THE DRY GOODS MARKET.

Any disposition on the part OF buy
ers to operate more freely at the low
er level OF prices In cotton goods
has been held In check by the unset
tied ruling of raw material and the
possibility that the declines in cotton
may lead to further price reyisions In
its products After estimates placing
sales OF print cloths at 10000 and
12O,O 900 pieces for the two preceding
weeks, the turnover OF only 10000 re-
ported for tho past week in the Fall
River markets seemed particularly
disappointing, while Western whole
salers reported both distribution and
fresh business running well behind
the same week last year. Perhaps the
declines In grain are having a SEN
timental effect on the goods business
in the Central West, but aside from
that consumers seem to be holding
off to see whether the cuts in the
price lists OF manufacturers and
wholesalers, will not find fuller
reflection at retail. Curtailment OF
production in the Fall River mills for
the week amounted to about 100000
pieces. 1t continues as heavy In vol
ume as IL was toward the end OF the
summer, and one effect 10 shown in
reports that more operatives of all
sorts are now available for employ
ment than needed. Curtailment at
New Bedford is reported the greatest
present production being estimated
by some authorities at only about 80
per cent Of normal.

The farm bureau Of Buchanan coun.
ty, Iowa, in cooperation with the In
dependence Commercial club and sim.
liar organizations throughout the coun-
ty, has created general fund
for the purpose Of advertising the
county as center Of purebred live
stock. A trade mark has been adopt
ed and electrotypes made and distrib.
uted broadcast.
Every piece Of business stationery
going out Of Independence Is to carry
this trademark. Each member Of the
farm bureau will be supplied with sta
tionery and envelopes bearing it. Five
thousand galvanized signs, IA by 26
inches, are being made and will be
posted on all roads leading into and
out Of the county, calling attention to
this organization with Its 1902 mem.
bers. Space has also been contracted
for in some Of the leading agricultural
papers in which this trade mark will
be carried.

made out of boxes about IL inches
square and to inches deep. An
ordinary orange box with partition
in the middle is suitable for this pur-
pose, each box providing two nests, the
top being removed, the box laid on Its
side, and a strip 3 or inches wide
nailed across the lower front. Ordi-
narily q 5-foot fence of poultry wire
is adequate, unless cats are bother
some, when occasionally it is neces-
sary to cover the top Of the yard, also,
with wire. If hens show tendency
to fly over the fence which has No
top, the flight feathers Of one wing
should be clipped.
Keeping Feeding Cost Low.
The city flock should be fed as
cheaply as Is possible and consistent
with the steady flow of eggs. All ia
BILE scraps, kitchen waste, leftover
vegetables, beet tops, turnip tops, car
rot tops, potato Feelings, onion tops,
watermelon and cantaloupe rinds cab
bage leaves, lettuce leaves, bread and
cake crumbs, and meat scraps are
keenly relished by the hens and should
be devoted to egg and meat produc-
ton. Usually it is necessary to pro-
vide some supplementary grain for the
use Of the backyard flock during the
winter, although some owners do well
without purchasing any grain at all.
This, Of course, depends largely on
the amount and variety of table wastes
available.
Often it is inadvisable to attempt to
renew the city poultry flock by hatch
ing and rearing chicks or by buying
and rearing day-old chicks. Previous.
experience in the raising Of chickens
usually increases the chances of sue.
cess. Generally the land available is
usually small in area and no attempt
should be made to raise chicks unless
plot Of ground can be provided sep
arate from that to which there Is grass
or where a supply Of green feed can
be furnished. Under average condi-
lions, where the yardage Is limited, It
IL preferable to Gull the hens as soon
as they have outlived their usefulness
and to replace them by well-matured
pullets In the fall.
Thus the keeping Of roosterless and
chickless flocks can be successfully
carried on and the ultimate purpose
Of all such docks satisned-the reduc-
ton Of living costs.

ESTIMATED YIELD OF HONEY
Crop o. United States Placed at e2.1
Per Cent on July I by Department
Of Agriculture.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
The honey crop Of the United States
was 92.1 per cent Of normal on July
!, according to the estimates Of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture. Reports to the bureau Of crop
estimates warrant the estimate that
the yield Of surplus honey per colony
was 25.8 pounds and that about one
half Of the annual product per colony
was realized by July 1. At the same
date in 1918, the estimated surplus
was 25.8 pounds and at about the
same date in 1917 1t was 1875 pounds,
The high condition Of 92.1 per cent Of
normal on July / this year compares
with s67 In 1918 and 1868 in 1917.

Every consumer who has sufficient
backyard space may reduce the high
cost of living to a certain extent by
maintaining small flock Of poultry.
The product Of such a flock, both in
the form of eggs and fowl for the ia
BILE, may be obtained at low cost be-
cause of the use of table scraps and
kitchen waste.
Ordinarily one of the general-pur-
pose breeds, such as the Plymouth
Rock, Wyandotte, Rhode Island Red,
or Orpington, Is preferable to the
smaller egg breeds, as the former fowl,
on account of their larger size, make
better table poultry, while the young
chickens, for the same reason, are bet
ter adapted as flyers and roasters.
However, if the consumer desires eggs
only, one Of the lighter egg breeds,
such as the White Leghorn, will be the
best for him to maintain. No matter
what breed is selected, it is advisable
to keep poultry only of some pure
breed or variety.
Number Depends on Space.
The size of the flock depends upon
the space available and the quantity
of table scraps suitable for feed. Do
not overstock and do not overcrowd
the yard Fowl do best where they
have plenty of room and sufficient
food For a flock of 20 or % hens, a
yard space of not less than 25 by 80
feet should be provided, as 20 to 80
square feet of yard space should be
provided for each bird.
It is advisable for city poultry keep
ers to procure well-matured pullets in
the fall, SO that they will begin to lay
before cold weather sets in. An mex
pensive, commodious, and comfortable
house should be provided, with 8 to 4
square feet Of floor space to the bird,
although some poultrymen report good
results where the allowance Is only
~ to 8 square feet. Often an un.
used shed or small building in the
back yard can be easily converted into
a chicken house. Satisfactory shell
tiers can be made from plano boxes or
packing cases by purchasing . small
quantity Of 2-by-4 or 2-by-3 lumber for
framing. The box boards can be used
for siding or sheathing, and then can
be covered by roofing paper.
Nests should be simple and may be

Table scraps and kitchen waste are
best prepared for feeding by running
them through an ordinary meat grind
er. After the material has been put
through the grinder 1t Is usually a
rather moist mass, and 1t is well to
mix 1t with cornmeal, bran, or other
ground grain until the whole mass as

al method is to feed the table scraps at
noon or at night, or at both times, as
may be desired. in trough or on a
board. All should be fed that the hens
will eat up clean, and II any Of the
material is left after one-half or three
quarters Of an hour 1t should be re-
moved. II allowed to lie 1t may spoil
and would be very bad for the hens.

IMPORT FRENCH THRIFT.

Spokane Spokesman Review: AM
orleans may well take a lesson from
French thrift. A recent official re-
port shows that Notwithstanding their
poverty and distress, the French peo-
pie are putting into the savings banks
a grea deal more than they are check
ing out. In 10 days, fro mthe 18th to
the goth of December, they deposited
34,000,000 francs and withdrew 4,OOO,-
900. From January to December the
surplus of deposits over withdrawals
was 9O7 ,0OO,O0O francs.
