CHICAGO, January 12.-Wheat
prices tended upward early today after
Gn irregular start. Reinstatement of
lines by sold out speculative bulls was
a factor, ard there were also indica-
tions of colder weather in the West.
Opening at 81 declinesto IS advance,
wheat later rose all around. Corn
started unchanged to a off and sub
sequently held near the initial limits.
One source OF price bulges in wheat
was the fact that the Oriental military
crisis acted as disturbing element, and
was generally regarded as likely to pro-
vide decided market strength at any
moment. Estimates that the Orient
had bought 81 600, 900 bushels of wheat
from Australia so far this season, about
25 per cent of the Australian total ex-
portable surplus, attracted considerable
notice. Another stimulus was continued
absence of rain in drought districts of
domestic Winter wheat territory.
Increased selling pressure on wheat,
however, appeared after moderate up
turns in prices, and the market at times
slipped down to below yesterdays finish
Some houses with Eastern connections
were conspicuous on the selling side. A
peculiar development was larger wheat
shipments from South Russian ports,
despite adviceS OF food scarcity in large
industrial centerS. Corn and oats were
governed mainly by, wheat action.
PROVISIONS reflected an upward trend
OF hog values.

FEDERAL BUILDING
PROJECTS PUSHED
Funds Obligated by Govern
ment Are Increased
During December.
BY CHAS. P. SCHAEFFER.
Associated Press Business Writer


Despite the absence of contracts for
emergency relief program construction,
funds obligated by the Government un-
der public building contracts increased
during December.
A statement showing the status of
the building program revealed that
1929, 1856, ,283 was under contract as of
December 81 out of the S492, ,682, Gil
regular program representing an in
crease of $1.000,000 during the month.
The period saw a net increase of six
in the number of Federal building
projects under way. Twelve We're COM
pleted at cost of $4,000 900 and con-
tractural agreements were awarded on
18 new projects. At the end of the
month a total of 419 buildings were
contracted for. in whole or in part.
A total of 28l of the 814 buildings
involved in the entire building program
had been completed on December 81,
involving expenditures of $98, ,233 ,069.
That the program is nearing compile
ton is apparent in the steady monthly
decrease in number and cost of the
projects still in the preliminary stages.
For instance. only 81 projects are still
in the drawing stage, involving $4,-
505,858
A total of 72 buildings are awaiting
bids or contract awards, involving eX-
penditureS of but $20,919. .359. A month
previously there were 86 projects, in
volving expenditures of S25.677,759.
It is expected that by next Spring
the 100000 600 emergency building
program under the emergency relief and
reconstruction act will get under way.

PROFESSIONAL TRADERS
OPTIMISTIC ON STOCKS

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 12.-The stock
market has had substantial advance
since the first of the year. A number
of stocks are selling higher than at any
time in 1882 and the list as a whole
at the opening today was at the high
of the movement.
The question arises how much farther
the rally can go without the benefit
of material improvement in business.
On that point it is sufficient to say that
professional opinion is optimistic. For
one thing it is said that stocks are only
following strength in bonds, which in
turn is founded on the great excess of
money available for investment. On
Tuesday, also. the stock market had the
support of the grain market, or vice
versa, as you choose.
1t is admitted by all that real rally
in commodities would help stocks. The
test will come when stocks meet realiz-
ing in volume. That has not yet
appeared because traders who bought
lower down are content to let their COM
mitments ride.

Warm Water for Cows

Members Of the Cedar Falls (Iowa)
Herd Improvement association made
certain that their cows were getting
water of modified temperature in or
der to maintain a maximum milk flow
at the lowest possible cost. Water
freezes at temperature Of only 80
degrees, but even in comparatively
mild winter weather, this is too cold
for the cows to drink four pounds Of
water for each pound of milk they are
capable Of producing, these dairymen
have found.
The cow tester reports that Of the
twenty-six members, sixteen had tank
heaters in operation during this
month, and seven barns were equipped
with drinking cups. Two members
had both tank heaters and drinking
cups, while only three members were
not equipped with either one of these
methods for providing water of modi-
fed temperature. The average pro-
duction of, the 44S cows during the
month, with IS dry, was 703 pounds Of
milk and PIT pounds Of fat.-Wal-

81 FACT s 81
ONLY HIGH GRADE
MILK WORTH WHILE
Poor Quality Production to
Be Avoided.

BY DIR. NJ. w. YALE. Bacteriologist. New
York State Experiment Station.
WNU Service.
Meeting the bacterial count require
ments for premiums on grade A milk
Is proving profitable to many New
York state dairymen in these days OF
low milk prices. A first premium
Is paid on milk with 10000 or less
bacteria per &C and a second premium
on milk with 10000 to $4,000 count.
In one large grade A plant in this
state, last June, 60 per cent Of the
producers received the first premium,
20 per cent the second, and 20 per
cent no premium. This last group lost
about $1,000 in premium money for
that month alone.
Accurate information on the com
mon sources of bacteria and dirt in
milk Is essential for the dairyman who
Is trying to produce high grade milk.
The results of studies show that the
average healthy udder produces milk
with a bacteria count less than 1900
per &C, while infected udders may con-
tain hundreds of thousands of bac-
terra per &C. The number of bacteria
added to milk from the dirt that ap-
pears as visible sediment under clean
conditions is less than 100 per &C, but
under dirty conditions it may reach
$1,000 to 10000 per &C. Dust In the
barn adds less than 10 bacteria per &C
under average conditions, but it shows
as sediment and should be avoided.

Substitute for Sunshine

The reason poultry experts often
recommend cod liver oil as substi-
tute for sunshine Is because 1t Is rich
in vitamin d, growth and vigor
factor with great tonic properties.
This Is explained by the fact that
the Goldfish from which it is obtained
lives in northern seas where the sun
shines for long periods. 1t obtains its
food from heterogeneous and plants
that absorb ultraviolet rays of the
sun and the fish stores up the vita
Minis in it's vital organs, principally
the liver. No other fish is able to
store equal quantities, it is said. Cod
liver oil fed to breeding hens increases
fertility and hatchability. When fed
to young stock. stronger and quicker
growth results.

of the pieces, one of which is almost
an exact miniature of the other, are
shaped almost like solid pitchers.
They are rounded as if turned on a

cannot have been devised as vessels.
appear to have been fashioned by
some human agency. Both pieces
are a species of sandstone, and were
found by Mr.. Kean in the Wairoa
district at the bottom of deep out
crops of river metal, between 50 and
40 feet below the surface. The third
piece is petrified wood, weighing sew
eral pounds On both ends are cuts
which have obviously been made with
a species Of ax. This piece was found
with the larger of the two pestles,
and from the depth at which it was
found must have been buried for
very long period of time.

USE SURPLUS FEED
is EXPERTS ADVICE
Skimmilk Saves on the Pro-
tein Supplements.

By A. r.. Winter. Poultryman. College Of
Agriculture. University of illinois,
wNU Service.
The present plentiful supplies of
feed can be used up profitably by
chickens IL they are property fed.
Right now, there are few better ways
for farmers to improve their income
on this feed than to use it for chickens.
At current egg prices 1t takes only
about ten eggs to pay for the %
pounds of feed eaten daily by 100 hens.
Consequently, anything better than 10
per cent production means extra cash
income from the grain that goes to
poultry.
One farm adviser reports a farmer
who is making gross income of $50
week on the sale of eggs from his
500-bird flock. It is fairly safe to as
sumo that the weekly feed cost on
this flock is not more than $8.75, al
lowing % pounds of feed daily for
each 100 hens.
The farm poultry flock also can pro-
vide profitable outlet for some of the
surplus milk which is a problem in
certain areas. A flock of 500 hens
can use 40 gallons of skimmilk a
week when the milk is used as the
chief source Of protein in the ration.
There is no particular value in the
fat content of milk for poultry, so the
dairy farmer can separate his cream
and sell 1t more profitably than he can
feed it to chickens. On the other hand,
the surplus skimmilk should make it
possible to save on the common pro-
tein supplements, which are generally
the most expensive part Of the poultry
ration.
A good mash mixture to use with
skimmilk can be made from 200 pounds
ground yellow corn, 100 pounds ground
wheat, 100 pounds ground oats, 20
pounds meat scrap, pounds steamed
bonemeal, pounds ground limestone
and pounds salt, with milk to drink
instead Of water.

Sun Good Disinfectant

The sun is wonderful disinfectant.
The windows of the poultry house
should be so arranged that the sun
will see all the floor space during the
day. Windows should come to within
two feet of floor and extend to the
same distance from peak large enough
to contain about one-third front of
house. If there is a curtain before
the roosting quarters. 1t should be
lifted during the day and the sun al
lowed to penetrate every nook and
corner Of the roosting pen.

Fewer. Better Cows Paw

One herd of eleven cows in the
Garnavillo Qowa) Contrasting asso-
citation produced an average Of 331
pounds of butterfat per COW last year.
The income above feed cost was
S2S7.92. Another herd of 20 cows
produced an average of 229.9 pounds
of butterfat, but the income above
feed cost was only S2S7.74. The larg-
er herd consumed 10 tons more hay,
20 tons more silage and 10 acres more
pasture. required about twice as much
labor as the small herd, and put l.
O17.5 pounds more butterfat on the
market, yet returned IS cents less

Valuable Formula for
Homemade LAYING Mash

y
The old ration consisting of 100
pounds each of ground corn, ground
oats, bran, middlings and meat scraps
Is still a useful formula for home
made laying mash. The addition Of 2
per cent ground limestone, 2 per cent
bone meal and l per cent fine table
salt makes the ration better, as the
minerals help in the production Of
strong shells. When homegrown wheat
is available 1t pays to substitute 200
pounds ground wheat for the 100
pounds of bran and 100 pounds Of mid
dlings In the above ration.
Another good laying mash consists
Of $50 pounds corn meal, 100 pounds
ground oats, 100 pounds bran, 100
pounds middlings. so pounds meat
scraps, so pounds alfalfa leaf meal.
Is pounds bone meal and pounds
fine table salt. In that ration the corn
meal can be reduced to 100 pounds

Keep Record of Sires

The only way to prove sire Is
through a system of continuous rec
ord keeping on the entire herd, and
retain him until his transmitting abil-
ity is known. Many breeders and in
stitutions are now following such a
system and IL this plan is generally
adopted there will soon be made avail
able a large number of proved sires
and a better basis for improvement In
the production of our dairy cattle will
be established, says writer In
Hoard's Dairyman.

Value of Charcoal

The value Of charcoal In poultry
feeding is frequently overlooked. Good
samples of charcoal are rich In min
erals such as phosphoric acid, lime,
magnesia and potash, which play an
important part In the growth and de-
velopment Of young stock and are of
especial benefit to the blood-stream,
on which health and production so
largely depend. By giving per cent
of powdered or graduated charcoal
daily in the soft or wet mash, much
trouble can be averted.

Pea Vine Silage Does
Not Affect Milk Flavor

On the basis of feed required for
milk production, using well balanced
concentrate ration, pea vine silage is
worth 81 per cent as much as corn
siage, and with corn silage worth
$3.50 a ton, pea vine silage is worth
$500 a ton. This is the conclusion
reached at the Wisconsin College of
Agriculture following feeding trials
with two groups of five dairy cows
each, carried for 126 days, using al
falfa hay in both cases.
No flavor was impaired to the milk
by pea vine silage, but when it is fed
it is not good idea to store It in
the stable. Average daily milk flow
was % pounds per cow on corn silage
and slightly over 81 pounds ON pea
vine silage.-Wisconsin Agriculturist.

Feeding Green Oats

Oats cut for hay make very sat
isfactory feed for dairy cattle. though
unless they receive In addition some
meal mixture, 1t is doubtful II they
will produce to their full capacity OF
milk.
After COW freshens. she might
have FIVE pounds each Of green oats
and grass hay, and in addition for
each three and half pounds of milk
she produces, allow her one pound of
a mixture carrying about Is per cent
Of protein.
