REFORMING THE STOCK
EXCHANGE,

A salutary and long-needed reform
has been adopted by the New York Ex-
change. The board Of governors has
announced that members must report.
every morning. all stock transactions
they have handled the previous day,
whether for themselves or for custo'
mers. giving the number OF shares
bought and sold. and the names Of the
purchasers and sellers.
This method is intended to give the
board all information necessary for the
control Of short selling" 1t Will thus
be in position to eliminate the chief
evil OF stock exchange gambling. and
presumably to prevent the repetition OF
such bear raids" and resulting price
slumps as the country has seen lately
The reports are not intended for pub
lication. but II Is likely that the gov
ernment has access to them. II not
II can easily get 1t by congressional
action or by mere request Of the presi
dent.
Thus the danger Of further landslides
in standard securities and widespread
unsettling Of values at critical times
will be forestalled. The raiders. nc
matter whether their purpose Is pri
vate profit or a disloyal attack on
American business and credit, can nc
longer work in secret They can be
warned and stopped. Or IL necessary
they can be put in Jail.

TAKING THE HELM.

The latest war developments add i'm
mensely to the prestige and opportuni'
ty of the United States. Our allies,
taught by the Italian disaster as the
climax OF many disasters, have tardily
decided that the various campaigns
must be more closely consolidated, and
their military authority must be CEN
tralized.
This is precisely what the American
governments has urged for many
months. The first step taken toward
more concerted action. the establish
ment Of supreme war council" for
the guidance Of France. Great Britain
and Italy, must be regarded as only
a temporary measure. The other allies
must necessarily be taken In. especial
ly the United States. And In the opin'
ion Of American exports such a coun'
ell will have to be given much more
authority IL It is to prove effective.
The United States is in position to
compel real concert Of plan and ac
ton, and to play a part second to none
in directing the policies Of the allied
council. 1t may be said, without any
immodesty. that the United States from
now on will be the chief factor In the
war We have the wealth, the food
the materials. the labor, the industries
the man-power and the moral purpose
without which our allies could not hope
for success.
Our government may now press more
successfully its request. made long ago
that our allies systemize their finances
and agree among themselves as to their
respective war needs, so that we may
help them more intelligently. And hav'
ing accomplished that, we may soon
proceed to exercise larger influence in
the actual conduct Of the war.

THAT RUSSIAN" REVOLT.

Most Americans have recognized that
the counter.revolution in Russia WAS
OF German inspiration. But few have

that their Russian names are mere

The mere repetition of these names
shows up the trick. What purporteo
to be a veritable Russian movement for
peace. springing out of the heart OF
the great Slav nation, is seen TO De
Prussian camouflage Of a typical sort.
II was merely one Of the kaiser S
MANY attempts to win by lies and brib-
cry what he could not win by honest
fighting. 1t was quite in keeping with
the trickery practiced simultaneously
on the Italian front by which the itai-
ian troops on the sector where Ger
many meant to strike were lured INTO
fatal friendliness by German SOCIALIST
decoys and forged newspaper editions.
over and over again the lesson Is
driven home. Germany today Is filling
the world with treachery and lies. NO
body but a fool will put faith in any
thing emanating from Berlin until the
brutal and perfidious rule OF the
Hohenzollerns Is overthrown.

TRICKS IN U-BOAT FAILURE,

Any phase Of the German war IL to
be viewed with suspicion until all the
facts are known. The recent remarka'
BILE decrease Of allied shipping losses Is
no exception. 1t may be mistake to
conclude Immediately. as so many corn
mentators have done. that the German
submarine has already come TO deti'
mite and humiliating end.
There is indeed plenty Of ground for
optimism In the recent figures. They
harmonize with all the other evidence,
accommodating through many weeks.
that the U-boats cannot do what was
expected Of them. that the allies are
meeting the menace. that the Germans
themselves are beginning to recognize
their inevitable failure. But the fig
ures do not necessarily mean that they
have failed so suddenly and spectacu-
larly as they appeared to have done
last week.
II is possible that the German adj
miralty has purposely eased up In It's
submarine campaign temporarily. In
order to lure enemies and neutrals in

Care Should Be Used in Brooding.

Without question more chicks are
lost yearly by carelessness or wrong
management in brooding than any
other cause. The little birds require
care to a greater degree during the
first two months OF their existence
than at any other period. II suffi-
Gent warmth is lacking, they get diar-
rhoea, and it may commence from
this cause between four days and
two months. The degree of heat
should not be so high at two weeks
or older as at two days OF age, for the
reason that they get more fat on their
bodies, increase OF feathers and more
vigor to withstand a reasonable
amount Of cold as the weeks go by.
There are three distinct kinds OF or
ganisms OF white diarrhoea, so called.
They are bacterium puliorum or bacil-
larry white diarrhoea, intestinal cocci-
diosis and aspergiIlus fumigatus. The
first results from the yolk assimilated
in the last stage of hatchirg being af-
fected from the mother hen. Intestinal
coceidiosis is brought about by wrong
management, mostly by lack OF right
warmth. Where one case is inherited,
there are fifty to one hundred cases
caused through lack of warmth. In ad-
dition, the cases that are inherited,
show by symptoms inside of four
days, mostly around the second day.
The symptoms in general are droop-
ing head and refusal to eat. The chicks
peep plaintively, stand still bumped up
as if chilly. They have very scsnty
excavations because of inability to eat,
and what do show of these are white,
sticky and sometimes slightly soil the
feathers at rear. No droppings should
stick to the feathers at rear OF any age
bird if health is normal,
AS the disease progresses the af-
fected chicks appear short-backed
and big-bellied. In ZONE cases the
little birds die with but little warning,
ip others they may last a long time
while showing most or all Of the
symptoms mentioned,
The third type Of so-called white
diarrhoea under the right name of as
pergillus fulnigatus, shows symptoms
very much like the foregoing, but

Shipping Matching Eggs.

There Is nothing much more dis
couraging than to receive hatching
eggs which have been badly handled,
poorly packed and partly broken.
Taking each egg and wrapping il in
excelsior and packing In well-eon-
structed box or basket is the safest
way for shipping eggs, A layer Of ex-
celsior should be placed in the
bottom of the container and
each egg wrapped with excelsior,
and the eggs laid in rows until the
bottom is covered. Another layer of
excelsior is placed over these and the
second tier put on. Excelsior should
be well packed around the outside in
order to prevent those eggs along the
outside from breaking by coming IN
contact with the wall of the con,
tanner Baskets can be procured from,
basket factories very eheaply. A
three-setting size basket with COW
ers costs about rs cents a dozen.
Bushel baskets, which will hold
100 eggs, can be bought for 81
per dozen. This is about the cheap
est container for the shipping OF
Matching eggs known to the writer.
There are metal crates on the mar
ket which sre very servieeable, but
need to be returned TO the shipper,
owing to the expense OF the carton.
Common shayings make excellent In
sulator for the protection Of eggs,
providing the shavings are fine
enough. 1t is . good plan at all times
to wrap the eggs In paper. to pre-,
vent the entrance of any bacteria and
also to minimize evaporation. Tissue
paper Is best used for this purpose.

Successful Breeder Outlines Methods

One breeder who is very successful
in getting eggs during most of the
year gives the following interesting
account of her methods:
1--WE breed rose-comb Rhode Island
Reds. ! started by buying eggs from
fancier who made it business to
breed up laying strains. Ny effort
was to get males for my flock which
were selected from winter layers. |
have had very good results.
1--WE have three hen houses; they
are free from draft, but there Is plenty
of ventilation. Everything is ar
ranged for convenience. The drop
ping boards are cleaned every day i'll
the winter and three times week in
the summer. AS / keep birds pri-
marily for utility, do not keep hens
more than 2 years old. ! keep the
drinking vessels sweet and clean by
scalding them twice week. In cold
weather l always keep warm water
before the birds and it Is surprising
how much they drink.
my feeding methods are very sim
pie. In the morning feed three gal
Ions of SKINNED milk and scatter
grain in deep litter so they get sufi-
cient exercise. About II o'clock |
scatter one gallon Of small potatoes
cut up fine. At l o'clock ! give a
mash consisting of FIVE pounds bran,
three pounds shorts, a handful of salt
and one cupfui OF charcoal, scraped
fine. If I can get suitable meat let
them have it about three times a
