BROILING FISH

THE easiest way to prepare most
L sorts of fish is by broiling. Very
small fish such as trout which need
not be split open are then broiled first
on one side and then on the other.
Larger fish that have been split should
be broiled first ON the open side and
then on the skin side.
If you use gas stove for broiling
1t is convenience to have a folding
broiier of the sort that you would use
for coal stove. Lay the fish in this
and place over the gas broiler and
when time to turn all you have to
do is to turn the old-fashioned broiler
over without disturbing the fish.
When it is nicely broiled on both sides,
rest the broiler on platter and with
a knife first loosen the fish on one
side and then on the other and then

~ STORY
By THORNTON w. BURGESS

DCSTER BEAR had had no luck at
~ all in either his fishing or his wish
ing. He rather felt that this was a
contrary day, which means a day in
which everything goes just the wrong
way. 1t didn't occur to him that the
cOntrariness was in him, which it was.
If he hadn't persisted in keeping on
fishing when it was perfectly clear
that there were no fish in the little
pools of the Laughing Brook, he might
have found something else to eat and
had a pleasant, comfortable morning
instead Of one disappointment after
another which had neither filled his
stomach nor improved his temper. So
he had stopped to rest and grumble 10
his hearts content.
Right into the midst of his grum-
bling had broken angry screams, and
he had looked up to see King Eagle
trying to make Plunger the Fish Hawk
give up big, fat fish. OF course, they
were up in the air, and they were al
most over Busters head. He forgot
his own troubles and disappointments
in the excitement of watching Plunger

Dried Milk With Grain

Dried milk fed with grain rations
has about equal value for chicks as
whole liquid milk and is fed with less
loss and less danger of attracting flies.
A fiaky product rather than too fine
ly ground dried milk powder is prefer,
able. Meat scrap and dried skim milk
in combination with the standard Wis
consin chick ration is satisfactory, but
raw bone may then be omitted. But
when the liquid milk is used the raw
bone ought to be Observation-Disclosures

All-Year Layer Counts
on Poultryman's Books

The average hen eats rs to 30
pounds Of feed per year, according to
data kept on large flocks. The size
of the body counts some and heavy
layer will eat more than a poor layer.
but the poor producers don't eat
enough less to offset the difference
in the cost of keep" The hen that
lays no eggs at all through the winter
requires nearly as much, just for body
maintenance, as the one that lays just
enough to pay her way. The latter
may lay eggs enough during the spring
and summer to make her profitable to
keep, while the one that lays no eggs
during cold weather is not worth
boarding for half the year in order
to get eggs in the spring.
The only hens really worth keeping
are those that are able to lay all the
year except during the molting period.
Continual culling to eliminate poor
winter layers has very positive effect
on the yearly balance. - Nebraska

Its GLORY Departed

Mosul has a little-known link with
western vocabularies, says an article
in Boston paper. When the luxury
markets of Europe began to draw on
the resources Of the East, MOsul quick
ly earned fame through a special cam
brio Of finest lambs wool, which the
French christened Moussoul laine. It
is the modern muslin. and for cen
turtles the town rivaled Bagdad as a
great eastern trade depot; but today
it is in the doldrums.

Hens Paid Well

Hens last year paid Elmer Hanson,
Clary county, South Dakota, s2.32 an
hour for time spent on them. Mr.. Han
son kept a complete record which
showed that he devoted 400 hons to
caring for 334 high producing hens.
The flock returned 81. 160.7S above feed
costs. Mr.. Hanson's record shows that
even at low prices. eggs and poultry
still are money makers. The record
also revealed the most economical
methods and the feeds that give best
results.-Capper's Farmer.

Control of Worms

G. M. Ferguson, speaking on the con
troll of worms In chickens, the Ohio
Farmer reminds its readers, said con-
troll of parasites Is dependent on a
knowledge of the life cycle of the para
site and breaking this cycle. For this
purpose confinement, range rotation,
wire floors and cinder yards are bene-
fetal. Worm remedies, says Ferguson,
should not be used until one Is sure
that a flock Is infested. Treatment
should then be given according to the
kind of worm found.

CURED at the time of the muir
der of her husband, Major Rob:
ert Whitney Imbrie, consul at
Teheran, Persia. has been de-
manded Of the State Department
by Mrs. Katherine Imbrie, 1915
Sixteenth st. N. w.
The amount expended by Mrs.
Imbrie in settling the affairs of
her late husband and business of
the consulate was approximately
$700. And so far she has re-
ceived nothing but promises from
the State Department in payment.
Major Imbrie was murdered by
a mob of fanatical natives in July,
1924, and Mrs. Imbrie claims not
only was she compelled to pay all
expenses of cablegrams, ETC., in
notifying the United States Gov.
ernment but that she remained in
charge of the consulate from July
until August when Imbrie's sue
ceSSor finally arrived to take
charge.
If her last plea for action is
not effective, Mrs. Imbrie says
she will ask the District courts
for a writ of mandamus COM
pelling the State Department to
turn over to the office of the
Comptroller General all papers
and vouchers connected with the
case.

BAN ON SHORTS
APPEARS DIM

Congressional ardor for anti
short selling legislation had
cooled perceptibly today with
chances for action in the present
session doubtful.
The proposed sweeping Senate
investigation of stock exchanges,
already postponed twice, may not
get under wa. before next week.
With the House Agriculture
Committee about ready to report
a bill curbing short selling on
the grain and cotton exchanges,
the Senate Agriculture Commit
tee served notice of an inquiry
into the Farm oard and the
exchange.
Both investigations, it is pointed
out, will require several weeks.
With the session already on the
wane, little time may be left to
legislate before adjournment in
the summer.
The House Judiciary Commit
tee. after a hearing on anti-short
selling bills, has taken no action.

Swiss Worrying Over
Taxes Said to Aid
Foreigners

A tax policy in some Swiss
cantons favoring foreigners has
disturbed domestic serenity al
most as much as it has those
countries of origin whose
wealthy nationals are establish
ing residence in Switzerland.
These cantons are competing
for those central European cap
italiStS, who by one subterfuge
or another, have managed to
get sizable money bags across
their home land frontiers. Men
whose reputed wealth is many
millions of dollars are paying
taxes in Lucerne on a declared
revenue-producing capital of
100000.

PRICES FIRM UP
THOUGH STEEL
OUTPUT DIPS

NEW YORK, March 16 0.N.S0
Delays in Ford production have
slowed up other automobile manu-
facturerS to such an extent that
steel mill schedules have been
adversely affected, the Iron Age
says in it's weekly summary to-
day.
Recent mild expansion in re-
quirements of miscellaneous con-
SumerS has been insufficient to
offset lack of buying by major
Steel-consuming groups, and. lngot
production declined two points
this week to 25 per cent for the
country as a whole.
Sterilization Continues
The review states that price
sterilization in steel products,
however, is making progress.
Some mills have stated that quo
tationS made on specific projects
which are not acted upon by
March 81 will be withdrawn.
Contract customers will have
the privilege of specifying against
first quarter commitments until
the end of this month, but ship
mentS must be accepted in April.
Steel plant operations this week
declined at Pittsburgh, Wheeling,
Cleveland and in the valleys.
Chicago shows a slight improve
ment. while the eastern PennSyl-
vania, Buffalo and Birmingham
districts are barely holding at
last weeks rates.
Composite Unchanged
Sheet mill schedules are off to
less than Is per cent of capacity,
largely because of the lack of
automobile buying. Bar mills are
also operating at lower rates, and
tin plate production is down.
The Iron Age composite prices
are unchanged at 2.044c a pound
for finished steel, $14.48 a gross
ton for pig iron and 1925 a ton
for steel scrap.

NEW HOOVER AID
FOR STOCKS IS
EXPECTED
BY WALL STREET SPECTATOR


NEW YORK, March 16 GIN.
SO.-Wall Street, it's nerves
frayed by the Kreuger situation,
saw a few GHOSTS" on this side
yesterday, especially in the rails,
and sold stocks. 1t was interest
ing to see the way the list came
back at the clcsc, suggesting that
the reaction may have been at
least temporarily overcome. The
test should come in early trading.
Belief that there will be some
thing" from Washington soon is
strengthened by the fact that
the administrations efforts to aid
credit will be hurt by a further
drop in securities.
Watch Rails, Advice
With the solvency of Kreuger
& Toll questioned, it was natural
for traders to fish around and
raise this or that situation"
among holding companies.
It's all cid stuff, however. The
steps taken in Washington since
the first of the year to strengthen
the credit structure testified to
the need, and its unlikely that
the efforts will be abandoned, or
that situations that can be helped
will be left in the lurch. The
tape will tell the story, so watch
'em, especially the rails.
One interesting fact is that
none of the big European opera
tors have been going short here
in the last few days, and they
wouldn't turn up any chances,
either.
Some to Buy or Hold

mends Coca Cola, Corn Products,
