INVEST IN j. S.,
IS ADVICE Of
BR|T0N
BY w. s. COUSINS

NEW YORK, April 14.-That
the United States and Canada
offer a safer and more attractive
field for the investment of funds
Of British investors than the Sc
curities of English industrial COM
panies is the conclusion Of one Of
the most prominent London finan-
cial experts.
The results Of a special study
of worldwide economic conditions
have been, given in confidential
report to investors in the British
financial center. in an effort to
devise for them an investment
policy that will stand the test Of
time.
After an exhaustive survey Of
the whole situation. this London
financial expert has arrived at the
following conclusions:
Dollar Strongest
/. That the American dollar is
the strongest currency In the
world, and that dollar securities"
are, therefore, the most SubStan-
tial form of investment under the
sun.
2. That the shares of almost all
British industrial companies
operating at home should be sold.
particularly the stock Of the older
companies.
8. That. because of the eco
Iaonaic. political and climatic ad
vantageS of the United States
and Canada, a very large proper
ton of available investment funds
should be invested there, instead
Of "at home"
Common Stock Best
4. Common stocks, rather than
bonds with fixed interest pay
ments, should now be preferred
by investors looking to the future.
5. Government bonds and other
bonds Of almost all the financially
weaker countries Of the world
should be sold.
s. Stocks of corporations han,
ding commodities should be
avoided because Of the ptobabil
ity of continued declines In com.
modify prices.
This London expert is frankly
peSSimistic over industrial condi-
tions in England. Industrial
prosperity, there, he concludes. is
much more than temporarily de-
pressed. England. he says. has
failed to keep up with the in
duStrial procession, and her in
duStrieS are handicapped with
antiquated plants. small indus
trial units, bad management and
a high wage level.
Don't Need England
Other countries have developed
the requisite raw material,
trained labor, ETC., for which
they formerly depended upon
England, and having developed
their industries, have protected
them with high tariff walls. For
these reasons he despairs of Eng
lands regaining her industrial
leadership.
The fall in stock prices last
October and November has not
destroyed, or even modified, the
American preference for "equi-
ties" Common stocks) of fa-
vored industrial. railroad and util.
ity corporations, according to
this survey. With q downward
trend in interest rates and, there
fore, in the income return from
fixed investments, it is believed
that good stocks will continue to
attract the surplus funds Of In
dustries rather than bonds.
The big problem will be to
find stocks for investors rather
than investors for stocks" On
that basis he sees q sustained
rise in prices Of American COM
mon stocks. .,

Cattle Require Shelter
for Profitable Results

More shelter for fattening cattle
against winters cold is urged by
w. II. Peters, chief of the division
of animal husbandry of the Univer-
sity of Minnesota.
Many Minnesota farmers who
fatten cattle on grain through the
winter months feed silage and
grain in hunks and hay in racks out
in the open in all kinds of weather.
Sufficient shelter in many cases is
provided only when the cattle are
not feeding.
Mr.. Peters believes that the low
er gains than usual reported by
many feeders last winter were
to be attributed to the practice of
feeding outdoors, especially in
times of severe cold that charac-
terized January. February, and
early March of the present year.
"a check-up on a few feeders
leads to the conclusion" he says,
that those who fed under shelter
obtained better gains than did
those who fed out in the open. This
is a matter that is we'll worth con-
sideration on the part of the cattle
feeder. 1t is highly probable that
a little money spent in the summer
for arranging sheds for indoor
feeding in the future will pay
worthwhile profit"

In Wintering Breeding
Geese Watch the Feed

1t is not the lack of exercise di-
rectly that causes trouble in win
tering breeding geese. Exercise Is
probably slightly beneficial, but
lack of it does not entirely account
for lowered vitality. health and fer
tility. The common feeds for win
tering geese are almost entirely
farm grains, corn, wheat, oats and
barley. Little else is commonly
fed. When the ground Is bare or
nearly so they will supplement such
a ration by means of grass, dead
and partly dead, and hay leaves
and stems if allowed around the
barns and feed-lots. Given no
chance at legume hay, they will
strip off and eat the more tender
leaves of corn fodder.
Geese are normally foraglng
fowls, making the bulk of growth
and gain from grass and other
green feed.

PL\\ILTRy
HUNGRY HEN IS
NOW PREFERRED
Last of Feed Consumed Fills
the Egg Basket.

The hen without an appetite is a
shirk in the poultry flock. 1t is
that last 10 or 20 per cent of feed
that the hen consumes which fills
the egg basket, while all the rest
is used to maintain the bird, de-
clares r. e. Cray, extension spe-
ciallst in poultry for the Ohio State
university.
The trick in forcing birds to lay
more eggs is in the inducing them
to eat more feed. Cray has five
suggestions for boosting feed con-
sumption by fowls in their winter
quarters. These are:
Use artificial lights during the
winter months so that the hen Will
have more time to eat. However,
if feed consumption is not in
creased, lights are of no benefit.
Feed the largest part of the
grain at night. This has tenden-
cy to keep the birds hungry during
the day and they consume more
mash. And feed the grain in hop
pers rather than in the litter.
Provide a sufficient amount OF
mash-hopper space, one foot for
five or six birds. There are al
ways timid birds in the flock that
won't eat unless there is plenty of
hopper space.
Feed fresh mash every day.
When the hOppers are filled with a
sufficient quantity to last several
days, the hens pick it over and eat
what they like best; when they
reach the leavings, feed consump-
ton and egg production both
slump.
Use a wet mash. Just as boy
will eat more bread when there is
jelly on it, so will hen eat more
mash when it is molstened with
milk. Feed mash the same time
each day.

REGISTERED RAM
WILL PAY HIGH
Wool and Meat Produced
Are Always Profitable.

If you have not yet secured
flock ram, it is high time that you
did so, says a writer in an eX-
change. OF course you would not
use anything but a registered ram,
and it is even more necessary in
time like this that you have good
ram. Good pure-bred rams are
much more profitable than scrubs,
and in the days of off color prices
we need all the profit possible. Thls
is a good time to weed out the
scrubs and keep the good ones.
good sheep will not eat any more
than a scrub, yet the wool and lamb
produced are more valuable by far.
Always build up the flock by using
q ram that is superior to your
ewes. Breed tha best ewes to the
best ram, if moe than one is used,
and instead of getting a long-legged
ram for small ewes and short
legged ram for big ewes, get
thick, square ram of ideal breed
type for all the ewes, because If
ram comes from a firSt-clasS breed
er he will be prepOtent enough TO
stamp his individuality on all of his
lambs from any kind of a eve. And
right now you should grasp the i'm
portance of getting a ram with
something back of him via good an
cestors. A lot of people don't
stress that point strong enough. Be-
cause some one prices you ram
cheap, and he happens to be a pure
bred, you think you are saving
money by getting him $40 or SO
cheaper than a good one. Nothing
is further from the truth. Don't
forget that in sheep as in automo-
biles you get what you pay for.
The really good rams cost more to
breed and are worth more.
The Coolidge examiner., 1930-12-26
Get Fertile Eggs

Most of the eggs are fertile with
in five days after a male bird is
placed with the females, but it is
better to mate the pens two to four
weeks before one wishes to save
eggs, so that the birds may become
accustomed to their new quarters
and to each other. In case another
male has been with the flock before
putting a new male in, one cannot
be sure the eggs will all be fer
tilted by the new male until at
least three weeks have elapsed.
The Coolidge examiner., 1930-12-26
POULTRY NOTES

VigOr should be the first consid-
GRAFTON in breeding for egg produc-
tion.
Sprouted oats, fed to growing
chickens when green feed is scarce,
will prevent nutritional roup, or
A-VitaminOsis.
On most farms turkey raising
has become a gamble. So much so
that turkeys are becoming extinct
in many sections.
Eggs not more than eight days
old are best for Matching. Those
held longer than one week are
scarcely safe to use.
Artificial lighting to increase egg
production, at least during the sea-
son of high prices, Is fundamen-
tally sound and has great potential
possibility.
Promiscuous breeding is always
unsound, and is one of the COM
monest causes of a rapid retroac-
ton from a high producing flock to
q mediocre one.
Eggs for Matching should be
fairly uniform in size and shape.
Eggs that are very large or very
small, misshapen, checked, or very
bloody should not be set.
Lights make it possible to carry
early hatched pullets through the
first fall and winter production
period with much less mOlting than
when lights are not used.
Hens kept for breeding purposes
can be hastened back In production
by limited use Of lights from Janu-
ary Is until March without any
anparent effect on hatchability of
eggs.
The most important thing in
breeding for egg production is to
identify the good producers that
have the ability to produce good
LAYERS and use their blood in the
flock.
When is a hen old? For laying
purposes a pullet becomes an old
hen with her first moult. With the
first and each succeeding moult
hens capacity for laying eggs de-
creases directly in proportion to
the number of moults in her life
cycle

Most Satisfactory Feed
Outlined for Fall Pigs

In a feeding experiment con-
Quoted at Purdue university, ra-
ton of corn and soy beans did not
prove adequate for fall pigs that
had to be grown in a dry lot. The
addition of other types of protein,
such as fish meal, tankage or al
falfa meal. gave good results when
mineral was also fed. The most
satisfactory ration for fall pigs was
one of corn, tankage. alfalfa meal
and linseed oilmeal. The work
with soy beans in swine rations is
being carried further to learn as
much as possible about their feed
ing value.

LIVE STOCK FACTS

Every farmer should produce at
least meat for his home use.
Use the purchased feeds and
save the homegrown grains for
later use.
Hogs need a lot of water and
will show their appreciation through
increased gains.
Homegrown feeds are usually
the most economical and should
furnish the basis of the ration.
Too high a percentage of corn
or barley and too low a percentage
of protein feeds are common errors
in feeding.
Size and quality of the pig crop
next fall will depend in large
measure upon the care and feed
given brood sows this winter.
Plenty of salt, wood ashes, tank
age and alfalfa or clover nay, In
addition to the regular corn feed, is
a mighty good layout to insure a
good crop of strong healthy pigs.
The nut-like flavor developed in
cooked soy beans not only appeals
to the palate of particular porkers
but increased nutritive value Is re-
f1ected in faster growth and cheap
er gains.
A thing worth bearing in mind
is the trend of market demand is
for the highly finished lightweight
"baby beef" of the yearling class,
weighing from 800 to 1000 pounds
finished"
Human beings like to drink ice
water, but live stock prefer warm
water. Dairy cattle and poultry
will maintain normal production if
provided with water of the correct
temperature.

Each worker carried a portfolio
