New York, Jan. 2o.-Insofar as
the past weeks markets give any
indication of the financial outlook,
they suggest inability to discover.
as yet, the signs of business re-
covery, but give a more hopeful
view of Europe's economic situa-
ton. Absence of signs of industrial
revival (not at all unusual at this
time of year, was reflected in the
refusal OF the investing public to
follow professional spectators in
bidding for industrial stocks, with
a consequent halt to the rise of
prices for such shares. Favorable
judgment of European finance was
reflected, as it usually is, in the for
eign exchange market.
The reaching Of $4.25 by sterling
exchange, as compared with its pre-
vious low level of $3.l8, was an
event Of some significance. There
are many ways of looking at the
foreign exchange market--as reflect
ing favorable or unfavorable for
c.gn trade balance of given coun-
try, tor instance. or as reflecting the
status of depreciation in its currency
or, less specifically, as reflecting de-
terioration or improvement in such
country's economic and political
situation generally.
Slow to Grasp Facts.
-
has shown on numerous occasions it's
power to foreshadow the course Of events
in such matters. Most people have been
SLOW in recognizing these facts, which Is
the only way to explain why Wall street,
at the very time when the great recov-
cry in exchange rates on such countries
as England. France, Belgium and Italy
was under way last autumn, was talking
OF imminent economic ruin for all Europe.
Apparently the publics eye was fixed
upon exchange rates on Germany, Aus
tria and the other central European coun-
tries-rates which were moving rapidly
in the opposite direction. Yet 1t was
no new experience for exchange to be
moving in favor Of one country or group
Of countries while it was moving against
another, and it was no new experience
for the financial situation of one group
to be improving while that Of another was
retrograding. f
Agree on Three Things
year ago people OF 1nteLngence VINO
discussed the affairs OF the late European
beligerents, agreed that their economic
recovery required three things--the re-
duction of the huge balance Of merchan-
disc trade against them. serious at
tempt to balance their own budgets and
reduction OF their paper money. Some
people said teven a secretary Of the
treasury limited at 1t three years ago) tina:
they ought to settle someerof their Ameri
can debt by shipping gold. though. gener
ally that was regarded as impossible.
Yet the European nations outside the
central states have done ,itj, several hun
dred millions Of gold have come to US
this past year, for their account, and
they have also been meeting during the
Fast IL months the other three stipula
tions in regard to action on their trade
balances and budgets and their currency
What there has been accomplished in
these respects by England, France and in
n measure by Italy, is only thGsprelim-
mary step. but long step In the right
direction. al q

PERSISTENTLY RR00OY HENS
POOR BREEDERS
Applying Leg Bands When Putting
Lazy Ones In c0Ops Shows 'em Up
Mt End OF Season

A method used by poultrymen to
make sure that hens that go broody
a number of times during season
are not used for breeders is to put
a celuloid leg band on the birds each
time they go broody, saws the state
agricultural college at ithaca. 1t will
be found that some hens go broody
several times during the season while
others of the same breed and strain
do not stop laying at all. Those
hens that have four or five bands on
their legs at the end of the laying
season should not be used as breed
ers. Most of them are not even worth
saving another season as layers, the
college says.
LOSE on BROODY ONES
Figures collected by poultry special
lists show that it costs eighteen to
twenty cents month to feed hen
A hen that averages eighteen eggs a
months more than pays her way, even
when eggs are cheap. Those that
go broody often are not profitable.

HOUSING POULTRY
Address Of o. NJ. Wilbur, Poultry
Specialist, L. OF VI. Extension Ser
vice nj Farmers Week

There are three prime essentials
necessary in any poultry house to
make the house satisfactory for lay
ing hens. These three essentials are
comfort, cot, and convenience. Of
these comfort is the most important
because hens are kept under artificial
conditions and we also wish to pro-
duce eggs out of the natural season.
Therefore to get eggs during the fall
and winter months it is necessary to
make the birds comfortable. The first
quality in bringing about comfort is
70 make the house dry. Dampness is
the most detrimental factor in any
poultry house. The moisture may
come from the surrounding air. from
the lroil, or from the birds themselves
through their breathing. Moisture
from the air is only troublesome when
houses are situated on low land where
there Is, poor air circulation. In many
houses it. is frequently the case that
The floor becomes damp and 1t is i'm
possible to keep the litter dry. There
may not be any frost or dampness on
he roof or walls. This condition is
usually brought about by the fact that
the house is too close to the ground.
To overcome this soil moisture or
damp floors it Is advisable to have the
house foot or more from the ground,
and it should not be banked but left
open, thereby allows for air circula
ton underneath and preventing rats
from entering.
Another factor contributing to COM
fort is ventilation to rid the house of
moisture and poisonous gases given
off in breathing. This ventilation is
obtained without a draugh through
what is known az the open-front. This
opening should be in the south side
Of the house and is of a size equal
to one-tenth of the floor space. This
opening IL covered with a burlap or
muslin curtain during cold nights and
southerly Storm. Sunshine is very
beneficial to hens but too much glass
is detrimental because of its prOduc-
ing extremes in temperature between
day and night. About four square
feet of floor space should be allowed
per hen.
Hens do not need an expensive
house; one Which is dry and free from
draughts Is all that is needed, The
cost of the house will depend upon the
kind of lumber used and the amount
of hired labor.
The house should be so built and
the fixtures so arranged that it will be
convenient to care for the birds and
easy to clean. This arrangement Will
have much to do with the time neces-
sary each day to care for the birds.
The most convenient systems seems
TO be to arrange the nests along the
wall at one end of the hou'e and the
feed boxes along the other and 1S to-
90 inches from the floor, leaving the
entire floor free for the birds.
