NAL industry.
Many bulletins are available dealing
with various phases of poultry raising,
any of which may be had free upon
application to the division of publ
cations, United States Department of
Agriculture. In addition to the regu-
lar bulletins there are a number pre-
pared especially for boys and girls
clubs and for persons beginning he
poultry business without much knowl-
edge of its requirements. A list Of
these may he had upon application to
the same division.
At the departments experiment
farm at B%eltsville, Md, various ra-
tons are being fed to hens to study
their effect. For example. in one ex
pertinent the hen balances her own
ration in another fish meal is includ-
ed In mother no wheat or wheat
products are used: while cotton-seed
meal replaces a part of the beef scrap
in another. Comparisons are also made
of the effect Of the same ratlons on
hens of the egg breeds as compared
with those Of the general-purpose
breeds. Only simple rations of widely
available feeds are used.
Hens In considerable numbers are
being trap-nested, and matings made
to determine the possibilities of differ
ent methods of breeding in increasing
or fixing egg production. Matings to
fix certain types Or characters de-
sired in the 1ocks also are made. No
birds are retained in the flock which
have a disqualification that would
bar them under the rules Of the
American Standard Of Perfection.
The results being obtained indicate
that 1t Is possible to combine utility
and standard breeding to a practical
degree. Any of this information is
available for the persons requesting
it, and the department is eager to have
II used widely.
Boys and girls poultry clubs have
a wide influence In interesting the
children in raising chickens. and in
teaching them and their parents the
best methods Of handling poultry for
the production OF eggs and meat
The department is giving special at
tention TO improving the quality OF
market eggs with a view to oyercom-
ing losses estimated at many millions
of dollars annually. These studies
cover the production of eggs o n the
farm. and their handling from the
farm to the country store, The pro-
ductlon Of infertile eggs, which are

particularly attracted buyers, trading
IN the cattle market was of a slow and
draggy trend with "A weakened under
tone apparent. Most dealers We're re-

figures, but the movement was slow
and some sales showed a slight dis

Hogs.
All buyers seemed to be wanting
hogs. with quality ranking a little bet
ter than of late. Top was SS.25, which
was paid by packers for three loads of
choice hogs. Bulk ranged from s6.75
TO $500. and a few sales were made
between the latter figure and the top.
Heavy throwout hogs are quoted at
$3.50 to s5.75. with more desirable kinds
ranging between 1928 and $3.50.
Sheep.
The remainder were being held here
awaiting transfer to feed lots in other
parts of the country. Demand did not
seem as good as 1t has been for some
bids in a desultory fashion. Trading
reached the lowest ebb that II has seen
in some time. A bearish move was to
be noted in the bids of buyers, but in
spite Of the conditions statesmen were
receiving steady prices for their stock.
The small supply aided them mate

Country buyers were nearly as nu-
merous in the alleys as previously, and
inquiry for feeder stock was fair. but
the buyers were unwilling TO pay bet
ter than steady prices. and II took a
little. time for the traders to agree on
the basis OF exchange. Three cars or
Food feeders with a fat end sold at
$3.50. and rood grades were being
quoted at 1928 to $3.50. 4 load Of

1T PAYS TO BE AN oPTIMIsT
AMONG PESSlMISTS

If you want to make money in the
stock market it is pretty safe rule
to be optimistic when the average in
vestor is pessimistic.
No less an authority than John w
Gates was responsible for the stock
market axiom, Buy the steel stocks
when their production is low 1t is
our belief that this axiom can be ap-
piled to other industrial stocks. At
any rate, stock market history
teaches us that security prices are
invariably low when industry is slack
and, conversely, stock prices are
booming and at the high, or near it.
when business is very active.
Reverse the usual methods of the
public and buy during business de-
preston, such as exists today. and
hold your stock until the eventual re-
turn of prosperity brings with it
higher prices and legitimate market
profits. Take issues of staple merit
and great equity like l s Steel, Allis
Chalmers, Baldw:. Locomotive, Mi
ami. and White Motors, to name a
few. Stocks of this kind may safely
be held against the returning tide of
prosperity. To wait till such stocks
start to soar in real earnest is to miss
the best part of the advance, writes
