GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago. February 17.-Many complaints
 that abnormally dry weather in the southwest and west was causing serious
 crop damage gave an upward slant to-
 day to quotations on wheat. The market closed unsettled at the same as yester-
 days finish to 11kc higher, with May at
 $1.7S1k to n.73st and July at $1.4s% to $1.49. Corn wound up unchanged to h99kc higher; oats gained hc to Ac, and pro- visions showed rise of 10c to 20c. Notwithstanding a good deal of inde- cision at the outset. bulls in wheat soon obtained an evident advantage from mes sages that flooded in telling of poor crop prospects throughout a large %ortion of the winter wheat belt, especially Kan | sas and sections of Missouri. High winds and dust storms were said to have added to the injury due to lack of nourishing
 moisture. A little enlargement of the
 number of railway cars available for
 shippers here tended also to stimulate bullish sentiment and so, too, did notice of decline in rates for ocean insurance.
 Furthermore, there were predictions of a
 fair sized decrease in the United States visible supply total on Monday.
 1 Disappointment over the absence of any | new export buying led to some reaction
 in wheat prices as the day approached
 an end. New crop months. however, maintained a relatively firm tone.
 ] Some inquiry from the seaboard made the corn market harden a trifle. Pre- viously the feeling was bearish owing tc prospects of enlarged arrival.
 | Oats reflected the changes in corn values. Trade was so light that the market was easily influenced.
 1 Higher quotations on hogs brought
 about firmness in provisions. The bulge, though, led to considerable realizing on ! the part of holders.

DEALING IN STOCKS
 ON BROADER SCALE
All Branches Reflected Greater Confidence Than
 on Any Day for Week

New York, February 17.-All branches of the stock list reflected further confi- dence during todays brief period of trad ing. dealings being on a larger and broader scale than any previous day of the week. Under the lead of United States Steel, industrials rose to points, marked strength being manifested by Lackawanna Steel and Republic Iron. Coppers and equipments advanced as much. the entire metal group being ma- terially strengthened by unconhrmed re- ports of the sale of moderate amount of "spot" copper at the unprecedented price of 37 cents per pound.
 Shippings were the most active features next to steel and iron shares at average gains of points, their rise being accom- panied by a decline in marine insurance rates, indicating an abatement of the re- cent apprehension in that quarter. The more distinctive war supply stocks, nota- bly, Central Leather, Baldwin Locomotive, Industrial Alcohol and National Enamell- ing were in steady demand. rising to points, with 4N for New York Air Brake. dian Pacific and Union Pacific, featured the seasoned rails and New Haven threw off some of its recent depression.
 Final prices were slightly under top levels, but the closing was active and strong. Total sales amounted to 27S000 shares.
 The actual cash gain disclosed by the bank statement was much under general estimates, while the loan expansion of elmost $35000.o00 was in the nature of 3 correction of last weeks heavy contrac- tion of that item.
 Trading in bonds was light, with an ir- regular tone except in internationals, which showed slight improvement. Total sales, par value, $1,720,000
 United States coupon 3's advanced half n point and registered As lost 8 point on call during the week.

ances there were generally speaking, two distinct temperatures and no gradua tions of heat; the interior temperature of the
 hover so frequently stuffy and hot, and
 the outside air, which is very apt to
 be too cold. Either of these the chick
 had to accept and both were weakening to be chilled or partly suffocated
 The brooder stove is a high-power fur
 mace capable of radiating a great deal
 of heat which, by means of widespread
 sheetiron deflector. is distributed down
 ward over the backs of the chicks, where
 it Is most needed. When taken from the
 incubator direct to the brooder, the
 chicks instinctively learn to form a circle
 around the stove with precision that
 is remarkable. Without any assistance
 from the attendant, they will gauge their distance from the base of the stove en- tirely by the intensity of the heat most comfortable to them. In other words, the stove provides a gradual decrease in temperature, from the base. which is very hot, to the farthest corners of the room. which can be kept as cool as de- sired by means of ventilation.
 This arrangement of heating, when combined with proper ventilation, is un- questionably the most practical system, for it permits every chick to seek the degree of warmth best suited to it's in. dividual comfort and well being. No mat
  tbe, nor how hard he may struggle to make a brood comfortable only the chicks themselves know what warmth they require. Their impulse Is more ac- curate than all the thermostats that were ever invented.
 A brooder stove does not require any special type of building, any more than the house shall be fairly well con- structed, weather-proof dry and capa- ble of being ventilated without direct drafts. The stove may be installed in 1 a colony house. and later, when the brood no longer requires artificial heat. the stove may be removed and the same quarters used for rearing the young stock Or, stoves may be erected irl laying houses, and when the broods have been weaned the stoves are taken
 down. This factor means economy in buildings.

a building primarily intended for a brooder house, but which may be util- ized as a colony house, too, and as 8 laying house, by simply adding roasting Compartments and nests. The house is common sense in every detail, and rep-
 resents the greatest economy consists
 ent with strong construction and gen-
 eral security. A brooder house must ba tight; it must be warm. A 1eaky, drafty 1 house is wasteful, not alone in the losses
 due to heavy mortality. but fin the ex-
 tra fuel required to heat the building. | The house as shown fs 1e feet square,
 which will accommodate a stove of
 1000-chick capacity. In Fig. 1 the build
 ing is erected a couple of feet above
 the ground on concrete piers, and has
 wooden floor If a dirt floor fs cons !templated 1t is advisable to put down
 a concrete wall for the foundation, as
 shown in Fig. 2. A wooden sill is laid on top of the wall, bo1ted to 1t. upon which the studding or framework is erected.
 In Fig the piers are in three rows. lsupporting the sills at intervals of about five feet. The sills are 3x8-inch ltimbers, supporting the floor Joists of l2x6-inch material, on 16-inch centers. iThe framework is constructed mainly fro 2x4-inch stuff, including tho raft. Iers, which have 8 comparatively short span on a roof of this type The walls
 may consist of matched boards, covered
 with patent roofing, novelty siding, or ather-boards. The first named Is the cheapest and equally as durable as any other material. Shingles do not wear
 well on roofs of low pitch, hence this ihouse is roofed with a good grade of lpatent roofing, laid on sheathing boards of matched lumber.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, February 17.-The local traders thought that the embargo would
 bring. more demand for the near position from those who were unable to secure deliveries of cotton from the railroads and acting on this idea they expected an increased number of buyers and have taken the slow liquidation of March
 holders. They hold that until cotton can move freely there will be few offers and
 that consequently the market Is apt to be higher next week. Liverpool bought moderately on the close and that mar ket is expected to be sharply higher on Monday.

Perhaps the most noteworthy feature of this house is it's system of ventilation In the four corners of the room, about 15 inches above the floor line, are cut circular openings in the walls about 5 inches in diameter. These are fitted with galvanized iron stovepipe and elbows, rfl the form of an S-shaped ventilator. point ing downward on the outside and upward on the inside. Over the inside screen Is placed to prevent chicks from flying into it, and a damper is fitted in the elbow to control the intake of fresh air.
 The house is ceiled on the inside face of the Sstudding. and to the under side of the collar beams which tie the rafters together. Where the stovepipe passes through this ceiling on it's way to the chimney, a ventilating well or duct is built about 90 inches square. which is fitted with doors to regulate the escape of four air into the loft space above. This loft space in turn is ventilated by an opening in either gable, fitted with louvers or oblique slats, like a Venetian blind, to keep out rains.

ARRANGEMENT OF BRooDER HOUSE

The front of u house contains threa large sash which mako up the greater part of the wall. and fairly flood ths interior with sunlight. These windows are hinged at the top and made to open outward, permitting additional ventils- tion on very warm days. Each end of the house has a large sash. arranged horizontally, and the upper half of the entrance door may be glass In the sum- mertime. when the brooder is being used as a colony house, or when occupied aa laying house, the front sash may os removed at the discretion of the attend- ant, and curtain frames of muslin subs stituted. The building Is then converted into practically an open-front house.
 It may surprise those who have but a casual knowledge of turkeys to learn that there are seven different domestic varie- ties, ranging in color from black t9 white, and all having certain points of excellence. The advantages of each breed will be discussed in next weeks articles and may help you to make your selection.
