Be Made To-day: Say
S'Ultimate Value'' of Sc.
curity Is Beyond Question

Members Of the firm Of J. P. Morgan
& Co. yesterday afternoon laid before

Of the company. An announcement of
Lhe results Of the conference will be
lnade to-day. II was said at the Morgan
oHlces thar II would be "uninportant."
l ne discussion was confined to the ).
OF which $3.50 5S5, 900 were issued unsle~
the date Of January !, 1919. and it wa
pointed out that they we're less affected
by the huctuating conditions of the
company than some of the other issues
because tney are secured by a first
Yen on the property OF the company.
One OF the bankers at the conference
in speaking of the bonds. said there Is
no question of the ultimate value of the
ponds and their ability to meet their
interest charges; it is merely a ques-
tlon of how and when.
After the meeting q reporter asked
whether 1t was likely that the Inter
borough Rapid Transit Company would
default on its interest on the 5s on
January next. and the bankers denied
nevlhg any information that Il would
""s oaiu tNat tHe company ls earn
ing more than the interest churpes ON

them; insure them against vefni'n
and disease. Give the chicks clean
start. 1t pays better than is popuIarly
supposed. If the buildings need re-
pairs, as most do, after coming
through the winter weather, make
them now, before the rush season is
on. Later you won't have time for
repair work, in which case here will
be cause for regret.
Incubators, too, should be gone
over, cleaned, disinfected and tested
before the seasons Matching is
started. To disinfect properly, re-
move all trays and other movable
parts: give them a good washing or
spraying with warm wate- contain
ing a disinfectant, AMI put them in
the sun to dry. Then wash or spray
the interior OF the machine.
Never use kerosene or any other
oil in the interior of An incubator, or
any liquid, in fact which does not
evaporate comparatively quickly
The fumes from a strong disinfe3ta,;t
may prove fatal to the embryo chicks
Test the accuracy of the incubator

with lamps and heating devices.

ford risks. And don't Gelay these
