard industrials were we'll bought
throughout the morning. and purchases
Of these descriptions seemed to be all
the more excellent because commission
house buying was discouraged by the
failure Of the market to hold its early
gain. The opening range was obviously
too high 20 persist. although 1t was a
suggestion Of the underlying frmncss Of
quoted values.
After the reaction which cnsued the
standard issues hardened, and while the
market as a whole closed materially
below the opening level II compared
favorably with final figures on Friday.
A satisfactory feature was the activity
and strength of the bond department
New York Central 6s advertised the di-
rection of investment attention to Sc
curities by an advance Of a point. and
the Anglo-French bonds came within a
email fraction of complete recovery to
the underwriting price.
Foreign exchange displayed more
hrmness than on Friday. even marks
rallying rather sharply The weekly
bank statement showed only a very
modest Increase of about $4,000 600 in
the loan account, while reserves made a
substantial gain of almost $1,000, 600
