FINANCES AND MARKETS
Republican A. Leased Wire1


 NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-Disregard ing the contradictory tenor of for eign advices, maintenance of the six per cent call money rate and a new loW record for one of the Liberty issues 'today's, languid stock market gradually sought higher levels, sub ject, however, to intermittent pres- sure.
 Pools resumed their activity in a number of speculative specialties, but il. general, dealings fell below recent averages, both as to volume and number of issues quoted. The rail- road situation, with its enforced cur tailment of industrial operations. ex- erted little adverse influence, al though rails made less upward progress than any other division of the active list. Leading steels, equip mei.ts, coppers and Mexicans made extreme gains of l to points, with motors, tobaccos and shippings. Final quotations were mostly at highest levels of the day, United States Steel closing at 91Ss, a net gain of 1ss. Sales amounted to 3S5,000 shares.
 Liberty second fours fell from s96.26 to the new minimum of s9610
 First fours were quoted at $97.4C to s96.9O and the 312's at s9S.70 to $9S.50. Total sales, par value, az gregated s4,725,0O0.
 United States bonds, old issues were unchanged on call.

GRAIN

CHICAGO, Jan. 1e.-Corn averaged lower today mainly as a result of pro- posed broad new measures to hasten the crop movement. Peace talk was also a bearish factor. The market closed unsettled. s1.27Ss January and s1.243s to s1.241s for May with the final range varying from !. to 3sc de- cline to 1sc advance, compared with A hours before. Oats lost Is to F.
 Provisions closed irregular, all the way from z off to a rise of 9 cents. Announcement that a comprehensive plan was being urged for a railroad executive to handle corn shipments only and that the purpose especially was to facilitate liberal hauling of corn within the ensuing three or four weeks led to a substantial drop in corn prices shortly after trading be- gan. Peace gossip likewise favored the bears during the initial dealings, but received much more general atten- tion in the last hour after the market had shown a temporary disposition to rally because of reports that railroad endeavors were being confined chiefly at present to meeting the urgent need of coal.

STOCK LETTER By R. Allyn Lewis

Railroad congestion. shortage of coal, consequent curtailmeI.t of in dustrial output has brought selling to the market.
 The market is very limited and there should not be much liquidation. The railroad situation is settled. Re duced earnings of industrials are dis counted by the present price. Among well posted people there is a stroLr feeling that peace is near. Easier money conditions and a special in terest are likely to give us a better market. Whenever the feeling be- comes hopeless the way it is now, prices recover. Two weeks aEs everybody was very optimistic with the market ten points higher.
 The most important incident of the day was the new low record estab- lished for the Liberty 4's.
 This was manifestly further prep aration for the third Liberty loan.
 The only question is to whether so large an issue as is proposed could be sold at par. carrying AZ per cent, or whether the rate would have to be raised to 4ia per cent
 A leading banking institution i, reported in well informed circles to have been buying Crucible Steel Dividends may be near for Crucibls common, now that the back divi- dends have been paid off on the pre- ferred issue. Speculative channels of great influence seem to think Cruci- ble presents a big speculative op- portunity on this setback.
 Current earnings are more thar equal to the present price of ths stock and huge additions have beer made to equities from great earn. ings irt the past two years.
 Don't overlook C. & O. They will show for 1917 almost Il per cent or stock.
 Under present conditions it pays per cent and any change will be for higher dividend. It looks a great bargain.
 Equipment stocks stronger on rumors that orders would be placed for railroad equipment by director general

commonly supposed to be the charac-
teristics of egg type. Large size and
an indolent temperament are supposed
to be characteristics of the meat type,
and medium size without either
marked energy or great Incidence are
supposed to be the characteristics of
the mediocre dual-purpose type. While
this, in a general way, is true, there
are exceptions, as can be noted in the
accompanying tables. These tables
show that egg production and meat
production are not entirely n simple
matter of size, weight and temporal
ment. Table No. 1 is a list of we'll
known standard breeds grouped ac-
cording to their general type. Table
No. 2 is a list of the same breeds ar
ranged in the order of their weight,
beginning with the smallest.
There is a wide range of individual
differences among the standard breeds,
some strains of a particular breed
being better suited for egg production
than meat. and vice versa.
Good physical development. vitality,
constitutional vigor, a good digestive
system, docility and ruggedness and
stability of function in the reproduc-
tive organs are the distinguishing
characters and traits of dependable
good layers.
The existence of all these, however,
is not enough to insure good laying.
There must, of course, be reasonably
good management, wen If the keeper
has not special skill. But if with these
qualities which make for continual lay
ing there exists a tendency to put on
fat whenever laying is interrupted.
only unremitting skillful management
to keep a hen in good laying condi-
ton will make her a first-class egg
producer.
The egg type or laying type of hen,
In any breed, is the hen hat with the
qualities that make for good egg pro-
duction has no quality which is an
obstacle to continual laying. The
meat type is not the converse of the
egg type, wen though the hen that
is not a good layer is fit only for meat.
Meat Type Grows Rapidly.
The meat type, in all kinds of poul-
try, is the type that grows rapidly and
ut maturity carries abundant flesh,
especially where the preferred parts of
the meat are produced. The most de-
sirable meat type is rather fine in
bone, with the frame well knit but
not too compact. Under any kind of
good management a hen of this type
that is in normal condition will be a
good layer. She may not lay any bet
ter than a hen not quite so well
fieshed, but she ought to lay just as
well, and when the time comes to
make meat of her she makes more and
better meat, and as a breeder she nat
urally tends to reproduce offspring
that will make more and better meat.

vantages.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Some farmers favor hog wallows
others are strongly opposed to them
Filthy hog wallows are n source OF
danger. Hogs wallowing in or drink
ing contaminated water are likely to
contract disease. However, there are
many advantages to be derived from
wallows. A cool bath is very cool
ing to a hog during the hot weather
1t cleans the scurf from the skin and
protects the hogs from flies. Crude pc.
troleum, sufficient to form a thin layer
on top of the water, may be poured
into the wallow about every ten days
from lice and other skin parasites. II
the skin becomes irritated from the
oil, It's use should be discontinued.
Small quantities of coal-tar dip are
sometimes added to the water in hog
wallows, but there is an element Of
danger in this practice, as poisoning
may result from the absorption of
phenol by hogs which lie in the wal.
low more or less continuously.
On some of the larger hog farms
wailows are becoming popular. The
cement hog wallow should be located
in n shady place and made so as to
contain from eight to ten inches of wa
ter. A two-inch drain pipe, as recon-
mended for the dipping vat, should be
placed in the bottom of the wallow to
permit its being cleaned out.
In many cases n farmer is not fnan-
cially able to build n hog wallow or a
dipping vat. If this be the case. the
dip, properly diluted, can be applied
with a spray pump or sprinkling can.
0r else rubbed on every part of the
body by means of a brush or a swab
of cotton waste.
Another method of controlling lice
is to tie gunny sacks or similar coarse
cloths around a post at a proper height,
so that the hogs may rub against them,
and saturate the sacks frequently with
crude petroleum.

Economy and Efficiency Are Key

ton of Chickens.
GULL FLOCK While GROWING
Skillful Use of Stock Supplemented

More Meat and Eggs-Tabie

In wartime economy and efficiency
are the keynotes of poultry produc-
ton. The poultry keeper must save
feed and at the same time increase
poultry production. 1t is not the high
cost of feed alone. since America en-
tered the war, that has led to more
careful attention to the routine work
of keeping poultry and to greater pro-
duction and skill in feeding. The
saving of money has been an incentive,
but above and beyond that every poul-
try keeper realizes that getting better
production from less feed is doing
double duty in conservation and pro-
duction.
The first result of the wartime con-
ditions was to emphasize afresh and
more effectively than ever the bene-
fits of graded selection of breeding
stock and severe culling of the young
stock while growing. When this is
practiced together with good poultry
management the feed bill is reduced
but the production of eggs is main
tanned and eve increased in some
cases.

If the producers of eggs and poultry
for the table are doing their utmost to
Increase production of meat and eggs,
the easiest, shortest and surest way is
through general use of the most pro-
ductive types, that is, by the use on
the part of every poultry keeper of
the most productive types of his stock.
1t Is not meant that there should be n
wholesale replacement of ordinary
stock by stock or strains celebrated
for extreme high production. In some
cases this may be done to advantage.
but with the majority Of poultry keep
ers immediate gain in production must
be made by good use of such stock as
they have.
Get Understanding Of Type.
The first step toward the increase of
poultry products-whether meat or
eggs-through the use of the types best
suited to production, is to get a cor
rect understanding of type. Three dis
tinct types are recognized-the egg
type, the meat type and the dual pur-
pose or general purpose type, which is
commonly considered as an inter
mediate of the other two, though in
reality II is the primary type of which
the others are notifications.
