chickens, the latest food invention
to promote the, health of animals
and fowls, is gaining in usage
throughout the country, according

street northwest, who are handling
this product.
According to tests made. this
form of buttermilk has proven. an
invaluable aid to the farmer who
specaalizes In chickens and, pigs.
Results of feeding tests and actual
experience of feeders and breeders
have shown that buttermilk is OF
great value as a supplementary
feed for hogs and poultry.

Of many men and much equip

Some idea 81 the extent of the
business done by transportation
companies in the handing of puol-
try products may be cleaned from
the following. It is reported that
in the year 1920 the American Rail-
way Express Company paid 81, 267,-
600 In damage claims for eggs
broken IN transit.
PLEASURE AND PROFIT.
So mucfE for the business or
financial aspect Of the poultry in
.dustry. There is another phase Of
it which is important in these
hustling times when men and wom-
en- are working to the limit of
their physical and mental strength.
I refer to the pleasure to be gained
from making q hobby of poultry
breeding. -.
There u fascination about the
management and breeding of good
poultry which, to be appreciated,
must be experienced. No class. sex
or age has a monopoly in this: all
may join in the fun. A bit of land,
a simple coop, q few good birds and
ia little spare time are all that are
necessary. To give the interested in.
EdividuaE a. lot OF fun and relaxation
the year round. The. mating of the
breeding birds and the rearing OF
the young afford a series Of ex-
Eperiences. The poultry shows af.
ford all an opportunity to exhibit
their birds in competition with
others, and often the laborer takes
the prizes while the banker looks
on The showroom is the most
democratic place In the world and
the poultry fanciers are the salt OF
the. earth.
Notv,the least of the benefits to
be derived from keeping poultry
is it's effect upon the, health of the
poultryman. More and more atten-
ton is being paid to preserving the
health and increasing the efficiency
Of ours populat ton. Authorities urge
everyone, to take up some sport
which will divert the mind into
new channels. and insure rea.
sonable exercise in the open air. A
good flock Of poultry does just this,
So does the golf club and the coun
try club. But many of us cannot
spend the time or money required
to indulge In these. Most of us
cam however, keep few birds and
instead Of having to pay bills at
the club, find a bit of profit coming
to us in addition to the relaxation
and physical benefits secured.
THINK 1T OVER.
How big is the American hen?
Wipe out the American poultry
industry and you will have your
answer in the way of a serious
upset in agricultural and industrial
circles. She may weigh but four
pounds. but, everything considered.
she is one of the biggest things on
the map.

{ So, He'll Probably
Fight Better Than
Ever

sEW YORK, Sept. 11.-Crowd
biology, which was expected to

* Dempsey when he fought
orges Carpenter in Jersey City,
la which did not, hardly will be
Nv kind of an important factor
IN the champion S coming fight
with Luis Firpo, the South Ameri-
can giant.
The fight of neither boxer should
be affected by the attitude taken
or voiced by the spectators. Fir
po will not be able to understand
any verbal blows that might be
tossed at him from the house, and
Dempsey viii not give a darn if he
is given the razz.
Since he won the championship
by stopping Jess Willard in 1919 at
Toledo, nothing but the raucous
notes of the razz have been direct
ed at him. Stacker charges result
ing from what he did, or didn t do,
during the war and the heavy fin
aneial demands he eXacted for his
services have bade him intensely
Unpopular.
The fact is that he has been raz-
1ed every time he made his ap-
pearance in the ring. He was
thought SO little of by the people
around Shelby that the announcer
almost forgot to introduce him af-
ter he had devoted several minutes
to the glorification of Gibbons.
He was introduced second at
Jersey City and after hearing the
greatest ovation ever given TO a
foreign athlete in the United
States, he had to stand up under a
barrage of boos and jeers when he
was introduced as the American de.
fender Of the world s championship
Through, it all, Dempsey remain
ed unmoved. Stung terribly as he
must have been around the heart,
the champion went out and did his
stuff and even after winning it was
very little of a hand he ever got.
Many followers of boxing believe
that Dempsey will be the popular
lighter when he appears for his
,ut with F'irpo. The South Ameri-
has bee nheld up as :, penur-
individual, out for the money
ne. He hasn't the war record
It Carpenter had to endear him
to the professional patriots that
I'VE been maligning Dempsey and
perhaps the crowd will look upon
and support Dempsey as the Amer
can representative against a for.
eigner.
After recovering from the shock
that would attend a real good re-
ception, if he gets it, Dempsey
probably would fight as he never
fought before.

TRADE IN LISTED BONDSRESTRICTED

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.--Trading in listed bonds on the New York stock exchange was in somewhat reduced volume today due probably to two causes. The major influence un- doubtedly was the public offering of two large new issues, the American Telephone and Telegraph s100,000,000 51ss and the Province of Alberta, Canada, 515s. Both of these issues were quickly subscribed and the books closed. The fact that tomor- row is a holiday also tended to limit activities.
 Prices generally held firm, the sec ondary. railroad mortgages and pub lie utility piens, particularly finding fair buying demand. Investment bankers report many orders from the west for both the income and adjust ment railroad issues and the bonds of public utilities corporations.
 Some of the copper company bonds also responded to the more hopeful commodity market news, while oil company issues generally receded slightly.
 Few transactions were recorded in the foreign group, although number of French and Belgian issues showed declines The Liberty market dis played a firm tone, most of the ac- tive United States government bonds registering moderate gains on the day.
 Several small state and municipal issues are scheduled for public offer fig Wednesday, investment bankers announced, although the names oi the issues were not disclosed.

PROFIT TAKIN C NOTED ON CURB

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-Operators on the long side of the market continued their operations in today's curb mar ket but ran into considerable profit taking and short selling which was well absorbed, recessions in the ac- tive issues being limited to fractions.
 Activity of Mutual Oil on reports of its impending merger with Conti- mental Oil. was the feature of the oil list, the stock, however, closeed un- changed on the day. Southern States and Vacuum also were active, each registering small net gains.
 Establishment of new top at 70 by Glen Alden Coal was the feature of the industrial list. An odd lot of Ford Motors of Canada sold at 400, 22s4 points above the previous sale. Gillette Safety Razor gained points,
 Chief interest in the mining group again centered in the so-called penny shares, which showed mixed changes.
